The high tide of Tuesday has caused much damage along the whole range of the eastern coast of the island.. Scarcely a port has escaped being flooded. On the Essex side of the Thames the fishing villages and marsh lands were swamped, as well as a large portion of the inland country, where the effect of a high tide was least expected. The tide rose in the Medway to-an extraordinary height, and for more than an hour previous to the time of high water the river in many parts over flowed its banks, and by the weight of water broke doWn the land-walls by which it is usally kept within its limits. The various wharfs in the neighbourhood were flooded, and in the High -street of Strood a boat plied for the conveyance of passengers, many houses being inundated to the depth of several feet. Antici pating a return of the visitation at night, various pre cautions were taken to exclude the intruder, but fortunately without cause, as the water then only attained the height'of an ordinary spring tide. At Ipswich it roie•qaore than two feet above the average spring tides. Higher. up the coast, towards the: Great Wash, the water rushed in with great im petuosity. - • - At Lynn, :the whole of the lower portion of the town was inundated. Boston experienced a similar iboding, and a serious damage of property is reported. The Humber rose to 29 feet 7 inches by the Hum ber dock-gates, and before high water the lower part of the town was inundated. Similar accounts of the disastrous effects of the tide have been received from many other places on the coast. The unexpected influx is attributed to the continuance of the recent watftly gales, which forced a great body of water up the channel into the North Sea, and the wind then suddenly veering to the N.E. on Monday night, drove it. up the nu merous rivers on the eastern an d northeastern coasts of England. _ The damage from the high tide on Tuesday, above Vauxhall-bridge, at Nine Elms, was very great. The approach to the pier was four or five feet under water. The Railway Hotel and the Southampton Arnis had five feet of water in their cellare, and Nine Elms-lane was impassable for horses or carriages. The goods station of the South-Western Railway was at least four feet under water, the various ware houses being all flooded. Wandsworth-road, from the gate at Vauxhall to Bradley-terrace was up to the horses' middles, and the river Eff; a burst its boundaries and inundated every house in South Lam beth, almost to the Clapham-road. The road from Nine Elms to Battersea was for some hours im passable, the fields being one vast expanse of water. Ledy Wombwell's seat, Sherwood-lodge, was entered by the tide, and great damage was done to the man sion and grounds. Tne palings bounding some fields opposite Sherwood-lodge, and through which a watercourse passes into the river, were torn up by the force of the torrent. At Wandsworth Mr. Daniel Watney's immense distillery did not escape the visita tion, and a large quantity of corn on the basement fl )ors was much damaged. At Messrs. J. Watney and Well's lower mill, which is fed by the Wandle, the tide made a clear breech, doing immense damage, and spoiling a very large quantity of floor. It was, however, at ,the water side, amongst the miserable dwellings of the fishermen, and in Lower North street, that the most pitiable scenes presented them selves, the water, in some instances, literally reaching to the ceiling; and man and wife, children and pigs, seeking refuge in the upper part of the houses. The fires at the gas-house were extinguished, and the town of Wandsworth was in total darkness all Tues• day night. The poor people whose houses were in vaded by the tide were supplied by the parochial authorities of Wandsworth with coal and other neces saries. At Putney, the tide corered the terrace, and the towing-path was useless for many hours. Oa the opposite side of the river, the grounds of the Bishop of Landon were all under water, as were those of Willow Bank, the late residence of Mr. Delafield.

THE TEETH.--How often do we find the human face divine disfigured by neglecting the chiefest of its ornaments, and the breath made disagreeable to com panions by non-attention to the teeth! Though perfect in their structure and composition, to keep them in a pure and healthy state requires some little trouble; and if those who are blessed with well formed teeth knew how soon decay steals into the mouth, ma ki ng uns i g h t l y what otherwise aro delightful to admire, and designating unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they would spare no expense to chase away these fatal blemishes. But although most ladies are careful, and even particu lar in these delicate matters, yet few are sufficiently aware of the imperative necessity of avoiding all noxious or mineral substances of an acrid nature, and of which the greater part of tho cheap tooth- powders of the present day era composed. It is highly satisfactory to point out Messrs. Rowlands' °Junto, or Pearl Dentl• (rice, as a preparation free from all injurious elements, an 1 emit c . .tly calculated to embellish and preserve the dental structure, to impart a grateful fragrance to , the breath, and to embellish and perpetuate the graces cif the ou th.—Sund rarer.

