shodlLg aijfgeBujiilat%> a^ply i spectacle which wo were now approaching,,, i In- the previous phases: of the eruption | the -explosions followed each other va- I pldly for Borne minutes, and then ceased for intervals of various duration. But on Friday there was a constant succession ot explosions without any intervals of rest Shot followed shot bo swiftly that the sound of one had not time to die away when the next occurred. The detonations were - dis tinctly. hear 4 at Naples,. and they becamo al most deafening aswe, .approached the ,conp. In theiMiiStisnnlighhthe - showers of < stones whicit 'were ejected from the crater at each explosion appeared black, and looked for au the W otld. as tiiSV ascended and scattered m thdair, like a flight of rooks ' suddenly dis turbed!by a Bhot fired up into, the . rookery. An. however, the sun descended behind Ischia,land day waned- into twihght, the rooks began to change their col into the gaping crater and partly in parabolic curves aflaroandthe mountain.' So frequent we fe the explosions that ’ the ascending . and descending showers kept crossing pach Other , almost without intermission. I am afraid, tbat soine of your -readers will, think l am. drawing thelong bow When I express my opinion that Some of the stones were hurled at leaßt two thousand', feet liito the air, but I Vefialy believe that sueh an estimate wpaid he rather under the mark than over it. Some of the stones were of enormous bulk, prob ably many tons in weight, and occupiedmore than a minute in descending, reckoning, not from thh moment of leaving the crater, but frdmthe highest point of altitude, t Some fell Straight back into” the crater, others hair wav down the mountain, while not a few on reaching the ground, rebounded, and went thundering down the mountain in a senes of leaps, sometimes reaching the bottom, and sometimes breaking in pieces on the way and dispersing in a. showey.of,fire. There is some thing not only picturesque but awful in the sight of a huge ball of fire down a mountain through the darkness and solitude of night! like some unearthly monster rush ing on its prey. It is decidedly a case where “distance lendß enchantment to the view; and accordingly we (for I was accompanied by two Mends and a guide) had not gone far up the cone when we considered jt prudent to retrace our steps, not at all relishing the prospect of being hurled into empty space by some stray shot from Vesuvius, -=» . A beautiful stream of lava, not enmson like the one I saw when I visited Vesuvius five weeks ago, but bright like a clear flame, was rushing down in a cataract from the summit of the new cone and in the direction of Ot taiauo. It decreased in speed as it approached the bottom of the old cone, but even there its rate of progress could not have been less than four milpg an hourf It was about twenty feet wide, and not very deep, haying no time to accumulate, owing to the rapidity of its flow. For the same reason there was no bank worth speaking of on either side like the stream I saw in the Atrio del Cavallo at my former visit ‘ When the lava moves slowly - it cools at the sides and on the surface, and thus forms a sort of canal, the bed of which is continually raised in con sequence of the molten mass congealing beneath the fiery stream, which, with uni form action, pushes right and left the scorlse that are floating on the surface. In this way a regular dam" is at length thrown up, some times to a considerable height,in which the glowing stream flows on as quietly as any millßtream. But when, as on Friday night, the lava flows in a swift current it has no time, to cool, and there being no barrier, it gains in width what it loses in depth. When it reached the Pianura del Cavallo—that is, plane at the bottom of the cone looking to wards Ottaiano—it spread out into a sort of mimic estuary about 10 feet deep and some 50 feet wide. The progress of this was something like 10 feet an hour. We made our way towards it over an old field of lavs, full of pits and fissures, rugged i ridgeß and smooth‘patches inviting our foot steps, and then, treacherously giving way, under us, exactly like, an Alpine glacier. At the foot of the lava stream We found a num ber of people assembled, looking weird and ghost-like from the curious combinations of variegated lights and shadows which were reflected from the fire-showers of Vesuvius and from the. light of the lava stream. The whole streani was striking and impressive beyond all powers of description, and in some respects quite different from that which ‘ I witnessed on a previous occasion. I was then shut in by the narrow gorge which sepa rates Bomma from the cone of Vesuvius. This no doubt, aided by a bleak ho wling tempest, enhanced the terrible aspect of the eruption; but it debarred nearly all the lovely scenery which wooa the eye wherever it tunfflwin this classic region. Now,. on, the other