peless, but renewed by friendly intervention Finally, tkey were broken of altogether, and the causes already stated were assigned as the reasons of the failure. But persons who are familiar with the facts, attribute the rupture to another and very different motive. At one of the last interviews between Don Fernando and the Spanish Minister, at which ihe Coun- tess d Edla was present His Majesty inquir- ed what would be the eventual position of his wife should he go to Spain After putting this question he withdrew, leaving Madame and the Minister 10 settle tue delicate point between them. The Minister stated that she was at liberty to name any little, distiction, or donation, adding that she would always be the first lady of the palace, to which the Countess replied "So far so good; but His Majesty desires my position to be as clear as possible What l wish to know is, what will be my part on great ceremonials like the opening of the Cortes or other corresponding occasions ?" The aim of this inquiry was evident, and the Minister was not taken oy surprise. He re- joined that she might be made Duchess, or grandee, or haveany other title, but as 'Qaeen, never, neverH
 This took place on the 18th of July and when the conference were going on, there was perfect understanding that the refusal of of Don Fernando to take the throne would in- vove the most grave complications, and pro- bably the war which IS still raging; for 1t was then known that the Spanish Government intended to turn to His Majesty's son-in-aw, the Prince of Hoheuzollern, if the negotiations completely failed. As soon as 1t became cei- tain that there was no probability of induc- ing Don Fernando 10 go to Madrid, unless the Countess dEdla was recognized as Queen, the offer was made to Hohenzollern. So it may be said that great European was, with all it's vast consequences, is to be at;rbut- ed to the unsatisfed ambition of Boston glrl.

Oonuicted Of Posto6ice Robbery.-Col
yohn Frey Works up The Case.-In the o. s.
Court at Wheeling, was tried case, on Satur.
day last, in which the sagacity and efficiency
of Col. Frey was displayed in an eminent de.
gree. The following is resume of it:
On the I'd OF November, 1869, two drafts for
$500 each were mailed at Litz, Pa, BY a bank
ing house in that place, drawn on Messrs. De
Haven Bros, of Philadelphia, in favor OF
Samuel E. Keller, of Capon Iron Works, and
addressed to him. On the 9Th of the same
month Messrs. De Haven & Bros. received the
drafts through the mail endorsed with Mr.. Kel-
ler's name, and accompanied by a letter pur-
and signed s. E. Keller, in which was re-
quest that two $500 bills be sent in return in
registered letter. The next day Messrs. De III.
d Bro. complied with the request and the
package was traced regularly through the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Cumberland post
offices to Romney, via New Creek. On the
morning of November 13 it was forwarded TO
Capon Bridge. Upon its arrival there the
postmaster discovered that both the registered
package envelope and that of the letter bore
marks of having been tampered with, and its
being returned to Messrs. De Haven & Bros.
on the 24th, they found the money gone. The
fact was at once communicated to the Postoffice
Department, and special agent sent out to
detect the thief, who failed to discover him,
Thus the matter stood until the Goth of last
July, when the Postmaster General directed
the papers to be put in the hands of Col. John
Frey, special agent at large of the Depart
ment. Col. F., after about three weeks in
cessant labor in maturing his plans and watch
ing their results, arrested Mr.. Marshall, who
was at the time of the alleged robbery, assist
ant postmaster at Romney. Mr.. M. was brought
before Commissioner Forbes, in Wheeling, and
after an examination, was held to bail for his
appearance. This he gave, and returned to
his home in Hampshire. At the next term of
the court the case was called, but continued at
the instance of the government. The past
week it was again called, and the parties being
ready to proceed with the trial, the investiga !,
tion of the matter was commenced resulting
in verdict of guilty last Saturday.

Omaha, April 18 "A few nights ago
Daniel E. Hadden was found dead at a
house of prostitution in this place, from the
effect of pistol shot through his heart.
From the evidence before the coroner's
jury it appears that he had committed sui
eide, aud such was the verdict; but last
night an inmate of the house, named Flora
Clinton, called and acknowledged she had
shot Hadden, and claims that she did it at
his own request. She has attempted sui
eide since, and failed. 1t is believed she
has unjustly charged herself with the
crimo, that she may die by law.
