EARTHQUAKE.

PARTICULARS OF THE LATE EARTHQUAKE AT TILE CAPE
OF GOOD HOPE.
Cape Town, January 4, I SM.
On the 4th December last, at about twenty mi-
nutes past 10 P.M. a severe shock of an Earthquake
was felt here, accompanied by a most terrible noise,
as if thousands of chains were thrown backwards and
forwards with great velocity on the tops of the houses
—the earth trembled greatly at this time for a few
moments. In about five minutes a less violent shock
was felt, and this was occasionally repeated, some-
times at night, at others in the day time, until the
23d December.
The inhabitants were exceedingly alarmed, and
many left their houses and pitched tents in the squares
land some persons yet resort to the Bents to sleep. Al-
most every house has cracks in the walls. The shocks
were Most severe at a place called Rappen Eiland,
(Robin Island), at the entrance of Table Bay. Here
the ground is much torn up, and the walls of Mr.
John Murray's buildings there fell to the ground.—
' About seven miles from town, on the estate of Mr.
Kerr. at Blaumberg, and about the spot where Ge-
neral Baird defeated General Jansen, hundreds of
small volcanos have opened, which never were seen
before. From these now issue streams of water, and
this estate, which at this time of year was always dry
has now a small lake, supplied constantly from these
new openings in the ground.
The report of the Committee sent to examine into
the facts, states, that they found one spring of en-
tirely fresh water, one of salt, and several which were
brackish. The farmer of the Salt-pan, Bisges Kraal,
was driven from his dwelling, a great spring of water
having opened in the middle of his house, and which
is there still. The shocks were felt beyond the Hot-
tentot mountains, as far as the river Zonder End,
about 80 English miles from Cape Town. The
Dutch inhabitants are very much alarmed, and have
become very religious, going to prayers daily to be-
seech the ALMIGHTY not to destroy them by so horrid
; a 'death.

The public breakfast, yesterday, at Dandelion, was
attended by 200 persons only. What it wanted in
numbers, it made up in fashion. Many of the ladies
at the M. C. Fete had not only ostrich heads, but
ostrich stomachs ; but on this occasion but few par-
took of the refreshments.

The promenade at the Assembly Rooms, last even-
ing, was rendered additionally attractive by the pre-
sence of many beautiful women, attired in the zenith
of the prevailing costume.
Sir GILBERT HEATHCOTE left Kidman's yesterday,
for London ; the Hon. Captain KENNEDY was among
the arrivals.

Anonymous letters are flying about with the cele-
rity of scandal. One was sent to a Gentleman, which
had nearly been attended by serious consequences :
he accused his friend with being the author of it ; the
parties fought, in the house of a friend in Cecil-square,
where they dined, but neither used sword or pistol.—
A reconciliation has prevented the latter evil.

with which the company were much amused. Dancing
coacluded this novel and diversified fete' which lasted
till the evening closed, when most of the party ad-

IPREEDOM OF ELICTiON.

!MIRY MAMllltr e. THOMAS war.
'Phis was an action brought by the Plaintiff against.
the Defendant, returning officer of the borough of
Downpatrick, for corruptly refusing his tote at the
election in May, 1807.
The evidence on the pact of the Plaintiff proved.
that the Defendant WAS appointed seneschal a few
days before the election ; that he was at that time a
common working slater, and an active partizan of
Mr. Croker, one of the candidates; that notwith.
standing his situation in life, he had refused the as-
sistance of Counsel, which was offered him at the en:
tire expence of Mr. Ruthven, the other candidate
I that he appointed a carman, of the name of Neeper,
his deputy, and rejected a great number of votes ten.
I dared for Mr.sßuthven, which hid been received by
the former seneschal, Mr. Wallace ; and that Mr.
Henry, an active partisan of Mr. Croker, sat beside
the Defendant during the poll, and marked on the
tally-papers such as were to be rejected. The Plain-
tiff, whose house was admitted to be worth twelve
guineas yearly, was rejected on the alledged gronnds
that his certificate of qualification as a Catholic was
' insufficient, being signed " R. Keown, C. Peace,"
instead of Clerk of the Peace at length.
The only evidence produced by the Defendant.
was Mr. John Craig, attorney, who proved that he
was agent to Mr. Croker at the late election ; th .t he
took the opinion of counsel on nine distinct points to
i be made at the election, and that he particularly took
the opinion of Mr. Harding Giffard on the Catholic
certificates, who was of opinion that the signature of
" F. Keown, C.-Peace," was insufficient, and he de.
j dared in his opinion the Defendant decided conscien.
tiously.
On his cross-exam nation, he admitted that he took
the opinion of another counsel, who differed front
Mr. Giffard, and that the production of his opinion
Was a 6, jockey trick."
Judge Fox charged the Jury in substance as fol.
lows :

