NAPLES.
July 31. Latest accounts from Iscliia report that fully 5000 persons lost their lives a Cassamicaola and in the neighborhood. Efforts have been made to extricate the bodies of those who perished from the ruins andinter them, but the air is now poisoned with a pestilential effluvia, and all that can be done is to cover the corpses with quick lime and allow them to remain.
Vesuvius, which has shown signs of activity since the late earthquake at Iscliia, is new in eruption.
