What maybe reckoned a curious and extraordi-
vary occurrence in natural history happened a few
days ago in Leith. A parrot, of the grey species,
which had been in the possessibn of its owner for
upwards of twelve years, laid an egg. It had pre-
viously appeared very dull, and, as it were, over-
come with sickness, but immediately on laying the
egg it became as lively as ever !
A large-seal was found enclosed in the stake nets
at \Vestwater, Dundee, the beginning of last week,
which, after a severe snuggle, was killed, and found
to weigh 18 stone. It is supposed it will produce
forty pints of oil. Four very fine salmon were found
in them at the same time.
Last Thursday night, between ten and eleven
o'clock, as a man was passing near the Basin, in
Hyde Park, be was overtaken by four men, who
knocked him down, which stunned him; when he
came to himself, be found his mouth tied with a
handkerchief, and a pocket of his pantaloons, con-
taining 3501. in Bank notes, cut out, the con-,
tents of his other pockets emptied, and the robbers
made off.
Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, as three
soldiers, with bayonets fixed, were escorting a de-
serter horn Newgate-street to Ludgate-hill, the
prisoner made an attempt to escape, by running up
the Old Bailey. The corporal fired at him ; but
mis,ed the deserter, who was close by a Gentle-
man, and the ball struck a cart. The man was
stopped by an indifferent person ; but` with consi-
derable difficulty. He also resisted the soldiets
when they wa;;ted to take him away ; therefore they
lodged him in Newgate till the people dispersed, as
they were by this time very numerous.
