OF course, the subject of Earthquakes will be looked up now by the British public with something more than the curiosity of An dents of physical geography. It has become a personal q uestion to us all. And we shall hardly be reassured by the discovery of the simple fact that Groat Britain lies " within the earthquake " district of Iceland." Physical geography divides the Old and the New World into earthquake dis tricts—such as the Mediterranean, the Central Asian, or the Central American district. The Icelrnd district, which includes some portion of the North of France, and the Scandinavirn kingdom, is that in which it is our good or evil fortune to exist. Hitherto, we must in gra titude confess, the inhabitants of these isles have been—(as the philosopher, who inspected a drop of water through a microscope, observed of man's place in creation)—" by no means the worst " off." But it is well that we should at least un derstand our liabilities. Earthquakes, indeed, are apparently an accompaniment of human " pro " grass." Though the fiercest "fever of the earth," as Gieeox calls it, ever known, the Earthquake of Antioch, in which 250,000 human beings perished, and of which the whole Roman Em pire felt the shock, happened in the year 526 of our era, it has been remarked that these convulsions of nature have become more frequent since the twelfth century, and particu larly within the last two hundred years. Such an earthquake as we record this morning is a stupendous novelty in England. It is a novelty so excessive and so strange that it is to be feared, in the interests of science, it may not have been observed with sufficient accuracy. It will be a rare occasion lost, if the reports which must be made of it, and which, in accordance with the law of supply and demand, are sure to be lengthy and circumstantial, should be for the most part dexterous adaptation, There will certainly be no lack of exoneration and confusion in the impressions of panic-stricken minds' , and nerves. There will have been imaginary shocks felt by persona, and even by towns and counties, honourably solicitous of the honour and distinction. Let us hope the disturbance will have been noted with more trustworthiness in the Mersey. Earthquakes, the geographers assure us., most frequently occur along the sea board. Liverpool seems to have Brat felt the shock the night before last. Were there any , premonitory symptoms ? any sudden retiring and returning of the water T any peculiarly electric condition of the air On land were there signs of disturbance among cattle ? Had the sun set red and fiery - in a hazy atmosphere t Were there sudden and violent changes of the weather f What were the indications in Admiral FITZBOVIS forecast tables Then as to the shook itself, which was felt from Liverpool to Derby, and from Derby to Hereford ; was it quite or nearly simultaneous at these places, and were the intermediate neighbour. hoods conscious of it f For the course of these con cussions of the earth, like that of the great storms which met( orology forecasts, are " linear" in direo- 1 tion ; in the present instance apparently S.S.E. and S.S.W. But the course of these tempests under the earth is more rapid than that of hurricanes in the air. The great com mercial city and the quiet country town may have been shaken from their slumbers at the sans, moment. The vibration of the terrible earthquake of Lisbon, in 1775, was felt over an area of four thousand miles—in the Alps, in Sweden, in Bohemia, in Scotland, where the lakes rose two feet. Was this earthquake of ours a minelike explosion from below, or an alternate rising and sinking, or wont of all—was it. a whirling movement, in crow directions, or am working outward from centre to circumference! These are questions which we trust may be an swered with sufficient accuracy by some calm and capable man of science. Bat, at all events, not only those portions of our island which felt the shock, have good cause for thankfulness. We have but to read a chapter on Earthquakes to learn how mercifully they have been spared. At Lisbon sixty thousand people and a flourishing city were swallowed up in six minutes ; in Java, in 1772, forty villages and 2,957 inhabitants were lost; in Southern Italy, in 1857-58, thirty thousand men and women, and several towns, destroyed. We take these cases almost at random from • fearful catalogue. These things are not judg ments. The Divine Founder of our faith bade His own disciples beware of such interpretations of GOD'S ways and works ; but they are mysteries which should at least teach us humility.