TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sxa,—The protest (of which the above is a fac-
simile) with the signatures of the above sixteen rate-
payers, was delivered this afternoon at the Sewers'
Office in a sealed envelope, addressed to " the Honour-
able the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers."
The Chairman publicly engaged that a previous
notice should be sent to each ratepayer, fixing the day
and hour of distraint; and he also gave parties until
January to make payment.
I am, Sir, your very obedient servant,
RICHARD DOVER.

EXTRAORDINARY LOP► TIDE AND
STOR YESTERDAY MORNING.

Between nine end eleven o'clock yesterday morning,
the river was almost impassible for steam•boats between
Chelsea and Woolwich, owing to the extreme lowness of
the tide. Many of the steamers stuck fsst in attempting
to reach and leave the various piers. The nine o'clock
boat from Woolwich stuck fast in the mud about thirty
yards from the pier, and nearly half an hour was occu-
pied in extricating it. At the Tunnel Pier it shared the
came fate, and did not reach London-bridge until near
half-past ten, thereby putting many of the passengers
to great inconvenience. The Citizen boats were unable
to reach the Lambeth and Nine Elm Piers until past te❑
o'clock, owing to the lowness of the tide. One of the
boats, which left Nine Elms at half-past ten in the
morning, gut aground near the third arch of Vauxhall-
bridge, on the Surrey side, and was for several
minutes in imminent danger of being smashed against
the piers of the bridge. Fortunately, by the active
exertions of the captain and his crew, the vessel was
released, but after leaving Lambeth pier, the boat ran
aground again, and was detained nearly a quarter of an
hour. The passengers, mostly Government and other
clerks, did not reach their destination i❑ some places
until, near twelve o'clock. So low was the tide on the
east aide of Waterloo-bridge, that a person could walk
across very easily. The cause of this extreme low tide
originated from a heavy storm which took place yester-
day morning between the hours of two and five o'clock.
The wind blew a perfect hurricane from north-west,
driving many vessels from their moorings, and the tide
running out at the time did considerable damage. At
Fulham and Wandsworth most of the market gardeners
have lost considerable property by the high wind and
rain.. A great quantity of wood got adrift below bridge,
and floated out with the tide.

INTERIOR of the GREAT EXHIBITION.
prawn by Telbin and Absolon. Messrs. Lloyd,

Brothers,-and Company.
It is idle to congratulate ourselves on having come
to the last of the Crystal Palace. No sooner have
we welcomed another picture of the interior or the
exterior, as the case may be, than, like the phantom
kings in Macbeth, another and another yet succeeds.
We are almost fain to acknowledge ourselves ex-
hausted. The same identical transept, the same per-
petual nave, that everlasting crystal fountain, and
that eternal Kiss's Amazon—throng in upon us with
a❑ awful and preternatural pertinacity until we are
almost overwhelmed with feelings of wearisomeness.
It is earnestly to be hoped that the excellence at
length arrived at in the delineation of the " Interior
of the Great Exhibition," by the Messrs. Telbin
and Absolon, will deter any other artists from adven-
turing upon the same beaten track, and that we
may be spared further engravings of the like kind,
now that the public have been enabled to welcome
the present fruit of the enterprise of the Messrs.
Lloyd, Brothers, and Company. As a reminder in
reference to the abilities of the former gentlemen, it
may be observed, that to their brushes we were
indebted for the very clear delineation of the overland
mail diorama. They have here portrayed,' for the
nine hundred and ninety-ninth time—or very nearly
—the inside of the building contrived by the ingenuity
of Fox and Paxton. In colouring also they have
emulated the skill shown by Owen Jones
i❑ regard to the original. We acknowledge ourselves
to be yet again satil-tid and even gratified. Let that
be enough. There is just a possibility that we may
have too much of a good thing, even though that good
thing be the Exhibition.
