- Priority of Invention.
;If seven cities contended for the honor of
having been the birth-place of Hoheh,
i • “ The blind old man of Soio'a toctj
twice seven pooplo are striving to obtain cre
dit for having suggested, if not invonted, tlio

have but the faintest and feeblest protensions.
Seqae of them simply.say.that, when tho tolo
graph was lirst established botwoon Washing,
tonand Baltimore, they thought, or, said, that
it would be a capital thing it, In fulness of
timo, the same mode of communication could
be extended between Europe and Amorioa.
Suroiy, any thing so vague as this should go
for nothing. Suppose that, in this year 1858,
we were to say, “ .What a capital thing it
would be if -Erostation could be made practi
cally,useful, by the invention of some method
of forcing the 1 balloon through tho air, inde
pendent of the influence of the wind,” and
ten or twenty years later, a mau
Slence were to discover and apply the
s of doing this. What portion of tho
tngeuiofls and scientiflo invention would be
long to os? Certainly hot any. Just. go.
with people wb6 thought - an' Atlantic Tele
graph would one day .be produced, and the
practical party who. finally produce it.
Mr) Tar.. P. SHAVruBE, the exceedingly in
genious’ gentleman, who prophecised, in Be
Bovi’i Review for September, ojter the Queen’s
and the President’s - messages had flashed
.across the Atlantic, in a few hours, that it
would toko two days, ten hours, ninctoen
minutes, and - twelve seconds to send tho
single wprd Mississippi across the ocean, has
favored us with a long letter in which lio says,
« X claim; to have givon Mr. Criius W. Field
the flfit idea of an Atlantic Telograph.”
Mr. Snxvrmitt tollß us.that in 1817 and 1818
be was associate builder of the Ohio and Now
Orleans electric telegraph lino. Ho says, “In
1850 I completed the St. Louis and New Or
loana lino, and sorrod as Its president nntil in
1853. -1 resigned, to reside in the East, hav
ing in vitw the Atlantic telegraph. There
was no part of the business, but what I had
made myself distinguished for proficiency in,
except, manipulation. The difficulties en
countered by me in crossing the Ohio, Missis
sippi, itijd other rivers, were well known in tho
i West. It wsb not until 1863 that Wo succeeded
' in inventing a oablo that would stand the cur
rent of those turbulent streams. These expe
riments' gave me the idea of a practicable
ocean telegraph. At this state of
many of the Western papers teemed with com
mendation. It was at this time that I aban
doned about tho largest tclograph interest then
owned IjJ any one person in America, except
tho patentees, to assume new responsibilities in
tho East,'and to far the) an ocean telegraph."
In October, 1858, Mr. Siuvpheb’s ideas of
the 'practicability of an Atlantic telegraph
were ridiculed in a scientific publication, and,
immediately defended by Mm in
m - 1 --raph Companion.

