Auckland, last night. Tho Tongan correspondent of the Herald states :—“ We have had plenty of earthquake shocks, and although nothing to he compared with the siesmic disturbances in New Zealand, yet two shocks on November 12th, at 11 a.m. and at 2.30 p.m., were sufficiently powerful and alarming to cause the natives to rush, yelling, from their houses, which they were afraid were about to collapse. Beyond a few articles of crockery and glassware, which came to grief in some of the stores and European houses, no damage was done. Another very severe shock occurred o.i Tuesday morning last (December 3), at 2 a.m., which aroused most el tiie people.' 1
