task; from Piinlico. The di4tanCe Which ' the pe-

A swarm of bees entered a, few days since, throng.;
an open window, into the apartments of the Duke
of KENT, at Windsor, and settled on the arm of his
chair. The swarm was taken in the usual way, and
conveyed into the garden, where it is now under
shelter of what, called the 'Royal Hive.

On Friday last a dreadful tire 'broke ont at Ste-
venage, in. Hertfordshire,. It began at a wheel-
wright's. shop, at twelve o'clock.ar noon, and corn-'
municating to the out-bUildings, which were covered
:with thatch, and excessive dryi it ran like -wildfire,
rni was oply stopped by the pulling'down of a house,
Alter having consumed upwards, of tbrty 'houses; and
fifteen ricks of fine hay, belonging to Mr. Cass, of
the Swan Inn. The hay is estimated at• 30901:—

of North Moreton, near 'Wallingford, in Berkshire,:

Cages, a large quantify of corn,•hay, and straw, with'
several calves, pigs, &c.

It is dwell known fa& that several of the largest
Prizes, in the lait four Lotteries, were gained by
porchasers,of Tickets and Share 4 within a few days
of the commencement of the 4rawing. That cri-
tical period is now again arrived. The interesting
scene opens to-morow, and many a fertune, theye7
