AUSTRALIAN.
Sydney, March 16. Tamworth is under water with the greatest flood ior 25 years. It is feared stock has perished in large numbers on low-lying paddocks. A creep occurred in a block of fourteen' buildings. The Broken Hill railway line, which runs through the block to the British mine, was left suspended three feet in the air. There is little damage underground. News from the Islands states that the attack made on Wellings, the purser of the South Australian, was quite unpremeditated. He was walking with several others, when a native whom he had never seen before, struck him with an axe, almost severing an arm. Gangrene set in. Brisbane, March 16. Constable Murtagh was drowned at Fortitude Valley in trying to rescue a horse from flood waters.
