Eruption Of Mount Etna.-We have, for Sc
veraI weeks past, had vague rumors of an awful
eruption Of Mount Etna, 10 Sicily, but have had
nothing authentic on the subject. The following
extract, from letter from Messina, received BY
a respectable Commercial House 10 this City,
may be relied on as far as it goes: we wish that
the writer had entered more into the details of
this phenomenon. 1t would be almost worth the
trouble Of a voyage across the Atlantic, to see
such Volcano as Etna in full blast.
81 have to advise you that one of the most aw.
full eruptions of Mount Etna. for many years, is
at this moment taking place; three rev cra,ers
have been formed, one of which vOmits lara,

stream of iava is a. this moment over one mile
in breadth, and about eighteen miles in extent;
the loss Of property is Immense, as many fine
vaIes have been filed, and thousands Of fruit
trees destroyed, which. together with the almost
incessant earthquakes which attend It, have de-
stroved many vii ages.

all the inhabitants to escape, and the country is

THELAwYER AND THE WILL.

Mr.. C. was lawyer IN the north of Scotland,
possessed of talent, OF the strctest integrity, rose
to great influence not IN one but two counties,
acquired landed property, was judicious lin.

siderable wealth. On one occasion he was sent
for BY an old gentleman to make his will, who,
by early industry aud rigid economy, or rather
prudence, had accumulated very handsome for.

don, whom every body supposed would be his
heir; but his relatives temper was very peculiar,
and his resolves when once formed. as irreversi-
BILE as fate itself. A misunderstanding or Quar-.
rel had arisen, and the tes,ator, to use common
phrase. had secretly determined to cut his bro.
Their IF with shilling" The man of business on
learning this intention looked the very picture of
amazement, and Was of course still more con-
founded and surprised when directed to put him.
self down as heir. This INJUNCTION he declined to
obey: talked of the London brothers. family; Of
the suspicious that would attach to his own cha
racter. and the scandaluus rumOrs that would be
cir, ulated against him; and. in short, made a H..
Deral use of every dissuaslve which an honest
mind could dictate, or language convey. But it
was all TO no purpose; the testator pleaded IN ia.

pleaded against himself aud, among other things,
was reminded by his employer that he was The

All this he bore calmly, aud II was only to.

asked whether he had not nephew, a cousin,
or boy in the Office, who might have no objec-

stitute his own name, on finding the other 80
wiful and capricious. This point conceded, the
deed was drawn, signed and executed, and han
ted over to the writer as castodier, as we'll as
for the purpose Of registration. But with him it
did not remain long. Having some acquaintance
with nobleman who resided in the neighbour
hood, he repaired to his seat, told what lad hap
pened, begged he would take note OF the cir.
cu,nstsnce, and retain the will in his own pos
session. lest lin an evil moment. he should be
tempted to deviate from the path Of duty. The
old gentleman only survived a few months, and
his brother, SO soon as the circumstance was re
vealed 10 him, paid an early or immediate visit

the agent who accompanied him to the seat Of

when the stranger remarked, amidst the bitter
ness OF his disappointment. that it was hardly
worth while to bring him so far on so unpleasant
an errand, that Mr.. c. placed the will in his
hands. exp siaed his feelings 40 far, and with the
greatest GOODNESS volunteered reconveyaGce.
This was sudden transition with vengeance.

to affluence, and It need hardly be added that the
