Last Sunday evening an earthquake was felt in this city, by which some chimneys were thrown down, but no other damage was done: The shock was most felt at the opera and play house, where the performers and actors let fall the curtains, and the company run out. We have advice from Friuli, that the earthquake was more violent there than in other parts, having thrown down several churches and houses. |
