TRUP7'IC-N OF ItIOUNr. VESUVIUS:* .

NAPLES, OCTOBER 20.
Prayers and thanksgivings were this day rendered to Heaven
in the Church of St. Januarius, for having preserved this city
from the danger with which it was threatened by one of the most
dreadful eruptions of Vesuvius than has occurred within the
memory of man. The thanksgiving will continue for three days;
the assemblage of the devout was immense. The columns of fire,
stones, end ashes, which the volcano has *oinked forth for manf
days past, have been of less magnitude to-day, and there is every
prospect of a speedy termination of this terrible phenomenon.—
lre have collected the following particulars respectirg the pro-
gress of the lava :—At first it flowed in a stream of the breadth
of half a mile in a direction west from the mountain, and, after
destroying a great extent of ground, it stopped at a place called
Monte. A second body of lava proceeded from the same crater,
and at the sante time as the one already mentioned, and covered
the old lavas on the side of llosco-Tre-Case, without doing any
mischief. A third stream issued from a new crater which the
eruption had opened, and stopped near the first; and, finally, a
fourth stream burst from the old crater called Vulcan's Mouth,
and took the direction of La Torre. It has been remarked of
this eruption, that the miner thrown fram the volcano, taken in
a mass, far exceeds the lava in quantity. So numerous were the
stones east forth from the volcano, that they filled the consular
road from Resina to the tower of Annunziata, and blocked up the
Passage. The Police, the Members of Government, and the Aus-
trian soldiers, rivalled each other in endeavouring to remove this
obstruction. The eruption o: cilders and, smoke at this moment
presents the appearance of a v•.. y thick and elevated black cone,
which the wind blows towards Sommat, °nal...in°, and Nola.—
The number of individuals who fled froM these villages aug-
mented considerably yesterday. Last night about two thousand
of the unfortunate persons received pecuniary assistance.
. OCTOBER. 26.—Nire expect that the eruption will soon entirely 4
cease. The columns of cinders and smoke are decreasing, and
the detonations are less frequent and loud than heretofore. Most
of the people who had fled are returning to their homes. It rained
copiously last night, which has had the elk& of purifying the at-
mosOtere, which before was filled with clouds of black ashes.—
The rains too, has washed the plants, which have assumed their
natural colour and appearance, which under our climate is, even
at the' nd of aotuinn, so striking and agreeable. The summit of
Vesuviva is visible, and it appears. the dreadful eruption which
has taken place has torn away a part of the crest of the volcanix
• OCT. 28.--The eruption is completely at an end, but violent
explosionsof cinders Oil continue. The inhabitants of the coun-.
try have returned to their homes. Portici and La Torre del
Grzco have suffered no other injury than what arises from their
bring in a great part covered with sakes and stones. A portion
of the territory of Itiisina is covered with lava, but only where
lava had formerly4ain. The tower of the Annunziata has sus-
tained injuries which, it will not be easy•either to estimate or re-
pair. At Ottaiano the fire has consumed 50 acres of wood.
These•are all the details which have-hitherto reached us. - --
The same date (four in the evening).—The report which we
have just received from Ottaiano informs us of new disastits in
that quarter, and of others with which it Is still menaced. It is ,
nut this fire which is now feared, but terribleoverflowings. •

Mr. eloldsm. id denicd the whole of this story. He remarked
how strange it was that the prisonet and hll companion should
be so well acquainted with his name.
Sir It. Monte said, it was an easy matter to obtain the name
of a Gentleman.
Mr. Goldsmid said, that within the lost few days he had been
accosted by two or three different men in thi street, one of whom
said " How do you do, Mr. Goldsmid? How long have you
been from the country T 4 He attributed this at the time to mere
impertinence, but he now thought differently; It was dreadful
that a man should be 'object to such horrid attacks. •
Sir Sidman Branca—l will answer for it, Sir, you will not
be attacked in this manner again. You have done your duty tog
well for them ; and I wish every man under similar dreamt+
stances would act as you have done.
Mr. Goldsmid said he thought that an innocent man who had
any feeling could have bet one impulse when such an attack woe
made upon him, and that was to seize instantly the ruffian who
daredito accuse him.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial for the misdemean,.
nut, In attempting to extort money. He was recognized by seve-
ral officers as having been often in custody on charges of theft.
GUlLDUALL—Yesterday J. Livehttere, aged 17, was.charged
on suspicion of breaking into the premises of Mr. Chapman, of
Middle-street; Cloth-fair. On Saturday morning the watchman
called a lodger, who discover edthat the iron grating of the cellar
had been removed, and the internal shop door open. Sundry ar.
tides of apparel, and about 7s. in copper, were stolen. The pri-
soner lodges with his brother opposite the prernises,'7and Mr.
•L'hapman's suspicion fell on him, because be had detained the
shop dog in his bed-room the night previous to the robbery, and
when Mr. C. said, in the boy's presence, he would certainly
hang the thief when he caught him, he seemed much alarmed.
Mr. C. than went round to the pawnbrokers', describing the pri-
soner and the property, and he was, In consecluence, stopped at
Mr. Essex's, in Aldersgate-street, offering to pledge some of the
stolen things, in the evening. The prisoner's account was, that
he found the property. Mr. Lovell, of Aldersgate-sire. his
employer, gave hini an excellent character for regularity, in-
dustry, and honesty. He credited his story that he found the
pioperty, and was retdy to continue him in his service. The
brother, with whom be lodged, spoke also as to his general
gond conduct. He called him up about eixo'clock, and be went
out shortly alter, and was at his master's before seven. •Another
circumstance. which tends to chew that the boy was not the
thief is, that some brewer's men, who delivered beer at an ad-
joining public-house, saw the grating on the pavement at six
o'clock, at which time the prisoner was not up, according to his
brother's stitement. Alderman BIRCH thought the affair very
mysterious, and remanded the prisoner.

