THE BURSTING OF THE HUDDLE LEVEL

SLUICE.

LYNN, WEDIMDAT.
The dam, in the attempted construction of whieb
so much valuable time has been lout, is now ab indoud,
sad the tides have swept away almost every vestige,
of the barges and their cootents which were oak
in the stream to impede the progress of the water. Au
I attempt is now being made to form • dam se
• more practicable spot, at a short distance below the site of
the sluice. Piles are being driven in to • great depth, sad
though there is yet no perceptible improvement resultseg
from this work, there is Mope that, when completed, le
will check the proper of the inundation. Two of the
three breaches in the banks of the drain have been repaired.
but the third remains, ►od all efforts to repair ta
wail the completion of the dam are utterly futile.
amount of land at present under water is varioorly
estimated from I,OOD up to 30,000 acres. Growls/
crops, of course, will be spoilt. and in some instaocas the
produce of whole farms his been destroyed, and hones
rendered untena4e. Middle Drove station, on the Hastens
Counties line, is under water, and the railway traffic be-
tween Wisbech and Lyon is still suspended. This evening,
at 5 o'clock, the tide wee coming up with great violence, aed
the morning will probably disclose • considerable additioa
to the already too exteasive damage.
