EARTHQUAKE AT AtANIL.LA.

-s••••Mw.--

:The following account of an:earthquake at Manilla
is extracted from the 'Siegapere Journal of January 1:
.4 Xiie.lteaper, Captain nand, arrived six dais ago,
from Manilla, the 12th of December. The most inte-
resting article of intelligence by her is, that of a rather
violent earthquake, which happened there on the 9th of
last mouth. , It occurred at half-past six in the evening.

undulating, causing a rolling and creaking in the houies
'like that experienced in a ship at sea, 'though less 'in
degree it is to bcpresumed. The hanging lamps moved

him; he thought iii motion caused by his having touched
it with the brim of his hat, Lewis undeceived at the
nest-unduLition, when the chair on which he stood wits

.massiwe gates of
the Puente Grande, one of the entrances of the tfly, to
swing upon their hinges, so that a gentleman passing
