2 CREM STORE AT THE WEST. Tenitble and Hea Freshets—A Vio- lent Gale—Bad Breaks In the Canal fall- the soem sounel, Nov. 11.] mens past wi there have been ver v rm Jon throu the counties on the line of the Tie Canal snd Central Railroad west of Syracuse. On Monday came ‘the most terrific storm of all. ‘It began early in the morn- . The rain fell in torrents, accompanied by a violent gale, rooting up trees, blowing down chimneys, destroy- us fences and sheds, and, in some instances, unroofing ouses. The storm was wradbiely followed by heavy fresh- ets and floods. Rivers aud creeks burst their usual doundaries, submerged the adjoining fields and swept | ‘away bridges, milldams and whatever opposed their re- sistless course. Canal embankments and railroad cul verts shared in the common ruin, leading again to new | disasters. We gather from the statements of ngers who bave reached here to-day, from our ‘Western ex- changes and from telegraphic reports the following details. Much, however, remains yet to be learned. Mail commu- nication was completely cut off yesterday in that section, and is even yet so much interrupted that the: full extent of the dams, done cannot be ascertained. THE CANAL BREAKS. About three miles east of Palmyra, the embank- ment gaye way and water poured oat with such violence, as in a sbort time to entirely destroy over a hundred feet of the tow path. A boat passing atthe time was sucked into the current, carried clean out of the canal and strand- ed high and dry in the adjoining field. Not only the en- tire bank of the canal, but the earth in the bettom was swept out to the depth of two feet. ‘A couple of miles east of Newark, another and similar break has ocourred. Fifty feet of the tow path is gone, to a depth of three feot below the bottom. Of course all passing of boats is -to] The damage can hardly be repaired in less Qian tive 8. ALONG THE RAILROAD, The present tiood is the greatest known in forty years, the high water reaching houses and barns never betore touched by it. Nearly the whole track of the railroad, from Weedsport (Cayuga county) to a mile this side of Newark (Wayne county), a distance of twenty-five miles, was at one time under water. In some places this water stood at the depth of four feet. This was caused by the giving way of the banks of the canal, submerging every- thing in the neighborhood.

THE OSWEGO RIVER. [From the Oswego Palladium, Nov. 10.) Owing to the heavy rains the river is very lngh. It is as high as it has been at any time this season. A con- siderable portion of the towpath on the canal is now un- der water. AT SYRACUSE. Passengers from the East collccted in considerable num- bers at Syracuse yesterday, waiting an opportunity 10 get off tothe Wesi. No trains lett thero by the new oad. The hotels reaped a profitable harvest by the delay. Those who wished to leave for the East were also do- tained by the non-arrival of the trains from Rochester, ‘with which they were to connect, until last night a train was made upat Syracuse and sent castward with the Paseengers and mails, arriving at the usual time this morn- ing. © who eame by it report that the road j# in perfect order from Syracuse here, and that they encoun- tered no delay They are also of opinion that the damage ‘west of Syracuse will be sufficiently repaired by to-day to permit the passing of trains certainly over the old road, and, perhaps, aiso over the new. {From the Syracuse Journal, Nov. 10.)

Mr. Henry P.

