The EARTHQuAKE Shock AT SAN FRAN
cIsco.--A correspondent Of the New York Sum-
writing at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the
18th, says:
About half-past o'clock this morning, our
city was startled by the shock Of an earthquake,
Men issued from the shaking houses into the
streets in CONSERVATION.
Hundreds were without meat and money, al
most without clothes. The boarders at Jones'
hotel and the Oriental were at breakfast, and SO
violent was the shock, that they rushed from
the table into the street, overturning everything
in their way.
The wharves trembled like aspen leaves, and
the frame buildings adjoining vibrated some
eight or ten inches. The brick buildings were
so violently shaken az to induce the belief thai
they would fall TO the ground.
The shock lasted but one instant, but was
long enough to cause the most exciting alarm
The effect seemed to be from sodsiIenst To
northwest, and was sensibly felt for distance
of two or three miles.

FROM CoNsTANTIoPLE-IIUNGA RIANs.-Kos-
fsUTH.-Tne Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer Sultan, Captain Joy, had arrived al
Southampton. She broughtletters from Constan
tinople, Smyrna, Malta, and Gibralter. Among
her passengers were the Hungarian Lieutenant
General Loizar Messaros, 40 other Hungarian
officers, and 40 Hungarian soldiers. M. Fran
Goes Izsollosy, Kossuth's secretary, was pas.
senger on board the Sultan from Constantinople
to Malta, but he was left at the latter place ir
consequence of i'll health: Messaros took leave
of Kossuth, at Kutayah, on the 9th of May last
The great Magyar was thenin bodily health, but
much broken in spirit owing to his long captiv.
ity. He has been promised his liberty in Sep
TENDER next by the Turkish government; but
faith has so repeatedly been broken with him
through the Vaccinations of Austria and Russia
that there is no certainty when he will be
suffered to 20 at large.
Kossuth's wife and child were with him, and
about % Hungarians, who are still prisoners in
Kutayah.-There are now remaining prisoners
in the Turkish dominions, about forty Hun.
garians. Messaros is tall, handsom man, bald
headed with an immense beard.--As soon as he
landed from the Sultan, he waited on the Mayor
of Southampton to ask If any assistance could
be rendered in this country to his compatriots,
some Of whom were destitute. He stated to
the Mayor that they had been treated with the
utmost kindness by the captain, officers and
crew of the Sultan. II was rffecting to see this
man standing before the Mayor, with his head
uncovered, and with a voice trembling with
emotion, beseeching hospitality. He spoke
English pretty WELL He had learnt it, he said,
in his youth for the purpose Of studying English
literature, and never thought that he should
want ii for the purpose for which be was then
employing Il.
The Mayor offered to place him and the
principal Hungarian officers at one of the chief
hotels at his own expense, and 10 see that assis-
lance was rendered to the rest of his companions.
Messaros, however, respectfully declined the
former offer, and said he would prefer re-
mainicg with the Hungarians. He had suf-
ficient to provide for himself; all he begged was
some temporary assistance for those of his CON-
panions who were destitute. After his inter-
view with the Mayor, he hurried down to the
docks TO acquaint the Huugarians that he had
been successful The Mayor sent Immediately
telegraphic message TO Lord Dudley Stuart
TO announce the arrival of the refugees, and
instructed the town clerk to write to Sir
George Grey to inquire IL the government could
render any assistance TO the Hungarians and
facilitate their transit 10 America, where they
were disposed 10 60. The superintendent OF
police was instructed also by his worship to allow
each refuge assistance, to enable him to get
temporary bed and board in town.
