THE EARTHQUAIE AT RHODES.

—o—
A oorrespondent of the Temps gives the following
porniculare of thin
sad calamity, under date Rhodes, April
28 On the 22nd inert. we felt the shock of an earth-
quake, such as bad never been felt here before. Not a ries!e
building in Rhodes or in the villages has escaped uniojured.
The great tower of St. Michael gave way, and the little that
islets threatens every minute to fall into the port and block
up the entrance. The lighthouse tower I. ruined, am well as
the Pekoe of the Grand Masters, .recently converted into
• prison ; the walls of the town are more or lees
damaged, besides all the churches. At Trianda only
• dozen houses are left standing. Twelve other ail.
lages have been completely destroyed. There have been
in all 300 persona killed, and an immense number
wounded. Of all the villages Mainari bee antlered most.
Out of 46 families only 35 prom have been eared, and
they are more or less injured. I was at Maestri the second
day after the catastrophe ; 126 dead bodies bad already been
interred. Several families were dal missing, but the
positions their houses had occupied could no looser be re-
cognised. Five dead bodies were taken out of the ruins
while I was there. It warn dreadful. The sight recalled to
my memory the sad scenes of the explosioli of 1856. Linda
bat suffered but little. We continually feel the shocks,
but they are steadily decreasing. We hope that tran•
quillity will soon be restored. By • providential mercy all
our (needs and acquaintances have been saved. Only
13 persona were killed in the town and in our
suburb. The vice-consul of Frame and family, wham house
is uninhabitable, took refuge with us, for our dwelling has
suffered but little. To complete our winery, three days after
the earthquake • deluge of rain came down,so that some pro-
visions which the peasantry hoped to save have been utterly
lost. It is very cold for the season, and the unfortunate
people have neither shelter nor food. They have lost all :
magic's, Mande, houses, clothes, settle, silkworms. Our
misery is deplorable : may God earns to our maistance !"
