In the Downs it has been most se werely felt. Among the many disasters that occurred a ship called the Elizabeth, M. Boynos, of Jersey, was wrecked on the main between St. Margaret's Bay and sense ni _IA several veseels, though having two chains out, were swept from their moorings, and were driven foul of others with great violence ; booms, bulwarks, &c. were carried away, and other mischief done. Upwards of a dozen ships lost their cables, spars, &c. and were nigh being driven ashore on the Goodwins. Off Dunge- ne - ss, Neva Romney, and Rye, four 'vessels, named the Laurel, of Whitby, the Thomas and Ann, from Dieppe, the Honoria, for London, and the Wiiliam, from Liver pool, were cast ashore, and probably will become total wrecks. Northward of the Thames., along the coast, off Harwich, Aldborough, Yarmouth, and Bridlington, no fewer than thirty coasting vessels were driven ashore. DUPLEX RUDDER AND SCREW-PROPELLER.—Captain E. J. Carpenter, R.N., has patented an invention in the art of propelling vessels by screw. The peculiarity is., that two screws are made use of instead of one, which greatly increases the speed, while the ship is steered by two rudders, which in an equal degree increases the con trol obtained over her. In order to obtain these results, the vessel is built on a principle different from any that has hitherto been adopted. From the stem to the mid.. ships section the keel is laid down the same as in other vessels-4 but from the midships towards the stern the keel place of this single keel, two new 'keels start from the midships. and are continued in parallel lines to the stern, the distance between them varying, of course, according to the size of the vessel. Each of these keels is fitted with a stern-post and rudder, and between the keel and the stern-post of each there is an orifice, in which the screw -works, according to the common principle. One screw propeller is placed a little -in advance of the other, so as to allow both room to work, and yet so near that, when both are in action, they constitute in fact one pro peller with double power. The two rudders are so con nected that they can be steered by one person as easily as the single rudder on the old principle, while, by a slight alteration in the machinery, one of the screws or one of the rudders can be unshipped at pleasure, and the vessel worked with one only.

Gran• A return HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO CHESTER, There is much excitement in the ancient city of Chester, and also in Bangor and the neighbourhood of the Britan nia bridge, on account of the anticipated visit of Her Majesty on the return of the Court from Scotland to Windsor. The Queen, Prince Albert, and the youthful members of the royal family will arrive at Holyrood Pa lace, in Edinburgh, from her Ml.jesty's Highland home, this evening (Tuesday). To-morrow (Wednesday) morn ing, the royal party will leave Edinburgh at Bh. 40:n. by railway for Carlisle, whence they will travel under the management of the London and North-western Railway Company, to Warrington ; and thence, by the Birken head, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction line, to Chester, where Her Majesty may be expected between two and , e o'clock to-morrow afterno-on After staying a minutes for refreshment, the Queen will proceed - by the Chester and Holyhead Railway to Bangor, and remain for the night at the Penrhyn Arms Hotel, in that city, where an extensive range of apartments has been engaged for the royal family and suite. It is expected that, on Thurs day morning, Her Majesty will take an excursion to the Britannia Tubular Bridge, and will then return to Chester, or, more properly speaking, to the Saltney Junction, where the directors of the Shrewsbury and Chester Rail way will have the honour of receiving the royal party, for the purpdse of conducting the illustrious visitors along their picturesque line to Shrewsbury ; thence the carriages will proceed by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Rail way to Wolverhampton, where the London and North western Company will again " do suit and service" by con veying the royal train to Birmingham ; and there the direc tors of the latter company will "no doubt avail themselves of so auspicious an opportunity to open that expensive but convenient junction-road the " Birmingham extension line," which will thus enable the Queen to step from the royal carriage on the narrow gauge line at Camp-hill to the Great Western saloon on the broad gauge, without the discomfort, as must otherwise be the case, of driving from the New-street Station, in Birmingham, to Snow-hill— the terminus in that town of the Birmingham and Oxford Railway. Under any circumstances, however, the Great Western Company will have the honour of conducting her Majesty from Birmingham to Windsor along their new route from the midland districts to the metropolis ; so that this propitious excursion will prove a really " royal advertisement" for the line which was opened a few days . , since, and for the Shrewsbury alliance with th e Great Western.

Such a kingly progress had surely never been seen before, unless Alexander the Great may have relieved the monotony of conquering by making occasional natural history excursions with his kluunua occasio lontenegrinF, on ordinary y troubl some, and by no means trustworthy people—folks who still keep many of the worst habits of the old Scottish Highlanders —were mystified into tran quillity by the peculiar proceedings of their royal visitor and his noble attendants. Resolved, however, to render due honour to so distinguished and unusual a guest, they furnished a guard of state to accompany him in all his peregrinations ; and, whenever his botanical Majesty stooped to gather a new or rare specimen, the soldiers halted, and, with much ceremony, presented arms. —TVestininsier Review.

