CALCUTTA, OCTOBER 1, The following is a curious specimen of the Eng lish style of a native writing an account of the earth quake Last night I came from office; then' we get durtee up, ground so much shook ; water jar is broken; all women and children run away, man understand this thing, only GOD. Lamp is cracke.i. Goat is gone away ; all the persons is much frightened." * This earthquake, we observe, from the different accounts, extended even farther than was originally stated. At Surat, the shock was very severely felt ; . and, in the fainous city of Ahmedabad, it s% as so violent, that the proud spires of, t) great mosque, the Juma Musjid, erected by Sultan Ahmed, King of Guzerat, the founder of the city, were tumbled to the ground. Five hundred natives, assembled at a marriase4east in Bhooj, were smothered in the ruins of the falling houses. The shock was felt so far north as the valley of Nepaul, FATAL BOLDNESS OF A TIGNA.—The following is an extract of a letter from the Captain of the brig Salamanca, going through the Sunderbunds to Buck ergunge, on the btli of August:—" We have had the misfortune to lose one of our men, taken out of, the boat by a. tiger, when pulling up, at least twenty feet from the jungle, and not more than fifty from the brig. The animal leaped into the boat, seized the niaii pulling the bow oar, badly wounded another with his clams, ansi in one spring, with the man in his mouth, reached the jungle. It is singular, that he never made the least 'noise when hp sprung into the boat." Aestity Housp..—The superb display closed on Moaday last.

At four o'clock the crovid•was excessively great, probably in expectation of Sir Francis.Burdett's last address to the Electors during the present, Election. The only remarkable exhibition we observed was, the device exhibited from the opposite boeths just as the candi detesmade their appearance. A real lamb's head, with a real rat in his mouth, was stuck upon the head of a pole. From the rat's tail hung a cock's comb. On the lamb's head was placed a lawyer'S' wig, surmounted with a fool's cap. A board placed immediately belew the head, was inscribed in front : " Behold the ratting lamb, wit!l a cock's , comb' at his tail." On the other side the inscription was— " If silly lamb's will go a ratting, • 'Tit fit they get this sort of h.-Acing." The state of the pen was received wiilillated and repeated cheers. Sir FAA MIS . ilv an Err - - - - Jam; Cam rioannoss, F-sq. - - - lionc.strable Gephos LAsto. - - - Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was received with cheers and acclamations. The state of the poll this day, as they saw, continued quite satisfactory to all par ties. It was quite satisfactory, no doubt, to M. Lamb, who this day continued obtaining that pro perky to which he was entitled, and which he had obtained during the contest—(Great laughter aad 'applause).—Every day he would be more and more depressed on the poll, and more and More elated by those hopes, those buoyant hopes, which he Lad entertained yesterday, and which he would have equally good ground for entertaining to the conclu sion of the contest (Much laughter).—A great many of their friends were so persuaded of the correctness of the opinion that thee would he triumphant, that 'they did not think it necessary for theta to make any effort, or to put themselves to any trouble. This was the reason that more had not been polled to-day, as he had been told by the canvassers; but when he considered the numbers already polled, and when he considered that their friends had regularly kept at the head of the poll, and that no advantage had even for a day been gained against them—unless something very unexpected should happen, he had no reason to believe that there would be a very heavy day's polling again during this Election. Yesterday he had mentioned the story of the hare and the tor : toise. Mr. Lamb had said, that according to the fable the tortoise had won. He was right according to the fable. But they resembled the hare in speed, not in supineness. They would not sleep, and give the tortoise time to pass them—(Load applause):— If some slight turn should by accident be given to the poll, of which he entertained no apprehension— but if, according to the idea of the honeSt friend whom he had met, Mr. Lamb should get one a-head, that would produce an exertion which would afford another day's heavy polling. At present, they had only to continue as they were. It was not on one day's poll that they were successful, but regularly ; every day's poll . was well filled. Mr. Lamb had polled better than he (Sir Franck) had expected, but still his best hope wee despair. It was unpossilrie for any but Mr. Lamb to feel any hope in his Fiala tion—(Clicers). But the Electors would continue their exertions. ' The contest concerned them much more than any individual who stood before theni there as a Candidate—(Applause).—With respect to the great question of the poWer assumed by the House of Commons to commit to prison without trial, Mr. Lamb had told them, that the road to fame with them was, through the gates of a prison. In bad and arbitrary times, persecution was always the road to honour and distinction--( Very great ap plause).—lt was no bad argument in favour of an in dividual in such times, that he had suffered in a pub. lic cause—(Applause).—Mr. Lamb might, if he thought it necessary, mention this subject, and lay stress upon it ; but the individual in question had ' never intended to mention, and never meant to lay stress upon it. But that individual knew they bole it in mind, and the sympathy of enlightened and in dependent men, was a great consolation in times when undeserved inflictions were suffered in the pub. lic cause—(Great applause).—Mr. Lamb had said, and unsaid, that Mr. Hobhouse ought to have been committed to prison--(Laughter).--Mr. Lamb thought, what no other man could think, the House of Commons the Temple of Virtue—(A laugh).— But if it Were even the Temple of Discretion, it would not have used arbitrary and violent means to redress its own wrongs, if it had really received any wrongs (Applause).—Mr. Lamb had said, that there was no doubt, had Mr. Hobhouse expressed a wish to be brought up to the bar of the I louse, his wish would have been granted. This was not to the purpose ; whet they contended was, that he, that no English man, can be committed—least of all by the' Iguse of Commons, who ought to protect the People's rights, upon a charge without evidence, without inquiry into its nature and merits,' and without trial of its troth or falsehood—(Loud cheers).—That was one great important principle which they were main,- taining at this Election, and against one who thought the power ought to be exercised, but with mercy.— Suca a power could not be exercised with mercy— (Appluuse).—As if despotism could consist with mercy. It- was impossible to conceive despotism but ' as a gross and outrageous wrong to the individual who suffered under it—(App Buse).—Mr. Laalb bad said, that Mr. Hobhouse's iiiends had a iSlied 'rather to send him to Nemigate, than to have hi,n prose, cuted by the Attorney-General. He confessed that ' he would rather sefier imprisonment lions the House of Commons, than in coasequence of a verdlt ob tained on the prosecution of the AttorcepGeiteral ; because, when he was imprisoned by the usurpaticn of the House of Commons, all their power ceased when the House broke up, and he was released with out giving thanks to them.
