41-Vitsbutgi Gaytts; A STIRRING S KETCH. At the. Crater of VesuValS. tlrrotu th e Pal, Mall Ga7tttr.3 Often as VernVius has been described, there is one set of impression§ which are perhaps the most generally interesting of all, but which, from the nature of the Case, cannot so frequently be recorded. I refer to the impressions of one who has stood upon the lip of the crater and looked down while the eruption is actually in progress. It is not always that a view ,of such a scene can be obtained. It was at a time when crash was followi4 crashin a manner that was quite sufficiently terrible, and when all the suffoeating•steams and vapors were being driven to one aide of the mountain by a strong wind, that we were able to go up' 'from the windward side, stand upon the lip of the crater, look down into the roaring abyss, and see what the eruption of a yolcano looks like on the spot. That is, in truth; the only way of getting an idea of what a repository of horrors a volcano is. Without such a visit, Vesuvius is often a little disappointing. It is nothing 'but a fine' Mountain, just like any other, says .14endelssolm. :Yon may be a little dis apPointed as you see Vesuvius from below. But you have.cinly to mount to the summit when an eiwption.ef any , magnitude is in progress to find Yourself in the preserice of 'appalling phenomena both of sight and sound. S ,Choose the lait few hours of day light for your ascent, and then, as the dark ness closes round and the world below be .comes hidden:from your view, you stand at the _crater in.., the : , presence of a scene for which no language can be very extrava gant. ,Ear ,experienced mountaineers the effort required for the ascent is nothing re f markable, but for 'ordinary people it is la ;. borious enofigh ' • Youirrive at the edge of the crater, and there you behold a scene full of awe and mar jesty. The suddenness with which, you come upon it is quite startling. Going •tcp you neither see nor hear anything. One monient,you are clambering up the side of the cone amid, profound silence; the next moment, as your head arliesabovelbe cra ter lip, you encounter a roar and ablaze which make you shrink back a little. This surprise is Occasioned, I suppose ' by the for mation of the. crater. It is a huge bowl which comes rip to quite - a sharp lip, about half a imlein diameter; and some hundred yards in dePth. Towards the bottom of this bovil, on the opposite side to where we stood, was argreat hole, from which all the projectiles of the eruption were shot; the• surface, of ,the bowl being composed of lumps of lava, stones and cinders, all of them smeared with sulphur, precisely like. those upon which we were standing. As you monnt-the cone there 'is between you and the golf an enormous) wall, which dulls everything alike—for eye and ear. Even . while on the steeps of the bone itself you might be unaware that the mountain was disturbed. But a single step seems talmogt enough to transfer you from the most deathlike stillness to the -.Vaud- est exhibition of force it is possible to conceive, instead of the monotonous dull black of- coniealed lava on the lower levels, you have the deep brick red of stones that lutye been' under the action of fire, the brightest vermilion, and every imaginable shade of orange and yellow that sulphur de posits are capable of taking. The ground is hot, too; so hot, Indeed, that you cannot keep yourfoot' on.the same spot for many' seconds together. Between the chinks of the stones; you can see that a few inches below the surface it is/ actually red hot.. Yon thrust in the end of your stick for a- moment and you pull it out 'charred. Over_ all' the farther half ;of the crater there hangs• a dense cloud of smoke and vapor; all, around you, there is an atmosphere of sul phur which sets you coughing, from num berless small holes about your feet there is- - sues with a hiss sulphurous jets of steam which nearly choke you as you pass over them; and then as you look down into the actual abyss you are face to face with the most appalling'phenomena, both of sight and sound, which, perhaps, the whole of Europe has to offer. Among the, crowd of strange sensations that \ ire experienced• at such a time the phenomena of sound are perhaps the: most wonderful , of all, What meets the ears is, if anything, even• more terrific than • what meets \ lhe eye. Even to sight the eruption is not just what the imagination paints it. beforehand. It &es not consist, as the pictures necessarily lead one to suppose, of a continuous shower at all. Still less does it consist of a contite> , nous shower of black ashes. shot out from a. fire blazing on the top of the mountain; it is rather a ,senes of explosions. But the. roar and glare of, the great abyss is continu •ons. You look into the pit, and though you see no actual flame, yet -it.isides are in a state of constant inCandescenos; .from • the mouth of ..it ,there . roars up. incessantly a dense elotid of steam; and in the depth of it below yoahear the noise of preparatiOn for thee - outburst that is next to come. Then you hear a sharper crackle, and then withoutfurther warning follows a loud ex losion, which shock's into the air a torrent of ihite- 1, , hot (missiles of every shape and size. Si' normous are the forces at work that not only small pieces of- stone and snlpbur, such as you might carry awa7y , as mementoes of your visit, ..but huge blocks of min ,eral., each enough to . load. a railway ballast Wagon, and all in a state of perfectly white,heat, are tossed up as though they were so many cricket balls. The explosion lasts, perhaps, no _longer than a. ; . minute; and then there is a 'cessation - of some sec- onds with the noise only of internal prepa ration once more, after which the explosion is repeated.. That