EARTHoUAKE IN BOGOTA.

On Saturday, the 18th Of July, two Sc
we're shocks ofan earthquake which happen
ed at an intervalof about Is or 20 seconds
from each other, were felt at about quar-
ter before L: p. NJ. in this city. The lal-
ter was much more severe and OF longer
duration than the former it threw down
the small chapel on the summit OF the
mountain Gaudaloupe, and caused some
damage to the houses and converts the
churches, including the cathedral DuIlt a
few years since, received good deal OF
injury. and had another shock occurred.
several would most probably have fallen.
The inhabitants in CONSERVATION fed from
their houses, and great number passed
the rest of the night in the squares and
gardens: we have only heard of two or
three persons who have met with accidents,
and these were sustained in their hurry to
escape. 1t appears that the earthquake
has caused some injury in the neighboring
villages.
Yesterday, after the preceding remarks
had been written another severe shock was
felt about ten minutes to five in the morn
ing. The damage done by 1t we UNDER
stand to be considerable. The cathedral
has sustained much additional injury; but
we are not aware at present that any part
has fallen part of the convent of San Juan
de Dios is in ruins and several other chur-
ches and converts have suffered materially.
The houses ofprivate individuals have of
course shared in the general destruction
We do not know whether any lives have
been lost. The troops were put under
arms Immediately to preserve order; and
His Excellency the Vice President, the
Commandant General, and others were
observed anxiously employed in taking
measures to avert as much as possible any
further disastrous consequence from this
melancholy event. --C Constitutional de

More Murder.-On Tuesday night last.
VIM. Dean, late Of the Penitentiary, was
killed in an affray of the "knock down ind
drag out" character. The person who
struck the fatal blow is not known, as it was
dark, and probably more than one enga-
gcd. We hope the murderer may be
brought to justice, mot for any affection we
have for Mr.. Dean, but to prevent such
iend-like monsters from ranging the earth
in quest of human blood. For this and
many other murders committed yearly, we

SANDWICH ISLANDS.--HAWAII.
Extract Of letter from Mr.. Goodrich
10 the CORRESPONDING Secretary.

! TO the Corresponding secretary.
BYRON's Bay, Nov. ll,1825.
NV Dear Sir,-Since the visit of Lord
Byron to this place, the harbor, having
been accurately surveyed under his direc-
ton, has received his name and is called
ByOn's BGyLa name, which is, believe,
universally approved by the members Of
the mission.
The kindness Of Lord Byron to the diff
ferent members of this mission, you have
doubtless learnt, from others. When
was at Oahu, last Spring, he very kindly
offered me passage in the frigate to this
place. After lying here month, reftting
his ship, the same kind invitation was Civ
en- to Mr.. Ruggles and family to go with
him to Oahu, and was accepted.
~ The state of things at this station is very
Interesting. The house of public worship
will not contain half that assemble to hear
the word of life. The chiefs have lately
begun to build new Westinghouse Of
much larger dimentions. Schools are rap
idly increasing in all the eastern half of
this island and all that is wanting, is
books and teachers. / am unable to sup
ply one twentieth part of the calls for
commenced byus about ten months since,
and have gone out to teach others and
many others are Immediately wanted

ferent islands to educate for teachers, WI no,
Ending their own food, are no expense to
the mission. Most of them will soon be
qualified to commence the business of in
struction. A wide field of usefulness is o.
pen here on either hand. A population
of nearly forty thousand souls have open
ears to hear the Gospel. And must they
be left to perish, with their hands uplifted
to heaven, crying for some one to come
and show the way to eternal joy aud peace?
Must they be left to perish, because Amer
lean Christians have exhausted their char
tiles : Cannot the churches of my dear ma
tive land afford to send one, to take part
with me in this ministry of reconciliation
We do earnestly long to have some one
associated with Us, with whom we NAV
take sweet counsel, and aid in proclaiming
the good news Of salvation by Jesus Christ.
We find it quite trying to be left alone,
70 far from all our brethren: and yet we
cannot think of leaving our schools, and
the crowded houses of worship on the Sab
bath. | hope that the time is not far dis |
tant, when the good people of America
will feel able to support another laborer in
this whitened field. Honorii find to be
a valuable assistant: he continues to do well.
