The Proprietors of Covent-garden do not trust
slave for attraction to the novelty of their Theatre.
-They have made many important additions to their
company.—Mr. C. KEMBLE: Mrs. DOBBI, from the
York Theatre; and Miss iiiticula, the Catalani of
Dublin, are among the new engagements.

A large swarm of bees on the last market day at
Beverley, in Yorkshire, entered the shop of Mr.
Oztaby, a grocer, and immediately put to flight all
his other at:tomer: ; a general battle then ensued,
and it was not until after Mr. 0. anti his men had re-
ceived I wounds, that the enemy was made to
" bite the dust," instead of the sugar.
Flat(.—Yestertlay a fire broke out at No. 12, Cel-
tt White-street, Bermondsey, which,
from the confined situation of the place, created great
alarm, but owing to the prompt assistance of the In-
hshitants, and the timely arrival of the engines, it
was soon got under.
The robberies of gentlemen's !portions in the vici-
nity of London exceed all precedent, scarcely one
having escaped without being plundered of a great
part of its fin..st fruit. A few tiny, ago a Gentleman
at Hackney, who counted on his walls sixty dozens
of the choicest peaches and nectarines, which would
have sold wholesale in Covent-garden Market, for at
least shillings a dozen, had the mortification the fol-
lowing morning to find every one of his trees corn-
pietely stripped.
Peorsrat•zust.--On Saturday last, a young man,
of the risme of Amos, son of a respectable farmer at
Sible ileditigham, Esker, for a wager of 101. under-
took to run YI miles in three hours, which he accom-
pli,hod within the time, having two minutes and a
half to spare.
On Thursday se'nnight a melancholy accident hap-
' petted to Mr. Harris, grocer, of Aberystwith, who,
' accompanied by a little girl, went to see the fire-
' works at that part of the Castle wall facing the Bay.
During the exhibition he had very humanely and
frequently cautioned several persons to beware of the
adjoining dangerous precipice; but a squib or cracker
White close to him, threw him off his guard, and he
fell down the rockey steep, shout thirty feet, by
which there is reason to fear he has received so much
serious injury as to make his recovery extremely
doohtful. Mr. Harris had loosed the child only a
moment or two before the dreadful occurrence took
place.
On Sunday night last, in consequence of inform.•
tion received by the Surveyor of Excise, at Mallow,
in Ireland, an extensive private distillery was de-
stroyed, slid near 1000 gallons of pot ale spilt oe the
towrilend of Ballyanns, In the county of Limerick. 1
The Excise Officers nett day lodged the still, &c. in 1
Ow King's stores at Fermoy, after a fatiguing march,
4 the distance being 30 miles from Mallow, and from
thence to Fermoy upwards of W. On this *tyke
they were assisted by an 0411cer's owl at the Mb
regiment, from Mitchebt•wa.
