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 ex'raordinary height, and fur more than an hour previ R. 13 to the time of high water the river i►i many parts over flawed i's banks, and by the weight of water broke clown 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 Stroud a hmat plied for the conveyance of passengers, many houses being inundated to the depth of several fzet. 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 rose more 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 flooding, 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 westerly 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 and north -eastern 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 Arms had five feet of water in their cellars, 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 Effra 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. Lady Wombwell's seat, Sherwood-lodge, was entered by the tide, and great damage was done to the man sion and grounds. The 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 I.Vatney's immen s e di s till ery did not escape the visita tion, and a large quantity of corn on the basement floors was much damaged. At Messrs. J. Watney and Well's lower mill, which is fed by the Wandle, the tide made a clear breach, doing immense damage, and spoiling a very large quantity of flour. 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 U.‘ues• 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 covered the terrace, and the towing-path was useless for many hours. On the opposite side of the river, the grounds of the Bishop of London were all under water, as were those of Willow Bank, the late residence of Mr. Delafield. itLISON'S HISTORY OF EUROPE From the Commencement of the French Revolution In 1789 to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

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, amid sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, sigmtd by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grlmstene, bearing date 18th February, 1525.

Haswell l9s 30 A POLITICIL RELIC... ye have seen a curious copper medal which was recently found in the reams) euttin; at Tackley. It is rather larger than a ba'f crown, but thinner ; a n d is a ca-icature _of events which occurred m ore t h an a centur y since. A con. siderable, portion o f the edgeone is carroded and decayed, so that the whole of the leg side is a gentleman i n t h e dress of the t i me cf George I or IL, and with, him a certain " old gentleman," whose immediate domain is not mentionable to "ears re Ute;" the latter, pitchfork in hand, is leading the former by a halter which is round his neck; and the inscription is, "I am come for Sir Robert." At the foot aro the remains of the word " Excise." The caricature, no doubt, refers to Sir Robert Walpole, who was Prime Minister in the reign of George 11., and who, about 1743, introduced the first really effective Ex cise laws. 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 suvreaded crown above. This probably has rt ferenee to the taking of Porto Bello. The Admiral, jeering Sir Robert, said he could take the place with six shipe. Sir Robert took him at his word, and dispatched him with that number, and with very few troops, we think less than 300. The gallant Admiral kept his word, and reduced the place. The legend on thi, side is not to be deciphered, except irL', the word " Vernon." —Banbury Guardian.

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 corn- Emulous by note attention to the teeth ! Though perfect in their structure and compsition, to keep them in a pure and healthy state rcqeires some little trouble; and if those who are blessed with well -formed teeth knew how soon decay steals into the mouth, making unsightly what otherwise are 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 part'cu lar in these djetate matters, yet few are b utticiently aware of the imperative necessity of avoiding all noxious or mineral substances of an acrid nature, and of which the greater part of the cheap tooth powders of the present day arc composed. It is highly , satisfactory to point out Messrs. Rowlands' Wont°, or Pearl Denti frice, as a preparation free from all injurious elements, an I eminently calculated to embellish and preserve the dental structure, to impart a grateful fragrance to the breath, and to embellish and perpetuate the graces of the mouth.—Sunday Paper.

