NAri.E.s, February 7, 1868.—Am I dreaming ? No, the dull, heavy, surging sound that breaks the awful stillness of midnight is the shock that follows each meeting of the deep blue billoWs of the 3lcditeranean with the white-capped dan cing waves of the glorious bay of Naples. The city stretches around the bay, forming a complete semicircle of white houses, grey castles, black towers and forts. Around it the mountains form a sentry chain, and their snowy peaks glisten in the moonlight, and glow with the rosy fire-light that Vesuvius flashes over bay, city and moun tain. Vesuvius is dying ! From the Tuileries balls,the-griming tables of Baden-Bader, the gaieties of the Dresden Court, the operas of Vienna, the enchantment of Venice, tiTh Casino of Florence, the festivals of Rome, the bull-fights of Spain, and from all parts of the world, awe-struck, silent watchers have gathered round this fearful death-bed. For nearly five months this fiery monster has reveled in tempest and sunshine, night and day, fascinating the dreamy mariner swinging in the shrouds of his storm-rocked vessel far out in the Mediterra nean; startling the drowsy shepherds from their siesta under the cypress trees ; drawing the ever watchful Neapolitan mother from the orange grove to her vine-clad hut, to see her babe safe from the land-slide threatened with every shock of a new explosion; and now it seems in the agony of dying. Last evening we stood on the terrace of a. high house on the bay and watched the indsations of Vesuvius. One moment a tongue of flame, shooting up fifty feet, flashed a stream of light that revealed hundreds of little boats on the bay, filled'with watchers; crowds of peasants along the shore, dancing, singing and relating the fear ful eruptions of no distant date, when whole villages were obliterated in one single day. Great streams of red lava flowing down the black crusted sides of the mountain,and settling iregut tars and forming dozens of lakes of fire, sent forth steaming, sulphurous clouds, that were 11- lumed by the glowing crater and seemed like so many floating, waving dewiii, exulting in dyrtruction past and coming. I have tried to. sleep, but sleep that ii "sweet forgetfulness" re fuses to favor me. Every huff-hour I wake, my room light enough to see a pin on-the floor.from - the intense brightness of thamoon and' the. rosy reflection of Vesuvius. Now the dark henvy smoke rolls in a straight line over the, mountain chain that stretches along the coast to Sorrento; again a terrible report; stones, rocks, lava and smoke aro thrown violently out, and the very earth trembles, while the monster pants more faint and exhausted from what seems the last ex piring effort. Can ono roam through the ruined streets of Pompeii, or descend eighty feet under ground to Herculaneum, see the awful work of Vesuvius, and then deliberately ascend the voleimo? Yes," we did it yesterday. The fearful impression will 'never be effaced, arid if I visit Naples, fifty times S. PAMPHLETS WASTE E. HUNTER, No. 613 Jayne otreot. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Let me tell you how we did it. Wishing to be on the mountain by moon light, we left Naples in time to reach the village of Torre del Greco at three o'clock. Oh, what a Babel was there! Our guide ushered us into a house, consisting of one room, that served as parlor, bed-room and kitchen, to a Neapolitan peasant, his wife and four children, and doffing our crinolines., we were marched out singly, and each mounted on a shaggy, good-natured Naples, pony, not much larger than a Mount St. Bernard dog. Now came the tug of war.• Without the least exaggeration,there were a hun dred donkey-drivers, pulling their stubborn beasts in and out among the crowd of beggars,lnzzaroni and offal-gatherers, and such a scene of rags dirt, confusion and rage at our guide's unwilling ness to employ the whole crowd for eight travel lers, onu could never possibly imagine. When we started there was one man holding on each bridle, one each side of our saddle, and one hold ing the horse's tail, as all ponies are conducted in Naples. The guide held up his hands in despair at the awful expense our trip was likely to cost us. and by dint of strong language, kicks and pushes, right and left, he enabled us finally to escape the village with two mounted guides and one at each bridle. How curious the