to narrate our visit to Pompeii, which, li
Mount Vesuvius, far exceeded unr anticipa.

the ruins of ancient noose, we expected to

sometimes it is prudent to porsir.t on paying
only about one-fourth of the original demand.

pine, Favorite, T..rre del tir..vo, Muni. and
Torre del Annuriziata jo► the gates of Pom
peii, ito the rear of Vesuvius, a distance of
fourteen miles, which was starompliabad in
about two hours.
The whole of this route through these
towukt„ must of them being situated on the
Lase and sides of Vesuvius, was like passing
through a cuntiuuous street of Naples, paved
all the way, and all connecting with each
other so closely that, without a precious
study of the locality, the change of cuporate
limits could not be discerned. The road
coasts the Pastern shore of the bay to the
right, with Vesuvius tk., the loft ; but it is so
completely shut out from the sett by thedead
walls of the numerous villas, overgrown
palaces, and large unornamehted houses,
which stretch in an ulmust unbroken line as
far os Torre del Annunziata, that it has more
tho character of a iong, uninteresting, dusty
street, titan of a high post rued. The crowds
of villagers were, however, interesting to
look upon, a-lth the wine shops, macaroni
establishments, and other quaint spectacles
to the eye of a stranger.
We were wet at the gate near the Temple
of Nept u ne, by one of the guides appointed
by the Government, and entered at once into
the excavated streets of the ancient city of
Pompeii, which mss completely buried and
destroyed, with a portion of its inhabitants,
in the year 7 9, nearly 184./0 years ago. by a
continued shower of hot ashes from Vesuvi
us, which is tire miles off. It was so aim
plotely hurled that its locality was nut known
until the soar 1784, when the ruins were ac
cidentally discovered. About one-faurth•of
the city has since been excavated, with the
diseovery of many rich treasures of art, and
with circumstances that led to the cunt fiction
that a tone of morality prevailed within its
walla that must have rendered it descrying
the tate of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Pliny the younger, who was a resident of
Pompeii at the time of its destruction, gives
an Interesting account in his well-known let

