FLOODS IN ENGLAND RIVERS SUBSIDING EASING HARDSHIPS (British Official Wireless.) BUGBY, sth January. Many rivers which have overflown their bauks are now subsiding, and yesterday there was a marked fall in the levels of the rivers Ouse, Nene, Wey, and Lea, with an easing of the hardships of tho residents in, the towns along their banks. The situation in many parts is, however, still serious. In the valley of tho Thames tho crest of the floods has riot yet reached the lower areas, and a wide expanse under water was further extended last night. Near tho source of the river, however, the levels havo fallen, and unless there is a further heavy thaw in tho Cotswolds, or heavy rains are experienced, a continued improvement may now be looked ' for. Between- Beading and Maidenhead tho width of the Thames varies from 200 yds to at least two miles in some of the lower reaches.
