A- bout ijic mi Mie of lad century, after the earthquake at Lisbon. Eur-pe, Africa, end America were for fome time repeated¬ ly agitated by fubtcrrancan explofions ; which may Le feen by referring to the journals of that ti e. JE na: which had been in a Hate of profound repofe for eigh¬ ty year?, broke out with great activity, and, according to Humboldt, fome of the molt tremendous earthqu ike- nnd volcanic e- ruption*? ever recorded in history were wit- nefied in Mexico. In the bight of the 19th of September, 1759. a vail volcano broke out in a lofty cultivated plain, a trafifcof ground more than twelve mile-* in extent rofe up like a bladder to the height of five hundred and twenty four feet, and fix new mountains were formed higher than the Malvern hills in Worcellerflme. More fecect'y (in 1812) tfjc tremendous earth¬ quake- in the Ca-accis were followed hy an eruption in the Iflmd ..f Sr. Vincent's, horn a volcano that had not been bunting fince the year 1718, and violent ofcilla- tions of th- ground were felt both in the iilands & on the coafieof America It may be inferred from thefe circumflance?, that the caiife <>f earthquakes and volcanic e- rapt ions is feared deep below tr.c furface of the earth During the earthquake at Lis¬ bon, nearly all Europe and a great part of Africa f.lt the (hock mnre or left fevercly : its effects were even fenfible acrofs the At¬ lantic. It is obfetved aKo that earth- qu ike<= arc more fevercly felt in mountain ©U» than in low go unities. This might be cxpecled from the flru&urc of tiie earth, f In alpine diftricTis, the primary mountains arc not puffed with the incum¬ bent maf8 of fecondary rocks, and in Inch filiations the refinance to a force ading from beneath will be much lefs, as all the VVeight of fecondary rocks is removed. In ▼ery violent carthquikes, the fecondary ftrata arcbicken or agitated J but proofs are not wanting, of leflvr vibration^ being flopped by their preflurc. Ihrmboldt fays, he has feen workmen ha (ten from the mines of Marienburgh in Saxony, alarmed by agitations of the earth that were not felt at the furface. louring the earthquake at Lisbon, the miners in ierbyfhire felt the rocks move, and heard noifes which were fcarcely perceived by thofc above. That an expanfive force aftiug fom be¬ neath is the proximate caufe of earth¬ quakes, can fcarcely be denied ; and the prodigiou? power ot fleam, when fuddenly generated, feems equal to their production, if the quantity be lufficicnt'y great. It is faid that a fingle drop of water falling in¬ to a furnace of melted copper, will blow up the whole building. IVow if we con ceive a current of fubterrancan water to find accefs to a mafs of lava many miles in extent, and mod intenfely heated, it would produce an earthquake mere or lefs vio¬ lent in proportion to the quantity of (team generated, and its didance from the fur¬ face. When the hydrogen jras lately ex¬ ploded in a mine near Workington in Cum¬ berland, a (hock like that of an earth¬ quake was felt by (hips in the river at two miles diitance. The horrid crafh like the rattling of carriages, which precedes earthquakes, is occafioncd I conceive by the rending of the rocks or parting of the ftrata through which the confined vapour is forcing a $1 V"- • Humrttldt + See a paper on c."rfi;r|iiakf*s ?>y the Ttrv.

KINGSTON, BjicxxBBM 3, 1819. Owing to fome interruption in our com¬ munication with the American in ore, we have received no papers from New-York of a later date than the i 6th ultimo, and are confequently unable to fumifh our readers this week with 3ny additional intelligence from Europe. The author introduced to our notice by acorrtfpor.dcnt in a foregoing column, cer- £?»rtly appears to poffefs fome poetic tal¬ ent, efpecially when we take into account the obstacles againd which he has to con¬ tend. We have frequently feen vents in the Niagara Gleaner tinder the fignature of Erieus, but were not orevioufly aware cr their bein<( the efFafions of a native Cana¬ dian. We did not fuppofe that our foil, however fertile it might be in other res- pedis, was in any degree adapted to the cultivation of the laurel ; we ha.l always imagined that Clio, with her tuneful fillers, iftftead of wandering fo far from their fa¬ vorite haunts on the Heliconian mountain, °r in Tempe'a flowery vale, would inftinft- ;*ely fhuddcr at the bare idea of venturing into the Heah and frozen regions of Canada.

