!mauls": Exctimistrr has been produced in
Dublin by a suicide and attempt at murder com-
mitted in a house of ill-fame, but of somewhat aristo-
cratic pretensions, situate in French-street. 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 more 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 clerk 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.

(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 leagth,
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.
