than the former; it threw down the small chanel
on the summit OF the mountain of Guadaloupe, and
caused some damage TO the houses and converts
the churches, including the cathedral, built but
few years since, received good deal of injury, and
had another shock occurred, several would most
probably have fallen. The inhabitants in conster-
nation fled from their houses, and a great number
passed the rest oil the night in the square and gar
dens: we have only heard of two OF three persons
who have met with accidents, and these were sus-
tanned ~ their hurry 10 escape. 1t appears that
the earthquake has caused some injury in the neigh
boring sillages-the churches of which being lone
buildings, and of slight materials, are not calcula-
ted to resist convulsion of this nature
The heavy rains which have succeeded the very
dry weather we lad so long, may perhaps account

ravages they occasioned, when confined will
not again be repeated.
Yesterday, after the preceding remarks had been
written, another shock was felt about ten minutes
to five IN the morning. The damage done by it
we understand to be considerable. The cathedral
has sustained much additional injury; we are moi
aware at present that any part has fallen-par of
the convent OF San Juan de Dios is in ruins, and
several other churches and converts have suffer ed
materially. The houses of private individuals have

during the last Winter, that the portion OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, between Cumberland
and tide water, being in length one hundred and
eishy-four miles, with lockage of 57S feet, and
having breadth of so and depth of feet, would
cost upwards of 5000, 900 of dollars. In this
timate it is understood that portions of the labor
and materials were computed at the following
prires.
