The Indian mail brings advices of another of those dread- fil earthquakes for which Ternati and the adjoining locali-| ties in the Moluccas, are proverbial. An eruption of the! getive voleano on the island of the Great Sangir, in long. 125 50 E., and lat. 3 50 N., has occurred. The north-| gestern port of the island of Great Sangir is formed by the gountain Awn, which has several peaks, the highest being shout 4,000 feet above the sea. On the west side the goantain runs Very steep into the sea, at the height of the! rge Village of Kandhar, however, falling away toa low!
mmontory. Between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of the 2d of March a sudden and altogether indescribable erashing noise was heard, which, indicating to the Sangirese an eruption of the volcano, filled them with consternation. Simultaneously with this the glowing lava streamed down-| wards with irresistible force in different directions, bearing | with it whatever it enceuntered on its destructive course, and | causing the sea to boil wherever they came in coutact. The hot springs opened up and cast out a flood of boiling water, which destroyed and carried away what the fire had spared. The sea, obedient to an unusual impulse, lashed the rocks with frightful violence, dashed upon the shore and heaved itself with a wild haste against the land as if it strove to overmaster the fire-stream. This frightful picture of de- struction, the horror of which was increased by the shrieks | of men and beasts, the wild roaring of the tempest and the crashing of thousands of trees torn up and carried away, was | followed about an hour later by peals of thunder which shook the ground and deafened the ear. and ashes then shot up from the mountain to an immense | heighth, and fell, illumined by the ‘glare of the lava, like a} shower of fire upon the surroundivg country below, produc- | ing a darkness that, only now and then momentarily broken by the flashes of lightning, was so intense that people could not diseern objects close at hand, and which completed their confusion and despair. Large stones were hurled through the air, ernshing whatever they fell upon. Houses and crops | which had not been destroyed by fire, sunk and disappeared beneath the ashes and stones, and the hill streams, stopped by these barriers, formed lakes, which breaking over their hanks, soon proved a new source of destruction. This lasted some hours. About midnight the raging elements sank to rest ; but on the following day about noon, they again resumed their work of destruction with renewed violence. In the meantime the fall of ashes continued without intermission, | and was so thick on this day that the rays of the sun could | not penetrate through it, and an appalling darkness prevailed. | Searcely recovered in some degree from their fright, the-in- | habitants of this deso'ated part of Sangir were again dis-| turbed by an eruption on the 17th of March, which destroyed many fields and a great number of trees on the Tabukan side. Siuee then the volcano has remalned quiet, and the only symptom of its working has been the smoke rising up in ali directions from cracks and fissures in the ground. The streams of lava on the slopes are still so slightly cooled that people dure not venture to any great distance from the! According to the accounts of the natives, the top of | the mountain does not appear to have undergone any notice- able alteration. (Gn the other side of Kandhar, on the) extreme north poiut of the island, the appearance of the de- | vastation which has been caused, is, if possible, even more | frightful than what has taken place at Tartuna., For here, wnere formerly there were to be seen extensive fields, bearing | all kinds of crops, and thicxly planted and endless groves of eovoa-nuts, we now find nothing but lava, stone, and ashes. The liquid fire scems at this point to have flowed from the | mountain with irresistible force and in prodigious quantity. Not only has this fearfu! flood, as it were, buried the whole | district and all that was upon it, but afier having caused | this destruction over an exteut of several miles, it was still | powerful enough, on reaching the shore, to form two long tanjonygs (eapé=) at places where the depth of water furme: ly consisted of many fathoms. A number of other districts and places have been some wholly destroyed, othe:s greatly injured by the fire. The loss of life has been great. It is estimated as follows in the undermentioned districts :—Tar- tuna, men, women, and children, 722; Kandhar, ditto, 45; Tabukan, ditto, 2,039; Total 2,806. The greater number | met their death in the gardens. They fled in all directions, but were overtaken and swallowed up by the fatal fire-stream. | Sume tried to save themselves in the trees, but were either | carried away with themor killed by the scorching heat. At Calougan and Tariang the houses were fille] with people
shore.
-who were stopped in their flight by the lava streaming down
on all sides and the streams of boiling water, and who met their death under the burning ashes and the tumbling houses.
Mahy who had reached the shore and thought themselves | —
safe became a prey to the furious waves, and many died | through sheer despair and agony.

