DESTRUCTIVE EARTH QUAKES.

A PANIC-STRICKEN

POPULATION,

EXCITING SCENES,

COOLNESS of TBE PRINCE OF WALES

Nice, in Italy, and Connes, in aa well as several other points in both coun tries, wero visited by severe earthquakes on February 23rd. In tho former city, sixty houses wero loft in a condition to fall at any moment, and many others are much damaged. Some wells dried up, while others increased in volUmb. Another shock was felt on the 25th, and 20,000 left the place. A chasm opened iv tho ground near tho city, from which a stream of hot muddy water bubbled up. Notwithstand ing tho fright, and large desertion of Nice by tho inhabitants, the Theatro reopened ou tho night of the 26th, and tho collogo also resumed. Concerts wore given in tho public gardens. The cffoctß of tho earthquake at Mentono wore moro terrible Everything there wns re ducod to ruins, and the staircases of the few lioueoe (hat remained standing wore pro nounced unsafe. Large crevices were-dis closod in tlio cemetery, and the cupola of tho Cathedral, as woll os tho vault of tho VVhito Penitents aro destroyed. The building inßpectore condemned two-thirds of the j.icturosque o'd town as unsafe. A atilT wind provuilod on the 27th, making it further unaafe to walk about the etreete. Several firea occurred, but were speedily extinguished, and military guards on duty prevented pillaging of the wrecked housee. Monte Carlo Buffered lose than any other placo. The scientists say this ia due to the fact that it ia built on rock, a rulo that dooa not work in South American earth quakes. Tho woather at Mentone was beautiful, and refugees from the shattered towna who bave recovered from thoir fright wore making the most of it. There was a torriblo state of affairs at a placo called Diano-Marino, visited on tho 2Gth by Signor Genala (Minister Public Works), General di Sonnasa, and a numborof deputiea from the districts ravaged by the earthquake. The bodioa of 24 persona wero taken from tho ruitis on that day, and 04 more are reported undor tho fallen buildings. A child of twelvo and hor father woro taken from the ilcbris, whon tho latter expired on tho spot. A woman ond child were taken out allvo, aftor being on tombed throo duya. The survivora aay that tho mojority of tho victima woro killed by tho second shock, many people having ro entered thoir houses to procure clothing. Bodioa, wrapped in shrouds, lay in the middlo of tho Btroots, and groanß woro hoard in tho ruins, especially in the Via Garibaldi. At a houso noar tho city, a ball was in progress, and when tho shocka eamo tho building waa en tiroly wrecked, a terrible loss of lifo reaulting thorofrom. The dancers lay dead in hoopa upon tho ground. Many hp.usea destroyed had largo tanks underneath filled with olive oil intended for exportation to Franco and Germany ; this all disappeared, and tho lo«s ia placod ot §500,000. Almost the entire population encamped on the sea shore. A party of soldiers exploring the ruinß in thia place found n judge, Rossi, lying beneath omasa of tlebrut, etiil alive. Whilo tho men wero trying to extricate him, a beam fell, killing the captive, and wounding tho soldiors. At Genoa, the populnco slept out-of-doors on tho 24th. Many went aboard theshipa in tho harbour, and 3,(100 fled the city by roil. The earth quakos wero strongly folt off tho Genoeee coaet, awaking aailorß from their sleep Supplies, however, were aont from Genoa to the moro severely visited districts, and a transport left the port on tho 24th for Oncglia, to take on board live hundred con victs confined thoro, tho prieon being ex pected to collapse. The activity of the Genoese doctors is placed beyond all praise. It was roported at Rome on the 24th that Briaeana, a village of 800 inhabit ants, had been lovelled, and the people buried undor tho ruins without hope of rescue. Villages built in terraces on the aides of lulls are almost all destroyed. Tho exodus from tho Riviera waa enormous, and Marseillea waa invaded by an army of fugi tives, utterly panic stricken and demoral ised. Prime Minister Goblet, of France, sont tho Prelect of Nico 10,000 franca to aid Btifferora ; tho Popo sent 52.000, and assistance waa coming in from other quarters. A despatch from Rome gives tho following official list of the killed and wourded : —Brigando, 300 ; Diuno- Marino, 250; Brisaano, SO ; Diano Cußtello, 30. Thoso figures embrace both killed and wounded in tho province of Porto-Manrizio, 570 porsotiß woro killed and injured. In tho province of Genoa, 74 ; Nico, 12 ; at Bari, fi; Bollene, 12; and many ot Chateau- Nouf. At Sovono, two houses fell, kill ing nino poraona, ond injuring fifteon. Shocks woro folt at Parma, Turiu and Cozenza. At Caebollaro, a church fell kill ing many persona. All tho membera of the family of tho Mayor of Bagordo wero killed. Of another fumi'y consisting of 22 persona named Malstoi, only a single member, halt demented, is loft.

