LYTTELTON.
A second shock from an earthquake was felt on Sunday last here ; stronger than the former one. The sensation produced was very similar to that experienced when travelling in a railway train. The first was felt, we learn, at Wellington, and still more severely at Nelson. The shock of Sunday last was felt by the Fair Tasmanian at sea, the progress of the vessel being momentarily checked. The new road made to Dampier’s Bay, below the Bridie Path, bids fair to rival, as a promenade, the Sumner Road. *. A little town is springing up in its locality, for which the extent of level ground there provides. Per-
haps no more healthy symptom, as regards the prosperity of the settlement, than this rapid population of the suburbs, could be adduced.— LytleltonTimes, September 13.