Gentlemen of the Jury—This is an action on the
case brought by the Plaintiff against the Defendant,
for maliciously rejecting his vote at the late election
for this town. In a case like this, it is not requisite
that any particular malice should he proved. If the
general conduct of the Defendant in the execution of
his office appears to you to have been actuated by any
improper motive or feeling, it is sufficient • the sim-
ple fact for you to ascertain is, whether the Defen-
dant has acted corruptly or partially in discharge of
his duty on this occasion or not. It appears from
the evidence you have Maitit, that seneschals of the
borough have been hitherto persons of high respecta•
bility, yet they always considered it necessary to have
the assistance of Counsel ; and I cannot avoid men-
tioning particularly the situation of the Defendant, a
common working slater, a mechanic, known as such
to every one in town, emerging at once from obscu-
rity, and placing himself in a situation for which he
was unfit and unqualified, either front habit or edu-
cation. Stepping into the place, and assuming in an
instant the consequence of a Judge, he presides at
the election, when he was sworn to act honestly and
impartially, takes upon him such unheard-of autho-
rity, and tramples under his feet the very appearance
of justice ; yet this man, so unqualified, untutored,
and debased, still continued in the judicial office, and
has even been rewarded with a revenue employment.
Far be it from me even to hint at any imputation to
a man rising, from obscurity by honest means and
honest ambition to the highest offices of the state, if
by education and previous habits he is qualified ; but
here this man, ignorant and illiterate, stepping at once
into the seat of judgment, decides on the most sacred
rights of man. He must have been conscious of his
own unfitness ; yet, being a most active partisan,
with an ignorant mind influenced with party preju-
dice, he takes the situation, and decides at once upon
the law. If he was actuated by honest motives,
would he not have sought for the assistance of Coun-
sel ?—Gentlemen, the Plaintiffs case is in a narrow
compass ; he is a Catholic, and the Legislature re-
quires him to take certain oaths, and to produce a
certificate to qualify him to vote. He produces one
signed by the proper officer, the Clerk of the Peace,
but it is objected that it was insufficient ; Craig pro-
duces the opinion of Colonel Giffard to sustain the
objection, and to influence this wretched creature's
1 decision, he himself having actually advised him
against having Counsel. Defendant says he would
be governed by his own conscience, and rejects the
vote. Are these the acts of an honest man No—
they are the acts of a low, tricky, wretched instru-
ment, placed in a situation to disgrace the justice of
the country, and to execute the plans of his confede-
rates. Gentlemen, the elective franchise is of the
highest nature ;it should be secured—it should be
cherished. If ever suffered to be trifled with. there
ill an end to our liberties. Should these our dearest
' i rights be infringed, it strikes at the prop, the foun-
'idation of our glorious constitution, which, thus sap.
ped and mined, must tumble to the ground.
TI e Jury retired a short time, and returned a vet-
.ll dict for the Plaintir, £250 damages, and 6d. costs.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A PASSENGER IN ONE OP
THE HOMEWARD-BOUND COTTON SHIPS.
Cape Town, December 8, 1809.
In our voyage hither, after keeping along the coast
for a few days, we met a westerly wind, between
Ganjam and Vizagapatam, which enabled us to run
directly south, until we got completely clear of the
Bay. When abreast of Madras, we were chased by
a ship under English colours, which, although she
had every appearance of a than of war, gave up the
chace on the evening of the Sd of October. I thought
she was like the Dover, but there were divers opinions
respecting her. We were not so fortunate in our
weather, between 5 N. lat. and 12 S. ; but we had
nothing like a tempest.
We then got into the trades, and keeping tolerably
clear of the Mauritius, we nearly made the southern
part of the east coast of Africa, when we experienced
a dteadful gale from the westward, which Listed from
the 18th till the 20th, on the morning after which it
moderated. But the wind being front the same point
and the sea extremely high, we found it impossible to
proceed, and therefore lay-to for several days. We
then worked on to this place, which we made, and
got to our anchorage the 27th of November.
The night before last, the inhabitants of Cape
Town, and all the country within 10 or 12 miles
round, were greatly alarmed, about a quarter past
10 o'clock, on hearing a rumbling noise under ground,
immediately follovied by a tremulous motion, which,
though general, was more violent in some places than
others. Many, I believe almost the greatest part, of
the houses in Cape Town, have received some damage,
but not one has fallen. On Robin Island, which is
a very small spot at the mouth of the Table Bay,
not one house remains standing.• The ships were
so much agitated, that, as I have heard from several
officers who were on board, many were thrown out
of their cots. It is reported, but not much credited, The body of an infant, apparently six weeks old,

