One of the eccentric acta of Baron BeilliiJre, who le now confined in a luhatie aeylum, was engaged in a gatne of birique at the Jockey Club in Paris for eight and forty consecutive hour*. He, himself, never slept, and never left off playing, the whole time. He held his food m one hand, while the other retained the cards, His antagonists were provided in relays, and he ultimately rose from the table a loser to the extent of £B,OOO. A new volfcano has broken out In the Sierra Madre, Mexico, since the recent eartbduake, and is sending up vast colums ot flame, smoke and lava,, while the internal thunders of the burning jjjountftixi trc terrific. No one dares to approach within a league and a half ot it, on account of the fissures in the earth. Not a bird or a living cteatUre is to be seen within ten miles of the volcano: the town of Bavispe is a head of rums, and has been deserted by its inhabitants and earth treinors are of almost daily ocCurence in the surrounding district.
