IN WARSAW.

The following description of one of the late exe-
cutions in Warsaw is from en eye-witness writing
in the Schlessische Zeitung :-
1 bed been to the lye phases, and everywhere footed a
niuneroaa assemblage of apartetors. At length I proomded
to the Bank @gears to witness the execution of Kceinaki,
es he wee elated to be the youngest of the five who
were to be executed, sad I therefore expected that he
would show the least firmer. The procession appeared
about half-past else. It consisted of a common cart, oo
which Kosinski eatorith a Capuchin monk opposite to him,
both appearing to be deeply engaged,in confidential talk, and
a detachment of gendarmes and 11 blew. The cart stopped
at a stake near the Bank buildings, and a load ay of
anguish came from the assembled crowd. Koainald, a youth
of nineteen years at most, stepped quietly to the ground,
and looked around him In a friendly way and with evident
eslausess. His smiling free only bourne clouded wheat the
crowd gave vast to their emotion in load Grim and sobs.
At a signal front the commanding officer the bead began to
play, and an usher who held a paper in his head road with
• load voice something which was probably the sectesee,
but which was sot heard ea account of the music. It was
now • gamier to ten. The Capuchin monk, who had also
alighted from the fart sad bad placed himself sear Kosinski,
now gave him • small bleak araceix. Konteeki kind the
acacias revereetly, sad afterwards the meek's land. Two
provosts now led him to the stake, bound his arms lightly to
it, and tied a bandage over his eyes. While these terrible
preparatioas were going oa the handsome features of the young
man again cleared up. The officer nowgevethe word of core-
' mand, and 12 soldier' of the GrenadierCloard came forward.
I I dosed my eyes involuntarily, and only opened than after
I bad heard the volley fired. I sew the body of Katmai
dagger, and then slowly recover itself. Strange to say, the
grenadiers, Mather from awkwardness or on purpose, had
aimed badly and only hit the insfortinists mans legs He
was living still. Two soldiers the came close to him and
fired two or three shot' with their revolvers at his chest.
IThen only Kosinaki fall. The sound of weeping sad moan.
ing filled the air. The body was then taken up by the gen -
Idermas and thrown on the cart, which slowly drove away.
• The blood had flowed abundantly, and as some plaster bad
wow ea ea the stake, two plasterers immediately acre
I forward art plastered up the spot there and then. Per
bidden arms had been found on these young men—an
offence which, perhaps, deserved punishment, but surely
not that of death.

THE EARTHQUAKE YESTERDAY.

The earthquake yesterday was not felt in the
western part of England merely, bet throughout the country,
and even in the suburbs of themetropolia. Mr..l. R. Hind,
writing from the Observatory at Twickenham, says:—About
22 minutes after 3 o'clock this morning, Greenwich time,
the tremor of an earthquake was very perceptible here. It
appeared to me that the oscillatory motion was from E.N.E.
to W.S.W. lasting three seconds, or rather less. I heard
no sound whatever after the shock, but cannot say
positively whether any preceded it. The sky was
partially clear at the time, and the air perfectly still. The
semation produced by the tremor was very peculiar, and
differeat from that of ordinary ribcages." At Stoke New-
ington, • correspondent declares that at about the same
hour his bedstead was violently shaken ; and a gentleman
et Blackheath gives hie experiences with amusing minute-
nese of detail. "This morning," he says, "at twenty
minutes past 3 o'clock, my wife and myself, both having
been awake for some time, win startled by feeling our
bed move with an undulating motion, as if caused by an
earthquake. We iastaatly roused the family. fearing an
explosion of gas had taken place ; hat such was not the
case. One of our domestics, being two floors above, felt
the same kind of motion. Each bed is placed north and
south. There were four very distinct shocks in the span
al two wands. The motion was from seat to west, and
lett se if kw waves had succeeded each other at equal
intervals nader • both."
From Market Ha/borough, Bucton-npou-Treat, Hared
Hempstead, Hough, Stourbridge, Gloucester, Chelteabam,
Exeter, Cm:glass, Menace, Bristol, and Swansea, ander
amoeba have been received. At the Cheltenham Hama
College the heaviest pieces of f unitive were Never*

