DISAPPEARING ENGLAND.
In the not inappropriately nam:-d parish of Trimingham, in Norfolk, which has already suffered much from erosion, heavy falls of cliff have taken place, and further destruction appears only too probable. It is sad to hear oi land thus slipping into the sea, for it was only recently that the loss of many hundreds of acres in Essex was re ported. The only consolation is that at the present rate it will take England a long time to disappear. Moreover, at Rye, in Sussex, and elsewhere, the sea has notably receded, giving up quite a large area of land as if by way of compensation for losses on the east coast, and even on the Wash, land over which the tide swept in King John ’s Day, with disastrous results to that monarch’s baggage train, is now far from the sea, and has a railway running over it.
