lowered to the water, he cast off the teacles,
seized oar, and sculled away for the shore, the
pirate calling after him and asking if he was go
ing to betray him? On landing, the mate relat-
ed the above particulars to several of the officers
the Fortress who were for some time doubt
full as to the probability of the story; but on his
mentioning that the name of the vessel on the
stern had been oblteratcd, Capt. Dana ordered
boat and rowed off to the vessel to ascertain if
such was the fact. Before he had reached the
vessel, however, he was hailed from her by the
pilot, and informed that the pirate captain h0d
cut his Mront. The three Spanards had little
before, by some fnesse, got possession of boat
from neighborng vessel, and made their es-
cape to the Elizabeth City shore, where due dill
gcnce has been used to effect their apprehen-
sion. Capt. Dana and his boats crew boarded
the vessel and kept possession of her until she
WAS delivered over to the custody Of Mr.. West
wood, the custom house officer at Hampton, to
whom Col. Gratot had in the first instance sent
information, and she has been sent up to Norfolk.
An inquest was held on the body Of the pirate

pers to have been .4ieranGer 7ardy, which was
the next morning inferred on the beach.

Review contains an article on Volcanoes.
/ NJ Daubeny, in a work lately published on
this subject, furnishes some facts and rciiec-
tions: the result of his travels. observations
!, and studies. The substances thrown out by
; volcanoes are chiefly composed OF the Gle
mcnts of granite, gncss, and other primitive
rocks, which renders it most probable that
, they are brought from great depth. 1t Is
! remark able that the 1863 volcanoes mention
cd by Arago are all near the sea; and that
not single active one is to be found in the
interior of any country. Volcanic regions
and cxtinguished volcanoes are known at
distance from the sea; but generally in dis
tricts which appear to have emerged from
the water Earthquakes are most violent
in countries where there are not volcanoes:
az if they served to vent their force.
