,Rl l •arihquakc at Martinique
A friend at St. Croix has gent us, the St.
Vincents Chronicle of the 12th February,
from which we extract the following partic
ular account of the late Earthquake at Mar
tinique.—N. Y. anew
• "On the following morning and fin-ennon,
we repeated our visit, and yet more in de
tail went over the spots so remarkably stri
king the previous nignt ; but first impress
ions retained their force. All the public
buildings are either totally destroyed, or so
rent or thrown down as to be useless. Of
1700 houses which composed the city, only
14 are saved; rind singular to say, these
are wooden edifices. Whole lines of streets
in the meaner suburbs wore entombed with
,i;eit inmates Ibr the falling in of the loftier
stone dwellings in their vicinity. But el all
the remarkable spectacles in this acciimuln
tion of horrors, none can vie with that
presented by the arched fragments of the
convent—the tattered shreds of the old, and
the site of what was the new hospital. This
splendid, building, but recently completed,
and which cost (as an intelligent merchant
informed us) 8100,000, is entirely razed to
the earth. Not a atone remains upon a
nother, and the soil of the open space or
yard in bent, is white from the dust into
• which it crumbled with its imprieored pa
teints, 46 in number, of whom 34 , , were
military.
".4n idea may be formed of the impetiis of
the earthquake in this quarter, when I men
tion that between ten and twelve feet in
front of the base lie the iron railings which ,
ran along it. Adjoining these masses of
shattered planks and strewn fragments, is
tha cemetry, or berrying ground. Hither
all the killed, after being gathered together
from different points, and deposited in dead
carts on la Place d'Armes, and that of des
Qaartres Noire ; were huddled into two
enormous ditches, dug for the occasion
which were instantly filled up with quick
lime. Some without arms or legs, others
ikanting ~n eye or a nose, women whose
breasts had been' torn off, wore plunged in
withoutt.distinetion of age, rank, or sex ;
tied (says a French writer) as theie hasty
sepulchres. could not contain the mass of
bodies which clogged them up, the assist
ants ware conyelled to squeeze, crowd, and
stamp them, as one packs herrings into a
barrel I Well might he doubt the evidence
of his sensesl
"We found it difficult to ascertain the ex•
set mortality. it would appear that about
nine hundred sufferers were dug out of the
ruins, and in five hundred of these life was
extinct. The others were carried to the
artillery barracks, fitted up as a temporary
hospital, and nothing can be better than the
arrangements there perfected. Ampule
tion was resorted to in numerous instances,
but none survived the operation. Govern
ment tries to conceal the extent of the ca
!amity, in order to reinspire confidence in
the colonists; but it admits a loss of 260
dead, and about an equal number wounded.

Benton Banner of March 16th, no less than
15 or 16 columns of the paper exclusively
occupied with Sheriff's sales! Soch is the
alarm created, that meetings have been held
there and at Yazoo City, late Manchester,
to devise means to avoid. the sacrifice of
property under these executions. A State

together with the renewed confidence and

Alf ASTOTI MAI MG CASE —for. Dactors.
On Saturday, August 18,1 . 837, a little girl
named • Jane, a daughter of Mr. Stearns,
who resides within thirty rods of the rail
road depot, at Lynn. accidently drank a few
swallows of potash water, which injured her
stomach so much that she has taken no
solid nourishment since. She has occasion.
ally drank n little milk, but for a large
portion of the time she has subsisted only
on water. And often she has passed whole
weeks without even drinking that. The
longest time she has gone without any thing
passing into her stomach is twenry.ene days.
At the time of writing this, which is on
Fast Day, she has gone nineteen days with.
out any nourishment whatever, not even a
swallow of water. It is now one year and
seven months she has been in this state.
When she drinks milk she is able to run
about and play, but when she \ fiists she
pines away, and after an abstinence of two
or three weeks, she can only rock herself in
the cradle. The facts in this case may h
relied on, and we think it is one worth the
attention of physicians and ph.vsiulogists.—
