SHOCK OF AN. EARTHQUAKE.--Two sharp shocks of

, O
DELAY OP THE MAILS.—A letter from the dun re'
cs- a
Post-office has been sent to the Corporation of re'
land, stating that "the extensive a ngementB
paratory to a general acceleration of the 1113,i,14„, the
London to the north are still in progress, and bntbscr
measures will not be delayed any loner than 'B," ter
lutely necessary." It is added that the Postlt; de'
General " sees no reason, at present, to change 'loan
cision in regard to the employment of the Great Nor ,gay
Railway for the conveyance of the mails."
therefore expect little change for the better.

SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE.—.Two sharp shocks OA
earthguake took place on the 12th at Ardbra, and
Unders-Vick in Sweden. They went from south to
north, and were accompanied by a rumbling noise re-
sembling thunder. A considerable number of windows
were broken ; several houses were slightly injured, and
some thick walls cracked. Oscillations of the soil were
felt in other places about the same time, especially in
the village of Jerisoo and Delebo. An earthquake in
Sweden, and at this season of the year, is considered an
extraordinary phenomenon.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—A rich farmer, named Denel,
of Champigny-les-St.-Maur, near Paris, was a few days
ago walking in one of his fields near a wood, when all at
once the earth gave way beneath his feet, and he fell
in. He uttered a loud cry before disappearing, and three
labourers who were near hastened to the spot. But as
they saw the earth falling in for a considerable distance,
they were afraid to attempt to render any assistance. A
gendarme, who was passing, hastened to the spot, and
in spite of the danger, seized a spade, and began digging
to get at the man. His example encouraged the labourers,
and they aided him, as did also some persons who came
up. But though they worked bard, it was three hours
before they reached the unfortunate man, and he was
quite dead, The falling of the earth was caused by
the recent heavy rains having soaked to a great
depth, and then filtered to a stone quarry at a short
distance,
