part of it) is expected to he the most brilliant that has
been known for. many years. The two. Princes, Ernest

earlier this year than usual, in order to enable the two
Princes, and her Majesty's distinguished visitors at the
Castle, to enjoy the sport. The hounds are in good
health and excellent order. For some weeks past they

EVENING _EDITION.
I EARTHQUAKE IN SCOTLAND.

On Wednesday evening, about fifteen minutes past I
to n o'clock, a sl-e.ck of an earthquake was felt all over
this city, in Leith, Portobello, and Newhaven. It
continued for about fifteen or twenty seconds, And occa-
sioned a tremulous motion In the floors of the ',rouses
where it w.is observed, as if rocking up and down, ac-
cornpanied will) a rattling of the windows and an un-
dulating movement of the chairs, totally unlike any
other noise, or any shaking occasioned by the passage
on the street of heavy carriages. It was decidedly felt
in many houses, arid at exactly the same Time, in
various streets both in the Oil and New Town, and
occasioned no little alarm.—Edinburgh Courant
STIRLING.—About a quarter of an hour after ten
o'clock on Wednesday night, the &hock of an earth-
quake was felt at Causew.iyhead, distant rather more
than a mPe from Stirinz. It is said to have been ac-
companied b 3 the sarne rumbling noise that had been
described as attending the recent shocks at Crieff and
Comrie, and also to have been so severe as to shake
the houses, and, in some instances, to make articles of ,
earthen and crystal ware rattle and strike against each
other. The shock was felt, at the same time, in the
lower parts of Stirling—particularly in Cowan-street,
the Terrace, and Wellington- pia ce ; but it does not
appear to have "Yen nearly so violent as at Causeway-
head, and many places ajacent to it.
ALLOA.—Two Very smart shocks were felt here on
Wednesday night, the one about a quarter past ten,
and the other about twenty-five minutes before eleven.
The first, and by for the most severe of the two, indi
cat< d its approach in a loud noise something like distant
thunder, but much more awful and alarming. Many
people felt their beds considerably agitated, and furni-
ture of all kinds, especially crockery and clock work
(the weights) shook violently. House-bells in some
places were set a-ringing, and some people were so ter-
rifled as to run to the stre :Is. The second shock was
much slighter, but those who felt any of them, describe
themselves as beicg in the most disagreeable state
imaginable.

(Accounts from Kincardine and Fifeshire state that
the shocks were distinctly felt in these quarters at the
same time, and caused great alarm. In Perthshire they
have been frequent for fully ten da)s, but it does not
appear that any shock was felt on Wednesday, when the
earthquake was so gener.tl further South).

The Earl and Countess of Minto, Lord MO-

ATHENS, OCT. 9 —The names of the Com-
mittee for the establishment of a Greek National Beak
are just published ; they are as follow ;—Mea,re•
Hceslin (of the Trieste firm of Hceslin and Springer),
Rallis, Negris, and Durus. The journal at the tat"
time makes some observations on Messrs. Hammond
and Lloyd's proposal of an annuity for 14 years ; it is 11
thing so far from the comprehension of a Greek (wn°
under the Turks was never sure of his life for five on'
nutes), that they imagine it some of the unaccountable
plans of Regny and Co. for entrapping them into losing
at the end of 14 years the whole of their property :
"that Eynard," says the journal, " should invent such
things we can believe, but that an honourable English
banker can lend his name to such an invention is ire
credible." The day before yesterday being the Queen's
birthday there was a ball at Court. Among the
strangers were Lords Alvanley and Rokeby. General
Sir Andrew Barnard, with some other British officers,
are in quarantine at the Piraeus, on their return from
Egypt. The Austrian steamer arrived last evening,
crowded with passengers, amongst whom were General
Gcrdon. All the letters from Vienna state that Met-
ternich and all the Austrian statesmen giie it as their
opinion that war in the East is inevitable.
SUICIDE FROM LOVE.—A young man named
Joseph Moody, under-keeper to the Rev. Mr. Wight-
wick, of Brinkwortb, formed an attachment to the
daughter of Mr. Hunt, the upper-keeper, and for a time
obtained her affections in return. But the girl became
faithless, and transferred her love to George Ody, and:
this had such an effect upon poor Moody that he shot
himself. A Coroner's jury returned a verdict of "rel°
de se."—Devizes Gazette.

