--Wc learn from the late London put
rcrs, that the contracr between the Gov
crniDcni Commissioner and tie consiruc-
,ors OF the cdiiice for The grea, Fair Of
lS5l, provides that it shall be compe,-
cl in three months from the time Of iis
commencement. A large portion Of the
frame work is already up. The entire
nrca q bc enclosed and rooted in, is
arly thirty acres n larger space than
has been occupied by any covered bull
ding erertcd in modern times. But the
peculiar novelty Of this vast structure Is
the materials Of which il ia composed.
Nothing save iron and glass, are TO be
employed in lis construction, and il is
estimated that Of the latter article 900,-
900 superficial feet will be required
The window tax, which would amount
10 n tremendous sum if assessed OH this
immense surface Of glass, is to be waiv-
ed by the Government. The main bull
ding will be nearly half mile in length,
and sixty-six feet high, and the aggre-
gate lc' 9Th Of the tables in this grand
IN oon will be about eight miles.
In addition TO the space thus set apart
to the general purposes ofthe exhibition,
there will be n building three hundred
and fifty yards in length for the recep'
ton Of machinery. Another feature Of
the building will be the Refreshment
Courts, which, in accordance with the
aristocratic spirit of the counwy, are to
be divided into three classes. Those
whose means and tastes incline them to
patronise the first will discuss the deli
cacies of the season under the branches
of the trees which occupy the north end
ofIhe transept; those whose habits Of
life are less ambitious or whose palatcs
are less discriminating, must move west
ward while for the crowd Of humble
visitors the requisite accommodation
will be provided on the north east side
Of the building.
Fifteen hundred men are now employ
ed in the work ofs crection-merely of
erection for the materials are all brought
to the ground in finished state, ready
to be placed in the positions assigned to
them and designated by letters and num-
bers.
The principal building will rest on
thiriy-three hundred cast iron columns,
and the rapidiiy with which the work
progresses may be estimated from the
fact that two columns can be fixed with
in twelve minutes.
1t may be safely said that the com
pleted structure. with its countless ar
ray of Inventions, manufactures, &c.
and Ito vast audiences, drawn from all
the nations of the earth, will be the most
interesting spectacle Of its kind that the
eye Of man has ever looked upon.

MURDER OF A Father AND WoUNDlNG
OF TWO SoNs.-This morning the Third
Ward was thrown into an excitement
by an assault Of most atrocious charac-
ter, committed by Swiss named Henry
Cornell, OH the persons OF Mr.. Charles
Rousseu and his two sons, Lewis and
Charles, who kept porter house at No.
81 Dey street, few doors above Green
wich street. Cornell called yesterday at
Mr.. Rousseu's, and said he was in dis.
tress. Mr.. Rousscu invited him to stay
there, gave him dinner, and at night
lodged him in the room with his two
SONS.
This morning about half past 3 o'clock,
Corhel got up and plunged large dirk
knife into the neck and side Of Charles
and then attacked the other brother,
Lewis, inilcting Il irightlul woond in the
abdomen. which let out the intestnes.
The shrieks of the young men brought
the father to the room, when the assas
sin Immediately seized him aud cut his
throat. Corncl then ran to the rear Of
the house and jumped out of the win
dow, hut falling into the area was un-
able TO cxtricate himself, and was there
found by two officers of the Third Ward,
McCollck and Mead, who took him to
the station house.
In the mean time two Of the victims,
Mr.. Rousseu and his son Charles, got
into the street, clasped into each others
arms, and IA crowd assembled, together
with the police Of the Third Ward who
carried them back to the house, where
the father died in quarter Of an hour.
The son Lewis is given over by the sur
geons, and the fate Of the other is very
doubtful. The object of the deed Of
slaughter was to obtain possession Of
1925 in specie and some other valn-
ables, which the murderer knew were in