sad went into the streets to seeartain the canes. Great

consternation was caused at the county gaol, the ela'
being no tem intense on the part of the prisoners than cm
that of the governor and the officials, the latter believing
that the prison was about to fall. A like alarm prevailed
at the union workhouse and other public buildings. The
shock was felt at Swansea, Merthyr, Haverfordweat, and
Llanelly. It was most severe at Heath, Ferry side, and
Pembroke-dock, and along the western extremity of
Swansea Bay. The captain of a vessel reports that twenty
miles from billfold Haven he felt a concussion like striking
upon a rock.
We print the following commune:skims which we have
received from some of our correspondents ;
LINICRINX)L, TUESDAY.—At about 25 minutes put
3 this morning a severe shack of earthquake was felt all eve
Liverpool and the icorareliiite neighbourhoods of Obeehire
end Waterloo—indeed, according to ell swamis, the latter
place &Kean to have bees mach more affected by the shock
than either Liverpool or Cheshire. Although there wee rio
rumbling noise—such as generally accompanies ;dieseling*
of this kind—still the upheaving of the earth was decidedly
felt, and in some quarters rather uncomfortably. In the
vicinity of Egreenont and lewd, on the Cheshire side of
the Mersey, some people were nearly "frightened out of their
wits* on feeling their bode lase their emitomary equilibrium,
and hearing the crockery moving as if intent upon a
general smash up. The clocks, too, is many plum, unlike.
the beds and crockery, stopped immediately the aloe*
wee felt. Several night' porters were so alarmed at the
ceeillstion of the houses that they mule precipitate re-
JAM* A surgeon, who was wanting a Mel wawa at
Clitaighton, Birkenhead, so distinctly Mt the hoes shake,
and was so convinced of its peril, that he immediately
made for the street. At Bootle, Eudora, Waterloo, and
Crosby, the shock, it has been already observed, was very
violet, and many of the resident.' were much terrified. In
several booms the bottles of wine were shook out of the bins;
the bells set ringing; glares and other articles of a fragile
nature broken ; and, singular u it may appear, the hens
shared the fright of some of the household, and commenced
a most sympathetic cackle. In the town the shock was
also severely felt, and several public-houses in the neigh-
bourhood of the Exchange, flack vdlectreet, Everion, and
Kirkdals 'offered much in the way of glass. As far as we
au at present leant, however, m injury to the person has
bees sestaked, although we understand that there have
been mie or two cases of premature confinement.

Btawniouam.—The shock of an earthquake was
very distinctly felt at Birmingham, Wolverhampton,
and all the intermediate districts. It occurred at 35
minutes past three o'clock. There were two distinct
shocks, the second being the most violent; they were
accompanied by a low rumbling now—in axes localities it
was a grating sound. Walls were seen to move, windows
sad doors rattled very considerably, and mock of vibra,-
tioa was otherwise experienced. A great member
of pereoes were awoke tram their sleep, nee from their
bed; and examined their premier, the effects al the shock
beisg quite asjmuch seen as felt. At liendaweeth, Bar,
Kiermorton, and other of the rural districts, the shock was
mere perceptible than it was at Birmingham.
STAFFORD.—At twenty-four minutes pest three
a very decided motion of the earth was felt at thblbows,
and for acoasiderabla distance emend. A rambling noise
wee first heard, followed by a,strong vibration. Many persons
who were aroused from deep by the shock thought at first
that son., one was under their beds ; and in mosey eases the
curtains were seen to shake. In some otthe lestanoss, chests
of drawers were violently shakes, sad in the bard an hotel
the glasses jingled violently. At tin railway station the
lamps swung about with considerable violence, and an in-
spector, who had just gone home, and was taking off ha
shoes, went back in haste, fancying that there had been a
cellisiou on the line. At the gaol, the jingling of keys ex-
cited fears that an attempt was being wade by some of
the prisoners to amps. Several perms who did
act think of an earthquake were struck with an unusual
feeling of terror, such as this phenomenon usually excites.
At Goosall, seven miles west and at the Brick-hones, two
sad a bell miles to the north-east of Stafford, the shook was
plaioly felt ; aid also at the village of Deasy, at the ex.
treme north-west border of the county and aboot Z 3
wiles from Stafford. One person who was awoke before
the shock was of opinion that the vibration wee from east to
west A great number of persons in the town felt the
shock. A somewhat similar phenomenon was experisimad
at Stafford about eleven ran ago. Some persooksoticed •
slight vibration at about half-past one in the morning.
Woaessraa.—At 3.35 many inhabitants of this
city were alarmed by the violent shaking of their houses,
rattling of crockery and furniture, and oscillation of their
beds. The visitation was unanimously pronotumed to be the
remelt of ea earthquake. A rumbling noise, described as
being similar to that of a passing train, was also heard, and
many persons were so much alarmed that they leaped from
their beds. A similar shock wee felt some eight or nine
years ego, sad it is a curious fact that it was most severely
felt thee, as sow, on the 'coterie side of the city. Sonia
chimney pots are mid to have been throws down, but beyood
this no damage has been done, though the visitation is the
univocal topic of conversation here. The shock wan
felt sensibly et the surroundiug towns of Perdu:ire, Droitwich,
and Malvero. The weather yesterday was dry but cloudy,
Ithe barometer fell all day. bat an ran followed, and a sharp
frost Greened in the night.
