Journal, the following letter addressed by
His Excellency, our Vice. Governor, TO the

Judgement of the Provisions, &C., sent in

PRESIDENTsKABET, FOR
OERNE ST. THOMAS oG ST. JAN.
st. Thomas, Government House.
December 3, 1867.
Sir,-I have the honor to acknowledge
receipt of your communication to the
Goth ulto., and the provisions, &C., men,
toned in tue same which the sympathis-
ing inhabitants of Kingston have sent in
aid of st. Thomas.
/ beg to tender you mine and this COM
munity's warmest thanks for your exer-
tions in our behalf, who have been so
soreIy tried by two great calamities in
the short time of three weeks, and we
beg also to thank those who, with you
promptly and generously have come to
the assistance of our poor.
The shocks have not yet ceased every
day since the 18th ult. we have had Sc
veral, although by far not SO severe as
on the said day.
For the kindness his Excellency the
Governor of Jamaica has shown in doing
everything to facilitate the shipping of
the provisions, / ask you to be kind
enough to express my gratitude.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
ROTHE.

HAVANA, Dec. 2, 1867.-The Austrian
steam frigate Novara will sail from here
for Trieste on Wednesday, December 4.
Your correspondent has viewed the re-
mains of Macmillan. The eyes, hair

cused of having thus mutilated the re-
mains is the embalmer, and he has been

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 2, 1867
Three shocks Of earthquake were felt
here at midnight, November 80. Con-
siderable alarm was caused throughout
the entire population.
HAVANA, Dec. 2, 1867.-A severe shock
of earthquake was felt at ST. Domingo
city. It demolished many houses and
drove many vessels ashore. The popula-
ton was vainly striving TO emigrate, such
was the alarm.
HAVANA, Dec. 9, 1867.-The British
Consul here has received orders to for
ward aid in the shape of provisions to the
sufferers by the hurricane at Tortola
Island.
HAVANA, Dec. 9, 1s67.-The Spanish
steam frigate Francisco de Asis will sail
again on the 4th inst. for Porto Rico, with
provisions for the sufferers by the late
hurricane. 3
On the 18th of November a violent
shock of earthquake was felt at Mayaguez.
KINGSTON, Jam Nov. 90, Via HAVANA,
Dec.2, 1S67.-Advices received here state
, 1867-12-20

that the island of st. Thomas has been
visited by a terrible shock of earthquake.
The sea rose fifty feet, and a volcano
vomited forth lava.
Little Saba was submerged for q short
time, after being visited by earthquake
and volcanic eruptions simultaneously.
The English, Danish and Dutch con-
suls on the island saved nothing.

Treasury No! we are ashamed to acknow-
ledge that the public shool in this town is,
in many respects, far from realising the
wishes of many persons; and, therefore
cannot boast of sending out such scholars,
as some Of the children educated, at the
public expense in Denmark, and many of
whom become great men in the WestIndies.

