ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE.
Our readers doubtless remember the details we
published few days since, OF frightful destruc-
tive earthquake which was experienced al Mexico
on the 9Th April. We have now TO add repetition
of this awful disaster in the Capitol on the 10Th
April
II 4. r. \
ble us TO discover many details of the amount OF
ruin and desoation occasioned by this convusion.
but from the fact that the journals unite in de-
scribing its effects terrific, We presume the de-
struction must have been great The Diario of the
llih states that the earthquake occurred about 10
o'clock A. M, and lasted forty seconds: that II |
Dverthrew MANY new buildings. and many others |
hat had escaped the former visitation; that most |
IF the inhabitants stricken with terror, left their
houses and took refuge in The open fields and pub
c squares passing the night without shelter and IN
The utmost CONSERVATION.
The verahcruzano" of the Nth April, states that
private letters furnish gloomy picture of the desc
aton that has fallen upon Mexico. The Hesre- |
ria" of the 18th states that the earthquake OF the
10Th completed the destruction oi the cupola OF
Santa Teresa, and increased the damage done 10
the churches of Santa Domingo and San Francisco.
But for the shortness of lis duration. the entire city
would have been laid in ruins. Mexico did not
suffer alone The shock was felt in number OF
towns and villages within The radius ot several
hundred miles.
p AT Puebla, the earthquake was experienced on
the 7th about o'clock. P. NJ, but lis effects were
slight. Several Churches were IN
jured, and many private e9iices Were greatly da
mayed though none were absolstely Destroyed -
AT Acnanhio and Toluco the effects of The shock
Were more considerable. Al Guadalojaro, Mor-lia
aud Vera Cruz, the earthquake was experienced
both on The 1th and 10Th, but on neither Occasl on
was the business very serious n Q. Bee.
