ELEVEN HUNDRED BUILDINGE DESTROYED.

The Japan Chronicle of 17th inst. says:~~Tha earthquake on Saturday afternoon, which had its cantro a little aorth of Lake Biwa, resulted in a serious loss of life and great destruction of property. The centre of the disturbance op. pears to have been not far removed from that of the great earthquake in 1891, and it is worthy of note that the vibration registered in Kobe last Saturday was greater tháo that recorded in Olika in 1891, when so much damage was caused in the neighbouring city. Fortunately, although the vibration was greater, the shocks list Saturday were fear acute, otherwise we thight have had to record a similar disaster to That which, took place on the: 38th October, 1894, when close on 10,000 people were killed nad double that number injured in Aichi, Gifu,, Fukai; and Shiga prefectures, 78 deaths oc curring in Osaka ft. As it is, on this occasion some 40 llyns have been lust, 168 persons have been injured, and 1,100 buildings have been totally destroyed.

In Kobe, as already stated in our last isso, the shocks caused considerable alarm, and at Arima great anxiety, was felt a to the extent of the disaster, especially amongst the many foreigners, spending their bolidays in the mountains. It was even felt at sea, the shock being so noticeable on one of the dinghies ciulsing in the bay that for the moment it was feared the boat had gone over a sandbank. The shock was also clearly perceptible on the 146 ships in the harbour.
