lumdred yards from the east side of the pier at-Wemygs
in Fife, which the sea been long underMiding, fell
with a tremendous crash, the poise.of whiCh exceeded
that of the loudest thunder; and Made the terrified iu
habitants start from their sleep, under the impression
that some awful convulsion of nature had taken place.
By this disruption, a considerable number of trees,
which grew on the summit, Were precipitated to the
beach, along with an immense .quantity of stone, of
which it is supposed that many of the.masses cannot be
less than from five to six tons in Weight,

such as have been in :circulatiost fot some time, would
have caused a depression in the Funds of Two or Three
per Cent. So great, howevefi is the immense Capital

have not had the slightest effect.— Stocks continue
rising, and'a further advance is looked to by the Bulls,
who, no way alarmed, have increased their accounts.