Mr. F. informs us that steamboatmen at Pitts- burg are calculating on @ great depth of water at that | point, as the rains bave extended up into the mountains. | We shall not be surprised to hear of arise of at least twenty feet of water by despatches this evening. Upon this swell another flect of coal boats will come out, bringing w this ad southern ports at least two hun- dred thousand bushels of coal. The pilots of the Superior report the river rising at Louisville when they left at the rate of half an inch per hour, and raining very hard. The Kentucky and Miami were both runnimg out freely. This falling weather may be said to have commenced ‘first gently, iusinuatingly, penetratingly; then meee. almost jolliiy; then fiercely,” and so continued. This fine stage ‘of water is gladsome to the heart of steamboatmen, and if shippers will only respond by sending rapidly their pro- duce and other freight forward, we will have a busy time here for several weeks. {From the Pittsburg Gazette, Nov. 9] Yesterday the air was peculiarly” sultr; smoke and rain came down together all day, and at night the latter fell in torrents. We shall have an immense rise in all the rivers; that is asettled fact now, although Jast night they had not swelled much. There was quite heavy thunder in the afternoon, AN INCIDENT OF THE STORM. Agentlen..u doing business up town started for Third strect about 2 o'clock for the purpose of making a deposit, taking with him his bank book, between the leaves of which was enclosed the sum of $700 in bank notes. As it rained torrents at the time, the depositor placed the bank book, as he supposed, in'his pocket; but, unfortu nately, in his haste he allowed the lucre to slip from bis grasp and become the sport of the storm, which was then at its height. Arrived at the bank his funds were mis- sing, and all he could do was to retrace his steps and ex- amine the sidewalk on his way for relics of what he ‘shad over’ a few hours previously. A few steps brought him to a foaming rush of waters, the side of which, with their brief legs hanging over a curbstone, were seated a party of urchins fishing out one | doilar bills with pieces of lath and ancient broomsticks. Upon the arrival of the owner these juveniles made a precipi- tate retreat, and left the coast clear for the operations of the legitimate proprietor of this “floating currency.” who finally succeeded m un-liquidating $107 out of $700, the amount which he intended to deposit. own for a The fog, TELEGRAPHIC. THE FRESHET IN WEST NEW YORK. Auuayy, Noy. 12, 1857. Letters from several points West, received this morn ing, bring details of the disastrous effects of the freshets. Some passengers have arrived here from Rochester. They got down to Lyons on the new road by rail,andthence crossed in carriages to Geneva on the old road. They had abard passage. One or two trains have got over the old road, the passengers being transferred from train to train at Vienna over some two miles of break. THE CENTRAL RAILROAD. Aupany, Nov, 12, 1857. Trains are now leaving regularly for the West on the New York Central Raifroad, They go, at present, by the old road, between Syracuse and Rochester, with but Kittle detention. THE ERIK RAILROAD AND THE FRESHET. Fumma, N. Y., Noy. 12, 1857. The Erie Railroad is now in order between New York and this place. West of here it is rendered temporarily impassable by the late freshet. Passengers are taken west via the Elmira, Canandaigua and Niagara Falls Rail- road, which is in perfect order throughout. THE CROOKED LAKE CANAL. Aunany, Nov. 12, 1867. At Hammondsport, at the Lead of Crovked Lake canal, all the streets of the village are washed away, and the water in them stands six or seven feet deep. Many build- ings have been undermined. All the villages on the line of the Crooked Lake canal are badly damaged, and the canal so broken as to render its repair this season impos- | sible. Seventy-five thousand bushels of barley and a of this canal. A letter from Penn Yan states that the rain fell like a deluge from Sunday morning ti!l Tuesday night, and that the freshet is the greatest ever known there. Rocngsrer, Nov. 12, 1856. The breaches by the freshet in the Central Road have not been repaired. The new route is most damaged. Two trains with over 1,000 passengers left hore this morning jor Syracuse over the old road. The passengers willhaveto be transferred a mile or more around the breach east of Vienna. We bave had no Albany mail since Monday morn- ing. The Genesee Valley road is also obstructed, and passen- gers cannot reach the Erie road. It is ditficult to estimate the damage by the freshet, as we are etill cut off from com- munication with many of the sufferers. Up the Genesee vatley the damage has been immense; houses, barns, bridges, cattle and timber have been swept away. A bridge over the Genesee river, ten miles above this city, was carried away this inorning witha man upon it, who was rescued when near the city.

