DESCRIPTION OF THE CKYSTAI. -7v.i.:. PALACE.'-. ; 4 -' "" From the official publicaliona ' of the Aeao eiaiion we compile a description of the Crys nil Palace. Reservoir square, on which it is erected, lies at the northern extremity of th oily, west of the Croton distributing reservoir and between that vast erection and Sixth av ewe. The Sixth nvenne - railroad runs di rectly past it, the Fourth avenue railroad runs near it ; and it lies immediately in the vicinilv ol ihe Fourth,. Fifth, and Sixth avenues ths! main thoroughfares of dial part of Ihe city. The main features pf the building are follows: ' It is, with thr exception f tlie floor, entirely constructed 'nf iron snd glass., I tie general idea of the edifice is a Greek cross, surmounted by a dome at the intersec tion.,' tacit diameter of tlie cross will be 365 feet 5 inches long. . There are three sim ilar entrances ; on on the Sixth avenue, one on Fortieth, and one on Forty -Second street. Each entrance is 47 feel wide, and tint on the Sixth avenue is approached by a flight of eight steps j over each front is a iiire semi-circular fan light, 41 tent wide and 2 feet high, . answering to the arch of the nave. " f.ch arm of the cross is on the ground plsn 149 fret broad. . Thia ia divided into a central. nae Mid two aisles, one on each aide theave,41 ftet wide, each stale 64 feet The central portion or nave is carried un to the height of 67 feet, and the semi-circular srch by which it is spanned i 41 feel broad. 1 here are thus in effect two arched naves crossing each other at right angles, 41 feel broid, 67 feel high to the crown, of the areh; and SOS Icel long ; and on earh side of these naves is an aisle 54 feet broad, and 45 feef high. The exterior of the ridgewsy -of the nave ia 71 feet, , Each aisle is covered , by a gallery of it own width, and 2f feel from the floor. The central dome is 100 feet in diam eter, 08 feet inside from .Ihe crown j and on the outside, with the lantern, 149 feet,"- The exterior anglee of the building are ingenious ly nueu up wiin a triangular lean-to 24 feel high,- which give the ground plan an oclnro- nal shape, each side or face being 149 feef wiiie. i ai eacn angle is an octagonal tower feet in maweier, ana 7 leet high. . ? . 1 en large, and eight winding stsfr-eases ennneci ins principal noor willt the gallery, wnicn opens on ine tnree balcumes that sre situated over the entrance .halls, and afford ample space for flower decorations, statues, vases, die.'

There are on tlie ground floor 190 bctairo- nal cast iron columns, 21 feet above the floor, and 8 inches in diameter, cast hollow, of dif- lerent. thicknesses, from half an inch to one inch, 'These columns receive the cast iron girders. " T heae are 20 J feel long and 3 feet high, anil serve to sustain Ihe galleries and the wrougnt iron construction of the roof, as well as to brace the whole structure in every di rection, l lie number of lower floor girders is 282, besides 13 wrought iron girders of the same height, and 41 feet span, over a pan of the nave, ' ' ' - The' second story contains J48 columns. ol ths same shape as those below,, and 17 leet 7 inches high.

The light is communicated to the dome through Ihe liiniern, ss well as from ihe sides, on which 33 escutcheons, in . col ored glass, representing the srms of the Un ion and it several Stales, eft (he emblems of ihs different nations, form a part of the deco ration. - '-,', ... , The building is supplierl with gs and wa ter in every part. The gas is" designed for ui use ol tlie police, in protecting the prop erty by night, but is so srrsnged that, should it be deemed capedierti to open the building in lb evening there will be emple light. The water is accessible at numerous points, with convenience for drinking, alto lor the attach-' ment of hose, in case of fire. i, i The general mode of erection by base piec es, columns, Bonneetitig pieces ana girders, is the same with, that of the. great tIfyde Pork building, but 'the construction of the. arched nave ami of Ihe dome -is of course entirely peculiar, and Ihe general effect, of ihe build ing i completely dillereul., v v W)i WASHINGTON anb THE CORPORAL.

REM AKKABI.E ESCAPE. . s A Glarow paper gives the follow-in; ac count of an escape from a prison in thai env, which rivals any of the exploits attributed m Jack Shrppard, and even the famous prison.' breaking feat of Baron Trtrlck : Between 11 and 13 o'clock on the nflit of the 28th ult young Irish lad, nanietj Francis Casey, was brought to Ihe police of fice of Glasgow, charged with having attempt-, ed to pass counterfeit shilluis. He was' confined in one ot Ihe cells on ihe thud flour of the building. These cells have hitherto' been considered to puseew every clement of se. etirily which th mind of marl eoutridevtke, The door ie so strong that it esuld only ha (breed ia by a eann'on shot, hut even Ihniiglt' it were left open by sny chance or negligence on the part of the turnkey, the prrsnnrr would not find himself much nearer hi! liberty, for he would require to pus several oilier doors,' carefully Watched by officer, befo-e he could reach the Street. Lscape in this direction Was" therefore out yf the .question. As there iaT neither lire place nor chimney in tlie sell, the only other opening in the thick wall is that furnished by a small slip tit loop-hole en closed with substantial atone forming an open. ing oi anoui lourieeu incnes liigli, by about four in width, a But bv make matter more ' cure; there is nailed or se'rrtjser this opening, on the inside, a strong iron tide, mora' titan thirty pounds in weight, perforated with small holes. Tfl such an-spartmenl was Casey transferred,-a Ihde after 13 o'clock, on the morning ol tba 8Uih or May. ' . - About 2 o'clock uri the Same morning; whilrf the lieutenant on duty waa engaged in his ordinary business, hs wsl alrsoat aiupified, with amasetnent by observing the itleniical Caaey brought into offics by lo wmehmsn. The cen was lorthWilH exainiEfed. ' I he large iron plate had been wrenched off by an act of almost superhuman strength. This effect eA there remained a slip or ojicnitrg through which it Would be difficult to pats' sn mfaui; but Caaey; using Ihe iron plate aa a battering ram, knocked oil' ihe siono ribbets or facings of the loop-hole, until he had uiade an open ing nine and nan inches in wiilih. Accord ing in his own account, hs ibrr, squeezed tits' headaiid shoulders Wiih great dillieully through! the opening, and by the grey dawn of tlie morning looked down upon the lane which bounda the western side of the police build. ing from the height of three lofty stories. The lad's own account of his further proce- -dure la rather confused and this is not surprts-' -ing, for ii is now ascertained tint his mind hasf been in a somewhat disorded state fur some -time past, and the probability is that Ire threw a ' summersault and lighted upnn the street be low. In whatever way he escaped, it is Iho " wonder of all that he reached the paveme' without being dashed to pieces: '1 he next InMMnM, " i " "T "I lllln-i ' more struct, where, according to Die statement of the wMchrrraii, he Waa observed tinting about like an apparition m a t)alf-nuked eon- , dilion.

Here they follow ed snd found hint st.irnfii'j about twelve or fourteen step up, but just when they were about to lay bamrs on him, Ire gave a bound and then a spring right over their heads, by ' which he gained the door, and boltel down1 1 the street like a greyhound.
