p _ „ ., ... Anothkb Democratic Victory . —The election for the department of the Vosges has terminated in favour of the Democratic candidate . M . Gmlgot , the democrat , obtained 31 , 195 votes , while General Raoul , the Government candidate , obtained 23 , 779 votes . The curious part of the affair is , that General Raoul 13 dead . He died on the Thursday before the election , but his death was not known to the electors . Had the majority been in favour of General Raou ! , there would , according to thelaw of France , bs another election .
Some time since that M . Victor Henneqmn , one of the editors of the 'Democratic Paeifique , ' was condemned by the criminal court of Paris to a year ' s imprisonment and a fine of 2 . 000 f ., for saying ( what was true , ) that the President of the Republic had not paid up his subscrip tion 50 , 000 f . to the cites ouvrieres . The excessive injustice and severity of the case created considerable sensation . M Hennequin appealed , and the Court of Cassation ias qaashed . the whole of the proceedings , on the ground that they were irreaular .
Pakis , Susday .-M . Vidal , who was recently elected as representative for Paris , was eleeted at the same time in the department of the Lower Rhine . He has intimated his intention of making his option for the Lower Rhine , w that there -will be a new election for Paris . M . Emile de Girardra las already announced himself as a candidate for Paris on the Republican interest . The moderate papers begin already to cry ont against M . Vidal for making feis option in favour of -the Lower Rhine , instead of for Paris ; and to
complain that the object of the Socialists is 'tokeep op the agitation of the capital , and to revive thB passions which were beginning to be ex tinguished . It is only two days since the same papers were taunting the Socialists with not daring to risk another election in the capital , and proclaiming that tbey were sure to be bsaten . The facts appears to be , that M . Vidal had given a promise to his supporters in the Lower Rhine to elect in favour of that department , in the event of his beiog twice elected , and that they now hold him to his
bargain . . . The petition of the delegates of the provincial journals against the law on the press was presented on Monday to the committee charged to examine that law . 'La Presse' announces that the Minister of Finance las resolved to propose a duty on paper on its removal from the manufactory . Several arrests were made on Saturday evening at a house in the Rue Sonfflet , where- a secret meeting was held to onjanise a subscription for the dismissed Socialist schoolmasters . Eighty persons are in custody at the Prefecture de Police , and some important papers , arms , and revolutionary emblems were discovered at their residences .
Tuksdat . —Yesterday , the ' Voix du Penple was seized for an article entitled 'Malthusiasm and Socialism / The Moniteur , ' in announcing that fact , says that its responsible editor is to be prosecuted—first , for an outrage against the religion the establishment of which is legally recognised in Prance ; and , secondly , for an attack against the principle of property . The National Guard of Lezignan ( Ande ) have been dissolved by decree of the President of the Sepublic .
GERMANY . Mtjsich , Makch 21 . —Last nig ht the patrols in the street were doubled , and precautionary measures adopted , fears being entertained that the prohibition of all newspapers in the-: public-houses , and taverns will cause public disturbances . SWITZERLAND . The delegates of certain societies of German workmen were arrested a few days ago at Morat , in Switzerland , and their papers were seized . It appears from them that they wer . * in communication with several German associations relative to a new armed expedhion against the Grand Duchy of Baden . In consequence of this discovery tbe Federal Council had taken severe measures to prevent the execution of the design .
ITALY . HOME , March 20 . - The result of the late elections in France has filled the more zealous upholders of despotism in tbe Papal dominions with dismay , and they begin again to anticipate some unpleasant complication of events in that quarter , by which the final and undisputed restoration of the reigning Pontiff to the independent throne of his predec essors may be delayed and endangered , if not altogether hindered . . . The probability of Rome being ' honoured ' with the presence of the Papal court so long as the French-army garrisonB the city is , of course , di minished by the threatening aspect of the Parisian horizon , but it 13 not in France alone that the progress of socialism affords ground for serious apprehensions amongst tbe partisans of governments of
anden regime . Here , also although communism and socialism are almost words without meaning , so little have they been brought under public consideration , the republican principle is obtaining a Steady development ; the followers and agents of Mazzini are unwearying in their propagandist labours , and secret societies , the inevitable consequences of a tyrannical and oppressive form of government , are multiplying in numbers and importance , in spite of their members being now and then thinned by exile or imprisonment . One of these societies , entitled the ' Italian Association , Las the following ostensible ends in view , which are distributed in . prospectuses printed at a soidlsant ' Italian Typography' as audaciously afi if neither censor of the press , sbirri , or prisons were in existence in the city .
