instant snow fell here accompanied by muck thun-
der. About the middle, of the night the inhabi-
taots were awakened by a subterrantous noise,
and soon afterwards one of the most dreadful
eruptions commenced that has been witnessed for
20 years. The inhabitants of Torre del Greco, of
l'Anmenziata, sod even of Portici, experienced the
greatest disquietude, apprehending the fate of Her...
cultoeum and Pompeii. The lava,however, fortu-
nately divided itself into five torrents, and flowed
to the foot of the mountain for the space of a league.
The crater is much enlarged, a part of its brink
having fallen into the Gulpb. Oa the 7th the
lava still continued to flow. • -

We 'received sometime since en Artiide which
we insert this day, as it appears to be of great
importance to our Commercial Interests, and the
prosperity of our Colonial Possessions. As we
do not profess to be sufficiently acquainted with
the subject in question, we deemed it proper
to consult some of our mercantile Readers,
whose knowledge and experience might enable
them to afford such information as would deserve
the attention of Government. The article is taken
from a public Journal of Halifax, Nova Scotia,
entitled 'l' ite Fees PRESS. We have been parti-
cularly desired by our mercantile connexions
to give it insertion, and therefore we now,
comply with their request, not doubting that our
Admiralty Department, which is distinguished fur
knowledge, experience, and activity, will examine
the subject with zeal and decide with judgment.
Indeed, we have heard that the 'subject has al-
reedy been discussed, and that Halifax is to be
restored to its former state, a .citentustance, we
ire assured, which will afford much plesbure in
this Country as well as in that qtt.irter, anti emi-
nently conciiice to our Comusercid Prosperity.
