There has been some little speculation as to the direction of the late earthquake; bears such marks ofconvulsions as Eboule- merits and Baie St. Paul, though it is severe shock has been felt.’ nearly two hundred years since such a A letter received last evening from Riviere Ouclle, written on \Vedne‘sday afternoon, contains the following extract :â€" “ This morning?three-violent shocks of an earthquake plunged, our population into a state ,of terror. , The buildings situated on both sides of the river have ‘suffercd considerably: The chinineys‘ofthe houses belonging to h’lesisrs. Cliarles‘Tetu. M. Freiiette, CharlesCasgrain, AgustusCas- grain, Madame F. Frenette, and nine or ten others, have) fallen ; the cross surl mounting the spire ’ofiour church has also fallen. The earthquake was alarmingly violent; the first and most severe shock began at a' quarter past six and lasted four minutes and forty secondsâ€"violent during ten seconds and becoming gradually weak- er. Tlieuweakest oscillation commenced at, twentyâ€"lii’iéjfli'iinptes prst .six lasting three or afoursEcOnds;biit the third, like the first, Wasairattling shockzwhich hurled down pictures, clacks, 81c, and lasted two or three secOnds. The shocks were not so much felt» onthe heights as on the plains. I stood before a time-ipeace during the whole of the time the phenomenOn lasted, for the purpose, of comparing its duratioa here with otherlocalities. Never in the memory of any of the, inhabitants here has there been such a violent earthquake. \Ve were warned of its approach, by a low rumbling sound, and-the shocks were ac- companied by a cracking noise.’ ‘New .

OCT. 26. 1860 Counter du Canada-rbolder than the others, speaks with great positiveness, but ‘very slender information on the subject. "‘On observing the different “ times at which the shocks were felt in the “ different itowns ' mentioned below,’ says this very positive authority, “ it is easy to asure one’s “self that the direction of the move- ment was “from the west. Thus, at Belleâ€" yille, the last “shock took place at half- .past' five o’clook,.at “Quebec at ten minâ€" -‘-utes before-six, and at Bic at six precisely.’ 31f this proves anything at all as to the .‘dircction, of .themovement, it prayes ex- actly. the contrary to that which .it is cited to' establish.‘ The writer has forgotten to allow for the influence oflongitude on time. The reported-time in all these cases is the local time; and if the obServations were ~accuate, the shock was felt at Quebec :‘before it ‘was felt at Belleville. The re- ..ported'difference in local time between the - occurrance of the phenomena at these two places is twenty minutes; but the real difference in longitude is twenty'two and a Elialf minutes. If, therefore, the local time was exact, in each case, and the obser-‘ vation of it exact, also, the shock must Eliave occurred at Quebec two and a half minutes before it occurred in llelleville. And the other fact mentionedâ€"that the .shock was felt at Bic precisely at six goes to show, not that there was any great :difl'erence in the time of the occurranee of ‘.tlie shocks, at different places, but that ,itbey were about simultaneous. This differeiicefibetween ten'miiiutes‘ to six, at Quebec, and six o’clock at Bic, accords almost eXactly with the actual difference in ithe time at thesetwo places; which in nine ‘emiiiutes‘ and fifteen second.‘ ' ' "There are other facts tending to the ' ‘rsame' concli'ision. The telegram from Riviere du Loup does not give the exact - ,time; but states that it was “ about six.’ "The actual difference in time between Quebec and Riviere du Loup is six King Township Agricultural Show. 1 The usual Fall Exhibition of the. above Societie’s Show was held at Lashey on the 16th, and was the best one ever held in the Township; there wore upwards of 660 entries.

'we take “about six” to mean a little be- fore six, the facts go to establish that the ,sliocks,_,,a.t the different places, were as nearely as possible simulaiieous. The tele- gram from Isle Vertc also gives the hour of occurrence at about six; 'which wOulu just make the difference in the actual time between that Island and Quebec. I _ . The reported, time of the occurrence of 2;": ,‘ttliegshoclrgves‘en‘ when” .tbre is a‘ pretence” ' ‘ t_' fat giving‘it with precision, is evidently ” sometimesinaccuratcly stated. Thus, at the-River Cecile, one of the shocks is re-. ‘ l'p‘orted to have Occurred at twenty min-g lites past six; the longitudial difference in; time between. that point and Quebec can-f not .be 113032 than five minutes. Besides, this neport does not agree with- any other ;. and the time given must be set down loin- accuracy of observation, or an incorrect timeâ€"piece. The different accounts, so . r for asstbey corroborate one another, go to show,'whenalloivance is made for the dif- ference-in local time, that the occurrence of the shocks were almost simultaneous. If the direction of the movement could be shown by the diwffer-ence in the time of the ' occurrence of the shocks, the necessary “ data is “ranting. ‘ THE EARTHQUAKE.

A friendly match was proposed and accepted by the Spartan and Springhill Clubs, the first of which came off upon the grounds of the latter on Saturday, October 6th, thg day being eXceedingl‘y fine, and all that cricketers could desire“: Mr. Graham, of King, and Mr; A‘ C.’ Osborne, of Maple", acted as um-‘ pires for the occasion; Wickets' were pitc’hcd about half-pa‘s‘t one, p.m., when the Spring-bill eleven having won the toss, sent their op- ponents in to the Bat, who finished the innings with the nice little score of 28.. The Spr’inghill el‘cverr then went in,,and brought'off a: score of 15. The Spartans agairi took the bat, and brought their" sobring upto 76, when their oppo- nents went in and figured to the score of 82, with five wickets to spare. The bowling on both sides was very good; Porter made the fine score of 41, containing a 6, a, 3, and ten tWO’s. At the close of the game the combatants adjourned to Mr. Ros's’s, and the party sat down to an excellent supper pro-r vided by the hospitality of the Springliill Eleven. Supper ended and the cloth removed, the usual loyal toasts and others were pro- posed and drank, and they separd ated with the greatest good feeling. Below will be found the score 1-- MAPLE ELEVEN.

Among the most efficient means of giving useful information to the people at large, may be reckoned public lectures, and it is gratifying to observe that in many parts of the;country their value is fully appreciated. 5 ln Toronto, the Ontario Literary Society is earning a high reputa- tion, by its vvisc and energetic ef- forts, to Secure for that city, during the coming season, astaff of lecâ€" turers who hold the first rank in that profession. Why can we not follow a similar course here, Mr. Editor? True, we can hardly ex- pect to secure Messrs. Beecher, Gouglt, Banks and Giddings, but we can secure the best efforts Of many men of talent and education during the winter, if we set about it in time. I have been informed that the lectures delivered in this place last winter, under the aus- pices of the Mechanics Institute. were eminently successful in en- listing the interest ofthe public.â€" Past success should inspire us Willi confidence offuture prosperity.

The fielding of the Spartanswas much better than before. the splendid batting of Porter having come to an untimely end through a-fine catch by Mathe- son. There was rather a curious coincidence between the batting of Porter and T. H. Bone, the latter going in this ttme for a score of 41, containing a 6, a 3, and 8 two’s.
