Burning of The Meo York Crvstol Palace.

New York, Oct. 5.-The New York Crys.
tai Palace was entirely destroyed by fire this
afternoon, with all its contents. The fire
broke out in the lumber room, and is beIiey
ed to have been the work of an incendiary.
The flames spread with astonishing rapid
ity, creating an intense excitement among
the visitors, of whom some two thousand
were present. II is feared that many have
been killed. One dead body has already
been taken out. The heat was intense. and
the firemen were of no avail. The whole
building was valued at $3.50, 900, and the
contents at double this sum.
AT the time Of the fire the Fair of The
American Institute was in progress in the
Palace.
Amongst the articles burnt were 40 Pr
amos valued at 100000. Sewing Machines
to the value Of $4,000. Statuary s25 600.
Jewelry $4,000. Pictures $4,000. . Fire
engines, hose, one Ladder truck, G steam
engines, 3 steam calIiopes, &c. The record
showed entries for 900 articles. The actu-
al loss was not known. A small portion
only OF the property was insured
New York, Oct. 6.-The Iron tower at
the angles and small portion of the side
walls ofthe Palace only are left standing. Ey-
cry thing else is mass Of ruins. The glass
y fused into large masses. The report that

GENUINE GoLD.-There is probably no ar.

frequently gulled, as gold. Not one in ten
knows anything Of it beyond its glitter, yet
all that glitters is by no means gold. In
deed, most jewelry passing current for gold
is NOTHING but pinchbeck trash, and hence
IN the purchase Of ring, watch, or any
thing Of the kind, careful purchaser will
invariably deal with man Of his word, as
a connoisseur in such matters.

yet been obtained, but they will soon be ar
rived at. Meanwhile there is no impression
that i is the great comet of 1856, although
that is looked for. 1t has been ascertained.

Commodore Tatnall, in dispatches to the
Secretary of the Navy, dated July 5th, after
saying that the entire East India squadron
would soon be shown to the Japanese, re-
marks that no better opportunity could be
selected for temporary absence from the
coast Of China. The recent treaties and
termination of hostiities, together with the
swarms Of English and French ships Of war

the present. He would return with the

THE WAR IN INDIA.--Although It may Be
premature to state. as some sanguine Eng
lish journals do, that the war in India is al
most most at an end, and that the gallant, Lord
Clyde will soon be able " to return his sword
70 his scabbard never to draw it again.. the
English troops, despite the rains, the IN
healthy season, and the difficulty of locomo-
tlon Tor an army, are steadily maintaining
their superiority, and defeating the rebels
wherever they meet them.
Late accounts announce fresh successes Of
an important character in Dude. These con-
tlnued successes on the part Of the British
cannot fail to produce wholesome moral
effect upon the native population.

INVESTMENTS BY RoYALrY IN THE UNITED

from the N. Y. Herald, stating that the
Queen of Spain has agents here, who have
command of two millions Of dollars, to be
invested in this country. The same paper
states that most of the crowned heads of
Europe are doing an active business in the
way Of investments in tile United States.
Louis Philippe had large possessions in our
Republic, and Louis Napoleon has sent from
three to five millions here to be invested by
his agents. Il is said that the greatest ope.
rators in this way are the petty princes Of
Germany, whose investments in American
securities amount. it is believed, to fully
fifty millions Of dollars. The powers and
