Tho Atlantic brought ua,a brietannounoe4 • meet that an awful explosion had mama iu the : island of Rhodes by which, about nearly five hunared l ives , were lost. • The Press° d'Oricet. publishes A letter which gives some of the details of the destruction of a part of.the town of Rhodes by' the ex., plosion of the powder magaaine "In the afternoon of the 16th of Novena * . bee, Rhodes was visited by a most violent thunderstorm, and several houses were struck by lightning and more or 'leas inju. red. Buddeolyi a tremendous explosion wait heard ; the ground shook as from the effeet of an earthquake' and windows were smash:- ed iu every direction. The explosion was followed by two others and a dense black smoke arose. It was a fter a time ascertain ed that the lightning had fallen on the church of at. J ohn, and had penetrated in. 'to the subterranean vaults underneath, used as adepot for gunpowder, and in whioh an implant° quantity of that commodity had recently been placed. It is impossible io depict the horror of the•scone. Not house was left standing in the whole qua. ter of the city near the church, and that building itself was completely levelled with the ground. The quarter was the richest and handsomest in the town, and not a ves tige of itiow remains: Disfigured bodies Were lying about on.. the ground, and the groans of the dyidg were , beard on every . aide— 'prompt and immediate anis tame tieen given, there' is no doubt that teeny—ayes might have been saved; but ve iny one was thrown into each consternation by-the auddeeneas of the , catastrophe, that. but few 'had presence of mind enough left to, undertake the painful task. Night wen arrived,- and frotu,some strange motives 'of ' safety, which are inexplicable under such • circumstances, the gates were closed, and,q the °predate for assistance were for tt time suspended. Mr. Campbell, the Eng lish , Consul; haVing assembled some work tuen, , inid the gates again opened, and' pro- emitted to the scene of the disaater,and, as .well as, they, could, cleared away the rains, ; iurtieularly at the places where the groans , of still living wero - the moat die, tinotly beard. This work was one'of great; difficulty, for the rah fell in snob terrain' thatit was impo'ssible to keep a torch burn: , , J• At,deylight next morning more effieleut . Means were organized. Several deed hod-, , ies 'were gdt out, and young girls of eighteen, and a child of noven, wore after wards extricated alive. These and three or Pour others, who were saved on the previous night, ere all that survive out of a papule tiou of between 400 or 500, who were In the quarter at the time of the explosion:— Only about ono hundred', and fitly of the bodies have'yet been found, as they are alt so deeply buried under the rulus.i Only two Chriatiaue wore killed, the , quarter be ing inhabited' by Turks. The family , of the " Mel lliuditri Purley Effendi, composed of eighteen persons, have all perished. ' mother, his wife and his daughter ' were found about 500 yards from their house. Some idea of the force of the explosion may be formed from the fact that a barge in the harbor was sunk by a quantity of 'stones falliug'en her, and beating a hole' thmgh - her bottom, and by a sailor being killed by • a stone strikiug him in the'-head at a dip. tam of more than belt a y mile front the spot. trona the Philadelphia Neva of Tucaday.
