A SUBURBAN EARTHQUAKE.

Rollings and Rumblings-Sunday Night
Shocks and Shakes on Long Island,
Staten Island, and New Jersey.
From various accounts received yesterday in
this city it appears That about 10 o'clock on
Sunday night there was felt the shock of an
earthquake on Long Island, Staten Island, and
in New Jersey.
In Williamsburg the windows in the houses
were ratified, the houses themselves shaken,
and the same rumbling noise as on Staten
Island heard. One gentleman, residing in
South Third street, informed our reporter that
be felt his house shake as if a floor had fallen
through, and his family rushed frightened from
their beds to inquire If 1t were an earthquake.
AT JAMAICA AND RIDGEwooD
persons describe the disturbance as having
Somewhat different effect from that elsewhere.
People living at the places named were first
awakened by q noise as If made by team of
horses and wagons going over a cobble-stone
payment Such remarkable noise on a country
road of course brought the good people quickly
out of their beds and to the windows, when the
quick vibration of the earth, shaking the houses
and rafting the windows, almost frightened
them out of their wits.
At Roslyn the noise preceding the shock was
like that of distant thunder, but seemed to be
directly under foot. The shock itself was a
wave or undulating motion, which caused the
windows to rattle as in furious tempest.
THE EARTHQUAKE ON STATEN ISLAND.
, The shock appears to have extended all over
Staten Island, being felt with equal distinctness
in Clifton and New Brighton. At Clifton the
shock was very. plain, jarring houses and furni-
ture and shaking people in their chairs. The
floors of the houses trembled vio-
lently. Peesons who were on the first
floors of the houses at the time describe
the noise and sensation as similar to
the effects produced by dragging heavy OBJ
ject across the floor overhead. The shock was
equally distinct in the neighborhood of Wander
bilt landing. A gentleman living two miles from
the landing reports that the floors in his house
trembled plainly, with a vertical notion
that the furniture was Jared in the up
per rooms, and that the noise was like that
made by dragging heavy trunk across the
floor. His daughter, about fourteen years of
age, was awakened in bed by the shock, and
subsequently experienced painful feeling of
nausea requiring the aid of stimulants to relieve
it. In another house near Vanderbilt landing a
similar motion was felt, and the windows were
violently ratified, but no rumbling noise was
heard. An inmate of the house was awakened
| by the shock. The vibration of the floors in
| this building were remarkably violent, although
the house was very strongly built The owner
| of the house afterwards experimental by stamp
| ing and jumping on the floor, but was unable to
jar it with equal force.-N. Y. Herald, to-day.s q

Madeleine TO the Bastie. These citizens must con-
cert with the commanders of barricades to insure
the execution OF these orders.-PaTis, PrGiridl,
AM, 79.p
This document is signed by the members of
the Committee of Public Safety at the head of
whom stands the name of Delescluze. Thus
there was band of fLseens organized in the
dark, and of whom DO mention was ever made
by the journal Ofctel to whom was intrusted
the burning of Paris, and who doubtless had
long studied their field of action. Some lndis-
cretions caused this plan to become known, but
no one would believe 1t. The fuseens, under
the direction of scientific committee, com
posed of medical men and practical chemists
proposed various contrivances, matches and
other means of producing explosion. Barrels of
powder and of petroleum were placed in the
monuments destined to destruction, and at the
points where incendiarism was intended. II
must be observed that the chiefs who were
charged with carrying out these abominable
orders of the Committee of Public Safety were
to make arrangements in concert with the COM
manders of barricades, who were under the
orders of the Central Committee. "Blow up or
burn the houses which interfere with
your plan of Defense" wrote De-
lescluze and Billioray to Dombrowsk
in an order which has been found. "The
barricades ought not to be assailable from the
houses" Thus q rampant of burnt houses was to
be formed. The same citizens again wrote to
Van der Hooven commanding the barricade of
the Faubourg du Temples e:-"Thelcitizen delegate
commanding at the Barrack of the Chateau
d'Eau is requested to deliver to the bearer of
by the citizen the General-in- Chief of the barri-
cades of the Faubourg du Temple" There was
between incendiarism and the defense pre-
yiOusly established connection.

your Majesty that is your intention TO visit the
United States, with your imperial consort, on the
return from your trip TO Europe.

though 1t would give me great pleasure TO do so I;
but hope that on future occasion shall be able
to pay visit TO your country.
Correspondence am sufficiently aware OF the
state OF public opinion in the United States to as
sure your Majesty that great popular welcome
will be extended you there should you ever make a
VISIT
The Emperor-I am pleased to hear 80; and have
often felt that should have much enjoyment from
such trip. Can you tell me II you have heard any,
thing lately OF Professor Agassiz? What is he doing
now?
Correspondent have heard nothing recently,
your Majesty; but saw, several months since, a
statement that he was laborng with zeal In the
compilation Of his work upon his great Amaz oman
explorations.
The Emperor-I received letter from the Pro-
fessor some time since, but have not heard very
lately from him. am glad, however that his health
is mach better than 1t was formerly. l expect TIE

II may wei be supposed that it was from
sinister design that those various preparations
of which we have heard arose-mines in the
sewers, wires intended for their ignition by
means of electric batteries placed at Montmartre.
But there was never anything serious about
these preparations. If any quantity of ex-
plosive materials has been found In the
sewers, the batteries intended to ignite them
have never been in q condition to do SO. 1t was
the same with those famous mines which were
to be placed in front of the barricades. Not one
OF the mines was exploded; they never had ex-
istence, save In the columns of the Communalist
journal ODtciet where they appeared as a
menace to produce hesitation among the SOL
diers, and to lmask the real designs of the
Commune Petroleum was the real instru-
ment which it had determined to en-
of its agony, the Commune had taken its mea-
sures to effect its object. 1t had taken forcible
possession of all intammable oils, and especially
petroleum: In the last few days of the struggle
the Committee of Public Safety was everything
the Commune was nothing. The Committee o
Public Safety had completely abandoned the
military arrangements to the Central Commit
tee of the Federation of the National Guard,
and reserved u itself the incendiary arrange
ments; but both branches of the defense were
connected, and Delescluze stood between then
as a sort of dictator.

his death leaves little doubt of the important
part which was played in ertrenlts by this king
