A fall of a cou ple of inches last night raised hopes, but during the. night an enormous volume of water coming (town stream turned these hopes Into despair' as the field of dam; age widened. Many of the lighter structures along the, embankment have been swept away and the' heavy pon toons for mooring passenger boats are canting at a perilous angle owing to their short mooring chains and ropes. "Should they be swept away they will do great damage by crashing into houses on their way downstream, as at some of these places" the floods have reached the third floors. From all parts of the Rhine, up and down stream, the same tale is forthcoming of flooded villages, suspended railway services and disaster.
