ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—John Lee was placed at the
bar charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Humphries.
The prosecutor said he carried on business as a shell-fish
monger, at 26, Charing-cross, and dcubting the honesty of
the prisoner, he caused a person to enter the shop this
morning, for the purpose of purchasing four dozen oysters.
The prisoner received two shillings for the oysters and a
penny for the basket, but on Mr. HID ight first seeing the
man this morning he said he had sad but two dozen of
oysters, for which he had received one shilling and a penny.
William Adams said he was engaged to make the pur-
chase, and gave the prisoner two shillings for four dozen
oysters.

Prisoner—l never sold you more that two dozen.
Witness—Are you sure of that ?
Prisoner—Yes, certain.
Witness—Why, I have three dozen and a•half of them
at home, which I can produce.
The prosecutor said the dishonesty of the prisoner was
not confined to the present charge. If tine was allowed him
he would prove other thefts against hill.
Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner fa a week.

at the bar on remand charged with sealing a purse con-
taining I4s.

of her husband, been stopping at tleir house for a short
time, and was treated very kindly. morning or two ago
she had occasion to take out her purs, to pay for something,
and instead of putting it in her pocket, she must have laid
it on the table. In a short time, not finding it in her
pocket, she began to seach for it, ►ud not succeeding in
finding it suspicion fell on the prisoner, who had suddenly
left the house.

Mr. Alexander Douglas, in the foreign department of the
Post-office, and residing at 11, G-eat-turnstile, said that
while passing through the preview afternoon in the direc-
tion of the Marble-arch he obserrd the prisoner looking
suspiciously in a cab drawn up in front of a house. He
turned sharply round and saw the prisoner draw a parcel
from the cab and then ran away. lie pursued the prisoner
some distance, being determined nit to let him escape, and
while doing so the prisoner threw the parcel away. He
(Mr. Douglas) picked it up, and again started off with the
cry of " Stop thief," and the prisoner was ultimately taken
into custody.
The Hon. Mrs. Villiers not being in attendance, Mr
Brown, from Messrs. Harvey, Nicholl, and Co.'s, 2 and

which he believed to be the same, on the previous day, and

agent, in Oxford-street. _

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was remanded, Mr.
Tyrwhitt stating that the owner of the table-cover ought
to feel grateful for Mr. Douglas's exertions.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT MENDOZA.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND LIVES LOST.

We have now xeceived full information of the
total destruction, on March 20, by earthquake, of
one, if not three, populous cities of the Argentine
republic—namely, Mendoza, San Juan, and San
Luis. The former has certainly been destroyed,
and very few of its population of 15,000 souls have
escaped to tell the fearful tale. The news was sent
by telegraph to Valparaiso, and was confirmed by
the subsequent arrival of a mail courier from the
ruined city.

LATEST BETTING.
THE DERBY.

The latter stated that he arrived at Mendoza on
the morning of the 20th ; that at half-past eight
p.m. a brief but excessively violent shock of earth-
quake, lasting but six or eight seconds, destroyed
every building, public and private, in the city, and
that the number who were enabled to escape was
very limited. The streets being narrow, the build-
ings high, and the inhabitants totally unused to
such phenomena, were paralysed with terror, and
neglected to seek refuge in the open courts of their
dwellings until too late. The postmaster was
buried beneath the ruins of the post-office ; the
governor was missing ; and when asked why he
brought no certificate that the mails were lost, the
messenger replied, " There was no one left to write
it, nor materials to write with."
The aspect presented by the city after the first
shock was terrific. Hoarse subterranean thunders
ear, animals of all kinds rushed franti-
callyopen spaces howling, the earth
opened
ehdar theudgv ho mthi
te e d
forth floods of water, while to
crown the scenes of horror, flames burst from the
ruins and consumed nearly the entire business por-
tion of the city, with its dead, its dying, and its
wounded.
On the 28th a number of letters were received at
e residingthiant
Va!paraiso and at Santiago, by relatives and friends
of
thn entertained,
Chileans Mtehned oezaar,l

exaggerated, soon gave way to the dreadful cer-
tainty that the calamity had not yet been painted
in colours sufficiently vivid. The earth still con-1
tinned to tremble, the few walls that had resisted
the first shock one by one fell, until now no vestige
of a building remains. The mountain roads are in
a most dangerous condition, not only •
on account of
the huge masses of rock that have already
fallen
and obstructed the road, but because the vibration
of the earth is still hurling them down
from the
heights above into the valleys.
The gauches or natives of the surrounding country,
hastened to the spot, not to assist the needy or aid
in rescuing the wounded from a lingering death,
but to seek for plunder among the smoking ruins,
and to snatch thelittlesaved from the wretched sur-
vivors. One gentleman writing from thence, after
describing these horrors, says:—" I believe that in
a few days we shall have no other law here than
that of the poignard."
The prison was destroyed : out of 100 inmates 92
perished. The remaining eight, who were already
hardened villains, formed themselves into a band
of freebooters, and had gone, it was supposed, to the
mountain passes to intercept and rob the parties
sent from Chili for the relief of the sufferers. One
woman was found robbed and murdered by the
roadside. She was recognised as one who was on
her way to Mendoza to see her family. They, too,
had all perished on the 20th,
In the Jesuit church there was preaching that
night. The services had jut concluded, and the
congregation was about dispersing when the shock
came. The few who had reached the plaza were
saved, but the walls and roof of the building fell
inward with a crash, and priest and penitent
together were hurried into eternity.
The latest advices from Mendoza represent the
suffering to be extreme, there being neither food,
clothing, nor shelter for the survivors, everything
being buried beneath the ruins. They also state
that San Juan and San Luis, two other populous
cities of the confederation, lave shared a like:fate,
the San Juan river having after the shock left its
bed and swept over the town, utterly destroying
what the Earthquake had spared. This news is
not, however, fully confirmed.

. ~
As soon as the disastrous news was rendered
beyond question, the Government and private in-
dividuals vied with one another in energetic efforts
to send immediate relief to their suffering brethren.
Without waiting for the completion of the work,
on the 30th a party of physicians and others left
for the scene of the disaster, bearing medicines,
food, and clothing, and accompahied by a small
body of troops.
The gloom and terror spread throughout the re-
public of Chili by this awful calamity may be ima-
gined.
