Australian Floods.
The water at West Maifcland has reached the second floor of the two storied buildings. The inhabitants are subsisting on biscuits and jam, no other food being procurable. The water is now receding. Several hundred of the residents of Morpeth, a small town close to Maitland, were rescued after being on the roofs of their dwelling all night. The loss of live stock is enormous, and all the crops have been destroyed. Many people are in a pitiable state, being totally ruined, while the distress among all classes is acute.
