To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden •mysteries "of Life within Life,' and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of these •omplaints, with numerous engravings and cases. -.... BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Uonorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of • .Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c. &c. l ho essenti a l o bj ect of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitles'. It la absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with , ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of thcortsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a care.

The assignees much regret that all their efforts have been hitherto unsuccess ful in persuading the shareholders to subscribe the amount necessary for completing the compro mise suggested by themselves and by their authori , ed agents, and that they have not appreciated the exertions of the assignees, nor met them in the liberal spirit which the sacrifice of their time entitled the assignees to claim :It the hands of the shareholders. Many of the share. holders hate taken every advantage both of time and of legal delay to interpose obstacles to the completion and , carrying out of the proposition which emanated from the committee appointed by themselves. "The proposal to pay to all the creditors a composi. tion of 6d. in the pound, in addition to the dividend to be realised from the estate, was deemed by the assig nees and the committee of shareholders a fair and reason able proposition. The assignees, as members of the committee of depositors, relied upon the good faith of the shareholders, and the pledge given by their commit tee,and it was upon that assurance that the arrangement would be completed, and that the 12,000/. deposited towards the agree l guarantee of 20,0001., would, within a reasonable period, be increased by the contributions of the shareholders to the sum required for the completion of the arrangement, that t'se assignees used all their in finer es to stop and avert cts_tly.. and ruinous litigation, which moat have terminattlaie utterruin of every shareholder in the bank. _ _ ":Many months have, however, elapsed, and no a-ddi tien has been made to the fund, nor has any movement be-in made by the shareholders either to discharge the debts of the bank or to complete the compromise. The assignees indeed know that acting upon an unfair and di,honourable policy several of the shareholders have applied their funds, which should in justice have been appropriated to their promised arrangement in the pur chase of the debts of the bank, and that unfair attempts have been made to induce the creditors to sell their debts at a low price. It may be said that as the law formerly stood the shareholders had no guarantee that their con tributions would free them from further liabilities, but the Act of Parliament obtained during the last session empowers the representatives of the creditors to give discharges from all further lability to creditors. Want of protection to the shareholders no longer exists, and they have, therefore, no excuse for not coming forward an l uniting in this common object, in which it is due not oaly to the credit ins but to their fellow shareholders, and, indeed, to themselves, that they should all earnestly assist. The only hope the share holders can have of averting their common ruin is by the subscription of such an amount as will satisfy the claims of the creditors, and thus prevent the otherwise inevitable necessity of putting in force an organised scheme, by which the creditors will be able to compel psyrneet of their debts in full, and invalidate th.:re dis positions of property which have been made in the hope of placing it beyond their reach. The shareholders in divideally must feel the force of this appeal. If properly responded to, the desired object may be attained ; but if each shareholder should still withhold his contribution from the apprehension that it will weigh little in the scale, it is manifest that the compromise cannot be effected. It is beosuse shareholders have hitherto hesi tated to come forward according to their means that so much misery has been caused. Each shareholder should feel that by now advancing more than he would be re quired to ply if all the shareholders were able to oon tribute according to the number of their shares, he is in fact saving the remainder of his property, which other wise must be wrested from him. It is therefore merely a question how much less than his entire meani each shareholder will offer, to avert certain and iintneliate ruin. Shareholders should not delude themselves by the vain hope that residence abroad wid enable them to escape the reach of creditors, or that their property will not be ultimately made available for payment of the debts. The previous offers of contribution were insuffi cient to effect the object, and the offers of many were far below their well-known available means. Tue past shareholders ere now more limner - date!) , interested in aiding the general comproiniae, because the recent law, amongst other advantages in favour of the creditors, enables the assignees to make such arrangements with the present shareholders as will entitle creditors to procesd aokiwt former members. It is admitted by the shareholders that the temporary protection given to them by the recent act would not have been obtained but for the exertions of the assignees and the committee of depositors. " It is for tho shareholders to acknowledge those Fxer• tions by taking advantage of the protection afforded them, and giving, while ( thakprotection coptinues, their active and prefge4io assistanaa in.carryirtent,tha corn prorni , e. If the shareholders continue pi.sive that. compromise must fail, their temporary protection will he withheld, and a wer-organised and vigorous plan will be res - irted to for , the p?tpose of enforcing payment of the debts in full. The un-nocessful attempts hitherto made to bring about the compromise induce the assig nees to by-lievo that the only modo likely to lead to a successful result is to hold a meeting of all the share holders past and present. and this letter will therefore bo acc.)inpanied by an offraial circular convening a meet ing at which all a-e earnestly invited to attend, at which the assignees will be present.

