'It is said that the shock of an earthquake was distinctly felt ih " Swansea last Tuesday week , about half-past seven iri the morning . The effect was sufficient to brmg some pei-sons out of their beds to see what wa $ going on . JFhe bells in brie place were set ringing , and the windows shook violently . The shock seems to have extended over a line of 26 i ^ iles . ., - .. ' . "' ¦ The workmen engaged in repairing a house in U-lasgow had been in the practice of jumping through the front windows , finding this m ore convenient than the ordinary entrance . This habit was so strong upon one of the men that he bounded through after the window had been dazed , cleariner away about 162 . worth of plate-glass .
• Two officers of the Eoyal First Devon Yeomanry Cavalry , quartered in the town of Teignmouth , who had quarrelled over the bottle , determined upon deciding the matter "honourably . " Their seconds , however , provided that the pistols should be harmless , and to improve the joke , explained the state of things to one of the combatants , arranging that he , should fall as if mortally wounded , while the other should be hurried away to France . The affair accordingly came off a few days ago , at three o ' clock in the morning , but , unfortunately , as the unhappy man was about to fly the consequences of his supposed crime , the preventive officers appeared , drawn by the reports , and disarranged the plot .

It appears from a Parliamentary paper that the expenses incurred in the removal of the marble arch , and in the recent alterations of the grounds of St . James ' s Palace , and the buildings connected with it , as well as those of Buckingham Palace , amount to ll , 000 ^ which has been already voted , with an addition of 2283 ? ., not comprised m the estimate submitted to Parliament .
Health Of London During The Week. A Thou...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . A thousand deaths were registered in the Metropolis in the week that ended last Saturday , showing an important increase on the previous week , in which the number was only 883 . In connexion with this result it will be remarked that the mean weekly temperature fell from 52 * 7 ° and 55 * 6 ° in the second and third week of May to 5 O 8 ° in the fourth , whilst last week it Was 52 * 5 ° , having been during the last fortnight about 6 degrees below the average , to
which atmospheric change the increase of mortality is probably to be attributed . In the four weeks now mentioned the tain that fell amounted to 2-21 in ., though in the previous twelve weeks the entire amount was less than one inch . - In the ten weeks corresponding to last week in the years 1842-61 the average number of deaths was 877 , which , if raised in proportion to the increase of population , becomes 965 ; the present number , therefore , exhibits an excess of 35 above the estimated amount .
In the present Return the number of cases in which small-pox was fatal amounts to 4 O ; those of 32 children , and 8 persons of fifteen years of age and upwards . Five of the sufferers are reported to have been previously vaccinated : their ages were 6 months , and 5 , 15 , 16 , and 35 years .

