old Asiatic city was shaken to its foundations, : and within it few seconds nearly 300 of the 7 inhabitants were buried beneath the ruins of n . iart of the town. The shock appears to have 3

nstcd three-quarters of It minute. The l oscillations came from the south-east, and were‘. of that quick, jerking nature, which ciiiises such destruction. The city is only surrounded ‘ by at wall, which dates from he time when the early Ottoman Sultans held their Court there, before Adi-iunoplo had been raised to an cquiility with the old capital. This wall appears to have been for from solid, und unfortuniitcl at large number of the poorer population ind fixed their houses against it for the purposes 0 sup ort and shelter. The wall swayed to an fro or soiuo seconds, as if shaken by the wind; at first only a few stones fell from the top or were dislo wed wherever the old iiiortiir had

ccayed ttlltf fallen out; but at the last great vibration, which preceded the cessation of the shock, a. great pnrtof the circuit fell llttt, iilmost in amass, and several score of houses ivcro at once crushed, with their unfortunate iniuatcs. There was scarcely an edifice in the town,wliicli was not more or less injured, but the houses of the wealthier inhabitants suffered comp:i.rntive~ ly little, and the loss of life has been almost entirely confined to the bumbler class. " o mosques, as usual, have suffered greatly, and there is said to be hardly a minaret standing in the whole city. Out of 125 mosques, there is hardly one left untouched. One pzirticularly, more than five centuries old, and the pride of the inlmbititnts, has been levelled to the ground. In a silk factory of the neighbourlioodn fearful calamity occurred; the whole building fell flat, and 60 women. who were at work, were buried in the ruins. It is believed, that they all perished.—Times.

RUSSIAN OPERATIONS IN POLAND.

Winssw. March 20.—-From the prepzirutions for war going on in Poland, and the marching and counter-marching of troops in all possible directions, it certainly does not appear, as if the Russian Government was really in earnest about making peace, or disposed to accept the four oints according to the interpretation of then lies. It was at first diiiicult, not to say impossible, to understand the object of these mi itary movements, but the mystery is now cleared up and the result apparent. All the regiments which were dislocated from the great control point, Radom to Lubin and Climate- chau, are now on their march to join the army of the south; whilst, on the other hand, the troops in cantonmcnts in Lithuania, at Kow- now, and Augustowow, and even the cavalry regiments which were pushed forward as far as Plock, have received orders to march to the Baltic rovinces, where an army of 150,000 men wi I be immediately concentrated.

,To prevent Poland from being left without troops, our fortresses and other important posts will be gnrrisonod by Asiatic hordes, now on their march from the Altai provinces. Some of those have already made their appearance in the neighbourhood of Kolo. They call them Bnshkirs; but the construction and form of their countenance ‘plainly denote that they do not belong to the It ongolian race, but riitlier to that of the Caucasus. Besides, they _nro not armed with bows and arrows, but with very long muskets like the Arneuts. They wear a long dressing wn sort of robe of red cloth,

lined and trimmed with black sheeppkin, and high ‘pyramid-shaped Persian caps, t is has of

A SIIIRMISH.

K.i.ini:scn, March 16.-Some days ago we heard it cnnnonridc and ii. fusilnde, which made us believe, that it serious afliiir had taken place near .'\‘.:ihikliotl'. On inquiry,-I was told that the llnssiiins had laid ninbuscades within 200 yards of our lines, und that they had been beaten out of them in an instant b our men. They, however. returned shortly ii terwards ill greater force, and we were obliged to abandon the position. The next looming, however, we ngniniittncked and carried it, on are now masters ofit. We had l2 killed and 25 wound- ed. The Russians suffered a greater loss. The weather continues fine, but the mornings are rather cold.

The necessity of having (I. staffcorps, mecha- nice in vnrioiis trodes und branches, having been felt during the winter campaign in the Crimea, it is intended to or anize a cor similar to that which was foun to be of such service during the Peninsular War, and which was only reduced in 1824.