EDUCATION.

We congratulate the public oa the success of the
Lancasterian or Royal British System of Education.
Schools have recently been formed or put in a train
of forwardness, at Bath, Coventry, Worcester, Nor-
wich, Reading, Ipswich, Bury, Portsmouth, Ply-
mouth, Edinburgh, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and a great
number of other places too tedious to enumerate.—
Mr. Lancaster, the Inventor of the System, is uncom-
monly active in propagating it, having this summer
repeatedly travelled 3 or 400 miles, and lectured seven
or nine days out of ten to respectable and crowd-
ed audiences, with great success. Mr. Lancaster has
been opposed by none but bigots, who understand
persecution wells but are as much strangers to fair
dealing as a cowardly assassin is to honourable war-
fare. Persecution, hoWever, is not congenial to a Bri-
tish people, and will not be encouraged by a Rcce of
Monarchs who have uniformly declared there :he he no
terrecution in their day ! on the contrary, the liberality
evinced by a British public is only equalled by that
shewn by a British King and his august family. Mr.
Lancaster has lectured to near 200,000 persons with
the greatest success—his lectures have given rise to
many schools, which exhibit a picture of Royal good-
ness, worthy the King whose glory has been in the
affection of his people, and who is so convinced that
ruovinENce has been the preservation of his throne,
that in the hour of danger, to use his own words, he
has found a shield above." We have heard much
of the Jubilee, but the King's goodness has enabled
Lancaster to proclaim a Royal mentalJubilie to above
50,000 poor children ; and who is there that can go
to Manchester, Birmingham, Bath, Plymouth, and to
many other places, and see hundreds and thousands
of children, who only five years ago were entirely un-
educated, now rescued from the gil of the streets
and of idleness, educated in that Scripture knowledge
which will make them truly wise, and likely to be,
from their good and orderly habits, as many thou-
sands already educated in those schools have beer. by
their education, virtuous mid useful members of so.
ciety—among all those children there never was one
convert to his religious profession, but many good
young men and virtuous members of society do ho.
;sour to the care he has bestowed on them in their
youth. The Dukeof Bedford and Lord Somerville were
Mr. Lancaster's first friends and patrons ; and their
patronage is continued to the present day, with their
characteristic benevolence. The merit of the plan,
and the noble patronage those Noblemen had given it
introdeced it to the King and the country. The King
and Royal Family set an example in patronizing and
supporting this system, worthy of thermelves. The
Xing commanded Mr. Lancaster to set down his
Royal name for £lOO per ann. and the Queen, the
Prince of Wales, the Royal Dukes, and the Prin-
cesses, have followed the example with firmness, ge-
nerosity, and pleasure.
"They blend their Gifts with their Illustrious Sire's,
" And copy goodness which the world admires."

