shock of AN earthquake has extended to
that place, which lasted between five and
six minutes, attended with rumbing noise
resembling thunder. The people were
thrown into the greatest CONSERVATION,
running in every direction to AVOID destruc-

chiefly confined to the Great Square. 1t is

The magnificent theatre of ST. Charles,
at .NahicS, has been reduced to ashes.
There was in the theatre, a lcadcn cistern,
i'll which the oil for the use of the house
was kept the wind blew spark from
lamp to the interior of the cistern, which
in at instant, was converted into dread
flu volume of fame. exhibiting a striking
resemblance to an eruption of YeSuDiu8.

efiiCacious means b, Ell employed to extn-
tingush and arrest the progress of the
flames. The Austrian troops commanded
by Count Eugent, who set the example,
were of essential service, and strenuoasIy
seconded the exertions of the Neapolitan
troops and the inhabitants. The KING &
PRINCE LEOPOLD, displayed the greatest

happened, was saved, apparently by a
miracle, from total destruction. The
Games consumed every thing, and ashes

largest and most beautiful theatre in HA-
rohe. The persons who we're in the bull

was, perhaps, not the greatest, had

Ii is not Improbable, that as soon as the
practicsbility OF obtaining these relics, be-