PROTECTIONIST MEETING. RUTLAND. OAKTIAM, JAN. 28.—This morning a public meet ing " of all persons familiar to protection; industry, and capital, throughout the British empire," was held et the Castle, °Ahem for the purpose of adopting a petition t o Parliament, the re-imposition of a duty on the importation of foreign produce. J. T. Springfield, Esq., the high sheriff, occupied the chair, and various protectionist resolutions, all carried unanimously, were moved by Viscount Camp den, M.P., M-. George Finch, Mr. lleathcote, and Mr. Cleethean (a tenant-farmer), and aecouded by Mr. Scull (a tenant-farmer), Mr. F. NVortley, the II c. G. J. Not I, M.P., and Mr. Stafford, M P. In proposing the fourth resolution, Mr. CURET ILim, after touching on some more general matters, went on to say that in his leisure moments he could not help thieking that phantoms of ruined farmers would haunt the sleeping pillow of Sir R , .bert Peel. Kno ving how much he was execrated, he really should thi n k h e must move about in fear and dread. —(Heer, hear.) Even if Sir Robert Peel should ever have a majority again, he dared not take office. He (Mr. Cheethani) knew that if he was in Sir R. Peel's position, he should be afraid of the poniard and the dagger, and so he had a right to.—(lnterrup tion and 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 had, when he 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, because 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., o n secon di ng t h e resolution, commenced 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 which 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 am 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, that 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. Cheet 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 Hon. 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 effected—as great a change sometimes as a turn of the coat—(Cheers and laughter)—and he should not be the least surprised if Mr. Villiers was, in ol loquial language, to "draw it very mild."—(Cheers and laughter-) The only question was, whetheithe land was to be kept in cultivation or not ?—(Hear, hear.) They had hitherto, with some ungenial 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 end over again, to ears however unwil 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 Meinb3ra in their efforts.—(Cheers.) Tne 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. REFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE. The 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 repo:t 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 bs 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. Forster, 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 illness. 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, the committee of the insti tution had laid a statement of cases, showing the good resulting to the discharged convicts who bad been received into the refuge, bef ire Sir George Grey, and the result had been a promise to include a vote of 1,0001 to the institution in the Parlia mentary estimates for 1850. The premises in the Hackney-road and Hoxton had been abandoned fir freehold premises at D.ll-ton, where, after abet cloning the male part of the establishmen', as far as was compatible with previous engagement., they had already provided accommodation for 40 inmates, 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 from various metropolitan and provincial prisons and bride wells. Of these inmates, 34 had been sent to service, 35 to their friends, 1 had died, 13 died of cholera, 6 were unwilling to return, 2 absconded, and 2 were dismissed, making alto gether 95, so leaving in the house 40 female inmates. Consid er i ng t h e 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 fur the purposes of emigration. According to the statement of accounts laid before the meeting, the receipts for the year were—from donations and subscriptions, 288/ ; dividends on stock, 3501.; Go vernment grant, 2,000/. ; rents, and work sold, &c., 1,576/.; stock sold out, 5,4651 ; 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/. ; Thlston pro perty, 3,200/.; new buildings, 887/.; leaving a ba lance of 1,061/. in favour of the institutipn , he report was adopted, a n d a fter the other ordinary bu ainess the meetin g c o ncluded with a vote of i thanks to the chairman.

