VOLCANIC ERUPTIoN IN ICELAND .-Ad-
vices from Iceland give an account of an
eruption, after thirty-nine years repose,
of the volcano called the Rotlugia of the
Myrdalsjokel mountains. On the 7th
of May several shocks Of earthquake were
experienced in the parish of Myrdal, in
which the volcano is situated, and the day
after an enormous volume of water was
cast up from :he Greater. Mixed with the
water were large quantities of cind0rs,
and the eruption was accompanied by a
subterranean noise. On the llth and
12th smoke, cinders, and balls of fire
were thrown up. The smoke rose to such
height that it could be seen at Re:kja.
wing, though mountains-fve thousand feet
high rise between the two places. The
eruption continued, with intervals more
or less long, to the 26th, but fortunately
it did no harm to places in the vicinity,
the cinders and other things it threw up
being carried by the wind partly to sea
and partly OF to some glaciers. II pre-
sented very imposing spectacle.

our rights but the Uaion itself. 1t isidle

Observer that Judqs Douglas, who ,OdS just.

the nomination IN a full Convention, and it
was equally certain that Mr.. Breckenridge
would have been the nominee, il the
Southern delegations had not abandoned
their poats. II Mr., Breckenridge had
been their nominee at Charleston his
election would have been certainty. He
is now the nominea Of one wing of the
party, the other wing having nominated
Douglas--and while shall give to 3rsck-

velvet, ending in tabs trimmed with deep blonde
and casped with gold pin and chain, which formed
rlch, graceful over-cape. magnificent crimson

half hidden in n floating mist of marabout, formed
the outside trimming. Inside white tea rose,
whose crimson velvet leaves strayed over a white
velvet bandeau, which hung in careless grace

White velvet bow filled up the space the other

The INCREASE OF CRIME IN New Yoak-hs Cause

The INCREASE OF CRIME IN New YoRK-hs Cause.
Judge lngraham, of the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner, OF New York, in giving his charge to the
Grand Jury on Monday, remarked on the late fear
iu increase of crime in that city. He said that it
was impossible for him to state the which led
to that increase, but it was fact that within a
crime than there ever had been in the same period
before the last legislature had altered the law for
the punishment of criminals convicted of capital of
fences.
This law is defective and does not define the du-
ties of the judges but gives the Governor the pow
er of naming the day for execution. That law has
already involved the administration of criminal
justice to such degree that in various parts of the
State there are now prisoners under conviction for
murder left unsentenced, because the judges do not
know what sentence to pass upon them under the law
The Judge held in his hand paper containing
list of thirty murders in the city since the first of
May last. He did not deem it proper to say that
this increase of crime was owing to the law above
referred to.
