Earthquake at Bogota.-On Saturday,
he 17th July, two severe shocks of au
earthquake, which happened at an inter-
val of about 10 or 90 seconds from each
ther, were felt at about quarter be-
bre. Il P. NJ. in this city. The latter
vas much more severe and of longer
,u'ation than the former; it threw
own the small chapel on the summit OF
he monntain of Guadalupe, and caused
pine damage to the houses and con-
'ents; the churches, including the cath
,dral built out few years since, receiv-
II good deal Of injury, and had anoth-
r. shock occurred, several would most
lrObably have fallen. The inhabitants
n CONSERVATION fled from their houses,
bud great number passed the rest of the
might in the squares and gardens we
have only heard of two or three persons
who have met with accidents, and thes,
were sustained in their hurry TO escape.
1t appears that the earthquake has caus-
ed some injury in the neighboring vii
lagos.
Yesterday, after the preceding re-
marks had deem written, another severe
shock was telt about ten minutes to five
IN the morning. The darage done by
il we understand TO be considerable.
The cathedral has sustained much add-
tiOnal injury; but- we are not aware at
present that any part has fallen; part OF
the convent of San Juan de Dos is in
ruins, and several other churches and
converts have suffered materially. The
houses of private individuals have, of
course, shared in The general deslruc-

We are Informed that one day last
week, Canadian man at L'Assnmption,
was moving hay near the river side,
when he saw very large fish near the
waters edge. He made blow at il

ted, and raising il above his head, it ap-
pears the handle turned, and coming 10
contact with bis person, it severed his
head from his body.
Near the same place, as five men
were digging well, and had proceeded
about 35 feet, when they went to the
surface to take refreshment. AS thew
we're about to descend, one of men
observed (propheticalIy) that it would
not be strange if the ground should fall
in and crush them. They descended.
and the ground did actually fall in, when
two were unfortunately killed, a third
severely bruised, and the remaining two
escaped uninjured. Montreal Courdnt

EXTRAORDINARY The
Grand Jury for the county ofDavidson, Tennessee, +,
have presented Gen. SAMUEL HoUsrow, as suitn-
BILE candidate for the Gubernatorial Chair of that
State, and thus mentions the late duel between
that gentleman and General WHITE:
"Our Legislatures have enacted laws to prohibit
our Clergy, from the sacred desk, have denounc-
ed-all all have cried out and still cry out against
the practice of Due!ling Yet strange, and nc less
melancholy than strange is the fact that let one of
the greatest favorites Of the people-a well tried
and faithful public servant, in whom they all have
confdence-but once refuse to accept a challenge
addressed and borne to hih by his equal, and these
very legislators, wei, as the great body ot the
people, will not only withdraw from him all conf
dence and esteem but point at him as he passes, aud
say there goes a coward" And what is still more
strange, the public require repeated and continued
proofs Of frmnes and valOr.
"It i. not our design to become lecturers on mo.
raj duty Every mind carries within itself STAN
dard, calculated to form its own rule of action
Judging for ourselves, merely, not for others, we
venture the expression, that in the recent events,
we'll known to all, far they relate to General
Houston, there is nothing TO impair former CONN.,
dence-for he has not been found counting difficult
ties or wishing to embroi himself in personal con-
test. We therefore present him TO our iellow-ci
hor of this S.ate without designing anything to the
prejudice of any other gentleman now presented to
the consideration Of the people,
From this it appears, that the Grand Jury Of
Tennessee consider it part of their duty TO inter-
fere in the political squabbles Of the State and
whilst il was their duty to present Gen. HoUsToN,
as guilty Of crime, they applaud the act and re-
commend him TO the people for their suffrages.
This is the most extraordinary act, ever perform
ed by a Grand Jury; and whilst the Tennesseans
thus wink at the breaches Of the law, can it be sup
posed that duellinS will ever be suppressed The
same men who applauded the conduct of General
HousroY, presented JOHN p. ERWIN, Esq. as an
unsuitable person, for the Office of Alderman OF the
city Of Nashville, because he was opposei to Gen.
JAcKsoNs election to tac Presidency, and prefer
red Mr.. ADAMS!

THE COMEDY OF ERRoRs.-The Comedy OF
Errors, one Of Shakspeare's most interesting Come
dies has recently been produced several nights in
succession, at the Park Theatre, New-York. The
two Dromos, by BARNES and HAcKETr, are inim-
table, and the deception is completely kept up
that it is utterly impossible to designate which is
BARNES or which is HACKETr. Antipholus Of
Ephesus and Antipholus of Syracuse, by LEE and
WoopHULL, are equally fine, and are so COM
pletey disguised that no one can tell the one from
the other. This is the first time that this pay has
been got up in this country and it is not likely that
it can again be gotten up for many years--perhaps
never. It's success has been almost unprecedented
and has proved that the legitimate drama will
when properly conducted, gain patronage which
will not be extended to the mummery Of Meo-
Drama exhibitions. The Midsummer Nights

also be brou ght forward at the Park, this season,

The following paragraphs are contained in the
Infamous speech, delivered in the United States
Senate by Mr.. RANDOLPH, which led to the alter
cation between him and Mr.. CLAY. No man on
earth, save JOHN RANDOLPH, could embody so
much real bitterness and sarcasm in the same space.
We record it as a curiosity, and as a specimen Of
the bitterness Of JOHN RANDOLPH, of Rpannke.

worm-Clitte animals forgi i've the insult)-was spit
