1862, the Victoria Regia:"]
THE BAILOR BOT.
He rose at dawn, and Bushed with hope,
Shot o'er the seething harbor bar,
And reached tbe ship and Caught tbe rope,
Aud whistled to the morning star.
And while on deck he whistled Uud
He heard a flerce mermaldeu cry,
*■ Boy, though thou art young and proud,
1 see the place where thou will lie.
" The sands ami yeasty surges mix
Iu caves about this duskylny ;
And.on thy ribs the limpet slicks,
And on thy heart thc Scrawl shall play."
" Fool!" he answered, " Death is sure
To those that stay aud those thai roam ;
But I will never more endure
To sit with empty bauds at home.
" My mother clings around my neck,
My sisiers clamor ' Si. y, ior shame I'
My father raves of death aud wreck—
They are all to blame, they arc all to blame.
" God help me! save I take my part
Of danger ou lbe roaring sea,
A devil rises in my heart
Far worse than any d-ath to me.''
Ii*nt Eruption nl.Utiunt Vi_uvlus—Uestruclloii
of a City <rf 2:4,000 IiilL.Uiltui.ts—T.rrluc  Scene
The following narrative is from correspondence
oftbe Loudon Times, and is dated Naples, December ZOlli .
The destruction of a city which numbered 22,000
Inhabitants, is so startling u fact tbat I trust 1 .shall
not weary you by sending some statistics   which I
have this week   gathered on   tbe  Bpot.   Covered
with buow, vomiting ashes still like a 10,000 horse
power factory chimney, wilh a ruined city   lyiug
at his feet, such ia the  spectacle which  Vesuvius
at tbis  moment presents.    Uuable  to restrain my
curiosity to know what  was passing behind   the
oloudB of ashes which intervened   between us aud
the mouutain, I weut dowu again ou Tuesday last
and directed myself to  the  committee   who had
been Bitting in permanence since the Sth  instant-
Tho municipal building, a fine old historical   edifice ol the time of the Arragons, bad been destroy_
ed, so that the committee was sitting iu a suppress.
ed monastery ou tbe outskirts of thc   town,   and
Dot on the bed of old lava.   The cloisters  and the
stairs were tilled with  squalid misery which  had
come there lor relief, aud the Syndic aud his cpad.
latere to whoso courtesy I am much indebted, gave
me tbe following iul'oi'inatiou : Out ol a population
of 21,000, 15,000 are fugitives.    Between   50 and
CO houses have already fallen, aud 320 are falling
tbo rest are more or less injured.    Out of ll churches, -1 ouly aro uninjured ; but there is another fearful source of dauger—tbe  sulphurous e.halatious
which are emitted iu every  direction, aud  which
render houses, in oilier respects comparatively sale,!
uninhabitable.    By these exbalatious five or  six
persons aud all the animals, such as cats, dogs, mice
birds, aud the lishes iu the sua, have already   beeu
killed.    In lact, two-thirds of tho city  haa  beeu
destroyed.
Tbe Committee begged  ine  to appeal  to tbe
British public iu their behalf—at luaet to Italian-
reBideut tu England—_ud theu scut  two  of   their
members lo accompany me again over   the  city_
have not yet described, as they are of great interest.   My compauions took me  through  a   narrow
lane, on either side of which the houses  were  on
the eve of falling, dowu lo an  orauge   garden be
louging to oue ot tbem, at the furthest exlrem. j
ity of which gaped a crater 20  leet wide  aud as
mauy deep.   Planks were throwu across ; and getting upon them, I lookud in and saw  the walls o'
a church which had beeu destroyed iu 17.8, graves
which had giveu up their dead—for tbe  skeletons
had been removed as soon as discovered—and   the
frescoed walls of tbe inner chamber of some house,
Tho smell of sulphur was   here strong, and yet
stronger, aud almost insufferable,  in  the streets
through wbich-I afterwards passed.    Dead animals
lay here aud there, and amidst these signs of mor
tality uud sigu posts oi danger which met the eye
at every turu, while the soil waa still heaving beneath our feet, while Vesuvius was throwing out
moro violently than ever ; aud wheu  at miduigbt
only tbe poor who bad returned bad fled from tbeir
houBe., alarmed by another shock, I   met   persons
coming iu with theii   household goods on   their
backs.    A few steps brought me to the sea, which
was boiling   furiously   I'or some distance,   like a
cauldron, uot the effect,  as I  tbought first, of
springs ot fresh water gushing up, but ol volcanic
astiou ; and the smell of the gases escaping   was
60 Intense that I found it necessary, for  safety, to
cover my face with a handkerchief.   Here I met
my frieuds Cappocci, Guiscardi and Palmieri, wbo
had come over as a scientific commission   to mal
investigations.   They bottled up the   gas on  the
spot, which tbey reported to be carbonic   acid aud
carburelted hydrogen.
How long the eruption might coutiuu ', Palmieri
had no meaus of calculating ; it was going ou as
violently as ever, aod bis sismograph was   always
i.gi-.oriotj.      _V-i_ ;:,,.,.!...   __,ii Hr .rtnjr mArnii.ji
at 5 A. M.r there had beeu eight shocks, aud Irom
that time to when be spoke to me Ihey had been
continual. Tbe soil bad risen live palms, aud the
subsidence might be attended with great danger.
*■ Uutil this has takeu place," he said to my mu
nicipal conductors, " you must not think of rebuild".
Ing, aud you must carelully note the fissures in
the houses and the streets, to observe whether tbey
approximate."
I have Bald that tho number of fugitives was
16,000 only, several thousand having returned to
their houses ou tho confines of lava on which the
greater part of Torre is built. One old woman 1
saw wbo had taken up her dwelling iu a house
whieh was rent Irom lop to bottom, and almost
leaning against the poles which were put up
props to the archeB on which it rested. I slopped
and spoke to a thriving shopkeeper, who was look
ing out eagerly for customers. ''What can I do V
be said, " I have 20 000 ducats Invested here, and
and I must look alter them." Of the carbineer!
I heard only golden opinions—their praise was in
every man's mouth ; and T must express my opin.
iou lhat even in England greater order could not
have been preserved, fewer acts of violence com
mitted, or tbat the Government aud local author
ilies could bave lavished more care and attentiou
than have beeu displayed in Torre de Greco on