HATTON.GASDIN:—Yetterday Dr. Watson applied for an
order to see his friend Waddington in Cold Bath Fields Prison.
The Doctor was referred to Bow-street.

Welsh, a constable of the FoundHl district, was severely re%
prim ended. for grossly insulting a most respectable tradesman
and hi, wife, whom he met on their way home, and asking him
whether his companion was his wife or his —7 The Magis-
trate declared, that no constable, patrole, or watchman were
justified in offering the slightest interruption to any persa what-
ever, unless they were committing a breach of the peace. -*-
LANIRrnr-Srsqtr.—Yestirday John Gins was charged with
stealing two ounces of tea, the property of the East India Com-
pany. .The Company have lost great quantities of tea and other
things, supposed to have been taken by the men employed in the
warehouses, ana at length the prisoner was detected as one of
the rohlsitrs, and the charge being fully substantiated, he was
committed for trial to= the Quarter sessions. The prisoner is
-about 60 years of age, and has been in the service of the Com-
pany nearly 25 years. i-lad he reniained until next March; he
would have become entitled to a pension of SG guineas per annum
for the remainder of his life.

of the ITonotirablr East India Collapany, was brought to the
Office on a peace warrant.

stated, on the insolvean's part were the property of

case were reported in the former examination. ..
'The Collar, in prontuncing judgment, observed,
that. although the story told by the inslivent telat4e
to the disposal of his proper ty.intheWest.lndiesswas
a mo,t improbable one, and therefore full of suspi-
cion, still, in the absence of conviction,pthey would
not act upon that so-picion ; but upon the other part
of the ease it WAS clear that there was a fraudulent
concealment of part of his furniture, and they thekis-
fore ordered him to he remanded for twelve months.
Armand Fran, i:Prault ric Bligay, a picture-dearer,
whose case had been adjourned to file additional do-
cumeats, underwent a further examination to-day.
respecting the disposal of several thousand 'pounds
worth of pictures, placed in his hands for-iiile.
The insolvent, who is a Frenchman, but has been
thirty years resident in this country, stated that Jae
had been for many years employed to purchase and
repair pictures for the late Mr. Tuifin, a banker, at
Bristol (by whose executors, as-well its by-some other
creditors, his discharge was opposed). In.lBlS fir.
' Tullio placed a nunther of pictures in hithatads,.lo
-be disposed of by pijvate sale,-at pikes fixed by Mr.
'Puffin, amounting to 4,900/. In the beginning of
1515 the insolvent went to Paris, and took a quan-
tity of pictures with him, previou,ly to which he
gave a bond for 2,000!. to Mr. Jciseph Turner, a
'pawnbroker, to whom he owed I,OOOL for money
borroWed of hint at dilFerert times. In Paris he sold
two of Mr. Tuffia4:i pictures to the Duke de Berri,
for 1121. sc. which he was paid ; but he placed the
greater pert of what he took with him in the hands
of a man named DU tliellS0:1, who represented him-
self as the agent of the rich Russian l'rince Demidoff.
Shortly afterwards Bonaparte returned from Elba:
and never since could he hear anythipg of Damen-
son, althoua he wrote ti Fouche, -Minister of thiln•
terior, to have him arrested, bat he then fell into (Rs-
grace and returned no answer to the communication.
When his loss was known, Mr. Turner took posses-
sion of all his pictures, amounting in value (ac Loot-
vent estimated them) to 5 000!. which he has since
disposed of; amongst them were the two moirvalusi
able of Mr. Tuflin's pictures—namely, " The Mar-
riage of Si. Cathet ine," by. Vandyke, valued at 9301.
and "'The Vitgirt and Child," by.another eminent
master, at 1,200/. On coming to London the insol-
vent acquaioted Mr. Toffin with all that had oc-
curred, and he sent him to Mr': Turner to inquire on
inset terms the latter would deliver-tip the pictures„
Mr. Turner orFered to give up the whole for 2,001.
and to give the insolvent time lOr the payment of
9001. more, to which his advance, then amounted
but Mr. Tuffin declined complying, ss ith this pro-
i pos sl. The insolvent thereupon Old Mr.ffulEn that
'he -made ircat's paw of him (insolvent), and should
never see his face again; in which he subsequently
kept his word.
In reply to some questions on behalf of MuLlailie
Collier, another of his opposito, .creditors, the instil-
vent stated that she had placed a picture ha, Dorni-
nechino in his hands tOr sale, which she valued at 110 g
guineas, upon which he advanced 221. but being toe-
able to dispose of it at that price, .he repeatedly ap-
' plied for his Money ; and ni t h tying received it, be
considered the picture forfeited, and sold it for 100 t.
