Volcanic Eruptions.
There have been further eruptions of La Soufriere, in the island of St. Vincent. A black cloud covers the entire island. Three inches of sand and pebbles fell at Georgetown and Chateau Belair stones ejected from the volcano broke windows in Georgetown. Volcanic dust in the Island of Barbadoes caused intense darkness for three hours. The French barque Bmpereur Menelik, from San Francisco, reports that when thirty miles west of the Tongan group on 18tb inst, she ran through a quantity of pumice stone, which covered the ocean for a distance of five miles.
