On Sunday the 17th March about half past 1 o'clock, violent shocks of an earthquake were felt in various ' parts of England. The earth seemed to undulate like water -for a little while and to rest leaving those who perceived it confounded at first and terrified on recollection at the danger which they had escaped. A QUEER MATCH. The marriage of the prince Cuburg to her royal highness Charlotte, (wheneber that princess ascends to the throne of her ancestors) will afford a phenomenon in the legislation and in law. The husband will be the subject of the wife, and have in virtue of his marriage no more power than any other subject of the realm. His wife will be adorned with the title & dignity of her royal majesty--wield the whole executive power of Great Britain ; dictate the movements of the armiee and the fleets convoke or disolve parliament at her pleasure while the poor husband will be compelled to look on Without having any agency in the business. It becomes the husband to behave himself well, and to keep his proper distance ; for such a state of things might exist, that this very spouse might if he should treat his sovereign wife with disrespect, be brot' to the block for " compassing and imagining the death" of her royal majesty. Such tremendous wives would not be relished by evi l rri; x i 4. ery husband. This is at least a .. r. ,.i i a departure from the old proverb that the husband should band in petticoats. Aurora.
