TORTOLA.

The news which has come in from Tortola
forms q sorroWful chapter in the history OF
that British possession. Mr.. Rufus Decastro
arrived Town from there and tells us that the
colony has suffered terribly, Seventy five
per cent of the buildings in Roadtown have
either disappeared Or been badly wrecked.
Among the totally destroyed are the English
Church and schoolroom; damaged badly are
the Government House, Wesleyan Church,
Jail, and some damage to the Experiment
station. The Wesleyan Schoolroom has been
turned into a hospital for the wounded, of
which there is II large number. There are
officially stated 20 denths; among them being
a well known gentleman, and TO, mer mer-
chant in ST. Thomas, Mr.. JOS. B. Romney,
proprietor of s state "Belmont" on the north
side of the island. Mr.. Romney was killed
in the presence of his wife while they were
endeavouring to reach the kitchen for safety.
He was buried on Tuesday. The Wesleyan
Chapel at West End, Captain Hodge from
there tells us, is gone and there are few hab-
~itations left. At Georges, North Side,
not a house stands, the same at Todman,
Long Bush, Freebottom, Caldwell; at Long
Look. only three remain. What boats were
not sunk by a tidal wave were washed up on
the hill side, leaving none seaworthy; the
Lady Constance sank. Crops all gone and
general want staring the colony.
We understand from Mr.. Decastro TINT
there was no centre, but % continuous blow
from about 7 o'clock in the evening to $50
next morning-there were, of course, shifts
Of wind.
The estate belmont" referred to above is
an utter ruin in every respect.