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (artrraa's TnitoßAws.) AMERICA• CRITICAL POSITION OF GENERAL BURNSIDE. QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 7. The Inman steamer Etna arrived here at 3.30 this morning. She brings 30 cabin and 61 steerage passengers, and 620,000 dollars in specie. She landed 14 passengers and the mails, and proceeded at 3.40 p.m. (Per the Etna.) NEW YORK, Barr. 26, Kamm Admiral Milne, in the flagship Nile, left Halifax on the 24th inst. for New York. The steamer Juno has been captured. Advices from General Rosecrans to the 24th inst. re port that the Confederates are in force in his front. The Confederate infantry are massed in Chicka mauga Creek and Valley. It is rumoured that Sherman's corps of Grant's army joined Rosecrans on the 23rd inst. Great anxiety is still felt for the safety of General Burnside. The opinion prevails that he will be cut off if he attempts to reinforce Rosecrans. A Confederate column has crossed the Missionary Ridge, it was supposed to intercept Burnside. The press correspondents represent the battle of the 19th instant as a drawn battle, but in the engagement of the 20th Rosecrans suffered a d•sastrous defeat. His left and right were completely routed, and his retreat to Rose ville was conducted in g..eat disorder. The troops became disorganised, immense numbers running to the rear after the retreat. Baird's, Nagley's, Reynolds', Brennon's, and Harker's divisions alone retained cohesiveness, and took a position along the base of the Missionary Mountains for another fight, and held their ground against another attack by Polk's corps until the Con federates abandoned the contest. It is estimated that Rosecrans lost 50 cannon and 10,000 men killed, wounded, and missing, besides a large amount of material. Unless Rosecrans received prompt reinforcements it was feared he would be flanked and compelled to retreat across the Tennessee River. The Confederate generals Preston, Smith, Hood, Deshler, and Helm are killed, and Adams, Gregg, and Brown wounded. The Southern journals think that if General Rose crane is permitted to hold Chattanooga General Bragg's victory will be without profit. The accounts are conflicting concerning the num ber of General Lee's troops who were with Bragg ; but it is believed that General 14313'8 army has not been very materially weakened. The news from General Meade's army is meagre ; nothing positive being known concerning the prospects of an early engagement on the Rapidru, or of General Meade's intentions. Considerable cavalry skirmishing has taken place near Madison Court House. General White's Confederate eavaly have lren marauding In Maryland. The Southern journals represent the armies upon the Rapidan in line of battle with;n a few miles of each other. The Confederates hold all fords of the Rapidan in force. The Confederates are reported to be threatening the Federal lines in North Carolina. 2,000 of General Burnside's troops were repulsed in an attack upon Zollicoffer, in Tennessee. The Russian flag-ship Alexander Newsky, Ad miral Lae:Asti, with four other Russian men-of war, have anchored in New York harbour. It is rumoured they will remain there all the winter. The press urge that a hospitable welcome be given to the Russian officers. DTTZLLIGENCE. The stock market this morning is much lower. Michigan Southern fell 12 per cent.

It was blowing a pie from the and there wee a heavy sea runnieg at the time. The lifeboat et the National Lifeboat Institution stationed at this place was immediately manned and launched and pro ceeded to the vessel. When about two lengths from the brig the lifeboat met the crew in their longboat, and the captain sot liking to mom the bar in his own boat owing to the surf, the crew, six in somber, were taken into the lifeboat. and safely Laded into Rye Harbour. They were much ex- hausted from pumping, the reseal having six fest of water in her hold. After briuging the crew of the brig ashore, the lifeboat returned to the vessel, sod with the crews of two assisted to lighten her, and the next tide, the weatLer moderating, the yowl was got off the bar and brought into harbour."