OAKrtAM, JAN. 28.—This morning a public meet ' " of all p ersons f am i liar to protection, industry, and capital, throughout the British empire," was held at the Castle, Oakham, for the purpose of adOpting a petition to Parliament, for the re-imposition of a duty on the importation of foreign produce. J. T. Springfield, the high sheriff, occupied the chair, and various protectionist resolutions, all carried unanimously, were moved by Viscount Camp den, M.P., Mr. George Finch, Mr. Heathcote, and Mr. Ceeethene (a tenant-farmer), and seconded by Mr. Saull (a tenant-farmer), Mr. E. Wortley, the Hon. G. J. Noel, M.P., and Mr. Stafford, M.P. In proposing the fourth resolution, Mr. CIIFET DAM, after touching on some more general matters, went on to say that in his leisure moments he could not help thinking that phantoms of ruined farmers would haunt the sleeping pillow of Sir Robert Peel. Knowing hew much he was execrated, he really should think he must move about in fear and dread. --(Hear, hear) Even if Sir Robert Peel should ever have a majority ;wain, he dared not take office. He (Mr. Cheetham) knew that if he was in Sir E. Peel's position, he should be afraid of the poniard and the dagger, ailed so he had a right to.—(lnterrup tion end cries of "No, no.") He should be sorry to say what he did not feel, but he thought he was justified in saying what he had, seeing what a narrow escape Peel once hid, when lie was not so much execrated as he was now.—(Disapprobation.) He believed that Cobden and Peel were travelling the same road. Peel, he was informed, had a strong grudge against the aristocracy, beca I:se one of them in the House of Lords once called him a weaver's son. Sir R. Peel's son need not be afraid of being called a weaver's son or a weaver's grandson, but he would be called " the traitor's son."—(Hear, hear.) Mr. STAFFORD, M.P., on seconding the resolution, commt - -nced as follows :--I begin by saying to Mr. Cheetham, not that I disagree with him, but strongly with the interpretation which perhaps our enemies may put upon some of the words which he has spoken.—(Cheers.) It will be uppermost in your minds at once to feel that I allude to that part of his speech in wh;ch reference was made to one high in office formerly, who entered office on our shoulders, and who then did nothing more nor less than betray us.—(Cheers.) But I urn sure Mr. Cheetham never meant to say, and I am sure the farmers of my native county never would respond to him if he did, teat there should ever be any wea pons used against that or any other individual than those which the farmers of England always have used upon similar occasions, namely, the weapons of full, fair, and free discussion, and open criticism on the public conduct of public men.---(Loud cheers.) I remember to have been in the House of Commons when that dreadful event to which Mr. Cheat ham has referred took place in the open street in the broad day. I remember, too, how great was the horror of that flagitious deed felt not only by his private friends, but I am sure shared in common by every Englishman of whatever politics or class. —(Loud and prolonged cheers.) It would ill become us to pass over words which might bear an ill inter pretation, and not to disarm our enemies of the weapons which they might use.—(Cheers.) After some further observations the Han. Gentleman went on to say that the Government had given a pretty plain in timation of the course they intended to pursue, by se lecting Mr. 'Villiers to move the address. However, though he had often heard Mr. Villiers speak in plain clothes, he had never yet heard him in a court dress, and it was astonishing what a change of coat often etTected—as great a change sometimes as a turn of the coat—(Cheers and laughter) —and hs should not be the least surprised if Mr. Villiers was, in col loquial language, to "draw it very mild."—(Cheers and laughter.) The only question was, whether the land was to be kapt in cultivation or not ?—(Bear, hear.) They had hitherto, with same angeniyl soil and always an uncertain climate, carried agriculture to such a pitch that they were not ashamed to com pare it to any other country in the world. So much for their agriculture. Politically, we had so fashioned, so modified, so reformed our constitu tion, that surrounding nations, when they would wish to lay the foundation of their own prosperity, thought they never could do better than follow the path which we had traced out; and, as with the plough, so with our political position—where the plough had been, there the plough should go ; and where our territorial interests had been powerful, they should be powerful still; and they would not consent to abandon their lands to barrenness, or their interests to those who would destroy them.—(Cheers.) And as in surrounding districts, so in the county of Rutland, they wished their Mem bers to pronounce, in the House of Commons, that lesson over and over again, to ears however un wit ling ; and he assured them that no endeavour should be wanting on his part to further the prayer of their petition, and to back up their Mena,!rs in their efforts.—(CLers.) The resolution was then carried unanimously ; and after a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, the meeting, which was said to be the largest that had been held in Rutlandshire for many years, separated. IEFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE. Toe annual general court of the governors of this deserving charity was held on Tuesday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, John Gurney Hoare, Esq., in the chair. The report for the year 1849 reminded the governors of their resolution, taken on the 31st of January last, to abandon the male de partment of the institution, in consequence of the withdrawal of Government support, and stated that on the 14th of February following, and before that resolution could be carried into effect, the cholera broke out in the house, seizing a large number of the in mates, and finally destroying thirteen of them and two matrons. Mr. Edw. For,ter, F.R.S ,the treasurer, in consequence of his exertions among the patients, was infected with the disease, and carried off after a very short illnets. To prevent further casualties, the inmates were dispersed, some to their friends, others to the colonies, and the rest to a temporary institu tion at Walworth. After the announcement made by the Government last year, tho committee of the insti tution had laid a statement of cases, showing the good resulting to the discharged convicts who had been received into the refuge, before Sir George Grey, and the result had been a promise to include a vote of 1,0001. to the institution in the Parlia men,ary estimates for 1850. The premises in the Hackney-road and lloxton had been abandoned for freehold premises at D.ilston, where, after aban doning the male part of the establishment, as far as was compatible with previous engagement., they had already provided accommodation for 40 inmatep, and hoped to increase it for 50 more, with conveniences for carrying on the washing and dressing of linen, besides sewing by means of the female inmates. At the beginning of last year, there were 78 young men, of whom, in the course of the year, 15 had been sent to Australia, 25 apprenticed, 29 sent to their friends, and 4 to sea, 3 absconded, 1 sent to his parish, and 1 placed out. In addition to the 84 young women in the house on the Ist of January, 1849, 51 had been received on their discharge feom various metropolitan and provincial prisons and bride wells. Of these inmates, 34 had been sent to service, 35 to their friends, 1 had died, l 3 died of cholera, 6 were unwilling to return, 2 absconded, and 2 were dismissed, making alto gether 95, so leaving i n th e h ouse 40 female inmates. Considering the great and happy success which had attended their labours, the committee hoped to see the institution more than ever encou raged, both by the Government and the public. They strongly recommended the formation of a sepa rate fund for the purposes of emigration. According to the statement of accounts laid before the meeting, the receipts for the year were—from donations and subscriptions, 2881.; dividends on stock, 3501.; Go vernment grant, 2,0001.; rents, and work sold, &c., 1,5761.; stock sold out, 5,465/. ; and balance in the hands of the treasurer, 7781.; making a total of 10,461/. The expenditure included 9361. for provi sions ; 243/. clothing ; emigration, &c., 607/. ; cho lera, 1861. ; trade account, 1,031/. ; DA . ston pro perty, 3,2001.; ne w b u ildi ngs , 8871.; i leaving a e ba lance of 1,0611. in favour of the institution. report was adopted, and after the other ordar y bu sinus the meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

