ALARMING HIGH TIDE. —Yesterday afternoon, between
three and four o'clock, the waters of the Thames rose to
an unusual height, overflowing the banks and inundating
the low-lying places on either shore, In Cannon-row,
Westminster, and Parliament-street the basements of the
houses were flooded, the roadway in the former street
being under water. In the Horseferry-road, Westmin-
ster, and the lower part of Millbauk the public thorough-
fares were all under water, and boats plied through the
streets for the conveyance of passengers The Temple-
gardens, Hungerford-market, the Adelphi-wharf, and all
the landing-stairs along the north shore were corn pletely
under water, and extra accommodation was required at
the steam-boat piers to land and embark passengers. At
Shadwell, Limehouse, anti Wapping the water penetrated
into the granaries, warehouses, and the dwellings of the
poor living near the waterside, occasioning great damage.
On the south shore the damage occasioned by the inun-
dation was most extensive. Bishop's-walk, Lambeth, and
the open space in front of Lamb( th Palace was a sheet
of water. The tide, rushing rapidly down the narrow
thoroughfares of Fore-street and the adjacent courts and
alleys, poured into the houses on either side, setting the
furniture and bedding afloat, the affrighted inmates
taking refuge in the upper floors. In Stangate, Vaux-
hall, Bermondsey, and Rotberhithe the unexpected flood
has done an incalculable amount of mischief, and the
poor will be great sufferers. The Battersea and Wands-
worth marshes, as also those of Kent and Essex, were
one vast sheet of water. About half-past four the water
began to subside, and about five o'clock the thorough-
fares became passable, the Thames flowing in its usual
course ; the water that had penetrated the houses still,
however, remained to be baled out. The river Lea was
also flooded, inundating the adjoining land and the
Hackney marshes. The Fleet sewer also overflowed, in-
undating the houses on Brook-hill, Saffron-hill, and
Clerkenwell-green. During the flood a heavily laden
coal barge ran against the second pier of Blackfriars-
bridge, from the Middlesex shore, and was cut com-
pletely in two ; the men saved themselves by swimming.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] Sight and Hearing Ex-
Extraordinary Powerful Munich German Glass Tel-
escopes, &c.—The Royal Exhibition, 1851-39, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly. Observe opposite the York
Hotel. The Royal Exhibition. - A valuable, newly-
invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and known one mile and a half distant ; they
answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera
houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Tlescopes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3 inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind fer the waistcoat-pocket.
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles
distant. Deafness—New Discovery—The Organic Vi-
brator, an extraordinary powerful and newly-invented
instrument, for Deafness, entirely different from all
others; to surpass anything of the kind that has been,
or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the
same colour as the akin, it is not perceptible ; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly. Observe. opposite the York Hotel.
