ALMSIIOUSES Pon PRINTERS.—We are gratified to
learn that the executors of the late Praed, Esq., have
devoted the sum of 501., from a large sum left by this
benevolent individual for charitable purposes, to the
objects contemplated by the originators of this institu-
tion. We are also informed that the committee enter-
tain the most sanguine expectation of being in a position
to lay the foundation-stone of the asylum in a few
months; and we can but wish them success in so praise-
worthy a design as securing a home for the declining
days of their aged fellow-workmen.
RISE OF THE THA7SIES.—I have noticed, for nearly
half a century, the gradual and regular rise of the waters
of the river Thames. My attention was first drawn to it
by finding that extreme high tides were not preceded,
nor succeeded, by similar tides. These were recorded
by the watermen of the Westminster Horselerry, by
notches cut by them on a post there, ere the post was re
moved when the street was raised. I now observe, that
professional men in reporting on some localities, such as
Westminster, say that the sewers there were originally
too low. But it appears that the said sewers were high
enough when they were first made, but are not so now,
owing to the rise of the river. It appears that lam the
first person who has noticed a circumstance so univer-
sally, continuously evident. The architects of modern,
as well as ancient buildings, were not aware of it, as will
be too plainly seen by referring to the floor of West-
minster Hall, the upper line of the starlings of old
London- bridge, the gate of Lambeth Palace, the York
Water. gate, Adelphi, the level of the wharfs there, &c.
The ground line or plinth of the palatial houses of Par-
liament is already below the level of extreme high tides.
The difference of the rise of the highest tide before the
Parliament Houses were burnt down, to the last highest
tide, viz,, in December, 1845, is but ten inches. The
preceding highest tide was in October, 1841. These
two tides were very carefully noticed at the "Fox under
the Hill," Adelphi, the people there being up at the late
hours both these tides occurred at ; the difference was
exactly one inch ; the lines of elevation are painted in
the tap-room there.-.-Correspondent of the Budder.
