TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE "A late ar
rival at New York, brings further partc-
u!ars respecting the earthquake in the De-
partment of Carriage, 10 Central America, !
mention Of which was made short time
since The earthquake occurred at half
past six in the morning of the I'd Of Sep
TENDER, and totally ruined the Department
Of Canag aud caused most terrific raw
ages in San Jose, leaving Comparatively
uninjured the other Departments of the
State. 1t was so sudden, that those per-
sons who escaped, had hardly time 10 get
out OF their houses before the falling oflhe
walls. In a second, the Department Of
Carriage became a total ruin. The de-
struction was so great, that the site Of any
particular edifce is hard y to be distin-
gu;shed among the ruins. In the city, the
houses, even TO the stonework, were thrown
upwards by the shock, and fell down again
in heaps of rubbish. The loss Of life is
very great auong all cIasses-alI ages
the number is not even to be estimated.
The Inhabitants in those villages in, the
Department which have suffered the least,
assembled, by order of the government,
with spades and picks, to disiater the bod
les. People perls@ ed in the streets, in the
pIazas, and in the churches. All the pro-
visions were buried beneath the ruins, and
the inha bitant5 were suffering a horrible
state of want. In Turidaba, Tres-rios,
Carriage, l'araiso, Ujames,s and even TO the
vicinity Of Matina, there is not LEFT single
shed and in every one of the valleys, and
on the haciendas, we fad proportionate
destruction. In San Jose, number of ed
ifces were thrown down, and those house,
that are standing, are uninhabltdbi Die. Bod
les are disnterred that cannot be recognlz-
Eed-shapeless masses and headIess trunks;
everv thing is horrible confusion. Up to
