is increasing and becoming more serious.
| Two hundred persons have been burned by
| the lava. The flames burst from the earth
| under the feet Of the inhabitants. Tore
del Greco is in danger of destruction. The
people are flying from the town, and tempo
| rary provision is made for them by the
authorities" Later reports state that fresh
| crater opened in Vesuvius. Ashes and lava
| threaten the villages on the mountain side,
and the inhabitants are removing their
household goods. Thousands are encamped
in the fields. The scene is grand and terri
| BILE beyond description. The flames at times
shoot up to a great height, and masses of
rock are elected with earthquake shocks
which are distinctly felt in Naples......The
forms of law necessary to procure the release
on bail of the Tichborne claimant having
been complied with, he has been set at lib

| serious. The Government is resolved to
| adopt the most rigorous measures to suppress
the instruction. A royal proclamation has
been issued, declaring many places in state
siege. Marshal Serrano, with six thousand
men, has gone to Navarro. His presence at
the head of this force has checked the opera
tions of tie Carlists in that department.
THE fires of Vesuvius are slackening. A
new crater opened near Tersigna on Sunday,
but with every fresh opening now the vio-
lence of the eruption seems to abate. The
volume of the stream Of lava near San Sc
bastian is sixteen feet deep, and the village
is still in danger. The King, who arrived
at Naples on Saturday, has gone to San Sc
bastian to direct NJ easures for the relief of
the inhabitants. The devastation has been

he says Z" Thank God I am once more
| permitted to kiss the sacred soil of my
country, and be again among Spaniards."
| He earnestly appeals to the people to rise
in arms, and declares he will deliver Spain
or die in the attempt. The view of Mount
Vesuvus from Naples is the grandest that
has been witnessed since 1881. Showers of
sand have succeeded the rain of ashes. The
eruption is now accompanied by fearful
electric phenomena. Lightnin darts in
cessantly from the summit of the volcano,
and the quakings of the mountain are more
violent and frequent. The thunder is con-
tinuous. Burning cinders, stones, and
scori@ are falling fast and thick in the town
of Massa di Somma, which is entirely de-
serted...... Particulars of the late earthquake
