Professor Palmier! of Naples pre sided, and Dr. Kirclioff officiated as Secretary. Oassiot of Purl was the first speak er, and contended that the theory of nvdm'K fri.-Um, now being fully estate lished.it only remained to prescribe the laws governing its superficial action. " There is hut one law applicable that I am aware of." said he, "and that is the law which drives from the center of a revolving body all fluid matter toward the circumference, and forcibly ejects it into space, if possible; in the same manner that a common grind stone in rapid motion will drive off from its rim drops of water or other foreign unattached matter. Thus, whenever we find a vent or open ori fice, as in the crators of active volcan oes the Incandescent lava toils up and frequently overflows the top of the highest peaks of the Andes." Palmleri then asked the speaker " If he wished to he understood as express ing; the unqualified opinion that an orifice once being opened would con tinue to flow forever, and that there was no law governing the quantity or regulating the level to which it could rise?" Gassiot replied in the affirmative. The Neapolitan philosopher then added : " I dissent in toto from the opinion of M. Gassiot. For more than a quarter of a century I have studied THE LAY A FLOWS OF VESUVIUS, ..Etna and Stromboli, and I can assure1 the Congress that the Creator has left no such flaw in His mechanism of the globe. The truth is. that molten lava can only rise about 21,000 feet above the level of the sea, owing to the bal ance wheel of terrestrial gravitation, which counteracts at that hight ail centrifugal energy. Were this not so the entire contents of the globe would gush from the Incandescent center and fly off into surrounding space." M. Gassiot replied, "that true vol canoes were provided by nature with cw'iimrnhvlar lips, and hence after filling their craters they ceased to flow. But in the instance before us no such provisions existed, and the only pro tection which he could conceive of consisted in thesmallness of the orifice; and he would therefore recommend His Majesty King Leopold to direct all his efforts to confine the aperture to lt present sise." Palmier! again responded, "that he had no doubt but that the crater at Dudzeele would continue to flow until it bad built up around Itself basaltic walls to the hight of many hundred, perliaps thousands of feet and that the idea of setting bounds to the size of the month ot the excavation was simply ridiculous." Gassiot interrupted, and was about to answer in a very excited tone, when Professor Palmieri "disclaimed any Intention of personal Insult, but spoke from a scientific standpoint." He then proceeded. "The lava bed of Mount .Etna maintains a normal level of 7.000 feet, whilst Vesuvius calmly reposes at a little more than one-half that altitude. On the other hand, ac cording fo Professor Whitney, of THE PACIFIC SURVEY, . Mount Kilanea, in the Sandwich Islands, bubbles up to the enormous hight of 17,000 feet. It cannot be con tended that the crater of Vesuvius is not a true nucleatic orifice, because I Iwve demonstrated that the molten bed regularly ries and falls like the tides of the ocean when controlled by the moon." It was seen at once that the scientists present were totally unpre pared to discuss the question in its novel and most important aspects and on taking a vote at the dole of the session, the members were equally di vided between the opinions of Gassiot and Palmieri. A further session will take place on the arrival ot Professor Tyndall, who lias been telegraphed for from New York, and ot the great Rus sian geologist and astronomer, Tuge nieff. In conclusion, the damage already done may be summed up as follows : The destruction of the Bruges and Hond canal, by the formation of a basaltic dike across it more than two hundred feet wide; the burning of Dudzeele, and the devastation of about thirty thousand acres of valuable land. At the same time it is utterly impossi ble to predict where the damage may stop, inasmuch as early this morning the mouth of the crater had fallen in and the flowing stream had more than doubled in size. In consideration of the part hitherto taken by the Government of the United States in originating the work that led to the catastrophe, and by request of M. Musenheim. the Belgian Foreign Secretary, I have token the liberty of drawing upon the State Department far ' EKIlfTY-SKVKN THOUSAND DOLLARS, Being the snm agreed to be paid for the est of emigration to the United States of two hundred families (our pro rata) rendered homeless by the conflagration of Dudzeele. I am this moment in receipt of your telegram dated yesterday, and rejoice to learn that Professor Agasslz has re turned from the Soutlr Seas and Will be sent forward without delay. With great respect, I have tne honor to be your most obedient servent, John Flannagan, U. S. Consul at Bruges. P. S. Since concluding the above dispatch. Professor Pa!niieri did me the honor of a special cull, and, after some desultory conversation, approach ed the all-absorhing topic of t tie day. and cautiously expressed his opinion, as follows: Explaining his theory, as announced at the Congress, he said that " Holland, Belgium and Denmark being all low countries, some portions of each lying below the sea level, he would not be surprised if the present out-flow of lava devastated them all, and covered the bottom of the North Sea tor many square leagues with a bed of basalt." The reason given was this: "That lava must continue to flow until, by its own action, it builds up around the volcanic crater a rim or cone high enough to afford a counter poise to THE CENTRIFUGAL TENDENCY OF AXIAL ENERGY ; And that, as the earth's crust was demonstrated to lie exceptionally thin in the north of Europe, the hight re quired in this instance, would be so great (hat an enormous lapse ot time must ensue before the self-created cone could obtain the necessary altitude. Before ..-Etna attained its present se cure hight it devastated an area as large as P'rance ; and Proiessor Whit ney has demonstrated that some center of volcanic action, now extinct, in the State ot California, threw out a stream that covered a much greater surface, as the basaltic table mountains vul garly so called extend north and south for a distance as great as from Moscow to Rome." In concluding his remarks he ventured the prediction that " the North Sea would be com pletely filled up and tlie British Islands again connected with the Continent." J. F., U. S. C. The Lebanon, (Pa.) Manufactur ing Company's works were destroy ed by fire on the 7th inst. Loss, 820,000; insurance, $5,000.

The branch Civil Service Asso ciation at Philadelphia have receiv ed a letter from tlie President re turning thanks for their warm en dorsement of his action in the Phil adelphia postmaster appointment. Minnie Myrtle Miller delivered her lecture on Joaquin Miller to an audience of about one hundred, in Chicago on Saturday night last, l'ress complimentary. It is stated that Sumner has not Rleptfortwo weeks, except under the influence of hypodermic injec tions of morphine.' Tlie fine residence of Hon. Polk Shannon, ot Torre Haute, Indiana, was destroyed by fire ou the 5th. A sleet storm in New York on the 5th inst., rendered the streets almost deserted, and cut off com munication with the outside world by breaking down telegraph wires. In Kansas and Missouri on the same day, it snowed from one to two feet deep on a level. A Chicago police sergeant, who joined the police force twelve years ago a poor man, has accumulated $100,000, and resigned, to give an other poor, honest man an oppor tunity. Patrick O'Rourke, whose name appears among the selling-out share holders of the New York 7Hiuwr was the original pressman of the concern, and has held his one share of the stock for twenty years. Some eighteen hundred German and Italian emigrants arrived at Castle Garden, N. Y., on the first. They had suffered a great deal from cold and treatment on the voyage.
