correspondent oil the New fork fl"es
writes from Lima, On the 24th OF August,
us follows:
Arequipa, the most beautiful city in Peru,
was completely oyerthrown by the earth
quake OF the 18th. Il was solidly built OF
stone. and contained about $4,000 inhabi-
tants. Without exaggeration | may say
that not one stone has been lett upon an
Iother. Not church is lett standing, not
house is habitable. The soidlty OF the
buildings enabled them 10 resist the hrst
shocks, aud gave time to the Inhabitants 10
escape to the streets and squares, but was
not sufficient 10 arrest the continued sio-
lence Of the earthquake. The number oi
persons buried beneath the ruins was about
200.
The earthquake commenced with an IN
dulating movement, and rs the shock
eliminated no one could keep his feet the
house rocked like ships in the trough Of the
sea. and come cru,nbling down. The
shrlcks Of the women aud the crash Of iali-
Ing masonry the npheayirg OF the earth
and the cioads OF binding dust made up a
scene Of terror that cannot bs described.
Nineteen minor shocks took place the same
night, and at latest accounts the earth still
cunialnued in motion. The earth has
opened 10 all the plains around tue city,
and water has appeared IN various places.
The neighborhood OF Tiabaya aud sa-
banda and all the outlets of the beautiful
city have shared her lot.

on the 18th instant, the inhabitants were
terrified w loud sub,erranean noises,

The shock immediately followed. Every
Duiiding vas shaken 10 its iouniatiun. The
population rushed into the streets. and

with all speed. Had they remained in IN,

DISASTER.
a sIoO, 900 nollar sire in rochester, NY.


ROCHESTER,, Dec. 2l-A fire occurred on Satur-
day night in the central part of the city, which
destroyed property to the value of $lOO,eOO
and, owing TO the insufliciency Of water, for
time threatened to sweep away some of the best
business blocks. The fire broke out in the
printing Office of the Daily Democrat, which
was totally destroyed, together with Sargent's
lock factory, in the same building, on Pindel
alley. The Union Bank building on State street,
occupied by the Flour City Bank, was pretty
much destroyed. The fire communicated to
other buildings adjoining, and did some damage.
The loss by water and damage of goods is con-
siderable. The following are the chief sufferers:
d. D. S. Brown, Rochester Democrat, $50, 900,
insured; j. Sargent, lock factory, Sis, 900, par
TALLY insured; D. W. Powers, owner of Democrat
building, and sundry others, $4,000, insured; ;

$4,000, insured; Moore & Cole, grocers, loss by
water $4,000, insured; Wheeler Wilson Sew

Moore, book bindery, $4,000, partially insured; ;
j. X. Garrettsee, $4,000, insured; J. Lenox,
$1,000, partially insured.
Messrs. o. Kiel, CIV. Clark, ]. 0denbuck, and
J. Money, all in the hat trade, suffered some
loss by water and removal. All the vaults of
the bankers were saved ana tnelr losses are
not large. There were many other sufferers in
small sums. The fire broke out at IL O'Clock,
and was not fully subdued until o'clock the
next morning. During the progress of the fire,
ladder, which had been raised against the
front of the Democrat office in Buffalo street,
broke in the centre, and four members of the
Alert Hose Company, named Smith, Hawley,
Dixon, and Husband, who were upon it, holding
hose, were thrown to the pavement, distance
of twenty-five feet, and all of them severely In.

IastIngs' PIea4antries,

The London correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser sayG of the late Marquis OF Hastings;
After leaving oxford University he hurried
along the road 10 ruin with selishness promi-
nent in his vices. His splendid country house
was a scene of mad dissipation for weeks to-
getber. Wine ran like water, and hundred
deviltres were constantly perpetrated. A gem
tleman told me only yesterday that he once
saw the Marquis open knite which contained
several extremely sharp blades, and put it in
the coat pocket of one of his guests while
dancing at ball. The result soon after was
a hand cut and gashPd in score of places.
This was n minor pleasantly OF the wretched
young nobleman. At other times he would
take down valuable family painting, aud set
it up on his lawn and fire at t. One year he
won seventy thousand pounds, and the next he
lost more than u hundred thousand. There is
often TO be seen in the Haymarket of a night a
Captain Scott who once won AS much in
similar manner, and who now wanders about
with frequently not half dollar in his pocket
to buy him dinner. Strange TO say, even
when he had the largest stake in the issue OF
a race, the Marquis rarely sho wed any interest
in the running, but would lean or sit listlessly
looking on, with a cigarette between his liDs
and nursing himself, as it were, against the
welcome summer breeze, even then 100 nippng
for his shattered frame"
