.... 1 11 N‘ '.l. On Saturday last we were positively informechbat this de luded woman was dead but it appears, however,' she did not die till Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock. During the whole of Monday it was evident to every :person around her that she could not exist many hours. Messrs. Wetherall, Adams, and Kent, were present when she breathed her latf; as where Miss Townley, Ann Underwood, the housekeeper, and Mr. Smith, one of those she denominated her seven elect. The last words she was heard distinctly to utter were, 44 Oh Er.gland England !" tier disciples, however, assert that their prophetess is not dead. It seems, that twenty years ago she predicted that she would go into a trance, and they therefore persid in considering her now iu that. state, ard the miraculous Shiloh will appear within four dLys. Her friends have cir culated the following letters : MR. STOKES. SlR—Agreeably to your request, I send a messenger to acquaint Ton that Joanna Southeott died thin morning, preekely at f, ur o'clock. The believers in her mi.sion, riipposing that the vital fonetions are only sumpended for a few days, will not permit me to open the body until some r y niptem appears %Well may destroy all types of rcsu.eitation.

Mareliester-strert, Tuesday, Dec. t 7, 1814. ,‘ To Dr. R. Reece." The scandalous delusion which has for several Months dis graced the metropolis, and even the character of the times we live in, is now at an end, and her contemptible followers can now retrace those steps which they have, with such a stupid disregard to their own welfare, taken with such ear- OW nen. The tide in the river was remarkably high on Wednesday. Soon after two o'clock the water flowed over the piles at iars-bridge ; the wharfs were inundated, and business suspended during an hour. It rose so high at the tmporary bridge by the Strand-bridge, as to leave no room for boats ,to pass through. There is a court in Narrow-wall, called Linsetree-couit, containing about twenty houses, inhabited by hard working people ; this place was laid under water. The inhabitants were washed out of the ground floor, and . confined to the first story. The water forced through the • houses above the Green Dragon in Pedlar's-acre, with rapi dity, and made the way impassable ; but passengers found the most interruption on the bank by Lambeth palace. TEere was one sheet of water from the end of Bishop's-walk to Latnheth church. Watermen attended with their wherries, .and conveyed persons across to the church. The flood ex tended along the bank to Vauxhall. The fall of water has been' very great from the heights of Windsor; part of the Park is flooded. Two fat oxen were c-ivied' down the stream through the arches of IVindsot bridge, and, the current being very strong, they were not able to let on shore till they came to a mill' a consiiterable d staftce - down the river, on the non side, whete they were got out.safe.
