clerks were engaged at their respective duties, while des-
patching the mail, standing knee-deep in water. Scarce
a house was there that was not inunda,ed. The poor
householders in Peter's parish have suffered severely,
their bedding and clothing being saturated with water
before they had time to leave their beds, the tide having
risen previous to six o'clock in the morning.
A number of industrious shopkeepers beve also been
serious sufferers. particularly those in the sort gods and
grocery line, the losses of a few of them heir'_ estimated
at from £2OO, and £3OO, up to £5OO. The Misses Fan-
ning on the Parade, had property to the am unt of a
£lOO completely destroyed. A portion of a new house
building on the We-tern-road was blown down. The
Dublin conch was . nable to travel by the lower Glanrnire-
road, and had to enter Cork by the Upper-road. Great
fears are entertained for the safety of the vessels on the
coast, owing to the violence of the storm.
COVE.—The ships and small boats in harbour c

- not
escape the fury of the storm. There has been much lose
of property, and a few ships lying there have been se-

riously damaged. The Penelope drove foul of the William
Perry, doing a good deal of damage. Up the river a good
deal of damage has been done. Much property destroyed
in lower parts of stores. At Passage, about 300 braes of
tin (landed per American shin Metoka) were overflown in
the store and wi Ibe sold. The quays are much damaged
and shattered. The damage to boats along the shore has
been very great, the tide rising so high, rendering it im-
possible to save th ,m. The coasting schooners Mary
Elliot and /Eneas ate ashore here, and a good deal
damaged.

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
ni4ht, and still continued up to noon on that Jay. The
' and wind was at first from the S., but veered round to the
S.S.E. There were 13) vessels lying in the harbour at

noon, and damage to a great extent accrued amongst
them. What j Iry had taken place on board of
the mass of the vessels. could not then be as;!Prt4ined,
inasmuch as the boats beloogiog 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 Ene .s got on
shore. The brig Ellen and Margaret was wi ecked
Neapolitan brig Sofia went on shore, but was

with some damage. The beach was strewn with ships'
boats broken up. About thirty whale-boats were all in
pieces, belonging chiefly to the agents. In the neighbour-

hood every hoti;e was more or less injured ; and the effect
of the gale was such, that the entrance to the harbour was
marked by one sheet of foam. A large brigantine, un-
known, came into contact with the ship Emigrant. The
former lost her mainmast, and was otherwise injured.
The Blarney, Severn steamer, from Liverpool, had her
deck stancheons stove in, having got foul of the ship
Elizabeth. The Empress, of Halifax, from London to
Boston, arrived with loss of sails, fore and mail, topmasts,
On Saturday a number of other vessels put into the
damaged in sails and rigging. We are ‘,l--

THE DUCHY Or LANCASTER

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

aware that the revenue of the Duchy of Curnwalt, 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, Lnd of whom Sir James Graham an i Lord Lincoln
were the leading 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

firmly estiablii•lieti, that to adduce long statistical ac-

as to produce volumt, ou. evidence of a truism. Tea

con, c indispensible, not only on the well plenishtd tables
of the rich, and on the plainer hoards of the middle
classes ; but, descending in the scale. we find tea to be (if
we may so express it) the grand rn dhfier and assistant in
the pleasurable mastication of the o, herwise dry crust of
the purr, to whom, in the absroc.• dainties, it becomes
more of a necessary than a luau:) f life.

something destructive to t he public health (as. for instance,
the use of opium in China), we should have appreciated
the levying of large duties as a means of arresting an evil
which, from the easy process of smuggling in so portable
an article, they could not altogether put down. But, in .
_t e absence of all such plea, our legislators have through-
oist taken advantage of the very virtue of the lieges—for
it is a virtue to ref, r tea to beer, or other potent drinks
of former times—to fill th c,ffers of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer for the time beiti,J, without reference or con-
descension to the comforts of the misses.
If tea were obtainable at half its present price, the con-
sumption would be more than doubled, and the enhanced
price to the consumer is solely attributable to the "mon-
ster" duty. The people would prefer a strong cup of the
beverage to one so diluted and watery that it may tend to
produce nervous affect ons. Successive administrations
have, however, stinted us of the tea, though they have
somehow contrived to keep us in hot water.
As we now stand with relation to China, and having,
moreover, possession of several valuable ports in that im-
mense and rich territory, it behoves us for our own sakes
as well as for the interests of humanity to pursue a dif-
ferent line of policy. The present system acts as a deadly
check upon our commerce; and upon commerce, more
than ever, depends our national strength and supremacy
in the present day, in the partial failure of some of our
agricultural pursuits. A variety of articles, particularly
cloth, can be manufactured in this country at a smaller
cost, than other places; and why not promote a profitable
traffic with China, wh ch is willing to meet us, by a re-
duction of the tea duties? Such a consummation would
afford employment to many thousands of our operatives,

The factsoi le y

stated from a work now before us—A Lead' to Sir R.
Peel, dated December last, by Mr. Edward Brodribb, a
member of the Liverpool East India and China Associa-
tion, and ounlished by " The Liverpool Association for
ori
the Reductit.n of the Duty on Tea." This small but in-
tellit work exposes, beyond the reach of contradiction,
the unv
the system hitherto pursued in regard to
the tea trade, giving valuable statistics of the rising duties
on
8 import, from time to time, over nearly a century.
We anticipate that the meeting in this town, on Wed-
ne.day. (to.morrow,) convened by the Mayor, will be nu-
merously attended, and will help powerfully to forward
tLe present agitation.

ANIAGE'S CONCENTRATED COMPOUND
SOLUTION OF IRON. The well-known tonic proper-
ties of Iron have made it a medicine of daily application in all,
cases of debility, produced by a poor and impoverished state of
the blood. _ _ _ . .

••THE SYMPTOMS by which this state of the system is
known are the following :—General weakness, languor, inapti-
tude to exertion, loss of appetite,.imperf igestion, flatu-
lence after taking food, a feeble action o e heart, palpitation
on the slightest exertion, cold hands feet, irregular action
of the bowels, and severe headac .
- THE EFFECT of this Pr ion of Iron is to act as a per-
manent Tonic. By stre ening and invigorating the sto-
mach and digestive orgatfii, the appetite is not only increased,
but the food taken is properly digested, the blood is made in
better quality and larger quantity, thereby the action of the
heart is increased, rendering the pulse fuller and stronger, aug-
menting the temperature of the body, and improving the tone
of the muscular 6hre..
This Medicine is much assisted by using RAMAGE'S LAXA-
TIVE PILLS at the same time.
