THE News From JAPAN.-The following
is the late news from Japan, as reported at
San Francisco by Capt. Moorhouse, of the
schooner Page, from Simoda:
On the llth of November, nt 10 o'clock
p. NJ, violent earthquake occurred at jed
do, which destroyed one hundred thousand
dwellings, fifty.iour temples, and thirty
thousand inhabitants. Fire broke out Mt the
same time in thirty different parts Of the citv.
The earth opened and closed over thousands
OF buildings with their occupants. The
shock was severe nj Simoda. Although the
distance from Jeddo TO Simoda is but sixty
miles, il appears that no official account of
the earthquake had been received ut the latter
place at the time of the sailing of the schoon.
er Page, December 10. The news was OBJ.
tained through the Dutch interpreter. The
japanese seemed to attach but little impor-
tance to the catastrophe. The inhabitants
of the portion of the city destroyed were
forrwarned of the disaster, and many Of them
escaped. Vhe buildings of Jeddo are chiefly
of one story and constructed Of very light
material. The temples OF worship, however.
are lofty, and in some instances are construc
ted of heavy masonry.
The Japanese treaty with the French is
not yet concluded.

A FAST PEopLE.-An earthquake occurred
at Jeddo, in Japan, on the llth of Novcm-
Der, and fifty four temples, 100000 houses,
and 10000 inhabitants were destroyed. On
the 10th Of December no official account OF
the destruction had been received ut Simoda,
only sixty miles distant, though some tidings
had been obtained through the Dutch inter.
pretcr; and it is stated, navely enough, that
the Japanese seemed to attach bnt little i'm
portance to the catastrophe. This is one OF
the best Illustrations of the philosophy with
which we bea- other peoples misiortun
that we remember to have read. The prob
ability is that among that remarkable race
such bewildering fcats of legerdemain and
ocular deception are habtualIy performed
for amusement that the survivors of the
earthquake are expecting still 10 see the dead
restored to lig hit and the buildings reinstated
to their late integrity. Perhaps they belong
to the school of true believers, of which
there was a noble disciple in the person OF
tho sailor, who, when the conjuror by mis-.
take blew himself and his apparatus some
twenty feet into the air, exclaimed, in conf
ding reliance, "WIat the ID will he do
next!"

say that there is not oppugnation in parts of