RELIRF FOR DISTRESSED VESSELS ON THE COAST AD- JACENT TO THIS HARBOR DURING THE APPROACH ING WiINTER—THE NEW REVENUE STEAMER AND THE STEAMBRS FOR THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. TO THK KDITOR OF THB URRALD. : Nuw York, Nov. 8, 1857, It may be recollected that at the lst session of Con- gress a Dill was passed by nearly a unanimous vote ap- propriating the sum of one bundred and fifty thousand dollars ($160,000) for the purpose of “procuring, by pur chase or otherwise,” a suitable steamer to be used as a revenue cutter, and, as provided by the act of December, 1887, to carry succor and relicf to distressed merchant vessels during the rigorous winter months on our coast. ‘The underwriters and merchants of this and other ports had for many years made the most strenuous and urgent appeals to the Treasury Department to carry into execu- tion this provision of Congress, but the repeated and only reply was, “No authority.” Repulsed, but not discouraged, the underwriters of this city made an appeal to Congress during the winter of 1855-6, and through the active aud very energetic eflorts of the Honorable Guy R. Pelton, repre- rentative from the city of New York and a member of the Committee of Commerce of the House, to which com- mittee the subject was referred, the bill passed the House at that session by an overwhelming vote at the last hour, notwithstanding the presence on the door of the Assistant Secrotary of the Treasury, leter G. Wi ton, who used every means in his power to secure its de- feat; and its final passage by the Senate was not effected until the last session, through the untiring efforts of the Hon, Stephen RK. Mallory, Senator from Florida, It is due to the present able Secretary of the ‘Treasury to state that the carrying out of the humane designs of Congress was Jeft to his hberal and enlarged views of the demands of commerce, and it is equally just that the energetic opposi- tion of his predecessor to the measure should be made Known. “Geutlemen,” sail Le, to those who presented to him*a reapeetiul petition from the merchants and underwriters of — thi iy, “1 do not de- sire to read the petition. You want to establish a secoud ‘Home squadron.’ and it shall not be accom: plished during my administration of the affairs of this de- partment;” but was informed at the time that the bill would pass, und it did by a two-third vote, and his power und limited views, as well as narrow-minded policy, were defeated. It being left to Mr. Cobb to carry the law into execution, immediately upon assuming the control of the department he called together the best talent in the coun- uy, engineers and naval constructors—men whose pro- feb<ional abilities are unquestioned, and whose integrity is uid suspicion—and to them were submitted the mo- , plans and specifications presented by some twenty mpetiiors for the construction of the vessel, amoug whom were some of the prominent shipwrights of the country. After a careful investigation of several weeks, during which time each competitor was afforded an op- portunity to explain in person to the committee his plans, those of Mr. Wm. H. Webb, of this city, were selected unanimor The triumph of Mr. Webb elicited some strictures from his disappointed rivals, but in addition to the opinion of the commuttee his selection has tho endorsement of all the underwriters of this city in addition to that of the principal merchants. The vessel is now pearly completed, and it is anticipated will be ready for launching about the middle of the present month, ‘To those interested ip the success of this new enterprise of the government, and more particularly to connoisseurs in ship building, we recommend a visit to Mr. Webb's yard. The vessel is symmetry itself, aud, the materials And workmanship are of the most superior description. She ix 180 feet between perpendiculars, 30 fect extreme breadth, and 123, feet hold. She will be provided with two inclined engines, cylinders 42 inches diameter and 7 feet stroke. The engineg are being constructed by the Allaire works, and as far as can be judged from present progress give Upeasead of efficiency. ‘The materials are—Frame, white oak; apron, stern post, transom, cants and top timbers, live ouk; stanchions, locust, and mast and hatch combiag mahogany. ‘Her armament will be one long 82-pounder forward, four 24-pounder brass howitzers and one 12-pounder boat gun. It is anticipated that the vessel will be in readiness to enter upon the discharge of the arduous and iny duties to which she will be assigned during the early part of the approaching winter, and in the event of her useful- ners being nade manifest it will be but the inauguration of a general system of relief and protection to commerce upon our coast during the winter season. If it is the duty of the government to afford protection to our merchant vessels in distant seas, and to tax commerce for the support of @ naval establishment abroad, how much more important its protection when arriving at the very. threshold of our own harbors, laden with valuable cargoes and crowded with Sr: Much of the sucvess of this vessel will depend upon the asciection of a commander who been accustomed to the hardships of a winter's coast; and we are informed that the underwriters and merchants have re- commended the present commander of the cutter Wash- ington, Capt. Faunce, one of the very few thorough sea- men left in the revenue cutter service. We are informed that the revenue steamer is to be called the Harriet Lane, after the niece of President Buchanan, a delicate and be- coming compliment. In addition to the revenue steamer a propelier corvette of 10 guns, for the Russian government, is under con- struction, and the bull is nearly completed and ready for launching. She 4: 220 feet on deck, 864; feet extreme beam, and 17 '¢ feet depth of hold. Sbe will be furnished with two oscillating engines; diameter of cylinders 51 inches, and 3 feet stroke; 300 horse power. In her construction the gd pieces are live oak, and the remainder white oak and locast. Her armament will consist of one § inch ! medium 32-pounder slid | now in progress at this quietly as to attract but little outside notice. The keel of another propeller, a70gun ship for the Russian govern- ' ment, has been laid, and, judging from the plans, model, &c., will doubtless be a splendid achievement of naval ar- chitecture. The frames are being prepared from im- | mense timbers lying about the yard, and itis anticipated that she will be launched m about one year. These Russian men-of-war are being constructed under the superintendence of several of the most accomplished and scientific officers af the imperial nayy, and the infor- mation (hey will acquire upon the subject of naval archi- tecture will be of vast importance to the interests of the government they represent. Tt was during & personal visit to the Russian capital that Mr. Webb secured those important contracts, where no outside political influences could be exerted, but where professiona! merit and his high reputation at home were the only elements of success. Mr. Webb has en- joyed advantages within the reach of buf few of his ‘ofession. In addition to a liberal education he had the encot of instruction by his father, the late Isaac Webb, who, with his friend and patron, the distinguished Hen | Fektord, stood in the foremast rank of naval architect this country and the world, Independent of any pecuniary interest which ho may have in the construction of theae vessels, ho has by the prefe given to hin been virtually endorsed by both the Russian government as well as our own as the very first naval architect in this country. Althongh «till a young man, Mr. Webb has constructed about one hundred and twenty vessels of every descrip- tion, among which are some of the largest chips end sea steamers of the day: and it is worthy of remark, and dae to him to state, that upon the recent classification of ves- sels by the underwriters, those of his contruction were found entitled to the mark of extra confidence.

