ofpowdef On board is estimated at 90, 600
ID. weight which was fatally aud unac.
couutably con6dGi to the care of two
young men brothers, and servant man.
Two professors Of the University are
stated to have been killed, and several o.

1t being fortunately vacation, great num-
bers Of the. students were absent, and
those who were present are said to have
escaped. \
The King, with that peculiar goodness
which eharaeterizes him, repaired a Sc
eond time to Leyden, on Friday last /;
visited the wounded and MANNED, MKT
with the labourers, and encouraged them
to persevere intheir unwearied diligence.
On receiving the thanks Of the magis-
trates and clergy, he returned them d
most amicabie answer, asked after indi..
vidual losses, and left them in these
words: "The dead I cannot restore to
you ; that ia above human power. bot
all that I canwill I do for your city," His
Majesty made an offer of the. Palace in
the Wood to such respectable persons as
had been deprived Of their habitations, or
which were rendered uninhabitable; An
offer which has likewise been accepted
with gratitude. :
His majesty has empowered the ma.
gistrates oftl,is unfortunate city, to make
a general collection throughout the whole
kingdom; and ordered 100000 gil
ders out Of the treasury, to be left to the
disposition of the minister of the Home
department, for relieving the most press.
ing necessities of the poor, and those who
have lost their all. Several persons have
been taken out alive from under the
ruins but some expired almost imme-
diately afterwards. Great numbers still
lie buried, ths publish forming such vast
heaps that a considerable time will be re.
quired to clear them.
Alter the explosion, which was aw-
full in The extreme, several fires broke
out by the scattering of the lighted turf
and coatin the .hsarths; and this ealami-
ty unfortunately drew of, for a while,
the. attention OF the citizens from their

of children near the spot are discovered
from time to time.-Fifty children at
