An Alarming Earthquake at the Bay.

The most severe earthquake shock experienced
at San Francisco since its settlement by Ameri-
cans occurred at fifteen minutes to one o'clock
on Sunday, Oct. sth. The vibration was from
northeast to southwest. The Bay papers so far
as we have seen, refer to the shock as a not at
all startling visitation, while the reporters for
the Sacramento and Narysyille papers telegraph
that another shock Of equal severity would un-
doubtedly level that portion Of the city bounded
by the water front, Market and Montgomery
streets The following details are from the ac-
count furnished by the Sacramento Union tee-
