PROITVCIALS.

Oar readers have been infin used of the distress that prevails
In Stalfordsaire, but few of them are perhaps aware of the
eaten) of the distress in Shropshire. From an enumeration of
the iron furnaces, it appears, that out of 34, no less than •21
have been put out of will, and consequently only. Itt rue in
blast. The extinguished works eunsitnied not less than h0:10
• tons of coals per week; so that a corresponding number of
colliers are also destitute. Thai circumstanced, we have great
pleasure iu stating that some public-spirited gentlemen have
announced in the Nhrrirsbury Chronicle nit intended new road
from Coalbrook dale to Wellington ; and that it is undertaken
with the design of giving work to '• the poor men who are
• thrown out of employment by the stoppaee of the coal and
iron winks." Among the characters who have thus set tht•
example in Salop, the Member for Wenlock is conspicuous
by his subscription of 10001.—Hutwor to this good man!
A letter from Ely, dated Aug. 19. says—" On Tuesday last
Mr. John Hopkin, a small farmer at Downhain, near Ely, pat
a period to his existence, by hanging himself; lie had been
in a low and desponding way for some time, which is supposed
to base been brought on by the pressnre of the times. Au
intinest has been taken, and the Jury returiwit a vet diet of
laniacy.—About three months since, a farmer in the same
parish colinniited suicide under similar circumstances."
A few days since three men 'applied to a farmer near King-
anon, kurrey, for rinployinent, which he was unaule to give
them. On his rclits•tl, the,: requested they inig,lit ludas in hi.:
barn for the night, this hire agreed to; ow! haring suspicion
that they intended same depredation after th family had re-
tired to rt,t, he determiotill to listen to their coaversativa;
when he heard them say they had been totally w.ilioat utourlah•
meat fur several days. He immediately ordered them twine
bread, cheese, and beer, and, after having get them soar
clean straw, retired to rest. In the in.wnsilic he went to the
barn, and found than all dead. It is supposed they had eaten
too voraciously of the provisions, which caused their dissuiu-
' Lion.

The Rev. T. Fox, of Mapperton, Dorset, and Rector of
Temple and Abbas Conine, Somerset bas ilifonued the princi-
pal inhabitants of that place (through his son) of his intention
to reduce his tithes Al per cent. from the 2.ath of March last.—
It is not the tint reductiou of tithes that Christian liirister has
anode.
We trust it is unneeessary to urge sportsmen to postpone
the co.nriencement of the shooting season, for at least tie ee.
weeks or a month. A later season is not within the memory
of man, though we hope that there is the prospect of an
abundant harvest. Let not the hopes of the farmer then be
disappointed by the roaming of dogs and sportsmen through
the standing corn. Peruaps, for the present year, gentleness'
will, by common consent, agree that partridge and pheasant
-11.00 ting shall commence on the 'awe day.
That stupeolons undertaking, the Tunnel of the Tavistock

EARTINt7AKE IN SCOTLAND.

We have received accounts of the occurrence of a pheno-
twAton rarely experienced in any part of Great Britain.
On the night of the 15th instant, ab ,ut 15 or 20 minutes
before 11 o'clock, the inhabitants of the greater part of the
nor'' of Scothoid were alarmed with a small shock of an
earthquake, which has done considerable damage to many
buildings; but we •tre happy to say that we have• no ac-
counts of any lives being lost. The Caledonian Mercury
states, that the shack was also felt, in a slight degree, by
several personi in Edinburgh and the neighbourhood
Some of the letters more to the northward mention a se-
cond slight shock a few minutes after the one generally
felt.

