TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE.
On the 18Th inst. about the middi. of the
DAY, there was tremendous explosion at the
Powder Factory of Mrssrs. Latin and Loo
ms, ID Lee. In some incOnceivable manner,
aspark of fire was produced in the glazing
house, which instantly exploded aud IN
| about half a minute there WAS an explosion
| OF the hot house, which was situated some
rods from the other. In the glazing house
there was about $500 lii of Pow der, and in The
| hot-house about 5000 III. The effects of the
explosion would have been still more dread
iui, had II not been for the re moval of 3 tons
OF Powder from the hoI-housp a few DAYS
SINCE. Both buildings were blown 10 atoms.
and the fragments fell in all directions, some
| being carried 10 the distance of from quarter
to half a mile. Most of the timbers we're
shirered to pieces, but one stick, of The weight
OF three or four hundred, was carried near
fifty rods. About thirty buildings in the vi
entity were more or less injured; great por-
tIon OF the windows broken, boards torn of,
and ~ some instances the roofs raised IL is
curious fact, that 10 some cases, windows
and boards were broken in by the pressure on
the outside ; and in other cases they were
broken out by the superior pressure Of the
ar on the inside, after the force on the out
side was exhausted.
But tns fragments, scattered over this
scene OF desolailoD, might be viewed with
comparative insensibility, were they not min
ged with the blood and broken bodies of our
fellow creatures. Four mes. Tsrgce, Sparks.
Beach and Hnckey, were in ar near the glaz
ing house at The time Of the explosion. Tar
gee was found dead on the margin Of the RI
yer, MS body much bruised and burnt, and
partially covered with the fragments of the
buildings. Sparks was blown some distance
" 'e ""' avs oouy oreadfutly mangled, and
MS bowels torn out. Beach was thrown
about 40 rods into the mill pond, and was not
iound Tor some hours after the catastrophe.
fiInckIey was blown some distance into the
river, and is since dead.
4DaIs orMe Greeks.
LONDON, Aug. I8.-The news from the
East IS unfavorable for the Greeks. Ipsara
has surrendered almost without struggle
some OF the Greek letters attribute the event
10 freachery, and others 10 cowardice. They
also announce, tba, the relations Of amity be-
tween Russia and Turkey gained strength
daily, and embOldened the Turks in their hos
tllltIes against the Greeks.
The island Of Case has also been desolated
by the Egyptian fleet Of IL sail, under ismaei
Gtbrott1r; who, after several 6eints, landed
on the island, and made dreadful havoc. Near
y 500 Of the Islanders persisted, and the rest
led to the neignboring islands. The cooper
alton Of the Egyptian with the Ottoman fleet
IS no longer questioned.
A German paper says, the Turks captured
100 sail Of vessels at Ipsars, aud that the feet
had conveyed them to Mytilene.
An article, said to be deni-ofhcial, dated
COHstdntipopie, July 10, says, the Turkish
fleet consisted of two sail Of the line, six fri
gates, and 10 corvettes, with many transports,