THE LATEST. A London despatch of March 12 anye ; — Sliooka woro folt at Montono on Thurs day, preceding the most violent s'neo February, and visitors are again harry ing away. At Monto Carlo the Bhock caused a panic in tho ga'iibling-rooms, and Iho players fled in dieraay. A sharp chock waa felt throughout Marseilles, France, on the 11th, but no damage rosulted. Cowardice or Many Titled Tourists London, March I,—Last year thore was a railway accident at Monto Carlo. This waa pointod out ti ti d special judg ment against gambling. It is eomewhat against thia special judgment doctrine that Monto Carlo ecoms to have been almost tho only place on tho Riviora which was not injured by tho earthquake, while in one place where peoplo flocked into a.church tho roof fell on thorn. This immunity from danger at Monte Carlo aeems to have arisen from the place being built upon a rock. Thoro is the samo formation at VilloFranche ond this entirely eecapod, not a teacup being brokon. Vißitora to the Riviera consist eithor of pleaeure or liealth-sookors, and moro abjoct cowards than thoy have proved thomeolves wore never collected together. Many, I sco, refused to return to their hotola and Bent their servants to get their raimonb from the rooms. Why should they have supposed that Bervanta' livoa wero lees valuable than their own ?

The only mon amone thorn soems to have been the Prince of Wales, who, being in his bed, remained in it. They wore all as ignorant aa thoy were cowardly, for they all hurried to tho eoaelde. If, however, there had been another earthquake of really serioua character, a great wave would havo washed thorn away. Thousands of Foople Without Homes ana Needing Assistance. A fisherman in tho harbour of Genoa on tho night preceding the great earthquake noticed that the sea had retreated much more than usual. Intuitively feeling that something was about to happen, he ro-1 mained tho whole of the night on the bay. The inhabitants of Onoglia complain that the authorities neglect thorn because of tho teliof that tho town has suffered le . damage than did others. On the con trary, they soy although the walls of the houses, being well built, withstood the shocks, all the interiors collapsed, in conse quence of which 0,000 persons are com pelled to live in ehods and tenta, suffering greatly through the expoßure to the wind and rain. Of 300 bodios buried at Diano- Marino only fifteon wero identified. Five thouaand persona there are still camping out. The air is becoming horribly offenaivo, owing to the stench arising from tho corpsos that aro yot in tho ruins. Tlio structures in which tho injured at Bajardo were sliel , tered were blown down by the wind, and before the helpless patients could be re moved to a placo of safety, they wero all covered with enow, and half dead from cold. Disoaso Brooders Tho Paris correspondent of the "Tele graph" telegraphs as follows:—"M. Lock roy, Minieter of Commorco, has made a remarkable etatement to tho effect that the sewers of Nice, Mentone, ond other places along tho Riviora havo been co damaged that the infiltrations which will necessarily take place may make the soil breed con tagious diseases. Tbe danger on this score during the wsiin southern summer is obvious." I A Rival of Wlggln. Professor Falb, of Vienna, who predicted tho earthquakes which ht.vj taken plico from solar observation, now prophesiei that ne may expect several moro daya of similar disturbances, accompanied by torri fic stormß. Tho oth and 24th of March, the 7th and Bth of April, and the middle of