narrow donkey roads, with high walls on each side,that caused the sounds to reverherate,made by the clattering of the ponies' feet on the solid stone steps, cut like low, slant ing terraces in the rocky sides of the mountain! In single file, slowly and laboriously, ponies and guides trudged on, the setting sun behind its, Vesuvius in full view before ns; and now great, bald ,E harp pieces of lava,like iron,are rolling from unti:r their feet, and often cutting through their ,hoes. The lava of l P5l! After an hour and a half we reached the road that once led to a Her mitage, where a meteorological observatory was erected for the purpose of making scientific examinations into the phenomena of the volcano; but the road was impassable, being entirely over run with lava that resembled a hard paste of cough made with ashes. From this point, 2,08 u feet above the level of the sea, we toiled over r;dgcs, ruts, hills and valleys. even mountains of lava. A half hour of this fatiguing journey over a de:•crt more dreary and terrible than imagination !!;113 possibly picture, with Pompeii, Hercu laneum, Torre dcl Greco and dozens of buried and ruined cities and villages painfully oppress ing our sense of the supremacy of man's in genuity over natural accident, and inspiring a dread of the awful, fiery monster we were so recklessly approaching, not in the least modified by the fact that seventy-five thousand souls were actually clinging to their old homes on the int.untain side. down which rivers of fire rolled and surged, upheaved and turned in great blocks of crimson paste, as if the cauldron of hell were nolling over and seeking Victims beyond its limits. disutounted; our_skirts were_tie,d around ns to prevent their being torn off by the sharp edges of bard lava, and with a guide to drag us by the hand, every ono of the party being furnished with a stout stick, we started towards the lakes and streams of botid - fire. At evety step the heat became more intense. We were passing over lava that had rolled down only twelve hours before. We dared not pause an in stant or our feet were burned; if we stepped one inch aside from the spot pointed our, by the guide's staff, we might plunge our feet into fiery paste; sometimes the crust under our feet cracked: we sprang from it, and sulphurous dames i , stic-d from the crevices. At last I found my•strength exhausted: my guide, perceiving it, .:ried out: "Courage, Mada ; aca act: pea. loin."' -Not a step," 1 answered, and all scenes appeared to reutde,_when_a glass of bright wine dashed be ,.ween my eyes and the light. and "Drink! it is the wine of Vesuvius!" completed the work my overwrought feelings had begun: and not till the reaction proatteed by, a whole tumbler of I, l oh ry7,o , cliri,tti, did I comprehend that Pande monium and Vesuvius ware not synonymous. ye were so near the flowing red lava that S our to .5 were all crimson with the heat: but we dutd to remain while coins were thrown into it, and then fished nut with the metal sticking to them; eggs were roasted, and on the very place where we stood, holes were made, only on..inch deep. through which papers were lighted for the gentlemen's cigars! Soon we returned to our ponies, began the descent, and ne\er will I forget that awfully grand scene ! A black mountain, sighing, groan ing, breathing out fire and smoke. Ruined cities. new villages, illumined by its flames. The snowy mountains, rearing their white peaks to the clouds that caught the golden glow of Vesu vius, and broke into silvery light as the full moon rose triumphant, when the volcano sunk into gloomy, smoky darkness. Naples, beautiful white crescent city, lying at our feet; the bay gleaming with the thousand lights that lay like a radiant coronet on the dancing waves: the deep blue belt of the Mediterranean stretching out. an illimitable line, beyond, and I, awe-struck, weary and subdued, pondering en the Majesty that "rides on the clouds, and holds the seas in the holloic of His hands!" E. D. W. AMUSEMENTS. "MAITIC , , PERU." AT TIIE ARCII.