THE EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFOILNTIA.

GREAT DERTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.

Through the Central Press we have the follow-
ing particulars :

BAN FRANCISCO, Ocr, 21, Emma.

The city of San Francisco was visited this d►.y
with a very severe shock of earthquake, which
was felt throughout the whole of California and
Few ral of the neighbouring states. The town in
many parts is a complete heap of ruins, houses,
stores, churches, and other bulling,' being
rand. The lower part of the city has
experienced the greatest amount of damage.
The fissures left in the ground in many place.' are
from seven to eight feet in width. The effect
on the water in the bay was very striking, but u
yet no word has been received relative to any
damage to shipping. The loss of life is thought to
be inconsiderable; but of course no correct idea
can be formed as yet of the number of persons
who aro missing. The damage to property is esti-
mated at over a million dollars.

A memorandum from Messrs. Campbell, lit:alley,
and Co., gives the following particulars:

We rclxived this afternoon the following cable message
from our San Francine firm, Means Dickson de Wolf and
Co., dated 21st inst. :—" Earthquake this morning.
Damage severe lower part of the town." For the satis-
faction of parties connected with California, we may state
that business did not appear to be interrupted, as our
friends advise they were progreeing with the loading of
'hips, one of which was to sail this day.

A NEW MEDDLE-CLASS SCHOOL IN STAFFORD-
Brniciiivan-lloye, M.P., ors TEE Covers
OF Esointso.—The foundation steno of St. Chad's Col-
lege, Denitone, North Staffordahire, was laid yesterday
by Um Rev. Canon Lonsdale, in the unavoidable absence,
through illness, of the Marquis of Salisbury. This is to be
one of those great middle-class schools of which several
have already been founded by the Rev. N. Woodard, in
Rumex, and with which the new school at Denstone will
be affiliated. The ceremony, which was of a simple cha-
racter, was attended by a large number of the clergy and
leading families of the district, and subsequently about
6410 ladies and genslemen sat down to luncheon in •
marquee erected on the site, under the presidency
of Mr. Woodard. Amongst the toasts; drunk was
that of " the Trustees,' to which Mr. Hub-
bard, M.P., responded. The hon. gentleman took oc-
casion to remark that it was a delusion to suppose that a
religious education could be given apart from denornina-
Remain:it. Eduiation, to be effective, mud be conducted
by sincere and earliest men, and he had the fullest call-
deism that the scluiols foundedelieMr. Woodard would h.
conducted honestly and fearl in accordance with the
doctrines, the formularies, and articles of the church
of England. "The Health of Mr. Woodard" was pro-
posed by the Earl of lthrewsbury and Talbot, who said
that since he had ceased to be amenable to a constituency
he had felt a singular sense of freedom, and be begged to
assure all present that he had the fullest confidence to the
sound eh unlimanshipot thepromoters of these great *dumb.
Mr. Beredord Hope, gave "The Load essismittee"
in • characteristic speech, in the course of which he said

three schools were-the havt abused institutions in Eng-
l.-Ind, and if they wore not alreadyru manna
in the land
—if Mr. Woodall d was not doing a work by of
thew—people would not be so read y to abuse them and
tell all meta of lies itnpoctiog them; lout he had no
doubt the future, records of the tuitional history would say
that lir. Woodard bad dolor • groat and a good work in
the true spirit of the church of hdiglaad. if aver Mut
church of England were disertablished and dissadovred,
he bad the thin conviction that Mr. Woodmrd's schools

A little consideration of this tablewill show th
the velocity alone affords an important indication
of the depth of the ocean traversed by a wave ;
because in many instances the change due to dw
breadth of the wave is slight. Thus, when the
depth of a sea is 1,000 feet, waves of 100,000, of
1,000,000, and of 10,000,000 feet in breadth all
travel at the rate of a fraction over 122 miles per
hour.

