Correspondence of the London Times. Napier, Dec. 10.—I returned too late from Tone del Greco to give you a detailed description of the eruption of Vesuvius by yesterday’s post, so, leaving for the present all the petty jealousies of the Neapolitans, let me give you fully the report of what I heard and saw on the spot, From Naples little is seen excepting those grand columns of smoke which rise gigantically into the air. and which, according to as close a measurement as could be mado, were calcu lated—that from the lower mouths at 10,000 feet, and that from the upper crater at 3, 000 feet in height. Our streets are free from the dust of the mountain, and though for some time after the sun rose it appeared to be in a state of eclipse, yet to witness all the wonders of the spectacle it is necessary to leave the capitol and visit the site of the disaster. From the coufinos of the city to Torre del Gieco one passes between two lines of a curious population who have turned out to see the crowds who flock down to Torre del Greco. The wind blows off the moun tain due North and South, so that, until you get just under the column, you are not exposed to the shower of dust which falls thickly and constantly, almost blinding one, and certainly not conducing to easy respiration. On arriving at the devoted little town, which numbers, by-the-by, 2,600 souls, I found the place, except at the station, almost deserted. Every house was abandoned, aud, as proving how rapid was the flight, melens and other articles still hung suspended outside the windows. At the station there was a vast crowd of persons, some of the last lingering inhabi tants, with beds and other articles of furni ture, anxious to be off; other consisting of the Bersaglieri and Nationals, who remain ed to guard the place, for misfortune is no protection against the hordes of thieves who just at present drive a thriving trade in the neighborhood. The first thing which strikes the eye is the blackened appearance of every object, the fine dust, which had fal en in heavy shower, lying four and half inches in depth in the streets and on the tops of the houses. Some of these were cracked horizontally across the flat roofs, and others perpendic- naily, but it is not until you t-'rn off at the left, a little beyond the station, that the full point, ascending the mountain, a number of houses are passed which have been most materially injured, from 400 to 500 in all, aud rendered to a certain extent usnafe. At one house in particular, a handsome building, too, tho proprietor, who had returned for some articles which he had left behind, was breaking the win dows to get in, entrance at the doorway being impossible. I shall nere insert the report which was sent to me yesterday morning by Glovani Cozzolino, the princi pal guide of the mountain, as it will ex plain precisely the site where ihe mouths which are now vomiting forth die, smoke, and lava, have been formed. On the 8th instant, at quarter past 11, A. M., a great trembling of the ground was felt at Torre del Greco, w hich con tinued at intervals of from five to teu minutes. The population were in great alarm, expecting an earthquake. At Rest this tremulous motion was felt, though not so strongly, about mid-day. Towards 3 o’clock in the afternoon a large opening was made in the ground above Torre del Greco, and a half a mile lower than the crater of 1774, and the first come was formed underneath the house of Francesco Cruel. This house was thrown into the air, as were four others, in a Messeria close by. The lava has arrived, an the morning of the 9th, at about a quarter of an hour’s walk above the Monastery of the Cappu- cini, which has been destroyed, and is a half a mile in breadth. All the houes in Torre have fissures in them, and the popu lation have fled to Naples. At the time that the new cones were formed, the top of the mountain was tranquil, but,about 2o’c!ock in the morning the grand crater at the summit burst out with a tremendous noise, throwing stones and ashes to a great heght: Evry effort of this kind is accom panied by a sound as of thunder. One of the guides, called Geunarino Sannino, while attempting to get a piece of the red- hot lava in which to put a coin, was killed on the spot by a stone which fell upon his head. The report is meagre, erroneous in some instance and some of the details have been modified by what has since taken place. The road and the streets by which you approach the principal point of interest are, in many places, open ed; and at the places alluded to by the guide there are not one only, but two con siderable cones and several smaller ones; indeed, in many places there are indications of the crust of the earth giving way to the subterranean fires. The principal of these cones is an ellipse, and both at first sent out a body of lova, which threatened Torre del Greco with rapid destruction.— One of those happy elevations, which so often change the current, divided into two streams, flowing down on either side— The opening of the main crater, too, at 2, P. M.,of Monday morning, diminished the violence of the lower stream, and possible saved the town. Last night the view which presented itself from my windows was very grand; the black column rose majestically, and was then carried off by the wind far over the sea, while forked lightning, as it were, and brilliant lights, such as those of Roman candles, playing about the crater. This morning the volumes of smoke are rising and rolling one over another in grand invo lutions, while the eastern sun behind them gives hues which it is difficult to describe. Beyond the pall which hangs over the sea it is impossible to see anything except when an opening is made by a gust of wind, and then one sees a picture of Sor rento or Capri hung in the centre of a deep black cloud. I think much property will he destroyed, though not many lives, as all have escap ed. What is ruin, however, to many, is prosperity to others, and there are many here who are calculating on a good season at last—on full hotels and much profit. December 11.—Vesuvius, though still active, has much diminished in violence— as the probability of earthquakes increa ses. Yesterday morning several violent chocks were felt, and still grater damage inflicted ou the town and neighbourhood, lam just going over, but shall have no time to repoit to day. Another person has been killed by falling into the lava, which rose on Monday morning to the height of twenty-eight palms. The Expeaies ef the I.incoln Gorcrnmrnt. The New York Commercial Advertiser rates the expenses of the Lincoln Govern ment as rather under than over one mil lion dollars per day. Tho statement is one of obvic'is miscalculation, in accept ing the amount of payments from the treasury as the measure of the daily ex penditure. The Government spends fast er than it pays, as attiRted by the grumb ling of its contractors .and other creditors. The New York Tribune makes a juster and more exact estimate of the actual cost to the North of the war it is waging. It says, “there is not a man less than half a million of soldiers (regular, volunteer and militia,) this day looking to the Federal Treasuryfor food, clothing, transportation and pay ; and our army has hitherto cost us fully 81,000 per man per annum, or about 83 per day. We do not believe tho average is below this at present, especial
