A correspondent in a Dublin paper, says—" I have
been favoured with le view of two letters from persons of
high rank and consideration in the Sister Kingdom. One
is dated Devon, and it states that anti-Catholic Associations
are in the progress of formation—the other is from the
neighbourhood of London, and it states that the English
view the proceedings of the Catholic Association of Ireland
with alann and dismay. ' _

During the severe gales which prevailed in the Downs
on Monday lit, a small bird, called by naturalists the
Stormy Peterel, nick-named by seamen Mother Carey's
Chicken, was picked up alive on the shore near Wahner
Castle, by a servant belonging to Mr. ihooke, of Marine
House. Only three of these species are said by Ilewick
to have been found in this country. and these not alive.
They swarm in !stormy weather in the Atlantic, and follow
the ships with a doleful screech on the gathering of a
stor.l. _ . .

The Stormy Petterel, or " Mother Carey's chickens;'
have been much observed in the harbour of Falmouth
lately.
The following instance of the extraordinary rise which
has taken place in the price of farming stock, may be de-
pended upon. A farmer in a west( rit county, having, in
the autumn of 162'2, a quantity of ewes which he wished
to dispose of, took them for that purpcse to a neighbour-
ing fair ; but being off•red only 7s. a-head for them, he
was reluctantly compelled to drive them home again.
Each ewe has since produced him two lambs, which he
has since sold upon an avetage forts,. a piece ; and a few
weeks ago he sold the ewes themselves at the same place
I for 475. each, to the very person who had offered him the
first-named price.

A certain gallant officer of our garrison sent a very
lovely, but a very loose fair one, a bank note of 100/. for
one hundred tickets of admission on her benefit nigl.t.
The lady returned, by the messenger, according to the
request of her admirer, the one hundred tickets; but she,
unexpectedly, sent also the change of the bank bill, re-
e-rving to herself the mere amount of the tickets in ques-
tion. This, to the gallant Cupid, was a sad disappoint-
ment.—Dublin l'aper.
Extract of a letter from Tirhoot, dated May 1:—" I was
out on a tiger hunting-party last Atember, and had
good fortune to be at the death of five • on the whole,
though pleased, I was disappointed that five;
animals did
not afford half the sport I expected. We had a fine line
of elephants, twenty in number, fourteen of thou with
howtlas, so that Johnny had no chance when once seen. We
came on the track of some wild elephant but could not
come up with them. The scenery was beautiful and af-
forded me as much pleasure as the Shikar. By-the-by,
there was a curious accident happened to an officer of the
Chumparum corps, about two months back, at Sep, nip.
He took out his gun with the intention of killing a few
quails, and was beating a bush, within a 100 yards of his
hungalcw, when a tiger sprung on him and took him off
The bearers set up a shout, which induced the tiger to drop
hint after he was dreadfully lacerated. Ilia lire was de-
spaired of for some time, but he has, through good luck,
recovered. The tiger escaptal."

A dreadful accident occurred yeslenlay on the premises
of Mr. Bramwell, a wine and spirit merchant, at l'imlico.
Four men, named Blisset, Newstead, and Hum-
phries, were employed pulling down the arch of a vault.
They had incautiously pulled down only one side fors con-
siderable extent, when the other fell in upon them. Blis-
set, being nearest the wall, escaped unhurt ; Turner was
dug out much mutilated ; and the other two quite dead.
A Coroner's Inquest sat on the bodies yesterday, when the
Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death."