working of underground lines, and the expe
riments confirmed his mind as to the impracti
cability of long submarine circuits. When ho
returned to America, he published his opinion
that, with the present discoveries of scionco,
he did not see hew a galvanic or magneto
electric current from Newfoundland to Ireland
could be practicable for telegraphic service.
He tells us, now, after what wo have experi
enced to the contrary, «I have seen nothing;
in the working of the recently laid telegraph
to ohange tbiß opinion.”
Mr. Siiaffher now disclaims any preten
sions to credit in getting up the British Atlan.
tic Telegraph Horn Ireland to Newfoundland,
but claims that np to the spriDg of 1851, Mr.
Gyrus W 7 Fieri) was utterly ignorant upon
the principle and working oi' tho eloctric To
legraph ; and that, having been “ posted up ”
upon both by Mr. Shaffmeb, the idea of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company was originally
received by Field from SirarraEß. I
From whom did Mr. Suapfnkk got the idea ? j
Ho Bays that in 1853, he resigned the Presi
dency of the St. Louis and New Orleans tole- ]
graph lino, “to reside in the Bast, having in
view tho Atlantic Telegraph,” and that his
earliest knowledge of the tolograph was ac
quired in 1817-48.
On June 10, 1845, Mr. Jaood Brett, an
English onginoor, provisionally registered, at
the London Registry of Joint-Stock Compa
nies office, a prospectus of the General Oceanic
Telegraphic Company, declaring tho business
purpose to bo “ to form a connecting mode of
comjnunicatfon by Telegraphic means from
the British Islands, and across the Atlantic
Ocean to Nova Scotia and tho Canadas, tho
Colonies, and Continental Kingdoms.” In the
throe next following years, Mr. Brett’s docu
ments explaining tho practicability of Ills pro
ject appeared in various English journals, viz:
The Standard, Weekly Times, Sun, Morning
Chronicle, Morning Post, and Illustrated Lon
; don News. Moroover, while Mr. Sbayrmek
did not go oast, until IBSQ, then “ having in
view tho Atlantic Telegraph,” tho route of
tho line aorosa tho Atlantic was marked out by
Mr. Bbett upon ono of Wtld’s charts ot the
Atlantic Ocean, and pHbllcly exhibited in
1851.
Every date here Is dead against Hr. Shaff.
her. He may have been the first to give Mr*
Cyrus W. Field any ideas upon Ocean Tele
graphs, but be was not the first, by a great
Seal* to suggest any practical plan for laying a
lino across the Atlantic.
In truth, Electric Telegraphing, whethor by
sea or land, is, at best, but a cumulative pro
cess, long in hand, and slowly built up by the
labors of many persons, "Wore we to go back
to the fountain-head, Franklin would unde
niably bo considered, however remotely, the
Father of the Art. After him come Galvani
and Volta, who showed how Eloctrlcity
could ho produced by the chemical action of
acids upon metals. Twenty years later, Oer
sted discovered Electro-Magnetism, followed
by Ain»ERE*B practical application of the prin
ciple, and Henry's producing the mechanical
effects of transmitting and controlling the cur
rent to a distance. Th© labors of Araqo and
Faraway also contributed to the develop,
ment of tho laws of Electro-magnetism. In
1837, tho application of those laws was
practically made, in England as well
as in America—it had been the subject of suc
oossfUl experiment a very long time beioro,
even long anterior to Franklin. Wherever
the priority of invention may be, one fact la
moat undoubted —the first electric telegraph
in the world was that which Morse set op, be
tween Baltimore and Washington, in 1844.
That done, what has followed, Including the
Atlantic Telegraph itself* has been compara
tively easy. The result la 85,000 miles of
telegraph lines in this country, 10,000 miles In
England, and 100,000 miles in all the world.
Mr. Snarrnun’s favorite project of an Ocoan
lino from tho north of Europe to America
will probably bo carried out, ore long—for the
liocosslty of several lines is admitted—bnt a
comparison of dates clearly sho ws'that ho did
not originate tho idea of tho Atlantic Tole
graph botwoen the British Islands and North
America. ' i

Knowing that lottors from absent Philadelphians
are gonor&lly woloomo to jour columns, I take ad*
vantago of a few hours of waiting to write you nrt
account of thing* we hare seen and heard. We
left Philadelphia by the Heading Railroad, whtoh
carried us to Port Giinton. Karo wo changed cars,
and wore curried over the tracks of three railroad
companies, the Little Schuylkill, the C&tawiaaa,
Williomsnort and Erie, and tho WilUamipott acd.-

would hare its beauties proclaimed to ail the
world, and half mankind would bo annually
making pilgrimages to see it. It wmld baVo
copies of some of Its beauties hanging in every col

famed by the story-writers until Its every mouri*

It is the begetting sin of Pennsylvanians to he top
stlonfc respecting tho groat natural advantages of
thoir own S f ato, and we would suggest to Mr.
Thomas Kimber, tho president of the Catawissa
railroad, to*»hose zeal and enterprising industry
Philadelphians almost wholly owe the privilege of
rapldraiiroad travelling over this-moat beautiful
jortton of our Btato, that there is yet one thing
or him to do as soon as his arduous duties will

