SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE AT NOTTINGHAM.—
Mr. Lowe, of the Observatory, Benton, writes to the
IVottinglusin Daily Guardian as follows :—" Sin—Three
slight shocks of earthquake occurred here this (Monday)
morning, namely, at lb. 18m. a.m., lir. ;ism. 20a., and at
lb. Wm. 10s. Each shock was accompanied by a faint
noise in the N.S. W., sot unlike that of a distant railway
train. The sensation of mstiou was more that of a tremble
then of actual movement, and the second shock was the
strongest. The earthquake pendulum was moved in the
direction from N. to S., but the displacement of chalk was
small. The noise hosted fur two seoonds in the first two
shocks, and only for one and a-half seconds in the lest.
This is from ►cats' measurement of time, as during the
last two shocks I was observing the hands of my watch.
The night was cloudless and foggy, with N.N.E. wind. The
air was perfectly calm, with severs rime frost, the tempe-
rature at four feet being L,k0.2, and on the grass 17.3

SINGULAR TERMINATION OF A Fox HUNT.—The
Christmas meet of Mr. Johnstone's hounds (Harken',
North Hiding) terminated in a remarkable manner, and in
a curious geological discovery. After a run of an hour and
thres•quarters, the fox earthed on the Croseeliff Moors, in
what was supposed to be a peat bole, bat which turned
out to be a chasm io the ruck, of a depth quite unknown, sod
a totally unsuspected place. Into this uerrow fissure four
of the hounds followed the fox, and felling in became
tightly wedged between the two walls of rock. The dogs
were far out of reach, but by no means at the bottom.
After toiling away night and day, and making a sew
opening into the cave one bound was " soickled " out
with a noose over his head, after about 24 hours
imprisonment, and another was also released the next
day. The two (Ahem were given up as lest, but, singularly
enough, they seemed to have thinned with hunger and to
have either got further down and escaped by some unknown
subterranean passage or to have got out at the top. To the
surprise of everyone they returned home by themselves
after some days' absence, being vary thin rod poor, and
very mach chafed on their sides' with straggling to free
themselves. 11 is surprising what objects of wonder the
imprisoned hounds have become. As for reward, cothiug