METROPOLITAN 'WATER SUPPLY. pnlylic meeting of th e rate- On Tuesday a cro w d e d _ . , ' payers of M a ryl e b one took place at the Princess's .Concert Rooms, Cistle.'-strOt i 'Oxford street, for the purpaie of considering the supply of water, and the propriety cf supporting the IVatf.zd Company. Alderman Sir Peter Laurie presided ; and on the platform were observed Mr. Chicheley Plowden, ALP., M r . Wald, M.P., Mr. Walpole Eyre, Major alodre, Mr. Chapman, Mr. W. Williams (late M.P. for Co ven t ry ) , Mr. John Blake Kirby, M. Peter Lauri., and other county magi4tritte. Nearly the whole of the members of the Marylebone vestry, and about 1,500 people were present. Mr. S. C. Tioirensumsr, the engineer of the Wat ford project, explained the nature of the plan. Mr. blicnoLLy then detailed at great length the evils to which the parish of Marylebone was tubjecteds and moved a iesolution to the effect " That the Pit - - sent supply ef water to the parish . was impure in quality i •dficieat in quantity, inconvenient in its dis tribution, and exorbitant in its cost." Mr. FRY secoaded the resolution, and it was carried nem con. , ..Mr..PLOWDES, M.P, moved the second resolution : " That having i.eard an . accredited stptezwint of the of jest and • proposition of the Llndon (Watford) Sprieg Water Company, this meeting is cif opi n i,, n that the establishment of such company is calculated to remedy t he ex i s ti ng evil, and entitled to public confidence. and support," . _ _ Mr. CIiAPALAN;tI - county magistrate, seconded the motion; on which , Mr. iVYI.I), M.P., called upon the meeting to re- I fuse to sanction any scheme of water supply, unle ss that scheme -gave the power of local and parochial control over the expenditure and management of the distribution-of _the water.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. KENSETT denounced the proposition of the HOn. Member for Bodtnin as chimerical, and said be wanted to see a sort of universal suffrage with regard to weer, by the ratepayers taking the shares them selves.—(oh, oh, and great uproar.) Mr. AMBRoSE Moons, one of the directors of the company, rose to reply , to the observation of M i r. Wyld. He candidly admitted that the company did not intend to admit the principal of parochial repre sentation at their board, and in answer to a question put by a ratepayer as to the price to be charged for the water, he referred to the Bill, which showed that, whilst a house rated at 20/. per year was to pay 20g. per year, or 5 per cent.; the house rated above 1001. per year was only to pay 2k per cent. This declaration was the signal fur the most des perate uproar and groaning on the part of the meeting. Mr. W. WILLIAMS denounced the Bill, which would tax the poor man 5 per cent. while it let the rich matt off for 24 per cent. upon his water.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. MOORE again attempted to address the meeting, but they would not bear a single word. Mr. PATEN, the projector of the company, then came forward, and said he bad been all his life strug gling to get the people of London pure water and cheap water.—(ob, oh.) He was convinced that by his plan Marylebone alone could be supplied at 1/, per house, or save 40,000/. per year. lie did not draw this Bill, and he utterly and entirely repudiated it, and called on the meeting to do the same. After great confusion, The CHAIRMAN himself moved a resolution—" That ten gentlemen be appointed as a committee by the meeting to meet the directors of the company, and insist upon a proper adjustment of the scale of charge in the Bill, and that they adjourn to receive a report of that committee."—(Cheers.) This was ultimately assented to, and the following gentlemen were appointed as - such committee, viz , Mr. W. Williams, Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. Plowden, M.P., Mr. Nicholay, Mr. Kensett, Mr. Chapman, Mr. Soden, Mr. Glasier, Mr. Joseph, and Mr. Peter Laurie. The meeting then separated. PUGILISM. JOSEPH HOILES AND JAMES HERBERT, roil 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, %Yoking-common. The men's previous performances were limited; the one (Hoiles) to a single public dis play; the other (Herbert) 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 both east and south ends, Herbert being patronised from the oriental quar ter, whilst Hoiles claimed the suffrages of the Borough lads. East and James Welsh waited on Hoiles ; J. (4,11 and Brown on Herbert. The style of Hoiles, who, though lighter at the scale, hsd length and reach, was aitonishing fur its quickness, activity, and readiness in every position and emer gency. In the first fur rounds he led off on Iler bert'a face, but nit without getting from the little Ilercules opposed to him one or two fearful half-aria hits on the close. In-fighting, however, or out, Voiles was always busy, and set mcd not to have re ceived his nick-name of " Toe 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 Floiles's body, and seemed for a moment to justify the 7 :o4 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 one•, which his opponent lent him; and after struggling two hours and fifteen minute•, against hope and every chance, in the 100th round, his seconds interfered, and " The Spider" was hailed as victor. 13acriTon AND DurerN.—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 fJught 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 d splayed no other capability of stopping a hit than by presenting Hs head ; a plan, the result of which is never long in doubt: and, accordingly, down went Mr. Dutryn for the last time, and up n•ent the sponge for the first, at the close of the time abovementioned. ASSAULT or ARMS.—Yesterday evening the mem bers of the fencing class of the Whittington Club gave a grand assaut d'armis 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 exbihtints displayed much dexterity and g: ace. Mr. Lusignan and Mr. Hooper had a bout at single slid., in which ea-li gave some very clever hits. Mr. Fennings and Mr. Montagu fight with the sabre, and in a very long anti well contested match, shoved some beautiful strokes. At the clo,e, Mr. Shiny, tto prefer sor of rencing to the class, exhibited sever .1 very clever feats with the sabre, of the Saladin and Richard cha racter, such as cleaving a bar of b.ad, dividing a leg of mutton, severing a silk handkerchief, and cutting through a f ether cushion; each of there feats was most cleverly per wjeci. f e a r i o niee , and were loudly applauded.
