1 The earthquake which I noticed in my last, it
appears, produced considerable damage and lea of •
, life at Brown. The manufactory of the Armenia
banker Djesairll was completely destroyed, as walla
i a school, containing 150 children, who were, it Is
understood, all buried under its ruins. The greater
, part at the minarets toppled, and the mosques and I
I stone buildings in general were much damaged. The
total loss of life is calculated to amount to about 400
persons, besides others severely injured. The sum
. details are not as yet fully. known, and it is still
, hoped that the account in circulation may be found
he exaggerated.
Beraskier yesterday sent in a complaint b
the British and French embassies in respect to tits
dangerous and revolting manner adopted relatively r
to the burial of the dead. This is, in all probability, f
the result of the steps taken by the council of heal&
in reference to this matter, and which, let us hope,
will put a stop henceforward to these abuses.