was nothing to the( al moat stupifying din that was going on be fore us—moments when the daylight was over, and the World below could no longer be distinguished—when we had nothing but 'the clear starlight overhead, and were truly alone with the mountain; - when the varied coloring of the ground had disappeared in the darkness, and nothing could be seen but the gleam of the burning earth throughthe Chinks at our 'feet; while the white-hot -glaring ribbon of molten lava glided lan guidly down the mountain storm sidel. and before us was the flashing of the inner fire upon the cloud of vaporaverhanging. the abyss. Take all =these.to,getbry and- the scene is indeed rather . differiai_ktrom. , what tyou picture to-yourself-tts - yotrftintly 'read in your newspaper, that. -Vesuvius is once - again in a state of eruption. ! I spoke' just - now.of the - stream of ;lava which glides down. the mountain. In the first place, two'vectillaritiel were obwrva— ble in it, One was the marvellous slownes.s Of its motion. In the early part of its scent the incline over - which it had to pus was precipitous; yet so slowly did thisAiillM of liquid fire move within its bed that - its c urrent was only just perceptible. It seem ed to be only just' in motion: Perhaps in some degree connected with, the same eohe. sign which this languor of movement hll cated, was the other peculiarity' of the laid . • ',stream--the tenacity of its surface, In .ap- '"pearance, as.we etliod Ui ve. it, it. was perfectly liquid state; it looked as though you might nth Ito - ukfitcis - witia ',II:: pint ofyour stick. Great, a ccordingly,•wae our surprise at finding that even• with the`-very greatest force available on the spot we could not make the ilighteatTrapression 'Sport it. The largest masses of mineral that we, could lift, we dashed down from above upon the burning stream; but they simply bounded across its face, like a ball upon s floor with out producing the faintest apparent it:dente tion. Moreover, it is commonly sup posed that lava is always projected from the I crater, and the language commonly li4ed in description encourages the idea. "A stream of 'lava was seen to issue from the canter" is—the sort of phraseorogy with Which one is most familiar in ' accounts of eruptions that took place in bygone days. am not sure that this is ever strictly ac curate;' hut with the crater in anything like its present form it hardly seems probable. It would , take a vast quantity of tnolten laVa to fill that great bowl of a half mile in di ameter, whicu I suppose it would have to do 'before any of it would run over down the sides of the mountain. I saw no indication that this ever took place. While you are on the moutain, the streams of lava which have lissaed forth and cooled at the 'several previous eruptions are quite distin guishable from each other by their differ ences of structure and color. We saw many such; but I saw no indication of any one of them having come over the lip of the crater. In every single instance the source of the lava stream seemed to have been"' lower down the' mountiin: Certainly this was the - case with the very - fine , one which burst, out just before our visit. As we stood upon the lip of the crater it was below us throughout its whole length. The lays was issuing from. a great fissure which it bad made for itself some distance down in the side of the cone. The guides hurried away fiom the neigh borhood of its source, because they said, it was quite possible another orifice might open at any moment, and then it would be all over with the present spectators. The experience of these men•clearly fed them to regard this as the normal mode of the emis sions of lava. In, the case actually before us it was being poured foitk evenly and continuously in a molten state from the &s - mile; it descended for a short distance,' in a broad stream, to a point where a bifur&- tion took place, and then the burning min eral' went down to the base of the moun tain in two streams of perhaps twenty feet each in width, looking in the darkness like two broad ribbons of fire stretching down into the plain. The Temporal Power—Pope Plus Defines ms - Mission. A letter from Rome, in the Union, gives. 'an account of the Pope blessing , the war material presented by the Vendean-Breton Committe ; The pieces consisted of a com plete battery of rifled canon, four mounted howitzers and the regulation ambulanees for an, entire division. A large number of persons were present and saluted the.Bovei eign Pontiff with the warmest acclamations. An address was read by Colonel Baron de Charette, to which. His Holiness, after ex pressing his thanks, went on to say "For me, who am a Minister of Peace, it may appear that I am misplaced in ' the midst of arms and the apparatiis of artillery. But I am the Minister of God, and the fact must be remembered that the Almighty, 'who calls himself the God of Peace, is also the God of Battles, and .the evil must al ways be combatted. I, the Vicar of. Jesus Christ, I defend everywhere throughout the world, truth, justice and the rights of every one; and this is why the 'whole uni verse ought to unite to sustain me in my rights. I thank ycn who are here present, all that select youth and those whom you represent, as well as those who ,are more directly pay subjeets, and who ardently de fend with you the same cause. This is how, with, your arms; w ith these weapons, and especially with the...protection of the Most High, we shall see that.otur enemies will be stopped before these imperishable .wails of. of the - Vatican. That will be, if our life, by itiholiness, is in conformity with our mis sion. That will be, if we are with God' and his justice; if He is inns by His grace, then God will be fully and truly with us. Et si Deus pro