THE LATE BALLOON ASCENT. 010 X ODE OWN 11217 . .) PARIS, TUISDAT Evrarnto._ To M. Nadir's short amount of the went of the "Giant" balloon (sent yesterday) he adds the fol lowing explanations addressed to the French papers: Allow me to add some explanatory details which appear to me to be necessary. My ;principal pre-occupation was whether the doable covering of silk, supported by the net work, would be strong enough to bear the terrible premise of 6,038 cubic metres of gas. There bad never before been any experiment made in those proportions except that of the famous City of New York, which burst like a bomb before it went up. I do not speak of other secondary difficulties in an operation of such considerable proper lions and Of such a novel character. Those multi plied difficulties prevented ns from starting until five instead of four, and then without having time to attach the compensating balloon, which would have required an other hour. For some of the spectators, it is, perhaps, wall to add that the interest of the spectacle did not lose much, as they would only have seen the balloon look a little longer and not quite filled. The compensating balloon is, In fact, only a prolongation of the other, and which would fill when the gm in the larger one dilated. The name it bears sufficiently shows the purpose for which it was in tended. I have been informed that some of the spectators calculated on seeing the balloon steered ; this ia an addi tional proof that the same thing cannot be too often repeated. It nevertheless appeared to me that all the journals had at great length explained that the theory of the steering of balloons was an absurdity ; that to contend against the air it was necessary to decide on being like a bird, heavier and not lighter than the air ; that the screw appeared to solve the problem ; that in order to make the costly experiment of a first aeromotive in practical proper. Lions, I had resolved to procure the necessary MOUTON, not by a public subscription, but by a spectacle interesting enough to secure the desired result ; that I bad, as the first subscriber to the screw which will conduct us in the air, in curred at my own risk and peril the expense of this giontic balloon, which will, I hope, be the last ; that this balloon is not therefore an object, but a means ; not the pima, but the prologue. lam willing, for the benefit of my beloved screw, to pledge myself to risk my boom as many times as may be necessary, but as to steering balloons, never! )(say persons were not able to enter the ground for want of a suf. ficient number of paying places. Thom persona might have secured tickets, which were to be had two days before all over Far!s. This does not prevent me from offering them my ' mauves, begging their indulgence for en unskilled director of spectacles, who is the find to suffer from their non admission. Some of the spectator; lam told, also com plain that the interred enclosure bad no mats provided. I am not aware that chairs were ever placed in the Champ de Mars for any public exhibition, any more than at Long champs or at Vincennes. I thought I was doing ► great deal in placing 2,000 metres of seats; for the ladies who find entered. The posting bills and tickets did not promise that. In order to Nattily everyone I shall endeavour to have seats for the second ascent, which will take place on the 18th inst. Interesting details of the ascent of the Nadar balloon, said to have been narrated by Prince Wittgenstein, are given by the France. The most extraordinary is that at half-past 8, when the balloon attained the height of 1,500 metres, the aeronauts saw the sun, which had set for the earth below upwards of two hours before. The effect of the light upon the balloon is described as something marvellous, and as having thrown the travellers into a sort of ecstacy. Although they met with co rain, their clothes were all dripping wet from the mist which they passed through. The descent was more perilous than at first reported. The car dragged on its side for nearly a mile, and the pas sengers took refuge in the ropes, to which they clung. Several were considerably bruised—though as before stated no one sustained 'any very serious injury. Everybody behaved well. Nader, visibly uneasy about his fa 4 r charge the young Princess de la Tour d'Auvergne, was told by her to attend to his duty as captain. "Every one at his post," said she, " I will keep to mine." Nota:th standing all the shaking which the car underwent the 37 bottles of wine provided for the journey were all found unbroken, and they were most joyously broached when the party got on terra firma. The rifles, the crockery, as well as a cake and 13 ices pzesented to Nader by Siraudin of the Rue de la Pair, were all uninjured. When the descent was effected the lights and the speaking trumpet soon attracted a number of peasants, who brought carts and helped the party to the village of Barcy, where most of them passed the night ; but M. Nader and the Prince de Wittgenstein, with two or three others, came to Paris by the first train from Meaux. It is said that the descent was resolved upon in consequence of the advice of the brothers Godard, and contrary to the wish of M. Nader, who, as captain, had made every one of his oompauions sign an agreement to act upon his orders, even though the vote should be unanimously against him. He, however, yielded his opinion in deference to that of these experienced aeronauts. A truly extraor dinary statement is that they fancied the wind was blowing them to the sea, and certain destruc tion, whereas they were going due east, with no sea at all before them nearer than the Caspian. There was great disappointment in the receipts at the Champs de Mars, which are said to have realised only 27,000 fr., whereas 150,000 fr. bad been calculated upon. The papers say that the public broke down the barriers and got in for nothing in stead of paying their franc. It is quite certain that at the moment of the ascent there could not have been less than 50,000 people on the Champs de Mare, and on the terraces and heights around there must have been four times that number. The Europe of Frankfort gives a circumstantial account of a proposition made by Lord Russell to the Austrian government, which was very ill re ceived by M. de Rechberg. The English minister, it is pretended, sent the draft of an identical note which be wished to be signed by France, Austria, and England, declaring to Russia that she had for feited all her rights to Poland uuder the treaties of 1815. It is a curious fact that 'the Pays, which bas recently contradicted in so positive a manner all rumours of fresh negotiations, deals with this in a singularly tender manner. It says it is " not in a position either to confirm or to •leny it." But it states (and this is a curious circumstance, if the news is true) that M. Drouyn de Lhuys knows nothing about it. It further observes, as a ground for doubt, that Lord Russell was not in London ou Sept. 30, on which day a telegram from him is said to have been received at Vienna, and it further thinks the English ministers do not send important telegrams abroad when they are absent from the capital. These are the "reserves" which the Pays thinks it right to make in reproducing the assertions of the Europe. It might, however, be suggested that, inasmuch as, according to the re iterated statement of the Pays itself, France is now waiting for some proposal from England and Austria, nothing is more natural than that those two powers should interchange ideas without 3f. Drouyn de Lhuys being kept informed as to what they are doing—so long, at least, as they base come to no decision. The Patrie says that Prince Czartoryski has made a formal application to the cabinets of Lon don and Paris, in the name of the Polish govern ment, demanding the recognition of Poland as a belligerent nation. At the Bourse there were considerable fluctua tions, but ultimately the Rente rose 25c. for cash and 10c. for account, and Mobilier fife. POETRY BY GAEIBALDI.