US OF the eHecIS Oh the eruption upon That
part of the coast.
'About 5 p. m. the sea, with scarce a
surf or unusual ripple, began to flow and
ebb with astounding rapidity, and at each
successive vibration to increase in pow
err, finally reaching in its rise TO about 90
feet, and in incursions and recess to about
$50 feet, carrying in its retreat, boats and
building material, walls and paiings,
rocks and stones, trees, stumps, and tufts,
and assailing human dwellings, and their
inmates. One building was nearly swept
away on the coast, and several children
here were provideEtially rescued, one in a
drowning state. At this stage, people
desparing of their safety were about leav-
ing the town.
On the coast, near Dugaldstone estate,
where its grand focus appeared to have
been fixed, the sea rose SO high that the
public bridge was covered, and some cane
fields inundated, where Afterwards a large
quantity of fish of no mean size were
picked up; and apropos, in its retry, car
ried no small amount of clothes from sew
eral laundresses thereabout. / sincerely
trust our enterprizlng friend Mr.. F. Proud
homme will suffer no great loss on his
property from this unaccountable affair.
The damage done in ST. Georges can
be summed up as follows:- In. the
Treasury, some books and paper wet,
The floors we'll secured Mr.. Simmons
store, slight damage; Mes>rs. Alexander
Hubbard & Co., suffered largely and 90
casks Of fish, a lot Of rice, barrels of pilot
bread, boxes candles, &c, were quite
damaged and a Grlfiths' patent safe was
penetrated by the sea, two of its secret
rawer filled with water, and some valu-
able deeds and other documents therein
deposited, all but ruined Messrs. Lucius
Dill d Cos. store was luckily clear of
any perishable articles, but their stables
on the margin of the wharf were filled
with water more Than once, and it was at
some risk that their horses were removed.
In Mr.. w. Steers lumber-yard, a gate
door was snapped from its hinges and
In Mr.. Simmons undergrad, every gate
door 1--WE believe three in number) was
broken down, and the sea made q clear
breach through the lumber. Mr.. G. Row
ley's houses, we are sorry TO say, were
much worse treated. The one adioin-
ing the last named yard was bursted open,
the wave knocking the kitchen down,
and running with impetuous:force through
his blacksmith shop into the street. His
next house, occupied in the upper story
by Miss Lapier, and in the lower story by
two other persons, was perfectly Quilted,
the floors ripped up. and the occupants
at the risk of their lives only enabled to
save a few things. Proceeding upwards,
the effects of the eruption were still visi-
Bile: the next door of the lumber-yard of
Messrs. Alexander Hubbard & Co. was
smashed in and the wharf frontage Of
the buildings belonging to the Estate of
the late Mr.. Davis, particularly in a room
occupied by q woman called Mary Bishop,
the sea had rushed in so suddenly and
with such strength that everything was
carried away with it, and partitions, doors,
windows, and almost all she owned lost,
and the poor creature herself nearly
drowned. The stock-yard. of Messrs. Al

GRENADA.


On Monday the weather was remarka-
bly, close, and the thermometer in the
shade stood at Sc deg, the sea being as
smooth as glass, up to S 20 p. M, and al
most Immediately after the closing of
places of business in the careenage,-
when, to the establishment of every person
IN the vicinity, and of others who from
an elevation commanded q view of our
snug port, an unprecedented fall took
place in the tide (Which had but shortly
before attained high water mark) of fully
four to five feet-thc reef in front of the
Lagoon showing it's full extent, and the
surrounding shores standing out in bold
relief for several feet below the usual
height. What to make of this sudden oc-
currence proved a puzzle to many a wiser
head than ours, until the grand cause de-
veloped itself. In q very few seconds aE-
ter the fall of the tide, preceded by a
slight rumbling subterraneous noise, the
water over the "Greenhole" was seen to
rise a few feet and to be in great ebulli-
ton ; and, in the twinkling Of an eye, it
was evident that some long hidden vol
canic crater had come into action once
more, o huge and angry cauldron forming
n regular lake. of boiling wafer between The
Spout and the old Bathing house, whilst
o strong sulphurous odour pervaded the
air. AS quick rs thought again, the sea
rose to the extent of a little over four
feet, pouring in one vast volume into the
Coalyard of the r. NJ. S. Company, the
Treasury Offices, the stores on the wharf
line, and all along the sea boundary up to
Church's shipyard. Despair was depicted
upon every countenance-a general de-
LUCE seemed inevitable! Six times did
this submarine phenomenon show itself
in eruption-which it defies our pen pro-
perky to describe--when it suddenly
ceased, everything looking in its direction
as if nothing had occurred. Evening
setting in, the real amount of damage
caused could not then be ascertained ;
but, on the morrow, what a picture pre-
sented itself? The Careenage from one
TO the other was strewn with the sides
and tops of houses, and lumber of all des-
cr;ptions, and all the boats which the af-
ternoon before lay sefely ashore were all
adrift, some seriously injured and others
broken up. The vessels both in the Ca
reenage and the Bay were obliged to be
sharply watched; for at each rise of the
water, consequent upon fresh explosions
from the crater, they spun round as if in
a whirlpool. The Gem, the Caroline and
the Betho were in great danger. The
former was by superhuman efforts saved
from being thrown on the wharf, and the
next vessel nearly stove in her stern, the
Betha having to clear away from Church's
wharf as fast she could. Az the recess of
the tide several small crafts grounded, and
it is miraculous that nc injury took place
on the water.
On Monday night, at 9 o'clock, we ex-
p%erienced a shock of earthquake and at
a little before 1 on Tuesday morning, an
other shock was felt. They were Slight
and undulated perpendicularly.