" Re the Royal British Bank. - - " Sir,—We are requested to forward the enclosed circular expressing the views of the assignees of this estate upon the subject of the proposed general compro mise. By the recent act of Parliament temporary pro tection had been given to the shareholders against prc cecdings of creditors. The opportUnity is, therefore, now afforded to the shareholders of assimting without molestation in such arrangements as may be necessary for the purpose of carrying out the compromise. It must be evident that if the shareholders do not avail them selves of this opportunity for the purpose, it will he im possible to prevent the consequences which must inevit ably follow. We have, therefore, earnestly to invite ) our attendance at a general ineeting of the shareholders to be held at the Guildhall Coffee House, King-street, Cheap side, on Wednesday, the 11th day of November next, at hal'-past six o'clock in the evening precisely. " It is desirable that you should fill up and return the nclosed f.,rm as early as possible, and that if you can not be present at the meeting you should depute some person to attend for you, with authority to act as may be necessary. We feel convinced that compromise can be effected if the shareholders will unite together for that purpose. The assignees on behalf of the creditors will lend all the assistance in their power to carry out the compromise, and no exertion shall be wanting on our part to ensure its sucoess.—We remain, sir, your obe dient servants, (Signed) " J. arid J.

There has been no new evidence obtained ; and it is not believed that a strong case can be constructed on the old testimony. However, should Spollen escape from the clutches of his gaolers once more, the executive will be able to say that it has done its duty to the utmost in his case.

FLOODS IN ESSEX AND LOSS OF CITE.--'-00 Thursday night a great part of Essex was visited by a fearful storm, or rather a succession of storms, of thunder and lightning, and as the rain bad fallen heavily through out the whole of the day the rivers were soon swelled to torrents, which committed terrible devastation in their course. Large tracts of land were speedily flooded, and in the direction towards Malden and Crouch whole flocks of sheep were drowned in the fields. Mr. Kemp, an extensive farmer in that dit trict, lost E 0 shebp besides some cattle ; and on the farm of Mr. Hart, a neighbouring gentleman, whole fields may be said to have been carried away, as the cultivated soil over many acres has been swept off by the force Of thif. waters ; and the farm buildings ar,d barns were inundated to the depth of several feet. All the farms and villages in a direction towards the coat fur miles bear traces of the havoc committed many houses having been inundated and much property injured. At Burnham a sad catastrophe occurred. A wedding in the town that day had been attended by a party of young farmers fro m th e neighbouring district, and two of them were on their way home at night in a horse and gig when they were met by the flood ond one of them, Mr. J. R, ham, jumping out to secure th e horse, was swept away by the to rren t an d d rowned. His body was found nex' day some distance from the spot.

Besides, his Majesty has given another sample of magnanimity which some of his crowned satirists would do well to imitate.

