    A most'unexpected event has shaken Nicb out -of " its propriety and prepared the residents in'that favoured spot Her that perpetuation in cinders , which about « eventeen 1 hundred years ago betfel the fashionable population af ^ PompeiLandJ ^ erciiiJa . num . _ _ A _ Jejttejrjfrom _ 2 fice _ of December ' 80 , says : — " The morning ^ before last , about three o'clock , ttte inhabitants of this p lace were awakened from their steep 'by * singular sensation of'horizontal movement . A * . «* st , the greatest ninnber thought 'it must be a dream , but they soon perceived thkt it w « b a terrible reality . Each house rocked . gently on its foundations , < as you may have seen young poplar trees swaying to and fro . from a . strong breeze . In an instant the whole town was on the

    alert . Every one : rushed out , avoiding the streets , . and seeking the gardens , and fields , where many erectedgoufrquees to shelter . themselves from the night air . The weather was delightful $ the . sky studded with countless stars , and everything above presenting a marked contrast with tho confusion and disquietude of the population . Soon after , a second shock , and then a third , increased the general terror to the utmost point . Chimneys had been thrown to the ground — a long Hire of wall had fallen with a loud crash—no one knew 'but that the town was about to "be swallowed up , and the sea to close over the ancient Nictea of

    the -Romans . The whole scene was horrible , but yet -t »© -8 twinge that ft had some thing of "the charm of dreams , or of the supernatural . What « diledrto the unetMfhees tma , that some 'Sicilians , who pretended'to be learned "In ^ artftrqwake "prooeedings ; announoed that another shoek was to be expected witMn Cwenty-Arar hours .

Xesterday afternoon it blew very , herd learn ^ aoa 4 h *» stf and a great deal of dust ; soon afterwards it fell . Quite calm and the sun ; setting , laat night in txemendouaJjlack clouds , out no rain here in Nice , it all went over to France : at about half-past two o ' clock this morning , myselfand all . theother ^ visitors and inhabitants office were woke up from ow sleep , Tand found oar houses m % ± 0 and fro , like ships in a « ale ofw ^ - Our beds threw us from side to side . -AU Nice was out of- doors escaping for their lives . There were three distinct shocks of the earfliquake , far so it was . The first at half-past two this morning , lasted . . _ ... '' :.. ¦ - " . ' .--, . _ _ - » r j

    at least half a minute ( and the oldest inhabitant recollects nothing of the kind here before ) . It has done some considerable mischief to the houses in Nice , and mine is cracked in many places . The two other shocks were very slight ones . The effect to myself and others was electrifying ; and I was , as well as every one else , quite sick and bilious . The weather to-day ; has been delightful , and the ponds were frozen this morning and nearly all day .. After the earthquake , there was a hard frost . " '

    HAverdr de Nice , a Liberal and apparent ^ rafher heterodox contemporary in those regions , treats the shock more jocosely . " We had the advantage of assisting-last night at an undress rehearsal of one of those dramas of Nature , especially grand when , as now , the development of the phenomena makes no victims . . . . " After describing the shocks , the Voltairian journalist adds .: — " The -population remains in alarm : this unusual event is the great subject of conversation , and will be for many days . Certain Western -depots will remember that Psalm . of 1 > avid in which the hiDs leap like lambsani 4 the . mountains like rams : the earth .

    , has celebrated the proclamation of the Immaculate , the approaching return of peace and concord . among the 'Christian nations of the orthodox Latin rite . The devSts from another point of the horizon will see in this event a warning and a menace to the Sardinian States , which are said to be determined to make an affiance against the orthodox Christians of the Greek nte , with the communist Governments of Erahce and TEngland . Commons-sense people wift shut -flieir mouths , and congratulate themselves on an adventure Which to the sedentary naturalist is a rare piece of good luck , especially when it does no harm . "

    Two severe shocks ofi earthquake were experienced at Turin at the . same time as at Nice . They-were undulatoyy , ; iu the direction N . E : —S . W ., and preceded and accompanied by a rumbling noise and violent wind . The shocks succeeded close upon each other , and Tasted several seconds each . Ttappears thatthey were felt much more severely in the environs of Turin than in the city itself , since in the former they caused such terror among the inhabitants that they ran out of their dwellings ; which was not generally the case at Turin . Naples , like Rome , has recently been " drunk with joy" in celebrating officially the proclamation of tlie Immaculate Conception .

    The Tuscan ^ Government has forbidden -consanpte to find substitutes'for "t h ^" mTKtary ~ service . arirecent ^ decree of the French Government abolishes the system of substitutes , and proposes itself to furnish them on the payment of a fixed tax .