EARTHQUAKES IN PERTHSHIRE.-The fol-
lowing is a fuller and more particular account of the
earthquakes lately experienced in Perthshire than we
were able to give on Wednesday last. It is from the
pen of a gentleman who lives about six miles east from
Cowie :—On Thursday the 10th instant, between
four and five in the morning (he says), a shock was felt
by many persons, the noise accompanying which was
such as to induce the belief, at least in one family, who
were ignorant of the real cause, that.an adjoining house►
occupied by them as a workshop, had fallen to the
ground. On Saturday the 12th, at one o'clock after-
noon, a second shock was felt, accompanied by a very
long and loud peal, which seemed to proceed from the
hills situated to the west ; and two hours thereafter,
this was succeeded by a third, equal to or more severe
than the former. The clouds were low, and resting 00
the hills, with occasionally a drizzle. On Monday the
14th, at three in the afternoon, when the writer was
within doors, the well-known sound was again heard
approaching from the west. It increased in loudness
as it. drew near ; then something seemed to disturb the
foundations of the house, and to heave up the floor ;
the windows shook viol:ntly ; and the noise passed away
to the east or north-east, moving with prodigious velo-
city, until it was lost in the distance. All this might
occupy the space of half a minute ; the weather was
thick and hazy. This morning between two anc three
we had another shock, though not so severe as that of
Monday, The sound accompanying th'e earthquake
has been compared to thunder ; it, however, wants its
magnificence and sublimity. It is rather a stifled sound,
• and falls upon the ear like that produced by the first
shovelfuls of earth thrown upon the coffin when it has
just been lowered into a deep grave. It excit the
nerves disagreeably, and leaves a painful impressaeu-
Edinburgh Paper.
CATTLE SHOOTING. William Watts, tliC
Ulan who was detected in shooting cattle, at Buxsons
belonging to Mr. Mack, was put upon his trial at the
Nostol Quarter Sessions last week for that offence.
It will be remembered that a large quantity
of cattle
had been shot in the parish of Buxton, scarcely a day
passing without a horse, ox, or cow being found desd,
or in a dying state. This had created extreme alarm, in
the minds of the farmers, and the Norwich Pace
were procured to watch during the night, and detect
the infamous perpetrators of the outrages. Every sus;
picious person was narrowly watched ; but many day
elapsed, the outrages still continuing, without the ,ulsi
covery of the offender. On the morning of the iStrii°o-
August last, about one o'clock, the policemen on. -t"
watch suddenly heard the report of a gun, and oti
in the direction of Mr. Mack's fields, they saw a cow in
the agonies of death. They separated in different di-
rections, and one of them saw a man with. a.
gun skulking under the hedge, where he had been.
for some short time concealed. He followed him, and
with the assistance of his companions, captured Wino -
and he was safely lodged in gaol. The officers then
searched Watts's house. in which they found a Pullet"
mould, in which the balls taken out of the body of the
cosv exactly fitted. The prisoner was a returned ec'°-
vict, bearing a most infamous character, and the
cause of his vindictiveness appears to be his ha yin
been served with a summons by Mr. Mack. T:
prisoner, in his defence, denied the fact, stating that
he was only out seeing who was watching. The PI
found him Guilty, and the Court sentenced him t°
transportation for life. The prisoner asked leave to 90
a few words to the Court, when he acknowledged the
justice of the sentence, and said that the true; poor-
laws and the rates and taxes now imposed tiro) that
poor labourer drove him to dishonesty. He would no
see his children starve, while he was called on to Or
port full-fed relieving_ officers, and other officers OW
neuted with them and the unions.
POOR RATES.—On Thursday, at the
Petty Sessions, a number of the poorer inhabitants °f
the parish of Hayes were summoned to show cane! !*_lll
they had neglected to pay the amount assessed ot!....tn_e_::
for poor-rates. Among them was a man Darned
laud, who was summoned for three rates of Is Sd !the:tit
making a sum of 3s. 9d. The defendant pleaded
his his wife had just been confined, and that he i
rresxbridel
children to support out of Ids. per week, the toilante7,
of h's wages. Mr. Clark, jun. (one of the Magistr
said the defendant ought to have come before the
when others in the parish were relievea, and thenottu
er.
p'ea of poverty would hate been available. Thesap
seer said It was a case which he could conscientio
recommend ; but Mr. Clark said he, for one, coo