TO THE KDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. | take the liberty to request that you will publish the following statement, relative to a “ Fracas among the Railroad Officers,’ as the affair has been termed in a brief notice of the same in your paper. As erroncous reports have been circulated by interested parties, I feel it due to myself to state the causes that led to, and the circumstances connected with, the outrage } Committed npon me at a mecting of the Joiut Board of the Camden and Amboy Railroad and Transportation Company and the Delaware and Raritan Canal Company at Prince: ton, on Thursday, the 16th ult In the course of my official connection with the Camder ‘and Amboy Katlrow! and Transportation Company as Vier President, 1 noticed certain transactions that very naw rally excited my suspicions; but owing to the very peot- liar position in which I was placed, I was unable to inve- tigate them without the assistance of other officers, ad communicated them to one of the attorneys of the cam. pany and three of the directors. Ove of these direours Teported my suspicions to the suspected parties, whe im- mediately had the Executive Committee called together, and obtained from them a letter of dismissal, upon te al- Jeged grounds that! « had made falwe charge res to the character of the officers of the company ter | replied the same day that ‘Tporitively « lec injurious to the character of airy ficers of the company, but did mention what 1 « ed well grounicd suepicions to the attorney company snd three of the directors,” and wlied, “aa I believed I had only performed my duty in « doing, 1 should consider my¥elf in the position of View resident until these matters were fully examined by the Joard. Early the next moruing I received a letter fran the Ex- ecutive Committee, informing me that ‘‘they hal perhags, misunderstood the charges alleged to have bem made by and desiring me ‘to meet the Joint Boas! at Prince- ton, at 13) o'clock P.

Freling it my duty to be on the ground to prevent misrqresentation, and trosting to the good faith of the commites’s invita tions, (alone and nnarmed,) I went to Prirceton by the next train. T was greatly surprised to find none ofthe New York directors at the meeting, and only one of che directors re- presenting the interests of the State, owng, I presume, to the entire want, or shortness of the notie of the meeting; and was astonished to find both Jobu aml Robert Stockton at the meeting, though they baye no official connection with the Board, and are hot in the hebit of attending ite meetings Immediately wpon my entrance inte the Board room, T was requested by Joseph P. Bradley, Eaq., of Newark, ‘to state my charges.” I roplied, ag Thad stated in my letter of the day before, that “I had made no charges, but had pon monutioned my suspicions to four gentlemen di. rectly connected with the management of the road.” Mr. B. then desired me to detail those suspicions, and my proofs t sustain them. This dectined to do, except upon two pointe, “1 had pot had suf ficient time for preparation” —‘that those two matter; could be tested at once by very slight investigations At the close of this conversation Commodore Stockton ap proached me with angry gesticulations and violent lan guage, which i made no attempt to resent, but quietly and without excitement said that “ this whole procediling had only confirmed my suspictna.”’ At that moment some one (I think Richard Stockton) seized a bundie of valuable my from under my arm, which I insisted upon having I would leave the room, and which were then pro cured and returned to me by the seeretary, and at the same moment Jobn P.

