(AuaiKAMJUr • ircw raiiANs cam imocutiok.) LONDON, 2nd August. The Daily Mail'e correspondent at Berlin reports that the Sandling Mountain, in the Salzkammergut region in Upper Austria, is again becoming dangerous. Daily, gigantic avalanches of rock slide from the summit, undermining the peak. The pressure of masses of rock is forcing out rock, earth, and day from the interior of the mountain, ana this solid matter, driven like a river dowo the valleys, is sweeping a path of destruction. "It already has advanced three miles, engulfing a, forest in its path.
(The Salzkammergut ("salt domain") is one of,the most beautiful regions of the Austrian Alps, and comprises the whole of the lake region of the Traun basin. It is in the south-west of the crownland of Upper Austria.]
