THE BURNING CLIFF AT HOLWORTH.

The Cliff is daily becoming an ohject of greater it-
iciest ; the late eruption of fire, to the eastward of the
original orifice, his excited much additional curiosity,
and will doubtless induce further scientific investigates.
On Saturday, the 20th of Septeristser a large hody of
vapour, accompanied with strong effluvia. Was observed
issuing with much force from three fissures, some dis-
tance eastward from the spot, where a like phew maws
occurred in Mkrch last, and, on the temosal of a very
trifling portion of the exterior soil, vivid fire became
visible in the interstices of the lime-stone. Toe ape•
tures have since increased, and smoke has exhaled dur•
ing the week-from no less than nine at this part; in
several of which flame has been occasi. 'sally excited on
the application of dried sticks, or any ether combo•tible
material. On Monday evening, the Ist instant, the
surface of red hot stone in one of the apertur• s,occe-
pied a space full three feet square, and presented an
appearances like the mouth of an heated oven. A Gm-
tleman scraping off the surface for the purpose of
seeing the fire, found a nem:oral bone of some snivel,
three inches and a half in circumference, and 1} inche

eruption took place. The apertures abovemeattoord
art 25 feet above the base of the Cliff, and emend 40
feet in length ; they are from 120 to 140 feet cutout
from the original ones. Those to the westward hart
et:ended to 70 feet distance (one cf them which has
exhibited fire is quite on the base of the Cliff), so that
the entire range of apertures occupy now no less thu
210 feet lineally from east to west,—Dorm Conty
