THE MGT! TIDE OF TUESDAY.
The high tide of Tuesday has caused much damage
along the whole range of the eastern coast of the
island.. Scarcely a port has escaped being flooded.
On the Essex side of the Thames the fishing villages
and marsh lands were swamped, as well as a large
portion of the inland country, where the effect of a
high tide was least expected.
The tide rose in the Medway to-an extraordinary
height, and for more than an hour previous to the
time of high water the river in many parts over-
flowed its banks, and by the weight of water broke
doWn the land-walls by which it is usally kept within
its limits. The various wharfs in the neighbourhood
were flooded, and in the High-street of Strood a boat
plied for the conveyance of passengers, many houses
being inundated to the depth of several feet. Antici-
pating a return of the visitation at night, various pre-
cautions were taken to exclude the intruder, but
fortunately without cause, as the water then only
attained the height'of an ordinary spring tide.
At Ipswich it roie•qaore than two feet above the
average spring tides. Higher. up the coast, towards
the: Great Wash, the water rushed in with great im-
petuosity. - • -
At Lynn, :the whole of the lower portion of
the town was inundated.
Boston experienced a similar iboding, 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 watftly 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 northeastern coasts
of England. _
The damage from the high tide on Tuesday, above
Vauxhall-bridge, at Nine Elms, was very great. The
approach to the pier was four or five feet under
water. The Railway Hotel and the Southampton
Arnis had five feet of water in their cellare, and Nine
Elms-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 river Eff; a burst its
boundaries and inundated every house in South Lam-
beth, almost to the Clapham-road. The road from
Nine Elms to Battersea was for some hours im-
passable, the fields being one vast expanse of water.
Ledy Wombwell's seat, Sherwood-lodge, was entered
by the tide, and great damage was done to the man-
sion and grounds. Tne 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
Watney's immense distillery did not escape the visita-
tion, and a large quantity of corn on the basement
fl )ors was much damaged. At Messrs. J. Watney
and Well's lower mill, which is fed by the Wandle,
the tide made a clear breech, 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 supplied by the parochial
authorities of Wandsworth with coal and other neces-
saries. At Putney, the tide corered the terrace, and
the towing-path was useless for many hours. Oa
the opposite side of the river, the grounds of the
Bishop of Landon were all under water, as were
those of Willow Bank, the late residence of Mr.
Delafield.

THE TEETH.--How 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 composition, to keep them in a
pure and healthy state requires some little trouble; and
if those who are blessed with well formed teeth knew
how soon decay steals into the mouth, making unsightly
what otherwise aro delightful to admire, and designating
unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they would
spare no expense to chase away these fatal blemishes.
But although most ladies are careful, and even particu-
lar in these delicate matters, yet few are sufficiently
aware of the imperative necessity of avoiding all
noxious or mineral substances of an acrid nature, and of
which the greater part of tho cheap tooth- powders of
the present day era composed. It is highly satisfactory
to point out Messrs. Rowlands' °Junto, or Pearl Dentl•
(rice, as a preparation free from all injurious elements,
an 1 emit c..tly calculated to embellish and preserve the
dental structure, to impart a grateful fragrance to, the
breath, and to embellish and perpetuate the graces cif the
ou th.—Sund rarer.

