It has M-Joecui further ascertained, that tho basis ^or this over-issue has beou a loan to ' the Captain-General of less than $50, ? 000,000 in specie currency, without opeoio to back op the notes. Iu addi? tion to this immense issue, a very large quantity of counterfeit bills buve been destroyed, and this has created so much excitement in Havana, that specie is going up rapidly, aud many persous are exchanging their currency for real estate and buildings. Iu tho erection of the i lattor, there has lately been great aetivi ?,' ty?the owners of paper money being ? fur more anxious to havo property iu buildings than to hold any quantity of depreciating currency. An effort made V to introduce foroigu specio into Cuba os curroncy has not beou vory success? ful so far; tho specie has ouly gone into tbo ports and out again iu foreign trade. The discovarj' of ull these facts, tho Cuban letters state, has thrown tho financial condition of tho country into a state of chaos uud destroyed the calcu M lotions of all foroigu morohants trading with Havana. 4 Mr. Richard Ashoton Cross.

In his last lecture on the Old Testa? ment history, Or.

These mummies were hig'uiy valued as heirlooms of the family, aud oveu sometimes pawned for louus of money." Think, says the Courier-Journal, of a frugal and bust? ling young housewife uow-a-days crying out over the banister, "Bridget, dust otT grand p i, and make him look nice; husband has gone down to negotiate a loan on him." In the United States Supreme Court several casts tiro pending iu the nature of a test us to the obliglatious of Kurth eru life insurance compuoics ;h|cb bad agencies in the S Mth tip to ti 0 break? ing out of the war.

The Volcanic Outburst in North Carolina.?The Now York Herald thos scientifically comawuts on this lust bou sution: "Tho c>loot no wires have, perhaps, ?ever fla^tied more Bturtling tidings of physical couvulsion than tho announce ment of yesterday evening, that a vol? canic eruption wa3 imminent in the mountains of North Caroliua. No go ologist of the present century has ever ventured, we believe, to predict that the Appalachian chain, at our own doors, would over again be disturbed by those throes with which, iu the so-called pre? historic epoch, they were supposed to have beeu convulsed. Tho intelligence as now convoyed to us roveals a terres? trial disturbance winch, so far as wo know, has no parallel on thir continent during tho historic period. The historic ticoouuU of American volcanoes are uoutiuud to tho Western coast of the continent, lying iu that belt of fire which Streiches from tho Patugonian aud Chilian Anden, through tho isth? mian mountains, far awuy tu the North? westward, along tho fog-shrouded shores of British Columbia. Wo uro told by Huydeu that, iu a remote goologio period, tho outire country dr.uued by the Yellowstone aud Columbia Rivers was the scene of volcanic activity as tierce as that of any portion of the glob?, aud that it formed one vast crater made up of a thousand smaller volcanic vents and fissures, out of which the fluid rock was hurled iu unlimited quan? tities. Wo know that Mounts Douuo, Lriugford, Stevcuaou und more than a hundred others were tho nuclei of eyclopean lire* that rivalled many on the shorts of the Mediterranean. Hum? boldt has recorded the almost incon? ceivable upheaval in Mexico, in 1759, whuti on tho night of September 29, be? tween the setting aud the rising of the sun, tho volcanic eono of Jorullo rose iu fiery splendor 1,CS3 feet above tho plain, iu the middle of August, 1S6S, when the Pacific Oceau cumu rushing into Ihn port of Valparaiso, many of us remombor how its shoe!:, responsive to the deep upheavals of the Pacific coast, spread terror und dismay iu the streets of Sau Francisco. At that time tho shaking of the earth extended far in? land iu California. The grouud opened; jots of water wero ejected from it; many buildings were demolished, and ever siuce tuen the inhabitants of the land of gold have lived in constant uneasi? ness. "All these rockiugs of the continent have occarred on the Western elopes. The ooncusaious which have been trans? mitted from the West Indian aud At? lantic earthquakes to the Mississippi Valley have been scarcely perceptible, and made but little or no impression ou tho popular mind. Tho nearest ap? proaches to volcanic uctioti iu the Mis? sissippi Valley have beeu the occa? sional slight disturbances in the bayous and estuaries of the lower Mississippi, which have been traced to the agency of the Mexioau Gulf and its underlying volcanic furnace. Thero is no doubt it is a centre of plutouio force, and Figuier, tho cmiuent French physicist, has gone so far as to suppose that its sub marine furnace partly accounts for the supor-heated waters which emerge through tho Florida Pass us the great Atlantic current. V'lt is not impossible there may bo a connection between this volcanic centre and tho foundations of the Alleghaoy peaks, from one of which, in Western North Carolina, the present eruption is' reported. Tho Alleghauics form an ap? parently isolated barrier, or rather se-1 ries of isolated upheavals, extending from Alabama to Maine, with a mean altitude of 2,000 feet. The two bro? thers, the Bogerses, so eminent as Ame? rican geologists, who most fully explored them, lirst pointed out the extraordinary fact that they havo no central axis, but consist of a series of convex aud concave llexuroH, giving them the appearance of so many colossal entrenchments. Mount Mitchell, the loftiest, and Mount Wash? ington, tho next iu altitude, guard either tlmk of the series. The Western slope of the whole range, runuing from the Giuoseo oouutry uf New York to ; the Mussel Shoals of the Tennessee River, are skirted by n deep underlying bed cd' limestone. This latter fact is significant, and may give u clue to the origin of tho volcanic action iu North Carolina. If, as Sir Charles Lyell, the highest geological authority, asserts, volcnnot - uro due lo chemical action in J the bowela uf the earth, and not to an j internal sea of lire, it is not inconceiva? ble how such chemical action lias etil ', initiated iu tho present fiery disturbance in North Carolina; but we anxiously wait for farmer intelligence for the data from which to draw a satisfactory cm elusion." There is a rather remarkable Liil bo fore the New York Legislature for secur? ing pure liquors lo consumers iu tho city of New York. It prohibits, under [severe penalty, the eotmtoi feiling of any liquor, wine or beer; ntul the seller of tiuy such counterfeit shall bu held lo possess guilty knowledge thereof. It provides for a board of liquor examin? ers, consisting of Iwouty-scven che? mists, with twenty-four assistants, who shall be unsigned t> ?bity in Ihu various wards, and who, utter pn paring a ;..?!.e dulu of the exact composition ol nil pare j liquors, shall bu empowered lo compel I all ooaler.i to coufortu t<> Ihu t. .ndard, i under penalty of fine, imprisonment, I seizure ol liquor and revocation uf li I cense.