The Italian association tends to unite in one common idea , both as to means and end , all those elements of Italian action which aspire to effect the liberty and the independence of Italy . Every member of the association must consider it to be based upoa tie following articles : —1 . To sacrifice to the common good every sentiment of private interest or self- ! ove . 2 . To lend all possible aid in educating and Instructing . 3 . To labour in the propagation of the Unitarian republican principle . 4 . To demonstrate to the people their rights and their duties . 5 . To combat immorality under whatsoever aspect it nay present itself . 6 . To take especial care of the children and youth ef the poorer classes . 7 .

THE LATE ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS .-. ¦ ¦ ¦ NAPLES , Feb . 24 th . —The insufferable dullness and g loom which have reigned in this fair city for some weeks past , malgre the Carnival and the usual balls and gaieties , have at last been dispelled by the excitement caused by one of the finest eruptions of Mount Vesuvius ever known . For some twelve or fourteen days , the mountain has been in labour , g iving manifest indications , by groans and wailings . of bringing forth speedily something more than a mouse . On the 6 tb , volumes of smoke and vapour , with occasional sheets of flame , were succeeded , from timeto time , by awful subterranean rumblings ; and
on the morning of the 7 th the lava made its appearance , running down the mountain , on tbe side of Torre Annunziata , in seven or eight distinct streams . On the evening of the latter day , a party of 113 ascended to the . Hermitage , and thence , on foot ,, with guides and torches , to the cone , from whence a fine view was obtained of . the lava at a white heat , as it was pumped out of the crater , and thence bent its way in the direction of Pompeii and the Boscb Reale . This ascent was very fatiguing and disagreeable , and one of the party had a narrow escape of fracturing a limb by a fall . During the ni ght of the 8 th the roaring and bellowing of the crater kept most people from enjoying their rest , and on the whole of the
9 th , volumes of smoke , lava , and vapour , together with huge stones and serriae , were ejected without intermission . On the evening of this day a special train was announced to leave Naples at six o ' clock for Torre Annunziata , returning at eleven . About four hundred natives and foreigners availed themselves of this opportunity ; and a strong party of Inglesi , with guides and torches , and mules and denkeys , proceeded from the station at Torre Annunziata to tbe Bosco Reale , which is about five miles , through narrow lanes and country roads . . There was no cause for apprehension ,-however , as the government bad taken care to send strong bodies of troops , both horse and foot , for the protection of
life and property , and the preservation of order . The sight that met our view on our arrival at the Bosco was grand in the extreme . The lava presented a frontage of about at least a mile and a half , and was advancing slowly but steadily and surely , and devouring everything in its way . On the road we had met parties of poor peasants carrying beds , chairs , pots and pans , and other moveable furniture , which they had been able to save from the devouring liquidthe women and children rending the air with their groans and cries and supplications to the good San Gennaro , the patron saint of these parts . These poer wretches were thrown on the world homeless , penniless . By the time of our arrival , which mas
about nine o ' clock , the lava had taken complete possession of the wood , having devoured about half of it . At times a row of three or four hundred saplings caught fire , simultaneously , producing a vivid flame that li g hted up the country for miles around . Some splendid full-grown ilex , oak , and ash trees , offered in the ponderous trvnks ' a momentary resistance ; but it was to no purpose ; the larger ones generally exploded with a loud report and a leap of twelve or fourteen f eet in the air , to be consumed like tinder on their descent . It was . curious to observe , when , from a sudden rush of lava , which always occurred after a temporary obstruction , how the larger trees gave out tens of thousands of little jets of steam from
the knees and elbows of the smaller branches . It was owing to the roots and trunks coming immediately and suddenly in contact with the lava , and before the whole tree had had a preparatory roasting previously to its final combustion . In these cases the tree generally exploded ; those , on the contrary , that had had their initiatory grilling , generally bowed their heads slowly and majestically , . dying , like Csesar , in their dig nity . : As . this novel and brilliant spectacle quite absorbed uur attention , the majority of us lost the return train to Naples , and we decided to pass the niijht on the spot . ¦ There was no moon , but the stars shone clearly , and the sky was cloudless ; a cold tramontana . however , on one side , and