--.Wituds Peri!, a new play by Mr. Watts Phillips, author of The head heart, and other dramas, was produced last evening at the Arch street theatre. The play is by no means the best of the author's productions. The plot has not the merit of especial novelty, and while some of the situations are intensely dramatic, the general impression produced upon the spectator is, that the whole play is very much like something he has seen before, precisely where and when he cannot determine. The story is something after this fashion: "Lady Mand" is affianced to a man who stays away, Enoch Arden-like, until she supposes him to be dead, and she Is induced to marry a rich old fellow, whose worldly wealth constitutes his only attraction. But there is, of course, abe c tie browed villain in the shape of a returned convict, who has seen the lost lover, and brings to "Lady Marid'_' a letter fjom him. While she reads it, in comes the lover himself, and mutual reproaches ensue. Her husband, without understanding the situation is friendly to the lover, but one evening "Lady Maud," in a fit of somnambulancy, walks into his presence with the lover's letter, drops it, and goes back to bed. Her husband reads it, hrows furiously angry and bribes the convict to ill the lover. Convict tempted by , the sight of gold kills the husband instead.,. Just then in comes the lover, and the injured man accuses hini of the murder. Eventually he discovers his mis take, acquits him of the crime,• leaves him his money; commends him to his prospective widow, blesses them both, and expires, as all rich, incon venient and 'unlovely husbands- ought to do. '"Lady Maud" returns to her first love, marries him- and the curtain comes down. This is an outline of the whole story. • • The different characters were very well sus. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. tallied, and the admirable management,for which the stage at the Arch is noted, was apparent in all of the details of the performance. Mrs. Drew herself gave some admirable acting in the part of "Lady Maud." The somnambulist scene, in the third act, was particularly well performed, and is untitled to especial commendation for being within the bounds of nature, and yet forcible and impressive. Mr. Walcot was excellent as "Toby Tripeiboy." although the character was some what out of his usual ; and Mr. Everly made a decided bit as "Gerald Gwynn," a part, by the way, in which be has a better opportunity to make a pleasing Impression than in many which be has been called upon to sustain. "Sir Ralph Challonee was well represented by Mr. Mackay, and Mrs. Creese made the most of the small part of "Susan Taperboy." Mrs. Drew has placed lliaud's /Wit on the stage with more than usual care. The two new scenes of the "tapestry-room" and the "gothic drawing room," in the second and third acts are remark ably handsome, and all the appointments are rich and in the best taste. The scene in the sec ond act where the gleams of lightning light up the old wainscoated and tapestry dining-room during the interview OT "Maud" with her lover, was very effective, and the slamming of the doors and windows by the gusts of wind contributed to the impression of reality. Indeed, all that good taste and good management could do to secure the success of the play was done, and the large audience present testified to their approbation at the fall of the candle by liberal applause. BENEFIT or OWIiN FAWM=.—On Thursday evening next Mr. Owen Fawcett, the popular young comedian, of the Walnut street company, will have a benefit. The bill prepared for the oc casion Is very attractive and will present Mr. Fawcett in some of his most successful Imperson ations. Rip Van Winkle, Solon Shingle and Blinky Brown are the characters, and we feel as sured that it will not be necessary to do more to announce Mr. Fawcett's appearance in them to insure him a crowded house. His merit as an actor as well as his personal popularity will surely-- contribute to make this benefit in every way a MIMES. 1115 , 3 EFFIE GERMON'S BENEFlT.—Tomorrow (Wednesday) evening Miss Effie Germon will have a benefit at the Walnut Street Theatre. In her peculiar line of parts Miss Germon has few equals on the stage.- She is sprightly, vivacious and attractive, and sings charmingly. She will appear in ail ee excellent pieces, .116 g's Direr.•ion, Pet of the Pelticoat.-: and Jenny Lind. A full house is already an established fact. Tnn TIMATEES.—The local drama Dead Sea Fruit, will be repeated at the Chestnut this even ing. The hour of the beginning of the perform ance not announced. At the Arch, the play -Vaud': Perd will be repeated with Craig's burlesque Faust. Performance begins at a quarter to eight. At the Walnut, the drama The Octoroon will be given with a fine cast. Performance begins at half past seven. A varied bill is offered at the American. alas. KTIMBLE'S READLYGS.