Abstract
WE were visited by an earthquake of some violence this morning at 2 A.M. (Cadiz mean time). The shock was preceded by a profound subterraneous noise like that of a distant carriage, and it extended to Port St. Mary and Port Royal (six miles). The earthquake travelled from south to north approximately; some clocks stopped.
