HIGH TIDE IN THE THAMES.---The continuaoc:
of the strong wind from the north-east has driven slze-
a large body of water up the Thames that several of the
low-lying wharfs and landing-places and other watersiad°
promises, particularly on the south side of the river, 0
at Shadwell and Limehouse on the north, have be/
flooded. This influx of water seldom occurs at
n 11-
moon spring tides ; but is generally expected on the fut
moon springs, should the wind be in the same quarter °

lates, in a letterdatedMay 28, the means which he emPle
to save the life of a girl, 10 years old, that had been blit
by a venomous snake :—" In the space of 10 minutes," jja°,
says, "she lost the power of speech, her eyes became woo
shot, and she was in a state of fearful and coutitulhea
e
convulsions. Perceiving the dangerous state in which 90-e
was I immediately took a small lump of alum, &bout "50
size of a pigeon's egg, dissolved the whole in a large
of water, and at once made her drink it off. In a ferf t"-Ir
nutes she began to be very sick, throwing up much n'e't r•
from her stomach, when f again made her drink aluus-vi`%3o

This went about au hour and a half, during which t,1,0
she must have consumed alum of about the size of a elm
egg, dissolved in two large bottles of water, the drailge,•
being administered at short intervals after each vx.oitiliv e-

At the end of the timo mentioned tha girl began to

cover; and, within two hours' time, was able to stltv fief
by herself, and again gained the use of her voice. 10
this I made her walk abodt a great deal, and now she
