THE LATE EARTHQUAKE.
The slight shock of an earthquake felt in Auckland at about ½ past 9on Tuesday the 23rd Ultimo, was also experienced by the Ship 'Josephine', being at the time 150 miles from land. The "Taranaki Herald" of the 24th contains the following paragraph, from which it would appear that the Province of New Plymouth had been more severely visited : "On Tuesday night the neighbourhood of New Plymouth experienced a sharp shock of Earthquake, which for a time created considerable alarm, but fortunately was not attended with any consequences more serious than the damaging of a few chimneys. The principal shock took place about 9 o'clock, and continued with considerable severity for nearly 5 minutes; several
other shocks were felt through the night find following day, but of no great severity, and we trust that there is now nothing more to fear from this distressing visitation."