We understand that Mr. Lancaster is about to un-I
deirtake another journey, and previous to doing so, two
of the Royal Dukes being 4termined to do his system
an holiour, and shew their support, not only by their
patronage and subscriptions, but by personally wit-
nessing the good done by their means, paid a visit to
the Royal Free School, Borough-road. This they
adid on Monday last, 24th inst. and enjoyed all the
thigh gratification which the sight of so many hun-
dreds of happy and orderly children, teaching and go-

POLICE.

Bow-sTnarr.—The officers and patrole belonging
to the above office were extremely active in appethen-
ding the pick pockets in the crowd at the pillaring of
the Vere-stroet gang. Old Pullin, who w.O there,
however, escaped their vigilance.
Samuel Broods was brought on Thursday evening to
the office, before Mr. REAM
Peter Stitchell, of Peter-street, Westminster, coal-
meter, said, that he was among the crowd in the
Haymarket, when he missed his pocket book out of
his coat pocket, and turning round, saw the prisoner
next to him, when be charged him with having his
pocket book. The prisoner held it up to him, saying,
66 Is this your book ?" upon which he secured him.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
William Hall was charged by Welch, the patrole,
who stated, that he saw the prisoner among the crowd,
and heard the cry of 4, Stop thief !" and observing
the prisoner running up the Haymarket, he pursued
him into Piccadilly, where he secured him, and found
two silk handkerchiefs in his hat. He was commit-
ted for further examination.

A young man was brought by H. Adkins and Sal-
mon, charged on suspicion of being in the crowd for
the purpose of picking pc,ckets, syllich they were in-
duced to do from his behaviour ; and on their going
up to him, he told them they were mistaken, and that
he was an officer ; they not giving credit to his asser-
tion, proceeded to search him, and found a constable's
staff in his pocket.
The master of the prisoner attended and proved
him to be his apprentice, and gave him a good
character, but was unable to account for his having
the staff, or pretending to be a constable. He was
discharged.
John Pregear, an assistant porter at the Saracen's-
Head, Snow-hill, was brought to the office, charged
with extorting eleven shillings and eleven-pence from
Mrs. Dawson, of York-street, Covent Garden ;—he
having charged her with that sum for the carriage and
porterage of a hamper, which, on examination, proved
only to contain stones and brick bats. The weight of
the hamper, and the charge, induced Mrs. D. to have
it og)ened in the presence of the prisoner ; who said
in his defence that he received it from the regular
porter, with other parcels, at the top of Drury-lane,
from a cart.
Mr. RLAD ordered one of the patrole to take
the prisoner to the Saracen's-head, to ascertain
if he belonged to the inn, which he did ; it likewise
appeared that the hamper had come by the Exeter-
coach, but that the charge for the carriage was only
nine shillings and sixpence; and the porterage tid.—
The hamper was regularly entered in the way-bill ;
but a mysterious discovery was made that a parcel,
containing a goose and some fowls, sent from Mrs.
Dawson's husband, who was in Yorkshire, the day
, previous, to the same inn, which she regularly receiv-
ed, wag not in the way-bill.

Th- eleven shillings and eleven-pence were returned
to Mrs. Dawson.

RLBOROVOIT-STREET.—George Cohen, a Jew, was
charged by a Mr. Alnam with picking his pocket of
a watch and appendages, during the pilloring of the
Vere-street miscreants on Thursday.
The prosecutor felt the watch go from him, and
although surrounded by a gang of pick pockets, he
stcured the thief. The prisoner was fully committed
for trial.