Sepfcembor and October next are mentioned las dates on which tho worst may be antici pated. A Singular Escape. At Diano Marino a woman and child were extricated alive after remaining for three days under the tho ruins. A boy and hia father were found olive, but tho latter died soon after. At the moment of the earthquake they were sleeping in the same room. They heard a great noise and then found themßolvea thrown down and in Derfect darkness for some time. They called for help, and the minutea aeemed ages. At laet they lost consciousneaa The boy, who iB still atunned, cannot remember how long they had been buried. Groans are still heard from under the ruine, especially in Garibaldi. Singular Frealis of Natiire. Near Nice a largo chaam has opened in the ground, and from it hot mud in streams ia bubbling up. Certain portions of the Mediterranean coast havo sunk consider ably, while others hove been raised. Many new springs have burat forth among tho mountains, others having dried up. About 6 000 hove gone away eince the day before yesterday. Most of tho churches havo been almost entirely destroyed, thoso at Mentone having Buffered very severely. Exciting Scenes —Men on thoir Knees In tho Streets. At Nico the oarthquake ahockß caused an awful Burpriso to tho crowda of maskers returning homo from tho carnival festi vals in fancy costumes, worn and bo draggled by tho night'" exercises and looking dull ond dreary under tho glare of the morning sunlight. Tho first Bhock created an immediate panic. Womon eoreamed in torror, nnd thero was a wild rush in all directions for safety from what overy ono thought was an iraponding calamity. Tho barking of dogs and the clanging of tho church bolls addod to tho momontary terror. Tho people first rushed te the church of Notre Dome and besieged tho confessionals. Tho dramatic scene was presented of many strong men on their knees praying. Thon came tho> second shock, ond terror was depicted on every face. The praying crowds hastened outside for safety. The troopß were called out to keep order among the crowda bo sieging the railways throughout tbe city. seeking for the Dead. Troopa havo been compelled to keep back at the point of tho bayonet the crowds of despairing men and womer who wero impeding the work of oxcava tion in their efforts to find missing rela tives. Tho bodios of victims of the diaaster aro terribly disfigured. The sufferings of the aurvivors ore croat, the supply of pro viaions, drugs, and ambulanco apparatus being painfully inadequate. Tho work of tho rcscuors ia attended with con siderable danger. In some case", they liavo beon obliged to flee from tottering walls, Although they could heor tho groona of victims buried bo neath tho debris. All the members of tho family of the Mayor of Bajardo wero killed. Of anothor family confiating of twenty-two persons named Maestri, only a single membor, half domentod, is left. Half-clothed people ate wandering on tho seashore, oxpo»ed to the inclement weather. At Diano Marino o woman and child wero taken out alive otter being entombod for three days. Groans can still be heard in tho ruins, especially in tho Via Garibaldi. Onoglia ia threatened with a atorm of rain or snow, which will cause fearful dis trses, although clobhing and supplies of all kinds Ore beginning to arrive in ample quantities from Genoa. Tents for refugees ore being erected, nnd voluntoers for search parties are plentiful. The activity of tho Genoese doctora is beyond prnisn A boy who was ontombed for three days waa rescued unhurt in bod. Nobody enters a houso who is able to obtain shelter else where. Only now and well-built houßee aro habitable. Tho Frlnco of Wales. The Prince of Wales, while at Cannes, Btaycd at o hotel some dis'anoo up tho mountoin. When tho earthquake shock was folt, hia attendants implored him to lonve tho houso The Prince replied : " Since tho shocks are ovor and tho botol ia not fnlling, I prefer to remain where I am, in bed,"

Disastrous Colliery Explosion.

An oxploeion of fire-damp occurred in the colliery at Quaregnon, four milea from Move, Belgium, on March sth, shattering the roofa and gallerieß co that many of them fell. One hundrod and forty minora wero entombed, and aro bolievod to be all killed. Fifty dead bodice, all terribly burned, wore brought to tho surface on the 6th. The King has aent £400 to be dis tributed among the families of tho victims. On March Bth somo 59 of tho entombod colliere aucceeded in escaping.

Socialists' Demonstration.

Some throo thousand or moro Socialists attended service at St. Paul's Cathedral, London, on the afternoon of February 2S'h. At tho grand ontianco a blood rod banner was displayed for nearly two hours, with the worda : " Landlords and Capitalists,— 'My bsuse ia a houee of prayer, but ye havo made it a don of thiovea.'" About 3,000 of tho vast crowd, drawn from all parts of London, remained outside tbe Cathedral grouped around Queen Anno'e etatue, with othor red banners on which flamod the inscription?, "Justice nnd liberty, or death ;" "Wo will havo work or bread ; " " Wo pock not for rovengo, but juatico;" "Work for all; overwork for nono." The avowed purpose of tho demon stration was to call public attention to dis tress amonc the unemployed. There waa no violence. The police where everywhere, many of them being stowed away in the crypt of the cathedral, ready for emergen cies.

