Further Particulars

We are indebted to a gentleman of this city, one of the sufferers on Crum Creek, for the following particulars of the disasters in Delaware county Pennsylvania, by the recent storm.

On Crum Creek, every bridge from, and including Lewis' large bridge, have been carried away. Beatty's mill, (celebrated for edge tools) and dam are destroyed. Lewis' paper mill near it is much injured. Wm. J. Leiper's upper dam is about half swept away, and his lower one still more damaged. Both the mills on these dams are cotton mills, occupied buy James Riddle who has suffered considerably, ;he whole of his cotton having been swept away, and machinery injured. Five horses belonging to S. Bull, a colored man, were drowned in a stable. George G. Leiper's mills and canal escaped with but little injury. On the lower part of the creek the meadows are much damaged by the breaches at the junction of Darby and Crumb [Crum?] creeks and the railroads there is much injured. Ridley Creek has its bridges from Sharpless' to tide all swept away. Bancroft's dam is carried away and the mill much injured. Groves the same, at the latter seven person were drowned, having been swept away in their houses.

CHESTER CREEK.-The railroad and old chain bridge are both gone, and considerable injury and loss of life has been sustained along this creek, of which the definite particulars were not known.

A scene of unparalleled distress presents itself-families have escaped with nothing but the clothes they had on-shelterless and without food. The farmers have nobly sent in food and raiment to supply their wants. The water was seven feet higher than it was in the great ice fresh of 1832. An opportunity is now presented for charitable exertions-let our citizens bear it in mind.

Several of the small bridges on the road between this and Wilmington have been injured by the storm. The only bridge that has been carried away is the one at Chester. No injury has been done to the road itself. In the neighborhood of the Darby, Ridley and the Chester creeks, the damage done to private property is immense, and has been attended with great loss of life. The train of cars to Reading, returned yesterday morning, not being able to proceed farther than the fall of Schuylkill, on account of the injury done to the road.

About 9 o'clock on Saturday night, the bridge over Darby creek was swept off, and two men who were standing on it at the time were carried

away by the flood, and have not since been heard of. A house at Kelley's mills above Darby was also carried away and its inmates, a woman and four children were drowned.

There were eighteen coal boats sunk in the Schuylkill, and forty-four vessels sustained more or less injury.

A large number of boats run against the piers of the bridge, from one of which a colored man fell and was drowed [drowned].

The creeks near Wilmington were swollen to a feral height, and flooded the country for a great distance. Several head of cattle were lost.

The bridge at Naaman's creek was much injured.

Eleven lamp posts were blown down in the city.

Two or three bridges on the Reading Railroad have been swept away.
