DEPARTURES FROM THE PORT OF LONDON.—The de-
parturcs for the Australian coleniei during the week
have comprised 12 vessels—four to Sydney, with an ag-
gregate burden of 1,010 tons; two to Adelaide, with an
aggregate burden of 1,206 tons ; one to Portland Bay,
of 432 tons ; one to Swan River, of 446 tons ; one to
Moreton Bay, of 694 tons ; aid one to New Zealand, of
574 tons. Their total capacity was consequently 8,019
tons. The rates of freight exhibit no recovery from their
late depression.
THa INVENTOR OF THE SCREW-PROPELLER.—The In-
dependence Beige states that M. Sewage, of Havre,
whom the French represent as the inventor of the screw-
propeller, has become insane. He derived no pecu-
niary advantage from the adoption of the invention in
France, and in 1846 was so poor that King Louis Phi-
lippe settled a pension on him. When recently his mind
became affected, the pension was fond insufficient ; but
the Emperor having been informed of his position, un-
dertook to provide for him. The poor man is now in
the Asylum Picpus, and occupies himself in taking care
of a number of birds, and in playing on the violin.
ST. PAUL AND ST. BARNABAS, KNIGHTSBRIDGE.—Mr.
Charles Westerton, the churchwarden of St. Paul,
Knightsbridge, proceeded in the Consistory Court
against the Hon. and Rev. Robert Liddell, the incum-
bent of St. Paul and St. Barnabas, Knightsbridge, for
the purpose of restraining him from certain Tractarian
observances in those churches. The allegations are that
a " high altar " had been set up, that candlesticks and
crosses vs ere placed thereupon, and that a marble ere-
dentia,' or preparatory altar, had been erected. Tho
episcopal monition directs that all these articles shall be
forthwith removed, and that there shall be substituted
in lieu and stead thereof a decent communion-table for
the administration of the Lord's Supper, or tha, Mr.
Liddell shall show cause to the contrary in the Consis-
tory f
Court.
WEATHER IN THE ',TORT!! OF SCOTLAND.—The

northToesoe
the mercury fell 10 degrees below the freezing point.
On Saturday the wind changei to the east, and soon
after the snow disappeared. In the Highland district
the storm has been very severe, and not a few sheep have
died.

WRECK AND LOBS OF LIFE IN DUBLIN BAY,—The
Victoria, rchooner, from Glasgow for Lisbon, laden
with pig iron, ran right on the rock at the north-east
side of Dalkey Island, early yesterday morning, during
a violent snow-storm. Four of the crew were saved ;
the other two, including, it is supposed, the master,
were unfortunately drowned. The vessel immediately
became a total wreck. A tremendous sea was running
at the time of the sad catastrophe.

A SOLDIER FROZEN TO DEATH IN ENGLAND.—On
Thus sday morning, about five o'clock, a soldier named
John Lindsey, a private in the 89th Foot, who has for
some time been on the recruiting service in this city, was
found dead in Old Elvet. It appears that the unfor-
tunate deceased had been billetted at a public-house in
Hallg arth-street, and that on Wednesday evening he
had attended the theatre. It is not yet correctly ascer-
tained how he spent his time after leaving the theatre,
but it is certain he must have been drinking in some
public-house in the city. About 5 o'clock yesterday
morning, as two men were passing Taylor's public-house,
opposite the Waterloo Hotel, they found the deceased
in the street sitting upon his knees, with his face upon
the ground, and a pipe in his mouth, quite dead. Sergeant
Rutherford, of the city police, was soon afterwards upon
the spot, and Mr. Shaw, surgeon, was immediately called
up ; but the unfortunate man was beyond the reach of
medical aid, having perished by exposure to the severity
of the weather. About 3 o'clock two members of the city
police . force passed the Waterloo Hotel, but they did not
observe the deceased, although it is possible that he might
have been in the street. Two hours afterwards he was
found dead, as already described. An inquest will be
held to-day, when every effort will be made to ascertain
the manner in which the deceased had spent the night
after leaving the theatre.—Durham A dvertiser.
A library, consisting of nearly 300 volumes of books,
has been fitted up on board the hospital ship Severn,
which is about to proceed to the Black Sea. This
library is intended for the invalids on the passage be-
tween Balaklava and Scutari. The idea of this library
originated with Messrs. Forbes and Marshall, the book-
sellers of Southampton, who gave a number of books
towards it. The rest of the books were given by the
ladies and gentlemen of Southampton and its neigh-
bourhood. The library is under lock and key, and Mr.
Pitcher, the purser of the Severn, will act as librarian.
The library consists of light and seriously-written books
in different languages.
