' The first thing that strikes the eye is the black oiled appearance of every object, the fine dust, which had fallen in heavy showers, lying four-and s-half inches iu depth in the streets and on the tops of :the homes. Some of these were creaked hod. mentally across the fiat roofs, aid others perpen tlioularly, but it is not until yon turn off to the loft alittle beyond the station, that the fall amount -of the damage is to be witnesse d.i From this point, .ascending the mountain, a number of houses aro wanted, which hive been most materially injured— from 400 to 500 in all—and rendered to a certain extent unsafe.

I shall hero insert the report which was sent to me yesterday morning by Giovanni Oorsolino, the principal guide of the mountain, as it will explain precisely , the site where Mite menthe, 'which are now vomiting forth fire, 'smoke, and lave, have been formed : On 'the Bth inst., at about a quarter past 11 A. M., a great trembling of the ground was felt at Torre del Greoo, which continued at intervals of diem Eve to ten minutes. The population were in great alarmi expecting an 'earthquake. At Resins this tremulous Motion was felt, though not so atrongly, about midday. Toward 3 o'clock in the 'afternoon a large opening was made in the ground above Torre del Greco,,and half a mile lower than the ' , crater of 1774, and the first cone was , formed - underneath the house of Etonian:* Cruel. This kerma was thrown into the air, as were four others in a massed& close by. The lava has arrived (on the morning of the 9th) at about a quarter of an hour's walk above the monastery of the Oappuoini ,(which_ has been destroyed), and. is about a half a mite in breadth. All the housee in Torre have ifissurecia them, and the population have fled to Naples. At- the time that the new cones ware formed the top of the mountain was tranquil, but about 2 o'clock in the morning the grand crater at the summit burst out with a tremendous noise, thrOwing stones and ashes to a great height. Every effort of this kind is accompanied by a sound as of thunder. One of the guides, called , Gennarino amain% while attempting to get a piece or the red-. hot lava, in which to put a coin, was killed on the Spot by a atone which fell "upon hie head." The report ie meagre, erroneous in name instances, and some of the details have been modified by what has since taken place. The road and the streets by which you approach the principal phint of inte rest arc in many places opened ; a nd at the place alluded to by the guide there are not one only, but two Considerable cones and several smaller ones; indeed,, in many places there are indications of the crust of the earth giving way to the subterranean fires. The principal of the cones is an ellipse, and both at first sent out a body of lava, which threat ened Torre del Greco with rapid destruction. One of those happy elevations which so often change the course of the current divided it into two streams, flowing down on either side. The open ing of the main crater, too, at 2 o'clock A. M., of Monday morning, diminished the violence of the lower stream, and possibly saved the town. Last night the view which presented itself from my windows was very grand ; the black column rose majestically, and, wee then carried off by the wind far over the sea, 'while forked lightning, ar it were, and brilliant lights, each es those of Roman oandleS, prayed about the crater. This morning the 'volumes of smoke are rising and rolling one over another ickgrand involution, while the eastern sun behind them gives hues which it is difficult to describe. Beyond - the pall which hangs over the sea, it is impossible to see anything except whoa an opening is made by a gust of wind, and then one sees a picture of Sorrento or Capri hung in the centre of a deep-black cloud. I think much property will be destroyed, though not many lives, as all have escaped. 'What is ruin to many, however, is prosperity to others, and there are many here who are ealoulating on a good sea son at lest—on full hotels and much profit. Dec. 11.