the insupportable heat of the advancing furnace on . the other , made it necessary for us to keep revolving from time to time like bottle-jacks before the lava , to obviate being frozen on one ride aatl baked on-the other . At about three o ' cloek in the morning the eruption was at its height . Ihe amount of lava was quintupled , and the masses ef atones which shot up into the air descended with a reverberating crash . It was the discharge of these stones which caused a noise that , rendered , our voices inaudible : I can only compare it to the concussion produced by the broadside , of a , ' threedecker . The ground at times trembled under our feet , and a wailing , sobbing , distressing sound
seemed to indicate that nature was undergoing a horrible subterranean convulsion ; and thus gave vent to the ' throes and throbs' of her agony . At about four o ' clock the destroyer advanced to a farmhouse and outbuilding , which seamed from their solidity , being built of rubblestone , and joined with the well-known Roman cement , likely to offer a stout resistance . And here the lava seemed to be endowed with consciousness and instinct . No sooner did it feel the momentary check than it commenced rising like the water in the lock of a canal , and from being at its arrival about twelve feet deep , speedily rose to abeut thirty ; and attacking the bomb-shaped solid stone roof of tbe main building , and at the same time running in at the windows and doors , caused a . rarification and condensation of air , that made the whele concern saiiter with a
terrific report . A very serious accident nearly occurred at the time , from the incautious curiosity of a ' fretborn' citizen of the States . When no traces of the farm or offices was any longer visible , being covered by a smooth surface of liquid fire , the poor agriculturist , the proprietor , together with his sposa , their children , and some half-dozen louts , set op s yell , and beat their breasts , and tore their hair in the true Neapolitan fashion . In&tead of saving as much as they could from destruction beyond their mere bidding , they did not attempt to remove a single ; thing ; thus all the doors and fittings , mangers , troughs , ; also about an acre ^ of ^ abbages ,. carrots , and celery , together with various gates and fanning uteiwi's , were allowed to be destroyed . There was ample time to move those things , but they preferred howling and calling on San Gennara either to do it for them or stop the torrent of lira .

A still more inter « ting , and ^ affec 4 ing speqtaele mis presented about unhourrfterhyihedestrucHoa of ; a * mall church embosomed in-this hapless wood . The lava here , as at the farm , had a rather tough ; job from the ; ertrem ' e wlidity '« f the e 4 » fioe ; and with a sort . of instinct and . conscious pride in ' itS'OWn irresistible power , it dashed forward Je > the attack , despite thc .. moan « and -chanta < o !"; a ^ parcel of Franciscan friars connected with the church , aad of the . mute sorrow of the poor oittre .: ^ The prnanaerits of the altar , together witii the pictures , statuc ^ and finery of the Virgin tnd the patron saints , aud the parish records , had all been removed ; but the . incessant entreaties of tbe eurifailed to induce his
parishioners to put their shoulders to two fine deors , and'Iift them off their hinges to a place of security , which they could easily have . done ; , The belle also mig ht have been saved , withi diitle ! ex ' ertioni . * ? ty ; the ' . Vicgin or the patrou saint would either , appear corporeally , that is visibly , and stop the sacrilegious destroyer , ' or the edifice would-resist and go scatheless . : Erom time to time the bells were tolled mournfully , and cure , monks , and parishioBers chanted the funeral dirge of the-8 acred edifice where most had Ibien baptiied , and which was associated with all the prominent parts of their little . secluded lives . -The lava here insinuated ntseif into , the crypt of the building , thereby undermining it so that it
was literally a' temp le rent in twain , ' the two nearly equalportions of which rocked and tottered to their base , and then fell—belfry , bells , . and all—into the burning gulf . : ' Several passages , of the ' Inferno' ef IBante were called to recollection this night , and the divine poet ably describes what here palpably and tangibly represented , hell , though upon eartb . ; For half an hour an intense dark green fiime played over where once stood the doomed edifice , caused perhaps by the fusion of the bell-metal below . In other parts blue flames of various degrees of intensity and depth of colour , p layed and flickered'about . AH . nig ht parties arrived from Naples / who had misted the train ; aed the , wood was . glittering with Jorchea approaching and receding in . the , , distance
