O N Sunday the goth of laft Month, about three 
Quarters after 12 at Noon, a Shock of. an 
Earthquake was felt in this Town, and in the Coun- 
try round us for many Miles; but was not thought 
to be fo violent as thofc which happened at Lon- 
don at the Beginning of the Year. People who were 
fitting in the Churches, or in their Houfes, were 
moft fenfible of it, but thofe who were walking 
were not fo much affeded ,• and many confidcr'd it

or the remote Running of a Coach or Chair. We 
don't hear of any Damage done thereby. 
The following is a Letter from the Reverend the 
Minifter of Wefton with Sutton, in the County
