BAR7IIQUAKES IN BTRI4I. -110.• SVEDIA, WEAR ANTIOSH, NOV. 29.1921. *" Since the 18th of lest month, few days have passed without •one, and Oita several shooks of au earthquake, but generally with much diminished violence. kVith the exception of an intermission now and Wen of a few days, earthquakes have been felt here for nearly four months. A remarkable eircous stance in this phenomena is, that the slightest shocks have been alstrays simultaneously felt at Antioch and Aleppo, as wen as the principal shock which threw down those cities.— Tbe distance is about 60 miles ; the focus or central point must therefore be at an inconceivable depth in the bowels of the globe, to affect equally two places su far from each other. As soon as the excessive heats of September had abated, I was preparing to return to Aleppo, when my journey was postponed by the apprehension then entertained of the chains aserbsts being Added to the dresdful oelantity of the earthquakes ; that con tagious disorder having successively passed from town to town, from Persia to Orli, a city in Mesepotamia, three days' journey from Aleppo. To-day I have been informed that hopes cam no longer be entertained of its non existence at Aleppo ; that the Austrian, Neapolitan, Danish, and Swedish agents Wm spitted the city with their families and numerous depot:dada, to go into the neighbouring PaCtiallio of Damascus an.. Saida ; and that the Preach acid Spanish Consuls, with all the other ‘Kuropeans, have eel off all moninuaicetion with the people, as in time of plague." . .• DEC. 31.—When I wrote on the 29th of 11'4 moath the shilera worlms had compelled moat of the public agents at Aleppo to quit the environs of that city, and the rest of the -Suropeans to s ut their doors, as in time of plague ; but it was hoped the approach of cold weather would prevent the progress of the disease. 1 have now the pleasure to inform you, that the hope has been realized, and that the cholera ftsorbue is no longer one of the evils to which this aulteppy people is • exposed ; although some are not without the apprehension, that, like the plague, although now stopped by the cold, 4t may break eat again with the return of the warm season. On the other hand •1 sin sorry to say, that severe sbocke of earthqnakes were felt on the 12th, 22d, and 24th inst., preceded and followed by *hocks of lesser violence, *bleb obliges even those who have bad the means of building more substantial dwellings, to bear We inclemency of this season in temporary huts, with roofs supported by stakes." LOSE OF THE ALERT PACKET. A letter received in town states, that the vessel struck at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, on the Wed Noose Rock, about a 'ride and a half from the shore; • she was then drifting wish the tide, at the rate of ten knots an hour; when approaching the rock, the men were put into the boat to tow her oil; but to no effect-- she struck and went down in about three quarters of an • hour. In the mean time Moe of the deck passengers, and one cabin passenger (a 'Liverpool watchmaker), leaped from the bowsprit into the bon. The captain leaped overboard, and was lashed to its Wm.

He continued in the packet while any hopes remained, throwing out buckets of water, end was seen afterwards attached to a aye of eggs, in the water, by a deck passenger, who was on the saute crate. He remained clinging to it for er out 15 mihutes ' and exclaiming aloud, Oh, Gad ! is there tio hope of relief t" At the expiration of a quarter of an hour he let go t.is hold and sunk to rise no more.-- The man who was on the crate with him says, he did not seem completely exhausted at the time. lit ten minutes after our dear friend went down, the boat that rescued MtKensie and the two deck passengers, reached • the (Tate."
