Tu spite of the activity displayed by the Resident of Bantam in clearing away the corpaos and burn- ing the remains, it has not been posible to intar ail the corpses frum want of labour. It would require steam machinery to remove the large mnares of rooks and boulders under which oorpses may, probably yet be found. The walls of the fort at Amjer whirl wers of thickness have been shattered as if mats of pores laio, plece bajur found miles away from the site. To give an idea of the toros exerted by the water, the great waringin tres which Anjer once possessed may sartea sa.. instance.

RECENT VOLCANIC DISTURBANCES.
We are indebted to Hr. T. R. Grova, who has just rotarved from a prolonged journey in northern Alia, for some highly intarasting in- formation respecting, voloaufe disturbances in that region. The particulars given, taken in connection with the recent voloanio eruptions in Java, seem to indicate that the active agendy extended over an impere arða.
The disturbanos of Mount Krakatoa baga marly lú August Inst, sabnicating on the 26th, At the beginning of July, a vous, from sight lo ten thousand foot high by estimation, not mark ed on the chart, bat situato noar the Kamahačka river, supposed to be famative if not entirely ertinet, uddenly split in two, emitting Im menee quantities of leva which poured"downl It slopes. This phenomenon was not, how. atar, accompanied by any very great loon! disturbance. Mount Bireluch (of Keith
Johaston's map) the highest peak of the Kamchatkan range, 17,000 feet high, was in motive eruption throughout the whole month of Judy, the pillar of flame in clam mendhar being diainotly visiblo at distanons of from 200 to 250 miles, giving, after, allowance for refraction, AT altitude above the summit of the cone of 8,000 to 10,000 fent. When the air was still anoke, risau, &o.. rose vertically to an alvation of 15,000 feet, when, meeting with a portherly air Darrent, it abruptly took, at right angles, a son- therly direction in a thin direct line..
Captain Hubbard, of the M,B.3.S. Toyashima- maru, recently described an eraption which took plaon at Shibetoru, bue of the Karifes, in the early part of June last. A copy of his letter addremand te Professor John Milas was, by thoi kindoas of the latter, published in the Japan Gazette of Jane 30th.
Mr. Gran farther states that in April last the ice in the neighbourhood of the Kurilea was discoloured with volcanic ashes for miles in every division, intlostire of eruptions of anmana? violence, probably in 'the noriú, but of which we have no data. Mr. Great W soabled to make some very loteresting observo. tions on aloud formation in the vicinity of the Orosowlaki poak. He describes this as perhaps the most parfoot come in the world because it Espera to a five point, and is of grester`alova- tion than Fajiyama At 4 p.m. to. anarize it would show parfectly clear and distinct from the ses like au näplaod pooked-list; As the anu rope the snow would soltan, evaporation no doubt begin, and miste would slowly gather around the sommit giving the mountain the appearance of a gigantin placed field-marshal's oooked-hat.
