Sunday morning the body of a young man, named Daniel Rogers, baker, of Enfield, was discovered lying in a ditch, near Four-tree Hill, on the Enfield road, with several wounds on the head and thighs. The body of the unfortunate man was taken to the sign of the Bull's Cross, and diligent search is making after the perpetrators of the crime. One man has been already secured, suspected of being au accomplice in the murder. Last week, as Mr. MILTON and his family, of Marlborough-street, Plymouth Dock, were at tea, they were alarmed by a strange noise in the chimney, which was succeeded by the descent of a large bird, enveloped in soot. At first they supposed it to be a pigeon, but on examination it proved to be a remat kably fine partridge, which, instead of sharing the every-day fate of its species, and becoming food for the epicure, is kept alive in the house, and feeds heartily on crumbs. FlRE.—About eleven o'clock at night, on Tuesday se'nnight, some hay-stacks belonging to the Rev. Dr. Loan, or Northiam, in Kent, were discovered to be on fire, threatening the entire destraction of a number of corn and straw stacks, barns. &c. .Iti alarm was immediately given in the village, when about 200 of the inhabitants assembled, and by their prompt assistance, and the e,peedy arrival of two engines from Rye, the fire was got under about nine o'clock the following morning.
