/ b.. the barquc Trinidad we have intelligence
! from ST. Thomas TO the 2oth OF June. There
was not much business doing and every thing
looked dull and cherries. The prospects OF d
better business next season were good. There
had been shock of an earthquake on the lth
,ll,imo. which created some alarm, but did no
harm. No cases Of the yellow fever have &C.
Cured to cause any alarm. \ SLAYER had been
caught off St. Thomas with over 80 negroes
confined on board. She was caught on tie last
crn shore bound to Bahia; she had not yet been
brought into port and Tic particulars could not
belearned.
A severe gale occurred on the morning after
the earthquake which destroyed great many
buildings on the sca-shore, principally those be-
longing to fishermen. Some were entirely blown
away. Other buildings further up IN the country
had their roofs blown off; there were no lives lost
however, and the amount OF damage Is not cstl-
mated to be very great

OF North Brazil The steamer noticed the wreck
of what appeared to be a British ship ashore on
tho coast Boats could be seen taking her cargo
to the shore | could not learn what part of tie
coast this was, on account of the short time the
steamer remained with us. At Trinidad busl
ness was very dull indeed, so much so, that
some persons had closed up their business until
the ensuing season.
