A POLITIC 4.L RELIC.--We have seen a curious
copper medal which was recently found in the railway
cutting at Tackley. It is rather larger than a' half-
crown, but thinner ; and is a caricature -of events
which occurred more 'than a century since. A con-
siderable portion of the edge is correied and decayed,
so thit the whole of the legend is not visible. On one
side is a gentleman in
,the dress of the time of George I
or 11., and with him a certain " old gentleman,"
whose immediate domain is not mentionable to "ears
rate.," the latter,
pitchfork in hanfl, is leading the
former by a halter w hich is round his neck; and the
inscription is, "I am come for Sir Robert." At the foot
are the remains of the' word "Excise." The caricature,
no doubt, refers to Sir Robert Walpole, who was
Prime Minister in the reign of George II:, and who,
about 1743, introduced the first really effective Ex'
rise laws. On the reverse of the medal are the figures
of Sir Robert Walpole and Admiral Vernon, political
opponents, with a'ship in the distance, and a suspended
crown above. 'This probably has reference to the taking
of Porto Bello. The Admiral, jeering Sir Robert, said
he could take the place with six ships. Sir Robert took
him at his word, and dispatched him with that number,
and with very few troops,we think lesi than 300. The
gallant Admiral kept his word, and reduced the place.
The legend on this side is not to be deciphered, except-
ing the word "Vernon."-L-Banbury Guardian.
SOMETHING NEW IN GAS MAHING.—Me Are in-
formed that a Mr. Wilkinson, of Grimesthorpe' near
Sheffield, has invented a gas-making apparatus, that will
produce 9,000 cubic feet of gas from one ton of coals,
and is so constructed that any steady labourer may ma-
nage it with as little trouble 33 trimming the oil-lamps
required to give the same amount of light. Mr. Wil-
kinson says, that good gas may be obtained at less than
2s. per 1,000 cubic feet.--Mining Journal.

Boston experienced a similar flooding, and a serious
damage of property is reported.
The Humber rose to 29 feet 7 inches by the. Hum-
ber dock-gates, and before high water the lower part
of the town was inundated.
Similar accounts of the disastrous effects of the tide
have been received from many other places on the
coast. The unexpected influx is attributed to the
continuance of the recent westerly gales, which
forced a great body of water up the channel into the.
North Sea, and the wind then suddenly veering 'to
the N.E. on Monday night, drove it up the nu-
merous rivers on the eastern and north-eastern coasts
of England.
The daniage from the high tide on TueSday, above
Vauxhall-bridge, at NincElms, was very great. .The
approach tO the pier Was four or five feet under
water. The Railway Hotel and the Southampton
Arms had five feet of water in their cellars, and Nine
Eltns-lane was impassable for horses or carriages.
The goods station of the South-Western Railway was
at least four feet under water, the various ware-
houses _ being all flooded.. Wandsworth.road, from
the gate at Vauxhall to Bradley-terrace, was Up to
the horses' middles, and the rivet.. Efira burst its
boundaries and inundated every house in South Lam-
beth, almost to the Clapham-read.. The road from
Nine Elms to Battersea was for some hours im-
passable, the fields being one vast expanse of water.
Lady Wombwell's seat, Sherwood-lodge, was entered
by the tide, and great damage was done to the man-
sion and grounds. The palings bounding some fields
opposite Sherwood-lodge, and through which a
watercourse passes into the river, were torn up by the
force of the torrent. At Wandsworth Mr. Daniel
‘Vatney's immense distillery did not escape the visita-
tion, and a large quantity of corn on the basement
floors was much damaged. At Messrs. J. Watney
and Well's lower mill, which is fed by the Wandle,
the tide made a clear breach, doing immense damage,
and spoiling a very large quantity of floor. : It was,
however, at :the water side, amongst the miserable
dwellings of the fishermen, and in 'Lower North.
street, that the most pitiable scenes presented them-
selves, the water, in some instances, literally reaching
to the ceiling ; and man and wife, children and pigs,
seeking refuge in the upper part of the houses. The
fires. at • the gas-house were extinguished, and the
town of Wandsworth was in total darkness all Tues.
day night. The poor people_whose houses were in-
vaded by the tide were stapplied by the parochial
authorities of Wandsworth with coal and other neces-
saries. At Putney, the tide covered the, terrace, and
the towing-path was useless for many hours: On-
the opposite side -of the river, the grouhds of the
Bishop of London were all under water, as were
those: of 'Willow:' Bank; the late . residence of .Mr.
Delafield.

THE TEETH.—liosv often do we find the human
face divine disfigured by neglecting the chiefest of its
ornaments, and the breath made disagreeable to com-
panions by non-attention to the teeth! Though perfect
in their structure and eJunposition, to keep them in a
pure and healthy state requires some little trouble; and
if those who aro blessed with well-formed teeth knew
how soon decay steals into the mouth, making unsightly
what otherwise are delightful to admire, and designating
unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they would
spare no expens.2 to chase away tl.ese fatal blemishes.
But although most ladies are cart iul, and even particu-
lar in these delicate matters, yet few are f,ufficiently
aware of the imperstile necoF.sity of avoiding all
noxious or min'ral substances of an acrid nature, and of
which the greater part of the cheap tooth-powders of
the present day aro composed. It is highly satisfacto7y
to point out Messrs. Rowlands' Odonto, or Pearl Denti-
frice, as a preparation free from all injurious elements,
ant eminently calculated to embellish and preserve the
dental structure, to impart a 'grateful fragrance to the
breath, and to embellish and perpetuate the graces of the
mouth.--r-Sunday Paper.
GRAY'S INN, JANUARY 30.—Richard Bolton
Barton, Esq., L'. A., and John Morgan, Esq., were this
day called to the 'degree of Barrister at LAW by the
Honourable Society of Gray's Inn.

