THE EARTHQUAKES.

The late earthquakes reached India. Advices from that
empire state that on the night of the 12th November a very
severe shock of earthquake was felt at Peshawur. It was
unusually severe, so much so that many persons sprang
from their beds and rushed out of their houses. Walls
literally trembled, and some damage was sustained. The
shock lasted, it is said over sixty seconds. On the same
night, at Fort Attock also, a smart shock was felt. A
severe shock of earthquake is reported to have oc-
curred at Dora Ismail Khan also, early on the morning of
the 12th i stant. Lahore experienced a shock of an earth-
quake on the night of the 12th, shortly after midnight; the
vibrations lasted about four minutes. Jubbulpore, also,
was visited by an earthquake at about five o'clock
on the morning of the 17th instant. "The shock,"
says the Delhi Gazelte, " lasted about a minute, and
though not severe was very distinct and generally
felt. Charles Dickens must have felt a similar shock
in England, when he described it as a huge beast shak-
ing himself under the bed, and our informant says
he cannot give a better description, unless it be the effect
of heavy thunder on the hills. Some of the natives in the
city are said to have rushed out of their houses to look for
the locomotive engine, which they believed had got loose
from the railway station."

THE CYCLONE IN THE BAY OF BENGAL.

The cyclone which swept over the eastern side of the
Bay of Bengal is described as having been terrific, blow-
ing down some of the oldest trees at Akyab, and causing
great damage to property of all kinds. How far the crops
had suffered it was impossible to ascertain. The lines of
telegraph to Calcutta and Rangoon were both completely
interrupted. Several casualties also occurred amongst the
shipping. The mail steamer Bush eer, which arrived at Akyab
from Rangoon on the 12th, was forced from her moorings at
the landing pier, and driven on shore with considerable
damage. The British barque Duke of Northumberland,
which was loaded ; the British ship Naomi, about two-
thirds loaded ; and the, British barque Volunteer, which
had lately arrival in ballast, were all driven on shore,
and the latter so high that it seemed doubtful whether
she could be got off again. The native shipping and
smaller craft were all driven on shore or sunk, in some
cases with loss of life. The Government steamer Nemesis
escaped without damage, and she was the only vessel of
any kind left afloat in the harbour. After the cyclone had
diminished she was engaged in trying to tow the other
vessels off the shore. A few days before the cyclone there
was a gale from the east, during which the British ship
Clasmarden, 1,598 tons register, sunk at her anchors out-
side the port, where she was waiting for instructions from
home, and nine of the crew, which consisted of twenty-
nine men, were drowned.

CANTERBURY HIILL.

Last evening Mr. W. Holland, the proprietor of
this the oldest and one of the best of music-halls,
gave a full dress hall, which, notwithstanding the
unfavourable state of the weather, was very fully
attended. The decorations of the hall were of the
most elaborate and splendid description, and on no
occasion, not even excepting that of the ever
memorable Belgian ball, have the Messrs. Defries
performed such wonders as regards crystal illu-
mination. All the splendid trophies used
by them in celebrating the majority of the
Marquis of Bute were displayed either in the ball-
room or the saloon adjoining, and elicited universal
admiration. The ball was under the direction of a
number of " masters," and the band was greatly
augmented for the occasion. The company, unlike
the great gathering at an establishment of a some-
what similar character, a few evenings ago, was
highly respectable, and the whole partook of a large
friendly party,rather than a public ball. Mr. Holland
has every reason to be satisfied with the success of
his endeavour to provide a ball for his patrons, and
he is greatly to be complimented on the rule
that he rigidly enforced with respect to all those
wishing to gain admission. Dancing ceased shortly
before three, and the proceedings closed in a satis-
factory manner to every one that had the good for-
tune to be present.

able medium for Financial and Commercial Advertisements,

PALMER'S INDEX TO THE TIMES•

Another volume of this remarkable compilation
has just made its appearance. It extends over an
interval embraced between the Ist of July and the
30th of September of the present year, each inclu-
sively. Like its predecessor, it is arranged
alphabetically. Nothing could be handier than
it is for instant reference. The amount of

