Two shocks of earthquake were felt at Bacherach,
Rhenish Prussia, on the 18th, one at six o'clock in
the morning, the other at ten ,minutes to eleven.
The oscillations only lasted a moment, and after
that the air became serene. The inhabitants of the
houses nearest to the Rhine heard a noise resem-
bling the fall of chimney pieces, or furniture in the
upper rooms. The steamer Hermann, which was
ascending the Rhine' at six o'clock, elt the first
shock.

Letters from Stettin to the 15th of the present
month, received by the Minister of Marine, state
that the frost had led to the suspension of all navi-
gation in that place and the other ports of the Bal-
tic. Snow had fallen in large quantities and very
generally in the north, particularly in Further Po-
merania, Silesia, the Prussian Provinces, and the
frontiers of Poland and Russia. The average depth
of the snow was computed at the lowest to be two
feet, and in some places it was as deep as eight or
ten feet. The railway trains had been much im-
peded by the snow, particularly to the north of
Berlin. .

The Vienna journals of the 22d state that Le-
bemji has been interrogated by the magistrates ap-
pointed to investigate the late attempt on the Em-
peror of Austria. He declared that "he had been
pondering over the necessity of assassinating the
Emperor for the last two years." He is described
as being violent in his demeanour to the examining
magistrates. He is vulgar in his bearing and totally
without education. His face is small, sickly-
looking, and he has long hair. He appears to have
been abandoned to himself from his infancy. His
interrogatory lasted the whole night. In the
course of it he fell into frequent contradictions,
and he made furious declamations against the state
of things in Hungary, and especially against the
gendarmerie. At first he did not give his real
name. He wore a Hungarian hat and was decently.
dressed. It has been ascertained that he has al-
ways displayed a great a'version for work, and has
never lived long with the same master.

graphic dispatch announcing the attempt on the life
of the Emperor of Austria, Prince Albert of Saxony,
who was at the time at Brunn, received directions
from the King by telegraph to proceed at once to
Vienna to express to the Emperor the congratula-
tions of the King of Saxony at his Imperial Ma-
jesty's escape."
The King of Prussia, immediately after receiving,
the news of the attempted assassination of the Em-
peror of Austria, sent one of his aides-de-camp to
Vienna, with an autograph letter of condolence.
General de Kaltenborn left Cassel on the 20th
for Vienna, charged to express to the Emperor the
satisfaction of the Elector at his IVI ajesty's late for-
tunate escape.
