EARTHQUAKE.

The earthquake which has recent
" desolaled a large portion of ST.
Domingo, Vas one VI the most severe
that has occurred in any part Of the
world for many years; and perhaps
more extensive IN the sphere of lis
operation than any since the earth
quake which destroyed Lisbon, IN II,

and very nearly the same hour, the
effects of the recent earthquake were
felt at varions places, ranging from
Port au Prince 10 the base Of the
Rocky Mountains. The greatest ex-
plosinn from the force of internal
pent up ores was felt at Cape Hay
ten, St. Domingo. on the 7ih uit.:
here they had three successive and
violent shocks, and previous to first,
Of them u shock Of the earthquake
was fell nj Porto REQ, on the morn

and ultimately tore the ground u

It stretches clear cross the breadth
of st. Domingo and was felt al Port

the same time; then to 81. Martins

kansas, and clear up - the foot Of
the Rocky Mountains, where 1t was
also felt on the same day. II thus
