Some inconvenience is still being expe rienced, even in the immediate vicinity of Wilmington, in consequence of the late heavy rains. A party of gentlemen started to take a walk out the old Newbern road, on Sunday afternoon, but found upon ar riving at. tbe bridge over the creek just beyond Bellevue Cemetery, and near what is known as Green's mill pond, that the road just east of the bridge was submerged with water. By carefully selecting their way, however, they wen " enabled to get across without much difficulty, and went on their way with the false impression, as it afterwards proved, that the tide was then at its full and the water would be out of the road by the lime tbey returned. The fact was that the tide had just commenced rising, and on their return, an hour abd a half later, they were surprised to find it about! two feet higher than when they passed, ' the road ' for some con -siderable distance being a complete sheet of water, rendering it impossible for them to reach tbe bridge without wading up to their knees, to accomplish which feat it would have become necessary for them; to make some preparations involving, a cer tain amount of trouble and unpleasantness. Fortunately, just in tbe nick of time,! a rockaway . made .its appearance on the bridge, the inmates of which, with the cx- ceplion of the gentleman wbo Held, ine j site side of the stream, and the water;bound peaesinans were aiuuiy ,auu eipeuiuousiy terned across the waste . of . waters, for which service they were profoundly thank ful. : -. .-;f.: ; It will be remembered that the bridge at this point was swept away by one of the previous floods, but has since been replaced.