The arrival of a . large oedy of priests , mounted on all the available jackasses and mules in the neighbourhood for miles round , caused an immense sensation among the rustics , as there was little doubt thw worthy men would soon cettle the business of the ruthless ' enemy , and , put things to rights ; 60 to ' ii they went—clergy and laity ; and , on our departure from this scene of desolation ; and woe , the welkin resounded with the exertions of some ( hundreds of pairs of lungs . Much of the beauty of the effect faded on the approach of daylight , and when we lefti which was at exactly half past six in the morning , the lurid glare and vivid brilliancy of the lava was succeeded by a black c arbonaceous dulness , with only here and there a deep red glow ; the volume of lava had also diminished , and the crater was
hushed . Nature seemed to have a slight intermission of her pangs , to be resumed tbe folio wing evening . On our- return to Naples , we learned that a tragedy of another and a more sanguinary kind had been enacting elsewhere during the nig bt . Hun * dreds visited the crater itself , and the mountain was literally dotted with little bright starlike points , ascending and flitting like > will-o' -the-wisps .- , . The effect was p icturesque in the extreme . A party , of American officers of the squadron here , with characteristic and national . rashness and curiosity , approached too near , - and one of the officers , ' a fine handsome young fellow , received a mass of hot
calcareous matter on . the rig ht shoulder , which stripped the flesh to the bone as far as the elbow . There was no actual fracture , but the hcetuorrnage was so violent , and so long a time elapsed , hefore he received proper medical aid , that he lies with little hope of recovery . All' the' Galenic skill of the place is tending him . He is only two-and-twentyj and remarkably amiable and handsome , and quite the pet of the squadron and of the ladies . He holds . the position of Commodore ' s naval aide-de-camp , arid-is a lieutenant in rank . Only a few nig hts since we had seen him at a ball , the gayest of the gay , his fine manly form and features making hira almost ' the observed of all observers . ' But another accident ,
vritbin ten yards of the same spot , and almost at the same time terminated fatally , The- victim of his rashness was a Polish officer , who received a mass of stone of some tons weight , on the left thigh , which caused a compound fracture , and there he lay and bled to death , bis blood running down into the very crater itself , whereit bailed , and hissed , and steamed . A Neapolitan gentleman , who related the particulars to us , . nearly lost his life in his exertions to bring the body down the side of the moBnfain , for at the tima the lava and stones fell in au ' direciions thick
and fast . Another individual , a native , had the dexter side of his lower , jaw . completely removed by a stone , which was shot obliquely out of tbe crater while he was stretching over peering into its fiery depths . The catalogue of contusions , abrasions , and lesions on that eventful nig ht would nenrly fill one of your columns . The ladies were everywhere in the van of danger and fatigue , and some have not come off scot free . The sex baye a great deal more courage than we men are willing to give then ) credit for .- Tbis is proved here daily by the intrepidity small and delicate women show in their ascents ;
true , it is to gratify curiosity—a strong instinct on dit in . their nature . The whole of that magnificent and extensive wood , Bosco Reale , is now destroyed ; not a vestage remains ; and the fair crops of springing wheat , the pasture and arable land , where are they ? They no longer form a partof this earth ' s surface , The face of the country to within a short distance of Pompeii is c anged—the roadsj the landmarks , the means of communication from one point to another , are obliterated—all lies buried under a superstratum of from
twelve to fifty feet of lava . It is generally admitted that , in any other country the exertions and energy of the people would have saved nearly the whole of the timber , and much else that is now lost . Twenty men could have cut the trees in a line faster than . tbe lava approached , which mig ht then have been carted off by others , and relays of about the same number would thus have saved property worth several thousand pounds—a kind of property very valuable , too , here , where firewood is so dear . The lava has now nearl y reached the sea ,, and it is said covers a superficies of abci't fourteen miles .

