i tin. A NEW POEM IIY TENNYSON. [The following stanzas are the contribution of tbo author of J&» Memoriem to fl ne# annual .'or 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 thin gad occasion. General La Marmora has been 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 THE MIDMGHT WIND. The wind that comes up from tbe Bca is bold, Aud riots about my door, And shakes my wiudows with fingers cold, Aud repents a lalo that I heard of old Far dowu on tho wave-beat shore I It shrieks like a soul that bath lost Its way, Like a sad, sad heart it sighs, It whispers as ii it would fain belray Wbat lhe waves iu Iheir wild coi To the black aud threatening i state Locating _B_ open Iff location.

And it moans and shrieks through the long loug night, Till my heart and brain grow wild, With ils wordless burden of gloom and blight Brought up ou tbe sea on its wings of might To my couch o( sleep beguiled! Afar from my dwelling be thou O Wind! O Wind of lbe wintry sea ! There are those long mourned in my heart enshrined, Lost voices there are with thine own entwined, Canst gather them back for me? 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, li.iv_ no* j--6 Ic_ibloJ the hi.ii• .[.lining art, of adniii" 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. produce in British Columbia, the ten per cent, is saved and the trausport besides. 1 Ihiuk families would do well iu Ihia colony.

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.''
