THE EARTHQUAKE IN SAN FRANCISCO•

Full accounts have now come to hand of the
earthquake at San Francisco on the 21st October.
Thirty casualities are reported, of which five were
deaths, and others may prove fatal. The damaged
buildings were inspected on the 22d by the Board
of Supervisors. The City Hall is cracked from the
ground floor upwards, and most of the arches de-
stroyed. The Custom House, which stands oti re-
claimed ground, had its upper storey shaken down,
the Post-office is in the lower storey, and the clerks
have resumed their work there. The Old Mer-
chants' Exchange, on Battery-street, opposite. the
Custom House, and which for some years past has
been occupied by the United States Courts, was
considerably injured. There is a large fissure in
the north wall of the building. The Custom House
and the Old Merchants' Exchange are on made
ground, beyond the original water front of the city,
and their foundations rest on piles. The old Ex-
change was severely shattered by the earthquake of
1865. The new Merchants' Exchange, on Cali-
fornia-street, is slightly injured. The ornamental
work on the building occupied by the Bank of Cali-
fornia, was thrown down. The balustrade and the
chimneys are being removed. Although 100 build-
ings in the city have been damaged, a thorough ex-
amination proves that those buildings which have
been properly constructed will stand much heavier
shocks than those of yesterday. The Occidental
and the Cosmopolitan Hotels, the Lick House
and the Russ House (the largest buildings in
the city) are uninjured, except that in some in-
stances the chimneys were thrown down and the
plastering was cracked. These buildings are all on
solid ground. The damage west of Montgomery-
street is very slight, very few buildings standing on
solid ground sustaining any damage whatever. 'lO-
- examinations only confirm yesterday's report
that the greatest wreck of buildings and destruc-
tion of property was confined to the eastern and
southern portions of the city, where the buildings
are erected ou made ground. Business was resumed
as usual to-day.
At midnight or early on the morning of the 23d
another severe shock occurred, and the people fled
in terror from their houses thronging the streets in
their night clothes. A very slight shock occurred
at 7.30. 'These shocks had done no additional
damage—excitement had subsided, and business Was
progressing as usual. The atmosphere was thick,
warm, and sultry, with drizzling rain. We learn
by the Russia that several slight shocks oc-
curred on the 25th ultimo. An American news-
paper gives the following report from Peshawar,
August 20th, announcing that at seven o'clock
in the morning of
.that day the town was visited by
an earthquake. The shocks were at first gentle,
but afterwards very violent. One bastion of the
Bala-Hissar and one gateway were shaken down•
The sentries and native attendants raised a great
cry. Three of them were buried beneath the wall,
but were yet alive. In the city, towers and walls,
especially old structures, fell in numerous instances,
but no lives were lost. This is another illustra-

tion of the alleged internal communication between
South America and India, the earthquake of Augueb
13th in Peru having transmitted its shocks through
the centre, and not over the crust of the earth.
A despatch from Washington dated October
23, states that Commodore Alden informed the
Navy Department that the Mare Island Navy Yard
sustained no damage by the earthquake.

A " Woman's Suffrage Convention" is to be held
in Boston during November.
EXCITING SPORT ON THE PRAlRlES.—Buffaloes
abound in the vicinity of Fort Hayes, the terminus at Pre-
sent of the Union Pacific Railroad in Kansas. A train
recently went through a drove, and a bull is said to have
been killed by a young lady with a rifle. General Sheri -
dan thinks that he saw, in a passage of 90 miles, buffaloes
to the number of 300,000. By an advertisement in an°"
ther column it will be seen that the National Land Cow
piny, Astor House, No. 2, is prepared to send parties to
the hunting grounds at low rates.—Spirit of the Tines.