nobis, quit contra nos?" The Holy' Father afterwards visited the various articles, and had all the details of the ambulances explained to him. THE LONDON correspondent of the Bos "ton Advert:4er says of the Marquis of Hast ings : "After leaving Oxford University he hurried along the road to ruin with sea . - ishness prominent in his Vices. His Wen did country house was a scene of mad dissi pation for weeks together, Wine ran like water, and a hundred deviltries were con.' stantly perpetrated. A gentleman told me only yesterday that he once saw the MarqUis open a knife which contained several ex tremely sharp blades, and put it in the, coat pocket of one of his guests while dancing a ball. The result soon_ after was &hand cut, and gashed in a score of places. This was a minor pleasantry of the wretched yoUng nobleman. At other times'he would take down a valuable family painting and set it nissin his own lawn'and fire at it. One year be NVOn seventy thousand pounds, and the next he lost more than sa hundred thou sand. There' Is often to be seen in the Hay market of a night, a Captain Scott, who once won as much in a similar manner and who now wanders \about with frequently not half a dollar in his pocket to bity him a dinner. Strange to say;,even when he had the largest stake in the issue of a race, the Marquis rarely showed any\ interest in, the running, but =would would lean or, sit listlessly looking on, with a cigarette between his lips, and nursing himself, as it were, against the welcome summerbreeze, even then too nip ping for his shattered frame." s RAILWAYS IN GREAT Burrem.--A blue book just issued by the British Governirient contains some interesting statistics, in. Tef creme to the railway companies of Great Britain -and Ireland. It appears that the authorized capital -of the railWnys in the United Kingdom amounts to $3,214,267,040, and the 'paid in capital to $1,659,851,640. The totitl-working expenditures of the year 1867 were $90,244,760, and the total receipts were 8197,399,995, leaving as the net re ceipts $98,155,285. During the year 1867 there were 209 persons killed and 795. pe rsons injured on the railways' in the United Kingdom. There were sixteen eolllsiiins between passenger trains and torty-one hti tween passenger trains and freight trains. The amount _paid as compensation fur per sonal injuries to the pits4engers, spisiug out of these collisions reached $1,036,7/45, NO ACTION 'US been. 114.1. by the Bennie Finanee Committee upon the ease of Mr. Cummings us Commissioner .of Internal Revenue.

DECEMBER 19; 1868. 4 Proptieedlmpririement.: The •-r isfiliit - 619iiiPiiVimaiii < which has been so apparent in our" city during the Past Year. has not yet exhausted itself but on the contrary seems to have taken new life. It has not evinced itself in public affairs only, but is widely disseminated among our citizens as is clearly evident from the many private or individual enterprises, in the way of fine buildings, throughout the city. The latest enterprise of a public character is the proposition to widen Fourth avenue from Smithfield to Wood str3eta by adding 4 feet to it from the ]otabn the North side. The project is a pretty extensive one, it is true. : Wit it appears to meet 'with very general favor on the part of those interested, and if it is ever to be done, can be accomplish ed at a less cost at the present time than at any future period. ,Trre greater portion of the banking houses in the city are now on that avenue; it can boast of the finest build ings. In the city 'and if the proposition to inerease its width meets with a favorable consideration and is adopt ed, many other fine buildings, equal and perhaps superior to those which now grace it will be erected. The expense to be incurred in making the improve ment, Will not be se, great as might at first be antleipated, from the fact that several of the hest buildings on the north side of the street Will not be interfered with or dam age, bid rather improved, and tbe value in- . crease' as they now stand four feet further back than the other buildings on that side of the Street. We are informed that a oom irlittee hint been appointed 'by the parties' interested to make an examination of the prolierty and ascertain the probable coat of the project before any definite action is taken. The parties inquired will of course receive coMpensation in' damages, which will be assessed upon the property bene fited. We noticed in our , preambulations yes terday. that the rubbish of lumber, mor tar boxes, brick, dm., firc., whim' genet.- ally obstruct the sidewalk during the con struction of a new -building,- is in a great many cases allowed .to remain after the buildings have been completed to such an exteptfits to do away with the necessity for lumbering up the sidewalk with the mate rial used in their construction. This should not be so. The owners or builders of the structures should be com pelled to clear the sidewalks of ail such obstructions at the earliest practicable mo ment. It is a great injustice for pedestri ans to be compelled to,walk in the centre or on the opposite side of the street in pas sing a new building until all the inside carpenter work,painting, graining, glazing, cleaning out, etc., etc., is completed and the house occupied by tenants. After the heavy brick and carpenter work and plastering is finished the eideivalks could be put in passable condtition and the remainder go on unimpeded.' As long as the necessity exists, no complaint will be made. We are infbrmed that -there is an ordi nance requiring builders to remove allrub blab 'from the street in front of each build ing in a certain number of days after It has been closed In. By, all means let it be rigidly enforced. • 110 LISPENARD ST., , NEW YORK, October 13, 1868.