In the week ending Saturday 202 deaths were registered, being 20 less thanin the previous week, 72 less than in the weekly average of August, and less than in any week of the preceding four months. in the parish the deaths were 143, and in the extra-parochial wards, 50, Bowel complaints continue to decrease in prevalence, having last week caused only 20 deaths against 30 in the week previous ; while in September they caused a weekly average of - 50 deaths, and in August of 81. Only one death was registered from measles, the weekly mor tality having never been below 5 during the seven months preceding. From scarlatina there wereas deaths, typhus 10. small-pox 1, and erysipelas, 1. Diseases of the lungs caused 46 deaths, of which 19 of them were from con sumption. Of the total number of deaths there were below fifteen years of age, 158 ; fifteen to sixty, 44 ; sixty to ninety, 20.—Mr. Bigham called attention :to the state of North John-street; the pavement, he said, had been taken up twenty times within the last two years, to the loss and inconvenience of the occupants of property there. —Mr. Newlands stated it was not the health committee who had disturbed the street, but the gas company and the water-committee, the latter of whom had .removed three lines of pipes from it.—A resolution was adopted, at Mr. 'Newlands suggestion, requesting the engineers of those two bodies to communicate with Mr. Newlands at certain intervals, so that certain work Might go on simul taneously with only ono breaking up of a street.—A me morial was read from the inhabitants, csning attention to the filthy and unwholesome state of Cleveland-street, Ofton-street, and Fairview-place, Toxteth-park, with other streets to. he eastward of Miles-street, which were either ill paved or unpaved.

CAUTION TO Skip-MASTERS.—An important case arising out of a claim for seamen's wages was decided on Wednesday, at the Police-court, before Messrs. E. Evans and R. Benn, In December last, Capt. M'Bride, of the ship Tory (the property of Mr. Duncan Gibb, of this town), jumped overboard whilst the ship was proceedinw on a round voyage from San Francisco to Bombay. He was rescued, but afterwards died. The first mate, conse quently, took the command ; and the present claim for wages, of 63 dols. and 4 cents, was now made against the owner, Mr. Gibb, on an order, or bill of exchange drawn upon him, in f avo u r o f one o f the seamen name Hugh Roberts, signed at Penang by the mate, then in com mand, and backed by the signatures of two Penang ma- gistrates. It nppeared from the exam Hosking the mare, that the s hip T or y v ,f Robert island of Penang when the captain threw himself overboard. Their voyage was from San Francisco to Bombay, touching at. Manilla. The complainant Roberts, with six others, shipped at San Francisco, signing articles with the cap tain for the round voyage. After witness had taken the command of the ship, on nearing Penang, the complain ant and the other men who had shipped at San Francisco said he would go no further with him. He asked them why ? They replied that they wanted their wages. He was obliged to put into Penang. At night the men went on shore and got drunk. They did this for two or three days. They demanded their discharge and their wages, and refused to do any more work. At last he was obliged to complain to the magistrates. On the 15th of Decem man most die; he accordingly determined upon removing it ; one of the front teeth had first to be extracted to admit the saw, and the cheek was cut through nearly to the ear, in order to get at the other end of the jaw, when by means. of the saw it was taken out.

