On Saturday a small parcel, containing bank-notes to the amount of 20c!. was sent by Mr. Greenwood, of Reading, by one of the coaches of that town. After the arrival of the coach in London, on the parcel being conveyed to the city, it was unfortunately lost. Upon discovery of which, Mr. Moody, one of the proprietors, voluntarily, and in the most handsome manner, offered to pay the whole of the loss to the owner, contrary to the practice of coach proprietors. The parcel, how- ever, was found by an honest boy, who restored it to the-owner and Mr, Moody Tewarded him very libe- rally with 2d, A young man, a private belonging to the detach- ment of the Forfar militia now quartered in Carlisle, having a few days ago completed the period of his ser- vice, returned to the place of his nativity, when he again consented to enter the service, as substitute for a gentleman in that neighbourhood, for the considera. ation of rol. per stone. The bargain was strictly com- plied with, and the man, who declared he would sell his flesh as dear as he could, received i i ol. A soldier working at the rock in Castle-street, Dun- dee, on Tuesday morning, had just renewed a charge of gunpowder, after an unsuccessful Explosion, and was in the act of laying the train, when the former match, unextinguished and i-indvertently thrown aside, caught some grains of powder leading to the train, an explosion instantly took effect. One of the splin- ters of stone struck him in the forehead, and felled him to the ground. A considerable portion of the bone was fractured and beat in upon the brain. After the operation of trepanning and raising the depressed portion of bone, the man was much relieved. The ad-vantage of a Three Months1 Bill at this Season of the .Year.An honest Hibernian last week found out a virtue in these Bills, that the dulness of Manches- ter heads could not before discover :An Irishman bought some goods of a manufacturer a few days ago, for which he undertook to pay a Bill at two months when the parties met, to settle it over a glass, the pur- chaser introduced his Bill, which the seller looking at, saw it was for three months, and expressed his objec- tion, saying, our agreement was for a Bill at two; add- ing, that the last purchase you made of me, you paid me a two;—" Very well," says Pat, so I did but don't you know that was in the middle of the sum- mer, in the long days ? and isn't a three months' Bill now the short days are coming, as good as a two months in the long ones ?-don't be stupid, I say, put it in your pocket." An inhabitant of Cologne, whose affairs called him to Paris, hit upon a singular method of defraying the expences of his journey. He betted 50 gold Napoleons, that in three hours after his arrival in the capital, they should receive at Cologne a letter written by Jjimself and he wan by more than 40 minutes. He set out- from Cologne on the 24th ult. at seven in the morning, rode post, and arrived at Paris on the 27th, at ten a. ni.-ftiifilling the conditions made before his de- parture, the hour of his arrival was verified, and two messengers dispatched at eleven with his dispatches one arrived in one hour and 50 minutes, and the other in ten minutes hiss. These two amiable and swift messengers were two very fine pigeons About 240 French and Germans, who were brought last week as prisoners from Gibraltar in the Latona frigate, plotted to rise and murder the officers on the passage, and carry the vessel into a French port. A German serjeant, however, disclosed the particulars, and the plot was thus happily frustrated. Two servants of a gentleman, who were returning home with a horse and cart, loaded with guns, fishing- rods, and nine dogs, on Sunday the 7th inst. at Lock- erbie, North Britain, were fined each ten pounds Scots, under the Acts of Parliament of 1661, and J 67 for driving through that village during divine service. A Mr. Coulthard undertook on Thursday for a wager of 20 guineas to go two miles in ten minutes at three starts, to be allowed two minutes between each start. He chose a spot of ground from Hounslow to Ashford, and won his match by eight seconds. A circumstance happened at St. Giles's Church yes terday, which may serve as a caution to congregations, and other assemblies of people, against the influence of sudden alarm.—During Divine service, a small piece of ornamental ceiling fell upon a poor woman sitting in the middle aisle and although it was apparent that no further danger or damage was to be apprehended, a considerable part of the congregation incautiously rushed to the doors of the church, whereby a woman had her leg broken in two places, and other persons were much hurt and bruised. A hackney coach, in which were Mrs. Peddal, of Maddox-street, and her two children, with a youth of the name of Horner, was overturned in Oxford-street, on Tuesday, by the coachman negligently driving against a broad-wheeled waggon, whilst racing with another hackney coachman. One of the children, a fine boy four years old, has since died of the fractures he received, and the youth Horner was so much hurt, that his life is in a very precarious state. The coach- man was secured. It has been stated that Richard Hucknell, for whose apprehension a reward of one d guineas is offer- ed, has committed several forgeries oil t,ip- Bank but this is a mistake,his depredations have been committed on the property of private individuals, although the Bank have taken every means to apprehend the of- fender. He has been a Stock-Broker, in Ryder-street, St. James's, for 30 years, and he was considered an honest man, and his !integrity had obtained him con- siderable employ. He has lived in a precarious man- ner, and it was a system of gambling at the Stock Ex- change which had rendered him unable to fuihl his contracts. It is a lamentable fact, that the persons who have been defrauded by this man are chieffly in- dustrious tradesmen. His depredations are to the ex tent of 3000I. and amongst the persons who employed b him to buy into the Funds, is a young beginner, Fd. baker, who placed 500I. in his hands for the purchase of stock. Another tradesman has been defrauded of 200I. in like manner. Two unfortunate Cyprians are reported to have been washed off Mount Edgecombe Rocks, and drowned, on Sunday evening. They were on board one of the men of war, when, for some improper conduct, a boat was ordered to take them on shore but shortly after leaving them on the rocks, a sea washed them both off, and doomed them to a watery grave! In the month of June last, a boy was angling for pike in a small lake on the borders of the river Bann, near Kilrea, in the county of Derry he stuck his fishing- rod in the ground, at the edge of the water, and left it there some time when he returned, he found that the bait, which was a frog, had been swallowed by a small pike, which had afterwards been swallowed by a larger. weight, and both were caught at once, with a great part of the tail of the small one between the jaws of the I large one.
