The perpetrator had arrived on the night of the illumina• than, when the Queen reached Dublin, and had re sided in the house for a litrtnight, spending money lavishly, but drinking incessantly, and occasionally appearing on the print of departure, though he never really left the house for m o re than a few minutes. By the inmates it was believed from his demeanour that he was ° hiding," either on account of debt or crime. tHa Sunday morning he called up one of the female habitat* of the house, to whom he had shown throughout some attachment and tnade very expen sive presents, and, while she was asemding the stairs, shot her with a pistol. A few minutes after wards he shut bimetal, and died almost instanta neously. The woman survives, and is expected to recover. More than Dm/. was found among his pro perty when the police came in to investigate the affair. The unhappy man had passed by the name of Webster, but told nothing that was credible re specting his family or station. Ills hotly was buried on Wednesday, and im inquest commenced respecting the suicide, but adjourned in hope of further evidence. By some communications since received in Dublin from the London police, it is believed that the de ceased was formerly cler k in a London assurance office, whence he absconded with a considerable sum of money as long since as last July, and for whom the detectives have been vainly searching. The marriage of Count Olivier do Larorhefou (quilt with Mists Alontgomery, (laughter of a New York merchant, was celebrated on Tuesday last at the Church of Ste.

TIM Ii.i.unINATIONs of the New York Crystal Palace and night promenades, recently organised, are stated to have proved eminently successful. Some thousand visitr►rs attended these promenades, gnd the attraction appeared nightly to increase. The airectors have resolved on issuing adinission tickets, deed for a week, at one dollar each. (PENINO OF AN 'antiNtit: FACTORY was celebrated on Tuesday at Saltaire, near Bradford, by a banquet, of which 3,200 guests partook. The pn►prietors are the Messrs. Salt, and the building will be devoted to manufacturing alpaca fabrics. Of the guests 2,5011 were operatives to be employed in the new mill. Sahalm k about four miles from Bradford, and forms one of the most remarkable ob jects on that part of the Midland Railway. The area appropriated to the buildings is computed at six acres, while the several floors in the mills, ware houses, and sheds, form a superficies of 55,000 yards, or 11 S acres. The mill is :154) feet in l e agth, and 71 feet in height. It includes six stories, and is eonstruct►al of massive stonework in the bolde4 style of Italian architecture. The walls look more like those of a fortified town than of a building destined to the peaceful pursuits of commerce. The floors art' formed on arches of hollow brick, the openings in the bricks being used for the pur poses of ventilation. Rows of ornamental east-iron columns and 'missive cast-iron beams ►support the arches. The roof is of iron. The windows, of large size, are entirely tilled with immense square►► of cast plate glass. The whole of the building is fireproof. From the centre of the mill, a distance of 330 feet, are the warehouses. In the angle formed by the mill and warehouses to the ea►stwari, com prising an area of M,400 yards, are the weft-room anti weaving-shed, communicating with the several floors in the mill and warehouses by fireproof hoists. The weaving -shed will hold 1,200 looms; the length of shafting in the works will be 110170 feet, or nearly two mike; the steam-engines are equal to 1,200- horse power: and the 1,300 looms will be capable of producing :10,090 yards of alpaca cloth per diem, or nearly IM miles each day, and a total length of S,OMM miles of cloth per annum. When the works are wholly finished. 4,f111 hands will be required to kern theln going. This will involve an addition to the populae of Saltaire of fr►m 9,000 to 10,000 persons. To wcomm.slate these, Mr. Salt proposes to erect forthwith 'WO dwelling-houses of various classes, replete with eve►;y convenienee requisite for the health, comfort, and well-being of the in habitants. A ldxsueaceuaza at Tureoing received a few dap. ago a letter from a person at Nottingham informing him that he bad found among some newspapers sent from France a letter addressed to him containing two bills of exchange, one for 1,01Y1f., the other for 4.00 f., which letter had been opened in his absence by his children. The Nottingham man said that he would return them on receiving an assurance from the manufacturer that they were really his. The letter must. of course, have got amongst the news papers by mistake. SATURDAY, THE HUNOARIAN CROWN JEWELS.