Rain contitiu s ed to fall all night ; and,on the ifd, at break of day, an enormous mass of eatth pit it... self in motion at the top of the mountain, .and drew with it the level ground at the bottom. The:rOof of the Church fell first, and then fifty-seven houses gradually one after the other. This melancholy scene laited all day. During the night the earth moved insensibly, and transported more than zoo paces from their former si tuation, the ruins of the houses which had been thrown down ; and on the 74th, in the morning, the houses which remained standing-, were surrounded by a perpendicular precipice fifty toises in height. Vines, gardens, olive plants, all giving way to the weight'of the moving mountain, were carried into the neighbouring torrent. The earth has found support against a rock in the territory of Bestgs-no, and has covered the bed of the torrent, which now - forrni a wide and deep lake. One of the - best cultivated mountains is now a naked rock.' At the'bottorn, for the space of 4.000 paCes in length, and i 000 in breadth,. there is nothing'to he heen but a mass of ruins, trees' torn up, and • the earth filled with lakes and ponds.

The profits of Drury Lane Theatre, for the pre. sent season up - to Christmas, have been fir above what have been-stated in the Public Prints. It is to be considered - also, that if the Managers have, for the present, lost the powerful support of KIIMB L and Mrs. SIDDONS. they 'have at least saved the amount of their salaries. The same may be said respecting BII,I.INGTON. It is very much .to the credit of the Board of Management of Drury Lane Theatre, that they ac. cePt nu requital for their services.