----MOUNT VESUVIUS.
MOUNT VESUVIUS. NAPLES, SEPT. 24. The recent eruption will make the year 1S10 an epoch in the annals of Vesuvius, on account of the manner in which it began, and the disasters it has produced. It is considered as a very extraordinary circumstance that this eruption was not preceded by the usual indi- cations; every convtdsionofVescviusbeingptevioiisy announced by the drying up of the wells of Naples. This phenomenon did not take place on this occasion j and, to the great surprise of the inhabitants, Vesilvius began to emit flames on the night of the roth of September. On the morning of the, t th the flames became more intense, and the lava began to How from the e:.st and south east sides of the mountain. Towards evening the conflagration increased, and about twilight two grand streams of fire were seen to How down the ridge of the volcano night produced no change in this state of things. On the morning of the nth a hollow sound was heard, and has always been increasing; the fire and- smoke have equally augmented intensity, and towards evening the horizon was obscured. The breeze usual in these parts, having blown from the south east, dissi- pated the accumulated clouds. The mountain conti- nued to vomit lava and a dense smoke, which even at a distance was strongly sulphureous the hollow noise in the sides of the mountain continued to increase. Curious to witness as near as possible one of the most; astonishing phenomena of nature, and forgetting the misfortune of Piiny, I set out from Naples, and at eight in the evening I reached Portici. From thence to the summit of the mountain the road is long and difficult. About half-wav there is a hermitage, which has long served for refuge and shelter to the traveller; a good hermit has there fixed his residence, and tajcts care to furnish, for a moderate sum, refrshmnt which to the fatigued traveller are worth their weight in gold. The envirpns of this hermitage produce the famous wine called Lachryma Christi. From the her- mitage to the foot of the cone, there is a long quarter of a league of road, tolerably good but in order to reach from thence the crater, it is necessary to climb a mountain of cinders, where at every step you sink up to the mid-leg. It took my companions, myself, and our guides, two hours to make this ascent and it was already midnight when we reached the crater. The fire of the volcano served us for a torch the noise had totally'ceased for two hours; the flame had also considerably decreased these circumstances aug- mented our security, and supplied us with the neces- sary confidence in traversing such dangerous ground. We approached as near as the heat would permit, and we set fire to the sticks of our guides in the lava, which slowly ran through the hollows of the crater. The surface of this inflamed matter nearly resembles metal in a state of fusion but as it flows. it carries a kind of scum, which hardens as it cools, and then forms masses of scroria, which dash against each other, and roll all on fire, with noise, to the root of the mountain. Strong fumes of sulphuric acid gas arise in abundance from these scoria, and by their caustic an^penetrating qualities, render respiration difficult. IF We seemed to be pretty secure in this situation, and were far from thinking of retiring, wben a frightful explosion, which launched into the air fragments of burning rocks to the distance of more than 100 toises, reminded us of the danger to which we were exposed. None of us hesitated a moment in embracing a ret feat, and in five minutes we cleared in our descent a space of ground which we bad taken two hours to climb. We had not reached the hermitage before a noise more frightful than ever was heard; and the volcano, in its fury, began to launch a mass equal to some thou- sand cart loads of stone, and fragments of burning rocks, with a projectile force which it would be diffi- cult to calculate. As the projection was vertical, al- most the whole of this burning mass fell back into the mouth of the volcano, which vomited it forth anew to receive it again, with the exception of some fragments which flew on", to fall at a distance, and alarm the inquisitive spectator, who avoided them ?.% on public fetes, we avoid the handle of the rockets in our fire works. The 13th commenced with nearly the same soncar- nnces as those of the preceding day. The volcano was tranquil, and the lava ran slowly in thecbanneJs which it had formed during the night but at four in the afternoon, a frightful and continued noise, accompa- nied with frequent explosions, announced a new erup- tion the shocks of the volcano were so violent, that at Forte de TOeuf, built upon the rock, where I then was, at the distance of near four leagues, I felt Gscil- lations similar to those produced by an earthquake. About five o'clock the eruption commenced, and continu.il during greater part of the night. This time the burning matter flowed down all sides of the moun- t.1in, with a force hitherto unprecedented all Vesuvius was on fire, and the bva has caused the greatest losses houses and whole estates have been overivhelmcd ana at this day families in tears 'and reduced; to despair search in vain for the inheritance of their ancestors, buried under the destroying Java. At ten at night the hermitage was no longer acces- sible; a river of fire had obstructed tile I-c,.il. The districts situated 011 the south eH.st quarter of the moun- tain had still more to suffer. Mount Vesuvius was no longer any thing but one vast flame; and the seaman at a great distance might contemplate, at his leisure, this terrific illumination of nltllre l There are five different detainers against Roberts, who lately escaped from Coldbath-fields Prison, and now a prisoner in for forging the 1.1;- vidend warrants, describing tlieni tisi third, for a hiay robbery, the person from whrra ceit in vouchers found in his possession were taker, having been robbed of tlieri; the fourth, forfetomously effecting his escape from prison and tlve fifth, for having in his possession, when taken into custody, N eight forged notes of the Bank of England for iol. each, last of ill all charge against which Roberts turd the greatest tf. ficultv in defending himself, and the punishment an- nexed to the oflence, Is- transportation -for fourteen years..