LIBRARY OF THE BRITISH MuseuM.—At the end of the year 1336 the library of printed books consisted of 930.000 volumes. In July, NM, it consisted of 465;000; and at the eon or th.. your ....ntarltf'd to 470.000volnmPs During the last fifteen years the library has, therefore, in creased at the rate of 16,000 -.plumes a-year on the average. The superficial extent of the shelves of the whole library, exclusive of that set apart for newspapers, amounts to 55,400 superficial feet. By great economy of space, it appears that out of these:ss,4oo feet, there are .new 55,000 actually occupied. Judging from the increase of the last fifteen years, there is now only room for the books that will accumulate for the next year and a-half. By the calculation of M. Panizzi, 4E04000 volumes will be added to the library within the next thirty years. LOSS OF TWENTY-FOUR HORSES.—The sloop Zebra, Cooper, of Exeter, with 27 young horses froin rerros, in Brittany, was caught in a heavy gale on Thursday, when half-channel over. The sea was so ferious that the hatches had to be battened down, but the horses breaking loose, commenced kicking and plunging about ; and, owing to the terrific gale, it was impossible for those who had charge of them to get down and secure them. The vessel was for a time on her beam ends, the horses all getting on one side, but -she soon righted. The gale having abated in the morning, Captain Cooper bore up for Jersey, wkere, on opening the hatches, 24 of the animals were found dead, supposed to have been suffo cated. The loss incurred is large, as most of the horses were of the value of £3O each. THE REY. MR. BERRINGTON AGAIN.—John Berring ton, said to be a clergyman of the Church of England, was charged at Marylelmne, on Wednesday, with obtaining four halves of bank notes for £5 each, by fraudulent re presentations; and a well-dressed woman, named Caroline Clark, was charged with being concerned in the transac tion. Anne Richardson, residing near Grantham, said that, about five weeks ago, in consequence of an advertise ment, she went to Rottendeen, near Brighton, and there saw Barrington, who alleged that he was fitting up a ship to go to Australia; his wife and family were going out, and she (Miss Richardson) was offered a salary of £l2O per annum as governess; he questioned her as to whether she had any money, giving her to understand that he would allow her liberal interest in the event of her placing it in his hands. She returned home, and soon afterwards for warded to him four halves of £5 notes, and requested him to acknowledge the receipt, but he did not do so ; and upon instituting inquiries she felt convinced that the reverend gentleman had swindled her. It appeared that the female prisoner had been for some time living with Berrington, and the latter, who had lately lived in the borough, had deserted his three children, leaving them in the greatest distress.l - le had obtained £3 upon one of the halves sent to him. Berrington denied that there was lcept ion on his part in the matter, as he was in treaty p in which to go out to Australia with his wife and The female, who said she knew nothing of the as discharged, and Barrington was remanded. fora shi childrer TAKE HOLLOWAY'S PILLS TO CURE ASTHMATICAL COMPLAINTS, OLD COUGHS, AND AFFECTIONS OF THE CHEST.—The extraordinary efficac f these invaluable pills in the cure of complai n t s a ing the chest, w h e th er aiOng from asthma, old c Is, or occasional colds, is now so well attested by berg of persons, both at home and abroad, that hay een cured by their use, that Hol loway's Pills have ccome the most popular remedy for . few doses will remove the phlegm, re- such diseases lieve the op scion of the chest, and thereby produce a healthy a on of the lungs : to assist in perfecting the cure, loway r 4 OintMent should be rubbed into the ches very night. physical, 135 The worn a of the male enumerated :—Domestic grief, 7 ; unfaithfulness or in temperance of wife, 7; dread of poverty, 7; want of employment, 6 ; reverse of fortune, loss of property, &c., 12 ; loss of wife or children, 3 ; disappointed affection, 3 unhappiness at home, 1; erroneous views in religion sudden shocks, frights. & 29; jealous _ . . over anxiety, -2 • sudden loss of sevqral cows, 1; regret for a theft, 1 ; suicide of a brother, 1 ; over excitement at " Great Exhibition, 1.

Great preparations are being made at. Bangor to enter tain the Royal party in a becoming manner. Triumphal arches are to be erected along the line of her Majesty's route from the railway station to the P...nrhyn Arms Hotel ; the benefit societies of the town and ncighbourhood are to be invited to come with their flags, banners, emblems, and music, to line the streets ; the various schools are to be offered a conspicuous position in the line of march; there is to he a splendid display of fire works, and hon. fires will also be made on the heights. Great preparations are making at Penrhyn, whose princely owner will spare neither pains nor expense to do honour to the occasion. Mr. Stephenson, we believe, will have the satisfaction of conducting Her Majesty to the Tube, which will be covered with the flags of all nations, having the royal standard at the entrances. The Bangor station will be splendidly illuminated, and there will be a grand exhibition of flags and devices. At Shrewsbury, also, the authorities of the town and the railways in connexion therewith have been busy in preparing arrangements for the loyal reception of Her Majesty, who will arrive there about five o'clock. The loyalty of the inhabitants of Preston has been ex cited by the receipt of an official intimation to the effect that her Majesty intends to alight at the Preston railway station on her way from Balmoral to the Principality to-morrow. Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Royal children will partake of lunch in a room adjacent to the first-class refreshment-room—the same apartment which was fitted up for the Duchess of Kent when she passed through Preston about two years ago. The Earl of Derby (who is now at Knowsley) will probably be there to greet her Majesty on . her arrival. The Royal party , o n leaving Preston, proceed, by way of Crewe , to Wales.

He succeeded his father as second Earl in 1841. DEATH OF LORD DINORBEN.—This unfortunateyoung nobleman breathed his last at his ancestral mansion, Kin mel-park, on Wednesday last. He had long suffered severely from epileptic fits, and was attacked in an alarm ing manner on the Sunday previous, from which attack his lordship never rallied. Since the death of his father, the late Lord Dinorben, much ligitation has been caused, owing to the mental infirmity of his successor.
