A GREAT FLOOD.
Extensive Districts in Aus

Loss of Life, Shipwrecks and Destruc-
ton of Large Amount OF Valu-
able Property.

Several districts of Australia have re-
Gently been devastated by ona of the
highest floods ever recorded, says the
Sydney Herald of March 20, received by
the steamer Mariposa. West Maitland,
Singleton, Branxton and other townships
were on Friday the 10th almost completely
under water. Hundreds of families were
driven from their homes and had TO take
refuge in the churches and other public
buildings. A number of houses we're car
ried away ana several lives have been lost.
Roads and tIidges have been swept away
and ruin and deSolation occasioned on all
hands. When the hOod-waters had receded,
which they did on Wednesday, pitiful
scene was everywhere presented.
The gale on Wednesday, the Sth, and
Thursday, the 9th. was one OF the hercest
ever experienced on the coast, and several
serious shipping casualties occurred. The
brig Hebe, an old trader between Sydney
and Newcastle, was wrecked on the beach
between Stockton and Port Stephens The
steamer Federal was driven ashore al the
North Spit, near Stock ktOn, and fears were
entertained that she would never be got
off. She was, however, successfully floaled
off on Tuesday. apparently uninjured.
Many hundreds of persons were rescued
from roofs of houses, trees and other OBJ
jects, by the police or volunteers, boats ply
ing between Newcastle and Maitland for
lnhL purpose anu loT carrying PROVISIONS.
The Government was very prompt in pro
viding for the immediate wants of the refu-
gees, but necessarily much suffering and
loss must be endured by many hundreds
Even Newcastle suffered from food The
gasworks were submerged, and the town for
some time was without gas. At West Malt
land the Seaham Colliery dam burst. and
the pit was rendered idle.
At Morpeth numbers of families were
nearly drowned, hundreds of people rescued
from tops of houses and barns after being
exposed TO the fury Of the gale; tropical
rain all night. Seven lifeboats we're out
resculng people from perilous positions and
many were landed on high ground prOvi-
sionless and half-cad. The state of affairs
is most pitiable, many houses being swept
away. The loss If live stock is enormous.
hundreds of cattle and horses having been
drowned.
Very great difficulty was experienced in
reaching those persons whose only safety
lay in elinging TO the tops of houses. The
railway lines being either washed away or
several feet under water, boats could not be
despatched very readily, and loss of life
NAV have been greater than was at first
supposed, some seven or eight persons.
Every thing. however, that was possible
seems to have been done. One steamer,
taken up from Newcastle to bevond Ray
mond Terrace, picked up no fewer than 800
people.
