VOLCANic ERuPTION IN JAVA.- 1 shall give you an account, as far as information 1 has yet reached us, of an eruption of the f burning mountain Kloeb, about 70 miles 1, from thi.-It occurred on the night of the c 16th of May. The first symptoms wereI a tremnlons motion of the earth in the vi. f cinity of thie mountain, thea several re. ports like dlistant cannonading, and then the fiamues burst forth, followed by streams I of' burning lava, stones and ashes-a sight !I once seen never to be forgotton. So sud. I den was the eruption, that no steps conld ( be taken by the inhabitants of the vii ilaes in the neighsborhood to esca p' the impein. dinmg danger. Shortly amfter the flume j burst fort h, there came down the sides of the mountain a stream of lava, mixed ithl I red hot stones, sand and mud, aid carry.

Down this river (the Konto) came trees of large sizse. as at. 5s~dlbn Taloes, botih wild and tame, ti. ges and the dleud bodies of' thme villagers; hofore this stream of lava the fish in the river were dIriveln; andl boat loads~ were takent from the suirthecn of thu water, not1 yet cleuud, but floating upon01 the surface, efidently &undeav'odig to get dir; ihou sands were, takern by, titatives, and pro. hably as many more iventqot1 .0 Them wvater in. ,the. river wasquito wyrm for miles round the mouht'alW,. and pte it black frm- mnud and:ashese A'.lae b body~ lf treek, drivAe b-efore thO strong cen. remnt iitlie river dar'eeiti ce tet *ith 'a htd' tdd ris n crried It ayy a seri'o1I al.,it had beeni butrteeni ly ompltedl a Ia greoo qx pease, and wvap one of the longest, if not tha longest bridgp in Java. ato oth MtW .1,~t~ 4th large establishahent. therewilt be9 purtionate,0pes; the firm will .1 ab .to pin 9I c Ol itueirmor intgrity It- for- very .ri thatd failureis mp by afirm tilnts Merchas MIadne It "THI- W(pow -13E109 'p - J1 e He reWar s Ret r da o e e (She sits qoinon log, and ipgaI Ere9 I lMa dg rW n was "npApgigefl r.
