Inundation in Holland.

--The dykes in Holland were broken in various places January 8th and 9th, sweeping away the houses of thousands of unfortunate creatures, who are wandering cold, hungry, and homeless upon the dykes. At night the rush of the torrent is distinctly heard at a considerable distance. --English paper.
