The following interesting extract from the log
book of the ship CASTOR, Captain ANTHONY, which
arrived at New York on Thursday, appears in the
Commercial Advertiser:
I" The Castor sailed from Gibraltar on the 10th
of October. Heavy firing of cannon was heard,
which, as the fog cleared away, was ascertained
to be from the town Of Agesiras, in honor of the
royal marriages, which took place on that day at
Madrid. There was great excitement among the
English residents at Gibraltar and much bad feel
ing was expressed against the French.
/" II was expected that a declaration of war would
follow as soon as the marriage took place. The
British squadron, which sailed on the 9th, was
bound to Cadiz, to take on board the British Min
: lister, who had left Madrid.
lit was currently reported that the French feet
was expected daily off Gibraltar"
The news by the last European steamer inform
ed us that the 10th Of October was the day fixed
upon for the marriage Of the Duke Of MoNTpENsIrR,
son OF Louis Philippe, to Princess LOUISA, ofSpain
but we hope there is no substantial foundation for
the surmise that the consummation of the nuptials
will lead to hostilities between France and England

brought to their minds that the morning Of the 25h Au-
gust earthquake very sensiby felt in various parts Of
New England. Such unusual phenomena in country
caused considerable and much dus Of their actual
existence Other persons however stated that in Of

would seem, however, from accounts, that the matter
be referred CONFUSION Of Mount Hcca in Iceland
letter dated Copenhagen, September 2st, which has
been published among other items Of European intelligence,
says.
We have just received from Iceland to the 18th
and from the Feoe Islands to the 18th ult Never in the
memory Of has there been disagreeable summer
than the present The bad weather prevented the Danish,
German, French, Belgian, and English from pusu
ing their researches into the state of Mount Heca but they
had decided passing the winter in Iceland order profit
by the cold and dry weather to carry their investigation.
Towards the 22d ul there sudden and violent
eruption Of Mount Heca the commencement Of which was
accompanied by shocks Of earthquake extending
radius Of about three miles, (seven French eagues The
eruption lasted about forty minutes the flames
height and all the country round the volcano was
cred with thick layer Of sshes.'
There be little doubt but that the earthquake on the
morning Of the 25h August felt in Massachusetts, proceeded,
