Memoranda. — Earthqnahi in Holland. — Zealand, 6th April. — This 

 morning, about two o'clock, a slight shock of earthquake was felt her^. 

 About half-past six, it was followed by a second and still more severe 

 shock. The church bell was so violently agitated^ that the ringing was 

 heard at a considerable distance. Accounts from Uden mention that 

 the shock was also felt there, and that the people who were assembled 

 in the church hastily ran out. Houses were shaken violently, articles 

 of furniture were removed from their places, and persons in bed were 

 thrown from one place to another. 



Bois LE Due, 9^/* April. — The dike of the Zuid Willeraswaart canal 

 has given way, and sunk to the extent of twenty yards. Letters re- 

 ceived to-day from St Oderode, mention that several shocks had been 

 felt there on the 7th (Friday), about 11 p.m. The inhabitants rushed out 

 of their houses for fear of being buried under the ruins, and remained in 

 the streets until daylight returned. 



Several localities in North Brabant have been visited by the earth- 

 quake. Grave, Bommel, Husnew, Breda, Telburgh, Findhoven, and 

 other places, have received some severe shocks. At the same time there 

 occurred a storm of thunder and lightning. At Gorcum a very heavy 

 shock was felt at a quarter before six a.m.
