Memoranda. — Earthquake at Lochgilphead. — A smart shock of an earth- 

 quake was felt at Lochgilphead at forty minutes past 8 p.m. on Saturday 

 last. It lasted from thirty to forty seconds, and was so strong, that the 

 dishes on the wall and shelves were set in motion. The shock was ac- 

 companied by a loud noise, as of many carts of stones being emptied on 

 the street. Many of the inhabitants ran in great alarm to their doors to 

 ascertain the cause of the disturbance. A farmer who resides two miles 

 and a half from Lochgilphead, mentions that the same sensation was felt 

 at his house as at the village. 



Oban. — On Saturday evening the 25th, a shock of earthquake was dis- 

 tinctly felt in this place about 8 p.m. It appeared to pass from E. to W., 

 and occupied from forty to fifty seconds in its transition. A flash of 

 lightning was observed about the same time. About two years ago a 

 similar shock was felt in this place, and a still severer one fourteen years 

 since. 



Floods at Rome. — Letters from Rome of the 8th, give frightful ac- 

 counts of destruction caused by the overflowing of the Tiber. The river 

 had laid one-third of the Eternal City under water, forming deep lakes 

 in many localities. The principal street, the Corso, the approaches to 

 the castle of St Angelo, and the Piazza di Spagna, were completely 

 flooded. The flood had continued for two days, and there was no ap- 

 pearance of its abatement, &c.
