The eruption at Vesuvius, at latest &C.
coults, was exhibiting renewed activity.
So great were the showers of ashes that the
cinders and SCOT we're carried even to Sicily,
and the steamers plying thither were black
eued by the shower. Even at Naples the
roofs of the houses were covered with fue
layer of ashes, and during a rsin.storm the
window panes were obscured by the mud
formed by the falling rain and SCOT. On the
23d Of December eight shocks of earthquake
were counted in twelve hours. What il Ma

Ten new craters have appeared on Mount
Vesuvius during the present eruption. Eng
lish photographers are at work taking pho
toRraphs of the mountain in this excited
state.
The present is the ninth time that the
town Of Tore del Greco has been destroyed
by VesuviUs. A subscription opened al
Turin for the sufferers is headed by Victor
Emanuel, who gives ten thousand francs.

partly revealed, the question isWhat has become
of the feet which had been lying near Hilton Head
since the capture of Port Royal Harbor until few
days snce when it disappeared Where arc the vessels
of that otla gone, and what point they going to
attack?
We must suppose that they gene North in the
first place. the transports to take in fresh stores and
more men, and the ships of war to accompany any
other expedition that may be on foot 1t is hardly
probable that any expedition has been organized to
go direct from Port Royal Few of the vessels of that
fleet could cooperate with those of the Burnside set
on account of the draft of water.
