THE WEATIIER.—The damage that has been
done lately, owing to the high winds, both above and below
bridge, has been to a very great extent. Numbers of barges
have broken from their moorings,, and, in one instance, a barge
belonging to the Adelphi floated up to Battersea-bridge, where
it struck against one of the starlings, and nearly dashed it to
pieces : likewise a number of boats have got away, and received
much damage. During the storm on Friday,-between two and
three o'clock in the morning, the Miller at the Mill near the
Red House, Battersea, was endeavouring to take some cloth
in, as he found the wind so strong ; he mounted one of the
sails, and, while in the act of pulling in the cloth, the sail
went round ; he jumped off; fell on the stage, and received a
severe contusion on his head and back. Owing to the late
heavy fall of rains, many of the low parts in Surrey are con-
siderably inundated,,especialiy in the neighbourhood of King-
ston and Thames Ditton ; and another fortnight's similar
rains would render some of the roads impassable. In the
neighbourhood of Battersea, the fields and marshes have a great
quantity of water in them ; the owners are employing a num-
ber of hands to cut drains to carry it off into the Thames—ln
Sussex the waters arc likewise greatly out, both in the fields
and the roads,, especially in the neighbourhood of Reigate,
Crawley, and the low parts thereabouts.

Abundant Fruit Year.—From 80 to 100 carts,
laden with apples, have passed through the Tad-
caster Turnpike gate, on their way from York,
to J.eeds market, every Monday, for several
weeks past.

LEGAL DEFIANCE.—Tvvo eminent members of
the Irish bar, Messrs. DOYLE and YELVERTON,
quarrelled some forty years ago so violently, that
from words they came to blows. DOYLE, the
more powerful man (at the fists at least) knocked
down his adversary twice, exclaiming with vehe-
mence—" D----- you, you scoundrel, I'll make
you behave yourself like a Gentleman," To which
Yelverton, rising, answered with great indigna-
tion, " No, Sir, never ; I defy you."

HISTORICAL DOUBTS.--An auctioneer, at 'a
late sale of antiques, put np a helmet, with the
following 'candid observation :-44 This, ladies
and gemmen, is a helmet of Romulus, the Roman
Founder ; but whether he was a brass or iron
founder, I cannot tell."
Nine persons were buried last week in the
city of Norwich, whose united ages amounted to
six hundred and ninety-five years.

and the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE.

RAMSGATE, Nov. 21.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duke
of Cambridge and the Princess Augusta arrived at Ramsgate a
little before six yesterday evening, in two travelling carriages
and four, the Duke being attended by Major Stevenson and
Her Royal Highness by Miss Wynyard ; they drove to the
Albion Hotel, where preparations had been made for their re-
ception. The Dasher steam-packet, appointed to convey their
Royal Highnesses to the Continent, had arrived in the harbour
about five o'clock.

As soon as the arrival of these Illustrious Personages was
known to the Magistrates, one of them (Sir Thomas Grey) had
an interview with Major Stevenson, Aide-de-Camp to his
Royal Highness, stating the wishes of the inhabitants to ad-
dress their Royal Highnesses, if they should be graciously
pleased to permit them. Major Stevenson conveyed this re-
quest to the Duke, who commanded him to express his gratifi-
cation at the good wishes and loyalty of the town, but that the
lateness of the hour, and the very short time he should remain
in Ramsgate (as it was his intention to embark at seven o'clock
on the following morning), prevented his, receiving this testi-
mony of attachment ; adding his gracious pleasure, " that the
Magistrates should attend him an hour hence."
His Royal Highness was graciously, pleased to express his
approbation of the good wishes of the inhabitants, and of their,
loyalty and attachment to the Royal Family upon all occasions ;
and for this personal mark of attention, he commanded the
Gentlemen to return his thanks.

The Magistrates then addressed her Royal highness the
Princess Augusta, testifying how sensible the inhabitants were
of the distinguished honour of her repeated visits to this town
(her Royal Highness having embarked and landed here on her
former trip to the Continent), and " begged to express their
sincere wishes that her Royal Highness might safely arrive at
the end of her voyage."
'At the 'appointea time, Sir Thomas Grey and the Rev. R.
Harvey were ushered into. the .Royal presence (the Illustrious
Parties having then dined), where they met with a most gracious
reception, and on behalf of its inhabitants and visitors " begged
leave to acknowledge theifsense of the honour which his Royal
Highness had been pleased to confer upon this town by his pre-
sence, and to express their hearty wishes that his Royal High-
ness might safely reach the seat of his Government after a pros-
perous voyage."
The Princess graciously thanked them for the good wishes of
the town, and expressed her gratification at the marks of atten-
tion shewn upon her present as well as former visits to Rams-
gate. The gentlemen remained for some time with the Royal
Visit Ors, when they retired exceedingly pleased with the gracious
reception they had met with.
At day-break this mornintr, the Royal standard was 'hoisted in
the Pier-yard, and the carriages and luggage having been put
on hoard, the Royal party left the Albion Hotel about half-past
seven o'clock, and walked to the end of the Pier, where Capt.
Hamilton was ready to receive them on board the Dasher, when
they embarked immediately, and left the harbour at 5 minutes
before eight. A Royal salute was fired from the cannon at the
Pier-head the moment the vessel started. Notwithstanding
the early hour, a great many persons were assembled to wit-
ness their departure, and, with repeated cheers, wished them
a prosperous voyage, which their 'Royal Highnesses acknow-
ledged by repeated bows. The harbour being very full, the
vessels were dressed with flags on the occasion, and presented a
gay scene.
Their Royal Highnesses conversed affably on their way to the
Pier-head, asking many questions relative to surrounding ob-
jects, and appeared, much pleased at the noble appearance of
the Pier, and facility of embarkation.
