of the bark Rolla, from Galveston. On the

had been poured into it. The phenome'
non was attributed to volcanic eruption at
the bottom Of the Gulf Immediately after.

From EUTOpS,

The steamship America, which arrived on
the 10th. brings European dates to the 29th
ult. The burden of the news from tho 9TH
or side is still all about the rumors and
threatenings of war between France, Sardn-
ia, and Austria. Indeed, in France the pre-
parations are going on SO actively that the
breakin. out of hostiities is no longer re-
garded as question of weeks, bat of days.
The demand for cavalry is SO Urgent, that
the French government has given orders TO
buy horses nine years old. At Toulon GO
war transports arc ordered to be in readiness
by the 1st of March, and all the surgeons ia
the military hospitals Of Paris and Marsclles
are ordered to hold themselves in readiness
for active service at q days notice. In Paris,
the opinion is universal, that crisis has ar
rived in the affairs of Europe, more momen-
tous than any which has arrived since the
wars of the first Emperor. Among the low
er classes the war feeling is stimuli by
lie Pressc and lie Steele, and is daily grow
ing more intense.
Austria, however, appears to be anXiously
striving to avert the conflict, and with Eng
land and Germany to aid her, is earnestly
striving to accommodate matters. 1t is,
however, apparent that the chances of q
fight greatly predominant.
