It will be seen that the ro'stion is mid like that given by the St, Catharines Journal, but whether the time was coincident or not we do oat recollect. The account is as follows: A Smittou Pix:roxerron.-..A mom singuliv oc currence happened iv our village' and vicinity, en Friday night, or rather Saturday morning last.— The day provixtus had been clear and mild, and the evening closed in starry and cloudless. At about in o'clock the sky became oyercast, and unusual darkness prevailed, which continued to the time of the occurrence, which way about half-past two.— The phenomenon commenced with a heavy, distant, rumbling sound beneath, somewhat like distant thatedor, except that it Will more smothered, witioh rapidly approached and increased to a climax, and then receded and died away. The roar as it ap proached was interrupted by one grand explosion louder than-the loudest thunder, and by a aeries of reports less loud and less defined, the wlt•ile ending with the same heavy rumbling with which it com menced. The only intelligent description that can be given of the sound was that it was terrible arid appalling. Many who were awakened by it from their sleep, pronounced it unearthly. From the first, a tremulous motion was communicated to the earth causing a rattling of the windows, which in creased with the roar, to such an extent that the buildings were violently shaken, displacing furni ture, rattling dishes,Le. The motion was sufft• cient to cause the bll in the church to strike n ne or Len times. The Academy bell rung also, though lower down, and in a position to be less affected by the vibratory motion of the earth. Some who were standing in their houses at the time of the shock, say that in the heizht of it, it was quite impossible to stand unassisted. In one instance a chimney was thrown down. In stone and brick buildings the effect was greater and more threatening. Our villagers were everyistbert arous• ed, and many rushed into the streets, each suppos ing that his neighbor's house was being overthrown by some violent explosion. In other places, in particular directions, the shock and reports seemed equally or inure severe and ter sac. Mr. Calvin ‘Vakefield, a candid mart of un doubted veracity, living roma six miles easeof here, says that the shuck threw several stones from his cellar wall.

Nearly all concur in pronouncing it an earthquake —a genuine, bona fide earthquake. Whet facts are at hand are given to sustain this, First,. The noise wits clearly subterreneao; the motion of the earth; the abteence, as all.cunCrtn, of any light or Bash; no emlicn barometric cliatii;e•—factr, however, would go to show there was suffieieut diaturhalea sr change in the atmosphere for dumb beasts to dis cover that something unusual was about to Occur. The dogs barked and howled in :he street fur some time pretious and three confined tranifente I the greatest uneasiness. It is postible, however, that the muttering. was heard by them before it broke out loud enoogh to wake sleepers. As fur the direction in wh ch the sheet traveled, we are convinced it was from east to went.- W. have beard from different points from reliab!e %mimes, and find that at Remsen, Trenton. anti Holland Patent, nothing was experieneed; at Turin quite heaVy; at Watertown slight, at Adams heavy, and if reports are corre:.t. heavier than here. From these facts, it would appear evident that the course of the—whatever it was—was from east to west, or vies versa.

The time has arrived when there is too mach wealth in the country, for efforts of that kind to meet with SUCCOR. There are tankers in almost all oar &ties, who are entirely independent of Wall street, established with a sufficient amount of capital to live without and in spite of them, Gild to withataad may rig that can be brought to bear upon them from that quar ter. That a spirit of speculation Is abroad in the land is Use, and that all reasoualale men should set their faces against it before it gets beyond control is equally so, but that a few banks and brokers in Wall @qui should at tempt co rule the money affdirs• of the whole country, is' simply foolish, and will end in showing them that the power they once had is gone from them. While we have seen notices from all quarters of the money market in New York. we have Sega from the same sources also, that basks were discounting freely at low rates and that so seareity was felt in any other locality. We look upon the railroad mania as the one moat to be deplored at the present, fur the height to which it has attained cannot be sustained for any great length edam, and when it goes down, it is to be feared that the good will be prostrated with the bad, and that a re-action will take place which will work a great injury to the bailees' of the country generally. There are many Railway pro jects en foot now, which if completed wilqbe vastly use ful to trade and travel, while at the same time enemy are agitated and money actually invested In them which are waistlines, coming in competition, with works alrea dy built, and which if completed meat either be of no use themselves or mitt these running pastel with them. ft is estenishiag that the whole usury will run mad as it were upon any kind of speculation. after the salutary Issues of 1836-37, but they are juat as insane now as then with the exception that then it was corner lots and new it is Railroads. We say BOG. it cannot hart illtlf• and the roads that are haat and running before the itb bin bursts will be much better offtbao those that areot.
