Belvoir Castle, the princely residence of the Duke of Rutland, for ages the ornament and boast of Leicestershire, and on which for the last seventeen years his Grace has devoted his immense revenues, his taste and attention, to render it a mansion worthy his illustrious house, was visited by a most destructive fire, on the morning of Saturday, the 26th of October, which first broke out at half-past three. The whole of what was termed the old building, comprising threefourths of the entire edifice, is completely destroyed; nothing but the walls are left standing. Happily no lives were lost, although the flames had reached the nursery before the Marquis of Granby and the other children could be removed. The whole of the plate was saved, but many inestimable pictures were destroyed. The celebrated picture of the Nativity, by Sir J. Reynolds (for which his Grace lately refused 10,000 guineas), is consumed; from the few historical or scriptural pieces this great master executed, the loss is irreparable. The insurances on the castle amount to 35,000l. but the loss, at a moderate computation, cannot be less than 120,000l. as nothing was saved in the part which is destroyed.

Mr. Paul, of Starston Hall, in a letter to the editor of the Norfolk Chronicle, states, "that being apprehensive that the standing wheat, as well as that which was upon the shock in the late heavy and continued rains, might be injured as to its vegetating powers, he was induced to try an experiment to ascertain the fact, the result of which is, that the wheat which was standing at that time, though not in contact with the ground, must not be depended upon as proper for seed; but that which was at the same time upon the shock, if carefully managed after the rain subsided, and got up dry, may be relied upon as good seed; making some allowance for the little which may have vegetated."

How deeply religious fanaticism has implanted itself in the minds of many of the lower orders is strikingly proved by a circular letter sent by a band of poachers in the neighbourhood of Bath to several magistrates and others. After referring to a late act of parliament by which the punishment for poaching is made transportation, and declaring their determination to burn every gentleman's house in the county, should this law be executed upon any of their number, these persecuted innocents conclude as follows:-" God will not let his people be oppressed; he will assist us in our undertaking, and we will execute it with caution; let every one of us that breathe praise the Lord!"

On the 29th of October, a mob assembled in the town of Walsall, which, after breaking the windows of several bakers, &c. proceeded to the new mills, about a mile from the town, where they commenced the work of demolition with great fury. Mr. Jones (the occupier of the mills) had just time to escape before their arrival, with a part of his cash and writings. The rioters either carried in the house. away or destroyed every thing that remained Before a military force could arrive from the neighbouring towns, the rioters had ben dispersed, and some of them secured by the civil power. It is right to observe, that on the morning of that day a hawker was busily employed in circulating at Walsall copies of the Nortingnam petition (as it is called) to the Prince Regent, and that, a few days before, the town was visited by an emissary from Nottingham. A project has been submitted to the Committee for the poor at Stafford, to reduce the heavy hill on the Shrewsbury road at Tettenhall, near Wolverhampton, which will, in all probability, be speedily adopted.

An address from a number of persons styling themselves the Birmingham Hampden Club, professedly formed for the purpose of "aiding and assisting in the great national duty of Parliamentary reform," was posted up in the most conspicuous parts of the town, to co operate with the above mentioned selitious manifesto. To counteract the mischievous influence of these publications, Mr. Jabet the loyal conductor of the Birmingham Commercial Herald, reprinted a patriotic address by an inhabitant of Bolton, in Lancashire, to his fellow townsmen, in which the writer recommends patience under the present want of employment as the most likely conduct to obtain it, and advises them to be aware of those men who would agitate and inflame their minds for their own private views and advancement. This address was read with great avidity by all classes, and being placed in Mr. Jabet's window, on the 28th of October, attracted a number of readers to his house.-About dusk, however, a report had gone abroad among the crowd, which consisted chiefly of boys, that Mr. Jabet had stated from his shop door," that 9s per week were sufficient for the support of a man, his wife, and six children." This report, though without foundation, was circulated by mischievous persons, to irritate the populace, and about six o'clock a riotous disposition amongst them began to shew itself, by their breaking the windows in the front of Mr. Jabet's house, But by the and committing other outrages. immediate interference of W.

Bellasis, esq. had the curiosity to remove part of the ceiling for the purpose of inspecting the state of the hive, when he found 60lbs. of comb filled with honey, part of which was become granulated in the cells from age. It appears from this fact, that the casting of bees, and the mortality to which these provident animals are exposed in unfavourable seasons, are effects arising from the narrow apartments to which they are confined under the care of man.

Near the same place, in a stratum of sand, were found some sharks' teeth, in a state of high preservation with some of the alveolar process remaining; likewise the clavicle and scapula of a human subject, the latter of which, on being exposed to the air, immediately pulverized.
