ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS.

NAPLES, OCT. Rl.—Yesterday at sunrise Vesu-
vius was still tranquil, though fur two days the
water of the surrounding wells hart entirely.disap-
peered ; but a few seconds icier 12 o'clock, smoke,
mixed with lava as usual, begun to appear. About
two o'clock a dreadful internal nurse, was heard
throughout the whole neighbourhood, and this noise
continued to increase until midnight. In fine, at
half-past three o'clock a terrrible explosion wok
place trout the upper cone, preceded by repeated
shocks and internal howling from the mountain.—
The shocks increased gradually to sunrise, and
about two hours after sunrise, a torrent of lava
shout a mile broad was perceived, and extending as
far as a mile and u haif between the Casa de la
havorite and Itesina. The terror of the peasants,
and of the people who at this season occupy their
country houses, was so peat, that the road tout
Portici to Naples was filled with carriages convey-
ing families and vain:l6l,s front the scow of danger.
According to the latest accounts, the mountain was
undergoing great convulsions, and though the wea-
ther was bCIVIIC, a nick cicaul of ashes and atones
darkened all the lett bid.; of the crater, and exhi-
bited u spectacle at once picturesque and awful.
OCT. 13.—Tht: eruption of Vesuvius is terrible.
—The torrents of lava which flow towards Resinu
have already covered 100 acres of ground. The
showers of darken the sky, and Lill even in the
streets of the capital. The stones which have fallen
at Buseutre Cu./ have accumulated to the height of
palms;five and the evuptions of stones are fre-
quent, and the sounds which issue from the moun-
tain are frightful. All the people who lived near
the volcano have fled. About 800 persons front
the neighbouring villages have been received by
order of the polwe and Prefecture.
OCT. 24.—Whiie we arc UCiting the sky is ex-
tremely obscure, and the shower of ashescontinucs.
P.S.—We learn, on official authority, that the
mountain no longer throws out either bitumen,
fire, or ashes; that Purtici, Eesina, and Torre del
Greco are eelivercd. On the side of Summa only,
the obscurity is still considerable, and the ashes fail
iu great abundance.

The Admiralty has acceded to an application for
regular a.nvoys to the trade to the windward parts

A letter has been received from Mr. Salt, dated
at Cairo in August List, with the following infir-
mation :—" A roll of Papyrus, incasuriug about
eleven inches in length and five in circumference,
has been discovered in the island of Elephantina,
and purchased for Mr. W. Bankes. It is found to
contain a portion of the latter part of the Iliad,
very fairly written in large capitals, such as were in
use during the time of the Potolennes, and under
the earlier Roman Emperors. The lines arc num-
ben•d, and there are Scaa in the margin. A copy
is to be made from this valuable MS. at Cairo, that
it may serve as a duplicate, in case of any accident
on its voyage to England. The person who pro-
cured this treasure tiir Mr. Baukes is a young man
who has been iu his employ for some years, to ex-
plore such part of the antiquities and geography of
the Fast as were dell =ascertained by Mr. Bankes
himself."