—On Monday even ing next Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble will give the first of a series of four readings at Concert Nall. Mrs. Kemble announces that she will not permit the sale of reserved seats. The reason for this is that some of the people who held tickets in Now York, came late and disturbed the reader. It is hardly fair that we should sufThr for the sins of ill•mannered New Yorkers, and we think Mrs. Kemble has made a decided mistake in establish ing this rule. SELECT REA ra:Nr..4t, Concert Hall this evening, Mr. S. K. Mu och, the well known elo -cutionist, will give a - reading at behalf of the Ed— wards Mission idchooL The selections comprise extracts from favorite authors, and as Mr. Mur doch possesses rare talent as a reader, an enter tqf ment of great merit may be expected_ ELM Y.,SLIA STREET OPERA HocsE.—The great burlesque upon Under the Gaslight entitled Anything You Like, will be given at Csrncrows and Dixey's this evening. This is one of the most amusing pieces of the kind ever placed upon the stage in this city. It abounds in local hits, comi cal situations, and contains a multitude of good things. There will also be a miscellaneous min strel performance. PnnanFLrarnOPEßA Hoerr:.—An attractive minstrel entertainment will be given at this house this evening. The performance will include sing ing. dancing, instrumental music, burlesque, farce and negro personations. Several of the most accomplished members of the profession are attached to the company engaged at this hou,e. Et I;NErr.-Mr. Alfred Burnett, the celebrated mimic, will giVe one of his amusing exhibitions at At,sembly Buildings, this evening. Mr. Bur nett assumes a multitude of different characters every night, and they are all drawn with great power and fidelity to nature. Musical and Dramatic Notes. A i•nra is to be made a Senator. LA DY EARDLY (Beseie Aleyne) will rdtnrn to the stage. MR. BANDMANN has achieved immediate and emphatic success at the Lyceum in Xurci.gse. Srittzt.u.46 CoxNE's Woman of the World has been produced at the Olympic, with Mr. Charles Matthews and Mrs. Horace W!gan. SII ;NOR MAIIIO has •in some measure retrieved his - credit - in Russia by WS singing, and still more by his acting, with Mlle. Trebelli-llettini, in La l'arovita. Two new German operas are announced at Weimar, The /Pro of the North by Herr Gotze, and . /m Kyjrhaa,ten, by Herr M.uhldorfer. The hitter is sale to have been successful in Leipsig. SPEAKING of Bandmann the 0 reheth-tt remarks: "Ile is decidedly an impassioned actor, resem bling Mr. Fechter in some particulars, without Mr. Fechter's jerkiness; and he speaks English remarkably well." HER SCIIOBSER, m London, announces four concerts_ exclusively Aevoted. to the music .of Schumann. The A then aunt says : '`Originality in advertisement could hardly be carried' further than in the case of that gentleman, who, the other day, among other attractions to his 'grand evening concerts,' announced the exhibition of three letters by 'the late Edmund Kean.' " Tun Havre journals are filled with eulogies of Mlle. Adelina Patti for her performance, in the theatre of that town, of "Rosuaa" in the Barbiere. In the music lesson she sang a composition, entitled Les Echos, borrowed from the repertory of Jenny Lind, for whom it was composed by Ecker.: The artiste afterwards played the mad scene in Lucia, and produced a great effect. The Marquis de Caux occupied a stall. The gross re ceipts at the theatre Were 10,036 francs, the highest amount ever taken there. After the per formance the orchestra and the chorus gave Mlle. Patti a grand serenade in front of her hctel. Ronr,nrsc&s "Play" is on the boards of the Prince of Wales. Bays the Orchestr a:—"lf the, greatest success depended on the fewest letters, we suppose Mr. Robertson might become the greatest comedy-writer of the time by calling a piece 'Pa: or 'M.P.' In this respect, indeed, `Play' ought to stand a very fair chance of success. Bat the objection to 'play' as the name of the piece is that there is little or nothing about play In it, except that other _sense which_makes the whole piece a play,. On Plating, the action does