PROTECTIONIST MEETING.
RUTLAND.
OAKrtAM, JAN. 28.—This morning a public meet-
' " of all persons familiar to protection, industry,
and capital, throughout the British empire," was held
at the Castle, Oakham, for the purpose of adOpting a
petition to Parliament, for the re-imposition of a duty
on the importation of foreign produce.
J. T. Springfield, the high sheriff, occupied
the chair, and various protectionist resolutions, all
carried unanimously, were moved by Viscount Camp-
den, M.P., Mr. George Finch, Mr. Heathcote, and
Mr. Ceeethene (a tenant-farmer), and seconded by
Mr. Saull (a tenant-farmer), Mr. E. Wortley, the
Hon. G. J. Noel, M.P., and Mr. Stafford, M.P.
In proposing the fourth resolution, Mr. CIIFET-
DAM, after touching on some more general matters,
went on to say that in his leisure moments he could
not help thinking that phantoms of ruined farmers
would haunt the sleeping pillow of Sir Robert Peel.
Knowing hew much he was execrated, he really
should think he must move about in fear and dread.
--(Hear, hear) Even if Sir Robert Peel should
ever have a majority ;wain, he dared not take office. He (Mr. Cheetham) knew that if he was in Sir E.
Peel's position, he should be afraid of the poniard
and the dagger, ailed so he had a right to.—(lnterrup-
tion end cries of "No, no.") He should be sorry
to say what he did not feel, but he thought he was
justified in saying what he had, seeing what a narrow
escape Peel once hid, when lie 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, beca I:se one of them
in the House of Lords once called him a weaver's
son. Sir 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."—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. STAFFORD, M.P., on seconding the resolution,
commt--nced as follows :--I 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 wh;ch 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 urn
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, teat 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 has 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 bear an ill inter-
pretation, and not to disarm our enemies of the
weapons which they might use.—(Cheers.) After
some further observations the Han. Gentleman went on
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 change of coat
often etTected—as great a change sometimes as a turn
of the coat—(Cheers and laughter)—and hs should
not be the least surprised if Mr. Villiers was, in col-
loquial language, to "draw it very mild."—(Cheers
and laughter.) The only question was, whether the
land was to be kapt in cultivation or not ?—(Bear,
hear.) They had hitherto, with same angeniyl soil
and always an uncertain climate, carried agriculture
to such a pitch that they were not ashamed to com-
pare
it to any other country in the world. So
much 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 territorial 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 House of Commons, that
lesson over and over again, to ears however un wit-
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 Mena,!rs in their
efforts.—(CLers.)
The resolution was then carried unanimously ;
and after a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, the meeting,

IEFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE.
Toe annual general court of the governors of this
deserving charity was held on Tuesday at the London
Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, John Gurney Hoare,
Esq., in the chair. The report for the year 1849
reminded the governors of their resolution, taken on
the 31st of January last, to abandon the male de-
partment of the institution, in consequence of the
withdrawal of Government support, and stated that
on the 14th of February following, and before that
resolution could be carried into effect, the cholera broke
out in the house, seizing a large number of the in-
mates, and finally destroying thirteen of them and
two matrons. Mr. Edw. For,ter, F.R.S ,the treasurer,
in consequence of his exertions among the patients,
was infected with the disease, and carried off after a
very short illnets. To prevent further casualties, the
inmates were dispersed, some to their friends, others
to the colonies, and the rest to a temporary institu-
tion at Walworth. After the announcement made by
the Government last year, tho committee of the insti-
tution had laid a statement of cases, showing the good
resulting to the discharged convicts who had been
received into the refuge, before Sir George Grey,
and the result had been a promise to include a
vote of 1,0001. to the institution in the Parlia-
men,ary estimates for 1850. The premises in the
Hackney-road and lloxton had been abandoned
for freehold premises at D.ilston, where, after aban-
doning the male part of the establishment, as far as
was compatible with previous engagement., they had
already provided accommodation for 40 inmatep, and
hoped to increase it for 50 more, with conveniences
for carrying on the washing and dressing of linen,
besides sewing by means of the female inmates. At
the beginning of last year, there were 78 young men,
of whom, in the course of the year, 15 had been sent
to Australia, 25 apprenticed, 29 sent to their friends,
and 4 to sea, 3 absconded, 1 sent to his parish, and 1
placed out. In addition to the 84 young women in
the house on the Ist of January, 1849, 51 had been
received on their discharge feom various metropolitan
and provincial prisons and bride wells. Of these inmates,
34 had been sent to service, 35 to their friends, 1 had
died, l 3 died of cholera, 6 were unwilling to return,
2 absconded, and 2 were dismissed, making alto-
gether 95,
so leaving in the house 40 female
inmates. Considering the great and happy success
which had attended their labours, the committee
hoped to see the institution more than ever encou-
raged, both by the Government and the public.
They strongly recommended the formation of a sepa-
rate fund for the purposes of emigration. According
to the statement of accounts laid before the meeting,
the receipts for the year were—from donations and
subscriptions, 2881.; dividends on stock, 3501.; Go-
vernment grant, 2,0001.; rents, and work sold, &c.,
1,5761.; stock sold out, 5,465/. ; and balance in the
hands of the treasurer, 7781.; making a total of
10,461/. The expenditure included 9361. for provi-
sions ; 243/. clothing ; emigration, &c., 607/. ; cho-
lera, 1861. ; trade account, 1,031/. ; DA.
ston pro-
perty, 3,2001.; new buildings, 8871.;i leaving a e
ba-
lance of 1,0611. in favour of the institution.
report was adopted, and after the other ordar y
bu-
sinus the meeting concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.
