A fire broke out at Watlington, on the 
night of the 10th of October, which destroyed 
eight cottages ; fortunately; no lives were lost. 
Scandalous Riot at Oxford.—Mr. Mulock, 
who has for some time been preaching in 
the Potteries, lately opened a chapel at Ox- 
ford, and held forth doctrines which, it is 
stated, have had remarkable effects in several 
families. His principal followers are the 
son of an opulent and respectable banker, a 
‘chemist in High-street; and the son of one 
of the managers of the Clarendon printing- 
office. On Thursday afternoon two of these 
gentlemen; furiously attacked by a mob in 
St. Thomas’s parish, gained admission into a 
house, and locked the doors ; but they were 
forced open, and the two gentlemen became 
exposed to the fury of the assembled crowd, 
who drove them out of St. Thomas’s through 
the wharfs, and into St. Giles’s, where they 
took refugein ahouse, and remained for séme 
time. About seven in the evening, on their 
return home, they were again attacked ; they 
ran into the town-hall yard, and the doors 
were locked. Some time after they ventured 
out, and appeared covered with mud and 
filth of every description; their hats were 
knocked off and lost. With some difficulty 
they reached the house of the chemist (oppo- 
site to St. Mary’s-church). Mr. Mulock, 
who was a member of Magdalen Hall, has 
published several religious pamphlets, some 
of which ¢ontain severe animadversions on 
Bible societies. — It is said that some of his 
followers have deserted their wives and 
children, in conformity with the tenets of 
their religion. }

yar BUCKS AND BERKS. 
a Mr. Husband; post-master of Aylesbury, 
has this week removed a wasp’s nest, which 
bad been ‘constructed in an outhouse in his 
garden. It was suspended from the roof 
like'the nest of a swallow; and, when first 
‘observed, was not larger than a walnut. 
When taken down, it measured about ten 
inches in diameter, and was in the form of a 
bowl: Its construction is extremely eu- 
rious. In the centre are three tiers of comb, 
similar to a honey-comb, about six inches in 
‘diatneter, in which it appears the young 
wasps were bred. . The comb is surrounded 
by concentric circles, between twenty and 
thirty in number, of a substance like fine 
Otaheitan cloth; made of the bark of a tree, 
in stripes of grey and ash colours. The 
nest seems to have been tohstructed solely 
for the purpose of breeding; for when- 
smoked and taken down, not a vestige of a 
wasp was found. ‘The eiitrance was at the 
bottom. 
As some labourers were working in a 
gravel-pit close to the town of Shefford, they 
dug out a bottle and two earthen dishes or 
platters, all of them evidently of Roman ~ 
manufacture. From the pick-axe coming 
in contact with the bottle and the large plat- 
ter or dish, they were unfortunately muti- 
lated. The small dish was taken out whole, 
but the careless workmen threw it from the 
pit, and afterwards threw their working 
tools upon it, and broke a piece out of it. 
These dishes are of red earth, very fine in 
texture, and of excellent workmanship ; the 
smaller one is a fine specimen of the chastest 
simplicity in design, There are two han- 
dles placed horizontally on the edge, and the 
margin is ornamented in the boldest relief. 
The lage dish has withinside a radiated 
circle, cotitaining the maker’s name (it is 
présumed), Offager, in Roman capitals.

Ever since the attempted introduction of 
gas into the town of Cambridge; the de- 
struction, of lanterns has been great; but 
latterly has become so enormous, that the 
£as contractors have been obliged to beat up 
a hasty retreat ; while the oil-men were un- 
willing or unprepared to take their places: 
consequently.the active and the aged members.