THE INDIAN MUTINY RELIEF FUND. The Lord Mayor has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Morning Post : Sir,—The very judicious and thoughtful obser vations which yq,u gave to the public in your lead ing article of to day with reference to this subject appear to me to require and to deserve a prompt e , cplanatory reply. Such a reply naturally divides itseif into two part;—fint, a delineation of the :, , 3heme and principles on which it is intended to administer this fund ; and next, a statement, if pos stble, of the nature and extent of the distress which will require relief, and the probablo amount which will be necessary for the purpose. The first of these topics I enter upon with the more willingness, becau e the committee are speci ally desirous that the strongest light of publicity -hould be thrown on overy part of their proceed ings. With relation to the gortoral principles by wh:ch they have re •olved to I” guided in the dis tribution of relief, I may be krmitted to present a series of rcsolution3 which has alr,:ady b3en adver tised in your columns "1. The object of this committee is to relievf>, as far as !nay i,e prooticAble and neeesssry, the distress caused by the rautihies in ILdia. " 2. In doing so, eareshould be taken not to supersede the asehtance which ought to be given by the Govern ,cent, by the established Widows' and.Orphans' Funds, or by the relations of the sufferers ; but to suppleinent it to the extent to which it falls short of ajust muslin of " 3. Compensation for losses, as such, wilt in no case bl given. " 4. Subject to the preceding conditions, the efforts of the committee will be specially directed— " Fir:4. To enable the sufferers to live with frugality in their respective states of life until other mane of sub. si -;tence.are • " S••eand, To provide for the maintenance and educa t,i•in of children iri ca czin which ithasiz=uititcyruptc.l. nr provcutrd 17y ea-kunl.is arising , cut of thOi inn it,y, and it cannot be provided fz.r from other 8cl:iron& "Third. To assi4 SjlTerEra to c one to thin coun- try or to go to India, when the &rcumitances render it proper that they shod I do so, and the mean,' of paying , or their passage cannot be obtained from any other q,u - " Fourth. To afford reasonable aid, by loan or olpher. wise, to officers and others who have lost their equip :mont•r, fornit ure, or other property, by the neceseity of sudden fight from their st 'Mons or the destruction of their d.vellings, when, . without such they would be involved in pecuniary etnbarrassmopts. "5. That relief according to these privaciples be given, without distinction of religion or nationality, to every perf.on of whatever rank who has a just claim upon the yrnpathy and aQ. , istance of the British people." These resolutions have, been transmitted t) the Relief Committee at Calcutta, and although the Cen tral Committee have not yet received a reply to their communication ; still, from documents in !heir possession, they have roman to believe that the principl,s on which they have agreed for their own regulation will substantially form the basis.of tie ad Ministration of the fund in India. With respect to the more detailed arrangements c.f the committee in the admtnistration of relief, the information which they thsirz3 to afford to the public should be distributed under two heads—that :shich refers t) the sufferers in built, and that which has respect to those at home, and under their own eyes, who have been reduced to distress by the suspension of remittances and other disastrous con sequences of the inutinito. As to the first the coraMiltao have already con signed to the case of the Governor-General at Cal cotta the sum of 40,0001., remitted iu company's bills and specie, to be placed at the disposal of the relief committee there.. They have further QOll - to Lord Elphinstone 3,0001. for the tem porary relief of sufferers in his presidency, and have sent 6,0001. to Sir John Lawrence, the Chief Com missioner at Lahore, for similar application in that district, and have entrusted to him 1,0001. in aid of the funds of the Lawrence Asylum. The applications for relief which have been made to the committee during the brief period of its existence have necessarily been few in number, and cmlined to cases of distress in our own country. The bulk of the funds already expended by the committee have been applied to the relief of sufferers in the East-. But, in anticipation of the influx of cases which must necessarily be expected on the arrival in England of persons reduced to destitution abroad, the committee have requested the transmission to them ' by every mail, of the most precise information from their co-operators in Calcutta embracing a comprehensive _record of their proceedings—an account of their receipts and expenditure, and a minute detail of all the par ticulars of cases to which they have supplied relief, including the name and condition in. life of the applicant, the nature and extent of his loss or dis tress, and the mode and degree to which that distress has been relieved. Prior to any grant to cases, whether domestic or b foreign, sye the t9 most interrogatory rigid esrreissd o prosecuted ci t y a m of the rimcuimla y s r stari o applicant, etba t a th n e d e e a m se br e ac an in system of inquiry addressed to ref erees, an d a bearing not only on the particular nature and extent of the bu involve, veCovlevrey, material b a pplicant's necessities, t alsoupon the conditi on o f his relatives and connections, and upon everything