The entire rep•iir of the different banks which
were broken by the great tide. we understood will
cost a prodigious sum, and will fall heavily, not,
merely upon the contiguous parishes, which ordi-
narily have been charged with the rep irition of
sewers, lint upon all the towns in the lei el of the
fens. It seems to us, that the calamity has been of
so extensive and ruinous a nature, that an -upplicae
lion to Parliament for a snrn to be applied to the
relief of the district might reasonably be made.

We were tiMenformed last week with respect to
a boy, who, with Captain Massano. was envirotied
by the water at Frampton, basing perished. Capt.
Massaro believed that the boy V.J. drowned ; but it
seems that he floated and wailed to a house in the
parish which had been deserted by its frightened
tenants, and where, after some time, be succeeded
in finding the pantry! The buy (who is a Swedt)
did as any body 4.ise under such circumstances
would hare done—he regaled himself with what he
found, and did nut leave the house till he thought
it quite safe to venture into the water again.