An earthquake which occurred in the year 1831
supplied an opportunity of applying Mr. Airy's
formula. A shock of earthquake had been felt on
board the Russian frigate Diana at 9.43 a.m. on
the 23rd of December in that year. She lay at
anchor in the harbour of Simoda, near Jeddo.
At 10 o'clock a large wave was seen rolling
into the harbour, while the water on the beach
was rapidly sinking. "As seen from the
frigate," says the narrative, " the town
appeared to be sinking." Fifteen minutes later
another wave rolled in, and until 2.30 p.m. similar
waves continued to come and go, the frigate being
thrown on her beam-ends no less than tire times.
A few hours afterwards several distinctly marked
waves, of extraordinary volume, arrived at Hun
Francisco. No doubt can exist that these waves
and those which destroyed Simoda had the sum.,
origin. In all probability the seat of disturbance
lay very near the shores of Japan. Now, it was
calculated by Captain Maury that the San Fran-
cisco wave had a breadth of 236 milta and a
velocity of 438 miles per hour; and that the San
Diego wave bad a breaulth of 221 miles and a
velocity of 427 miles per hour. It would follow
from these premises that, tiecurding to Airy's
ft-I.mila., the average depth of the North Pacific
between Japan and California is, by the path of
the San Francisco wave, 2,119 fathoms, by that
of the San Diego wave 2,034 fathoms. Either
result indicates an average depth of about two-
and-a-half miles. _

The rate at which the great waves of disturbance
produced by the earthquake of Peru traversed the
portion of the Pacific Ocean which lies between
South America and the island of Hawaii, would
indicate that the ocean is here much deeper than
it is farther north. A similar result follows from
the evidence we have respecting the rapid passageof the great wave produced by the submarine
eruption of April 20th, from Hawaii to the shores
of Mexico and Oregon. In that ease a distance of
5,000 miles was traversed in little more than flvo
hours. Probably the average depth of the part
of the Pacific which lies between Polynesia and
South America is little less than four or five

TRE
AMERICAN MINISTER IN LIVERPOOL

Yesterday the lion. Reverdy Johnson, the Ame-
rican ambassador to this ocnintry, was publicly n.,;3ive 1 at
the Town-hall, Liverpool, whore addresses were pruieuted
from the mayor and oorporation of the town, :Luil fro
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. Upon Mr. John-
son'a arrival at the Town-hall the American 11 wai
hoisted over the building, and he way conducted the
cast drawing-room, where the member+ of the oorp,r4tion
were assembled, together with the deputation fro.n the
Chamber of Commerce. The room was decnratal with
flags, the American ensign being interwoven with the
flags of all nations.

To the address from the Chamber of Commerce,
Mr. Wierinso read the following prepared reply of
Mr. Johnson :—" Mr. President and gentaemen of the
Chamber of Commerce, accept my thanks for your wel-
come to the city of Liverpool, and for the kind terms in
which you refer to me personally, and especially for the
friendly feeling which you entertain for the people
of the United States. That this latter feeling
should be indulged in, now that the unity of
my government is eetabliahed beyond the hazard of fur-
ther interruption, is not to be wondered at. The com-
mercial relations between your city and the United States
are so e•tensive and so important to both countries, that
the people of each cannot fail to see that it is to their in-
terest to prevent the occurrence of any misunderstanding
which may disturb them. I cannot, therefore, doubt that
the peace which now so happily exists will be continued,
and by every legitimate means rendered firmer. By what
policy the commercial relations now so extensive can be
further developed is • subject which Ido not feel at
liberty to discuss. The question of free trade is one upon
which for a century the statesmen and politiml economists
of your country and of other nations differed ; and for a
long perkel it was supposed that the system would be in-
jurious to the interests of England. This opinion is not
now entertained ; and, to a great extent, your government
has acted on the opposite theory. I am glad to hear
that this change has operated to your advantage,
for in doing so it must have contributed also to the ad-
vantage of my own country ; as everything which serves to
increase the prosperity of England serves also to promote
the prosperity of the United States. Whether free trade is
suited to the condition of a young nation in whi..h
labour, machinery, and wealth are not so shield:est as in
an old nuti ~,,' must be decided by itself; and as in the
Crated fitates the subject belongs exclusively to :the
juriedistion of the legislative department, I hope that,
upon reflection, you will ace that it would be improper
for me, holding the oftiesi 1 now do, under the
authority of the executive, to express an opinion. I
heartily concur with you, however, in thinking that in
pros cation ai commerce is extended, and the interests of
mittens theteby become noire united, there is greater
Pr. rarity that peace between them will be preserved ; and
I need hat illy add that whatever I may be able to do to
promote that end T shall esteem to he au almost sacred
duly. 1 again thank you, Mr. President and gentlemen."
At the ineelusion of these proceeding, Mr. Johnson was
Wei tained to luncheon by the Mayor, in the large ban-
quitting hall of the Town-hall, the member, of the
corporation and the deputation from the Chamber of
Commerce being lucerne (July one toast, "The Health
of Mr. Johnson,' was given, and Mr. Johnson responded.
en leaving the Town-hall, Mr. Johnson, woominnied
by the Mayor, paid a visit to the Exchange News-rum,
where lie received a most cntlitteialtic reception ; in fact,
nothing more epoetanesme, hearty, and vociferous in the
style of his reception, was ever witnessed upon the Liv..es
reel Exchange. Him excellency was evidently both sur-
prised and ph weel at the rare warneh of his reception,
and after acknowledging, by bowing, the applause of the
vast crowd, he finally ascended into one of the galleries,
where be made his fourth speech, which, like his pre-
ceding ones, was most eloquent and effective.
During his stay in Liverpool Mr. Johnson is the guest
of Mr. A. H. Brown, of Richmond-hill, and one of the
firm of Brown, Shipley, and Co.
To-day, at the invitation of the Mersey Docks and Hai
hour Board, Mr. Johnson will mail on the river.