It li generally conceded that eerioua dis turbances would have followed this demon stration had not Sir Charles Warron, Com missioner of Polico, taken tho precautions ho did. The West End, whoro it was sup posed tho mob would tend, was garriaonod strongly, and streets such as Pall Mall were lined with polico from end to ond.

Corrupt Expenditures

In the Hoiuo of Commona, on March Ist, Geo. Howell (advanced Liberal), member for Bethnal Green, asked the Government to assent to the appointment of a commis sion to inquire into the corrupt expenditurea by tho Corporation of London on bogus meetings, the audiencea st which were hired to be present, for the purpope of defeat ing a bill of reform of tho London Go vernment. Mr Howell eaid he had eeen documents which proved that members of the Corporation had diverted £20,000 of the public moneys in order to de feat the measure before Parliament. Mr Gladstone declared that tho matter was of the greatest importance ; that an inquiry must be granted to prove whether or not the greatest corporation in tho country bad misused ita trust, and adopted illegal methoda to pervert public opinion or control legielative action. VV. H. Smith, Firet Lord of tbe Treasury,with out admitting the truth of the statement, assented to the appointment of a commis sion to inquire.

De Lesseps's Mission to Berlin.

M, de Loeeeps was in Berlin on March oth to offer aasurances of French neutrality in the event of war in Eastern Europe in exchange for Germany's eupprt in the settlement of the Egyptian question in conformity to French aspirations. The Berlin newspapers nsk that De Lessops be given the welcome due a groat Frenchman who has worked, not for Franco alone, but for tho whole human race, a man whose worth and glory Germany can ap predate without glory. It is the general opinion Do Leeseps'a mission will fail, Gor many continuing to sido with England, Do Lesseps was the guest of tho Emperor ; but it ia tbo (jonoral opinion ho will got no monoy in Berlin for hia canal at Panama. Gorman experts juat returned from thoro criticieo the work severely.

A Singular Accident.

Owing to tho destruction of a large build ing on Broadway, N.Y., on March Blh, a blockade occurred on the Third Avenue railroad. The conductor of a train notified his passengers they could leave it aod walk over a narrow plank alongide the track, and so reach the next station, thus getting beyond the blockade. A number availed themselves of the dangerous privilege, and i an awful accident waa the reßult. In some ' manner a panic waß started on the narrow walk far above the street, and j a number of persons were thrown to tho pavement below. It was a terrible sight. Tho victims, all men, lay in a ghastly heap ] . in the middle of the street, some mr.tinnless, ! ' Bonio moaning faintly, und acme f-hrieking wildly in pain and terror. Ten or liftoun had fallen from tho narrow plank- that, is, ten wore found dead. They had fallen headfirst, and all of them had smashed in thoir skulls. Several moro, it is eaid, wore more or less desperately injurotl, somo of whom will die.

IRISH AFFAIRS.

RIOTS AND EVICTIONS.

Tho Dublin Executive has authorised all local magistrates to proclaim every "plan of campaign " meeting, and to demand the assistance of the military and police with out awaiting sanction from head-quarters. A mob at Ballyheigh attacked a force of police on the evening of the 2nd, and rescued some prisoners. The police were not only atoned, but the barracks wero partially wrecked. A number of shots wore fired at the crowd; but no one was hit. Several policemen were injured by stones. , Extensive incendiarism occurred on the night of March 3rd in the country sur rounding the city of Limerick, a large num ber of houses being burned, and the suf ferers in all cases thoso who paid rents. Great oxcitoment prevailed. The aggre gate of property destroyed ia great, and the district was ablaze all night with burn ing houses and hay. The tires were set by armed incendiaries, who all managed to es cape detection. - During a riol- in Galway on March 7th, whilo the troops wero confined.in their bar racks, a mob, numbering 1,000 men, beat and kicKed a dozen eoldiors found btraggliog in the streets, and chased them into the barracks, the windows of which they after wards stoned. The Dublin Municipality proposes to ap paal to the "free people of the world" against. what it calls tho " outrages of the Britiah Government."

BULGARIA.

