A destructive Whirlwind occurred on the 
6th of July 1823, m the north of France, 
whose terrific effects have lately been de- 
scribed with considerable minuteness in the 
“ Bulletin’ Uniyersel ;’’ these effects were 
confined to a very narrow strip of country, 
extending from Assorwal village, six miles 
west-sotlth-west of St. Omers, to Lilliers, 
threeleagues distant from Lambre. In most 
of its particulars, this is similar to a whirl- 
wind which, in the summer of 1780, during 
a thunderstorm which occurred in the 
night, crossed: Barnes Common and Roe- 
hampton Lane, in Surrey, overset a wind- 
mill, overturned a large barn, in which were 
sleeping a whole’ group of Irish gardener’s 
labourers, many of whom were killed, and 
did much other damage. Mr. Farey, who 
next day viewed this latter scene of desola- 
tion, furnishes us with these particulars. 
Mangel-wurzel leaves a substitute for syinage. 
A correspondent, who writes from Somer- 
setshire, inthe Farmer’s Journal, week- 
ly newspaper, No. 898, after describing his 
practice of some years standing, in growing 
the letsom beet, or German root of scarcity, 
in the intervals between, and as a second 
crop to pease, beans, cabbages, &e., in a 
large kitchen garden, for food to his milk- 
ing cows, states that he, two or three years 
ago, discovered that the young leaves 
plucked from the mangel-wurzel plants and 
boiled are so perfect a substitute for spi- 
nage, that he has left off growing the latter, 
with a considerable saving of expense and 
trouble.
