EARTHQUAKE AT SAN FRANcIsco-TEe
correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Com

A, 8 o'clock this morning (l5th May)
We had severe shock of an earthquake
The buildings all shook and lrembled. The
gamblers upon Long Wharf rushed from
their tables into the street, looking up with
establishment and wonder, as though some
great thing had happened unto them. They
rushed upon the pier, leaving their gold and
silver upon their gambling tables entirely
unprotected. The lawyer occupants in the
s'aunch brick banking house of F. Argent
s. Co., living up stairs in the Cd and Sd
stories, rushed into the streets 'ssans cere-
monie," just as they leaped from their beds!
Many of the wooden buildings heaved to
and fro, and trembIed as though we were
all to be engulphed IN moment. The sun
was shining beautifully at the time, and the
thermometer ranging about 60.

Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work believed to be superior to any that have
ever BEEN taken. In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been long established to need any
recommendations His dagucreotypes in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avgnon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper I6 by % ,nches made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope il

and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation Each of the great de-

undertaking. that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
istrious men OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
AS no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most OF citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
