THE DESTRUCTION OF CAPE HAYTIEN.

By the brig Dirigo, arrived at Boston the 9th
inst. from Cape Haytien, whence she sailed on the
Oath ult the first direct information of the tremen-
dous Earthquake the 7th ult is received The de-
struction Of human life is fully large as the ac-
counts via Port au Prince led those acquainted with
the Island to suppose, and about double the amount
reported via Jeremie. The Boston Advertiser says
Capt Tucker was board his vessel at the time of
the Earthquake, and was an eye witness of the APP
palling scene. 1t took place at S, P. NJ, and the
entire demolition of almost every building in the city
was the work of about two minutes only A portion
of two or three buildings alone remained standing of
that city, which was the finest in the Island being
built principally Of massive stone. The tide flowed
into the principle Streets and receded again in few
minutes. Soon after the Earthquake, the combusti-
BILE parts of most of the buildings took fire separately
from the cooking apparus, &c. and were consumed.
Capt. Tucker states that the entire population
of the place was estimated at from ten to twelve
thousand and from the best information he could OBJ
tain from many of the survivors, not than two
thousand escaped with their lives ALL or nearly all
the officers of the Government being killed. there
no authority to control the surviving population
and they continually fighting and shooting each
other for plumber The cargo of the Dirigo was dug
out of the ruins of the Earthquake There was only
shipmasterlost the captain of Norwegian vessel
Contrary to anticipation it appears that many of the
principal merchants survived the calamity among the
rest Mr.. Carvalho, eminent merchant who visited
Boston year or two since, and was much esteemed
by his acquaintance.

THE NAVY

The Marion, we learn, left the Navy Yard yester-
day for Norfolk. This vessel was seriously injured
at Rio Janeirio-so much SO, that it was with much
difficulty that she put into suitable condition to
return home 1t is said that she only be properly
repaired at yard having dry dock. 1t is on that
account that the Honorable Secretary ordered her to
Norfolk. This fact, however, shows the propriety of
our having dry dock marine railway at the
Philadelphia Yard, that hereafter vessel arriving
here may be forthwith repaired.
There seems to be pretty general opinion pre-
vailing that the Senate will give the appropriation
asked for by the Hon. Sec of the Navy at the open
ing Of the present session of Congress In that event.
it is quite probable the House of Representatives
will concur in the Senatorial amendment The MEM
beers of Congress will then find, that public opinion
will loudly approve of their liberal support If the
