EARTHoUAKE AT SEA.-Captain Green, of the
whaleshiP Sheffield, of Cold Spring, which arrived
at New York on Tuesday morning in one hundred
and nifty days from Honolulu, reports that on the
26th of April, while in latitude 20 55, longitude So
TO- he experienced three shocks of an earth
quake, the first of which was the most severe, oc-
curing at AIS A. NJ; the subsequent ones at $40
casions has met with similar phenomena at sea- saws
that these, in time of continuance and also in loud
ness of accompanying noise, and the peculiar
trembling motion communicated to the ship far ex-
ceeded all others he ever felt. The mate duty
at the time of the first shock reported that the sea
for some time previous, presented the appearance
OF tide rip. The time occupied by the first shock
was variously estimated from three-fourths to one
and hall minutes. The noise might be aptly COM
pared to that of heavily loaded wagon or cart
driven rapidly over plank road. All the seepers
on board were startled from their sumber.

there Is reason to believe, may attempt to use the
