TERRIFIC EARTHQUAKE AT JAVA. The Java papers of the L4th June give full particulars of the dreadful earthquake which oceurred in the island on the morning of the 10th of June. It was very destructive in the districts of Cheribon, Pekalongan, Banjoemas, Bazelen, Samarang, Djokjdokarta, and Soura- karta. The greater part of the indigo and sugar manufactories, private houses, and mili- jtary establishments are destroyed at Djukjdo, | but in the other districts the damaze was not su extensive. The losses, however, are incal- culable. The suzar crop, which had just been brought into the baras, is totally lost. A large number of Kuropeans aud natives perished—the report says as many as three hundred. It was feared also that other parts of Java might be visited with earthquakes ; even at Batavia shocks were felt on the day the mail started. ‘The accounts of the rinderpest in Java ave most distressing.
