Boston. April 18.?A tremendous flood, with' disastrous .results, occurred but ovening, in the towns of Wrentham and Norfolk, about twenty-five miles distant, by the breaking away of a dam which re? strains the water in Whitins Pond, the source of Mill Biver. This is a small river, not over twenty-five feat broad at low water,' but running with strong cur rent, mostly through meadows, and emptying into Charles Biver at Mead way. ' At this thne; an immense body of water was confined in the pond by a dam about 100 feet in length.

Ho firm was the embankment of sapd above the culvert that it stood apparently in? tact for the space of .an hour, and then it caved ip, and was swept away. When the road bed sank a freight train was within .fifteen feet of the place, though .ttot hi motion. A great volume of water had already passed the railroad, and hurried on to the achievement of of its greatest feat, forty rods below at the third cotton mill- The mill was originally a three-story wooden build? ing, bnt lately was enlarged lrr the addi? tion of a wing on each end. The bridge over the I country road succumbed, and then the water obtaining a firm bold of the main, building, lifted it and sent it crashing to . the meadows below. So . thorough was the work of demolition that the cupola alone of what a few mi-1 nutes before was a valuable mill re? mained standing upon the plain. The machinery and water wheel went with the mill, and shared the fate of the structures which housed them. The wings were left standing, but were so1 badly wrenched and undermined that they are probably ruined and will have to come down. About a half mile further down the stream! was another country road bridge,' near Klngebury Pond. This was snapped from its oundations almost at the approach of the waters and car? ried away. On the level space between the road and river tho waters spread out and ceased their work of destruction. The last bridge was swept away about 7 o'clock in the evening. One body was swept down in the flood, but it was sup? posed to be that of a man for some months missing. As far as known no lives wore lost, but the damage to pro? perty is very large; no houses were swept away, as their location on the banks wns such that tho water did not reach them. The ' following arc the losses as far as ascertained: WhHnv'u Dam, ?2,000; Elliot Mills, $10.000; the town lof Norfolk, $5,000; the New York and New England Railroad, $15,000; City Mills, $50,000 to $75.000. A large number of persons are thrown out of employment by the fall of the City Mills. BsowasvinnK, Texas, April Irl.?The following is the report of the committee appointed by a mass meeting of the citi? zens of Brownsville. The members of I the committee were all Union men, three of whom are Federal officials?Colonel] Hayns, Collector of the Port; Colonel G. G. Davis, Deputy Collector, and Edwnrd Downey, postmaster: To tub Hon. J. L. Hayns, Chaiumam, and Wm. Kellt, Sscbetabt or the Mass Meetino: Your committee, to whom was referred the subject matter of the alleged statements of Senor Mariscal, the Mexi? can Minister at Washington, in regard to the border troubles on the Rio Grande, iviz: That they are as much the work of I Americans as of Mexicans; that American | citizens, disguised as Indians and Mexi? cans, frequently raid upon the settlers, |and the more daring of the parties en? gaged in the frequent raids arc ex-Con tfederate soldiers, who, ruined'by war and deprived of the support of slave {labor, prefer the life they are leading to warning an honest livelihood; say they ee satisfied that Senor Mariscal has been isinformed, and grossly deceived as to "".ne .true;.condition of affairs on this '?Antieiy' and that, he bias thus nninten nally probably done the American itizens of. this frontier great .wrong and justice, as con be easily proved by tho ost undoubted testimony. The time riven your committee is too short to pre? pare a full refutation of unjust aspersions Bontaihod in the correspondence of 'Senor Mariscal, and your committee would recommend the appointment of a commission to collect facts, and submit them to tho consideration of the Hun. Secretary of State to refute the charges] if tho Mexican Minister. In tho mean? time, your committee submit the follow? ing brief resume of facts which arc sus? ceptible of tho clearest proof. First, that for at least ten years since the close of our civil war there has not been single act of hostility, invasion or plun? dering, or filibustering against the Re? public of Mexico from the Shite of I Texas, nor any act of a single person Iiassihg from this to tho other side of th* lio Grande, with any such intent, aud we challenge any seiniilia of proof to tk< contrary. Second, that for the last ten years raids of volunteer parties from i Mexico to this side of the Rio Grande | have been continuous oud persistent, and these plundering parties have drawn from our stock ranches hundreds of thou? sands of stock. They have committed rob? bery and arson, and* to the repeated com? plaints made to the Mexican authorities for their rendition to tho hands of jus? tice a deaf ear has been turned. We cito the following rocent and notorious cases: The robbery of a storo-at Ponescannd| the murder of the Morton brothers; the murder' of R. E. Ashbury at Losangos; the murder of Mr. Fuller, postmaster at Elsanse, and his clerk in Hidalgo County; the , murder of La Hill? by Ricardo Flo res, near El Post olio; the attempted assassination of Capt King and a party of friends near San Fernando, and the murder of one of his friends; the murder of Alexander Morel! and many others, which will be detailed Hereafter, and lastly inn recent raid of 400 or 600 men In a body near Corpus Christi, whieh band captured and held as prisoners many persona, including three ladies, and which finally aurroundod the town of Roma on their return to Mexico for the . purpose of robbery, from whioh they worn only? deterred/ by the presence of United States soldiers. Tho proof of the extent of the robbery committed by thcao plundering raids appear in the re? port of the Frontier Cornmission, to which additional evidence eould be added. OBhW, that the charge that these crimes ??ore committed by ex-Cohfoderat? sol? diers, disguised as Maxieans ar.d In? diana, and rendered 'desperate by tho rods of their slave property, is an ab? surdity on its face, into Which the Mexi? can Minister could only have been lea ^.y ignorance of this part of Texas. In the first iplace, thore were never any I Slaves West of the Neue* worth mention' .hag, tho cenAUs of i860 showing the total iber in:this vast region, oqaal to the > of Pennsylvania in extent, to have Hit while West of San Anw m the asiiirbnr did not oxceed iere are osdy eight Amerieans are s^Ooufsderatt woKkrrS dn lire Osmetoty rani J.

Washington, April 10.--Growing out ? f tho ndd upon Bagdad, Mexico, in 1800, there are 108 Mexican claims against the United States, and twelve' American claims against Mexico-the latter brought by American citizens who were doing business in Bagdad. Tho American Commissioner claims that the raiders were invited by Mexico and com? manded by Mexican officers, to drive the Imperialists from Bagdad, and flushed with success, sacked the town, and that the United States troops wore sent across to preserve order. The Mexican Com? missioner claims that the United States soldiers did the sacking, and that the United States is responsible. A test case has been submitted to Sir Edward Thornton, upon which all the claims I will turn. Sir Edward will give his de? cision as umpire in a few days.
