Yesterday the publicans, at whose houves the
persona lately convicted of administering unlawful
Dallis were used to assemble, received notice from
the Head Police Office, that their licenser would
be immediately withdrawn.
In our Paper of yesterday we stated that a Lady
was confined in College-street Police Office, for
robbing a person unknown, of property to a consi-
derable amount. The sum was erroneously mated
at 44,51. 10s.—it should have been 5131. 11r.

Mr. Goodisson, chief peace officer of the Sib
Division, assisted by two officers of the same esta-
blishment. were out the whole of Monday night
(which was exceedingly wet and stormy) in search
of the property, and by their siairentitted exertions
secured, and yesterday returned it to the owner (a

ABSENTEES.

At a moment like the present, when Ireland feels
the misfortunes occasioned by •bseutee landlords
more severely than ever—when the minds of the
people are strongly prejudiced against the payment
of tithes and taxes—when they are hardly able to
pay any rent, it will scarcely be credited, that iu
the north, not twenty stiles from Belfast, nor one
hundred from the village of Gilford, the agent of
an absentee landlord refused to take rent offered to
him the day after it fell due, because it was to be
paid in Belfast note., alleging that no other than
Natimal mates is a legal tender. These Belfast notes
are every where considered perfectly safe—they are
payable in Dublin as well as at Belfast ; and such
as they are, very few landlords or rational agents
would refuse them, even in the south of Ireland.—
And yet this stickler for legal tender absolutely re.
fused to take them from ■ neighbour, a widow lady,
aho considered herself very happy to get them from
her own tenants in the same neighbourhood, and by
whose defalcations she has lost 2001. in a short
time out of u very limited income.—( Freeman's

ERUPTION OF AI47UNT VESUVIUS.

[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]

NAPLIIII, OCTOBaII, 20.
Prayers and thanksgivings were this day rendered
to Heaven in the church of St. Januarius. for hay.
lug preserved this city from the danger with which
it was threatened by one of the stunt dreadful erup-
tions of Vesuvius that has occurred within the me-
mory of m.iti. The thsnk•g+vtng will continue for
three days ; the assemblage of the devout was im-
mense.

The columns of fire, stones, and ashes, which
the volcano has vomited forth for many days past,
have been of less magnitude to-day ; ■nd there is
every prospect of a speedy termination of this terrible
phenomenon. We have collected the folloling par-
ticulars respecting the progress of the loot— •
At first it flowed in a stream of the breath of
half a mile in a direction west from the mosisitain,
■nd after destroying a great extent of ground, it
stopped et a place called Monte. A second body
of lava proceeded from the sirue crater, and at the
same time as the one already ntentiourd, and
co►ered the old lavas on the side of Borco-Trr-Esse
without doing any mischief. A thiul stream issued
from a new crater which the eruption hail opened,
and stopped near the first; and filially a fourth
stream burst from the old crater called Vulcan's
Month, and took the direction of La Torre.
It has been remarked of this eruption, that the
matter thrown from the volcano, taken in a 'nesse,
far exceeds the free in quantity. So numerous
were the stones east forth from the volcstio, that
they filled the consular road from Recline to the
tower of Annunciate, end blocked up the passage.
The police, the members of the Government, and
the Austrian soldiers, have tie:died each other in
zeal end activity in endeavouring to remove this ob-
struction. The eruption of cinders and smoke et
this moment presents the appearance of a very
thick and elevated bled( cone, which the wind
blows towards Sonatina, Ottatatio, and Nola. The
number of individuals who fled from theme villages
augmented considerably yesterday. Last night
about two thousand of these uolotturiate peisoos
received pecuniary assistance.

OCTOBER 26.