In the evening a banquet was given to Mr. Jidinenn by
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, in the rooms of the
Law Association. Mr. S. H. Brown, of the a,.noviti•m,
was in the c.hair, and amongst the guests, in addition to
the Uou. R. Johnson, were Lord Stanley. M.P., Mr. W. E.
Gladstone, M.P., the Biehop of Chester, Mr. J. Laird,
M.P., Mr. J. B. foretell, M.P., Mr. S. R. Gravel. M.P.,
Mr. C. Turner, M.P.. the Mayor of Liverpool, Admit il
Evens, General Sir John Garvock, Admiral Kerr, Captain
Turnout, R.N., Archdeacon Jones, Mr. IL Wading
(United States Vice-Consul), Ac.
The health of the Queen was drunk, and was folk-moil
by the health of the Priablent of the) United Slates, and
the customary loyal and patriotic toasts.
The Clisrustsw then gave the health of the Ron. R.
Johnson, the Minister of the Coiled States. The ticivt
was received with much cheering, and was drunk with
great enthusiasm.

The Hon. RLTEIDY Josusds, in responding to the
toast, raid—Mr. President, my Lords and tdentlemln. -I
Lave no words with which to acknowledge as I should
desire this cordial, warm, and, I may add, enthusiastic re-
ception. I have met with it however wherever I hive b, mt
in England, but at tome of the place. that I have
visited, and by &moot the persons that I have seen in so sal
life, I was told that this city would prove to be an excels.
fion. The causes which Induired that suspicion you will
readily understand. It had no influence, however, upuu
me. 1 knew, or I thought that I knew, that there
wisdom and good sense and patriotism in the people of
Liverpool that would induce them to forget the resat past.
and lock at the present and the future with coldidenee
(Cheers.) I was cautioned, whether by friends mealy
or not it is nut for me to say, that I should nut
be present nix= an occasion like this, becamse there
would be at It certain gentlemen who, by word, by
speech, or by act; aided or encouraged my Soutla,•:n
brethren during our late unhappy conflict. My
answer was that if it should be so, so much
the more gratifying would it be to me—(cheers)—because
it would afford au assurance to the people of my eau utry,
and to my government, as well as to myself, that former
differences are forgotten, and that the heart that beats in
Liverpool is like the heart that beats throughout the king-
dom— a heart full of friendship foe the people of the
United States. (Cheers.) When 1 remembered, gentlemen,
the war through which our government has paired, and so
far as its integrity is concerned, has passed unharmed,
I was satisfied that the mesa of Liverpool, as well as
elsewhere, would say that the union under which we have
so long flourished now stands upon a foundation forn
which it never out be removed. (Cheers.) And seeing
that however some others may have differed from the
rants or probable results of that conflict, I knew, or
thought I knew, and now I fonvid that I did know, that
here I should find friends as warm and as shyere as could
be found anywhere within the realms of her Majesty. Yen
have seen, gentlemen, and I would have seen, that what-
ever others may have done or undertaken to
do, our fathers made the nation, and that their posterity
have showed a determination and an ability to. maintain

