RRIvAL OF TIE ROYAL WILLIAM.

/ ARRIVAL OF TIE ROYAL WILLIAM
f, The New York papers Of Monday, re-
ceived last evening, contain news from Eu-
rope, brought by thr Royal William, twen-
~ days later than previous ndyices.
The Royal William left Liverpool on the
I 18th ult. and arrived on Sunday morning,
having made her passage by the southern
route in exactly % days.
London papers Of the 18th were brought
by her, but there is no news of great impor-
tance. We make as many extracts as we
have room for.
Money was bringing higher rate of in
,eres'. British stocks were down IA shade.
Large sales Of American stocks were made
at increased prices. All American stocks
had advanced. Immense quantities of
manufactured goods are on their way to
this country. The prices Of cotton on the
18th were rather in favor of the buyers /;
there was no advance Of price after the ar
rival of the Great Western, on the 9TH.
The lin.rs have lately made some extra
ordinary passages, which has caused some
wags to say, that there was nothing like
competition. The ST. Andrews arrived IN
10, and the Orpheus in ii l2 days, whilst
the Great Western was ii days IN making
the passage to Bristol-a difference of IL
hours sail compared with Liverpool.
On the evening of the 9th November,
another Of those terrible storms for which
the fall of last year was SO remarkable,
swept the British coasts and seas, and al
so the northern coast of France, with de-
structive violence. la London, and the
suburban villages, stacks of chimnies and
in some instances, houses, were blown
down, window frames were driven in, and
trees of vast size torn up by the roots. In
the Pool-that portion ofthe Thames, ex-
tending from London bridge five miles
down stream, great damage was doue TO
the shipping.
The hurricane was accompanied by al
most incessant flashes of lightning and
peals of thunder, which =" shook The houses
in the northern parts Of London to their
foundations" The thieves took advantage
of the panic occasioned by the commo-
tion of the elements, and many houses were
entered and plundered in London and its
vicinity.-Numbers of the time -honored
oaks and beach trees in Keusir gton Gar
dens and The parks were blown down.
The damage done to the shipping on all
parts OF the coast was very great. The
timber ship Ariadne, from Quebec to Eiv-
erpool, was totally wrecked near the mouth
of the Mcrsey, with The loss of three of her
crew. Five vessels, all CO asters, were lost
on the Essex, and several on the Norfolk
coast. On the northeastern share the gale
was equally disastrous in its effects at sea-
The loss of lif: by shipwreck was in the
aggregate very considerable. The ST. PAT
rick steamer, plying between Liverpool and
Waterford, was wrecked on the 9th of
Nov. off the Hook light. The vessel was
totally lost-passengcrs and crew saved.
Lord Durham, family and suite, arrived
off Plymouth on the 9th of November, but
in consequence of bad weather, did no, land
,ll the 3Olh.-Tbe most gratifying marks
of respect were paid to his Lordship on his
progress to London, where he arrived on
the Sth of December.
The news from the continent, is unimpor-
tant.
