the Dominicans, and the house of the Conde de Sul terra, where

On Saturday, the 17th inst. about half past eight o'clock in
the evening, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt at ( ukt-
nock, near A and the neighbouriu,c plhces. At Leachills it
was so distinct and violent, that the inhabitants were very inn.7ll
alarmed. A loud rumbling noise was heard resembling thunder,
and the shock appeared to strike upwards from a great depth
in the earth : several persons were nearl}• thrown down, :11,1
great numbers of people left their houses in the utmort env:ter-
nation. In the course of about fifty mi►,utes after the tirq
shock, no less than thirty different lesser noises were heard: the
progress of the first seemed to be towards the North-west, hut
afterwards more to the Eastward, during which no damage
whatsoever was done.