It was attended by an immense concourse of the people from an area of twenty miles around, withering about 10,000. The wee of the meeting was, perhaps, the wilder spot amoopt the Gables, being on the side—almost the summit—of one of the highest of the bills, itself known as Killeen. A flag sae raised oa an mai ' mace, bearing a representation of the tree of liberty, with h a rp beneath, and figures of St. Patrick and St. Golumb. kille at either side, the upper edge bearing the imeriptiom We trod the laud that bore us,' and the lower edge, • Salm Populi Suprema Les.'

The (`inmate said the shareholders might con gratulate themselves on the general prosperity of the bank. Every half-vear the proprietary was acquiring en enlarged basis, and there was a gradual increase in the deposits. Credit was of course the main source of Knew rity in every beak, and one of the hest securities (or the; was an imp!. reserve fund. Unhappily there was in the last year a loss of 50,(.301., which interfered with the object he had just referred to ; but in the dividend now to be recommended it had not been lost sight of. In the previous half-year there was carried forward 4,36 W. of undivided profits.

About 7 o'clock on Sunday morning the village of Rousted Mountfitcbett was thrown into a state of the rudest slum by cries for help proceeding from the mei dem* of Mr. Vi hite, an independent gentleman, residing on the Cambridge high road. midway between Newport, Essex, sod Bishop Stor tford. Several of the neighbours hurried to the spot just in time to assist in surrounding and cap turing a tall powerful ruffian, who was about escaping from the house. It appears that the servant girl came downstairs about the time above-mentioned, and on reaching the hall she found a seccetaire had been broken open, and the oututs strewed about. Seeing other things in a similar date, she returned upstairs and informed her master. Mr. White immediately came down, and, upon looking round the lower part of the house, found the cellar door open, whist' made him suspect that some one was still in the besea. The gamut procured a light, and, along with her muter, began to descend the stain, but had not gotdowa many steps when amen yelled out at them, and fired • pistol, fortunately without effect, though upon after examination it was found that the staircase was splintered, and a num ber of shot were picked up. Mr. White then hurried to the door and repeatedly called out " Murder !" bringing the neighbours to his assistance, when be returned to the snot with • inn, sod reinforced by the assietance of several of the inhabitants. 'Upon proceeding through the house they found that the burglar, armed with • loaded pistol, had reached the lawn, where be seemed uncertain which way to retreat ; added to which his exit was rendered next to rm. pomible by the presence of a very high wall to the ground.. He appeared to be determined upon resistanoe ; but, being surrounded, and Mr. White presenting a gun at his breast, be threw down the pistol and sin:endued at die crelics. The ruffian was taken into custody, and upon being searched there were fond upon him • peculiarly constructed flask containing powder. shot, and percussion cape, and a broken knife, which bed been used for effecting an entrance to the house, the remaining part of the blade being afterwards found by a constable under the deals/K -rum window where an entrance bad been effect< I. The man gave the name of Clement Fletcher, but obstinately refund to give any place of abut.. After entering the hones by the drawing-nom window, be appears to have taken Mr. White's gun, removed the lock, and bid it trader a mat ; be had then apparently been unable to continue his opentroou in the dark, and laid down upon the sofa to await the earning light. He had forced apse boxes end drawers, tea-caddiee. end work-boxes, in the drawing and dining rooms ; and strewn the contents in all ',inane% In the pantry be had broken open • box and eaten a portion of a pie. Yester day the prisoner was brought up at New port police-statioo, before W. C. Smith, Esq., the chairman of this divisional beech, charged with attempting to murder Mary Ann Bar nard—the servant girl of Mr. White—mad also with bur glary. After the evidence of Mr. White, the servant girl, and the polies constable, all of whom corroborated the above faces, he was folly committed for trial at the next Chelmsfeed wiass. Tess Poßructrusz Thus Auntor..