UNITED STATES , CALIFORNIA , AND ; ; ¦; - , Canada . 1 ¦ ' /¦ ¦¦ ¦ < ; •;;¦ '¦ _ ¦ ( Frorathc 'New York Tribune ; ' of March 20 th . ) ^ Since our last issue , the United States Congress has been principally occupied with the discussion ol Slavery , and the kindred topics which have been the leading subjects of interest during the present session . Three important speeches have'been made in the Senate by Mr . Calhoiin , Mr . Webster , and Mr . Seward , presenting an elaborate ' and ' powerful statement of the widely-differing views maintained by those gentlemen respectively arid . , ; argui . ng , the whole question of Slavery ^ and the territories in the various aspects of which the complicated and exciting subject is susceptible . ¦
[ Here follows a summary ofMr . Calhoun ' s speech , which is already familier to our readers . Ed . a . 5 . ] . . ; : ¦ - .. - ¦ . ¦; .. ¦¦' .- , ; ¦ ; , ; . ' . : : ^ On Thursday , the 7 th ult , the floor and gallerjes of the Senate ; Cbamher were crowded with a vast assembly , drawn together by the announcement that Mr . Webster was to address tlie Seaateat that time . His speech , which was one of his most deliberate , H not most able performances , is far frbm . being satisfactory to the public sentiment of . the ' North ' , ' It was unworthy of his , distinguished fame , and fell short of the . demands of the occasion . Mr , Webster contended-that the insertion of the WilraQt Proviso , prohibiting the introduction of slaveryinlo the
Territories in any bill for ' their government , was nugatory and'useless . Texas had been admitted , with her slave institutions ; it had ' bee ^ provided that all new States formed Gut of Her territory , should be slave States ; but ' at the same time , slavery was excluded from . California and ' New Mexico by , the law of nature , which : had erected impassable barriers to its introduction within their , limits . He maintained that every p ortion of the territory ; in this country had a ^ fixed arid immutable character , which no legal arrangement could' modify . For this reason ., he Would no more apply ' tlie . ; principle . ' of the Wilhi ' ot Proviso to . the g overnment of Califprnia than he would to . that of Canada , in case she siiduld . seek for
admission to the Union ... In allusion . to the question of fugative slaves , Mr . ¦[ W . argued ! that the North had failed in her duty to the Constitution by refusing her aid in their capture and delivery . The South had cause to complain of this neglect . ' The duty was imposed , by tjie ConsHtu ' iion , ' . and' the North vyas bound to ' fulfil it . ; In like ' manner the public agitation of the subject at ' the ' North has been condiicted . in a manner not only tc > , vitiate the . vernacular of the country , but to produce , neediest : excitement and irritation . - Mr . W . concluded his speech with an impas 3 is > nedeulogium-ori the' value of the Union , and an earnest appeal to the ' patriotism and p hilanthropy , bf the Senate to abstain from eyerv measure lhat . shaU be . hosiile to its duration .
. Mr ., Seward , injOne ^ of the most , important and eloquent speeches which hays been made in the Senate during the present Session , adopted a different course of argumentfrom ; tfaat of ^ ei ther of . the two distinguished ^ Senators , whp . preceded , him , p . n the Slavery ci'Vestiun . He maintaihed the immediate admission ' of' Cailifbrriia ih'jo the Union , replying at'length to the various ' objections which have been urged against the measure . Amoug the reasons which-he advanced in , favour of the reception of California , he dwelt on ; the , importance of . unity , between . the different . portions ^ of tbe . country , now | extending from , the Atlanticto the Pacific , and composing a numerous population , speaking the same
language , ' having ihe same origin , and cherishing common sentiments arid principles . In view of Ihe position , the power , the capabilities' of America , among the nations of the worldj he regarded dis- ' union as inadvisable , presumptuous , and not , to be thoug ht of for a moment ... California jyas now a complRte State . She could . never become anything less—could never again be a province or colonycoul" never shrink iiitb the dimensions of a Federal dependent territory . If she was not received as one of the sister States of the Union , she would soon set up-for-herself . She had many motives for
independence . ; if she did not contemplate it , it was because she did not expect , rejection ; if she chose it , we had no power to prevent it . We could not reach her by rail or steam . She could defy our army arid navy . Nor would she go alone . Oregon , with the western declivity ot the Sierra Nevada , and the entire Pacific coaat would follow in her footsteps . Mr . S . was opposed to all compromise on the subject ; of . slavery . He would not-surrender any portion of human freedom for the gold and power of the western El Dorado ., He had perfect confidence in the perpetuity of the Union . " He could discover no omens ¦ of revolution . There would be
no revolution , but one that began , ! and : ended in Congress . He should , therefore , vote directly . for the admission of California , without conditioria , qualifications , aud without compromise .
