EARTHQUAKE IN CUENEMAE.4.

The bogs which were trotting about previous
to the arrival of the Kiiig in Ireland, hut, like other
perturbed spirit., ware lulled int.i repose during
the royal visit, are again in 'notion. The follow-
ing account is extracted Irma a provincial paper :
We are informed by a genilensan who r. sides in
this neighbourhood, and to Whom the circumstance
was related by one of the sufferers shortly after,
that a very calamitous event occurred, about ten
days since, iu Joyce Country, in chi. county, simi-
lar to the late movements of the bogs which caused
SO much alarm, and, as to its extent, equally as de-
structive. Upwards of one hutedied acres of the
lauds or Letterbricken, part of the property of the
Provost of Trinity College, prime pasture anal moun-
tain, on which a number of comfortable and indus-
trious tenants resided, commauc-d moving. and after
carrying before it huge rucks, large heap, of earth,
the entire crop of wheat, costa, potptoen, &c. together
with every other obstacle which was likely to impede
its progress, totally disappeared. Previous toil's move.
meat u great troi,e was for some time heard, resem-
bling that of divant thunder, and the earth because
convulsed ; in cousequence of which two poor nu-
ationecting people were filled with the most inde-
scrib.ble terror and 'alarm at the approachisig deo.
ger, in which apprr-heorove situation they remained,
silently g rzi rig on esels other, II sal I the sudden move-
meta of she niounirsio, carrying with it rocks, earths
and tillage, aroused them to a sense of their perilous
situation, and they them had the presence of m'nd
to t 'lse the stock from off the land, and remote
their little property from the direction which it was
likely to take. Thus, in the prssence of an asto-
nished roil paralysed people, did this terrific moving
mass I:marline in easy progress, until its arrival at
the brink of the sea, Iwo *inch it plunged with ra-
pid motion, leaving the whole route which it look,
• complete and flight fill waste, and a helpless,
homeless tenantry in a state of wretchedness, easier
to be imagined than described. 'nee only cause
which can be lissigtird for this tringobir and awful
revolution of the earth is this, that the great drourlit
which we had some time ago, parched up the snr-
face of slimy earth which entered these immense
rocks, the mouldering of which eitiised such cavities
its to force the mountain sway, it then not having a
sufficient bedding. Two days after the above sin-
gular and destructive Ir./Torrence,* large tract of
land, thickly inhabited, the property of It. Martin,
E.q. M.P. and in the same neighbourhood, was
visited with it I:ke phenomenon, but even of • more
destructive nature, as the loss of the wretched suf-
ferers in this ease was not cootissed to their laud/mid
crops. but their entire stuck and property were also
swallowed up in this dreadfnl and sudden earth-
quake.—( Teem Gazelle.)