—The master of this vessel, who ban just Manned to the port of London, having been absent from England with her since January, 1862, has called our attention to • paragraph in a letter from our Lisbon correspondent published on the 24th of March, 1862, objecting to Nevoid of the statements there made, as summons. It results from further information that oar correspondect was misinformed throughout with regard to this ship, and we regret having given publicity to hie statement or that we have not bad an opportunity of It at an earlier period. It appears that the A lipede left ti t. atluirines Docks about the 4th January, 1862, and smiled to the Downs with a pilot on board, but is cense (moos of bad weather she went into Ramsgate Harbour for shelter. Afterwards, from similar causes, she went into Plymouth and Falmouth, leaving the latter port on the 7th of February, 1862, and reaching Lisbon oa the 25th of the same month. There was therefore no grornd for the statement that she was "some six months" making the voyage. Neither the vessel nor the cargo see. tithed damage, as stated ; there wes no average paid, nor was any claim made upon the insurers, though the vessel was fogy insured. The Alipede was not ill-found, but was oomperstively a new ship, having bees launched in Sep tember, 1856, and all her riggiog end taskliog were com plete. All that was necessary for refit in the port of Leedom, wee done at the cost of, end paid by the *wows solely. The foregoing facts fully and entirely set aside the suggestion that either owners or master had been liable to the imputation of what is called "oconidellaa." The Alipede, rioce she left Leaden in January, 1862, bag been' ding in South America. THE WOLVERHAMPTON AND DUDLEY MYSTERIES. —At *salty of Gloucester polies court oo Monday. Thomas Courebill and Henry Barnes, alias " the Matchman," travel lers, were brought up in custody. Superintendent Gritfio, addressing the magistrates, said it would so doubt be in the recollection of their worships that • man named Chenerry was some time ago found dead io • house at Wolverluitup. ton, his body being far gone in • state of decomposition, and that a woman named Bosannah Steadman, who had lived with Chenet.y, was found dead in • house at Dudley, her body also, like that of her paramour, being much decom posed. Os Saturday night ,he (Mr. Griffin) new Churchill Mildew to a policeman at Gloucester. Churchill end Barites bad confessed to him that be was concerned in the Wolverhampton murders, and that he had seen in the papers that the police were in search of him. Both men were afterwards apprehended, sod the prisoner Barnes was found to correspond with the desc.iption gives of " The Matehman," the man who is stated to have cohabited with Steadman. He (the ruperintendent) bail written to Wol verhampton and Dudley, and asked the magistrates to order the primates to be detained until maim were received. Churchill begged that he might belied at liberty. Barnes wished to make • statement, but, having been cautioned by the magistrates. said he would defer what he had to say until he got to Wolverhampton. The prisoners were ordered to be locked up. Barnes told the superintendent that be is a native of Birmingham, and that be travels with riop and " Vesuvians," and hence the nickname of " The Matchntaa." Stumm FEVER AT EANTDOI'RNE. —During the path week or two quite a panic has been caused among the fashiouable residents at Eastbourne, in consequenoe of the alarming prevalence of scarlet fever in that town, and they have been taking their departure from it in groat number., much to the dismay of the lodging-house keepers. A num. ber of deaths have already taken place from this epidemic, and among those who have fallen victims to it are two sons of Mr. R. Hatihury, M.P. for Middlesex, whose family re side hero. Mrs. Haobury also died on Saturday last, although not from the prevailing melody, and much sym pathy is expressed for Mr. Hanbory under this severe be reavement. Eastbourue has hitherto been considered the mr st healthy of all the waterlog places, in consequence of the registrar-general's returns showing a lower rate of mar tality there than almost anywhere e h, Ti mm Tits GOATRUCKER. —The goateucker, a nocturnal bird, about the sine of a pigeon. has made its appeamace lively day for the last week or so. io • garden at Woolstooe, in Hants.
