The Gazelle of Thursday last contains (he following: New Hebrides. —Port Resolution. Island of Tanna. —Captain Kilgour, of the Stanley schooner, reports that tire formation.of Port, Resolution has been considerably altered by the effects of an earthquake which took place at 7 a.m. on the 10th of January, and which was followed by a wave said to have been some 20 feet in height. , The shook lasted about half a minute, throwing down, —according to the report-of Mr. Neilson, the missionary—about 40 acres of the high land forming the North Head, Prom the r ;cks on the north-west side of the entrance to the large shelving rock immediately opposite the ■missionary s house; Captain Kilgour found no c’-ange to interfere with the navigation ; but the rock itself appeared to have .been raised about 10 feet, and a long ledge of coral rock, extending from it S. by E. about 50 yards, thrown up above high water, thereby narrowing the harbor to that extent, just above what was formerly the host anchorage. He further states that the harbor now presents a totally different appearance to that shown on the charts and described in the sailing directions, the principal changes having taken place on the western shore, while the depth of water in the port has shoaled about a fathom. ...... Vessels are cautioned to be very careful if leaving the mid-channel, and not .to proceed further up the harbor than Missionary’s Point. . ' ' , G. P. Heath, Commander R N., Portmaster.
