Cleveland it was thought, could not be trust.d with the writing of the letter, and so has gone away for a long enough tiwe to give Tilden a chance to have at least a fortnight of rtumination over this important document.

Among_ other ovidences of violenco and agitation in Brooklyn may be mentioned the STOPPING OF CLOCKS and the throwing down of a kigh pile of Dricks, the swaying of Jamps and pictuces and the like, Many Sunday schools were in ees- slon at the time, and the teachers had in some instances great difficulty in allaying the terror of the children and preventing i panic. ’ From reports received from Long sland, it Hivet | appears the carthquake visited that region with greater severity then this city, Along the Atlantic coast of the Tsland the shock was very violent and the vibrations seemed to in- increase in power as they traveled eastward, In Jamaiea the vibrations lasted ten seconds and the chimneys on several houses toppled over, No serious damage, however, is re- potted from any place, In Long Island City, Flushing, Whitestone, and Gollege Point, the TREMBLING OF THE GROUND was distinctly felt, and the shaking of houses was precept'ble, © Two hundred and fifty the ministerial education bill.

France s obliged to support her demauds by seizing the guarantee, Admiral s vspes, thercfore, on August b, occupied the port of Kelung and the coal mines in that vicinity. Patenotre has Informed Li Hung Chang that the duration of the French occupation depends entirely upon the ction of China, which can shorten it by paylog an indemnity of cighty million francs in ten yearly installments, very greatly alarmed, the fright in some cases ounting o a panic.