-HOW THEY WERE RECOVERED. THE recovery of the above regal insignia may be well called an event, as the Emperors of Austria, always beginning their coronations with that at I luala-Pest, could nut have begun this cycle of affairs as long as the crown and crown jewels of Hungary were wanting. Various reports were in circulation as to their loss, which, at one time, was considered irreparable. It is said that only three persons, amongst whom is M. de 4—, late Minister of the Magyar republic, knew where they were secreted ; and there is cogent reason extant that, after all, they have not been recovered iu their integrity. The his tory of this late recovery is one of the most interest ing samples of a fact discovered and arrived at by mere inductions, some based on physical premises. fhe informations, obtained by dint of great skill by M. de Kargor, majoreuditeur in the Austrian army, made it appear at find that M. Kossuth had con veyed the Hungarian' crown insignia originally to New Orssowa; but, seeing that he could not conceal them there, he went to the Hercules baths of Meha• (ha; and, finding there tallness opportunity for con cealment, he again returned to Old Orssowa, and, after having them kept there a short time, had them conveyed by trusty persons in the night over the Czerua, towards the Wallachian frontiers. it had been ascertained also that his followers had bought, on the Sallie day, instruments for digging at Old Orssowa, and hail proceeded in the night towards the Czer na. The winter, which set in with great severity on the Northern Danube, covering the whole country with snow several feet deep, did not permit of any im mediate research in the vicinity of Old Orssowa, and when, in the month of April, MO, the snow had melted, all the traces of any digging had vanished, while, at the same time, the Republican party, to whom these researches had not remained unknown, did not fail to mislead the Austrian Government by false reports. So things slumbered three years, until, in the spring last past, M. de larger received orders to reassume all the threads of the former in - fonuation, and to seek after the lost crown. M. larger started from various premises, which, by the final result, prove to have been mostly correct. He conjectured that the persons hiding the crown and insignia had certainly selected a place which, even after the laps.. of years, would be recognised by them or their emissaries and messengers. He further thought that, as the Magyar fugitives had taken the road over the Czerna, it was not very likely that beyond this the jewels could have been secrete'''. Having acquired a thorough knowlege of this locality in former years, M. de harger strained every nerve to ranssck the country in all weather and in all hours of day and night, leaving no stone nor rock, no tree nor bramble unsearehed and unexamined. After having thus gone to and fro a hundred times over the same ground, a theory arose in his head that it was only fissures of the soil and trees or shrubs that the Magyars could have selected as a hiding-place for their crown. The difficulty of effecting any efficient hole or ditch in the deep alluvium of the Allion in a short time was the main support of this hypothesis. After having repeatedly examined all tufts of trees in the neighbourhood he found that in a sequestered place of the Allion-Au there was an oasis of trees exhibiting strange decortications, arrangement of branches, A.T. The fact, in tine, that many of the branches were lying astray around a certain locality proved that they had not been broken by peasant people for fuel. The accidental finding of an elegant watch-key, and the handle of a pickaxe, showed to M. de Komar that a person of the higher ranks of society had been there for some particular work. The softness of the ground, the loneliness of the place, as well as its easy access from the I►anube, and the opposite Turko-Serbian shore, corroborated the major's belief, and alt bough he had strict orders not to excavate the ground but after the most certain indications had been obtained, he at once proceeded to that operation on the 6th September instant. After the locality hail been accurately surveyed and mapped. and a sort of uej,work laid down to enclose and bisect the whole oasis of trees, having an area of twenty square fathoms, by seven parallel ditches. and to prolong them to the length of the Au, it was on the mill of September, at 5.25 a.m., that the hoe of a workman struck some metallic substance, being that of an iron well-secured chest, which, on being fern bly broken open, was found to contain the losterewn of the Magyar kings.
