EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE OF THREE POTATOES.
—Three large-sized potatoes, planted in Mr. Ran.
som's garden, at Hawthorne Cottage, on Southampton
Common, were this week dug up, and found to have pro-
duced 362, weighing in the aggregate 711bs. A dozen
weighed 16 lbs., and four selected from the dozen weighed
61 lbs. The largest single potato weighed 2 lbs. 7 oz. These
potatoes were planted about three feet apart, and kept well
earthed up as they grew, each forming a small mozud t.l.+out
13 inches high.—Hants Advertiser.

Instant Relief.—Sores which are daily extending, ulcers
which are hourly deepening may be arrested in their tor-
turing progress, and induced to take a healthy action by
applying this healing Ointment and taking these purify-
ing Pills. It soothes all distempers of, and extracts all
morbid humours from the skin. Old ulcers of the legs,
inflammations caused by varicose veins, and cramps of the
lower limbs can sensibly be eased and shortly cured by
Holloway's never failing Ointment, which represses exces-
sive, and stimu►ates sluggish vascular and nervous action.
In constitutions breaking down under piles, fistulas, and
other similarly painful maladies, a few applications of
cooling Ointment will give comfort, and a persistence of its
use will effect a cure.

GREENOCK.

On Saturday a severe gale from the E.N.E, was experi-
enced here, and great damage was done to the shipping.
The storm broke out about midnight on Friday. and raged
with great fury all the morning till about 9 a.m., when it
seemed to have reached its height, and from 10 a.m. till

about 2 p.m. it abated considerably in its fury, but there
after it became as severe as ever, and continued so up til

dusk. A number of small yachts and sailing and pulling
boats have been destroyed, and the shore was covered
with wreck. One schooner came running down the river

OD the quay, she came to anchor off the mouth of the West
Harbour. A signal of distress was hoisted. Two tugs that
went out could not get near her, and had quite enough to do
to take care of themselves. The vessel was labouring and
heaving. Her jibboom, part of her foremast, and her gear
came away, and the men were hard at work at the pumps.
The sea was washing over her, and it became evident that
she was sinking. The mon clung to the vessel as long as
there was hope of saving her, but finding their efforts of no
avail, they took to the punt, and in five minutes afterwards
the vessel sunk. The men in the small boat got ashore, but
had a very narrow escape. They had only one oar, but
with it they managed to steer her as she ran before the
wind, and got safely into Caird and Co.'s shipbuilding yard.
Several large ships drifted considerably, and great fears
were entertained for some of them. The new dredging ma-
chine was driven ashore, and coming in contact with the
pilotboat smashed it to pieces. She, however, got on to a

DRURY-LANE.

Mr Falconer has made some important alterations in hi
new farce, "The O'Flahertys," since its production a week
ago. He has judiciously curtailed the dialogue to such an
extent that the performance of the piece now occupies half
an hour less than on the first night, and the result of this
is decidedly advantageous. Mr E. Falconer plays the hero,
Thaddeus O'Flaherty, with quiet humour and an unex-
ceptionable brogue, and he is efficiently supported by Mrs
H. Vandenhoff, Miss Hudspeth, Mr G. Belmore, and Mr
Fitzjames. The admirable performance of " Cymbeline"
at this house still continues to attract crowded audiences,
but those who wish to see this fine play upon the stage,
where it too rarely appears, and to enjoy a rich intellectual
treat in witnessing the exquisite impersonation of Imogen
by Miss Helen Faucit, have no time to lose. " Cymbe-
line" will be played for the last time next Monday, its
withdrawal then being necessitated by the impending re-
vival of "Macbeth," 'with rich and elaborate scenic and
decorativo accessories and imposing spectacular effects,
which is to be ono of the great features of the present
season.

Her Majesty's Theatre last night opened a short winter
campiign of a fortnight in London. The opera selected
was " Faust," the most popular of any works of the com-
posers of the day, Gard oni was substituted for Giuglini,
as Faust.

Santley, however, the best of Valentines, was there, and
Tietjens, the unapproached, sang Margherita. The quaint
Norse ballad was perfect, and the despairing declamation
after her fall, and the prayer when beset by the foul fiend
in the cathedral, were marvels of power and pathos.

serenade,- "Catarina," with grotesque humour. The
chorus of old men in the kermess scene was encored, ac-
cording to the precedent in that case made and provided.
This, and the grand chorus and march, " Gloria immor-

WESTMINSTER.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE,—Peter Manning, a very
stout, powerful man, was brought before the magistrate,
charged with the following disgraceful conduct at the
houseof Mr Southewaite, the General Havelock, Ranelagh-
grove, Pimlico.
Mr Southewaite said he was sitting in his parlour with
some friends at half-past seven o'clock, when his wife in •
formed him that there was a man at the bar making a
great disturbance and insulting the customers. Com-
plainant went to the bar where he found the defendant
making a great uproar, and quietly went up to remonstrate
with him, and had just commenced with " Now, my good
man," when defendant struck him a violent blo x in the
eye, which cut the lid open. Defendant then flew at him
and scratched his face in a frightful way. He then closed
onfcomplainant and hurt him very much. Ho seized him
by the hair of the head, and held him so tightly that he
could neither get away nor move. After that ho struck
him about the body and kicked him violently ,on the legs,
and it required five men to relieve from his violence.
Mr Arnold—Have you had any difference or quarrel with
the defendant at any time ?
Complainant—No, sir, I have not. I have given him no
provocation at all, and ace very much hurt by his violence.
Defendant said he want into the house and had a differ-
ence with one of the customers when he was struck by
somebody, and then the landlord of the house came up and
ill used him. _ _