dowu several times to Inspect, and tbe National
Bank, according lo last night's Gazette, bas contributed 5,000 lire and opeued a subscription for
tbe relief of the poor.
____ Olil California n on Cariboo.
Major WL Dowuie—who gave bis name to Down-
levlUe, Siena county—wriles from Victoria, V. I
i<dii
February, in the Sierra   Citizen,
follows :
To the Sierra County Miners— There is plenty
ol gold io Cariboo. I have seeu it; und when
yon get upon lbe lead, it d-jii't take long to make
what isoallefta pile. The same blue lead is iu
Cariboo that rnns through Sierra county, but the
country is entirely different. The ridges arc densely wooded, and lhe ground is wet and swampy.
At Lhe lower ends oi lbe creeks Ihere are generally
hikes—small lakes—and marshy land. I bave not
seen, as yet, any indication of basins iu the hills,
as the bed rock shows itself on the top ofthe ridges
aud mountains surrounding tbe rich creeks. The
gold is coarse aud mixed with quartz. I have seen
more gold taken out and iu less time iu Cariboo
than I ever seen in California, and you are aware
I have seen   gold diggings around DownieviUe.
To those cf you who intend coming to Cariboo
this summer, remember that Cariboo is a long
distance Irom Victoria. It is easier to go from
here to San Fraucisco than toCariboo. Mule teams
cannot ^et into Cariboo before the middle or latter
part of June ; that is, if there are auy of tbem
living by that time ; and Irom preseut appearances
iu Victoria—(snowing to-day, February 2_lb)—
things look rather blue, although the Victorians
don't care how many come, even if they bave  to
g_ buoU ogam tu   l'_r Maud   or   gfcn   lYu i.oieo'
long as they make something by emigrants co
here.
Now, don't come without means. If any of you
bave from $300 lo $100, and not very food claims,
come on and try your luck, by leaving California.
By starting in May you will be iu time enough.
Fifty dollars and a good pair of boots will take
you Irom Victoria to Cariboo; but when you gel
there remember ihere will be snow in June, aud
provisions very high—flour aud beans from oue
dollar to oue dollar and a half per pound. Everything will be very high aud no credit for new comers. Now, my advice to the miners ol Sierra counly
is this ; Come north if you thiuk you can stand it;
that is, wilh regard to means—for 1 thiuk there is
one more show left the old '49-ers. I am confident
that Sierra miners can do well, whether they come
north to the Cariboo, or to try the S .Imon river
ioee. Don't all'get the fever at once and jump
up and come off to Victoria ; keep cool, and thiuk
well before you go any place if you are doing well.
I do not think the gold region exit nding north
will be prospected in the next five years ; so I say
again, keep cool. If you can't come this spring,
you can next.
To families who wish to go to keeping houses
or farming, I would say tbat British Columbia offers
the bust inducements of any part I know of, at tbe
present time, on the Pacific coast.   By  raising

Fanny   Fkrn u On   the Fknce,"—Thus writos
the caustic Fanny on  non committal ones:
A   public writer who  hampers   his thoughts  or
his pen, wilh the futile hope of offending nobody,
had   better take   to some line of business where
pusillanimity is considered  a   virtue.    I,   for   one,