it, and, as I believe, so long as Providence shall suffer
human society to endure, they will maintain it. Gentle-
men, to leave such a topes it 111 not to pros on
an assembly as intelligent av this, to assume
now as true beyond all doubt that the government
of the United States is to remain through-
out all time. Let me proceed to another topic.
It is to congratulate you, Mr. PreAdent and the members
of your ebiunber, upon the work which you have boon
the instouncuta of performing, organised, a'. 1 under-
stand, in 1801. Now -87 years since, you found Liverpool
with • population of 77,000, your number of vesitehi some
6,000. Now your population is at lost, I undenitaud,
half a million, and your reads near twouty odd thou-
sand. Then they traded comparatively to a few ports;
now the runt almost every past of the habitable globe.
Now your deg, protested by the power of
which, thank ,fflud, never ba tailed ur, passes
ed on every pea, tendon wealth and comfort
and happiness to every part of rho world; and now your
trade with the United States, instead of being what it
was in INN, is more than two-lifths of all the traiki winch
you now have with the met of the world—(hear, how)—
now, in 1867, the importation of wheat sad dour into
Liverpool was 41 per cent. of all the importations of that
kind ; now. in 1867, the importation of oorn and other
gitulia beside wheat is snore than .16 pee cent of every do-
reriptiou of that littuiliffain that issuer isitoyour ports ;
now we ail, 'and are to aid point, hy aid-mg ki your

pat because now food is much cheaper than it was in the
last ; and now, lemon, of the elan) emniesion between
your laud and my own, it is impossible that any
but absolute insanity upon the part of
the menihiers of either of the governments can
Involve us in any serious ouilliot. (Load theme.)

