Three shocks of an earthquake were felt at Lay-
bach, on the evening of the 7th of August, which
'lasted about four seconds, and was accompanied by
a rumbling noise, similar to that proceeding from the
'rolling of a heavy waggon. The day was very hot,
and the evening stormy. At the moment the shocks,
were felt there was a heavy fall of rain.
A shock'of an earthquake was felt very generally
on the evening of Friday se'nnight, by the inhabitants
of Stamford, and of the neighbouring towns and vil.
lages from West to East. The noise, to those who
were within doors at the time, resembled the falling
of furniture in the upper rooms, and some persons
were sensible of motion from the agitation of the
earth. At Ketton, four miles west of Stamford, it
excited considerable alarm. It was likewise felt at
, UpFingham, Oakham, Peterborough, Deeping, and
most of the intermediate places. The duration of the
shock was about two seconds; the noise accompany-
ing it was very loud.
A boat which had about 150 persons on board,
upon the Lake of Constance, was lately sunk through
the imprudence of the boatmen : the number perished
I is stated at 30.

MURDER.—A most shocking murder wai perpe-
trated of Wednesday se'nnight, on Mrs. MARY UTAT
sox, of Beck Houses, near Grasmere. Her throat had
been cut, and she was much bruised about her head.
Suspicion fell upon her son, and he was apprehended
near Brathay Bridge, and examined at Ambleside,
when the bloody knife was found upon him. We
understand the young man has been some time in a
deranged state of mind.

CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF LoNnow.—Dr.
HowLEY, the new Bishop of London, left his situa-
tion as Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, some days
since, which .he has resigned in consequence of his
appointment to the See or London, but he retains his
Fellowship of Winchester. On Friday, Dr. HowtEr's
election was confirmed at Bow Church, Cheapsidc,
being the oldest church in the diocese, by Sir I.Viootass
Scorr, the Vicar-General of the province of Canter-
bury, with the usual forms and ceremonies.
The QUEEN not having been pfesent at the Conse-
cration of a Bishop, had expressed her wish to be
present at that of Dr. HowLEY. Yesterday morning,
at half-past eleven o'clock, her MAJ►'TY. and the
Princesses Auous7•A and MARY, arrived at Lam-
beth Palace, where they were received by the
Archbishop of 6ANTERBURit who conducted them
into the drawing-room, where Dr. HowLEY, the
Bishop of London elect, the Bishops of Oxronn,
Gooocesrett, and SALISBURY, the Vicar-General, in
their full robes, and a number of other distinguished
characters, paid their respects to them ; after which
they peoceeded to his Grace's Chapel. The QUM/
and PRINCESSES were conducted into Mrs. Sorrow's
family gallery. No person was admitted into the
body of the Chapel except those engaged in the cere-
mony : among them were the Arclibi3hop of CAN•
TERBURY, the Bishops of SALISBURY, GLOUCBSTER,
and OXFORD, in their full robes. Dr. Howl.se, the
Bishop of LondoikElect, took his seat the last on the
right of the altar.

The morning service was read by one of the Arch.
bishop's Chaplains. The Bishop of GLoucxxrch read
the Epistle; the Bishop of OXFORD the Gospel ; the
Sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. OODDA au, late
Master of WinchesteiN who took a general view of the
established Church, fitm the period of the Reforma-
tion, and dwelt upon the Divine institution and ex-
pediency of the Episcopal Order. After the Sermon,
the Archbishop of CA NTERIBURIG attended by his two
Chaplains, proceeded to the Altar, to read the Com-
munion Service.
Mr. JENNER, the Registrar of the Provirce, read the
Mandate from the PRINCE RECUT, in the name of
the KING, for the consecration. Dr-HOWLEY retired

to an anti-room, and put on his rochet, having been
previously only in Thictor's robes ; he was then in-
troduced by the Bishops of OXFORD and GLoucesrza
to the Archbishop at the altar, where several ceremo-
nies were performed, and then retired to the anti-
room, where he was invested with his full episcopal
robes. He was then introduced again to the altar,
and the usual questions were put to him by the Arch-
bishop. The imposition of hands by the Archbishop
and the other Bishops present; concluded the cere-
mony. The Sacrament was then administered .to

him by the Archbishop, in which all the others pre..
sent participated. Her MAJESTY and the PUINCESSES
afterwards partook of a sumptuous collati.m. provi.
ded for them by Mrs. SUTTON, and at three o'clock
left Lambeth Palace..-

One cf the Manchester coaches Was overtufned

last week, near. Market Harborough, by which one
inside passenger had his skull fractured, and is since
dead, a woman had a thigh broken, and a third per.
ion was so much hurt as to leave little hopes of re-

covert.
Yesterday a man in Oxford-street, having impru-
dently tied his son, a child about. ten years old, on a
horse, the animal took fright, and set off at the top
of its speed, when the child soon lost its seat, and
being dragged by the ligatures, received such a dread-
ful fracture of the skull before the horse could be
stopped, that it was taken to the Hapital in nearly a
lifeless state.

Las weelc..As Mr. Denison, late Member for Hull,
was riding over one of his estates, near Scarborough,
a shower of rain induced him to use an umbrella. In.
the attempt to unfurl it, the horse became alarmed,
And plunging threw his rider. Mr. Denison's arm.
was broken by the fall, and he was otherwise severely
bruised.

On the 27th ult. .‘in Inquest was taken at Ayles-
bury, on the body of Mr. Rose, farmer, of Lower
Winchendon. Bucks, who was thrown from his horse
the preceding Friday, by which his skull was frac-
tured, and he died the Monday folloa log. Verdict
_Accidental Death.

. Tuesday an Inquest was holden by Mr. HILL, Ca-
ironer, at Broadway, on the body of J. Warren, who,
in the act of drawing an empty waggon from a barn,.
situated on the side of a hill, owing to the want of '
strength or skill in the management, was precipitated
down the steep against a tree, and,, by the force and
pressure of thew aggun, crushed to,death. Verdict
—Accidental Death.
