THE ADMIRALTY have determined to discontinue the
employment of lieutenants of the Royal navy as Admiralty
agents, in the North American mail contract steam-packets.

DOWAGER LADY POLW.ACTIC died on tile 19th
inst., at Rogate Lodge, aged 80 years. The deceased was
the daughter of Count Bruhl„ for many years Saxon
minister at this Court, and of Alicia Maria, Countess of
E gremont. - _ . _

A BILL-FIGHT, it is stated in the French papers, was
given on the 11th instant, at Beancaire, in the
department of the Gard, in honour of the Emperor's ate.
After the sports had lasted an hour and a half, a fresh bull
suddenly dashed among the spectators, and tossed three
men, two of whom were so severely injured that their lives
are endangered.
FIRE.—Ou Sunday afternoon, about'a quarter past two
o'clock, a fire broke out in the Joiners' Shop of Messrs.
Fawcett and Preston's Iron Foundry, Lydia Ann-street,
York-street. The alarm being first conveyed to the West
of England Fire Station, Mount Pleasant, the engine
belonging to that company, under the superintendence of
Mr. Barrett, was the first on the spot, quickly followed by
the reel from Seel-street. With the joint efforts of the
two brigades, the fire was prevented from spreading to
the adjoining buildings. Messrs. Fawcett and Preston
are insured on stock, &c., in the West of England,
Royal, Imperial, and Scottish Union ; and on buildings
in the Atlas.
DISASTROUS STonx.—Sad havoc was occasioned among
the shipping during the tremendous gale of Friday last.
Between Dover and the North Foreland many casualties
are reported. A number of vessels sought refuge inside
the Goodwin, some with loss of spars or anchors, and
cables, or other damage, by coming in collision. The
French mail boat from Calais, unable to make the har-
bour ran for Deal, and after much difficulty landed her
mail and passengers. Just below Beachy Head two large
vessels were lost in mid-day. One, the Brenda, with tim-
ber from Quebec, had leaked considerably on the voyage,
and on beating up Channel became almost waterlogged.
Encountering the gale, and the crew fearing her speedy
foundering, they ran her ashore in the vicinity of New-
haven. The coast-guard perceiving from the prodigious
surf that no ordinary boat could exist in it, immediately
resorted to the rocket apparatus, and succeeded in throw-
ing a line over the wreck. This communication being
secured, the crew managed to reachithe shore, although in
a most pitiable condition. The Australian, to Rio, from
Grimsby, in anticipation of bad weather, brought up on
Thursday evening, off Shoreham. There she lay exposed
to the violence of the gale. Shortly after daybreak she
was driven from her anchors, and cast ashore nearly abreast
the coast-guard station. No time was lost in launching
the life-boat, and several brave fellows volunteering to
man her, she went off to the rescue of the poor crea-
tures on the wreck. Through a tremendous sea she
gained the barque, and rescued the crew. According
to the last accounts the vessel was fast going to pieces.
From Teignmouth, Plymouth, and Falmouth similar in-
telligence as to the violence of the gale has been received.
At Kimmeridge, on the Dorsetshire coast, a new life-boat,
made by White, of Cowes, was driven ashore during the
height of the storm on Friday morning. Nothing is
known of the crew. The eastern coast felt the gale se-
verely, and the real extent of disasters is yet to be learned.
Gn the Newcowe Sand, just abreast of Lowestoft, the Mar-
mion, belonging to Weymouth, was lost while on a voyage
from Danzig to Gloucester, with a valuable cargo. In the
same vicinity the William and Ann, belonging to Goole,
was overcome by the storm, and foundered on Sizewell
Bank. Many other casualties are announced to have hap-
Paned on the same range of coast. Similar boisterous
weather raged on the Durham and Northumberland
coasts, where the coasters had & most severe trial.
