"A freSco painting has been discovered, says
the European Magazine, at Pompeii. which
represents Vesuvius in state of eruption,
emitting flames and torrents of lava. Re-
ligious professions are seen at the foot of the
mountain; and Cape Misenum and the city
OF Neapolis, are perfectly distinguished in
the distance. Vesuvius must, since its ex
ecution, have become much lower; for in
the painting it is of an extraordinary height.
1t Is evident that the mountain Somma has
been formed by subsequent eruptons, as
there is no appearance of it in the picture.


Susgnehanna 7rade.--A vast and un-
precedented amount of property has passed
down the Susquehanna the present season.
For three weeks past, the river has been
literally covered with boats, arks and rats,
laden with coal-bituminous from Clearfeld
County, and anthracite from Susquehanna
County-lumber of every description, plas-
ter, whiskey, potatoes, cheese, wheat, -four,
pig metal, &c. Every succeeding year shows
the growing Importance of the Susquehan-
ma Trade, the extraordinary fertility Of
the valleys bordering upon it, the industry
of the inhabitants. and the vast mineral
wealth with which the State abounds.


Up to the 4th inst. 254 arks, 523 RATS and
~ oosteo oiA Ai'eu ~e " PanoSd Soiuhioit,
OH that day SO or 70 of these varieties of
river craft we're on their way past that town.
A great number of arks and RATS stop at the
towns above Columbia, so that the foregoing
is but fraction of the commerce of the Sus-
quehanna. Besides, keel boat navigation
may be said to end at Columbia, and many
boats of this description do not proceed fur
ther down the river than York Haven.
Since the 4th of this month many more arks
and RATS have been passing down daily tn an
before that period. We understand that
the trade in lumber is brisk, on account of
the demand in the cities of the sea board.


1t appears from series of experiments by
Mr.. Davies, Of Manchester that the flame
of candle lie a conical surface, the interior
of which is not luminous-a section of the
fame being narrow luminous ring surroun-
ding an obscure disc.