his railroad over all others, shall be generally

Elmira is growing faster than any other rail
road city with which wo are acquainted) It hoe
already eleven thousand Inhabitants, and is des
tined to become a great place. Its stores would
be creditable to any city in the Union, and there
are few hotols any whoro in tho country that sur-‘
mss its well-known Brainard House. ItexcUos
he most lively and pleasing astonishment to find;
whole blodks of stores like ours on Chestnut street,'
and hotols not much inferior to the Girard House,,
in a city that but yesterday, as it were, Was
scattered little collection of oheaply-bullt hottsos. i
Prom Elmira we passed over the Erie Railroad
to Dunkirk, and thenoo along the Lake Shore to :
Erie, whore wo left railway travelling, and took
to the more primitive conveyance of stages for onr
destination, Meadville, the seat of two quite fa
mons theological schools. We put ourselves into
the bands of the hotel-keeper at Erie, -who under
took to put us into the Meadville stage, bnt through
accident or design, handed us Into one which only
went to Waterford, fourtoen miles on the way.
There were nine passengers and a baby in tho
coaoh, and John happened to get the middle seat
on the middle bench.
On the right-h&od seat of the front bench sat the
baby’s mother, and on the left-hand scat of the
back benoh was its grandmother, and every few
minutes it was found neaers&ry tooh&nge the baby
from one lady’s hands to those of the other. John
was in the direct line of transit, and in hU good
natured way soon found himself aotively engaged
in the labor of periodically .forwarding the baby
to and fro. As night drew on, thepreoionsdar
ling was well wrapped up and pinned in a travel
ling shawl, bnt still the changing of nurses went
on. Finally, John either tired of bis business or
in search of amusement, qulotly turned the darling
upside down as be banded it across to its mother,
who ombr&oed it tenderly, talking the mosfcenter
tafning small talk, and patting its feet affection
ately. It was only when tho little one got its
breath under the shawls, and commenced roaring
and kicking simultaneously, that the mother dis
covered the situation of the dear little innocent,
which was rewarded for its sufferings by kisses
and,caresses Innumerable, 4 -while unlucky John
,wea talked at to baby in a way that made us sorry
-we ooutd-pot see the glances of Indignation
mast have been dashed si^hls'ofFcodtaghead.*
The baby was not entrusted to Ais hands any more
till we renohod Waterford.
»ws, hopes, and
Then there was no connecting stage for Mead
vilie, and we had the alternative of waiting till
the next afternoon, or getting a private convey
ance. Deciding not to wait, we found we were
considered fair game, and wore to be fleeced.
John, however, Mid we need never fear to take
ourselves from the hands of euoh Philistines, and
trust to the hospitality of any Pennsylvanian-born
farmer; so we started early next morning, and
went a short distance nlong the road, where we
found a aentloman who oarried us (twenty-two
utiles) to Mendville, waited till we were ready to
return, brought us back, insisted on our staying a
day or two at hfs house, took ns out equirrel
gbooting, and generally laid himself out to enter
tain us with true old-fashioned hospitality.
The orops In this section this year are generally
no or. The wheat crop is 6mall, corn not above a
half crop, oats small In quantity and poor in
quality, and potatoes almost the only Grop that
has repaid the farmer for his toil and expendi
tures. Oats, for instanoo, aro selling in the dif
ferent markets in this section at sixty to sixty
two cents a bushel, and poor in quality at that.
Politics in Erie and Crawford district nre, as
Stephen Blackpool would say, “ nil a muddle.”
The Republicans have nominated Elijah Babbitt,
of Erie, for Congress, but the Democrats have not
agreed, as yet, upon a candidate. The Crawford
County Convention has named Gaylord Church,
E?q., of Crawford, a Leeompton man, woll backed
an by the postmasters and other office-holders.
William Galbraith. Esq., of Erie, is tho ohoice of
the F.rio Democrats. He is said to he of strong
anti-Leooropton tendencies. Whether the contest
between the two counties for tho nominee can he
adjusted before the election is uncertain. It ie
said that John A. Walker will ran as an indepen
dent Republican candidate against Babbitt, if the
Democrats do not agree.
For tho State Senate, theDemoor&tic conference,
held on tfao first of OoUbor, nominated Benjamin
Grant, Esq., a Leaompton man, and a commission
er under tne fugitive-slave l&w. The Republicans
have nominated D. A. Finney, Esq. Mr. Fionev
was formerly the Senator from this district, and
engineered through the Legislature the bill by
which tho Erio Railrood war was compromised,
and tho obnoxious track allowed to remaio, on
condition that half a midion of dollars should be
snbsoribod by the stockholders of the Franklin
Canal Company towards building a railroad from
Erie to Pittsburgh. His coure© on this mattor
made Mr Finney many'bitter enemies la Erio,
and as many warm friends in the region through
wkioh the new railroad will pass, and this railroad
question will enter very largely inlo the eleotion
contest. Finney is an able man, a shrowd politi
cal manager, with troops of devoted friends, and
a strong Republican district at bis back, and it
scorns hardly possible to defeat him. Vet a vigor
ous effort of a united Denworaoy might accomplish
this, espoolally as many independent candidates
could be got to volunteer against him on the rail
road question. Our party oondidafo, however,
has the Leoompton millstone suspended round his
neck, and a&nnot fail to sink with it If we must
bavo a Republican Senator from Crawford and
Erie, we do not know anybody that we weuld
prefer to Mr. Finney. Ho is a sound lawyer, and
a good parliamentarian, and is a oredit to his con
stituents.
Thoro Is anothor war raging at Harbor Creek, a
famous place since the railroad riots. A Mr.
Ferguson tied his horses by tho roadside while ho
went into the woods to shoot a few squirrels. A
blaok man fired a gun off beside the horses and
frightened them. Mr. Ferguson came book to his
horses, and remonstrated with tho blaok man, who
coolly said ha would shoot him if bo said much,
and forthwith levelled his gun at Ferguson and
fired. The bull passed through Forguson’s cloth
ing across his breast, outting his shirt and skin
slightly. Ferguson returned tho flro inoffeotually
as the man was moving through tho woods Somo of
his neighbors tarnod out to approhond tho follow,
and one of them oamo upon him and oalicd to him
to surrender. He replied with a shot, which went
through the other’s cap,’ slightly wounding his
head. He was stunned by the shot, so that his aim
In returning the fire was not very good, though ho
thinks he wounded tho assassin. All the country
round has turned out to hunt tho fellow up. We saw
one man tying a huge bull-dog into a wagon in Erie
early this morning, as he said, “ to track the nig
ger,’ * nnd John took his oarbine and said ho would
go* gunning as far as Harbor Creek, and perhaps
he should boo some of tho sport. Ho has just come
book, and reports more than two hundred men out
with arms, hunting for the blaok man. All the
bridges loading to tho oity, and all over Six Milo
Creek, arc guarded, and large companies aro
scouring tho woods. x ,
John concluded, on the whole, that he would as
Kef not bo.a oolored man, coming up from beyond
Six Mile Creek to Erie, just about this time. He
is inolinod to think that they love oolored people
so in this Republican district, that if they were to
see any colored man under the oirounrstanooa
named, they would “loso distinction in their
joy,” and Bhoot him, and, perhaps, makohim into
minood meat, without reference to his identity.
But a heavy rain is falling, nnd perhaps It will
dampen the ardor of pursuit. Yours.