uncle. the elder Pliny, distinguiblied as a

vaper. darted out along train of fire, resemb,

Soon after the cloud seemed to descend and
cover the whole ocean. Immediately niter
darkness overspread them, not like that of a
cloudy night, or when there is no moon. hut
of a room when it is shut up and all the lights
are extinct. Nothing was to be heard but
the shrieks of women, the screams and the
cries of men : some calling for their children,
others for their parents and others for their
husbands, and only distinguishing each other
by their voices one lamenting, his own fate,
another that of his family; some wishing to
die from the very fear of dying: some lifting
their hands to the gods, but the greater part
imagining that the last and eternal night
was come which was to destroy the gods and
the world together. At length a glimmering
light appeared, which they imagined to be
rather the forerunner of an approaching
burst of flames, as in truth it was, than the
return of day. The fire, however, fell at a
distance. and they were again immersed in
thick darkness, with a heavy shower of ashes
raining upon them, which they were obliged
to sliake off, otherwise they would have been
crushed and buried in the heap. At last
this dreadful derbies* was dissipated by de
greet, like a cloud of smoke; thereat day re
turned. and even the sun appeared, though
as under a partial eclipse. Every oldeet
which preeasted itself to their weakened eyes
was covered over with white ashes, as with a
deep snow. The mountain afterwards threw
out deluges of heated water, charged with
the dry light ashes which were suspended in
the air. This water as it reached the soil.
carried with kin its comae the cinders which
had fallen, and thus deluged Pompeii with a
soft pasty volcanic mud or alluvium, which
penetrated into plums where neither scoria
nor ashes mould have reached; and thus com
pleted the work of destruction.
This is the substance of the description
given by an eye witness, and is valuable as
affording an evidence of the character of the
eruption. This eruption also overwhelmed
Herculaneum with lava., some of the ruins of
which have been di covered about a mile dis
tant. On amount of the dillieulty of excava
ting the lava. but use subterranean excavation
ham been made exhibiting the interior of two
or three houses and temples.
Having entered the area of the excavated
ruins, we were greatly surprised to find them
iu so excellent a state of preservation. We
found ourselves walking through long paved
streets, just as they were when thronged with
inhabitants, 1800 years ago, with rows of
houses on both aides, closely built up in every
direction. The streets are extremely narrow
and it is clear that not more than one vehicle
could paw at a time in any bat the principal
throughfares. They are . paved with irregu
lar block., of lava , closely fitted together, and
bordered by' a narrow pavement and curb-
stone, elevated a foot or more above the car
riage war. The streets are about as wide as
'I.-adieu's alley, Baltimore, and even the
principal througlifares are not more than two
thirds as wide as the narrow part of Holliday
attest. Stepping stones, like those in Balti
more, are frequently seen in she middle of
the streets fur the convenience of foot pas
sengers in time of rain. Stones for mount
g homes are also found at the side of the
pavements, and holes are found in the curbs
oppwite the principal houses and shops, for
fastening the halter. Of the streets that
have been excavated, five may be considered
at tte principal throughfares of the city.—
Tle sidewalks are of bricks, and occasionally
stuccoed.
The private houses are generally small
and low, and deficient in all that would be
considered wnifort at the present day, though
it is evident that the whole space within the
walls, which are two miles in circumference,
was closely occupied by buildings. The
ground doors of the larger houses were gen
erally occupied as shops. The walls and roof
were often decorated with great splendor,
and the pavement was always of marble or
mosaics. In the centre of the space occupied
by the smallest houses, there was testily 'al
ways a sort of wart yard fur garden and
Rowers. The rooms generally would be con
sidered as closets at the present day, the
walls of which are covered with rich frescoes
and painting. most of them in excellent state
of preservation. and all evincing • state of
immorality beyond any thing that can be eon
/mired in the present age No houses have
however, yet been discovered, which can be
regarded as having been the dwellings of the
poor, and it remains to be proved by farther
excavations, whether the lower orders were
located in a separate qsarter of the city, or
whether Pompeii was really free from nay
pauper population.
The shops were very fatal', and when first
excavated, many of them had the names .it•
their owners written over diem, mostly in
red paint; others had sign., to denote the
trade that was carried on in them. Thui, a
pa. indicated a milk shop:or dairy; two men
esrrying a largo jug, indicated a wine shop;
two men fighting, indicated a gladiatorial
school; a man whipping a boy hoisted on
another's back, indicated a school master,
and checkers denoted the door-post of the
publican; The houses of Lad repute were
evidently marked by the authorities with
an indelicate carved figure at the curb
stone.
The wine shops are very numerous, and
the marble counters, in which were built up
large earthenware jars, each capable of hold
ing nearly as much as a barrel, are still
istandiug in good condition. These c waters,
with prenings through their tops, through
which to din up the wine, are generally
square, with a space in the centte, in which
the vender stood to supply his customers.—
There arc two untloubttsi restaurants or cook
shop., where articles were evoked and 5,..1,1
nert,ms the counter. There is also a barber's
shop, with a stone block in the centre, on
which the Pompeians sat to bo shared.
The theatres and amphitheatres are on a
most extensive scale, and are in an excellent
state of preservation, though none of theni
are equal to the Volliaeum at home. The
interior of the great amphitheatre was capa
ble of seating 10,000 persons. The part now
excavated is about one-fourth of the city, and
contains two forums, nine temples, two ba
allies, throe plazas, en amphitheatre, two
theatres, a prison, double baths, nearly 100
houses and *bops, several villas, a considem
tile portion of the walls, seven gates, and
*boats dosen tombs. The tombs are autinde
of the walls, and are on a scale of great nag
uificenee, the vaults under them having re
ceptacles for urns to hold the ashes of the
dead, the mode of burial mom; the Posurealm"
having been to barn the babas and deposit
the ashes in funeral urns.
The walls of the city are built of large
blocks of Lava, and of line workmanship.—
The upper mums, however. have barn fre
quently broken and rudely repaired. showing
the effect of breaches fre the latteriervams
of an enemy. The
_towers were square. and
apparentlyhave been of peat height, having
doubtless beau overthrows by the earth
quakes that preceded tlif destruction. sad

