WELLINGTON.
Earthquake.— A sharp shock of an earthquake was felt about twenty minutes past one o’clock yesterday morning. The vibration continued for about sixty seconds and then stopped, but commenced again and lasted for about ten seconds. It was decidedly the heaviest shock that has been experienced in Wellington since the great earthquakes of 1855. All household animals testified their affright by making a noise, and, in about two minutes after its cessation, lights were to be distinguished in almost all the houses on both Te Aro and Thorndon Elats.— Advertiser, Feb. 24.
