q 6rThe great Earthquake at Cumana'
Venezuela, on the 18th ult., destroyed three
churches, the castle of San Antonio, (the
last prison of Gen. Paez,) the theatre, the
charity hospital, that of the Lazarines, the
college, the government house, &c. Al
most all the private houses were also de-
stroyed; and those which were not entirely
ruined have been greatly injured and left
uninhabitable. Tho loss in property alone
amounts to millions Of dollars, besides the
immense loss of life. 1t is stated that deep
openings were formed in the earth and diff
ferent places, and from them rose boiling
water. The sea retired at the beginning
several yards from the coast, and then rose
above its level and surrounded the city ;the
river Manzanares, which flows through the
middle Of the town, also rose several feet
while the bridge fell which connects the
Inhabitants on both sides. Hundreds oil
survivors were left houseless anl pennileSs.

ARREST OF EMIcRAHr RuNNERs.--On
Wednesday, nine emigrant runners were ar
rested in New York, for boarding emigrant
vessels prior to their touching the wharf,
for the purpose of soliciting the strangers to
purchase tickets for the West. This pro-
ceeding is now made a penal offence, and
the probability is, therefore, that instead of
transporting" the emigrantS, the runners
will be transported themselves to-the peni-

How TO BE AGREEABLE.-A good story Is
told Of Lorenzo Dow, or a FORMULATING
preacher of his "school," to the effect that
riding once in a stage-coach TO an appoint
ment, he fell in company with some wild
young blades, who were led, by his eccen-
trio appearance an manner, to imagine that
he was a proper subject for their jokes and
.raillery. He at once humored their design
by affecting Stiffness, and making the most
absurd aud senseless remarks. Upon arriv-
ing at the place where he was to stop, they
ascertained who their butt was, and began
to apologize for their rudeness, saying that
his W conversation misled them.