Sattteday, June 5. The Morning Sitting O...
Sattteday , June 5 . The morning sitting of the House of Commons yesterday was occupied in voting supplies . At tlfe evening sitting , on the order of the day for going into committee upon the New Zealand Government Bill , Sir J . Pakingkton explained certain changes which he proposed to make- in the bill . Since the second reading , he observed , he had received suggestions , intrinsically valuable , from several quarters entitled to the greatest weight . These suggestions he examined in detail , arriving at the conclusion that he preferred the bill as it stood to either of the
alternatives they offered ; but > having had an opportunity , he added , of consulting parties connected with the different provincial localities in "New Zealand , as well as others interested in the colony , he had taken their opinions , and was able to say that they unanimously desired that the bill should be proceeded with as it stood rather , than that either of the alternatives should be adopted . Anxious , however , to meet the suggestions he had referred to as far as he could , he had determined , with the consent of the parties he had consulted , to make an important alteration , namely , that instead of the
superintendents of the provinces-being nominated by the Governor , they should be elected . He proposed likewise to leave to the different localities the question of sahv ries . Sir John further explained his final opinions respecting the New Zealand Company , ^ -namely , that , instead of 5 * . per acre , the company should receive onefourth of the purchase-money on sales of waste lands ; his object being , he said , to secure to that company whatever it was entitled to under the act of 1847 ; With respect to the disposal of lands in the colony , he intended to place at the disposal of the local Legislature all revenues derivable from any mineral discoveries .
After an irrelevant discussion , the House went into committee . Sir W .. Moleswobth moved the omission of the second and all the succeeding clauses before the 32 d , referring to the provincial councils , substituting a clause empowering the General Assembly to incorporate the inhabitants of any district , and 4 x > establish therein a council for its local government , with power to make orders and by-laws for any matters specially submitted to the direction and control of the council by any law of the General Assembly . This amendment was opposed by Sir J . Pakington , and negatived .
In going through the clauses , the following alterations were made : —In clause 22 , the quorum of the provincial councils was reduced from half to one-fourth ; jn the 29 th clause , the period for disallowing bills was reduced from two years to three months ; in clause 33 , the words limiting the number of the members of the Legislative Council were omitted . In considering tho last-mentioned clause , the question whether the members of the Upper Chamber should be nominated or elected , underwent much
discussion , the elective principle being advocated by Sir W . Moj-eswobth , Mr . F . Peee , Mr . Adjjebuey , and other members ; and opposed by Sir J . Pakington , Mr . WAi-POiiE , and Lord J . Manners . Tho committee divided upon the clause , which was carried by 132 txgainst 89 . In point of fact , there was a very strong feeling in favour of an elective Upper Chamber , but many of the dissentients gave way , becauso they wcro anxious tho bill should pass ; and others , on account of tho declaration of Sir John Pakington , that ho would not accept any alteration in this particular .
On arriving at tho 74 th clause , the Chairman reported progress , and bad leave to sit again on Thursday . In reply to a question put by Lord I ) . Stuart , tho CirANOEiiXon of tho Exchequer said the Government bad p laced upon the table all tho papers relating to tho caeo of Mr . Mather , and among thorn a despatch specifying " tho ulterior measures" which they were disposed to take . \ Several bills wcro forwarded a stage , and tho Houao adjourned at two o ' clock until Monday .

An attempt was made to get a declaration of opinion , in favour of Lord John Russell , but it signally failed . Oxfobb UNivBBSiTY .-r-It is reported in > Oxford that it has been found neciessary to withdraw Mr .

ScAEBPEduGfi .- — -Mr * George Frederick Young has issued a loiig address to the electors of this borough , in which he declares Mmself still a thorough Protectionist , and says ^ —¦ " I repeat , therefore , my earnest recommendations to every Protectionist te support Lord Derby , as the only possible means of regaining Protection in any form . " . ,. LiNCotNteiBB ( North ) .- —3 Vtr .. Christopher , Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster , and Sir M . Chohneley the present members for this division of the county of Lincohishire , addressed a large gathering of the electors
on Wednesday afternoon in the Mart-Yard , Gainsborough .: Mr . Christopher spoke on two points chiefly —Protection and the Maynooth grant . With reference to the former , be threw the whole responsibility of the course which the Government might pursue on the verdict of the country at the ensuing elections . As to the latter , he expressed himself strongly in fayour of a searching inquiry , and said he was prepared to sanction either a reversal of the grant , or that the college should be subjected to an inspection which should render it no longer dangerous to the privileges of the
Sovereign . > Sir M . Cholmeley addressed the meeting after Mr . Christopher , and having characterised the opposition got up against him in the person of Mr . Stanhope as " most trifling / ' proceeded to say that when Lord Derby nailed his colours to the mast he did think his Lordship would have stood or fallen by protection to agric ^ dture—that that course would have been his pride and his polic ^ -, and in that polic ^ Lord Derby should have had his support . ( Cheers . )
" But now Lord Derby had got into office he found all things changed—all things altered ; and after numerous chorees and explanations of what one hon . and right hon . gentleman had said in one House and another House—after explanations to explain away explanations , he was literally so mystified that he did not know what conclusion to come to with respect to tho policy and intentions of the Government .
