THE EARTHQUAKE.

Communications giving the results of personal
sapssiseess of the earthquake as Tuesday lest AM 0011211 to
head tom the province& We subjoin a few of then :

SOUTHAMPTON. —Our own correspondent writes
that Oaptain Goodridge, the commander of the mail packet
Southampton, left Havre for thia port at midnight on
Monday, and when about 30 miles from Havre he expe-
rienced, as he was standing on the bridge of the steamer,
a peculiar shock. He thought at first that something wee
the matter with the engine, and went below to inquire.
He then looked at his watch, and found that it was about
20 minutes peat 3. At West End, a few mile* to the north-
' mat of this town, the earthquake was felt. In one gentle-
man's
house there the crockery rattled to such an extent
that some of the inmates got up to see what was the matter.
At Warmish, near k'areham, in Heats, the shook was
so obviously felt, that some of the inhabitants; as
soon as they got up the next morning, declared
that an earthquake had taken place during the
night. Mr. Stroud, the toll-keeper of the Southampton
Pier, states that he was standing in the toll-house on Tues-
day last, and ones daring the day he felt the house rock is
such a peculiar manner that lie remarked to a gentleman
standing by that the motion was like that of an earthquake.
This is important, an it shows that besides the grand shock
on Tuesday morning, the earth sensibly trembled at a dif.
tweet hour. It is mumiaed that the earthquake is coinci-
dent with an eruption of some volcano. It would be a mat-
ter of great importance if the time of the shock at a few
places could be accurately ascertained, so as to know the di-
rection and speed of the earthquake. The most likely persons
to give information on this point would be engine-drivers
who were travelling between 3 and 4 a.m. on Tuesday.
Eezthquake shock, also cause clocks and watches to stop •
and if in any instant), suck has been the case, this wonbi
give the necessary information. The effect of an earth-
quake at sea is oftentimes most curious. The shock is as
if the ship streak suddenly on a rock. This can be only
effected by the earthquake wave an it proceeds onward
driving the sea violently against a ship and suddenly stop-
ping it. During yesterday the wind here shifted to all
points of the compass.

MaNcimrraa.—A correspondent at Manchester
says the shock during Monday night was distinctly felt by
a number of people in that neighbourhood, but apparently
not so sensibly as in some other parts of the ootuatry.
similar shock is spoken to by several people as having bees
fall at about ten =Unto' to eleven o'clock on the previous
Ftiday night. One gentleman describes the tremor of the
earth as something like that he has felt at a railway eta-
tion when a heavy train has ben 'parsing, and be says the
shock wee accompanied by a gnat noise and the shaking of
the dean and windows.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BEDFORD RACES.-Tuu asDAY.

The weather was much pleasanter than on the opening
day, but there was an evident falling off in the attendance.
The racing, which will be found fully detailed below, with
one exception, was not productive of exciting finishes.
Though Imbue was said to be •• coughing" .he was very
freely supported by her owner and the stable, and the easy
manner in which Gibraltar cantered away from her end
Blondin at the finish stamps him as a really good horse over
a long course. The features of the betting were the
" rualies" made to be on Limosina, who was installed first
favourite for the Cesarewitch, and the exchanging of posi-
. twos of Lord Coventry's pair, Umpire and Emblem. Fan-
' tail and ltomanoff were in better odour, and the others
remained as previously quoted. Subjoined are details of