•
A witness was called for complainant who completely
contradicted this statement, and said that defendant's con-
duct was altogether most disgraceful. He threw the cus-
tomers' beer about, "hugged the landlord like a bear and
scratched him like a cat." He then struck another man
who would not permit it.

The police proved that the landlord was bleeding from
the eyes, and was much ill used. The defendant was also
bleeding, and a man present said he had done it.
Mr Arnold (to defendant)--Your conduct has been very
bad. You are fined tho full penalty of £5 or two months,
and to enter into your own recognisances to keep the peace
for six months.

HA.YMARKET.

A new farcelby Mr Morton, called "Oa the Sly," was
produced here last night, with Mr Buckstone in the chie.
character. The humour of this trifle is light,butMrßuokstone
contrives to make one of those humorous realities out of his
materials which never fail to amuse the most critical, The
idea is to exhibit a rather henpecked husband who is not
altogether faultless himself tortured by unfounded jealousy
of a certain major. Mr Buckstone's jealousy is not of that
agonising kind which the imitators of the late Mr Robson
have made unendurable on the stage, but it is thoroughly
Bnckstonian, original, and diverting. The dialogue is full
of Mr Morton's old quibbles, and upon these the fun of the
farce chiefly depends. Mr Buckstone was well supported
by Miss Snowdon, Mrs E, Fit zwilliam, Mr Rogers, and Mr
W. Gordon; and " On the Sly" may be said to be success-
ful. The " Stranffor" will be revived at this house on
Thursday next, wnh Mdllo Beatrice as Mrs Haller.

A trifle, apropos of the Banting system, entitled "Doing

forming the part of a professor of the system, not for the
purpose of reducink his bulk, but with the hope of getting
something to eat. He gets into the house of Alderman
Podge (Mr Stephenson), and undertakes to reduce him and
his wife (Mrs H. Lewis) to healthy proportions; and he
exercises his power so as to deprive his patients of every-
thing, whilst he feeds and drinks to repletion. This kind
of stage humour is better understood in the seeing than in
relation ; and Mr Clarke, who was admirably got up as a
starveling adventurer, made so muck of the situation that
the audience laughed incessantly at his gaucheries, The
production fully answers its end—that of producing some
half hour's continuous laughter.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

Edward Carlton, alias Peter Watkins, 32, described as a
carpenter, was indicted for stealing 40 yards of linsey cloth,
value £3 10s, the property of Richard Laxton, a warehouse-
man in the City.

The prisoner cross-examined the persons who captured
him with great adroitness, to show that there were jobbing
porters in the City, who carried about goods for warehouse-
men, and that he willingly went back to Mr Laxton's as
soon as ho was accused of the robbery.
A clerk in the employment of the owner of the property
said the prisoner had no authority to' remove the goods;
and that the firm never sent goods by such persons. He
knew nothing of the prisoner.
The prisoner, having no counsel, addressed the jury in
his own defence, urging that his conduct did not imply
guilt.
Lhe jury however took an entirely different view of the
case, and without a moment's hesitation found him guilty.
A police officer proved a previous conviction, and as he
had nct reported himself under the new regulations on
Leaving his penal servitude before the expiration of his time
ho was on the look out for him.

Tho Recorder sentenced him to so en years penal.:servi-
,ade

Several pawnbrokers who had taken in things of value
from a young man who was indicted for stealing them, wore
called, and their expenses were disallowed by the Recorder.

This afternoon, shortly after 12 o'clock, the witnesses
who haveboen summoned in the case of Franz Muller, who
is charged with the murder of Mr Thomas Briggs, on the
North London Railway, attended before the Grand Jury,
Mr Edward Mappin being the foreman. Tho avenues of the
court were crowded with people who were content to catch
even a hasty glance of the persons who are to play a promi-
nent part in the trial. Fifty-one witnesses have been sub-
['coned on the part of the prosecution, but the evidence cf a
vast number of them is of little moro than a formal cha-
racter, and will occupy the Court but a short time. It is
thought the witnesses, who will be subjected to a rigorous
cross-examination, will not be more than eight. The in-
vestigation by the Grand Jury was, of course, conducted
with closed doors, but it is understand that Mr T. Briggs,
a son of the deceased, Mr Death the jeweller, Mathews the
cabman, and others, bore testimony to the facts in reference
to which they spoke when they were before the police ma-
gistrate and the coroner.
The Grand Jury found a true bill against Muller.
