The official report received at the News-rooms here,
from Cork, is to the following effect :
On Friday (the 20th) the port had been visited by a
severe storm, which had commenced on the previous
night, and still continued up to neon on that day. The
wind was at first from the S., but veered round to the
S.S.E. There were 130 vessels lying in the harbour at
noon, and damage to a great extent accrued amongst
them. What injury had taken place on board of
the mass of the vessels, could not then be ascert,iined,
inasmuch as the boats belonging to them could not effect
a landing. The Nimrod steamer, from this port, went
into Cove harbour in the night, and coming into contact
with the brig Caroline Lesure, from Genoa, cut her down

to the water's edge, and carried away some of the spars,
&c., of four other vessels. The schooner Eneas got on.

Neapolitan brig Sofia went on shore, but was assisted off
with some damage. The beach was strewn with ships'
boats broken up. About thirty whale-boats were all is

THE DUCHY O 1 LANCASTER

We have received (says the Dublin Mail) from a Lon-
don correspondent the following version of the recent ap-
pointments in the administratio❑ of the affairs of this de-
partment. It comes from a hand likely to be well in-
formed, and carries au air of vraisemblance well calculated
to obtain credit:—

" The Duchy of Lancaster is the private property of the
Queen. Her Majesty has been much disappointed at find-
ing, that, although she had a nominal rental of £28,000
per annum, she received but £lO,OOO , and as she was
aware that the revenue of the Duchy of Cornwall, the pro-
perty of the Prince of Wales, has been augmented from
£16,000 to £60,000 per annum, under the management
of certain commissioners, who did not change with minis..
ters, and of whom Sir James Graham ani Lord Lincoln
were the leadin.l men, her Majesty thought it would be
advisable to try the same experiment with the revenue of
the Duchy of Lancaster, and therefore made a per,onal
request to those persons and Lord Ilardwieke, and the
Duke of Bedford, to undertake the management of the
estates. The three Conservative gentlemen, of course,
consented, on condition that they were to have nothing to
do with the patronage, leaving that to the Chancellor of
the Duchy, thus keeping themselves clear of any obliga-
tion to Lord John Russell or the Government."