Whether that time be short or long it is for the people of
England to decide. (Hear, hear.) But whether it be
the one or the other, I am satisfied there will be no peril
to the preservation of the peace hetween Ildh countries.
I have alluded to the present government, gentlemen, for
the purpose of saying what I hope my honourable
friend next to me on the left (Lord *Stanley) will
pardon me for saying, that so long at ho repruseuts the
foreign relations of his country, and I, or any other man
feeling as I do, shall represent the foreign relations of my
own government in this kingdom, the preervation of
peace between the two is placed beyond the p setae iity of
doubt. (Tremendous cheers.) We have the ewe aside-
indeed we never felt it-we have thrum' aside all terms
ries of diplomatic intercourse. We have teem frank to
say what each wanted; and we shall be to the end frank,
and free to ask from the other what is thought to be
right, and to expect to receive from on or the other
what he might think to be wrong ; and I
trust my hon. friend will not think that Igo beyond
the proprieties of diplomatic life in sidling., that so far as
we have gone all has gone on merrily -(choers) -anil that
it gives to us both an assurance. that as far as may ho ne-
cessary) for us to go still all will go merrily. (Renewed
cheers.
The Right Hon. Lord fie.creety, who was receive] with
loud cheers on rising, responded to the toast of "Her Ma-
jcaty's Ministers." In the course of his speech he mid—
We have of late years constantly had rumours of Euro-
pean wars; I certainly will not take upon myself that
these rumours have not been without some justification,
considering the state of the continent ; but I will say this,
that even since I had practically to do with the Foreign-
office, I think there has been a tendency-I do not say in
England. because it has extended equally over Europe-
but I think there has been, a tendency to examine
the danger of the mituatiffie, and to take, not the
most favourable, but the darkest and meet
gloomy view of the CifINIIDIALIIOIIII which have mime.
ow I think that may fairly be said, and for this reason,
not merely because it is unpleasant, for we know that
many things may be unpleasant which at the same time
ere very useful, but because exaggerated anticipation of
any supposed dangers are very apt to bring about the
very MIS which are apprehended; and of course I do not
undertake to ray that we have bad the same fact before
us, that the future is absolutely without cause for uneasi-
ness or for anxiety, but I do say this, having
some means of knowing what I am speaking
about, that I do not believe in any cabinet of
Europe there is any statesman who looks at the prospect
of a general war with any feelings except those of aver-
eion and apprehension. (Hear, hear.) There may be
men who look upou such a result as inevitable, or et any
rate as probable; but without being too sanguine, there is
every reason to hope that that which everybody dame-
rates and desires not to happen will not happen.
(Cheers.) 11 all, gentlemen, you may perhaps think I
have raid (nutlet., and some of you may think I have
said too much upon European affairs, and you may
ask use why I do nut tell you something
about America. I think Mr. Beverly Johnson
Las taken that out of my bunk (Jur e teemed and
its eeted gets t. Mr. Johnson, who has, it seems to me
ou a hasty computation, suede a good many more personal
friends in Eneland than he has pliesel days in this
country, and with whcm-I may say it to Isis face —it is a
pleasure to tic. lousiness, has told you pretty clearly and
pretty minutely what is the state of 1. latioel between
the two countries. He his stated I believe in
more than one place, and with perfect accuracy,
that two at least of the impending quo none between the
two countries have been, I will not ,ay absolutely and
finally deposed of, tecause that was not under the cir-
cumstances possible, but they have been so far dealt
with by mutual agreement, that if the United States
goven went shall ratify the acts of their repeasieutative-
of whelk I believe there is no reasonable doubt-there is
really no difficulty in the way of effecting a
satisfactory settlement. (Loud cheers.) With regard
to the last, and no doubt the gravest question-that of
claims arising out of the late war-I am not in a position
to say anything more than this, that we have on both
sides approached the subject with an earnest desire to find
a satisfactory solution, and that I think there is on both
sides, I won't say a confident expectation, but a very de-
cided hope, that solution may not be far off. (Cheers.)
Now, I am not going to make you a speech such as you
have often heard before, and such as if you have not,
you will perhaps often hear again, as to the nature
of the relations which exist between England and Ame-
rica. I won't say anything about our common language
or common literature, and our common origin, because
although there things are perfectly true, and though we
hel them to be true, and although they may not have the
absolute charm of novelty, this is a time when we may
perhaps take them for granted. I for one take this for
granted, that as civilised men on both aides of the Atlantic
it is our duty to be friends; as kinsmen, it is the
wish of an enormous majority of us to be friends,
and as a commercial country, carrying on already
a gigantic business. and wishing to make that buspess a
geed deal bigger before we have done, it is very decidedly
our interest to be friendly. (('heery.) Now that is
rather a strong combination of motives, and where you
have got men with feelings and pecuniary inters ds all
pulling the enure way, I think it will take a very strong
disturbing intlerince er adverse force to over-
come this inducement to remain on good terms.
As for me If. I do not think that we ought to dopy-it
is always, Letts rto look facts in the face-that after the
close et the :ate civil war in the United States theredid
exist a eery eoneidei able feeling of irritative against this
country. M hether it was reasonable or unreaeonab`c it is
riot my biisiueee here to discuss, but I think I can affirm
with some Ctltliintr two things : namely, first, that that
is cling, whatever the amount of it may have been
was reciprorated on this side of the water, and next,
that it is monthly, and I may say almost we.skly and
d*raiuishing in that country. (" Hear, hear,- and
(sheen.) I never like to loOk forward too confid *Hy to
the future, let if it should happen that in the n -it few
weeks the American minister and I should have :in op-

ample compenratien for all the delay, for all the responsi-
bility. and for all the anxiety which is attached to that
conspicuous brit not always enviable position of the
Foreign Secretary. (The right hun. gentleman repined
his seat amidst loctl cheers.)
Mr. Or..enieroxic responded to the toast of the Heise of
Commons, and was loudly cheered.
