U USJ* y Inundation ot Cincinnati, A proof slip from the office of the Cincinnati American, under date of the 14th inst. furnishes the following particulars of the inundation of part of that city j THE FLOOD! 8 The Ohio since our last notice has eon 1, tinned to rise rapidly. Early on Sunday t morning it took a fresh start, and continued n I to rise ai the rate of about three inches per e h 'Ur. Yesterday it rose at the rate of about e one inch per hour, overflowing the great part t {of the third aud fourth wards. Water v street is navigable for boats of almost any ii tonnage. The Robert Fulton, which left ( yesterday for Louisville, was obliged to v back up the street to clear the Undo Sam. ol The office of the Commercial Advertiser, at e the corner of Water and Frout, is ft >oded . with water about four feet on the first floor. i Our publishing office at the corner of Co ~ luotitic and Main, is surrounded with water, e but we hope to reach it this morning by e iinall craft. e l The tlestt action of property is immense y cellars filled with water—board yauls swept i-jof every stick of timber—and some houses it already on the move. nl Since writing ttie above, we have been out k reconnoitering the premises. What a scene ! is The water still on the rise—people moving ie in every direction—some Irom the first to to the second stories—others from the second r. escaping in boats- It is undoubtedly the w greatest rise ever known. A friend, who iel arrived in the Napoleon from above, reports in nineteen house » on the way, which may he ae expected in due season. At Lawrenceburg. aa below as, the houses were secured by good so cables to the nearest blufL—-this, however, tojwe should not be willing to vouch for, as id!many entertain serious doubis whether any m vestiges can be left by this time.

Accounts ot private losses are coming in ;every hour. | The saw mill at this place was carried off bodily, | The frame of the canal boat which was bin the s ocks, owned by Mr. Oeorge Sing* ly, floated several miles down the river. Immense leases have been sustained by the proprietors of nearly all (he salt woikg on both rivers Messrs. B ’ggss, Hill Tal* mage. B'gharn, Kocsler. Brennem.tr. &. Co. and Clessen, are the principal sufferers on the Riskemineta*. The loss of the first named gentleman alone is estimated at from 40 to 50 000 dollars. On the Conem .ugh, Messis.

THE FLOOD. I Suet a scene has never before occurred in our neighborhood, as that produced b* the rise of the Ohio river and Big Beaver creek on Friday and Saturday last. The water at the junction of those streams was seven or eight feet higher than ever was known be. fore. Bridgewater, Sham, and F listen were all inundated, as well as the building* up and down the river. In some of th® houses the water was up in (he second story, and most of them near the ceiling in tha first. A great many light buildings were carried away, together widi hay and grain stacks and fences. The loss in the range where the water flowed is incalculable. 6 Among the sufferers in this vicinity, Ste phen Stone, E-q is the greatest. Ho esti mates hi* loss at near ten thousand dollars. His old dwelling house and stable were car ried away; and # large new brick house, lately finished, & which cost about S4OOO, is so much injured that it is believed it will fall—a brick kitchen attached to it was torn away. Messrs. D. Minis and H. J. Was son, suffered considerable loss, (he dwelling house of the latter being swept off. * The water was up to the ceiling in Gen. Lacock’s house, and his stable and other out 1 houses, fences and hay stacks, were all carri ed away, and his valuable Library destray. ed. At Sharon, the F undry of Messrs, ’ Daragh and Stow was torn away, and at Fnllston, the Scythe Factory nf Mr. D. S. Stone was destroyed, and Messrs. Pughs, , Wilson &Co., have sustained considerable , loss. The Islands above and below, have ' been stripped of every thing, their occupants > barely escaping with their lives, j The public works on Beaver cr«ck have 1 sustained little or no injury. B Notwithstanding the uncommon rapid ( rise of the water, and the distress produced B by it, It is with gratitude we have the plea , sure of stating that there were no lives lost 1 From th » Columbus (Ohio) Journal. By the Ravenna Courier, we learn that * great destruction of property, by the rise of y water, took place along the Cuyahoga river, * on the 10’ h, 11 lb, 12'll, and 13 h Inst. From this we may infer that the Muskingum n and Scioto river* will contribu'e 'heir full shares to the already ever whelming volum® >• of the Oitio ; and the rise ts 'he Motionga » hela and Voughioguny gives us a»suran*e, e which experience forbids us to distrust, that he tenhawa will alsu contribute largely to S> the work of destruction.