Tuesday, July 0,1858. J
Aftor the conclusion of the now treaty, on the
18th of June, the duty next in order was to restore
to the Chinese the original copy of the old one.
This, instead of being deposited in the imperial
archive? nt Fokin, bad been found by the allies,
on their occupation of Canton, snugly seoreted'in
the pal&oo of the Viceroy. The commissioners
that it was left there by orders of the Empe
ror, ue the most suitable plaoe for all documents
relative to foreign affairs. This also acoountsfor
the discovery, at the game time and place, of
another important State paper. It is a memorial
of Keying, in which he sets forth the principles of
his foreign policy. 11 The barbarians,” ho says,
! { umn be maniged. byatratogeitfi” and' he'hid
aosorduigly tought to flatter them by condescend
/fig attentions as far as ho could without compro
mising the dignity of a minister of Btato. He
ridlouies their gormandizing and uxorious habits,
derides their gullibility, and boosts of having
trumped them on sundry occasions. In this docu
ment, which was intended Hg a confidential con}'
munioaxion to his sovereign, the wily minister
completely unmasks hlmsolf, and shows that all
tho oaudor and liberality for whioh be obtained
credit in his intercourse with foreign officials was
an elaborate deception. t
Little did he imagine, whilo recording with
suoh gusto the trium'phs of his dapUoity, that
that very document would, fifteen years later, fair
flung into his face by the indignant bands of those
whom he boasted or having duped. But such is
the reward of falsehood. Called from the Ob
scurity from whioh he had sunk, as a man whose
known skill in “ managing barbarians” qualified
him for directing the course of negotiations in
the present crisis, he hastened to the arena, pre]
suming on his established character. But what
was his dismay to have that unluoky memorial
presented for his perusal in the very presence of
his colleagues! Unable to face the foreign pleniJ

