The cant quarters should have a rough diggmg , if time permits ; if not they should fS over clean , and dusted over with hot lime to kill what stags are found ' , the surface . Cabbage plants may yet be planted on well trenched , rich land d the true Bath Cos and hardy Hammersmith Lettuce should be planted out in warm situation to come in early .

      The Gale of Tuesday . —On Tuesday morning , at half-flood , in consequence of the wind ( then blowing a strong gale from the southwest ) suddenly backing round to the eastward , the springtide , which tad been much retarded for the last few days , rashed up the Thames with great violence , causing considerable damage , and creating an immensity of confusion amongst the shipping in the various reaches * , and in the lower pool very few of the vessels could hold on , dragging their anchors , and coming athwart hawse , by which spars , bulwarks , and rigging were carried away . Several vessels were obliged to let go second anchors to bring them up . Fortunately the wind did not remain long in that quarter , else the damage must have been

      immense , m consequence of the terrific rapidity with which the current rushed up ; nevertheless , a very great amount of injury was sustained by market gardeners and others , whose properties are near the ¦ wat erside . Owing to a great number of the sluices being improperly secured , the water made its way through , and overflowed the grounds . The wharfs and water-side premises on the Surrey ^ eof Ae river were inundated . Several cellars were completely iilled with water , which had to be pumped out ; and in sbme instances

      it was several inches above the ground floors . Vessels that arrived on Tuesday represent the marshes on the Kent and Essex sides of the river . as having the appearance of vast lakes . At high ^ vater the wind veered round again to the W . S . W ., thus precluding Jne possibility of any great flow of water on the ensuing tide , the Jand floods , owing to the large quantity of rain that has fallen , are wore rapid on the ebb tide than has been known for some time , . o large hrigs are reported to be on shore on the Gunfleet Sand , « lmie probability of getting off .
