A NARROW ESCAPE.— Early on Wednesday morning
a fire broke out in one of the bedrooms at the West End
Natal, lei Wilton.road, Salisbury. The young man
occupying the room had fallen asleep, leaving a lighted

a style combining brilliancy will expression, were fully
displayed and appreciated.
A TERRIBLE WRECK has occurred before the sad
season at which we are aecuatoined to expect inch
disasters. The steam vessel Garonne, trading between
Bordeaux and Liverpool, went on the Buck's reef in
Mount's Flay on Friday night; and in • very little time
thirteen out of her fifteen passengers, with the captain,
the MAO, and two stewarda, were diowned. It was •
dark night, with a strore wind and rolling sea. The
Garronne was a quick ship, and had really overrun the
reckoning of those on b art ; hut they were looking
out for the English coast, end getting the lead ready,
when both the captain and the mate soddenly saw the
land. The steamer was going at ten or eleven knots,
and, though the engines were reversed for as long •
time as two minoten, the ship struck hard upon the
reef, about a mile end a half from Lamorna Cove,
Mount's Bay. The frightened paaengers hurried on
deck, and gathered half-dressed on the pop, when the
eta instantly tvgan to wash them away. Tne crew
launched three boats in so great a burry that in one of
them they had no oars or rowlocks, and, as we have
said, all of their number but the captain, two stewards,
and the mate escaped. This portion of the narrative
does outlook well. The crew seem to have taken very
Insufficient means to save the miserable landamen. The
occupants of the port lifeboat say that for an hour and
• half after they had drifted from her they saw the
lights of the Garonne at her mast-head. No doubt the
hour was one of terrible dismay and uproar, and there
was little time to shame down with reflection the
scramble for life; bat when we read of the eaptain's
refusing to come away, and of the group of poor women
left alone and helpless on the deck, shrieking as the
waves took them one by one, while every man of the
crew makes his escape, we are of opinion that the
Garonne was not manned with English sailors, or
else that, in that awful moment, they forgot their
blool and breed.

EARTHQUainfI IN THZ SANDWICH ISLANDIL—The
New York papers contain harrowing account' of volcanic
eruptions in the Sandwich Island.. On the 28th if
March one hundred earthquake shooks were felt, and
during the two months following two thousand cheeks
occurred. The craters of Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, the
volceno from which the erruption took plies, vomited
fire, rock, and lava, and a river of rent-hot lava, five or
lii miles long, flowed to the sea at the rate of ten miles
per hour, destroying everything and forming an island
In the sea. A new crater, two miles wide, opened, and
threw rocks and streams of fire a thousand feet into
the air, and from it streams of lava rolled to the sea. At
one time the illumination was visible fifty miles distant
At Waischina the earth opened in many places, and •
tidal wave sixty feet high swept • quarter of • mile
Inland, and carried away human beings, houses, and
everything moveable before it. In all one hundred lives
were lost, beside a thouund horses and retie. At
Haoloola Landing the elope and part of the summit of
a hill 1500 feet high were lifted bodily and thrown over
the tops of the tree., • distance of one thousand feet.
At Wahoinee • crank opened extending from the sea
to as far u the eye weld reach, overwhelming houses,
sten. and hundreds of animals. During the several
shocks of earthquake on the 2181 of April no living
creature stood. Bodies on the ground *ere tossed about
like Indian•rubber balls. On the Kan °out not one
atone stands upon another, and immense precipices arc
levelled with the eaith. The base of the volcano is about
barrio and desolate upset, the gases arising from the
rent earth having completely destroyed all vegetation.
The earthquake shooks ware felt in all of the Sandwich
lauds, but only around Hanna Los was the effect
disaatrous.
