As the boat dic not come off when expected, the second mate (Mr. Maiden) and four hi went on shore to ascertain the reason; he took the casks from the natives and brought them on board, but nothing particular appears to have occurred on this occasion. On the 23d, shortly after breakfast, while the second mate was below stowing the casks in the held, he heard # large num- ber cf natives on deck; he came up, and found at least one hundred aud fifty men from the north end of Hal Lland, apparently disposed to tak sion of the ship. The captain was also on deck; he (Mr. Maiden) took seve- ral clubs from the savages. He then went to the main harch to speak to the man left in the hold, when he received a severe blew on the head from a club, which knocked him down the hatchway. While in the act of falling, he saw two natives attacking Wiliam Sheen, cooper, who shipped at Sydney. The war whoop was then raised, and Maiden, rcovering from the effects of his blow, and not being injured by the fall, directed the man in the hold tomake for the cabin, there being a door through the bulkhead, with a view to getting arms. They could not find any ammunition for some time; at length ‘Emanuel Rammose discovered a keg of powder, and afterwards a parcel of shot. Having now loaded some murkets, they shot five natives from the cabin skylight, and Maiden, standing at the foot ofthe companion ladder, and ‘seeing the King’s son passing on the deck, run him through with a bayoret.

The assem- of sixty or seventy persons now augmented to four | or five hundred, and in good order they marched with the Frenchmen in front, to a bill overlooking the town, in close proximity to the cemetery. Here ropes were thrown fever a limb of a tree, and the ends were inconveniently teirled around the prisoners’ necks. In the meantime, few of the Freach residents rallied, aod made an at- femitto rescue the prisoners. A general figat ensued for several minutes, but the French gradually gave way, and the Americans were victorious. Another attempt was mace to hang the men, but with- out avail; at each twitch of the ropes they more s:reau- ously avowed their innocence.

Maiden afterwards shot another native. Ry this time many of the natives were driven overboard, and, having hoisted the jib and cut the cable, the vessel stood off from the land. After getting the vessel under weigh, Maiden found that the captain, the Ddeatewain, the cooper, and one of the seamen, were lying dead on the deck, their bodies being mutilated ina horrible manner, by wounds from the hatchets and clubs, The steward, also, was lyiag on deck, almost a He then stood N.E., to endeavor to fetch Tauroa, with the hope of finding the schooner Black Dog, and getting assistance to navigate the vessel.

It shall be the subject of my next letter to you. RANCHERO, Granapa, Nicaragua, Oct, 24, 1853. The Volcano of Massaya—The Gold and Coal Mines of Chontales. I wrote you on the 224, giving you what of interest presented iteelf at the moment. I then intimated, at the close of my letter, that I would, in my nest, give you some account of the volosno of Massaya, one of the fie- quently met with phenomena of this country, at present occupying the minds of the educated, while it bailles all their limited philosophical inquiries, and terrifies the ignorant throughout the densely populated neighborhood of our capital. Near Mastayz, a town some twelve miles from the Lake of Nicaragua, and twenty from Managua, inhabitants, is a voleano of considerable notoriety in the physical history of Central America, called Massaya, an Indian appellation, the resl meaning of which is lost. Its last eruption was a terrible one, unequalled even by the modern ones of the Old World, and oc- curred in the year 1772. Its effects may be seen on the road from “Nindiri the Beautifol””—Cand, one of the loveliest Indian villages the sun of heaven ever shone upon—to Managua. From the mouth of the crater to al- most the edge of the Lake of Nicaragua ix one immense field of lava rocks of every size, looking as though the lovely country around—for, lovely in itself, it becomes doubly £0 from contrast with the black boulders—had been the battle ground of the Titans, The entire aspest of this immense wante resembles greatly that of Vesuvius on the side near Pompeii, only that the massive rocks here exceed in size thore of the Itslian wonder. One Senor Ortege, whe ascended the mountain a few days since, thus speaks of it—he had reached the mouth of the crater:—‘We continued on around it, each engoureging the other, until we stood upon its very edge. All arow us were large fissures in the earth emitting a hot sulphu- rous smoke, insupportable to the hand, barely ao to our well sbod feet, and whieh are of safficieat warmth to cook an egg in ong minute. I can find no language sufficiently adeq sate in which to give an idea of the terrible roaring of tae mighty exuldron beveath us. I know nothing to which it can be:ter be compared than the wild shriek of the hurricane in mid ocean against some battlemeated castle, or the Atlantic’s roar in ite moments of wildest frenzy” The crater ix an oval of ninety yards length aud seventy width. The mountain is probably two thou- rand feet high: The interior walls retiect all the culors of the prism, being lined with the vitrious mingling of snlphwr, sand, ke. For miles from its mouth the grass id burned away, and all vegetation dead. Immediately be- low the voleano—as Portici, at Vesuvius—is the above named town, or village, of Nindiri, its feathery topped cocoa trees waving in unconsciousness of the prodable dapger awaiting them. Between this latter and Mas- says the town, is @ beautiful lake, immortalized by Ste- yhens, from which the inhabitants of the place draw all their water, Much danger ix apprehended that the ake will be compietely dried up, and the town conse quently deserced. The local’ relation of Massaya to the voleano, its namesake in preciscly that of Naples to Vesuvius, oply that the crater of this ix nearer the town than tha: of the former to Naples, owing to the greater pe: pendicularity of the sides of this volcano, Ve- suvius, it will ba remembered, having a peculiar gradual slope not seen in any other voleano in the world. In Mr. Or'egs’s communication, which is to the government, he insiets that a scientific investigation should be made of the volcano, in order that the 40,000 inhabitants of the vilages and towns around may have time to fly from the impending danger. A few dsys since a number of In- dians were startled by the falling of immense clouds of asbes, and fled in dismay.

