— Vesuvius continues to throw most superbly; the lava flovi^s again; at sun-set he shewed that Tyrian hue, which he assumes sometimes, and which has a glow beyond descrip- tion. I find I begin to speak Italian, so as to make myself easily understood, and to comprehend the bawling in the streets. I had undressed my- self, and was prepared to get into bed, when a violent shock from the mountain aoitated the door of my room, so as to startle me not a little. I went into my sitting-room, and upon o...pening the window towards the mountain, I perceived all the top of the cone covered with red-hot matter. At the same time such a roaring was heard, as made me expect something more than common. In an instant, a column of lucid fire shot up into the air, and after ascending above half the height of the cone itself, fell in a glorious parabolic girandole, and covered near half the cone with fire. This was followed, after an interval of about thirty seconds, by a shock which agitated the doors and windows, and indeed the whole house, in a most violent manner ; immediately after this shock, the sound of the explosion reached us louder than the greatest cannon, or the most terrible thunder, attended with a noise like the trampling of horses' feet, which of course was nothing more than the noise occasioned by the falling of so many enor- mous stones among the hard lava.