ABERDEEN, Aur:. 11 --" It Is with feelings of the deepest
awe we have to star , tit it l.i,t night, about It o'elock, ash telt
of 411 earthquake was ili•titelly felt in the varMre. plat tere of
this city. It took place at four minutes hetore eleven o'clock,
mil continued, as nearly as we could estimate, attain six se-
conds. The undulation appeared to come from SSE. and was
simultaneously felt at the distance of some miles. in the dire...-
lion of NNW. From the late hour at which it happened, we
have been unable to collect, for this day's paper, the particu-
lars of those varied atmearances which it may have cubit)ited
in different quarters of the city. Where we sat, the house was
shaken to its foundation, the !waviest articles of furniture were
moved, and that ruinb:ing noixe was heard as if some heavy
body was rolling along the roof; in many houses the bells were
set a ringing, and the agitation of the wires continued visible
far sonie time after the cessation of the shuck. It has been de
sorbed to us, by one who was in Lisboa at that period, as ex-
actly resembling the commencement of the earthquake in that
city on the nth of June, Ida. A second, but more partial
shock, was felt at halt-past eleven ; since • which time we have
had no return of this awful and unusual visitation of Provi-
dence. The air, daring the night was load and calm, with
clear moonlight ; and the only appearance after the shock was
that of a thin whitish vapour settling on the surrounding bills.'.

PRIV VIE LETTERS.
MONTROSE, ASO. 11.—Last night; a few minutes Info e
II o'clock, a shock of an earthquake was most distinctly f t
here, which had the effect of seriously alarming many titiailies;
and many who were in bed were awakened by the concussion.
l'hose will had newly retired to rest were most sensible of the
shock, as they felt weir beds move, first in a horizontal direc-
tion, and then return to their former situation ; after which a
trenotlons motion was felt, as when a thing settle.s on its basis,
after being in commotion. Others describes titneffect as simi-
lar to that which Is experienced by the slight railing of a ship
at Std. The cilairs antirabies in many houses were put in nio•
tion ; and, in some cases, the leaves of folding talilisa were heard
to rattle ; the fire-irons in many instances rung against the fen-
ders ; and bells in rooms and passages were set a ringing ; in
many kitchens the cooking utensils and dishes mark amoise,
and neat morning many of the doors were fouuiLdiflicult to
open. One gentleman observed his book.-case move from the
wall, and fall back again upon it. It is impossible to describe
the state of alarm which mast people were thrown into by this
numnal occurrence. Many leaped front bed, imagining their
houses were fallinag ; while others ran &wit stairs in great
anxiety, supposing that same accident laud happened in the
lower part of their house ; as it did not readily occur to many
what wits the real cause of the motion they lilt.

REvxG ta. /4.—1 hasten to inform you of the cirenm.
stances of a phenomenon which took place here towards / I
o'clock last night. The whole family were su I.lenly alarmed
by a very smart shock of au earthqrtelte. Airs. L. had just re-
tired to her chamber, leaving Mrs. C. and me in the dining-
room, while I was employed drawing at a table, and Mts. C.
was Welkin:: backwards and forwards; when in a moment we
were alarmed by a tremendous rumbling noise, something re-
sembling that of a great many pieces of heavy artillery driven
farionsly over a vaulted pavement, but if possible still loudvr,
and•morc terrific. Instantly the whole fahric of the house be-
gan to shake, whilst ;tie rumbling noise seemed to be transferred
to the boors above our head,. 'Lite whole doors and windows
rattled; and the door and the chair on which I sat were h:•aved
powerfally and rapidly up and down muter me, SO that I felt
a. if sitting on straw, in a coo, dwelt violently over a rocky
road. The tamp before me seemed to dance before my eyes.
I instantly es.eluitited that it was an earthquake ; and Mrs. C.
who had twiee experienced its effects on the continent, agreed
wish mu. The whole house was instantly in confusion. Mrs.
L. came ranaing to the top ail* stairs, eacialenion with a<u•-
prise. Twat maid servants, who lay at the top of the beck
port of the house, were an akened Note a deep sleep by the
noi-e, and the movement of the Hear and their beds ; tied, pale
ulea:h, and shriekit:g with ;Alamo, rmhed 'down stairs in the
most horn ale apprcln•nsion, firmly persuaded that the day of
judgment was contr. I. a•ho bad jest got into .Ited, eared
out rite his bed anti the room were moving with hint ; and the
losirser cant, who sleeps in a paved room on the groimil floor,
haring just pill out his candle to go to bed, was heaved up and
dow•u in the same alarming way. I think it combined rather
more than three quarters of a minute, in such a way that I
hardly expectral that the house could stand its violence ; but
evert after the mare sensible effects of it were over. such doors
within the lonise as happened to be opened were mused rapidly
neckwurds and forwards, erg 'king mina their hinges. for a con-
siderable time; so twat the whole enditt nitre of the phenomena
might he about .1111111.12 C an I a halt. % wen:Ter:mauled that
the mirrors and furnitore in the bed-room must have been
broken, and the kitchen utensils shaktit down from the walls ;
but on examination no such damage seemed to have been done.
The sound and motion appeared to ha, e (mine iti a direction
from the north. The barometer, vinyl, was about 2l degrees
20 minutes, did n•it appear to be affected. Fahrenheit's ther-
mometer was 31 degrees. The night was cleat, and the 10000
bright.

