ACCIDENT to the DEMERARA STEAM-SHIP.

BRISTOL, MONDAY APTERNOON.—The royal mail
steam-ship, Demerara, left this port for Glasgow this
morning, for the purpose of being fitted with engines.
She was taken from the basin a little after seven o'clock,
towed by a Liverpool steam-tug of about 180 horse-
power, and having two other steam-tugs at her larboard
and starboard sides. She proceeded in safety to below
the Round Point----a dangerous part of the river Avon;
and about 200 yards further down, near the second
point, having either too much way or from some other
cause hitherto unexplaimed, she went ashore on the
Gloucestershire side. Unfortunately, having 1,200 tons
of ballast on board, all efforts to get her off were una-
vailing, and the tide ebbing her stern thwarted towards
the other side of the river. As the tide fell her bow lay
high and dry upon a hard gravel bank, whilst the cut-
water was embedded a depth of several feet, with the
stern upon the bank on the other side. She is now lying
in a most dangerous position right athwart the river.
The utmost efforts are being made to lighten her by
taking out the ballast and stores, in order to endeavour
to float her with the return of the tide at eight o'clock
to•night. Hundreds of hands are employed in caulking
and other operations for her safety.

Her Majesty will hold a Privy Council on Friday
next, the 14th inst., at Windsor Cassie. Summonses were
issued yesterday- to the Ministers and Officers of State from
the Privy Cuuncil Office to attend the Queen's Court at one
o'clock.

We understand that the Queen has been pleased
to appoint Mr. Temple, one of her Majesty's Counsel, to be
Chancellor of the County Palatine of Durham, vacated by
Vice-Chancellor Rinderaley. This office had been previously
held by Lord Eldon, Sir Samuel Romilly, and Sir Charles
Wetherell. The appointment is merely honorary.

Norice was sent to Southampton to detain the Tv
yesterday afternoon; she had, however, left before the notice
arrived.

Amongst the cargo taken out by the Royal Mail
Packet Company's steamer Tay, which left Southampton
yesterday with the Brazilian mails, was specie, value about a
quarter of a million of pounds sterming. The export of this
large quantity of specie is (ming to the new bank, which has
been recently established at Rio.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert will pay a short visit to their marine residence in the
Isle of Wight next week.

ROCHESTER, Nov. 9.—This day was elected to the
important office of mayor, Robert Clements, Esq. ; this gen-
tleman's qualifications for the civic chair here are well-
known, his ge❑eral business-like manner and friendly dispo-
sition to all parties have gained him the universal esteem of
the corporation, who have for the fourth time prevailed on
him to preside over their interests. The business of the day
being concluded, the Mayor, corporation, and a few select
friends sat down to a well-served dinner at the Bull Inn. A
jovial evening was spent, and thanks returned to G. Essill,
Esq., the ex-mayor, on the expiration of his duties.
THE NEW MAYOR OF MANCHESTER—The town

Mr. Robert Barnes mayor for the ensuing year. The town
council of Salford met at the same hour, and elected Mr.

THE NEW MAYOR or LIVERPOOL.—The election
of mayor took place yesterday. Mr. Thos. Littledale was
proposed in a complimentary speech by Mr. Hugh Hornby,
and the nomination was seconded by Mr. Samuel Holme.
As there was no other candidate proposed, the proposer and
seconder left the council chamber and introduced the mayor-
elect. On taking his seat Mr. Littledale thanked the council
for the honour they had conferred upon- him, and begged
their aid in enabling him to discharge efficiently the duties
of the office, and promised, as far as his abilities enabled him,
to give his time and energies to the town during his occu-
pancy of the civic chair. Mr. Littledale, it may be stated, is
one of the most wealthy and influential merchants in Liver-
pool ; he is nephew of the late Mr. Justice Littledale, and is
