SHOWER OF STARLINGS.—On Sunday mon.-

immense flock of starlings over his master's ground, and during
the time he was gazing on them, they momentarily have

sudden plunge, and descended with surpassing velocity, 17
though they had all been shot, into Mr. Powell's farmP%
They were so numerous that in passing the kitchen winu°_.

and one o'clock, a most alarming and destructive fire rb o
at the dwelling-house of Messrs. Brown, extensive utirserj:s
men and horticulturists, at Slough, near Windsor. There
hold
an excellent supply of water, but the flames had got such
of the premises that all efforts were of no avail in checking
their progress, and in less than two hours from the time of the
fire breaking out the house was completely gutted, and not
vestige of the furniture saved. The only portion of the pro-
perty which was preserved were the day-book and ledger of the
last year, the plate, and some few of the paintings. A vain-
able stock of seeds was wholly destroyed, as well as nearly the
whole of the writings and papers connected with the firm. The
house and furniture are insured. At the back of the chinuitel
a large piece of timber had been inserted, and this timber,
supposed, must have become ignited.—From a similar an° •