Is venNEss, At 14.—About a qnarter of an hour before
I o'clock last night we experienced a s iolent concussion of the
cartpt. our principal steeple k a good deal injured, and a great
many chinmey-tops were thrown to the nuildie of the street:
bells were rims; by it, and bell-wires broken to pieces. Women
faimetl, and many were seen in the streets almost naked, call.
my out that their children hail been Idled in their arms. I
have not, however, heard otanyreal injury, t crept that done to
property : many lionst.s are ilaina.:eil, and almost the whole
were forsaken by the inhabitants, who fled from town, muter
an impression that, from the calmness and closeness of the
a second shock might occur. 1 had gone to bed here,
and beano to .deep. Auer the crashing noise, which lasted
for a roll minute, I never was so tossed on board a ship as I
was in bed, before I could rise, thr fall five minutes. At last I
rose, and went to my family, about two wiles oist of town, ai,il

found that two' &Mote servants had gone to bed with their •
mistress, but a lad rose to search .tbe house in case of fire.''
EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM IN V ERNES% RATED At G. 14 :
" Last night, exactly a quarter before 11 o'clock, the town of
Invovness and the surrounding country wan fearfully shook by
fine of the most awful phenomena in the dispensations of Pro..
vidcnce, an earthquake. C. and I were sitting chatting to-
gether after slipper, when we were suddenly startied.by one
of the most sudden and uncommon percussicns I had ever felt.
sod ulna' instantly %accented. to us the cause. I could think
of nothing that could give so good an idea of what we felt; as
that of a person 'whit seated on 'he liaek of a horse when ho
suddenly and violently shakes himself. We ile-w to the street,
where we found alinoit every iulianitant, WOMOO and children,
screaming, and a very comiiderabie prop root; al them naked.
Many Hew to the fields, and their remained fur the greater
part of the night. Chimney.teps were thrown down and
damaged in every quarter of the town. The Mason's-ledge,
occupied as an hotel, was relit from top to bottom—tba uorth
stalk of the chimney partly thrown down ; one of the coping
stones, weighing, I should think, from 50. to 60 pounds, was
thrown to the other side of the street, a distant* not less thrill.
60 feet. The spire or the steeple, which I think one of the
handsomest in Scotland, bits been seriously injured, and mast-
ic' pat t be taken duo n. The spire is an octagon, and within
5 or 6 feet of the top, the angles of the octagon are turned
nearly to the middle of the square or flat side of the octagon
immediately under it. What is more wonderfol than any
thing attending this memorable event, notwithstanding the
' vast quantities of stones- and bricks that have bean thrown
from suen iitunense heights, not one siogle person has.received
any hurt. I have only further to remark, that it was not
attended with :toy of those phenomena that have been said to
accompany earthquakes. 'the ilsy hot been beautiful and
serene. and still continues so: uo agitation er rising was ob-
servable in the river.

Similar
effect/ have been felt at Penh,. Ferree, I) es
