EARTHQUAKE.--A violent earthquake was
experienced at Port AL Prince, at two O'Clock on
the morning of,the 18th Nov. 1t was preceded
by n rumbling noise from the South East, and
continued or 5 seconds. The shock was, ac-
cording to the representations Of some of the old
est inhabitants, more violent than that Of 1870,
which nearly destroyed the whole city. Fortu-
nately there was no material injury sustained.
The editor of the Feuic du Commerce records
as q remarkable circumstance, that the earth
quake of l770, which took place on the Sd June,
the day Of Pentecost, at O'Clock in the evening,
was experienced in all the lceward islands on the
same day and at the same hour. Inthe year 1924
on the same day at noon, another shock was felt,
and the one above noticed is the third one that
has occurred during the present.
