The tide ran up the channel like a race horse, ami beat the wavee against,the Umbers of the bridge with a force that every minute threatened its destruction. Here and there the water was dotted with half sub merged houses, showing clearly that the residents must have been in an uncom fortable, not to say dangerous condition. The lira» of Third street bridge was raLed off the pivot, and all travel over it was suspended from an early horn this morning, on account pf the grave fears eniertalned for its safety. li ▲LONG THE CHRISTIANA, principal place of interest ws< he sburt s of tbe Chrisi iaoa, wh re great damage was caused by the unpre cedented high title which whs occasioned by tbe wind. The sou'h hanks aud the wnarves on the north side, were com pleteiy overflowed by nine o'clock, with the tide still swiftly running up, ami the time for high water two hours off. On Market street bridge a large crowd of sptotators constantly assembled to wate!« tue mail waters as they surged along, and to speculate upon the probable effects of the flood. Tlie river was filled with driftwood of all descriptions, and dozens of men were engaged in frantic efforts to supply themselves wlih fire wood by fishing it out.

Ah u nal in cases of high Hoods South Wilmington im tlie principle * The whole of the country Ling between the Delaware Western Railroad bridge on the west, aud the Delaware river the east win completely covered with water, extending to the south in some cases over a miie. On the Newcastle cuiuteway the water was from two to six feet deep, ami before ten o'clock travel was completely suspended. The travel to this city Is bv the way of New Castle. Iu South Wilmington many of the houses were submerged as high as the second floor but the exact condition of the people in thin locality was a matter of mere cunjvc'ure, as it was impossible to r»ach auy of them on foot, and the high wind and roughness of the water forbade auy attempt to cross the marshes in a boat. An idea of the height of the tide may he obtained when it is stated that the water was within a foot of the lower sur sufferer.— i 2 011 'f»ce of the bridge. x BUSINESS INTERFERED WITH. O 11 account of the high tide, all the business establishments along the creek a seri ourow & Son's ice houses and coal yard, in South Wilmington, were completely sur rounded by water, and two of their horses were caught iu deep water and had a serious struggle before they could reach a patch of high ground close to the side of the ice house. At the Diamond State rolling mill and were considerably flooded, causing ous incotiveuience to business. C , ,, Lobdell's lower mill work was partially suspended, and all of Pttsey, Jones A slufps were shut down on account of tlie flood and the wind, which for a while seriously threatened the safety of some 0 f th« buildings. Work at the Harlan & Hollingsworth Company's sliip va'ds was stopped on ac* count of the flood,aud the steamer 0 o p* Umr.j was floated over the witarl by the high tide. The steauser we* floated into d. eri water ago,it, without serious dam Tl.ep'.o*p & Co. uptlt sideraldy ffooned. The freight store house and wharf of 'Messrs.

But tlie freight house of Messrs. Geo. W.

Among tlie freight thus i. juted wore several barrels of flour, which were damaged by the waier. n,e water also flooded the low ground around th. P. W. & 13. K.

They started dowu again, iu the tuer o a tug, when they arrived near (Juarryvil e the wind was so strong that ihe captain of the tug made an attempt to turn t • the windward. In the attempt the hawser broke, and the ba ges got adrift. T hey floated off with the wind and tide into t;,e darkness of the storm. The tug came on to Wilmington, but I he barges bi.ve not been seen or heard of since. The damage to the shlppin Delaware river was undoubtedly very grea', as vessels of various descriptions can be seen aground ail along the shores. There are also several small craft float lug in the now deep water on the South Wilmington marshes. The shipping along the Cbriatiaua, being stoutly motr ed, did not sustain any serious damage.
