.othcers reolted,. atidWere -joined'bY a large body, of

results of moment.

The Commission appainting Sir O. H. BAnr.pw

connected with the recent arrangeMents in. India,
were trade upon, Sinurdar.4t. the India House, "in

A Dispen-sation has :passed the Great. Seal to
enable the Rev. VicEstmus KNOX, a D. to hold

• A family as well known as any in the kingdom,
-which now moves in the first circles of fashionable
drssipation, has been very lately plunged-into a most
distressing situation, by the unexpected appearuce
of an hitherto considered'illegitithate son, who has
returned from 'a far distant country, where he has
bens isolated for years, to claim his 'firth-right..
This denouentent, which is en-train; and nothing
can prevent its publicity, will estrange •a very
fashionable Lady from all her dearest interests and
conneCtions. It will astonish and place in, a very'
aukl.vard situation a favourite son.

A curious circumstance took place-last Monday, at
the Duke of .KENT'S apartments on Windsor Ter-
race :—the day being remarkably fine, the windows
which lookod into the garden were thrown up to
admit air) when a swarm of bees from the garden
entered at :the window, and ,alighting On an arm-
chair in the room, gathered in a cluster, where they
remained Until a servant Caine in to adjust the room,
who, finding them.on the chair in a lump, went and
procured a hive, and having it prepared with 'milk
and honey; gave.thrn a fre,li abP4e. _
RESTAURATEUR.—The, ibllowing account is given
of the origin of this word :—" About the year 1765,:
a man named Boulanger conceived the- ludierous
idea of obeninc- a shop for restorative-soups ) and ac:
cording!)' placed 3 the fbllowing inscription over hi 6
door :—Venite, ad me binnes:qui.stamacho•labol
et cgo restaurabo Come unto me all ye that
,
labour in stomach, and I will restore you: The
singularity of this inscription, the novelty of' the
trade, and the dearness of the provisions, soon put
Boulanger into the -possession of a tolerable fortnne„
and in a short time inanyother -shops -were opened
on a similar plan, till at length the tertn of mitaura-,,.
teur has completely superseded that of traiteur.7 •

iespolc Numbers Ate in much the rage in
the present Lottery; in consequence of three of the
Capitals; in the last Sch&ne, falling to fancied num-
bers, it may not be unim-portant to notice the subse-
quent events that took place from the Purchase of
seleaed;Lottery Tickets on .:_the King's ,birth-day.
On
_the 4th of June, 1803,__No. 7,686 and No.
13,747; the first gained 20,0001. the latter a
10,0001. .Prize.— And on the 4th of June 1806, was
drawn, Nro.--12,710; which turned :up- a 'Prize of
10,0001. ; all of w;iich,Capitals:.were sold in Shares.
From these striking .aud undeniable,-,oecarrences,
willsthe votaries of fortune not pay•Fpecial devotion
to the present 4tll,4nfjune ?

The period hemreon: the annokincernent of the
present Lottery Sclreme: and cointhericement, of its
drawing, is the: Shortest • ever experienced. The
principal reason:mtus, to-be, ti-om only
of 20,000 Tickets. This is a reason,:,however, esl
p:ciedly when the consequence of the Scheme is con-
sidered, that oughtn't), prove a strong inducement to
Adventurers toi be early in their: purchasesy is it eau=
