cated to the tdjoining mitt. In ash rt time, in spire
of every ell. rt to prevent it, the tire deirevoiesi t i ,1.0
&ors beiow ; and Bossily the gold-room, the s,lvt.l
rolling room, and nearly three sides of t!.e eqo or: isi
wooks'inps destrioeti. 0, course much of the
vainable machnorry has been do strayed ; but more of
it has been savei than was expected, and it is hoped
that in A short time the whole %sill be teinstated, at
no very consider:ble expense.
e are happy to add, that by the presence of all
the offices or the Mint (every one of (shcan was at
his post) and their rest eseitions, many of the built.
ings have been preserved horn damage. Several 6re
engines were soon upon the spot. 13y three ro'clock
the fla.nes were so notch got under, that no Luther.
mise:iief was apprehended.

WINDSOR, OCT. 31.—The Royal Hunt was yes-
terday very numerously attended by Gentlemen
Sportsmen. The deer was turned out of the cart for
the day's sport near the New Lodge, at Win kfield,
and went off in sery fine style, taking through
the woods near St. Leonard's Hill, proceeding with
very great speed, making towards Chewer-green, and
then made through the meadows by the Cavalry liar-
racks, through tie gardens and inclosures by the Foot
Barracks, crossing the Long Walk, where he ran with
great swiftness by the Hope public-house, taking to
the left of the road, and made an excellent leap over
the wall opposite her Majesty's garden, into Windsce
Little Park. The huntsmen, gentlemen sportsnse,i.
and hounds, were in consequence thrown out, but
they sot scent of the chace again by gaining
admission into the Park by the gate opposite her Ma-
jesty's house at Frogniore. They came up with the
deer soon after, he being neatly exhausted, near Mr.
Itioxi.es, the King's Bailiff's house, in the Liale
Park, after a run of upwards of two hours. The
day's sport was allowed to be the best there has been
this season.

rivals, and the demand being brisk, our prices are
