Extract of a letter from Windsor, April 4. "This town was so
full this day, that beds lett at a guinea each, the
concourse of people being as numerous as at an installation
(supposed to be occasioned by the pannick fear of a third
shock of an earthquake.) A very odd accident happened at the
White Hart; some young people dancing in a room, shook down
two Delft jars of a very large size, which broke to pieces
in the fall, and made such a noise, that it alarmed all the
people in the house, who thinking it to be an earthquake,
immediately run out, which alarmed the town, so that it was
empty presently, and the field, called the Play-Fields, in
Eaton, was crowded all night."
