TEA.--The business of the fortnight has been small,
prices are firm, and have an upward tendency, but the small
assortment remaining is hardly sufficient to indicate a mar-
ket. The supplies next season will be large, unleEs the
movements of the rebels interrupt the trade. Shipments of
new congous will probably be made direct from Hankow to
London. Large supplies are expected there. The Canton
men have managed to secure 200 to 300 chops, which will
be sent down to Canton as usual. Sanguine expectations
are entertained of Kewkiang as a market for green teas in
future. At Foochow as much tea is expected as there was
the present season,

The shipments this season to Great Britain are expected
to be 91,000,0001 b.

THE MIDDLE LEVEL _FLOOD.

LYNN, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

The tides began to increase yesterday, and the
authorities are busily engaged in cradging the tope
of the several banks in the neighbourhood, as they
will continue to increase till next Friday or Satur-
day, when higher tides are anticipated than were
the last "springs." The statement as to the clan-,
gerous state of the Terrington banks turns out to
be correct, as workmen have been engaged strength-
ening them. All the barges have at length been
ordered from the neighbourhood of the dams that
are in course of construction. This has not been
done till after considerable damage has been done
by their being repeatedly driven from their moor-
ings and dashed against bridges and dams, &c. We
have just returned from the sluice, and found there
about two hundred mien at work. The principal
work being done is the coffer-dam, where piles about
46 feet long are being driven, commencing at both
sides of the cut. If no unlooked-for catastrophe
occurs to this work, and if the proceedings are
pushed on with alacrity, it is likely that the coffer-
dam may be completed in a fortnight or three weeks.
The earth-dam lower down the cut, and upon which
so much reliance was placed, was being constructed
by Mr. Muller, the Dutchman, and that work ham
been positively abandoned. This has been done by
the order of the engineers. Several thousand sacks
of shingle have been thrown in, but the scour carries
these away almost as easily as the earth. Mr.
Muller's dam had progressed to such an extent that
at low water there was only some five feet of water
over it. It is intended to try if stone can resist the
pewer of the tides, and two thousand tons of stone
have been ordered from Yorkshire. The new sacks
ts
holm-
are nearly all used, and another order hueds been
given for twelve thousand sacks to be suppro
mediately. Under the present arrangemen w_
ever, it is not believed that much pgress
made. An extra force of police have been embodied

SUDDEN DEATII OF THE SENIOR SURGEON AT
BARTHOLOMEW HOSPITAL.—At 3 o'clock in the afternoon
of Saturday, as the senior surgeon of St. Bartholomew's,
Mr. A. Stanley, F.R.S., was going his usual round of duty
in the establishment, attended by several of his pupils, he
suddenly staggered, and would have fallen hal not imme-
diate assistance been at hand. He was instantly attended
by the most eminent medical men in the hospital at the
time, and the utmost skill was used to aid him, but he had
been seized with apoplexy, and though nothing which could
be done was omitted, he expired peacefully within an hour
of the attack. He was surrounded in the hour of death by
several of the medical gentlemen among whom he bad,:
long laboured (nearly half a century), and by
house of the treasurer, Mr. Forster White, where haiet.
