From the Detroit Advertiser.
A wonderful PheneneEOn:

A singular phenomenon was brought to
light week ago yesterday, in the township
of Greenfield, about eight miles from this
city. The facts are very nearly as follow.
The Messrs Grangers in boring to find wa
ter to supply their saw mill, sunk four
inch hole to the depth of 70 feet, when
they struck vein or cavity. AS they with
drew the augur from the hole, to their great
surprise, it was followed by violent current
cf air, and threw up stones as large as hens
eggs ten or fifteen feet high, For few
moments, when the hole was first opened,
the air was accompanied by stream of
water, which was thrown ten or twelve feet
high. The water however, soon ceased
coming, and the air gushed out with such
force that the roar could be distinctly heard
fifty or sixty rods distant. On touching fire
to the air, it caught and flames flashed TWEEN
ty feet high, and came near burning the
building, covering the machinery in which
it was located.
They finally succeeded with considerable
difficulty in stopping it, by forcing ,wn
blankets, and driving spile into the hole,
which was their only means of stopping the
air or gas, and extinguisbing the flames.
For several moments after the hole was
stopped, the earth trembled and shook for
some distance around, as though an erup-
ton was about to take place. The people
who by this time had gathered to the num-
Der of about hundred, were greatly alarm
ed at these symptoms, and scattered with
all possible rapidity, supposing that Mil
lerism' was about coming to focus, or that
they were about to be blown up sky high
by an earthquake. From the time it was
opened till it was thus closed, was about six
hours, and the air gushed out all the time
with unabated force.
It has been opened several times since
with the same effect. The power and force
of the air does not seem to diminish in the
least. The Messrs. Grangers are proposing
to secure it with apparatus SO as to shut it
off and let it out at leasure, and test its real
qualities. The people in that vicinity are
confident now, that it can be conveyed here
in pipes, and successfully used for lighting
the city with gas, from this great natura !,
underground Gasometer. We learn that
several scientific gentlemen of this city in
tend visiting it soon.

ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP
q A MI B R i A .
New York. Iulv /

y. NEW YORK. july /,
The Cambria arrived this morning, hav.
ing sailed from Liverpool on the l7th ult
The commercial news are unfavorable
The Corn market is dull, Us prices are
teceding.
Wheat is quoted at ss. pr 7oibs.
Corn is dull; but prices remain unchang-
ed.
Manufactures are gloomy, and the de-
mand limited to present wants.
In France, great alarm and excitement
prevails. The hopes of the moderate par
ty are likely to be defeated-the party in
favor the empire.
Additional!
Louis Napoleon has rekindled the old
Bubnapnrts enthusiasm. So soon as gov.
eminent perceived these symptoms, it con-
centrated 100000 troops in Paris.
Disturbances occur nightly. On the
10th, two thousand rioters were hemmed in
and taken prisoners by the troops Among
then, were English, Americans, and even
women, disguised in male costumes.
The Assembly at first displayed no.
bic feeling, denouncing tyrants and dicta-
torships; but the popular excitement over
awed them. Cries of "vive la Repulique"
were answered and sometimes denounced
by cries Of s:yive Buonaparte.
On Monday when it was rumored that
Prince Louis had arrived, more than one
regiment announced their pleasure by cries
of s'yiye pEmpereur.n
Lamartine mounted the tribune as pale
as ashes, and demanded that this decree a.
gainst Napoleon should be renewed. While
he was speaking, shots were fired outside,
nnd his voice was drowned byi shouts Of
"vive l'Empereur." Lamartine sat down
overwhelmed.
A motion was made to shut and guard the
door of the Hall.
Lamartine by skilful turn, took advan-
tage of the occasion. He declared that
the first bloodshed would prove despotism,
not republic, and again urged the restora-
tion Of the decree against Louis. The do.
cree was then sanctioned by acclamation.
The people, however, disputed the de-
cree, declaring that Louis Napoleon shall
take his seat On the 18th, the excitement
increased; an attempt was made 10 throw
up barricades, but the overwhelming mill.
tary force prevented this.
In Inc evening, the Assembly by large
majority, reversed the decision Of the pre-
vious day, and declared Louis Napoleon
admitted to membership.
Ledru Rollin Immediately resigned, and
it is rumored that Lamarline will follow.
AT Auvergno, proclamation had been
issued, calling the people "to arms!'' for
the purpose OF placing Louis Napoleon on
the throne
Paris was quiet, and Prince Louis was
hourly expected.
Persigny, leader Of the .Buonapartis.
party has been arrested.
Near 5000 commercial houses had stop
ped payment in Paris.