Two young women, of the names of Read and re:r,
were charged with stealing a pocket book, containing
divers bank notes and hills of exchange, the latter
amounting to a considerable sum, the property of
Chides Vaughan, Esq.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoners were do-
mestics in the house ; and on the 24th instant Read,
who uas the servant of the house, went to make the
bed of the prosecutor, who was a lodger, and at her
request Coffer, echo was servant to another lodger,
went to assist her. Read was called down, and on
her return to the other servant, she informed her that
she had found a one pound note in the bed, and Read
gave it to her mistress. On the return of the prose-
cutor, he discovered that his bureau had been broken
open, and the property stated had been stolen.
There were other strong circumstances against both
prisoners, and they were remanded.

A few nights since an atrocious murder was com-
mitted upon Thomas Mahony, an industrious honest
man, who had lived for many years close to the de-
mesne of Barn, in Ireland. Finding his orchard had
been repeatedly plundered, it seems he had been
thought too free in his opinions on the subject; and
a final visit was paid to him, in which he got so out-
rageous a beating that his death was the consequence.
A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body on Thurs-
day se'nnight, and a verdict found of—Wilful Mur-
der against some persons unknown.
A few days ago was committed to Lincoln Castle,
on a charge of having stolen two horses, the property
of Mr. Creasy, of -Frith Bank. Robert Miller, a
Yorkshireman. On Tuesday Mr. C. learnt at Boston,
that a suspicious character had come several times
lately by the packet boat from Lincoln with a saddle,
and that he had been observed lurking about in the
neighbourhood of Frith Bank. In consequence his
sop set out the next morning for Hull, but gained
no information : determined, however, not to give up
the pursuit, he proceeded to York, where, accompa.
nied by a constable, he searched the public stables,
but in vain. While there, he received a letter from
Hull, stating that one Nettleham having accidentally
met the man whom they were in pursuit of, had de.
tamed him ; in consequenceet which he immediately
returned to Hull. Here he met with a man who
swore to having bought one of the horses of Miller.
Soon after his arrival there a letter was forwarded to
him front York, in which he was informed that the
constable, recollecting they had omitted to enquire at
the Old George, went there, and. with some difficulty
learned from the ostler that one of the horses had
been there, but was then in the possession of Mr.
Nelson, of Tadcaster : there he proceeded, and on
finding that the horse was one of the two lost, took
it back to York, where he was met by Mr. Creasy.—
Whilst the prisoner was undergoing examinaticn at
Hull, the Magistrate observed that he was sorry to
see so young a man charged with such a heinous
offence, and expressed his fear that it would go hard
with him : the fellow replied, with the utmost indif,
ference, that he supposed the gallows would get him
through it

'sheds of happy and orderly children, teaching and go-
verning each other, could pobsibly present. By their
liberality, affability and condescension, they made the
children as happy as themselves. The Royal names
' Jot Kent and Cambridge will never be forgotten by
those poor children, whose hearts beat high with joy
at the kindness and attention shewn to all generally,
but in particular to the most deserving boys.
' When the Royal visit, which lasted near two hours,
was terminated, the illustrious visitors left the insti-
tution expressing their high satisfaction with its happy
prosperity, and saying they never had seen any thing
to equal it, and expressed a wish that GOD might bless
it, and that they might hear much of its pre;.-perity
and that of the system,
The servants in Royal Livery who were in waiting
drew a crowd round the school door, and great num-
ters of the parents of the children were among the
number who, delighted with the benevolence and phi-
lanthropy of the Royal Dukes, cheered them most
.heartily, to which the children added their joyful ac-
clamations. By this means the visit became very pub-
lic, and all the persons who saw them left the place
with the general expression, that this conduct of the
King's sons to poor children was worthy of the good
King their father.
The inhabitants of the town of Luton, Bedford-
'shire, were surprised with an astonishing phenomenon
last Saturday evening E the common pond, situated
in rather an elevated part of the town, which, as there
bad been no rain in their neighbourhood for some
weeks, was getting rather shallow of water, suddenly
Pled, and emitted from its bottom 41 the filth and
sediment, and continued flowing aver and discharging
a great quantity of water for some hours ; and since
has continued quiet as usual. The townspeople were
'struck with considerable alarm at this circumstance,
