VOLCANIC PHEsoMESA IN Nova ScoTIA.
A cores pondent OF the ST. Johns News
saws that quite commotion has been excl.
ted among the people in the vicinity of Dig
BY. upon the southwest coast OF Nova SEQ
tia, BY a series of convulsions Of the earth.
which have recently taken place upon the
southeast side of Granville Mountain. On
the day of the earthquake which occurred
several months since, the mountain was
considerably shaken, and small opening
made upon its slope, whence a great quanti-
,y of smoke immediately rushed forth, and
continued to issue throughout the remainder
of the dav. This manifestation at length
ceased, and all remained quiet until about a
Fortnight ago, when suddenly the ground in
the vicinity was violently agtated, and u
caasm opened, from which not only dense
volume Of smoke, but great quantities Of
dust and small stones were ejected. The
spitatons of the surface continued from day
10 dav until, in short time, portion OF the
.lopinr ascent was converted into small
level plain, which is SO shaken up that at a
little distance it presents the appearance
ofaw well ploughed field. Shortly after the
opening of the chasm, huge rock was
thrown fromit with such, fore as to penetrate
the side of a neighboring cottage the inmates
of which have since removed to what they
consider safer home The correspondent
OF the News says that eruptions are still
constantly taking place, and no person has
vet dared to venture close enough for q mi
mute examination OF the phenomena

Death Of Son Of the Author Of "Anastasius'
-His Immense Wealth and Eccentric Life.
PAxIs, May Sd, 1855.
A few weeks ago, M. WilliamW. Hone,
one OF the sons f"Anastasius'' Hope, died
In his hotel Of the Rue Saint Dominique.
Saint German, leaving the whole Of his in
m ense fortune (ubove So 600 ,O00) 10 a poor
Englishman, a distant relation, negotiating
at Dover on some hundred pounds a year.
The will contained few lepacics-amonp
them one to his mistress He bequeathed
her 100000 The legacy was too intimate.
" linked with the other provisions OF the
will for their heir to think of disturbing it,,
for, as you know, these mortuary demands
are like Prince Rupert's drop in their in
innate nterdependepce. But the woman
had two horses and a carriag e in Mr.. Hopes
stable, (they lived martaly together,) al
legged to have been given her by him, and
which were shown 10 have been used by
her constantly, by none but her, and to
have been constantly ut her orders. The
heir brought suit to recover them, and they
were worth 81 900 at the outside.
Mr.. Hope was one Of the martyrs OF the
Midas martyrology. lie fortunately was
damned TO none OF those "rch mems dis
euses,' The govt and apoplexy, but he could
not escape ennui, hat curse of wealth. His
only resource to kill time (and he had not
much to kill--he died only SO wears old,)
were cards. he spent every season at HON.
bury, sitting at its tapis vert and leaving
never less than SO 600, and in 1850, S25 900
to The bank Kills stable was recently sold,
and all his other personal effects are id
vertised as on sale His Hotel, with the ex-
.epton of the De Rothschilds, Lehon, Lam
ris,on, Mile Hottingueur's, (it is Just CON-
pleted, the building has cost million Of
dollars } is the finest in Paris, and is most
extensively decorated lie greatly enlar-
red il when he purchased il fifteen years
ago from the Spanish Government, who
used il as their embassy. He lived there
alone with his mistress, waited on by 80 SER
wants, and having few visitors besides
well known card player, nicknamed lie
Blancal, who has the reputation of being
the best ard. player, not to be Greek, pos.
sessed by Paris.
He made his fortune at Mexico ut monte
and the cockpit. and il is said Dir. Hope con.
triouted $4,000 10 his estate since they
first commenced theBook of Kings together
The house he ives in is worth 81 900 900,
for it has an immense garden, filled with
avenues Of fipe old linaens, as many fount.

GENEROUS REWARD FOR FAITHFUL SER
yfcE-THE VALUE OF KINDNESS during
the summer Of l3i6. Albert Morgan Of this
CITY. was the keeper OF the Gloucester
Pavilion" Among his boarders at that
line was Henry Erskinc, an English gem
tieman He was taken i'll, while at the
house, with the small pox. The servants
refused TO attend the stranger, and he would
haze suffered, had not Mr.. Morgan, in con-
hector with his family, devoted themselves
to his service. Through their care and at.
,en,ion he recovered, ahd in few weeks
time was able to walk out Mr.. Erskine
never by word or deed during bis stay at
Gloucester evinced the slightest gratitude
for the kindness lie had received. On the
dav of his departure, however, he wrote
Mr.. Morgan's name in full in his note book,
and made particular inquiries ms to his tu-
ture prospects. After he had settled his bill
and left The hotel, note was found in the
room which he had occupied, directed TO
Mr.. Morgan, and containing 500 bill,
saving that he had not forgotten Mr.. NJ .
kindn, SIS. and that some day be should hear
from him, The incident had quite escaped
Mr. Ms memory, when he was day or
two since reminded OF the occurrence at
Gloucester by the British consul at this
port, Mr.. Eliot, communicating to him the
intelligence Of the decease Of Mr.. Erskine,
who had let him by will the muniticent
sum Of e25, 900, equal to ahcut $4,000!
Mr.. Morgan was, Of course, inclined to
doubt the contents of the lettcr, and would
have been ncredulous had he not been as
surcd that Il draft would be placed in his
LorI, l., fnm ,iaps for tia sum of f5 Ooh
with which to delray his expenses to Eng
land to take possession OF the property.
Most of il consists of three per cent con-
soils, and of course can be sold at any time
without any loss or delay. NJ Erskinc is
said TO have been relative OF the late Lord
Henry Erskine, and doubtless was Of an ec-
centric, though genial. mind. Mr., Morgan
is printer and has the good will and best
wishes of the craft in his improved fortunes.
