THE FLOODS.

So great a downfal of rain has net been expe-
rienced here within the last ten yemr, as on Monday
and Tuesday. In the neigbourhood of the Pottery, we
understand, the houses in those streets which lie the
lowest were flooded and the fields around the town pre-
sented, on Tuesday, sheets of water in every direction.
In various parts of the country, within fifty miles round,
the inclemency of the weather, and more particularly
the flooded stile of the land, has been and is severely
felt. Oa the banks of the Humber west of Hull,
throughout the north part of Holden eis., and upon the
Yorkshire wolds towards Milton, Driffield, Kilham, and
Weaverthorpc, the storm appears to have commenced
from five to six hours later than it did witla us. From in-

formation received on Tuesday, the greatest accumula-
tion of water was at Croxton, near Grimsby, in Lin-
coln!kre, and at Wyton, in Holdcrness, five miles
from this place, with Biton, Coniston, Ganstead, and
Swine, all within the same distance. At Wyton, the
high road was for a considerable distance covered with
water uncle deep ; Mr. Barkworth's garden was com-
pletely covered to the depth of three to six inches;
the house of Mr. Ward's gardener was inun-
dated and surrounded with water. At Biter),
four • miles from this town, horses passed through
the fi..1.1 belly deep in wa•er. About Rimswell
and Burstwiek, the fields were in places knee deep
in wa•er. Bennington Bremer, and Burton Carrs, near
Burton Pidsea, the marshes of Thorngumbahl, the lands
at Preston (five miles cast of Hull), and in fact almost
every place we can name within a few miles of the town,
were similarly circumstanced to an equal or less degree.

The variations in the barometer have been very ex-
traor&nary of late. On Wednesday afternoon, how-
' ever, and all that night it rained so excessively hard that
the marshes the next morning were (for the third time
this autumn) deeply flooded—the rain contEuing the
day through (and this morning, Friday) with a rising
glass, and cold northerly wind.—Norfca Chronicle.
OVERFLOW OF THE EXE.—From the long-continued
heavy fall of rain which has lately taken place, the
waters of the Exe became on Saturday much swollen,
and towards night had risen to a height which is but
rarely witnessed in Exeter. The water was at some
depth in the Okeliampton and Alpington road., and
the streets were also much flooded ; it, howeter, gra-
dually receded on Sunday, without causing any matariAl
damage. At Thorverton the high floods had swept away
the weir near that town, and in several places sheep
have been !est.—Plymouth Journal.
FATAL ACCIDENT DURING THE FLOOD.—A man
named Warren, a bailiff, who was in charge of the
steamer lying off 14,1er's, below the quay, was coming
en shore on Thursday morning, with two little boys,
when the boat, from the high water having greatly in-
creased the current, drifted towards Trew's Weir.
Warren got out into the water with the view of saving
himself, but was unfortunately drowned, whilst the boat
went over the weir with the boys, who escaped unhurt,
The poor fellow was only six minutes in the water before
the body was taken out and conveyed to the House of
Reception, where the usual means for recovery were
resorted to without success. An inqtlest has been held
on the body, and a verdict of " Accidental Death" ro-

TEETH.-MR. THOMAS'S NEW ME-
THOD of SUPPLYING the LOSS of TEETH,
from a single tooth to a complete set, on the PRINCIPLE of
SELF• ADHESION or capillary attraction, without springs,
clasps, or wires, and without extracting any teeth or stump.
They are more secure and firm, and WILL SUPPORT and
PRESERVE TEETH THAT ARE LOOSE, and do not
feel thick and clumsy in the mouth as those made upon the
old plan. THE TEETH ARE OF an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION; they will never decay, corrode, or become
discoloured, and WILL LOOK AS WELL AFTER TEN
YEARS' WEAR as they do the first day they are placed in
the mouth, and ARE MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE THAN
ANY TEETH EVER BEFORE USED OR IN-
VENTED. Their exaet resemblance to nature defies detection
even by the most intimate friend. Mr. Thomas continuesto
RESTORE DECAYED TEETH, however large the cavity,
and FASTENS LOOSE TEETH with his celebrated SUC-
CEDANEUM, rendering extraction unnecessary. Mr.

The continued wetness of the weather begins to
cruse serious alarm, both as regards the public 'health
and the prospects of the agriculturists. In this part of
the country we have for many weeks had almost inces-
sant rain, and at present there is no appearance of a
coming change. In this neighbourhood it has scarcely
ceased to rain during the last thirty-six hours ; e
waters are out in all directions, and there is every rea-
son to fear that they will rise higher than has been
known for many years. Yesterday afternoon, in the
Baddow-road, near Chelmsford, the water was up to
the horses girths.—Essex Standard.
INUNDATIONS IN FRANCE.—According to telegra-
phic despatches which have been received to-day, the
Rhone rose on the evening of the 25th, and swept away
the bank of Monfaucon, and, in the night, those of the
abbattoir and of St. Denis, at Beaceaire. The plain of
that town to the sel is inundated as it was last year at
the same period. The Prefect of the Gard immedi-
ately proceeded to Beaucairc. At Avignon the Rhone
rose on the 25th to six metres above the usual water-
mark. Hall' of the town is inundated. All necessary
measures of relief have been resorted to. According
to the despatches from Lyons, the Rhone was on
the 26th very high, and had overflowed its hanks.
The Saone was also very high, but a despatch of this
morning announces that to-day the Rhone has returned
to its Led, and that the rise of the Saone is no longer
a lar m ing.—Messager.
The Lyons papers contain several details of injuries
done by the rising of the Rhone, and other rivers in
that neighbourhood. The town of Bourg is said to
have suffered much ; but at Lyons no serious damage
beyond the breaking of. embankments was done up to
Tuesday. On account of the floods and bad weather
in the south of France the Marseilles mails are much
delayed on the road, and for the last two days have
not arrived in Paris till near ten in the morning.

rIAUTION.—The extraordinary demand for
ki PARR'S LIFE PILLS has induced several shopkeep-
ers, of mean and dishonest principles, to try to impose on the
incautious various counterfeits composed of the most per-
nicious ingredients, merely for the sake of reaping an extra
profit, totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which
must ensue.
Observe, that each Box of the genuine medicine has pasted
round it the Government Stamp, in which is engraved these
words, PARR'S LIFE PILLS, in white letters on a red
ground. None other can be genuine.
In no instance has this invaluable medicine failed to effect a
perfect cure where due patience and perseverance has been ex-
ercised. Read the following

disease, that many persons who had been quite hopeless of any
relief, have obtained a permanent and perfect cure. To parti-
