the curious inventions in the Paris
Exhibition is a process for printing
without ink. According to the Lon

was invented by a Frenchman named
M. Gustave Leboyer, and the speci-

different kinds of types and two col.
ors-red and black-composed and
one hundred copies printed all in
three minutes. The printing was
done in thirty-two seconds M.

intended for cards and bills, letter

that arrangements have been made

@GGGeS

THE present accounts are, IN no way, much mo
difed, from the Editorial in our last. The state of
things remain the same, as we predicted but, on the
whole, they are truly depIorable, lamentable, and III
such a manner, as to bring about truly Christian
charity.
We-people of the Earth-camot expect to re
main here forever. The %calamities, that are happen
ing daily, III almost every part of the world; whether
of war, pestilence, famine or disaster, make things no
better. There are inhuman and heartIess creatures,
not even here but in other parts of the world, who
rule with an iron hand, and WELD their d~espotism
with a vengeance; forgetting, Of course, that there IS
a Supreme Ruler, whose power excels them.
Accounts up to this morning, while we are writing,
the 4th of November 1867, state, that PortOrIcO, st
Johns. and Crab-Island, have all suffered to a very
extensive degree. AS yet no official accounts.

YOU these few lines; giving you a brief detail OF the sad
calamity that has befallen us.
Yesterday the Doth inst. every one Gas usual got up at
the customary hour, to attend to their daily business, The
morning with exception of a little rain was very beautiful
and with all appearance of being a fine day. But how
were we all deceived When at about l24 o'clock p. m
a sudden change Of weather took place the wind blowing
from the n. w. point of the compass, accompanied by
heavy torrents of rain, which brought upon US a most
frightful storm !! :.
The Venezuelan Schooner Joven Panchita' just ar
rived a few days previous from Barcelona" was the hrst
vessel that capsized in the harbour; while the rest kept
dragging their anchors.
Between two and three o'clock the storm increased
with great violence the wind shifting quite suddenly from
N. w, to N. E. causing a tornado in the harbour, which
sunk, DESTROYED, and grounded nearly every vessel IN port

The barracks has been blown to pieces No more th
house. No more wharves, and few dwellings left that are
habitabIe. The Tidende Office does NOT exist the root
having fallen in, and supposed to have demolished every
thing within. In a word, our town is but a mass OF runs!

conduct of Commander Don Garcia Tudela, of the Spanish
