A SUBMARINE VOLCANO,

Captain M'Kenzie, of the schooner Kenilworth, gives us an interesting account of an extraordinary phenomenon witnessed by all on board that schooner on the 30th April, while the vessel was midway between the islands of Tonga and Haabai, two of the Friendly group. Early in the morning a fountain of water was seen rising from the sea, accompanied by clouds of steam, which effectually prevented it being taken for thespouting of a whale. As the schooner approached nearer its volume was found very large. The stream of water was projected into the air to a height of over a hundred feet, and fell over in graceful curves. From the quantity of steam which was evoked it seemed nearly certain that the projected water was boiling. The spot is marked on the chart as a shoal, although it is full twelve miles from land. In consequence of this Captain M'Kenzie was deterred from approaching close to this singular phenomenon. It continued with very little variation, at the same height, all the time it was in sight, _ Mariners have noticed that the small islands in this neighborhood are continually altering in elevation. They are no doubt subjected to strong volcanic agency, and the strange spectacle observed by Capt. M'Kenzie was probably one of the few instances on record of 3 the visible working of a submarine volcano.—' Auckland Star. ’