The attempt to accomplish this nefa/ious de- fign was deliberately wad'c laft Friday morn¬ ing before day break. The party in the firil place, (fome of them from Fredericks- burg,) afiembled at a tavern in the village, wheie they blacken* d their faces, and made other preparations <^>r the attack- They then divided into two parties, one of which proceeded to the fr?nt door oi Mr. Ran- ken's houfe, while the other went round to the kitchen door i" the 1 ear.

"tanktn'a piltol caufed him precipitately to retreat, and his alToci- ates to follow him. The noife occafioncd by the violent blow* made upon the doors, and the report of 'he piilols which Mr. Ranken afterwards ired at the villains as they were retreating, fortunately alarmed fii he of his n<ighb(RSj who rufhed to his alHflanre and fucce-ded to apprehending ( ne of the gang. .I'is man, wh> fe name i* Sharp, has fince been committed to pri- fon, and has made d.clofures wliich we re¬ gret to learn implicate fo ne peifons who formerly bore refpedable characters.

But I am not blind to their many errors, both in point of computation, of reafoning, and I fear, in fome inllances, even of facts: and on thefe grounds though given to the public and placed in fome meafurc beyond the pofiibility of recall, I fhall recaft many of them anew, and either abridge or enlarge the illudrations, as the nature of the fub- jeit may dictate As nothing was further from my view than deriving any pecuniary profit from thefe tfTays, and as I always regarded them a- offerings on the altar of our Pro¬ vincial proipcrity, I fliall give .f?5© out of the net proceeds of the falea, to be diltributed in agricultural premiums, un¬ der trie direction of the Central Board; provided the fubferiptions throughout the Province be fuch as to defray the cxptnfes cf the publication, and leaves furplu- to that extent. If, after this fum, the book fhall yield me any emolument, it mud be owing to the favour and generofity of my friends in recommending it ftrongly to the public notice. It may happen how¬ ever, from the preffure of the times, and perhaps, too from the decay of that interefl and curiolity. which were once fo lively ; that the number of fubferiptions may fall much (hort of what is needed for the charges of printing ; and in that cafe, it will remain as a queftion with the Provincial Agricultural Society, whether the e letters fhall re-appear or be fn fie red to perifh in their prefent fugitive and evanefcent form. Of their imperfections I am fo fenfible, that 1 hardly feel a wifh to commit them to posterity ; and I only yield becaufe many, whofe judgement I elieem, Llunk tliemleives and have tried to perfuade me, that they will be uicful. They will form a full fized odtavo volume, and in all amount to upwards of fixty letters, and thefe interfperfed with the piincipal events that occurred, and have led to the prefent gratifying refults. Such a book could not be publifhed in England, and fold under 12s. and6d. but the grcateft economy fliall be ufed, to brin. them forth here as cheap as pjflible. Subfcriptions fliall be received in town at the Office of the Acadian Recorder, and in the country by the Secretaries, only of the different Agricultural Societieties. The lift fhall be clofed, and tranfmitced to me by the 15th November next; and I fhall then have the materials before me to determine, whether the publication fhall take place or not ; for if the thing be not an objedt of intereft. it fhall not be forced by me on the public attention.

A miffionary eltablifhment is about to be made on the Iflanda of Owhyhee ; they lie in the South sea, in about from nineteen to twenty-two degrees north, and longi- tuoe from one hundred and fifty to one hundred and fixty wed. The nativeb of Owhyhee have already made very conud- erable advances in civilization. Their late or prefent king, Pomare, wrote a very leg¬ ible hand, a fpecimen of which we have feen. His piime minifter was named Mr. Pitt ; his minider cf judice was tattooed in one half of his body—the other half was of a bright and fhining color, the natural complexion of the natives,—He would set with gieat dignity and hear the parties, plaintiff and defendant, and ro wbi^rv^r of the parties he turned the sable side of his countenance judgment was given. The king, in imitation of Eurrpean monarchs, gave a pompous entertainment on his birth day. An American fiiip having been feen off the Island of Tahete, a canoe came along side, and the captain and hands were all much aftonifhed to hear the native* fpeak the Englifh language. The canoe contain¬ ed no lefs a perfonage than Mr Piti. He came on board and informed the captain of the chara&crof his gueft : he dated that became by the orders of his royal malter, in whofe name he demanded the donation of a boitle of rum, which was to be drank upon his birth day.—They are an amiable people, who. if they once profefs friend¬ ship, are invincible in thnr fidelity.