TURIN, Deo. 31.
Monsignori and cardinals are rubbing their hands
with the greatest satisfaction, and telling every
o
ne, both in their conversations at Rome and in
their papers, that Pius IX. has struck • great blow,
and that his Encyclical is likely to produce the
almost sensation among faithful Roman catholic*.
The long and absurd declaration of the Vatican is,
according to the intelligence I have received this
morning from Rome, merely the forerunner of a
solemn interdict which the Pope has already made
up his mind to proclaim against Italy, should the bill
on the suppression of ecclesiastical corporations
become law. This interdict, according to my in-
formant, will be, as the Roman clergy my in their
jargon, local not personal ; i.e., it will not include
the chapels of the bishops and the mates. It would
be more felt by the Roman oatholios than a meg-
gime excommunication, which chiefly falls on
parsons rather than on the churches. The Roman
court hopes that such a wide interdict is likely to
produce a great sensation, and create enormous diffi-
culties in the path of the government of this coun-
try. lam sorry to say that were the Pope realty to
proclaim it there is no doubt it would afford a
pretext for popular disturbances--especially in
Southern Italy, where the population! is completely
under the thumb of an ignorant priesthood.
The semi-official paper, the GazzeUe di Torino,
has undertaken to prepare the Italians for the par-
don the King will grant to the two brigands La
Gala to-morrow. I was not mistaken when I said
that these two criminals would not be executed, for
they were given up by Foam° on this express con-
dition. People here are angry, not because mercy
is shown to the La Galas, but because the irres-
ponsible authority of the King was implicated by
the late ministry in this unpleasant affair. It
seems now that Signor Minghetti, fearing the effect
upon the country when it became known that the
ministry had accepted the condition imposed by
France, thought to get out of the difficulty by ad-
vising Victor Emmanuel to write an autograph
letter to his Brother of the Tuileries promising tol
spare the life of the two ruffians who had
been forcibly taken from a French steamer. When
La Marmon' came into power he was nor informed,
people say, that the King bad made such a promise
to the French Emperor. As soon as the Court of
Causation confirmed the sentence of death
by the lower court on the two brigands, ost
Vaccat the Minister of Justice, brought before the
sovereign the decree of execution. The King then
remembered the letter he had written to Napo-
leon lIL, and the solemn promise he had made.
The archives of the Foreign-office were examined
by General La Marmom's order, and at last the
draft of a despatch was found in which Signor
Visoonti-Venosta stated to M. Dronyn de Lhuys
that the King himself wanted to settle the La
Gala affair with the Emperor. The present
cabinet then referred the wholeA,matter to the
diplomatic advisers of the cMern, Contenzioso
Dspionlatieo, asking its advice. This body, under
the presidency of Senator &lop* 'answered that
Miughetti's cabinet had no power to accept the
condition imposed by France, because it was an in-
fringement of the juridical authority of the coun-
try, and that the means adopted by the cabinet—
cc, to induce the irresponsible sovereign to pledge
his word that the two supposed criminals, if sen-
tenced to death by the law courts of the State,
should not be executed—were unconstitutional. But
the King had solemnly promised, and nothing was
to be done but accept what his Majesty bad been
advised to do, and grant a pardon to the La Galas.
This it what will be done to-morrow in site of the
opinidn of the Cosstensioso pifsiomatseo. Count
&lop* on hearing that the decision of the body he
'presided over • would not be enforced, has
thought proper to resign his charge. Although
this incident will not lead to anything serious, yet
it will increase still more that feeling of animosity
which exists in Italy against the undue interfer-
ence France is charged with exercising over the
internal affairs of this country.
Brigandage has happily received a new and more
important blow in Southern Italy. At the end of
last week au expedition was successfully carried out
by General Pallavicino, when four chiefs, together
with a host of minor brigands, were either killed or
taken prisoners. The late exploit& of this clever
officer will furnish a new and interesting chapter to
Count Maffei, who, I see by the 'English papers, is
about to publish a work on this terrible scourge of
Southern Italy.
Although much has been written on the subject
of Neapolitan brigandage it has been chiefly in a
desultory form, scattered 'through the columns of
newspapers or to be sought in parliamentary reports.
The subject is sufficiently interesting to deserve
treatment in a shape more compact and more con-
venient to the general public, and this has been done
in a book recently brought out in England, copies
of which have already found their way here, and
been eagerly read. "Brigandage in South Italy," by
David Hilton, bears upon its title page a quotation
from the reports presented to the Italian parliament
in May 1863, and its author, in his preface,
acknowledges his obligations to that and other
reports upon the subject, as well as to the works
of Marc Monnier and others. He traces from its
earliest times the progress of Italian brigandage,
and he particularly explains the causes that have
made it so formidable since the Bourbons' Italian
dominions came under the sceptre of the house of
Savoy, and also suggests the means by which he
deems that it may most successfully be combated.
By all who take an interest in the subject, whether
in a political point of view or as a strange and
romantic historical episode, Mr. Hilton's volumes
will be highly appreciated.

