Up to this hour the foregoing is the most complete despatch regarding the Kingston disaster, that has heen received.

St. Thomas, B.W.I. Jan. 16.--Re- ports which have reached here from Holland Bay indicate that the first shock that visited the city of King- ston, came in the middle of the after naon,. after an exceptionally sultry day and a higher tide than usual. There was no warning to the inhahit- ants. The preliminary. shock was the worst, and was followed quickly hy others. It appears that the principal thock was 'of seven or eight minutes duration. The conditions which fol lowed must have heen similar to those in San Francisco and Valparaico Buildings fell and the ruins caught fir and burned.

Sketch Of Kingston. Kingston is the capital of the island of Jamaica, and 60,000. 1t is situated on slope of a brah of the ¢ houses, mostly of two ar se h storeys, are solidly constructed of brick and wood, and painted green and white. The houses in the centre of the city form blocks or squares, and in the principal streets are furnished with verandahs below and covered galleries above, while those in the out- skirts are detached and surrounded by gardens, The public institutions are' the museum, library, colonial of- fices, schools, churches, alms-house, penitentiary, asylum, and Victoria market lhe bay or roadstead has a mean depth of six fathoms and affords good mooring ground for one thousand ves- sels of any size. The environs are cov- ered with fine sugar plantations, in- terspersed with picturesque villas, The region _to the west is extremely marshy, and to the east rises Long Mountain. The climate is hot and gen- rally unhealthy for Canadians, Am- ericans or Europeans. Alternate land and sea breezes, however, temper in the morning and evening in a measure the almost suffocating atmosphere, The chiei exports of coffee, sugar, tobacco, dyewood, and its highly-esteemed rum. The imports mainly eonsist of manufactured goods, flour, wine, ale and salted meat. Kingstén was founded in 1693, after the destruction by earthquake of Port Royal: it was made a bishopric in 1856. In February, 1872, the town was almost completely destroyed by fire; and another disastrous fire which commenced on March 20th, 1862, and in which a few persons perished, de- stroyed property to the value of $I, 250,000. Yellow fever has at times commit- ted fearful ravages in the city; and about ome-eighth of the population was carried off by cholera in 15850. Four miles away' is the important naval station of Port Royal, head- quarters for the British West India forces--lately practically abendoned-- a strongly fortified place. Spanish town, population 5,019, at ome time the capifal, is situated fifteen miles west of Kingston.

Members of the Kingston Horticul- tural Sogiety take objection to some of the stipulations in the new agri. cultural and arts act. there appears to be strong i ton to the clause respecting horti- cultural societies, which states that "a society shall not: expend more than one-third of its total receipts in any one line of work." The act out- lines seven ways in which the society can expend. the money, and these ine clude the following : Holding exhibits and awardi premiums; holdi meetings and leptuves- on rticatan] subjects; distribution of seeds and bulbs; by moting the circulation of Bortoutany periodicals; by en- couraging $he improvement of home rounds, | ting: trees, ete; by of sing Lov ow for essays on horticul- tural subjegts; impor and oth- erwise sme porting a plants of Sow Kinds, y The stipulation regardi the ex peuditure of the money, in that not mare than one-third be given to any one. line of work, is looked upon in a yery serious aspect, and it is feared that it will prove disastrous to the, society, and cause it to go out of. existence. | The Kingston associntion has always expensed a good deal of money on prizes, looking upen this as the best means of furtheri the in: terests of the association. The mat- ter of supplying the members with periodicals, would not, so it is thought, be of any great assistance, and would mean an expenditure of 872, The members are strongly op- posed to having any restriction plac. ed on the amount that should be ex: pended on prizes. The new act will come up for dis- cussion at the annual meeting of the association, to be held this evening. At this meeting the Seoretary-treasur- er will submit a report which will show all accounts paid, with a small balance still on hand, STREETS UNSAFE to Tottering State of Building, London, Jen. 16.-The streets of i today, wh nants Owing ning, that 3, fleeing from the city, and vel body is camping in the hills, walle of the Holland Bay house are' in a broken and crumbling state and while the building stands, it isa tot- tering wreck, .
