CAMBRIDGE AND HUNTS.

For several days during the late thaw the water in the river at Wisbech rose without intermission an inch a minute, till the river was eight feet higher than its ordinary level.

The waters of the river Witham have broken the banks in many places, and flooded all the lands west of Lincoln, towards Gainsborough; the strength of the current was so great as to carry away Boultham bridge, erected last year. The damage will be very great, both as to the banks and on the lands, many thousand acres being inundated.

Dr. Smith's two annual prizes were this year adjudged to Mr. Richard Gwatkin and Mr. Henry Wilkinson, of St. John's College, the first and second wranglers.

A patent has been recently granted for a machine to facilitate the operations of printing. Its objects are-precision and speed. It performs by its own action the several parts of furnishing, distributing, and communicating the ink, and giving the pressure. At its ordinary rate sixteen sheets a minute are discharged by it, and indeed its velocity is only limited by the power of placing and removing the sheet. The machine has been exhibited to the Syndics of the Press at Cambridge, and has been examined by the principal members of that University; and on receiving the report of their deputation, the Syndicate agreed with Messrs. Bacon and Donkin of Norwich, the patentées, for its introduction at the office of the University."

NORFOLK,

The breach on the Ten-mile Bank, in the parish of Fordham, which lately alarmed the inhabitants of the whole district of fens called the Bedford Level, consisting of up.

5

wards of 40,000 acres, was, after near a fortnight's exertion of many,and expences to the amount of several thousand pounds, stopped on Sunday the 20th ult. Several thousand acres of growing wheat are now under water, caused by the same, and must inevitably perish; and it is much to be feared the farmers there will not be able to get their lands ready for spring corn.