hand, when the eye turned away dazed from the splendors of Vesuvius, it lighted on a picture of equal, if softer, beauty. The lights of Nuceria, Ottaiano, and Bosco glittered through the darkness of the valley below, a few fights flickered here and there among the ruinaof Pompeii, as if the manes ofsomeofits lone-buried inhabitants loved still to wander “at the “witching -hour of night” among the haunts of their short-lived revelries; while further on Castellmare and a portion of Sorrento sparkled by the sea. Overhead Vesuvius seat out a triumphal arch of smoke beautifully illuminated by the re flection from the crater and the lava stream, and spanning the sky in the direction of Ca pri, which could just be seen in outline loom-- mg on the horizon like some colossal lea monster rising from the deep. In the midst of this paradise of silent beauty Vesuvius reared: its flaming head, and With ene ,contin uous rear sent up volley after volley Vesuvius. , into the blue sky, and to . such a height A correspondent of the London Guardiar? that the. red-hot stones seemed to mingle with give? the following lively account of a recent A l 6 stars. accent of-the volcano during the eruption, After my friends and myßelf had feasted which, we think, will be read with interest our eyes with such a sight as it is rarely given by -onr readers at the premaftmoment; to man to see, we began to wend our • way .

In 18(13 a law was passed relating to landlords and tenants, which declared in substance that when houses were occupied by tenants (under agreement with the landlord to perform labor or service lor him), and the business relations ceased between the landlord and tenant, the lat ter could be ejected from the house on ten days notice. An act to repeal this law was the first thing considered by the House. Messrs. Smith, of Allegheny, Chalfant, of Mon tour, Edwards, of Lawrence, and Ford, of Alle- I'henv, declared that under the operation of .tuts Taw men and women had been turned out of doors in midwinter in their districts on the occa sion of certain strikes of miners and mechanics. On one occasion, at Birmingham, in Allegheny county, three thousand men hud collected to re sist llie enforcement of this ‘‘Tioga law, ns is was called. . . The bill was passed to a second reading by 81 yeas to o nays. , . ~ Mr. Mann, of Potter, one of the three in the minority, said that the bill was a good one, and that the statements of its effect had been highly colored. It was of agreement between the landlord and tenant. When the bu siness relations between them wore at an end it was certainly right that tho landlord should have the use of his house, and it was not right; that, the tenant should continue to occupy property upon which he had no iurther claim. . w The House passed the repealing act without again ealling-the-ycas and nays,—------- r - r - The following joint resolution (offered origi nally by Mr. Hickman, of Chester) was con sidired: . . __ joint resolution instructing the Senators and re questing the Representatives in Congress from the State of Pennsylvania to urge upon the attention of the General Government the pro priety of establishing a line of steamships from the States to Liberia, in Africa. . . Whereas, By the benevolent and humane ef forts of citizens of. the United States, acting through the agency of the American Coloniza tion Society, and in which the people; of, this Slate have, largely, participated, settlements ot ©nr colored population have become .perma nently established on the Western coast of ■ Africa. And whereas, The growthof these settlement?, and the prospect of their rapid Increase in tne future, call for the exercise of greater power than is.possessed by the said society; ' A nd whereas, The philanthropic efforts, of the society are worthy of and ought to receive aid and assistance from the Federal government; therefore ; ‘ „ He it resolved by the Senate and House of.

In relation to this ftffaii' I informed yon that Gen. Hancock sent Col. Wood, of his Staff, to Marshall, Texas, for the purpose of Investigating "the matter. Coi. Wood, to tos reconv tnends that the prisoners to charge of the military authorities be immediately transferred to the local authorities. Gen. Hancock has so ordered, and has also directed the Military Commander to report to him what action is taken by the civil authorities in each case, as the other, prisoners were bennd over under bonds to appear at the next term of the Criminal Court It te supposed the other cases will be similarly treated. This affair proves to have been a political /racas,similar in every respect to those occurring at approaching elections in the Northern States, and the authorities have treated it the same as though it occurred in the most quiet section of the Union. Its only importance is derived from the political phases of the hour. Obituary. Boston, February 13th—Prentiss B.