ing a man, or a set of men,  individually, and asking
pardon  for the painful   necessity   of hating   them
geographically.    I don't understand making believe
knocking a man, or a set  of men,   down with one
hand, while patting them affectionately on the back
wilh the other. In short, ''neutrality," which seem6
be   the word embodied of   Judus-Iscariolism, i
in my   dictionary.    My boundary line bna.no
zigzag in it.   I know a sheep from a goat; a lamb
from a  wolf; and am not a  fraid to  call both   by
their light   names,  thought I'm not a man.    What
is a mau anyhow?    For, by the  holy prophet I am
noii-plussed now-a days for  an answer.   It  would
aeem, iu some instances, to be a creature who bow:
aud cringes to the basest,   and humbly begs pardon
for coming into the world at all,   unless it come iu a
coach and  Bix.
Now I was born. That wa3 not my fault. What
worse I was born a woman, which was au aggravation ofthe insult, onty to be computed by a
sufferer, and that not a fellow sufferer. But now I
am here, under such discouraging circumstances, I
will, at least, take a woman's pftvilege, and say
what I like. Why not? A woman is not eligible
to any office. I can't be President. I can't have a
foreign diplomacy. I am not a politican. to tread
tiptoe over the map of the Uuited States. It
stands to reason, then, I needn't be bowing and
cringing to the four points of the compass, for fear
I shall bo laid on Lhe shelf or turned out ol office.
Thank goodness, that though I'm sunk low enough
to be a woman, I'm "not a m .u," with an India
rubber creed and an elastic spring knee, to bend to
everybody who cracks ihe whip lash of interest or
policy Over my head. There, it thia is not a feminine oration, you may live to the age of Me-
thuseleh before you'll hear one more so.

mal had broken though a woolen partition into
an adjoining cage, containing a single panther,
with whicii it was engaged in a terrible combat.—
An iron b_r was brought into reqiislion, and the
liger was strongly belabored with a view to driv.

the panther from his cluches. These means however, only exasperated the royal beast still further,

held him witb bull dog tenacity uutil he wag quite

Population of tiik British Provinces in North
Amkkica.—From the Montreal Jonrnal of Education we take tho following statistics of the popula
lion of Canada and other British provinces aa
shown by the census ol lSfJl : Canada West,
1,895,222; Canada East, 1,103,666; New Brunswick 250,000 ; Nova Scotia, 330,857 ; Newfound
land, 122,633. Total—3,20_,3S3. The whole of
these province, do not contain a population equal
to the State of New York, which is 3,887,5-12. Thus
it will be seen, that New York* alone ia more than:
able to cope with all the British possessions in America.

but how far their patriotism goes will be evidenced
by the following abstract ofa conversation which
ensued between the Commodore and one of them:

Burn softly on her cheek ;
And you know that her voice is rich and low,
Thotlgh you never have heard her speak _
So full are her glorious eyes of light,
That lhe spirit of joy wi'lls o'er.
And wherever her blisslul pathway tends,
A giory Hits oo helore.
Oh I very grand are the city holies,
Of a brilliant and stately mien,
As they walk the step of the Btntely dance,
And flirt iu the pause between -
But beuealh the boughs ot the hoary oak,
Where the minstrel fountains play,
I think that tlie artlasi village girl
Is sweeter hy far thuu they.
Oh I very grand arejhe city belles,
But iheir hearts are wont away
By the _e6tt«eflged wu-rld, and their lifeB haVe lost
Tlie beauty and mirib of May j
They move where the sun nod starry dews
Ruign not _  ihey are haughty and bold,
And ihey do not shrink Irom ihe cursed mart
Wheie I'LaKh Is tho slave of gold.
But the starry dews and the genial sua
Have ripened her youth to love,
And lor one fond look to the earth below
She hath ten for the Heaven above j
Her feet are beautiful on the hills,
As the step of au Oriiut morn,
And llulh was never so fair as she
Iu the midst cl the autumu corn.
Oome, Effie, give me   tby loyal hand,
It is pure as the Pariau .tone—
And tell me again I mny call thee mine,
When the winter winds have flown.
Il is true lhat yon make the stoi*m=-clouds bright,
But is it not litter llial we
Should wed when Lhe spring—thy Bister—comes,
To be a bridesmaid to theei
The buds shall blossom as bloom our hopes_
And the earth shall malic glad replies
To i-he ipusic that ripples about our hearts,

The delicate inoniiuu: ol Lave shall close,

ihe monstrous   frauds which some   men, as if uiak

Among  other startling  facis which come out in
the course of these revelations corroboratory of the
statements   and charges  of the Van   VVyck Investigating  Committee, are  these i
That the Government paid $14,500 to one W. KL

Badger,,, for which Staibuck only paid $0 5u0,
while acting  as the agent ofthe   Government.
'hat, over and above this, was paid five per cent.
commission upon the $ 4.500, an additional 2_ per
cent, upon llic same sum for advancing the money I.'
That the Naval Secretary, though convinced
that there was "something wrong'' (his owu word)
in thia transaction, nevertheless paid the money,
(though the responsibility seems to bo shuffled off
on Commodore Breese, of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.)
That the steamer Stars and Stripes, which cost
owners but $85,b.O was sold to tin Government for
$55,000; Mr. Morgan (Government Agent) being
made to belivo that it cost .00,000 to build her. The
Secretary endeavors lo whitewash the transaction by
arguing to prove that the owners built the vessels
remarkably cheap, and that in point of fact, she
was, at the time ofthe purchase, worth the $55,
000 paid for her.
That lhe Penguin, anothor vessel of less tonnage