Beware of Imitations In the Form of Pills. I'hIBItOWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGEITERATOR. If you are in want of that .beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist cr druggist, or perfumer. an 11 , . bottle of Grimstouo's Aromatic Regenerator. This. is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been leng known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is h'ghly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herblry, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, nn4er the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. • This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., Is. Bd,, or his., which in cludes the postage with the case.

Reader. reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in yoer walks, others with various coloured eye-shades; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business.' What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Zlataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimstona, bearing date 18th February, 1825. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor faintly. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped. • GIUMSTONE'S MEDICATED EYE SNUFF, sold in canisters, Inclosed In a pamphlet of medical and other testimonials, under the Government order, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 45. 6d. each.

DEATH ut BY FE.—A festa l and acci dent occurred last evening in Baker's-road, H ampstea d , to a cripple aged 70, of the name of Nash, who had been for three years in such a helpless condition as ren dered her incapable of taking care of herself, and who had been advised to go into the workhouse, which she obstinately refused. Last evening, while sitting' by the fire in a room (her only apartment), the sleeve of her dress caught in a blaze from her falling against the bars of the grate, and before any assistance arrived she was so frightfully burnt that she expired after a few hours in the most excruciating agonies. It was most providential that the fire was discovered by a neighbour passing at the time,who, smelling it, feared it might proceed from the room of the old woman, and, after calling assistance, and the door being burst open, frond her lying in the fire-place so frightfully burnt as sc3Toely to he reoeg nized. p. 380, THE COUNTRY MARKET;,, NEWCASTLE, JAN. 29.—Farmers brought in this merr ing a f.ir supply of wheat.

A POLITIC; IL it CLIC.--W e have seen a curious copper medal which wa s recently band in the railway cutting at Tackley.

