+ The EARTHQUAKE noticed by all the
morning papers as having occurred the
night previous, turns out to be no great
shakes after all. Nothing more than the
blowing up Of the powder magazine at
Alton.
BY the captain of the steamboat Eagle,
which came in yesterday evening, we.
learn that the powder magazine in Alton,
situated above the steam mill, and under
and between the bluff and the river, was
fired, and exploded about halfpast eleven
O'Clock at night. There were in it 400
Kegs of powder belonging to different
merchants. The report is represented as
tremendous beyond the imagination of
any onewho did not hear it. The build
ing was of stone, not a vestige remains
on the ground. Some stones were thrown
across the Mississippi and to an immense
height, some of which in falling cut their
way through the roof and several floors
of buildings. A rock three feet long fell
on the roof of warehouse and stopped
at the ground floor. Another stone of
several pounds weight cut through roof
and two floors, and fell on a bed between
man and his wife-no one was injured.
Nearly every pane of glass in Lower and
Upper Alton was broken, and in the
penitentiary and several other buildings
the sashes were carried into the room.
Nothing but the hour at whichit occurred
prevented the loss of life.
When the Eagle left, two men had
been arrested under suspicion that they
had fred it by train laid through the
crevices in the wall. They were under
going examination. No other motive is
assigned for the act than wanton mischief.
| The report was distinctly heard and the
shock felt here, a distance of about %
miles, and even several miles beyond this.
So great was the jar and so loud the re-
port, that the spectators in the theatre
made for the doors and people ran out of
their houses. The passengers on board
the Rosalie, which was about nine miles
below Alton when it exploded, speak of
the shock and report being very great
| there, and state that they saw the FASH
st Louis Republican.
