CT myself one of the fortunate in making my escape from the falling, but now pros- trate ruins. Conception, city containing 25,000 inhabitants, Is one heap of ruins 1; being built principally of brick, there is not even one habitable dwelling left standing within the limits of the city, and for leagues around. The shock came from s. k. course, prostrating every thing in its way.- A number of small towns have been heard from in it's course Chillian, Talea, Are dan, Congas, Erras, Peural St. Carlos, Naljoga, and Angles, being all overthrown. Talcahuana, the port of Conception is com pletely demolished. It was not only shak- en down, but the fragments of houses, sto- fies, &c. were afterwards swept away by the sea, which retired about Is minutes after the first shock, leaving the shipping then lying at anchor in the harbor entirely dry. tcame in rising to height of twen- five feet above the level, overwhelming the whole place. Men, women and children fled to the mountains, but many were over taken and swept to the ocean by the return ing waves, which completed the destruction of the town, dePriving hundreds of fami- lies of second garment, many of good circumstances, but are now destitute.- Furniture of all kinds was swept with the houses, not even leaving vestige to con firm the owner of the situation of his for mer habitation; and 1t would require an eye witness to be convinced of the im- mense devastation 1t has caused.n
