FRESH OUTBREAK.
4 correspondent OF the London Aa
7lGuBl writes from Naples. ON the 2~
ult.. as follows:
i have to report a discovery VIII
was made three weeks ago I'm POM
4 glass bottle. we'll closed. has g..
found of oil in its natural state. the
and only relic of the kind that has q, 1
been turned up. Eggs, and fruit. 81
bread, and grain rather 0yerco8hm
may be seen in the museums OF MAJ
and POmpeii, also large Jars. and rarr-
tacles for it in the shops: but sa. q
discovery brings us almost into The init
riOF of Pompeian household. il W
some precious stuff, perhaps. we'll -ga.#
up in reserved fOrsalads, which drma.
the finest of oil 1t may have been
sample. Whatever it was. il throws
into almost life communication with 81
thriving family who were destroyed y
the eruption of NCsuvius. ii has H
submitted to the examination OF Pr
Palmicri. who was GstOnished ut the
Vicious preservation OF the liquid. l
and clear as amber. and who DECLARED
to be obye oil, without any entrance
matter The recipient has the form at
large bottle, similar To those which a~
commonly found among lis from ta
Greek to the Roman times and waa
contain about three kilogrammes of o
equal to six or seven pounds weight. lb
The contents are not. however. all Iuu.
for there is portion, or perhaps aa
a third part of the bottle. CONCEALED. aa
has the consistency OF virgin wax. ~e
id and 'inodorous, this residum has pa
OleaginOus matter in il. say the expert.
1t is, as have said, the first time tia
this liquid has been found in Pomue'I &
such abundance and so well preserve
for the reason. perhaps. that the boil
was Theoretically closed with cork aa
wax. On its being moved this Stop
fell into the oil in pulyeriZcd state. d
also the material with which II W.
covered. The examination 10y Prof
Palmieri was not q chemical one. lE
is reserved for Prof. de Luca 10 mahe
who viii examine more infinitely la
quality Of the oil. which has rather 81
offensive smell, and Of what that matte
consists which lies at the bottom Dl tl
bottle i'm a CONCEALED state.
AT length some form is being -lna
to the project for the establishment W-
superior school in PoTtici. The Iaa-
and gardens, one Of those royal posse
sions in Italy, lying perfectly unu'iIze ~
have been appropriated to a yaluah.eaa.
necessary purpose, having regard to ..@
primitive state of agriculture lo III
country, and So "a college OF school ar
been formed. The minister Of agricH-i.
has given notice of a competitive eAH
nation for the selection Of canolaa''
TO fill three chairs. These are for anIAa
and zOOtcchnec physiology, for the l@-
man language, and design. and the r.
sDective salaries are ;. 900 lire. 5000 lE-
1000 lire POrtici and Resina, as I
well know, were in imminent danger
ring the recent commissions Of Ee-uT e,
and much ground in the vicinity ol i-
latter town was destroyed
"The Naples journals report a l..I-'
cited by the Journal de GCneCc and #-
ceived by the Swiss consul at Palera
from SOurabaya in the Island OF Jaw
1t states that on the oath of April l3s-
at the same time that Ncsuvius was La.+
ing forth. a volcanic eruption 81 u.
greatest violence occurred there. toI. g.
hours a shower Of ashes fell on SouTa.4
va, producing an obscurity more lnler
than that Occasioned bv a solar eclii7
though the distance from the Yola--
was more than $50 kilometres. Tie A.'
dispatches announced the death o. @-
hundred and fifty persons, who Ns.
killed, some by the lava, others 10y y
boiling water which, mixing with ~
ashes. formed torrents Of mud. Dun
the last month Eesuvius has shown T.,
dent signs Of malignity. On one day l y.
just thirty minutes, a column OF SUI
rose up as gigantic as that when ~ -r
witnessed last April, and almost u1- =.
there is some demonstration Of greaIt. y.
less intensity. Prof. Palmieri has ~
spoken, but, Judging from appearaDlt-.
our mountain is not satisfied with We
it has done, and is more than han ~
posed to break out again. Last W. s.
two young men, a Nepolitan and -.
man. whose names are judiciously FL Eli
pressed, performed one OF those - -
hardy tricks which cost so many 1l
lives. They ascended the mountain r.
companied by ten guides, and el NJ.
the crater, but it required all the ello L.
of their assistants TO get them out ~ ~,
The only glory obtained was thal W. n
were enabled to say that they Nelo ~
first to commit such an actot ioiiy sl
the eruption.