not binge. The wording on the playl:bill with its redundant German, 'der Brunnen das aim Schloss, der Spielsaal, der Kar ma, der' Kurgartel "was calculated to throw the expectant one off the scent. The spectator awaited a brilliant picture of Isfo at a German Badort,.with all the - intrigue and excitement of the tapes rert, the interest culminating at Trenls ria or in some equivalent incident of the gaming table. Nothing, of the klenthappened, except that there was .ft gaming table, at , which a real Frenchman acted the croupier, and a few super numeraries-strongly insisted on all staking upon the winning color." , • Tna'unpublished and unproducest opera, com posed by the late M.-Meyerbeer, on the subject Of Geellte's early days, has furnished theme for much discussion in. Paris, bat the facts of the case seem at last to have been reduced to a sys tematic statement. M. Blaze de Bury, it appears, wrote a drama of the ordinary kind, which he entitled "La Jeunesse de Gi;the," and which he read to the late Mlle. Ros Cheri, long known as the leading actress of the Gymnase. When ho came to certain verses which were intended to be sung in course of the piece, he was stopped by the actress, who expressed her opinion that the situation in which they occurred would be much heightened byoperatic music, but that the music latroduced ought not to be the work of a mere ordinary composer. This opinion was con firmed by the lady's husband, M. Moutigny, the manager of the Gymnase, and M. do Bury ac cordingly took his drama to Meyerbeer. who was so pleased that he soon composed for it a veri table operatic score. The original drama thus lost its original character,and became inseparably connected with the music of Meyerbeer. In this form, M. de la Roumat, director of the Gdeon,de sired to produce it at his theatre, but Meyerbeer, who had already completed "L' Africairvl was determined that that opera should be performed before any other work from his hand. When Meyerbeer was dead, and L'Afri,caine had been brought out, M. Blaze de Bury claimed his manuscript and the score, but was informed that he could not obtain them inasmuch as Meyer beer had expressly declared in his will that none of his manuscripts were to be touched during the minority of his grandson, who, on coming of age. was to have the sole right to dispose of them, provided always that he was a musician. To ensure the fulfilment of his wishes, the composer had adopted a singular precaution. Suspecting that artists could scarcely fail to be curious and indiscreet, if entrusted with his unpublished works, ho placed the whole of his manuscripts in a large chest, strongly secured and sealed, and bequeathed this to the care of fcinr curriers of a suburb of Berlin, with whom 1,6 bad no personal acquaintance, and whose names he knew simply because he had seen them daseribcd_ on. their sign-board while making the tour of the Prussian capital. Here, then, is the difficulty: On the one hand the carriers refuse to open the chest before the time appointed by the testator; on the other hand. M. Blaze de Bury contends that he is in possession of written pro mises that nullify the right of the deceased com poser to make his work inaccessible. The deci sion as to the rights of the antagonistic parties b elongs to the courts of law. • DOSIENTIC. LUCILLE WESTERN is in Indianapolis.

VIA Hey.use, March 8, 1868.—The news from Sinaloa was very warlike. The rival claimants were about to settle their dispute by battle. Senor Ignacio Vallarta, the new Minister of Gobernacion. had arrived at the capital from Guadalajara. Senor Vallarta is a native of Jalisco, about 37 years of age, and a man of great scholarly attainments. He is one of the ablest lawyers in Mexico. In 1856, when he was the youngest deputy in the Mexican Con gress, he made one of the most remarkable Bpetches ever delivered in that body. It was characterized by its intense hostility to the Church. Senor Vallarta is a man of the stamp of General Porfirio Diaz. He accompanied President Juarez in his Right to Passe del Norte. Congress refuses General Sanchez Ochoa per mission to take his seat. He was again arrested on the 29th and imprisoned.

No railroad bills have been passed re cently, and nothing new has taken place with reference to the Mexico and Vera Cruz Railway since thevote by which the concession was aus pended..
