persons persisted. II has notbeen possible to OBJ
tain complete accurate Information respecting this
affecting event; the following particulars however
may be mentioned. An explosion resembling the
report Of piece of heavy artillery was suddenly
heard, and cloud of black smoke was seen to rise
from the foot Of the mountain, accompanied by such
a violent wind that houses and trees were thrown
down by it. On this, complete darkness ensued, and
then for the space of three hours shower oil burn
ing ashes and torrent of Laua which covered the
country all around to the extent OF twenty Pat car
rying away, burying, and burning the houses trees
and inhabitants. AT the expiration OF three hours
il was light again, and quantity OF sand and small
stones fell.
The news of this terrible catastrophe did not
reach the Resident till the 10th, in the evening he
Immediately repaired to the scene OF desoaton, In
the neighborhood of which he arrived but on
account of The heat of the lava the one side and
the OVERLOOKING of the rivers the other, which had
been choked up by the eruption, ne was bafiled IN
all his Efforts as late as the 18th, to reach the che
scene Of misfortune. Hospitals were Immediately
established in Jour places to receive the great num-
Der of wounded who have escaped death. Every
excrtion is made to quiet the people Of the neigh
boring districts, who have led from their habia
tons, and to provide them with food.
On the 15th the resident, not without much diff
Icuhy, got far Tassik Molsia, and visited that
day lndianhiang, Tybrocroei and Lebwongong
where the desolation is complete, and surpasses all
description. Scarcely single creature has escaped
from those places, and most of the corpses were
found only few steps out of the kampongs which
proves that the inhabitants flying from their dwell
lings overaken by the fiery torrent, and their
feet being first burnt, they fell down and persisted
lin the most ho rible manner.
Up to the 18th, the district Of Singaparna in
accessible. 1t seems to have suffered less by the
torrent Of lava but as it lies low and the rivers in
the neighborhood are choked up, the foundations
caused there the most affecting ravages. Accord
ling TO some accounts two hillocks, upon which sixty
or eighty persons endeavored to save themselves
from the waters were carried away, and those I'M
happy persons swept at once into the grave. The
preservation Of this district having been calculated
upon, furnish the other districts with necessarles
and provisions this circumstance is doubly dstres

HARVEST IN ENGLAND.

The London Courier OF September 9th contains
an account of the Harvest IN England, from which
the following summary is made.
According to general report the harvest will no,
only be abundant in quantity, but also excellent
in quali,y, Notwithstanding the long continuation of
wet weather which has preceded. The markets
can hardly be said to rise.
In Essex the corn is represented as extremely
good and abundant; and the prospect Of better wea
Their for harvest Aattering In Cornwall grain of ev-
cry description has ripened under every disadvantage
In low situations the farmers have suffered partial
|dsmage By the rising of the waters on Saturday
and Sunday se'nnight. In Somerset and Glouces-
ter more than hall the wheat, and much of the bar
ley and oats have been cut and great deal is alrea-
Idly stacked. More abundant crops were never
known. In Berkshire, great deal OF wheat has
been housed in excellent order.-Wilts has had
most rain, but the crops fair though rather back
ward. IL Sussex the crops look remarkably well,
with the exception of beans. From Lincolnshire
the reports are favourable for every thing but beans
The accounts from some OF the northern counties
are not quite so favourable; but there'the harvest
has not so Tar advanced.
The Irish agricultural reports give promise of
an abundant and cheap season. Wheat will be a
good average crop Oats are rather complained oil.
Barley, rye and rape promise we'll. Potatoes, on
account Of the rain, were late in planting, but in
some fields they cover the ridges: on the whole a
pretty fair crop The frost has bghted consider
able number of the fruit trees.
In Scotland, although the harvest is late, the
crops are every where reported to be abundant
The accounts from France and Spain and mostly
all parts of Europe, are favourable that there is
every prospect of the poor and working classes
throughout Europe being best this year with bread,
not only cheap, but of good quality.
