The King immediately ordered the coachman to stop , to ascertain
the extent of the injury received by her Majesty , and , finding it was not serious , proceeded on his r « uto to St . Cloud . The author of this outrage was a woman named Stephauio Girodot , a servant out of place , and apparently wretchedly POOr . / She was examined without delay by M .

Earthquakes in Pebthshike . —A series of these alarming subterranean cbnyulsions , the fearful' effects of which we have so often m * lately read of as happening in . otliet countries , took place last week in Cneff and the heighbourhoQd , With a vio ' erico which has not been folt for many years past . One of these occurred , about lour o ' clock en the morning of Thursday-last , and was distinctly felt throughput this and the upper portion of Strathearn ; Tho shock generally resembled a Bitiart but seyore crash , acconipanied with a tremulpus motion , and loud continued noise , not unlike distant thunder , but .-more hollow
anil deep in its tone . On Saturday , again , no fewer than lour shocks occurred during the day , one of > vhich ; about three o'clock , p . m ,, was- very violent , so much so , that general attentipn was arrested by it ; / and many of the itthabitants ran into the street . Considerable excitemeut prevailed in tlie towa ; in someof the shops the botUe > audoirockery were reeling ou the ghelyes , and in private houses similar effects among the furniture , &o . were very apparejit To the West , ; wehear tho earthquake was also very forcibly felt , although iu no instance auy eruption or damage has as yet been experienced . —Cofreiipptid&nt of the Scotsman .

Self-Destruction . —At half-past twelve on Friday mgrning , a female , dressed in light-coloured clothes , apparent ly between twenty and twentyifiVe years of age , and . rather of diminutive stature ^ committed self-destrnction by leaping over Waterloobridge into the river Thames , on the Middlesex-side . The act was observed by" a great number of p # rsbns and an effort was made to save her , but without succefls . Her body has not yet been found . Arbroath . —An account of an attempt and fail ' ure , by th © Reverend Mr . Burns , to get up a " revi ^ val" in Arbroath , is given in th « 4 rbrotith Herald of the 11 th instant : — " Except froni tho pulpit of Lady Loan Church , we understa « d the recent' religipus reTiyals have not been alluded to by a ' nv
minister in the town ;; but the Biverehdf Mr . Macbethy we are informed , has of . late deyoted a great tleal of his attention to the subject . On Sunday last , it was announced in several of the churches ^ that Mr , W , C . Burns , of Dundee , would deliver a revival sermon in Lady Loan Church , on Wednesday evening , at eight o'clock ; and , as might have been expected , an iinmeuse crowd congregated in front of : the church some time before the doors were opened ; Long be * fore the hour appointed : for the commencement of the services > every corner of the church was crammed .: there must have been from fourteen to fiftoen hundred presant , only , a very few of whom ( fifty or sixty perhaps ) were mere children . The remainder consisted of grown-up persons of Both sexes , in
aDPut , equal numbers ; nearly the whole of whom remained to the conclusion of the services ; Shortly af ^ r ejgh tj p ' clock , JV | r , Bjirns made his appearance and , after ispending considerably more time than is * usual , apparently engaged-in privateV devotion / he assumsd his feet , coolly surveyed the gazing crowd by which he , was surrpuhdea ^ and again appeared absorbed in mental prayer . Thfo occupied several minutes ; but at length , in a drawling tone , he read the 130 th Psalm . He then entered into an explanatory comment upon it , which occupied exactly threequarters of an hour . By . the wayj though little versed m theology , we must remark this is the first time we have heard the metrical version of the rsalms taken as a ground for comment . Mr . Burns Went
over the translation of the 130 tk line by line and almost word for word ; and dwelt at considerable length on the meaning and import of several " words , which ^ whether in the original Or npt ^ though the sense will ; no doubt , admit of their being implied —are not to bo found in the prose translation in -common use . The Psalm having been sung , a very leiigtheiied prayer followed ; which was succeeded by a few verses of another Psalm , without eommentand then a b ' . essirig was implored upon the further services about to be engaged in . : It was now about ten o ' clockj and numbe s left the church apparently very much to the annoyarice of the -reverend gentleman . He then read the 1 st Johnj l . 3 ; upon the last clause of which he spoke forabout hour
^ an , in a light , chatting , gossipping Stylo ^ remarkable oiily for the infinite dealx > f nothing which he contrived to deliver bo self-compiaceiitly . He seemed to uS to completely realise the idea gonerally entertained of a cant preacher . The greater part of his ' sermon ' was composed of the merest drivel , intermixed with whit seemed to us to verg © very closely on impiety , attd what if uttered by a layman , would , we are confident , have been denounced , if not as gross blasphemy , at least as something highl y indecorous and unbecoming ; We must hoWeyer , give him credit for one very palpable hit At the coiiclusion of his' disconrsei' it was evident thata general move was contemplated by his audience . Clpaks and shawls were adjusted , hats into
squeezed proper shape , and gloves put on ; but on the announcement that those who fould not stay later ( it was now eleven o'clock ) had better go then and not disturb tVve audience , every seat Was resumed . Mr . Bums continued , that , if they could stay , perhaps he might get a blessing for them ; and on he went in a timilar strain for near ' ah hour longer ; but , alas Us he so pointedly remarked , 'the people of Arbroath had no-edge , ' and all his efforts to bring his audience to a groaning and fainting S «^ ^ were unavailing . He ^ ft no method untnea . At ^ oce time his tace was wreathed in ^ , ^ d ; ho . j , sped put his sentences inwlShe no doubt considered tones of melting : tenderness At another he would look black as Eretus Se £ ten : fUries , ; terrible as helljtut the 3 y * f Ws audience was unimoved .