On the reverse of the medal are the figures of Sir Robert Walpole and Admiral Vernon, political opponents, with a ship in the distance, and a sail - ell:led crown above, This probably has rderence to the taking of Porto Bello. The Admiral, jeering Sir Robert, said he could take the place with six ship. Sir Robert took him at his word, and dispatched him with that number, and with very few troops, we think less than 300. The :slant Admiral kept his word, and reduced the place. The legend on this side is not to be deciphered, except ing the word " Vernon." —Banbury Guardian. SOMVIIIING 'STEW IN GAS MASING.—We are in formed that a Mr. Wilkinson, Of Grimetthorpe near Sheffield, has in ven t e d a gas-making apparatus, that will produce 9;000 cubic f. et of gas from one ton of coals, and is 80 constructed that any steady labourer may ma nage it with as little trouble as trimming the oil-lamps required to give the same amount of light.

JosEra HonEs AND JAMES HERBERT, FOR 251 ASIDE.—One of the most remarkable and spiritedly contested •encounters of late years was brought to issue on Tuesday, on the well-known tilting -ground, Woking-common. The men's previous performances were limited ; the one (Hoiles) to a single public dis play, the other (llerbert) to a couple of fistic tour nays with Adams ; the first a draw (wherein Herbert was thought to have best), and the second a victory. In the sparring -schools, and at various glove-saloons, both were highly esteemed, and hence the interest attached to 'their maiden essay, which brought a crowded gathering from bath east and south ends, Ilerlwrt being patronised from the oriental quar ter, whilst Hoiles claimed the suffrages of the Borough lals. East and James Welsh waited on Holies; J. Gill and Brown on Herbert. Tne style of Hoiles, who, though lighter at the scale, had length and reac h, was astonishing for its quickness, activity, anti readiness in every position and: emer gency. In the first four rounds he led off on Her bert's face, but not without getting from the little Hercules opposed to him one or two fearful half-arm hits on the close. lu-fighting, however, or out, Hodes was always busy, and seemed not to have re ceived his nick-name of " Tne Spider" without rea son, for his claws (clutched 'tis true) and his feet were here, there, and everywhere that could be an noying. Herbert, about the middle of the battle, got home strongly with his right on Hoiles's body, and seemed for a moment to justify the 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 which had been laid on him; but a change came again —the Spider had him in his clutch, and threw him repeatedly. His vision, too, was interfered with by the continual pops, many of them heavy ones, which his opponent lent him ; and after struggling two hours and fifteen minutes, against hope and every chance, in the 100th round, his seconds interfered, and " The Spider" was hailed as victor. BRUNTON AND DUFFTN.—These men contended for 101. aside in the same ring. Brunton is known by his defeat of Hussey ; his opponent has a local reputation about the City Canal. They fought 43 rounds in 46 minutes, during which Brunton exhi bited the possession of a considerable amount of science, and a perfect knowledge of the straight use of his left hand, while his hardy looking adversary displayed no other capability of stopping a hit than by presenting his head ; a plan, the result of which is never long in doubt: and, accordingly, down went Mr. Duffyn for the last time, and up went the sponge for the first, at the close of the time abovementioned. ASSAULT OF Aams.—Yesterday evening the mem bers of the fencing class of the Whittington Club gave a grand assaut d'armcs at the rooms of the club. The combatants were Messrs. Law, Cotton, Latham, Hooper, Lusignan, Pearce, Fennings, Montagu, and Marshall. The assaults were principally with foils, in which the various exhibit: - tuts displayed much dexterity and grace. Mr. Lusignan and Mr. Hooper had a bout at single stick, in which each gave some very clever hits. Mr. Fennings and Mr. Montagu fought with the sabre, and in a very long and well-contested match, showed some beautiful strokes. At the close, Mr. Shury, the profes sor of fencing to the class, exhibited scverAl very clever feats with the sabre, of the Saladin and Richard cha racter, such as cleaving a bar of lead, dividing a leg of e s i a l c k h h o a f n d t b k e ef e c chi e a f t , s a w n d as mcuttingost cleverly through a p m e fu rf ta o tto r h m net e rs d ec , uv a es n rh d iinogna wer e loudly applauded. The large room was crowded. AN INVERNESS SEAMAN.—We observe from the American papers thst a fine American ship, the Charles ton, from New York for Savannah, was destroyed by fire at sea in the end of September last. Captain Mor rison seems to have behaved on the trying occasion pith great pros: nce of mind, prudence, and courage, and by his exertions the crew and passengers were bayed. The latter, thirteen in number, drew up and published the following resolution:—" That our lasting and heartfelt gratitude is due to Captain Morrison f,r the anxious at tention shown to us, and for the coolness and intrepidity displayed by him during those hours of trial; and to his officers and crew for their daring exertions on our behalf." This testimony must have been highly gratifying to him, es it is to his friends here; and for ourselves we are vary l'appy to hear, in this honourable way, of an old friend, Captain Morrison having served for some time as a printer in this office seventeen or eighteen ye!l t ra ego. e Many changes have passed in the long i ; l r "rva tt i e 14th 11 iii-fAted CO: rieston gaited front N of St•p'ewber - ti suffering severe She experienced violent gales, the the mate's watch, i, juries, up till the 21st, wh-"t hold.

