EARTHQUAKES IN ENGLAND. -- The recorded
cases of British earthquakes amount to In°1:
than 160, of which more than 40 have happened in the l°l.,
region so lately affected. The first recorded instance ie „'
A.D. 974, by Simeon Dunelmensis ; and the same autill'r
tells us that, in the earthquake of 1089, which occurred in
the third hour of the night, houses were seen to leap uP'
wards and return to their positions. In that of Dec. I°'
1117, which happened in the middle of the night, Mattheli
of Westminster declares that the " moon appeared the
colour of blood ;" but he outdoes this in his account of the
earthquake of December 5, 1274, which, he says, was se"
companied by thunder and lightning, a comet, and a &II
dragon. Polydore Virgil adds the phenomenon of "a r 31,3
of blood " in the Pays de Galles. But we will only qu°A
:
one more case, that of the fisherman of Oxford in the earth-
quake of 1683. The man was fishing on the Cherwell, wbE"
ho perceived the boat to tremble under him, and 44 thelitti°
fish showed signs of alarm." Even in works high in P°'
pular estimation the facts stated aro not strictly reliable'
For example, the evidence of Mrs. Graham (Lady Calle°l
has been adduced to prove that in the earthquake of 18'
the whole coast of Chili was uplifted from 4 to 5 feet, tb°
proof offered being the alleged fact that a ship of war in the
Bay of Quinten, which before the earthquake was an ise'
lated wreck, after the shock was accessible to persons free;
the shore. Against this we have the recorded evidence °cl
Mr. Hugh Cuming, the well-known conchologist, an
Lieut. Bower. If we are constrained to admit the pertas:
nent upheaval of land, we must seek a cause independent ol
earthquakes, which aro but the subsidiary and transient
phenomena of concussions or ruptures.—Lo)2don. I?,eviets•