THE SUFFOCATION OF A CAPTAIN AND MATE AT
CaUDIBT.—The inquest on Captain A. Wirt*, of the Rus-
sian brig &victor, of Wyburg, sod the mate of the same
ship, whose death, by suffocation were reported yesterday,
wee held at the New Dock Hotel, Grimsby. Thomas Har-
riman, the cook, said that on Friday evening, about eight
o'clock. he took the supper into the cabin. The captain '
seemed to be quite well. There was a coal fire in the stove
at that time. He entered the cabin at half-past six on
Saturday morning and found the captain laid upon the
floor dead. The mate might have put wood upon the fire. He
did not come on board till 11 o'clock. Mr. Moody, surgeon, maid
that he had made a post mortan examination of the two
bodies. The lungs of each were gorged with blood. The
room win almost air-tight,without ventilation of any kind.
He should think the mate had died 'sleep, for the bed-
clothes were unmoved, but the captain bad to all appear-
ance ariseo from his ranch and got almost to the door, when
he had fallen powerless to the floor and there died. Both
bad, in his opinion, died from inhaling carbonic acid given
out by the wood burning in the stove. The brother of the
captain said be took supper with the deceased. Near 10
o'clock witness put some orals on the fire. In Finland it was
the custom to place a cap on the funnel at night to keep the
heat in the room. The captain would not let him put the
cap on, but gave orders for the watch to put it on shortly
after. Witness's berth had noconocction with the cabin.
The seaman who had the watch maid he did not go into the
cabin when told to put the cap on the funnel. He thought
the fire would have burnt out. There was no ill-feeling be-
tween the captain and anyone on board. The captain, his
brother, and father had shares in the veuiel. The captain
was forty years of age, married, but without • family.
Verdict—' Died from the effects of inhaling carbonic arid
cs, arising from a stove in the cabin.”—Eastern Morning

ANOTHER DEATH IN THE SNOW. On Sunday,.
the inhabitants of Alytb were thrown into considerable ex-
citement by the report that the body of a female bad been
diacovered lying on the railway, with life quite extinct.
Yr. Jamas llDGibbon, the parochial inspector, Dr. Kidd,
end a policeman, last no time in going to the spot, and a
tart being procured, the remains at the poor woman were
conveyed to the pariah of Ruthvel. It turned out that her
name was Catherine BMW, a mill-worker, She wu about
60 years of age, She had been in Alyth late on the previous
night, and it Is supposed she bad fallen going home, and
lung unable to rise, the intenee frost bad caused her
death. —Scotsman.

INTERMIX° DLSCOVIRY AT GODAL3IING.••-•
At the back of Erith-bill, and overlooking Farb-
oombe, Mr. Murray Marshall has erected some villa
residences, which are, we understand, to be fol-
lowed by others. Near one of theme, which will
soon be ready for habitation, some workmen have been en-
gaged is excavating drains, AA. On Tuesday hist, while
engaged in this work, they tamed up a number of bona
within a dozsa yards of the house. The appearance of
these bones excited the attention of the men, and on
Wednesday, when Mr. Marshall visited the place, they
informed him of what they had met with, and showed him
that there was • bole leading into some cavity in the
earth. Mr. Marshall directed them to clean the place out
and see what was in it. They aooordingly did so, and have
brought to light • circular cavern, 81feet in diameter, and
60o11) 12 or 14 feet high, the interior of which was filled
with a large quantity of bones imbedded in the soil. ?art
of these bones were sent to Mr. Marshall, part are lying on
the ground beside the entrance to the cave, and part of
them have been carried ass curiosities by those who
have no idea of the amount of interest attaching to the die-
eovery which has been made. It is to be matted that Mr.
I Marshall did not stay the excavation till some scientific men
could have bon present, and that some greater care is not
; taken of the remains till they can be examined by the
sara vs. The bones include skulls (perfect in some cases),
'crakes, ribs, leg boner, &c., of salads of various sizes
and species. Among them appear to be remains of squirrels,
foxes or wolves, wild boats, and much larger animals.
Whether any human bones are included it will be for the
scientific to ascertain ; and we hope that the discovery will
gain attention before the collection is battered. We sar-
i gest that some of the best preserved specimens should be
placed in the Guildford museum. The workmen are of
opinion that the alarm to the cave has been at some time
or other artificially secured, as there appear holes on either
side as if made by posts decayed long ago ; tied that the soil
laround the =elk has been disturbed, or the month closed
up with soil unlike that which surrounds it, at some re-
mote period. There is, however, no hoax in this osee, and
these conclusioes are open to question.—Sumez Advertiser.
