Tho b.si account of t!io erupiioii ol Vesuvius wo can find b in tho following lttcr.1 extracted from The London Daily iVetw Naplks. Saturday, May 5,1835. Having puiclu-ii'd our torches at It viaa, we turned out of thn high run I into tin comparatively narrow, mid heavv roiiii which begins thu acut. It is f itmr-d ut Iodsh V'llcanie dui and pulveriiti d lava: and hard work it is indeed fr lliu weary horses to gst along, t litis acted mol iru tlently by refusing 'o advance, so that, dis mounting, we took to oik logs. A woman might have gomj up alone, so dense were the crowds either coming or going , for be il known that npai'i I'ruin curii'sily many felt not a little, relief at the eruption, as though il had saved iln-in from the disasters of an earthquake and were full theitfoio of joy. ousuess. As w got c'o-o uu lor thu moun tain we, experienced soiiielhiug like disaji poilillilent, f r the e1eviit:otl on wliich the ll'irmitago s!and hi I from our view the fire and smoke and the streams of lava which even from Naples formed so magnificent a upec'aclo.' As we got hi-dier and h:"her the glare of light .'reflected on the sky became visible, ana by llic fine we had get to the liurmitag'i the grand -ur of the scene began lo open upon its. Puhiii'.' on from this jjoint through cicsroties and donkeys, horses, carriages and chrisiians,as bipeds are styled j;t Naples, wo traversed for sninn distance the road ffliich leadi to the cone, when, turning sharp off I o the left, wp ai rived at n po:ni mi thu stream of lava wh'-rn it funis a cascade. This is about a mile or a mile and a half from its source ; and here a va-t crowd was assembled as though ii aft'nded tho graud -sl cdpo d'occhio. To tell the truth your correspondent labor-, to writ": .Cody, for such whs i he m.igni licence of the sceiie that were one to trust loo much to his fueling he would be hurried into what .might appear exaggeration. Tim biva on Which w stood was yesterday a boiling, moving stream; it was still hot to our fort, and taking up the 1 o pieces of coke the, glowing fire was clearly perceptible ben-a'h; s ht oar cigars ut ii, ,ir ,!,iy0c! all kind of practical jokea ; and, jumping "v.'r the fiery fissures, sfod by the iH of the bed of moving lava.' Inirtgim? thoinamU'of -ims of coke car'ed out together, nnd rolling ina-s over mass, Rnd some idi-H may be Pirrn.-d nf the uoi-e noi that it was louo, but n wi,)L.. taut heavy eannoiinde. What a foreground was this ! Behind these iu the distance the background was fnrund of heavy inassigef lurid cloud-', showing off by a stiong con trast the viid fliinies iu front. The lava llowed down the sides of (he mountain in wave-i of lire, and rolling through the valley wfi had jit-t a-s"d. precipitated itself into the gulf above which we stood at first. Of course we ledled up some liquid lava nnd fix"l some coppers in it, and then were glad o move oir. The wind occasionally shifted, and with it that curtain of lurid clouds. . Our cnide warned us to be oil' on penalty of sliai ing the fate ol Pliny, a consummation enru. slly to h.' avoided, we thought, how ever great our resprct for the old Roman. Since thai evening thu se ven mouths have all resolved ihcinsrlirs iu'o one, Thu laui still continues lo pour down thu mountain in the iliree ion of San Sebas'.iano, Pollelia, and Mus-mdi t-'omiiia, being the Fiitno direc tion it took iu 1822. It has already oc cupied Llic heil of a l iver, destroyed much pl.imutioti, and is threatening still greater injuries. 'The Marcheso St. Angehi, who has property in that dine'ion, has been re moving his furniture from iiisjilla as a pre cautionary measure. In short this erup tion, though not so effeclivo a spcc'ncle at a distance as i ho last, is far more imposing when viewi d cloc, and throi.t.iis to be much more destructive. N'Ai'i.rs, Thursday, May 10, 185.J..' The I mi has now ' advanced ten miles from it ; tiince and is rluinjf teriibh rliun igu- I have bi tore me iho irport of Cozzo- lino us lo the latest chaime.-. which have lalieii p lace about I he cone.