time it will be the means of saving is simply incal-
culable. It is therefore a boon, the value of which
can hardly be exaggerated. Until Mr. Palmer took
in hand the problem he has now solved so corn'
pletely, it appeared to many all but insoluble. And
yet now that the difficulty has been vanquished, the
marvel is that it should not have been
swept out of view long since. The motto upon
the title-page is still that famous utterance of Lord
Macaulay's, " The only true history of a country
is to be found in its newspapers." A file of the
Times is a monument of all the marvels of modern
civilization, and it is a monument that is perpetually
being added to. Yet, while it is all this, perhaPsf
rather it should be said because it is all this,
even one year's file of the Times is, to any one in
search of a fact known to be in it somewhere, a
labyrinth the windings of which it is bewildering
to penetrate. Here, in Palmer's ludex, the clue to
any part of that labyrinth may be grasped upon 00
instant and followed up,:to the point aimed at, with
unerring precision. To employ another and yet
homelier illustration, we would say that whereas_
hitherto the lighting on any stray fact in a file of
the Times has been like looking for a needle in 3
haystack—here, in Palmer's Index, we have, it may.
be said with truth, a loadstone so powerful that it
has only to be presented to the haystack to dray(
forth the particular needle that is wanted at one!,
and in the twinkling of an eye. This little thin
quarto, therefore, is a most welcome aid to any one
in search of information in regard to recent occur-
rences. It deserves, what we doubt not it will
command, an immense circulation.

AMERICA.

The American press all but unanimously expresses the
hope that the trial of Jefferson Davis will now be rele.
gated to the limbo of departed things. They pro.
nounce it " sheer humbug." Scarcely less decisive is
public opinion in the United States on the subject
of the interference in Paraguay. More than one
paper of different politics charge Mr. Washburn with
violating his trust as ambassador, and conspiring to over-
turn the Government of Paraguay. Others think the
behaviour of the American representative has been se
doubtful that the alleged insult to the American flag had
better be passed over in silence. Besides, what is there to
be gained by sending a fleet up the La Plata? The
whole of the river is now in the hands of the Allies, and
Lopez has withdrawn to the interior. The Americar
squadron will have the opportunity of firing unlimited
shot into the dense brushwood on the banks of the river ;
but that appears to be the extent of the
redress they will obtain from the strange people
whom the fortune of war has driven out of reach.
According to a telegram from a Paraguayan source, Mr.
Washburn is to be replaced, and the American Govern.
meat will institute a minute inquiry into his conduct;
The war in Paraguay makes no progress.

OV.EREND, GURN.EY, AN CO

We have already mentioned that summonses nave
been issued against six of the principal directors of
Overend, Gurney, and Co. We now find that they are
charged with having, in July 1865, and at other
times, unlawfully conspired together by various pretences
and representations, alleged to he false and fraudulent,
and by divers subtle devices and means, to induce persons
to become, and by which it is alleged they did be-
come shareholders in the company, with intent to
cheat and defraud them of certain valuable securities
bankers' cheques, and sums of money, and by which
they were, in fact, defrauded to the amount of £3,000,000.
The chief complainant is Mr. Adam Thom, LL.D., and
at his instance the summonses have been obtained. Before
they were issued the Lord Mayor is understood to have
given the matter his long and anxious consideration. The
summonses are returnable at the justice-room on the

Ist of January, and the investigation is likely
to be exceedingly protracted, and to be adjourned
from time to time. The present Lord Mayor (Mr. James
Lawrence) will probably be assisted by Sir Thomas
Gabriel, than whom there is not a more painstaking or
astute man in the whole Court of Aldermen

the Church of England, and seen (the great influence of
the clergy—not, he must confess, used by all in the right
direction— (A voice : " Bar Miller," which drew the vicar
of Greenwich into notice)—he felt persuaded that
whatever might be the vicissitudes of the Church in this
country in the future, there need be no fear so long as
the clergy did their duty. The cause of the Church of
England ought not tope weighed in the scales with that of
the Church in Ireland, the one being the Church of the
people, the other of the minority. Ridiculing the state-
ments advanced by the Opposition as to the results likely
to follow from the disestablishment of the Irish Church,
and the supposed acquisition of power by the Roman
Catholics, Mr. Gladstone concluded his address by expres-
sing his determination and that of his colleagues to press

THE RE-ELECTION OF THE CHANCELLOR
OF THE EXCHEQUER.