DESCRIPTION OF HUAHINE—THE FRENCH FLEET AT j TAHITI. [From the San Francisco Advertiser, Oct. 15.] The rchooner Kmma Packer, Captain Latham, lately arrived from Huahine, one of the Society Islands, after a passage of thirty-seven days, brings us many interesting particulars of this distant but important group. She also bas a fine assortment of the luscious fruits common to that genial climate. Huahine is in loa. 161 deg. 8 mio. E., and lat 16 deg. 43 mio. 3., aud is consequently distant 3,764 miles from San Francisco, in @ southeast by south course. ‘The group, consitting of six islands, was discovered by Cook, in 1769, and has until lately been under the influ- ence of the Frgli-h mistionaries; but the policy of the French government to extend its foreign sions has Jed them to usurp and claim the principal f-land, (Tahiti,) where they are now forming a naval rendezvous. A dercription of one island would answer for any of the others, Huah'ne is about forty miles each way, and its coast is indented with numerous small harbors, receiving the waters of several small «treams—almost rivers. The principsl of these, and the mort secure for shipping, is that called Owherre Bay, where the Emma Packer received her cargo. The islanders, in namber rome 800, have several little settlements om the coast; but the princi- paleve is at the bay above mentioned. The interior abounés in beautiful valleys, exquisite spots of woodland, waving with all the luxuriant verdare of the tropics, and smiied upon by a perpetual summer. The gentle 3. W. trades preserve a delicious coolces#, aod in this, as in the Pols nesian islancs, there seems but to want the benefits of & constant communication with the civilized WOrld to make it a wost delightful residence. The hills and rising gcounds present the most enticing picture of rural beauty, their sides covered with a never dy ing expanse of rich green grass and bright leared trees | dhe numerous valleys boraering the tiny streams afford | excellent pasturing to the small stock of cows and horees which have been i rted from Australia, The island | produces, in the greatest Inxuriance, oranges, lem ns, character and easily crushed. Many Ar ezicana have al- ready gone there, and many others ‘await only the report of thore already there. Being, as it is, within » very few miles of Virgin Bay, the point where the emigrants take the short land route to California, it is highly probable that numbers will give up the golden vision of the latter and turn towards the richer lands of Chontales. Mr. Ferrar, who owns the greater part of this property, is one of the most liber#! minded men in Nicaragua, and emi- nently the well wisher and welcomer of foreigners. There in no point, from what I have heard of it. which more posgheg pur invites Americans to come and settle than the one I speak of.

They bave, uslike most Pacific Islanters, fine curling hair, with’ which they take particular pains, and are reedy witted, cleanly and handsomely formed fellows. Captain Latham says they are fair representatives of the whole population, The Hushioeans have their politisal squabbles as well | as the rest of the world, and though they do not acton xo | extended a #iage, they enter in o the spirit of the thing | With more than common animation.

Krxaston, Ja., Oct. 26.—The I ar has been in rea- sion since the 1th inst,, and preliminary steps have been taken for the introduction of the Import Duty and other revenue bills, But sa yet we are nov ina position to af- ford any reliable information on this subject; indeed, the bills have yet to be laid before the House, and the opinion of members ascertained on their political bearing. Ina week, however, at farthes® it ts anticipated that rome- thing definite will transpire in that regard. Busiaess matters, in the meantine, remain almost stationary. Some speculative feeling wat manifested towards flour and “brandy, but the inquiry for the latter has ceased in con- sequence of the circumstance noted below, whilst the ad- vanced pretensions of holders in the other instance have once more reduced the inquiry for flour to the ordinary limits. Prices for almost every article of imported go «ds have advanced, and in some instances searcity rates have been demanded. The market is new absolutely bare of pickled fish; and receipts are therefore anxieusly antici. ted. Produce generally ix quiet. There has been, owever, some inquiry for rum for home consumption, and holders are firm at{higher prices. The business transacted has been of only moderate importance. Sugar, on the other hand, has decline¢ in value, ex ly the finer qualities. Of coffee und pimento the receipts are atill on a limited scale, and we hear nothizg of ginger.

Brandy—Some moderate sales of Martell’s and Hennessy’s were effected at 139. per gallon, and un- der the speculative feeling alluded to in our last issue, a large amount of business might have been transacted; but a good deal of hesitation has resulted from tbe ap- prebended intention of the House of Assembly to appoint stagen, and may not ultimataly be agreed to, although the pro!