We expect that the eruption will soon entirely
cease. The columns of cinders and smoke are de.
creasing, and the detonation are lets Irequent and
loud than heretofore. Most of the people who had
led are returning to their homes. It rained co-
piously lost night, which has inn' the effect of puri-
fying the atriso•phere, which before was filled with
clouds of black ashes. The lain, ion, has washed
the plants. which have assumed their natural co-
lour and appearance, which under climate is, even
even at the rnd of autumn, to striking and agreea-
ble. The summit of Vesuvius is risible i rod it
appears that the dreadful eruption which has taken
place has turu away a pan of the crest of the
volcano. ocrossa 28.

The eruption is completely at an end, but vio-
lent explosions of cisiders still continue. The Ma
habitant• of the country have returned to their
homes. Purtici and la Torre del Grieco have ►uf..
fered no other injury than what ►rues from their
being in a great part covered with ashes and stones.
A portion of the territory of Resin, is covered with
lava, bat only where lira had formerly lain. The
tower of the Anisunsiata has sustained inj uti, a which
it will not be easy either to estimate or repair. At
Outlaws th► fire has consumed fifty acres of eouo.
These are all the details which have reached us.

[EXTRACT OF A LITTER]
A few data ago, the American brig /fatiourh, front
Santiago de Cuba for Piiiliidelphis, fell in with Ilse
ontrauders oft Cape Antonio; the captain and ...su-
percargo were plrcrd over live coals to torture them
jaw a confession of what 'notary they had; and they
Pere finally rubbed to the amount of 17,000 dollar,
Twenty-four prisoners (taken from other vesselei
were then put on board, without provisions, an•
they were ned-red to steer for New ()leans, on pain
of death, if di•cocered approaching Harann:ih. la
this Inflation they were found by the brig Ardent,
Captain Jones, of and born Grenada, bound to 114-
vannaha which Trawl the neat day fell in with tf e
same pirates, woe nabbed of ail her clothing and
arid loose articles, the captain cruelly beaten, and
the supercargo forced overboard, but the vessel wee
afterward• liberated with her cargo, connoting of
jerk beef, &c. untouched. The same morning,
this pirate had captured the French ship Venvs,
from Bourdeaux, and robbed her of a valuable
cargo of dry goods.
What is most remarkable in these captures, and
has excited the greatest indignation here, is, that
they were made In sight of two welbartned letters of
marque Spanish ships, called the Montrearna rod
the Brilliante African°, without a single effort on
the part of these vessels to check the robbery. The
French ship was carried amongst the Collerado
Rock., where sire brig Vittoria, of London, cap-
tured some months since, still lire, as a store
ship for there borcaniers. What increases the
scandal of these proceedings is, that the coffee
robbed from the latter brig (the Vittoria), and
other vesselr, amounting, it 4 said, to six hundred
hogsheads, having been offered in vain fur sale, de-
liverable at see, has at length been introduced by
stealth into the very port of Harannah ; a part of it
was seised, in consequence of information lodged,
when, strange to tell, a man of the name of Bar-
redo came forward publicly to claim it as his. A
physician of the name of Bernal declared that he
had sold it to him ; and a surgeon called Monte' de
Sor swore that it was grown on his plantation ; a
place that has never yet produced 80 quintals of
coffee. Of course, the packet was liberated, and
4 now publicly offered. for sale throughout the city.
In a little village called Rigla, in the very harbour
of Havannah, these pirates are sheltered In great
numbers. The Alcaldes protect them. There they
fit out, and there they land their booty with impu-
nity under the very eye of the Government, end not
a single efficient measure has yet been taken to
suppress these disorders. How long will these
things be suffered to go unnoticed by other Go-
vernments ? They may lend one or two ships oft
the coast, but that will do no good ; they may re-
monstrate with the Spanish Government, but that
will have us little effect. The Governor and Au.
shanties here will throw a gloss over the whole, and
make themselves appear as innocent as new-born
babes, and Spain would hare very little influence
and authority. Until some revere steps are taken
by other Governments, and such means resorted to
as will compel the local authorities here to put a
stop to there barbarities, they sill still be conti-
nued, a scandal sod disgrace to the modern world.
These buccaniers are well known, and boast pub-
licly of their gains.
