Eruption OF Mount Vesuvius.

The Naples correspondent Of the London
Times gives q vivid description Of the late erup-
tion Of Mount Vesuvius. We extract from his
letter:
at is impossible to de justice to the awful
splendor of the spectacle which the mountain
presented, scanned as it is with streams of fire,
fed from innumerable openings The old cone
seems, indeed, like the ruined chimney Of q
ruined house it lifts up its black mass above
the lake of fire below, but scarcely any thing
proceeds from it-a few sparks only-while the
fiery master issues forth from number of new
ly created mouths in the valley around and
below the cone. Of course thousands of people
on foot or in carriages crowded the road lead
ing to the great spectacle, and there was 9
regular Babel of languages The
trees almost complained and spoke, as usual al
the approach of the destroyer; they writhed
violently under the action of the soorehine
heat, and then falling over, were buried in the
food. Vines, and the poles on which they
rested, burnt up like matches in comparison
with the splendOr of the light around them
Down in Resina there was grand illumination
in honor Of the name day Of the Queen, and at
any other time wanderer on the mountain
weuld have gazsd on it and called it striking
and brilliant scene; but all those lights in honor
of royalty paled before the awful and grandsI
lights which He who made the mountain sol
up. The same contrast was observable between
thousand torches, which glittered in every
direction, and the burning steady FIRE which
streamed down the sides of Vesuvius. The for
mer, like glow-worms, were scarcely visible IL
the glaring light which overpowered them"
