and papers from the West Indies, giving the par
ticulars of dreadful earthquake there, from
which we extract the following:
81. Johns, Porto Rico, Feb. l5.-'The
effects of the earthquake of the 9th inst.
have been awful indeed. The town Of
Point Pe,re. Guadaloupe, is entirely de-
stroyed, and ten thousand persons are
supposed TO hare been kiied. The loss
Of property is immense. At Antigua
there has also been great loss of proper
ty, though but few lives were destroyed.
All the mills and sugar works are more or
less injured, and the greater part of the
crop will be lost. Nevis, Monseral
Barbadoes, &c. are all said to have suffer
ed much, TO what extent is not known
here yet.
Another letter says: In 81. Thomas it
was very severe, and seems to have lasted
over two minutes. All persons fed from
their houses, but, most fortunately, no one
was hurt, and no material damage was
done there. A vessel arrived at St. Tho
mas from Antigua, reports that all the
houses were thrown down in that Island,
and the windmills were either down or so
much injured that they cannot be worked.
In Nevis, also, every thing Except the
Bath House is down, and the steamer
passing Martinique, Guadalupe, and
Montserat, saw those islands covered with
dense cloud of dust.
81. Marten, FEB. S.-About 10 o'clock
p. NJ. to-day, this island experienced an
alarming earthquake. II lasted from to
minutes during which period, and, in
deed, some time after, this town, Philips
burg, Netherlands, and Division exhibit
ed distressing scene. The heads of ia
miles out on business, were seen hasten-
ing home, scarcely able to keep their ba-
lance, owing to the agtaied movements Of
the earth some Of them, finding their
wives, children, relatives, and servants in
the yards, others in the streets those that
remained in their houses, in many cases
clasped together, imploring the Omnipo-
tent hand, ruling all events, for pardon
and mercy, expecting every moment to be
the last. The noise and jar of furniture
moving about, the breaking of glass, &C.,
&C., added to the creakng of the houses,
and the awful roar Of an earthquake, filled
the boldest heart with fear and consterna-
ton. Many wall houses are much injur-
ed Most Of the old walls lay at this time
in heaps in different sections of the town.

Tricks upon Travellers.

The undersigned would caution their friends and
the public against the lmpostlOns practised by the
proprietors of the Good Intent Line OF Stages be-
tween Wheeling and Cumberland. From lnforma
ton derived from gentleman on board the steam
boat on our way up from New Orleans, we were in
duced TO think the route via Petersburgh the most
desirable. On arriving at Cincinnati, however, we
changed our minds. seeing in the Cincinnati papers
OF the day an advertisement OF the Wheeling route,
depicting In glowing coors It's advantages, agreeing
TO take passe Rgers through TO Baltimore for Sl0 and
to Philadelphia for $l3. On arriving at Wheeling
we were told by the agent that their arrangement
with the Railroads had been discontinued several
days; but that they had not discontinued their adj.
vertlsements as they expected some time or o,herto
renew their arrangements with the Rollroad Com
panies, to receipt through, &c. The sequel of the
whole matter is, that were regularly caught, and
had to submit with the best grace we could to an
extorton Of 81 additional to Philadelphia, two of
which went to the stages and two the Railroads.
Besides, we were disappointed in the rate of speed,
being led to suppose from their advertisements that
they would take us overthe road in hours
travelling time instead of which we were forty
hours in reaching Cumberland, having stopped four
hours in thunder storm, making thirty, sixhours
travelling time, and being out two nights The
teams, with few exceptions, were unfit for service,
and in one instance we were furnished team
which had been the road twice before the same
day, as we were informed We were consequently
compelled to wade in the mud three several times
in one night-not only pushing the stage bur horses
also, which were completely exhausted. This is
called the Good Intent Line but judging from ap.
pearances, we think the interests of the two lines
are identical in some respects, and as TO their good
Intentions we are unanimously sceptlcal on that
point. lSigned)