have been a splendid establishment, decorat
ed in the highest style of art, and embellish
ed with statuary, paintings, fountain, bathing
room and garden. Beneath the portico, and
bi!low the level of the gardens, was the wine
cellar, a long archway, not less than 100 feet
in length, ..11 as perfect a state as when last
occupied by its owner. A long row of wine
jars, each about four feet high, now stands in
this vault, incrustated in lain against the wall.
On the night of the eruption the owner of
this splendid mansion appears to have lost
the love of kindred in the love of life, fur his
skeleton was found, with that of an attend
ant near the garden gate, the one still hold
ing in his bony grasp the key of the
the other carrying a purse containing 100
gold and silver coins and some silver vases.—
While be was thus endeavoring to escape to
the sea shore, the members of his family,
whom he had abandoned to their fate, took
refuge in the wine cellars, where seventeen
of their skeletons were found near the door,
as it they had endeavored to retrace their
steps after finding that the place afforded no
shelter from the eery tempest. Prom the
gold bracelets on the necks and arms of near
ly all these skeletons, it would appear that
they were mostly females. Two were the
skeletons of chil dren, whose skulls still re
tained some portions of beantiful blonde hair.
After they had perished probably from suffo
cation, .the floor of the cellar was inundated
with a tiros alluvium, which hardened upon
the bodies and took casts, ant only of their
forms, but even of the most delietve texture of
the lineu they wore, and of the jewels which
adorned their persons. One cut of a young
girl, part of which I saw In the museum tog
day, with her skull, possessed exceeding ale
glum. (Ararat ; the neck and breast especially
were perfect models of female beauty.
"How sadly echoing to the stranger's tread,
These wallsrespond, like voices from the dead."
We also esatuined the spot were the skele
tons of • mother end three children were
found. all closely folded in each others arms,
and covered with gold ornaments. elaborately
worked and enriched with pendant pearls of
great value.
Tho ruins of a tavern are quite interesting.
It has numerous apartments in the rear,
which served probably as drinking rooms, as
one of the walls contained announcements Of
the public festivals of the day. The shop it
self contained a furnace, steps for arranging
the glasses and a marble counter which still
exhibits the stains of the liquor and the marks
of the glasses. The figure of Mercury was
painted on various parts of the house, and
some of the walls are covered with proper
names scratched by the customers upon the
plastering which covered other names of pre
vions scribblers.
The House of the Surgeon was found well
supplied with surgical Instruments, of forty
different varieties. The public bake h o us e
was also examined with great interest. It
him four stone mills in it, something after the
style of "The Little Giant," of Meyers. llibb
&Co. The oven stands in a perfeet condition
still, and is precisely after the fashion of the
bake ovens of the present day. It had wood
sad kindling in it, apparently just ready fur
lighting.
The House of Sallust is one of the most
magnificent of private residences within the
wails,
and had attached to it a real prototype
of the Oriental Harem, every part of it most
elaborately decorated. In the adjoining lane
was found the skeleton of a young female,
supposedto be that of the fair being who was
enshrined in this sanctum with so mutsh pri
