TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YOaK HERALD.

The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our CORE
spondent -
LONDON, July 81, 1871.
A terrible earthquake visited the Philippine
islands in the month of May last. 1t COM
menced on the small island of Camiguin, five
miles in length, near the island Of Misamis.
There had been succession of violent shocks
for some months, which opened several extern
sive crevices.
Tremblings of the ground were especially
felt in March, till finally, on May l, the level
plain near the village of Catarmin gradu-
ally began to subside, until the tops of the
houses were on level with the surface of the
earth.
A crowd of people were attracted by Curl
osity, and remained for several hours eagerly
watching the phenomenon, when suddenly
terrific shocks, accompanied by laundering
reverberations, burst upon the island.
The earth was torn asunder and the whole
level plain fell in. At the same time vol
canO, with a crater fifteen feet wide, which
had been for several days in an unusual state
of activity, broke out into terrible eruption,
sending forth columns of white sulphurous
smoke and torrents of lava and boiling water.
Masses of rock were hurled aloft into the
air, columns of fire shot forth and stones and
ashes were thrown up to the height of thou
sands of feet.
One hundred and fifty persons were engulfed
in the vent which opened at the base of the
volcano. Several other large openings were
made in the ground, from which proceeded
a terrific explosion and jets of fame.
The explosion, which sounded like the
thunder Of heavy artillery, had lasted for
several hours. Then suddenly there ensued a
pause till dark, when another explosion broke
out
More crevices were opened, more lava
flowed down the volcano, engufed houses on
lis way and rushed with Kissing sound into
the sea. Black dust was driven up and over
hung the island like cloud, and columns of
smoke and fire, with brilliant displays of light,
continued to issue from the crater. II seemed
literally to rain fire, while strong exhalations
Of gas poisoned the air.
The woods caught fire, the men and cattle
flying before the flames. The spectacle was
frightful. The whole village was destroyed;
the houses either sunk into the ground or were
left shapeless ruins.
The eruption of tho volcano still continues,
but all the inhabitants have left the island.
Tremblings of the ground were felt all over
the neighboring islands.
The island Of Camiguin had until lately
26, 900 inhabitants.
1t produced Manila hemp, the quantity of
which amounted to ons-tenth of the whole
quantity grown on the Philippine Islands.

ats Antiautty ana Ob.ervancs

Its Antiquity and Obseryances.
This is Good Friday, or the Friday be
fore Easter, sacred as the commemoration
of the crucifxion of our Lord. This day
was kept as day of mourning and of
special prayer from very early period.
It was one of the two paschal days cele-
brated by the Christian Church, and in
memory of the crucifxion was called by
the Greeks PdSch4 StGuT0sim0n, or the
''Pasch of the Cross. That it was OBJ
served as day Of rigid fast, and of solemn
and melancholy ceremonial, we learn from
the Apostolic constitutions and from Fuse
bus, who also tells us that when Christ
ianity was established in the Empire,
Constantine forbade the holding Of
law courts, markets, and other
public proceedings on this day. The
priests and attendants are robed in black,
in token Of mourning; the altar is stripped
of its ornaments; the kiss of peace is omit
ted in detestation of the kiss of the traitor
Judas; the priest recites long series of
prayers for all classes, orders and ranks in
the church, and even for heretics. These
services in the Roman Catholic Churches
of this day are very solemn and peculiar;
instead of the ordinary Mass, they consist
of what is called the Presanctiied, the Sa-
cred Host not being consecrsted on Good
Friday, but reserved from the preceding
day. The most striking part of the cere-
monial Of Good Friday is the so-called ado
ration of the Cross, or as it was called in
the old English vocabulary ''Oreep-
ing to the Cross A large crucihx
is placed upon the altar with
appropriate ceremonies in memory of the
awful event which the crucifx represents,
and the entire congregation, commencing
with the celebrsnt Priest and his ministers,
approach, and upon their knees feryently
kiss the figure of our crucifed Lord. The
very striking Office of Tenebre is held on
Good Friday as well as upon the two pre-
eeding days; it consists of the mathis and
lauds of the Office of Holy Saturday, and
has this popularity, that at the close all the
lights in the church are extinguished but
one, which for time Gas symbol of our
Lords dea b and buriaD is hidden under
the altar.
10 the English Church Good Friday is
also celebrated with special solemnity.
Anciently sermon was preached at st.
Paurs Gross on the afternoon of this day,
at which the Lord Msyor and Aldermen
attended, In E0gland and Ireland Good
Friday is a dies non, and all business is
suspended. 10 Scotland the day meets
with no peculiar attention, except from
members of the Episcopal and Roman
Catholic Communion. In London, in old
times, we learn from Chambers Informa-
ton for the People, as well as in almost
every other considerable town in England,
the first sound heard on the morning OF
Good Friday was tn cry of "Hot cross
buns !" uttered by great numbers of people
of an humble order, who parade the streets
with baskets containing plentiful stock
of the article wrapped up in flannel and
linen 10 keep it warm.
The day will be observed in this city at
the Cath 'Hc and Episcopal Churches,
where appropriate ceremonies will be OBJ
served. 70"

The Owls,

Masonic Hall last night was crowded to
its utmost capacity, fitting response on
the part Of our citizens to the appeals of
the Orphan Asylum, and very high COM
pliment to our amateurs The Owl Club
has certainly made its mark. No
performance of the kind has
been more enthusiastically received.
From first to last, the entertain
ment was excellent, and the audience
showed their appreciation of home talent
in tie hearty rounds of applause bestowed
upon the members of the Club throughout
the evening. We will not attempt to par
ticularize, but will only say the singing,
dancing and burlesquing was equal, and in
some respects superior to those who follow
the business professionally. We are glad
to learn that the entertainment will be re-
peated to night with a change Of pro-
gramme. Let the Owls be greeted with
another rousing house.
