Mount VesuViuS.

NAPLES, Jan. 4, 1868. The eruption of
Mount Vesuvius, which was described some
few days since as becoming still more intense
grand, is just now quite alarming. The
whole ofthe volcano is in violent action, and
flames issue not only from the old crater and
many new openings to the air, but it continues
to blaze after itsejection. A slight subsidence
ofthe volcanic motion had taken place, and on
Monday, the 9th of December, the mountain
remained almost quiescent, Its sides being
covered to great extent with snow. A heavy
colored smoke issued from what the savans
term the "smoke holes old and new. Tuesday
night, the eruption was resumed with great
force, and q mass of lava, resembling solid
rock, was;shot from the crater to great height,
and, as seen from this city, rolled down the
sides of the great cone after falling. A loud
roar, as if of artillery, Was heard during the
entire night The mountain was yelled in
darkness long after the hour of daybreak next
morning fsA As the forenoon advanced q strong
wind sprung up from the north and dispelled
the gloom, and Vesuvus has been witness
ed 10 its, fiery daily grandeur since. To- day a
perfect, river of fre Is, seen to How from the
mountain, running in aiwesterly direction. The
fiery food is nearing the town Of Cercala. The
upheavingslof the volcano are attended with
shocks resembling those Of an earthquake,
and loud detonations, as if battery of heavy
guns in full play, are heard. A perfect pan
ic prevails among the inhabitants OF ali the
villages situated in the neighborhood of the
foot, of the mountain. s5s5a 2 @.s1*4a.. 1F-

Bank OF York in the United States District Court
yesterday, Judge Blatchford sustained Commissioners
Belts In his action committing the defendant for trial.
and in doing So used this language 1.-THE indebtedness
OF the prisoner to the bank Is claimed to be merely an
Overdraft aud not criminal This is not SO. When
President OF bank charged trustee with the admins
tratlon OF the funds Of the bank in his hands, con,
yerts them to his own use, he eD,bezztes and
abstracts them, within the statutes referred 10,
unless he shows an authority for so doing.
There IA sufficient evidence that the prisoner, while
acting as President Of the bank converted 10 his own use
Of the moneys Of the bank and he shows no
warrant for so doing" warrant Of removal Will Issue
and prisoner will be sent to the Northern District OF
this State where the alleged crimes were committed, Tor
