for the day at one o'clock.—Manchester Guardian.

On Saturday morning, one of those rare birds, the
Stormy Petrel, was picked up dead in the Pulteney road, near
Bath. From the singular circumstance of its being found so
far inland, we may infer that the weather has been very
tempestuous on the coast. The bird was immediately con-
weyed to Mr. Sainsbury, to be stuffed, and placed in the
museum of the Bath Mechanics' Institution. It is in beautiful
condition as to plumage.—Bristol Mercury.

EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE OF POTATOES.-
On the 25th ult., were dug up in tife gardft belonging to Mr.
W. W. Murray, of Cornbrooke, Hulme, one thousand three
hundred and eighty-two potatoes, the produce of one single
whole potatoe.—We understand that Mr. Murray has sent
them to the shop of Mr. Bannerman, seedsman, Deansgate,
for the inspection of any persons who may desire to see them.
--Manchester Guardian.

ONIONS.—Great attention has of late years been
paid to the growth of these useful articles of household con-
sumption ; and a e have now to record an instance perhaps
unparalleled as to weight of onions growing in this country.
Ten onions, of the Globe Tripoli kind, grown this year, by
Mr. Bolton, of Grove House, Withington, weighed 271bs.
3oz. the respective weights being as follows : —No. 1. 41bs.
loz. ; 2, albs. 10oz. ; 3, 21bs. 12oz. ; 4, Sibs. 1 loz. ; 5,
21bs. 1 loz. ; 6, 21bs. 9oz. ; 7, 21bs. Boz. ; 8, 21bs. 40z.; 9,
21bs. loz.; 10, 21bs. ; and, what is more singular still, they`
were grown from this year's seed, having been sown in January.
—Manchester Guardian.

To such a pitch have the lawless predatory habits of
some of the inhabitants of the New Forest risen, that they
openly proceed in gangs with horses to facilitate the carrying
away of their plunder. On Sunday, the 12th ult.' seven of
these desperadoes broke open a barn at Heathy Ditton, and
stole five sacks of wheat.

-----
We are sorry to state considerable property belong-
ing to James Ogden, Esq., of Ballycarney, parish of Ferns,
in this county, consisting of barn, coach-house, and stable, two
stacks of wheat, one of oats, a large rick of hay and a:hay-
cock, some barley and wheat in the barn, together with a
jaunting car, and farming utensils, were, on the night of the
18th or morning of the 19th ult., maliciously set on fire by
some person or persons unknown, and entirely consumed. On
the evening of Sunday, the 10th ult.' between six and seven
o'clock, a barn belonging to Michael Walsh, of Montabeg-
mill, near Enniscorthy, was maliciously set fire to and com-
pletely burnt; and on Tuesday evening, the 21st, at the same
hour, a stable belonging to the same Michael Walsh was set
fire to and burnt.— Wexford Conservative.