So much has Napoleon enhanced his value in the- -eyes of his subjects, that toward three o'clock the avenues to Who guzelett, opening on the Rue Rivoll to the Mae de PEolielle, were yesterday densely crowded with those who came to. testify by thillir , demonstrations their appreciation of the late mea quires which bring imperialism into closer relation ship with free institutions than it has known for 'nearly ten years past. A great many vivats greeted the Emperor along his course, to which he returned repeated aoknowledgments.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat says: It will be recollected that a few years ago ono of the moat stupendous frauds ever known in this country was perpetrated by the passage of an sot of Congress known as the swamp land act. This act provided that all the swamp lands in certain Western States, should, on certain conditions, be donated to the States in which they wore located, and the several States, by their subsequent legisla tiveenaotments,donated these lands to the countieS in which they might be found. The counties employed agents to ascertain what amount of the Government lands then vacated were swamp, offering fifteen cents an acre for all they could find. With fifteen cents an acre in their eyes, these agents were' blind to everything but swamps, and under their dim vision the most un dulating prairies, high ridges and knolls, beautiful groves and valleys, as fertile as the Nile, all alike passed unnoticed for swamps. In many places whole sections and tiers of secti - ns, embraoing thousands of sores in a body, of the richest and finest lands in- the world, were reported swamp, and when these agents had completed their work of iniquity, it was ascertained that the aggregate amount of-the land they had selected embraced as many square miles as the whole State of Mis souri. The people became indignant, and were loud in their complaints at Washington, offering to furnish evidence to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, to show that the Government had boon swindled. Uncle Sam concluded to receive the evidence. and, therefore, declined transferring his ownership by the issue of patents to the counties or States, until the evidence could be examined in regard to the alleged fraud. Printed instructions were issued from the General Land Office, and largely distributed throughout all of the States in which the lands bad been selected, offering inducements to individuals to examine the lands and report their character, and required the land to be accurately surveyed in forty-acre tracts by competent and disinterested surveyors. The surveys wore completed at a heavy expense of individuals who had the promise of the Govern ment that they should be reimbursed by the pur obese of these lands from the Government at ono dollar and twenty-five cents per acre. The parties engaged in the contest complied with theirlnstruc tions from the Government, and the evidence showed that the fraud was of a magnitude having no parallel in the history of the country. John Slidell was then a Senator in Congress, and was familiar with the evidentie before the Commissioner of the Land Office; and knowing that the counties had no sort of show, ho conceived a plot for securing to himself a large amount of these lands, by defraud log the counties and the Government. He therefore made a proposition to ono of the counties in Illi nois, (Iroquois, I think,) offering to pay $50,000 for all the so-called swamp land within the limit of said county, amounting to about ono hundred thousand acres, and agreed to take his chances. The propo sition was accepted, and the county made a quit claim to John Slidell. The only step now to be taken to complete Ins programme, and to make his title from the county valid, was to secure the pas sage of another act of Congress confirming the original awamp-land seleation By the aid of mo ney and the complicity of a few more members of that delectable body similarly interested with him self, just upon the eve of the adjournment of Con gress the act was passed, and John Slidell became the owner of one hundred thousand mires of flagged land as there is in the State of Illinois. As an in stance, showing the quality of these lands, and the magnitude of the fraud, it may be proper here to state that a prominent circuit judge in Illinois offer ed to take all the swamplands in one county, amount ing to 80,000 acres, at five dollars per aoro, cash, and the proposition was declined. Some of these same lands were afterwardsappraised at twenty dollars per aoro. The Normal University at Bloom ington—the pride of the State—was built from the proceeds of these lands. Ono man, who spent twelve months in examining swamp lands in Illi nois, in compliance with the requirements of the General Land Office, to ascertain their quality, found during the whole of that time barely one tract, embracing fifteen acres, that had any claim to swamp, and that was planted in corn, 'Let the authorities try the present ownership of Slidell by virtue of the confiscation not, and it may be made to appear that the Government still owns a hun dred thousand acres of land in Illinois, and John Slidell will realize the truth of the text—" The way of the transgressor is hard."

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL THE MONEY MARKET. PIIILADF.LPIIIA, Jan. 2, 1862 A dull stock market characterized the opening of business for tho new year today, though nearly all the securities sold were at previous quotations. City sixes, new, sold at 881 at the first board, and 881 at the second board. 'Pennsylvania 00upon fives sold at 81; North Pennsylvania Railroad bonds at 57 for the six-per -cents, and 70 for the chattel mortgage tens, with two coupons off. Reading Railroad stock was dull at 171 at the first boird, and afterwards fell oil to 171. The city treasurer to-day commenced paying the semi-annual interest on the loans. In the money market the demand is increasing, and the holders of capital more wary and cautious than ever. The anticipation of some such notion by Congress upon goods in the bonded warehouses as was taken in the sugar ease, makes importers Very anxious to get the duties on bonded goods paid as soon as possible, and many sacrifices are submit ted to, to obtain money to pay duties. The denun ciations of the notion of Congress among importers are neither few nor sparing. That new duties should be imposed on goods already imported in good faith under tariffs that were the law at tho time of im portation, and under which the schedule of duties were assured and certified to the owners, is re garded as a breach of contract on the part of the Goiernment, and 'only to be submitted to because the Government has the power to commit it. It is openly alleged to be a killing of the goose that lays the golden eggs. Nevertheless, as new duties were suddenly imposed upon sugars in bond, there is reason to fear they may be extended to other goods also warehoused, and every one who is thus situated seeks to get his goods out of bond imme diately, even if ho makes sacrifices to raise, the money for the duties. Hence there is an increased pressure for money is the market, affording to capi talists greater choice of paper, and somewhat bet ter rates of interest. Messrs.

The Now York Evening Post of to-day says: The stock market is heavy and lower to-day, with considerable pressure to sell the railroad shares. The reaction is most marked in the de scriptions which advanced two, three, and four per cent. on Monday and Tuesday. The downward turn of to-day may bo attributed to rumors of a Federal reverse at Paducah, and ex aggerated reports of the illness of General Mc- Clellan. The ill-natured comments of the London press on the stone blockade also increased the fool ing of uceosinT. There was spirited bidding for stocks on buyers' option, and largo differences are paid for thirty days' time. Sales for cash were freely made at a decline of lag per cent. on the speculative shares.