REVOLT AT RUSTCHCK

During the absence of the garrieon from Rustchuk, on March 3rd, a revolt took placo thore, and communication between Roumania and Bulgaria was atoppsd. Afterward the garrison split into two fac tions. The Government troops attacked the rebels sheltered in the barracks. Many wero killed and wounded. The iusurgents occupied the Kuatcbuk citadel and shelled the Loyalists in the barracks. Major duzeneff, with a battalion of engineers, surrounded tho barracks, arrested all the officers, and proclaimed Metropolitan Clement regent of the Bulgaria-. The in habitants ros'o in arms against the m eurgbnte, and finally the emeute was sup pressed and quiet restored. Mojor Ouseneff was dangorously wounded. Previous to thia affair, tho commander at Silistria seized tlie covernmont of the town, but troops from Rustchuk, Roegad, and Varna suppressed the revolt. With tho exception of killing the com mandor, tho affair waa bloodless. The opinion ia that tho outbreak in Silietria waa merely intended aa a diversion to withdraw tn ops from Rustchuk, which waa tbo real centre of revoP. An insurrectionary movement was alao reported to have taken place near Tartar, Bayardjik. in Eastern Roumelia, a short distance from Phfllipopoli s. Nine officers and civilians concerned in the Rustchuk rovolt were shot at that place on March Gth, and several soldiers on the day following, Kusfiia warned the Bulgarian Regency that they will bo held responsible for injury to the persons or property of Russian sub jects. Berlin dispatches state that the emeute in Bulgaria is regarded in official circlesas the firat step toward Russia* intervontibn in Bulgarian affairs. A RueHian, named Beloof, recently en deavoured to instigato nn insurrection in Sofia hy means of Montenegrin desperadoes; but failed.

Two more of the leaders of the recent in surrection at Rustchuk were sentenced to death on March 12th, and 125 othera Bent to prison. 14 non-commi-sioned officers were shot on the mornine of the lltb, but all the privates concerned in the r.volt have boon pardoned.

SIX HUNDRED LIVES LOST.

THE TOTAL "WRECK OF A BIG

CHINESE JUNK.

A Chinese junk from Hainan to Siam, says the "Saigonnais" of January 13th, was wrecked a few dayß ago on the Soctrang coast, at a place called Mythanh. She ran on a bank more than a mile from land and broke up. Of 600 paaeengers and crew on board six only were saved. The-Adminis trator at Baclieu and a cuatoma junk tried to render aseietance, but tbeir efforts were rendered useless by the state of the sea. It is eaid also that two customs junka are missing, one not having been heard ot for nearly two months, nor the other for a month. Thoy were each manned by a Eurupoan and ten Aunamites.

Tbe loss eustained by tbe French was considerable. Lieutenant Zahner of the Second Zouaves and fifteen Zouaves were killed and two officers were wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Dodds, attacking the position from another' eide, lost one ser geant and four men. Strong re-enforce ir.onts aro being sent forward, and it is probable the position will shortly bo occu pied. " This affair, to which too much im portance must not be attacked," says the Haiphong journal, " nevertheless necessi tates tho formation of a strong column to purge the Day and tbe frontier of Than- Hoa from the pirates and the rebels who occupy them."

After the killing, the bodies were left lying on the street, no one being allowed to remove them until near midnight, vphen they were taken to on undertaker. .None of trie murderers were arrested, and no officer in the county hiia any desii-e to 2t tempt the task.

Newfoundland Defiant.

The publication of the address of the Newfoundland Legislature to the linperial Government, in relation to the fisheries has produced a sensation. No such defiant docurhent has been received by the Home Government since the revolt ■of the American Colonies. The Newfound landers tell the Imperial Government that they own their own fisheries, and they do not propose? to pay tbe slightest heed to F.ehch or American iritereste, br to brook any intiiferenca from Great Britain. New foundland, in fact; atands on ita own light to make ita own laws, control its own pro perty and preserve ita existence aa a com munity, lot the effect be what it may.' The situation is so eeriouPj saya a despatch of March 2nd, tbat both Premier Sherburn and Sir.'AmbroseShea,.leaderof the Opposl tion, havo left the Legislature to take care of itaelf and gone to London to represent the dangerous chdracter of ihe prevailing feeling in the ielahd.
