A new one-penny serial siory is being published in London, entitled "Crimes of the Aristocracy. " It professes to be " a series of strange events, undiscovered murders, and other crimes, compiled from important documents stolen from among the private papers of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, upon the night of the 14th of December, 1861, by a footman in her Majesty's service !" The two volcanoes, Etna and Vesuvius, have nearly always seemed entirely independent of each other, but the recent eruptions indicate that a unity of action has been established between them. The cooling of one seems to have been the signal for an eruption of the other. On the night of the 26th November, the last current of molten fluid descended from Vesuvius, and on the 27th a dazzling crest appeared on the Sicilian volcano. The famous Grand Duchess de Gerolstein Schneider received a bracelet valued at 15,000d015. from an English lord, during her visit to Baden-Baden. The donor's name and title were set in diamonds. "What a pity," exclaimed the actress, when she received it, " that he is not a Spanish nobleman— his name would have been so much- longer."
