Seven Islands), dated June to, says, ‘.s Earthquakes are very freqUent here this year. Santa Maura (for. merly called Leucadij), and Zante, are particularly sajed - to them. The latter island appears to be quit e undermined, as the well of pitch and rosin is flowing continually. We experienced a consider able shock on the 7th instant, a ; midnight. our. ing a petted calm and suffocating heat, there arose a terrible blowing noise, which lasted two seconds ; it was followed by a violent shock, when the houses. shook, and beams and ceilings cracked. On a second shock, bricks and mottar fell from the ceiiings, bOlted dours,and windows burst open, the bells were set a ringing, and people could not stand upright. This scene of terror, lasted frill 30 to 40 seconds. Three hours after a second Earth. quake was felt, which, though pretty violent, was let's so and of shorter duration than the former.-- Earthquakes are so frequent here, that they are hardly noticed, unless they ate very powerful.• Upwards of an hundred have been felt here during . Is months ; but there were only four or five of them considerably vi lent: The present caused a Ittneral consternation, and called back to our re. collodion the terrible one of thirteen years ago, When the island appeared ready to be swallowed 11 P, the fortifications and many house s f e ll to ru i ns , andmany live s w e re loss. This time we got off with, only some walls a n d c hi mn i es t h rown d own, In ci . others- cracked.- Less violent shock's - Were felt O n the Bth, and . 9111, which lasted from six to ten se. while the heat was increasing. A traveller, Who returned this- day from Patrasso, in Morea, br ought us an-account of this phenomenon. He ar. rived at Patrasso, so hours sail frOm hence, on the eve ning of the 7th, but he remained on board of vessel, which Mot anchor moo pile's distant. , At midnight :the earthquake_ wasielt, the dreadful Wed s of which he is not able to describe.

Many peo. t i e lost their lives, and still more were wounded.

He began by boasting of his success on the day's Poll, and earnestly requested his Friends to attend at an early hour this day ; and in order to encou. rage those who might entertain some scruples of conscience about their right of voting, he assured their that they should have the assistance and ,ro tedion of Counsel. Sir FRANCIS then proceeded to• repeat some of the old contemptible calumnies and misrepresentations about. the Prison in Cold.. bath-fields; which of course met with the loudest applause from his friends, who had received their daily instruction not to suffer Mr. MAINWARING to be heard in reply. They 'obeyed their orders with great ex4lness, and.by their yelling, render. ed it completely impossible to hear one word which fell from that Gentleman..

It hail perhaps been too It istily inferred, that because the EMPEROR of GERMAN Y does nor date the pecuniary claims of this Countty, his trea. bury is exhausted. We hope that policy is clii flv the ground of his cunduti in this rear& I-Ic known that this Country its not in absolute want of the money, and •he too well knows that it is necessary to be constantly prepared against the artifices and the'ambition of Franc-. Though not in alliance with this Country in warlike operations, the EMPEROR is assured that Great Britain is still his friend, and would nut press any demand.that might be inconvenient to hint, and leave him without adequate resources against the possible hostilities of the most artful and unprinci pled Power in Europe. We therefore hope, that reasonable caution, and not absolute necessity, pre. vents the EMPEROR from discharging claims ho. nourably and unequivocally acknowledged. The Free Mason: are permitted to open their Lodges again in France, with all their former pri. vile:es, we find, provided they never presume to speak or 'write concerning religiOn,• morality anti polities. , This is a blessed freedom 0 . 'We should be gl .d to' know what subjeas are deft to them, exceot the fashion: ofdgess, and in that perhaps they arc pro. hibited from commenting on military attire, since it has entered into the sublime contemplations of the Emperor. In consequence of some. dispute at the late As.; sizes of Roscommon, a meeting took place, on Si. tutday morning last, in the demesne of Newpark, near Athlone, between 1?--s and P--x D-o, Esqrs. when, after exchanging a case of pistols ' each, by the last shot of which• Mr. D.'s side was grazed by Mr. IL' s b a ll, t h e Se_ minds interfered, and an amicable reconciliation took place. - * General FRASER is'to be second in command in Scotland, in the room of Goleta!

At the York Assizes, 7ollatban Ellis was tried fora rape on Elizabeth Widdeson, a girl aged tif. teen. It was an at} of coarse and brutal violation, the circurnstanCes of which we must forbear to de. tail. The wretch was found 'Guilty, and left fur ex. ecution. On . Friday afternoon a woman was• detailed, in Fleet.market, enticing children away in order to strip them of their clothes. One child was found on Blackfriars.bridge, anti another in Newgate. street, stript of their clothes. She was surrounded by a number cif market.women, who, instead of taking her before a Magistrate, took a summary way of punishing her, by throwing filth at her, &c.-=- She, however, escaped from their resentment by running. up Field.lane, and secreting herself in a house in Chick.lane. Yesterday sennight, about eight - o'clock, as Agnes Parkinson was going to the coal.pii,' with a . cart and horse (dn the latter of which she was riding) she met the Bentham waggon coming down Gray stop's Brow, near Wray, alai her hone taking fright. the cart-wheel got entangled with the trappings of the waggon hdrses, and came off, which caused the cart to.overser, when' she was thrown off the horse.