Prepa rations were made to send the passengers on beard the brig. At three P.M., succeeded in getting t'-e 1 aisen gers on board the brig; the officers and crew remaining until 7 Pal , when they could not stand the smoke. The fire made its appearance through the decks before the captain and crew left. The wind was blowing hard and weather squally, and it was with much difficulty they got on board the brig about 8 o'clock P.M., by wh•eh time the ship was in flames fore and aft."—lnver ness Courier. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANT.—It Will be recollected that in November last the Electric Tele graph Camrany, through the A ttorney-Gcneral, ap plied to the Court of Queen's Bench for liberty to file 'a criminal information against Messrs. Willwer and Smith, of Liverpool, for an alleged libel, published in the Morniag Herald on the 11th cf . October last. The ap • f conditional order was then granted, at d the hearing of the case was, we s urid:lbtand, fixed for yesterday. After the disposal of a t w casea in that court, however, an appl'eatton was made by the Attor ney-General for an enlargement cf tl - c rule to next term, in order to enable him to examine the mass of evidence produced by the defendants. The application wai not opposed by the defendants' counsel, Sir F. Thesiger, !ting of the Tate tt the Princess's Tl•street, for the __pply wat and propriety o f supporting the Watford Company. the Alderman Sir Peter Laurie presided ; and on the platform were observed Mr. Chicheley Plowden, M.P., Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. Walpole Eyre, Major Moore, M r . Ch apman, Mr. W. Williams (late M.P. for Coventry), Mr. John Blake Kirby, Mr. Peter Lauri', and other county magistrates. Nearly the whole of the members of the Marylebone vestry, and about 1,500 people were present. ant i h lae e tdu e r n a g to. i f n g e th e re r eapt o l f alne the Wat ford:l)lr N oSj c Cc tiplLly explained Pt e s u n At d bm e e t evils to which the parish of Marylebone was Bu . n t l e th et t e h d e , i A 4 I and moved a resolution to the effect "That the pre sent supply cf water to the parish w as i mpure i n quality, deficient in quantity, inconvenient in its dis tribution, and exorbitant in its cost." Mr. Fay seconded the resolution, and it was carried nen? con. Mr. PLOWDEN, M.P., moved the second resolution : " That having heard an accredited statement of the of and proposition of th e L-indon (Watford) Spring Water Company, this meeting is of opinion that the establishment of such company is calculated to remedy the Existing evil, and entitled to public corifid, , ece and support." Mr. CHAPMAN, a county magistrate ; seconded the motion ; on which Mr. Wm), ALP., called upon the meeting to re fuse to sanction any scheme of water supply, unless that scheme gave the power of local and Farochial control over tlle expenditure and management of - tine distribution of the water.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. KENSETT denounced the proposition of the Ilon. Member for 13odmin as chimerical, and said he wanted to see a sort of universal suffrage with regard to water, by the ratepayers taking the shares them celves.—(Oh, oh, luid great uproar.) "Air. AMBROSE Mooar, one of the directors of the compaar, rose to reply to the observation of MO. Wyli. He candidly admitted that the company did • slot intend to admit the principal of parochial repre sentation at their hoard , and in answer to a question put by a ratepa3er as to the price to he charged for the water, he referred to the Bill, which showed that, whilst a house rated at 20/. per year was to pay 20?. per year, or 5 per cent.; the house rated above 1001. p e r year was only to pay 2f per cent. This declaration was the signal for the most des perate uproar and groaning on the part of the mee ti ng. Mr.W. WILLIAMS denounced the Bill, which would tax the poor man 5 per cent. while it let the rich man off for 2i per cent. upon his water.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. MOORE again attempted to address the mectizig, but they would not hear a single word.