vacy and magnificence. She bad four rings on
one of her fingers, set with engraved item" ;
fine gold bracelets, two earrings, and thirty
two pieces of money were lying near her.--
Close at hand were found the skeletons of
throe other females, supposed to bare been
her slaves.
The public baths are very floe end in an
excellent state
,ot preseffation. One has a
vaulted ceiling, richly painted red and blue,
with a ould water basin of white marble in
the centre, 12 feet 10 inches in diameter and
2 feet 9 inches deep. The warm bath is en
tared from the disrobing room, and nearly
corresponds with it in rise. There is also a
vapor bath, the walls and chambers being
ounetructed hollow, so as to allow . the steam
to circulate freely from the furnaces. The
women's baths are at the other side of the
furnaces, and are arranged and decorated in
the same manner as those for the men. No
less than 500 stone lamp. were found in one
corridor of this establishment.
The forum is a spacious and imposing spot
surrounded by the Temple of Jupiter, Temple
of N'enns, sad the Senate Chamber, It was
ornamented **three sides by a broad colon
ade of Grecian Doric architecture. The Sen
ate Chamber, or Bassalica, was 200 feet long
and 80 feet broad, and in a vault under its
stairway, used for prisoners during the
progress of a trial, were found two skele
tons with their armies manacled. The Pan
theon had also evidently been a most elegant
structure, it having been used as a residence
fur the Augustols as well as fur religious pu:-
poses.
The ruins of the House of Venus and Mars
are distinguished fur a famous well of pure wa
ter. said to possess great mineral qualities,
1120 feet deep, not at all affected by the
change it has undergone.
That which attracted most attention was
the famous temple of Isis. The court pre
sents all the arrangements for the Isis wor
ship. In one end is the sacred well of lustral
purification, to which there was a descent by
steps. Near it is the altar, on which were
found the burnt bones of human Tied= who
had just been sacrificed. In a niche of the
stallwas a figure of Ilarpocrates, with his I
fingers on his lips to enjoin silence upon the
worshippers iu regard to the mysteries they I
might witness. In another part was the fig
uro of Isis in purple drapery, partly gilt,
holding a bronze sistrum and a key. In one
of the rooms a skeleton was found holding a
sacrificial axe with which he had cut through
two walls iu the vain attempt to escape from
the eruption, but perished before ho could
reach the third. The subterranean passage
and secret stairs by which the priest
could obtain access to the interior of the altar,
and deliver the oracles as if they proceeded
from the statue of Isis herself, we examined
with great interest.
The barracks near the gate was undoubted
ly the great headquarters of the Pompeian
troops, lathe guard room were found four
skeletons with their legs fastened in iron
stocks ; in the sleeping apartments numer
ous helmets of bronze and iron,, with bolts,
lances, swords, strigils,leather bolts, ite. In
the rooms of the otsoers above were found
helmets of various kinds, some of the most
exquisite workmanship, with swords and vari
ous articles of female dress and ornaments, of
the richest kind, proving that the families of
the officers lived in the Barrsoks with them.
Among the personal ornaments found were
two necklaces of mtunive gold, one of which
was set with twelve. emeralds, several gold
rings, ear-rings, end bracelets containing
Preemie stows . gilt pins for the hair s and
chests of ins linen sad cloths of gold. We