LRELAND,
Mr. Smith O’Brien has published a letter during the last | few days, addressed to the editor of an Irish journal, in which | he refers with gratitude to the efforts which have been made, | without his knowledge, to procure his own unconditional re- | lease from captivity, so that he might return once more to his home. From this document, which is quite free from boast or fustian of any kind, we learn that no less than 140 mem- | bers of Parliament of all political opinions, memorialized | Lord Palmerston in the last session to grant this boon to Mr. | O’Brien,—that one gentleman twice made a voyage round the | world in the hope of carrying him away,—that the Canadian | Parliament petitioned for his restoration to Ircland,—that in | Van Diemen’s Land all the colonists, without reference to | country, treated him with the most considerate courtesy, — | and that the warmth of his reception in the free colonies of | Australia and in the United States, penetrated him deeply. | In conclusion, he says :—*‘ To all who have expressed or felt. sympathy, I would willingly tender my acknowledgments; ' and it is with this view that 1 address to you this letter, in the hope that it may obtain extended publicity.”” We an- nounced recently that Mr. O’Brien had for the present declined to enter Parliament, and to this determination he appears still | to adhere. Experience, a bitter monitor, has evidently pro- duced a strong uupression on the mind of Mrs Smith O’Brien.
Tue Mvrixy anv Trrats at Nexaan.—On Wednesday, | the cases of the persons implicated in the mutiny at Nenagh | were finally djsposed of at the North Riding of Tipperary | assizes. ‘Thomas Carr, a lance corporal of the Tipperary Militia, was put upon his trial as a ring-leader in the recent | riot. and was found guilty, whereupon all the other prisoners, uader the advice of their counsel, pleaded “ guilty.” Mr.’ Justice Moore then proceeded to sentence the prisoners :— Stephen Burns, for the wilful murder of Patrick Curley, a soldier of the 41st Regiment, to be hanged, and his body | baried within the precincts of the gaol ; John Barron, Edward Laffan, William Cummins, Thomas Carr, and Cornelius Ryan, to be each transported for 15 years.

(Extract from the Minutes of the City Council.)
y HEREAS in the opinion of this Council, it has become imperatively necessary that a correct plan of this City ‘should be made from an actual survey thereof, by civil En- | gineers or Surveyors of skill and experience: Be at therefore | Resolved, That a plan of the City be made from actual survey, and that the Surveyor who shall make the same, be guided by | the following regulations :— '
SPECIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO A SuRvEY AND PLan To BE TAKEN AND MADE or THE City or CuARLOTTETOWN,
A line to be run along Water-street as nearly as can be in |the same place and in the same direction as the line laid ;down on a plan drawn by the late Surveyor General, George | Wright, in the year 1834, which line is described in a field | book, a copy of which may be taken at the City Clerk’s office. | This line to extend from the fence enclosing Fort St. George |eastwardly to the foot of Weymouth-street, and all the dis- | tances to be taken from the said line to the buildings at each |corner on either hand, and a record made of the same after | this line has been run ; lines are then to be run up each of the streets from Water-street to Euston-street, at right angles \from the line on Water-street, and all the distances taken | from those lines to the buildings adjoining right and left at }each cross street. The distance is then to be chained from the line on Water-street to the centre of Richmond-street, at each end, namely, at Weymouth-street aud at Pownal-street. A line is then to be run along Richmond-street from end to end, and the distances taken as before described. The distance is then to be chained from the centre of Richmond-strect to the centre of Kent Street, and a line run through Kent-streect from end to end, and the distances taken from the contre line to the buildings on either hand. The distance will then be chained to the centre of EKuston-street, and a line run from end to end of said street, and the distances laid off in’ the same manner, as before described. The five remaining east and west streets, namely, King, Dorchester, Sydacy, Grafton and Kitzroy, to have centre lines ryn through them, parallel with Water- strect, and the several distances right and left from said lines laid off in the same way and manner, as herein before de- scribed fur the other streets.
After the survey has been made, in aecordanoe with the above directions, a plan will then have to be made of the sur- vey on the scale of eighty feet to the inch. The said plan to be drawn in fine lines, describing all the lots, squares, &e. ; and also, shewing in fine dotted lines, all the variations in the several boundaries from the regular lines. The survey will also haye to include sections on the same scale as the plan of the several streets; shewing the actual surface, outline and the heights from high water mark.
The plan to be drawn on the best drawing paper and pro- perly backed with linen, and bound on the edges with linen jtape, and to be sufficiently large to allow a plan of, the lots | below Water-street to the edge of the channel, taking in the wharfs and stores, to be hereafter added on the same seale.
The Surveyor to supply all the labour and materials ne- cessary to be provided in making such survey and plan, and the whole of the survey and plan shall be subject to the approval of any competent Land Surveyor or Civil Engincer, who shall be appointed by the City Council to examine and pronounce upon the accuracy of the same.
And be it further Resolved, That advertisements for Tenders for Surveying the City and making a correct plan thereof, pursuant to the above instructions, be inserted in the papers published in this City.
