I'ER EARTHQUAKE AT n. YORK. We stated
yesterday that severe shock of an earthquake
vas felt at New York and its vicinity on Sun
day evening. 1t appears that it was felt more
az less distinctly at several points on Long ISL
and, Connecticut, &c. The Journal of Com
meTce, judging from the various accounts,
thinks this must have been the most violent
earthquake felt in that vicinity for great num-
Der of years, and fears we shall hear disastrous
Intelligence from the West Indies or South
America, or both. The editor of the Post says:
we were reclining at the time on couch
Il house situated in the village of Roslyn,
long Island, when the building begun sudden
iy to shake with great violence, so that the
windows ratified and the rafters cracked Our
trs. impression was that somebody was endea-
Nornc to move a heavy stove on the floor be-
oW; then It was suggested by one of our COM
psnlcns that violent wind had sprung up but
as the shaking of the house was soon followed
o. deep hollow sound like the rolling of thun-
de' under the earth, it became evident that the
phenomena were the effects of an earthquake.
4he trembling and sound must have lasted
@peAt two minutes. The movement of the
solAn was very deliberate one, and seemed to
rs 10 DC IN direction from South to North or
perhaps little to the East Of North. We az
te7WaTds learned that the shock had been felt
IL all paEls oil The village, and the persons who
spoke OF the noise compared it to the rushing
q heavy chariots along hard stony street.
Some of those who were outdoors pretended
to say that the shock was accompanied by
orset electrical eScitaton Of the air, but of
these appearances we could get no confirmation