skeletons of men, women and children. 'The

But I hare not time to carry the reader
further through these interestingruins, which
abound e% erywhere in evidence of the highest
interest in architecture, art, sculpture and
painting, thousands of the first specimens of
which are to be found. in the 31useum Bar-•
bouico in Naples, contained in about 100
rooms, which occupied a day in giving to
them only a cursory examination. The mar
ble and bronze statuary exhibit a very high
state of art, whil.l statues of the Heathen
Goddesses are remarkable for their historical
interest. In short this museum has always
been regarded as the most interesting in the
world, as remarked by an English writer, in
a work on the subject, fur here we find the
furniture, the ornaments, the Gods, the baste,
the utensils, the paintings of a great people,
whose city was overthrown and buried under
thick ashes almost 2,000 years ago ; their
books, their mama/ instruments, even their
bread and their baked fruits in its pristine
form, only blackened by the action of ire, are
to be seen. In contemplating these, we re
trace with a sort of fascination'all their habits
and customs, looking with double interest on
such as assimilate with those of our own day,
thus in idea connecting ourselves with them;
and we dwell upon the varied objects pre
sented to our view, all of which are curious
and many beautiful, with sensations so live
ly, so real, that we feel as if the people still
lived, still were among us. Yours, &a,

It may be worth while here to giro a brief
sketch of the antecedents of Joseph (hal
beldi.
Ile was born at Nice, fifty-two years ago.
and entered the Sardinian nary at an early
age. In 1834 ho was compelled to fly from
Genus, because of his complicity in a liberal
conspiracy. After two )ears residence in
Marseilles, he went to offer his services to the
Bey of Tunis, but received such insufficient
encouragement. that he sion Left Africa'and
went to South America, where he commanded,
for the Republic of Uruguay, the squadron
destined to Set against Buenos Ayres. When
the Revolution of 1848 broke out, Garibaldi,
with the remains of the Italian legion who
had fought under him in Smith America,
fought on the side of Italian independence.—
In Piedmont, in the Tyrol, and in Rome,
(which be gallantly defended against the
French troops..) his value was distinguished.
Mis, indeed, is
A spirit that can dare
The deadliest form that death can take,
And dare it—for the daring's sake.
After Rome was taken, Garibaldi disbanded
his little company of adherents and went to
New York, where he entered into business.—
Thenoe he returned to South America, and
oommanded the Peruvian navy for some time.
Ile has lived, with his children, in an island
near Sardinia for the last five years. Ilia
wife, a woman of undaunted courage, died, by
his side, from an Austrian ball in Italy. At
the sound of the war trumpet, Garibaldi re
turned to his native land, was recognised and
encouraged, and the volunteers hastened to
enrol themselves tinder his command. Na
poleon and Victor Emmanuel have great re
liance in his ability and bravery, and he
seems destined to play a leading part in the
e% cuts of the fast-coming time.
Of lofty stature, strung frame, brsveheark
and generous spirit, Garibaldi is said to be
the best guerilla leader now in Europe. The
value of his services and example, in Lom
bardy and Piedmont, at this crisis, is incalcu
lable.

New York, in the person of a man named
Karl Saul, who it is asserted. has

Smelling a Snapper.
Not a little amusing excitement prevailed
about noon of yesterday, at the fish stand at
Second and Pine streets, owing to the enact
ment of a funny, though painful scene, that
occurred there, between a stupid kind of a
Dutchman and a Delaware snapper. The
man, whose name is Frits, after making a
tour of the market house, finally arrived at
the stand aforesaid, and hilted. lie had
heard of snappers, snapper soup, and other
kind of "snaps," but he had never seen
more than the shell of an original inhabitant
of the marshy fens of the silvery Delaware.
- deal are hogs vat you calls schnnp

5 14.11 v dispenser of
such singular looking amphibious creatures.
Yes," replied the seller ;" would you :Ike

"Yaw, if they ish geof vons, rind you sells
him sheep fur soup for mine schiMren."
"Oh, they are good," replied the denier.
at the sane time picking up a eleyer sized
one by his stumpy tail—" fresh this morning
--41acellent order, and the cheapest kind of
food. They'll make you fatter than lager
beer, sad far more wholesome."
Frits. "Well, dat ish gnot, lager beer is
goot, un it makes me feel so goot—if der
echnappers is better, vy I takes von. Eh.
vat you ask for him." Here Frits extended
his right hand and held up the unpretending
specimen of 'bell bound, animated nature.—
" I what'll* him," at the same time putting
it to the nasal protuberance of his counte
nance.
The dealer said nothing—the bystanders
observing the passing events, congregated
around, and steed in silent admiration of
Idynbeer welling a snapping turtle. Ile
applied his nose to the shell, then the soft
parts, and then elevating the candidate for
soup, brought his nose in close priiimity to
the head thereof. In a moment the snapper
exhibited his natural propensities, and poor
Fritz's nose was firmly clenched within its
strong and willing jaws. The botny and
sharp beak of a snapping turtle is the only
thing it has fur purposes of defence, and in
this instance, as might well be expected, it
held on like death to the mums of a deoeased
son of Ethiopia.
Fritz danced around and performed sundry
gyrations, that would have made first class
waltzers bide their heads, exclaiming " Got
for tam—de ditle—takes him aray—takes
him og—my none ish hit wit de
dosliont rants dor soup."
Butchers', hucksters, dealers, truckers,
and people generally, cor.gregated around the
terrified Dutchman. Some laughed,l others
roared. some shook all over with merriment.
A jolly " pot gutted " dealer in perk and
hams, overcome with emotions of fun and lie
light, fairly rolled on the pavement ; ever Fan
anoint Quaker lady smiled. Finally, a stout
Ilibernian, who couldn't help enjoying a
hearty laugh. came to the rescue of the pain
stricken, terrified Teuton.
"De Alien, men, the baste mast come
from the fellow's nose; giie me yrs knife,
and cut the lifeguard's head nit"
" No, you don't," %aid the dottier; "pry
his jaws open—take porn fingers."
" It's not the likes ov me as will put my
