One- half of tho island baa becnlaid waste, and the loss or human life is estimated at over 1,000. This earthquake vai but a small affair com pared with that long series of similar misfortunes which viailed Calabria in tho same latitude,' SS- 39 dcz-. 17S3-4. The nnmber of shocks of tha firs! degree to which that unhappy country waa subjected in tba former year was 601. and in tha latter year fJ&- But few houses in the cities.. towns iod village, from the" vrestern flanks cf the Apennines 'tj 31essina, io Sicily, were left standing, and upwards of 40,000 persons pe tith ed. The convulsion of carth. aea and air fur they were all effected together wis felt over a great part of fc'icily and as far norta ae'Naplea. Previous to this, in 1755, Lad occurred tie most destructive earthquake of modern timet, at Li Uo, in lat. dez-, city whisn until that time, had never been serbnsly iaiared from this cauc. ,aa!iavi i&onuc-. J u Ou Jeizrti J. wu the first warniog, and iu tba next six min utes the greater part of tha city was in ruins, and 60,000 persons were no more. With the first shock the sea retired, leaving tha bar dry, and then rolled iu with a gigantio wave fifty feet Ligh, which swept over the lower part of the city, drowning thousand of the miserable inhabi tants who had fled to the streets and squares for safety. A great concourseofTC:opte bad collect- ed on a new marble quay, as a spot where Ithey could stand beyond the reach of falling ruins, when it suddenly sank, with all who were upon it, acd it is said that not one of the dead bodies ever floated to the surface. Tbe water above the spot is oow one hundred fathoms deep. Over 100,000 persous were destroyed by ihia esrtb- quake. Ita effects were felt on all sides to a dis- unto oi many cundred milos; the acitatioa rechiog even to Great Briraib, where lakes, ri vers and springs were affected in .the most remark able manuer. In Loch Lomond, Scotland, thoi water suddenly rose two feet and four inches, and subsided below iu former level. It was re-1 ported that similar phenomena were observed ia j Lake Champlaio and in some poods in Massachu setts. Ibe vibiaticn, or wave, of tha earthquake 4ijerd to-bo transmitted -at tberata jufTibOur twenty miles a miaute. The 'Island of Sicily and the western coast of Asia Minor, in the same latitude, have been repeatedly desolated by earth quakes, involving tho destruction of towns and villages with the greater part of theirpopulatiens. . Following this earthquake xoae across the ocean into the Uoited States, we find that the only great tcrrestriial convulsioua4rwhioh this cou a try has been subjected eoeurred upon it. The first was at New Madrid, Mo., (lat. 833 deg.) in 1S1 1. Tha groaud at New Madrid waa ia a quaking state' for several months, thoug'i the number of severe shocks were few. Among the remarkable changes that wera wrought "in Ikia region were tb formation of lakes twett'ty miles iu extent in tbe coiirso of an hour, and the druin age of others equally b2ff"To,.tbe aalB8 ppace.6f time ;v tho sinkiiig of the site of New Madrid, and the river bank for fifteen miles above, eight feet below their former level;, thebureting open of tbo toil, and the ejection of vast volumes of wa ter, sud and pit-coal as high as the tops, of tbe trees; the splitting of 'the earth into charms, in a diroction generally from N. E. toS. Y. Dur ing thesy Bhocks, the. earth rose ia great undula tions, and, aa the waves advanced,, tho trees-bent before them as if -.to a hurricane. We believe that no lives were lost in this earthquake. Still following this line across the' continent, we come to Ban Francises and the 'surrounding country on tho Pacific lying in S3 SO deg. Hero Occur red another raeuiorable earthquake in 1S65, wbfeb. gave tho fast people, of San Francisco a new sen sation, one that they do not want repeated. No body was killed, if we recollect rightly, and but little damage was dpne to property buttbreon-r huenceof the inhabitants in the stability cf their real estate once shaken esq never be entirely re stored.