October 28, 1867. News from the West Indles. Woe have files of papers from Nassau, N. P., to the 28th of October, and from Demarara to the Sth of the same month. ‘The journals contain news from both places, with ad- vices from several otber of the West India islands. 3 At Nassau, N. P., lessees of salt ponds who may be de- faulters for such arrears (with interest) on the 30th day of January next, will be proceeded against for the same. Advices received at Nassau from British Guiana state that the Chief Justice has introduced a bill into the Court of Policy, for the purpose of establizhing a retormatory achool for juvenile offenders in connection with the orphan asylum. We bave the following in reference to the gold discoveries in British Guiana;— A commission of scientific gentlemen have proceeded on a tour of exploration through the interior of Guiana, with the view of reaching the gold_ mines on the river Yuruari. ‘Three of these gentlemen (the Hon. Dr. Blair, Sir W. H. Holmes and Mr. W. H. Campbell) having ascended the river Waini, met the fourth Commissioner, Mr. McClin- tock, with a strong party of Indian guides, After reach- ing Barama the expedition was to proceed in batteaux to its source. From that point ay were to strike across the oountry to the Cuyuni, and then track up the stream tothe confluence of the Yuruari. After ascending this fede they would come to Tupuquea, the site of the gold mines. It is estimated that about 300,000 bushels of salt have ‘been raked at Inagus this season, and, should the weather continue favorable, another raking was expected soon, ‘The iskand was healthy. The Legistainre of Barbadoes have appropriated £26,000 to the erection of public buildings. The health of the island continues good, The excess of the value of the sugar crop of the island this year over that of last, owing to the advance in the price, is estit as very large At&t. Lucia everything appears unsettled in the admin- tration of affairs in the colony,, and eyery one seems to have ascheme of his own for setting them right once for all. A report was in circulation to the effuct that things were to be restored to their former state, with a Lieu- tenant Governor at the head of affairs, The weather con- tinued favorable for agricultural pursuits, and’ the pros- ts for the coming year are said to be most cheering. e crop, it is thought, will far exceed any that has been sent from St, Lucia for many years. ‘The crops at St. Salvador have been very abundant this season. Bananas aud plantains have been plentiful, and mostly brought to Nassau for sale. A few oranges were shipped from the settlements in the vicinity of Ben- net’s Harbor. In some places the inhabitants have piant- ed cocoanut trees, which are thriving very well. ‘The weather at Demerara had been very wet, causing the planters some anxiety. Trade among the merchants continued dull, The party sent by government to test the accuracy of certain representations which were made _re- specting alleged discoveries of gold up the Demerara river have returned to Georgetown, after a fruitless search for the precious metal. Another party would shortly proceed on a prospecting tour among the Pacaraima mountains. The Demerara Royal Gazette of the 8th of October an- nounces the arrival of a gentleman from Venezuela who had b@ught with him 15 ounces of gold, which he states is abundant at the mines he visited. Mining operations were carried on in the most primitive fashion. . ‘The Boston Theatre. BEFORE AND BEBIND THE SCENES. {From the Boston Bee, Nov 9. During the past few weeks the public have been en- lightened by an ce parte statement from a committee of stuckholders with reference to the condition of the Koston theatre, which statement contained an indirect censure upon the manager, charging bim, very | other things, with extravagance in the expenditure of the funds of t corporation. The charge has also been echoed in the columns of one of our city weeklies, which stated, in addi- tion, that the causes of the failure of the Boston theatre exncat be ig ooee ies Lome of hear ry the And the Hie. ese cl jew have ay le ad pondg or in malice. The manager is bound ete to employ a company equal in every respect to the first Gite thantcon ox Rutope; he tens to fli sood all dramatic and operatic entertainments in a style corresponding with such establishments, and was never to produce any- thing but the highest and most legitimate class of enter- tainments. ‘The stock company engaged by Mr. Barry, although “one of the best ever witnessed In this country, was not by any means extravagant. The salaries ‘paid to the actresses and actors were not as much as other met jitan theatres pay for like talent. And this remark will apply to every employé of the theatre. Mr. Barry’s contract with the stockholders of the thea- tre is to share the profits afer $12,500,%and the expenses paid. By the following, from a carefully prepared state- ment by one of the directors, it will be seen how the money received has been expended: — Ist Season. 2d Season.

After publishing the figures that are shown above, it is hardly necessary to say a single word in de- fence of Manager Barry. He has too long enjoyed the confidence of the [ay putation, and we feel confident that his reputation for ho- norable dealings, integrity and pew of motives, will live in the memory of all who have known him, long'after the curtain is dropped on his managerial course. ‘Theatrical and Musical.