Here four other craters have been formed, which throw up bitumen in the maimer of pyramids, and resemble gigantic exhibitions ol tii-eWoiit-i. The whole of the summit of ihe crater is thcn-furo like a sponge and iniL-t iucviiuhlv fall. ill. Thn thin crust iicinbLs under your feet. You , may arc the stones daiicj with the tremulous move ment ; the part imuiediati ly muiid the crater looks like the side of a halted coiilier biilei'. Siucli is a li ne statement of w but is going on on tliL'suiiiiiiiti There are reports of an opeii;fig towards Pompci', which is not un- liKely, and of another towards llcsiuu, hut I have not b.eii up for some days, as ihe danger is now very great. ' llelbrc I w-rite ngaui I shall make i he attempt. Lastiiight 1 went to the sceiiu of uiosl stirring interest after an interval of two days. The whole length of this usually quiet road was like a fair, and such was tho throng of eariiiiovs i which wi re moving on in' three lines that it was with diHiciiitv wo ever n' rived nt our most majestic I'eiituio in the whole scene, is the slow, silent, irresistible ni 'li n of that fiery flood. Active almighty power with out an effort ! Sweeping everything before it, overcoming every obstacle, grow ing tip against intervening walls or houses, and de vouring thein bodily, mid thou marching on in the same silent, unrelenting, irresistible manlier as before. There was aspnt beneath my feet where a fall of mason work had been built to break the violence of the winter floods; to this spot nil eyes were directed. The lirrv river would fall over it in an hour ; as yet il was distant from it seventy yards peiliups. Giadually it rose in bight and swelled out its vast proportions, and i lieu vast masses fell oft and rolled f r wind; then it swelled again as fresh mailer came pressing down behind, and so it broke, and on it rolled agaiu and -igaiu till it arriv ed at thu very edge. There was a general buzz and murmur of voices. The Royal family stood opposite to me, intermingled with the crowd, looking on with intense anxiety. At last it. bioke, not hurriedly, still with a certain show if majesty. At first a few small lumps fell d 'wn ; then poured over a pure liquid of melal, like thick treacle, cling ing sometimes ma to mass, from its gluti nous character, and last of nil tumbled over gigiiiitielumps of scoria.'. Then oil it moved once limn- in its silent regular course, swell ing up and spreading over iho vinevards on fit her side ; nnd now there was a rush fo' the Mid which traverse this lava-bed.

Wi crossed thn n.urovv pa'npet wlrch wns still reniainin?, nnd soon afterward down went ihe whole fabric. In this way il is hoped 'hat the lava will be diverted from thn town ship of St. S-hvtinnp, Ma'sa di Sommo and Pollena, which stand on eiiher side and hnvo as yet only suffered partially. Cerrolo, through which, however, die stream is rolling, will bo sacrificed. Th expectation is i tint ihe lava, should lh eruption C'viilinii", will flow down to tho Ponle Mad laloni and into lliesen.

The rivers are not navigable for boat of tho smallest size, not even for flat boat. I ought perhaps to except the Ala bama, which will float the last mentioned craft bdow Selma. Thus tlie interior of the State can nut expect nid from the North and West; its own resources are becoming rap- idly exhausted. Corn, tho great staff of life, tho hope of the rich as well as of tho poor, is worth from one to two dollars per bushel." There aro rumors of death by starvation in the North-west counties of Alabama. In Tennessee families are flying beforo tho fam ine. The most suffering it among the poor white folks. In Louisiana it is thought the sugar crop will be ruined. It is said that Texas is desolated by fires following in (he footsteps of the drouth. The cattlo are dy ing by thousands on tho black nnd blasted prairies over which the fires have swept. There is a complaint throughout the South that the sued planted has not sprouted. There nre, however, n few localities supplied with frequent showers, and in these the crops look richly promising. This exten sive drouth in tho South, following a failure of the crops last year, is peculiarly dreadful. Lot tho farmers in tho North tako good care of their grain.

Wo noticed sumo time since that the pco plo along tho lino of tho Nashville and New Oi lcans Telegraph, under the belief that the wires caused the drouth, were pulling them down miles at a time. We learn from the Tuscumbiit North Alnbamian that these "heathen'1 are not disposed to give over thoir notions. They have already caused largo damage to tho company and great in convenience lo tho public, and all attempts to quiet them hnvo heretofore been fruitless. The following truly characteristic proclama tion wns found by the men engaged iu put ting up the wiro at a place near the line of Marion couuty, where it . had been torn down.

Ite reside in a splendid mansion in that street, which ho has purchased since the title of Lieutenant General was given to him, with (he salary added from tho time of the war wiih Mexico. Ho grows old quite rapidly, and tho change in his appearance since the result of tho cnmpa'gn lhat elected Gen. Pierce is very apparent. His lofty form is bowed down his elastic step has passed awny a look of sadness and weariness has settled upon those once expressive and deci ded feature. He leads a very retired life, sees but linle company rarely appears in public, nnd nsuslly walks alone. It is not possible to A0 Gen.