lasi, ana is now under sentence of death.
But to return to tho old treaty—the lucky hoar ‘
selected by the commissioners for reoeiying it was!
fourP. M>, on the 19th ult. At the time appoint-!
ed Dr. Williams conveyed it to their office. They'
were extremely busy, and we remained bat a short j
time. They were about despatching a courier with'
the memorial to the Emperor, and, as usual on such j
occasions, bad just been engaged in invoking the j
“ et Augustus ” of the Northern capital.
This is done by burning incense, and lighted tapers'
before a tablet marked with the title of “ King
Live-forever, ’’ and adoring it with nine prostra
tions. The object of the memorial was to learn
the pleasure of his Mujsaty touching seme point in
the English or French treaties. The demands of
the allies had thrown the commissioners into a sad
state of perplexity; and old .Kwelliang remarked
despondingly, that ‘‘ however faithfal they might
be in discharging their commission, it would be
impossible for them to escape being censured by
their master.” He denonnoed Keying as a hollow
hearted deceiver, and commended himself and col
leagues as men of unimpeachable integrity; at the
same time he protested that neither of them bad
oxeraisod the remotest agency in bringing Keying
to his unhappy fate.
On the morning of the 25th our Minister had a
parting interview with the Imperial Commission
ers, at the Temple of ißolas, or the Wind-God,
where ho had mot Keying. It was not, however,
tbo last time that ho saw them; for he had hardly
reached his lodgings when a messenger came with
an earnest request that he should come to their
office on urgeut business. A similar invitation
was sent to the Russian Minister. On arriving
they wore told that an imperial edict.had been
received, in whioh H. I. M. positively rejected
'several of tho most important demands of tbeEng
lisb. A paper was produced whioh professed to
be an extract from it. In this the Emperor was
!made to say that he would “ negative with'ten
■thousand vetoes any proposition toplaoe a resident
Minister at Pekin, aha that unrestricted inter
course with all parts of the interior oould by ho
means be allowod.” J .
;• . “ Von sec,” said KwoiHaug, addressing, himself
"to-tbe twoministers, MhowiipportuDatejyiheEng-,
lish urge their demands, ana bow deoldedly our
great Emperor repeats them. Between the two,'
our lives aro in jeopardy. If we sign a treaty
containing those oonoessions, we shall- be con
demned as traitors. If wo refuse, and the English
renew hostilities, we shall be pat to death for fail
ing to obeck their progress. But, for myself, if I
must die, I prefer to fall with hands unstained with
the guilt of hetrayiug my country. In this emer
gency it is to you that we look for help. Your ho
norable nations have always been oar friends, and
w& have just confirmed our friendship by renewing
our treaties. "Wo entreat you, therefore, to use
your combined influence to induce Lord EJgin to
recede from these unreasonable demands. Our
every hope depends on your exertions.”
During this speech, the voioe of Kweili&ng. en
feebled with age, became tremulous with emotion.
Tt was deeply touching to see this veteran states-'
man of a proud empire suppliant at the foot of
barbarian ministers. The latter assured him of
their sympathy, (what could they do less?) but
wero unable to quiet bis apprehensions with any
thing better than the vaguest promises. Through
out the interview Hwosbana maintained a stoical
composure. He is the military ohief *f the blue
bordered banner, and his bearing on this, as on all
other public occasions, was characterised by severe
dignity.
From the tone cf this interview I was disposed
to augur unfavorably for the fits whioh our An
glican and Gallic friends were expecting to cele
brate on the two following days. I feared Lord
Elgin would have to defer a while the wearing
of his oooked hat, whioh he despatched a gun-boat
to bring up from the outer anchorage, and that
the officers from the squadron, who were invited
to witness the signing of the treaty, would be
parties of a less pacific speotaole.
But his lordship was not to be thwarted. At 6
P. M., on the 26tb, the marine companies -were
drawn up in front of his lodgings, and he came
forth amidst the salute of a military band and the
choers of the allied squadrons. Banners of every
color floated in gay festoons from tho mastheads,
and the yards wore manned to do honor to the oc
casion. Aftor an absence of two hours he retnrred
with tho sign and the seal of the Imperial Commis
sioners to all hi 3 demands.
By what arguments they were persuaded to com
pliance it is not difficult to divine It is said that,
notwitbstafiding'he had just received instructions
not to maroh on Pekin for any consideration, he
overawed the commissioners by threatening to
storm the capital, whioh was, under the oiroum
stanoes, a proceeding of very questionable mo
rality. Bat whether the edict was a myth, the
extractions it aforgery, and their pathetic appeal
to the intercession of the neutral ministers only a
subterfuge of baffled diplomacy, or whether they
have devoted themselves to a future but inevitable
doom to avert from their country a present ca
lamity, is a question which does not admit of so
ready a solution.
On the evening of the next day (Sunday) the
French treaty was signed, and the return of the
ambassador and his cortege was hailed with a
brilliant display of fireworks and prolonged and
enthusiastic cheering, as tho grand finale of the
second war with China.
Tbo four treaties were now combined in one des
patch, and sent to Pekin by a fleet oourier, while
tho commissioners waited in breathless suspense
for the imperial rescript. At length the Vermil
lion pencil deigned a reply: “We have received
the treaties of the Four nations—this is from the
Emperor.” The commissioners felt relieved, and
thought tho foroign plenipotentiaries ought to be
satisfied. But this was not a r&tifioation; and
nothing short of an Immediate ratification could
warrant the allies in withdrawing their forses;
for what assuronoe have thoy that on the removal
of the oxisting pressure that the Emperor will not
repudiate the acts of his ministers, and undo all
that they have expended so muoh time and trea
sure to accomplish. They resolved to apply the
eorews and extort a ratification without delay.
Gunboats were sent to the outer anchorage, with
orders to bring up a thousand* additional troops;
and just after the signature of treaties of peace,
we have the anomaly of preparations of war. It is
not likely, however, that anything more than a
display of foroe will be required to obtain the de
sired document. _
Having allowed a year for the exobange of rati
fications, and having no doubt of obtaining tho Jm-
Sorial sanction, our Minister prepared to retire.
ount Ponciatiuo, with the oharaoteristio jealousy
of a Russian diplomatist, remained to watch the
proceedings of the allies, and, with great genero
sity, offered Mr. Reed the use of his own steamer
to descend the river, as the vessel chartered for
the American Legation had been sent to Hoag

