from Sir James Stirling (the first Governer of the colony),
Mr. T. IL C. Walters, and Mr. A. Shenton, announcing dis-
coveries of minerals by their respective correspondents. Sir
James Stirling's letters inform him that traces of a mine of
copper or lead, or both have been discovered on his Wood-

PROVISIONS FOR IRELAND, PORTSMOUTH, DEB.
19.—As there are not any men of war, of small tonnage, at
this port, which can be made available to take meal over to
Ireland, the Admiralty have directed that vessels shall be
hired for the purpose, and Mr. Davis, the master-attendant
of the Clarence Victualling Yard, has b. een endeavouring, at
Portsmouth, or Southampton, to take up tonnage, of small
craft, capable of stowing some thousands of bags of meal for
conveyance to Ireland. One vessel is to proceed to Clitden,
county Galivay, as soon as loaded, and another to Dublin, in
charge of Government officers. The Dauntless is taking in
stores, &c., for her crew, and goes toTobermory, in Scot-
land, directly she is filled with meal; and a small vessel is
also to be hired here, to be loaded with provisions to accom-
pany the Dauntless, and afterwards employed •in distributing
them on the small islands in the Hebrides and OrkueTh
will thedilutiouf the ccuakbicaer.

The Terrible steam-frigate, Lieutenant Murray command-
ing, has a number of hands put upon her, to be made ready
for service with all dispatch, and she will be completed in
about three weeks.
The Odin steam-frigate, Captain Williams, of tho Amphion,
when she passed Woolwich yesterday afternoon from Dept-
ford for Greenhitbe and Ireland, had 367 tons of meal on
board. Her ports and scuttles have been caulked, being
near the water owing to the depth of immersion, although
she had not any of her guns, shots, shells, or powder on
board, and only a small supply of stores and provisions with
twenty-eight tons of water on board for her crew. The Odin
is a sister ship to the Sidon steam-frigate, and appears as
much too deep in the water as the latter was light when
she left Woolwich.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley,
left Woolwich this morning for Liverpool.
Vessels in the Harbour—William and Mary yacht, Am-
phion steam-frigate, Black Eagle, Minx, Teazer, and Cyclops
steam-vessels, and Woodlark surveying-vessel.
In the Basins—The Gorgon, Dwarf, Kite, Niger, Charon,
Ariel steam-vessels, and Terrible steam-frigate.
In the Docks—The Vixen steam-vessel, and Mastiff sur-
veying- vessel.
Ciiamiimi, Fan. 19.—The Antelope, one of the three
steam-packets for the lonian Isles, arrived from Woolwich on
Saturday, and is forthwith to be fitted for service. She is
now lying alongside the sheer hulk.
. The Arab,l6-gun brig, building, is nearly ready for launch.
mg, and is ordered to be fitted for service at sea; therefore
the principal fittings will be completed before she leaves the
slip.
The Rochester, Sedgwick master, sailed on the 18th with
stores for Sheerness-yard.
A new steam-packet for the Dover station, to be named
the Vivid, is ordered to be constructed on the design of Mr.
0. W. Lang, master shipwright's assistant of this yard.
It is understood that the Shannon steam-vessel is to be
appropriated to the use of this port, instead of the Fearless
at Sheerness, for a voyage to Gibraltar.
Owing to the crowded state of the barracks at Chatham,
and the unusually large number of recruits that are daily
arriving from different parts of England, Ireland, and Scot-
land, it has been found necessary to remove 700 men to the
artillery barracks at Brompton. The garrison contains 35
depots, the whole, with the exception of the 2d battalion of
the 60th Rifles, form the provisional battalion, and contain-
ing nearly 4,000 men. This month 500 recruits have joined,
and on Thursday a number of young men from the Dublin
district arrived for the battalion.

WRECKS on the RIVER THAMES.
Since Wednesday last the weather has been universally
boisterous. Strong gales blowing from the west by south-
west have kept the Thames in a state more resemb:ing an
arm of the sea than a river, and the immense quantity of
land water out has caused it to overflow its boundaries in
all directions. The damage effected was, however, trifling
compared with the disasters attendant upon the hurricane
that took place Between four and five o'clock on Friday
morning, it being then nearly high water. Barges were
driven from their moorings, hundreds of sticks of timber
drifted here and there, and the lashing of the waves threw
down several embankments between Vauxhall and Putney
bridges, and between Battersea and Putney no less than
five sailing barges were sunk. In three cases the crews
succeeded in reaching the shore in safety. In the fourth
there was a very narrow escape of life ; and in the last
case, the men having charge of the barge are believed
to have been drowned, as nothing had been heard of them
up to last evening. The two most serious occurrences were
those of a sailing barge belonging to Mr. Mulcock, a lighter-
man and coal merchant, of Norwood, near Ilouslow, laden
with coals, which went down off Cremorne-gardens,
about fire o'clock ; the master swam ashore, and the ap-
prentice, who could not swim, held on by one of the
barge oars, trusting to the surge washing him ashore. When
nearly exhausted he was picked up by Forsdytb, an appren-
tice to Wingate, a waterman at Battersea. Both he and his
master were taken aboard a barge, where in a short time
they recovered. At about half-past four o'clock, a sailing
barge, having on board 70 tons of coal, and belonging to Mr.
Tharington, of Windsor, sunk in the chann&l off the Feathers,
at Wandsworth. Several persons living at the water side
were awakened by cries of " Help ! help !" but we could not
learn that any one put off. The cries for assistance ceased
in a few minutes, and when daylight broke, all that was
seen at the spot from whence the cries were supposed to
proceed was the upper portion of the mast of a barge sticking
out of the water. One of the barge oars, as also a hitcher,
were found floating off the shore, and the missing oar is sup-
posed to be the same one seen floating in a perpendicular
position through Battersea-bridge about six o'clock. As it
would be impossible for an oar to float in such a manner
without a weight attached, it is but too probable that one
of the unfortunate men belonging to the barge had clung to
it and not released his hold. The hurricane has been almost
as disastrous on land. In the nursery grounds around Clap-
ham, Balham-hill, and Battersea, immense mischief has been
done
.by the uprooting of shrubs, &c. And in Wimbledon,
Ilictimosel, and Bushy-park, many trees have been blown
down, and some hundreds lopped of their branches. Great
damage has also been sustained by the rare and valuable col-
lect ion of plants in Kew Gardens.