OAKHAM, JAN. 28.—'Phis morning a public meet-
ing "of all persons familiar to protection, industry,
and capital, throughout the British empire," was held
at the Castl,, Oakhatn' for the purpose of adopting a
petition to Parliament, far the re-imposition of a duty
on the importation of foreign produce.
J. T. Springfidd, the high sheriff, occupied
the chair, and various protectionist resolutions, all
carried uranitnously, were moved by Viscount Camp-
den, M.P., M•. George Finch, Mr. Heathcote, and
Mr. C teethatn (a tenant-farmer), and seconded by
Mr. S;ml (a tenant-`'armor), Mr. E. Wertlev, the
1.1.:o. G. J. Not 1, M.P., and Air. Stafford, M.P.
In proposing the fourth resolution, Mr. CHEET-
IIAM, ef.:er touching on some more general matters,
went on to nay that in his leisure inmo-nts he could
not help thi:dling that phantoms of ruined farmers
would haunt the sleeping pillow of Sir R )bert Peel.
hlw much he was execrated, he really
should think he must move about in' fear and dread.
—(ll,ar, hear) Even if Sir Robert Peel should
ever have a majority again, he dared not take office.
Ile (Mr. Cheetham) knew that if he was in Sir R.
Peel's position, he should be afraid of the poniard
thoughbte
he sorry
was
and the dagger, and so he had a right to.—(lnterrup-
ttoionsaayndwch
raitesheofdil nNoo't nfeel",
)He should
but he
justified in saying what he had, seeing what a narrow
escape Peel once had, when he was not so much
execrated as he was now.—(Disapprobation.) He
believed that Cobden and Peel were travelling the
same road. Peel, he was informed, had a strong
grudge against the aristocracy, because one of them
in the House of Lords once called him a weaver's
eon., Sr, R. Peel's son need not'be afraid of being
called 'a weaver's son or a weaver's grandson, but he
would be called " the traitor's son."7-(Elear, hear.)
Mr. STAFFORD, M.P., on seconding the resolution,
commenced as follows begin by saying to Mr.
Cheetham, not that I disagree with him, but strongly
with the interpretation which perhaps our enemies
may. put . upon some of the words which he has
spoken.—(Cheers.) It will be uppermost in your
minds at
.once to feel that I allude to that part
Of his speech in which reference was made to
one high in office formerly; who entered office
on our •, shoulders, and who then did nothing
more nor less than betray us.—(Cheers.) But I am
sure Mr. Cheetham never meant to say, and I am sure
the farmers of my native county never would respond
to him if he did, that there 'should ever be any wea-
pons used against that or any other individual than
those which the farmers of England always have used
upon similar occasions, namely, the weapons of full,
fair, and free discussion, and open -criticism on the
public conduct of public men.—(Loud cheers.) I
remember to have been in the House of Commons
when that dreadful event to which Mr. Cheat-
ham hag referred took place in the open street
in the broad day. I remember, too, how great was
the horror of that flagitious deed felt not only by
his private friends, but I am sure shared in common
by every Englishman of whatever politics or class.
—(Loud and prolonged cheers.) It Would ill become
us to pass over words which might berir.an ill inter-
pretation, and not to disarm our enemies of the
weapons which they might use.—(Cheers.) After
some further observations the Hon. Gentleman wanton
to say that the Government had given a -pretty plain in-
timation of the course they intended to pursue, by se-
lecting Mr. Villiers to move the address. However,
though he had often heard Mr. Villiers speak in plain
clothes, he had never yet heard him in a court
dress, and it was astonishing what a,ehange of coat
often effected—as great a change sometimes as a turn
of the ceat(Cheers and laughter)-,-and he should
not be
.the
,least surprised if Mr. was, in col-
loquial language, to "draw it very iff!ild."—(Cheers
and latightei,) The only qUestion was, wbether the
land -was to be kept in 'cultivation` 'mot?(Hear,
hear.) They, had hithert ungenial soil
acid always an uncertain ~.carried agriculture
to such a:pitch that thl-Veere not ashamed to com-
pare it •to Amy other, country in the world. So
tnOch for „their agriculture. Politically, we had
so fashioned, so modified, so reformed our constitu-
tion, that surrounding nations, when they would
wish to lay the foundation of their own prosperity,
thought they never could do better than follow the
path which we had traced out; and, as. with the
plough, so__ with. our political.' position—where the

plough had been, there the plough should go ; and
where our territo ial interests had been powerful,
they should be powerful still ; and they would
not consent to abandon their lands to barrenness,
or their interests to those who would destroy
them.—(Cheers.) And as in surrounding districts,
so in the county of Rutland, they wished their Mem-
bers to pronounce, in the "louse of Commons, that
lesson over and over again, to ears however un wil-
ling; and he assured them that no endeavour should
be wanting on his part to further the prayer of their
petition, and to back up their Memb:ra in their
efforts.—(Cheers .)
Tne resolution was then carried unanimously ;
and after a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, the meeting,
which was said to be the largest that had been held
in Rutlandshire for many years, separated.