The nomination of a candidate to represent the Uni-
versity of London took place at noon on Monday, the
Right Hon. Robert Lowe having resigned his seat in
becoming Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Mr. GEORGE GROTE, the Vice-Chancellor, said it was
little more than a month ago since they were called upon
to elect a member for the first time. They then elected
Mr. Robert Lowe, who had since that time accepted an
important office in her Majesty's Government. The right
hon. gentleman offered himself for re-election, and he (the
Vice-Chancellor) should be happy to receive the names of
any gentleman who might be proposed.
Dr. W. B. CARPENTER, the registrar, having read the
writ,
Mr. JEIGIAN GOLDSMID proposed, and Mr. QUAIN
seconded, the re-election of the Right Hon. Robert Lowe,
and, there being no other candidate, he was declared duly
elected.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in thanking
the electors for the renewed proofs of their confidence,
said he presumed that nothing had occurred since he last
met them to diminish the confidence they felt in the new
Government. Of the Government itself he could say
nothing, :inasmuch as it was not yet fully formed ;
indeed his own office was not fully filled, awaiting con-
firmation that evening. His was a post the holder of
which made himself disagreeable to everbody, but he was
prepared for all the observations and all the obloquy to
which he might be exposed. He most faithfully and
sincerely thanked the electors for their renewed mark of
confidence.
A vote of thanks to the Vice-Chancellor closed the
proceedings, which occupied only a few minutes.

INDIA.

The great battle at Bamian, in Affghanistan, has left
Shere Ali more completely master of the country than ho
has ever been before. It was generally expected that
Abdul Rahman would win. He had never suffered defeat
before, and had won brilliant victories against far greater
odds than would meet him at Bamian. But there seems
no doubt about his having been signally defeated on this
occasion, though, as vanquished Affghan Sirdars somehow
generally contrive to do, he has succeeded in escaping
himself, and will not improbably defy pursuit. The result
will do much to pacify Affghanistan, and will, in all like.
nood, be favourable to English interests. Had Abdul
Rahman pined the battle, he also would have made
friendly advances to England, but his power would have
been weaker, and his alliance less advantageous than
Share Ali's. The famine, however, has got to Cabul, and
civil war and want have produced a deploreile state of
affairs.

The recent cyclone in the Bay of Bengal did much
damage. Every vessel in harbour at Akyab was driven
ashore, and many native boats were destroyed. A thousand
acres of rice were ruined.

The commercial war between England and Russia in Cen.
tral Asia has already terminated in the defeat of the latter.
Russian goods were threatened with total expulsion from
the market. So utter was the rout that the Russians felt
themselves constrained to levy a prohibitory duty of twenty-
five per cent.on the value of English manufactures imported
into Muscovite territory. This policy has been productive
of much injury to the native inhabitants.

Four thousand miles of railway have been completed in
Hindostan, and 1,000 more are projected or commenced.
The discovery of gold in Ceylon has created a demand for
a line to the metalliferous district. Such a scheme can
hardly turn out ill, for if the gold prove a failure there is
abundance of iron.

From the famine districts there is no change, except fur
he worse, in the dismal bulletin of the last few weeks.

the Church of England, and seen (the great influence of
the clergy—not, he must confess, used by all in the right
direction—(A voice : " Bar Miller;" which drew the vicar
of Greenwich into notice)—he felt persuaded that
whatever might be the vicissitudes of the Church in this
country in the future, there need be no fear so long as
the clergy did their duty. The cause of the Church of
England ought not tobe weighed in the scales with that of
the Church in Ireland, the one being the Church of the
people, the other of the minority. Ridiculing the state-
ments advanced by the Opposition as to the results likely
to follow from the disestablishment of the Irish Church,
and the supposed acquisition of power by the Roman
Catholics, Air. Gladstone concluded his address by expres-
sing his determination and that of his colleagues to press
forward in the struggle which they had commenced,
conducting it upon those principles which would best
accord with the traditions handed down from their fore-
fathers, and most conduce to the firm establishment of the
Throne and Constitution.
Mr. GLADSTONE proposed a vote of thanks to the return-
ing officer, and with cheers for the right hon. gentleman
and Mrs. Gladstone, the assembly disdersed.

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA.

According to the correspondent of the New York Herald,
the Cuban insurgents number from 18,000 to 20,000. The
Spanish troops are unable to follow them, and the engage.
ments which have taken place have resulted in at least
equal advantage to the creoles. There has been a grand
junta, or meeting of the insurgent leaders, many of whom
are planters and men of great wealth. Many of the most
eloquent and able of these pleaded strongly in favour
of accepting the reforms which the new order of things in
Spain might offer them ; but the great majority insisted
upon a war for independence, and this was the final con.
elusion. The insurgents have resolved to throw off thq
yoke of Spain, or lose life and fortune in the attempt.
