A u e1Hul Erh3 uake.-A letter from
India gives an account Of a dreadful earth
quake with which the city of Ava was visit
ed on the 23d Of March last. After some
preliminary particulars, tn, account pro-
ceeds:
The earth was rent in several places into
wide chasms and assures from 10 to 20 feet
wide. from which deluges of water had been
Gushsd, and a large quantity of gray earth
was thrown up, covering the place around
several feet deep and emitting a sulphurous
smell. The rapid current of the Irrawaddl
was even reversed at the time OF the shock.
and assembled up its bed for a while. the
old cities of Ava and Tsagain, with their nu-
merous pagodas and other edifces, have also
been reduced to heaps Of ruins, and their
walls shattered and thro Hn down. The
towns and villages above and below the cap.
Ital, have likewise suffered, and it is reported
mat some have even been swallowed up and
Others destroyed by inundation.
The lumber Of persons that persisted here.
yin the surrounding towns g. villages, amount
to between 2nO and 800; which number
may, of course, be expected TO swell as re-
Portsarrlve from more distant places. Amongst
those who died are Mr. Harapeat, the wealthy
American mer chant. and three childred OF
MIR. Avanese. These were the survivors
OF a family Of six children; he has now been
deprived Of them too. We have indeed. to
be grateful to Providence, that though We
have been in the midst Of SO many dangers
and whom so many have persisted, none OF
us have suferded either in arson or proper.
ty.. We owed our escape to the houses being
built OF the same materirs as the generality
OF buildings here. hut we had nigh been swai-
lowed un ~ SD ne of the openings and gaps
m the earth. for some of these were not ma
ny yards from our residence. An occur.
renee like this is not in the recollection of the
Oldest inhabitants in this country, nor is there
any mention o foDe in their historical records

With regard TO the actions OF the Rotchch-

QUACKS AND THEIR DESTRUC-
TIVE NOSTRuMS.

THE united testimony of Physicians, Throughout,
L the United States, has fully proved the fact that
Peters's Vegetable Pills are the only true Vegeiabs
Pills, which will stand the test Of Anali sation-
hence the proprietor would most earnestly urge them
to the notice OF those who have been in the habit Of
using as Cathartics or Aperients, the destructive and
irratating Quack Pills, SO generally advertised, and
which are at best but slow customers of the vital
functions and murderots agents, even TO the moss
hale. Ii is true, most Of them produce a purg alive
effect, and sometimes transient relief, but in most
CAGES they injure the digestive organs, and an habit.
ual resort TO them must terminate in confirmed dys.
pepsia.
1t is true, that Cathartic and Aperient Medicines
are often required, but the incest discrimination
should always be observed in the selection, and
ifthis be done nothing injurious can result from their
use.
To produce this much desired result, DR. Peters
has made it his study for several years, and feel.
proud TO say he has at length succeeded, far beyond
his expectations. The object Of his Pills are TO su-
persede the necessity Of a frequent recourse TO inju.
rious purga,ives, and to offer a medicine safe, certain,
and pleasant in its operation.