For its othor memhcrß it may be said that though
there has been some co-operation, there has boon
no oordlnlity. Between the English Lord and
Frenoh Baron mutual distrust has been ill oon
ooaled by an interchange of ofiolous courtesies,
and the agent of the Osar has watohed them both

The United States maH ; steamship Blaok War
rior, 8. W. Smith, commander, from NewYorkon
the 27th ult., and froinHavana on the 3d, arrived
at the levee last night- She has experienced very
pleasant weather the entire passage.
On the 29th ult., at-half-past-four P. M., the
naval magazine at Havana, situated at the head of
the harbor, containing over one hundred and fifty
thousand pounds of gunpowder, several hundred
loaded shells, together with a large quantity gS
rockets, fireworks, Ao., Ac., exploded. Theshofek
and effect, as described by the residents of the oity,
was truly awful.
Thus far there have been found in the ruins and
about the grounds twenty-eight dead bodies, and
one hundred and five wounded, four of whom died
shortly after being removed to the hospital.
For some moments the air was filled with all de
sorptions of destructive missiles, and stones,
shells, da., were projected a long distance from
the building, and into the bay.
No damage was done, to the vessels at anchor.
The dead bodies of three ooolies were blown
through the air to the slope of Fort Atares, nearly
a quarter of a mile off
There were upward?of three hundred persons
employed on the new Sugar warehouses in the im
mediate vioinity of the disaster, ‘mostly ooolies, and
among them the loss of Ufa and limb appears to
havo been greatest. .Of the military guard of
the magazine, consisting of a sergeant and sixteen
men, only four remain. bodies are, no
doubt, yet under the ruins, and in the waters of
the harbor. „ ,
The destruction of the fine pile of sugar ware
houses, some twenty buildings, several of whioh
were finished and the others in oourse of construc
tion ia complete. Nothing now remains bat a
mass of stones and rubbish. The ooneusiion was
so great as to destroy the gasometers, rendering
the gas works for the present entirely useless, ana
will require at least three months before the oity
onn be lighted- Every residence is more or less
affected by the shock. -Several buildings sus
tained &reat damage. .Among the number was
the residence of Don Domingo Ald&ma, fronting
the military parade ground; the house of Don
Jose Marie Bonitas, and the edifice of the Royal
Equinomical Society'.
The Dtario de la-Marina of the 30th, In no