which can throw light on his future prospects of independence of fortune. Upon the second topic mooted in your article of to-day no such precise and detailed information can be afforded to the public. Sufficient time has uire d in the Indi a not yet elapsed si nce th e out b reak of these oda mi to u s events data t fooar allonwy how ever vague, as t o th e extent which these disasters ocaflthcuelat comm ittee ion, having a may reach, or of the loss of life and property W hich they may entail. Probably at th's, moment the Governor in Council and th e R e lief Committee at i _ Calcutta would profess I:o inoreab - Ifity to form any thing which would deserve the name of a reliable estimate. Of this, however, the public ma y rest assured, that all thit_information which (the com mittee receives from'indid, an d all the proceedings which they take upon suchinformation, shall be as this the fu b n e d ri efi b once that fully known to the world as to themselves, and that : supplied. the British public and theirCbenevolent fellow workers in every qu arter of the globe shall, with respect f witinformation orthaetiaolnlo:,sataioronpio:, as raised it. The committee are most deeply sensible of the magnitude of that responsibility which has been devolved upon them, and their chief resource under that pressure is that entire publicity which shall at once constitute the e o f guarante an d the solicitation ‘, _ their own integrity 0 / the suggestions of put lie opinion, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1857. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 25. The Royal Mail steamship Arabia has arrived with advices from New York to the 14th inst., and 1,400 dots. On the 15th she passed a vessel supposed to be the Vanderbilt. Advices from the city of Mexico to the 4th re port that the Mexican Congress had held a preli minary meeting, and chosen Emanuel Ruiz Presi dent. The insurgents of the South cDntinued to hold out against. the-Government forces, and it was re ported that Alvarez had been assassinated. The news by this arrival is of great importance to the commercial community, it being reported that the ship -has brought an enormous quantity of returned dry goods. The money panic had come to a crisis. Never did Wall-street present such a scene as on the 13th, the day before the sailing of the Arabia. From time to time the announcement of City Bank suspensions was made, until the total failures numbered 18. No failures of importance of commercial houses. • On the 12th a run commenced on several of the New York banks, the result of which is given as follows by the New York Courier and Enquirer of the 14th : " The banks of the city of New York, by their, officers assembled at the Clearing-house last night, resolved to millpond specie payments this morning, and appointed a committee to proceed to Albany, and request the Governor to convene the Legisla ture to consider the necessity of enacting some law to give relief to the present financial emergency. They also resolved to make the most energetic ex ertions for the resumption of specie payments at an early day, and recommended that no divi dend be made to stockholders until such resump tion. The cause of this action on the part of the banks was a severe run upon them, which commenced yesterday morning and continued throughout the day, compelling during its progress many of their number to succumb to its pressure, and placing before the remainder the certainty of the same fate in the renewal of a run still more severe to-day in case they opened their doors to admit it • never, indeed, in th e financial history o f New York was there a more trying and exciting time than yesterday. For weeks the meretkants of New York has fallen in numbers, like so many sacrifices, on the threshold of the banks, beyond whose iron doors came no response to their appeals. Yesterday a multitude, like a destroying army, came down on the banks themselves, and sacrificed them in turn within the doors which they had endeavoured to bar so strongly. We need not describe this run in its outward features; each one sees the picture, though he may not have been in Wall-street or in the neighbourhood of the up-town banks,—a street crowded with two distinct classes, the one thirsting for gold crowding in hundreds the doors of the banks, and forming long lines up the steps and through the halls, with anxious faces and hands nervously clutched over their chicks and draughts, crowding and jostling ; and the other the lookers-on, crowd ing the side-walks, joking and wondering how long the banks would stand the run. Such was the picture. Between the distresses of the merchants, who have been called upon to pay when they had nothing to pay with, and the almost total destruc tion of confidence among the poorer classes of the people, there were chaos and confusion throughout the city. Tha Bank of New York, the oldest in New York, one always liberal to its customers, and especially so during the late contraction, paid out its specie manfully until about 1 o'clock, when it paid nothing but banknotes and certified checks for the re.t of the day. The Leather Manufacture's' Bank paid out also until about noon, when it also stopped, although 90,000 dole. in specie were due on its exchange account in the Clearing-house but which could not be obtained, and so the run pro gressed. Many of the banks th at maintain themselves kept open their doors until late in the afternoon so as to give all a chance to get their specie. Among these were the Bank of America, the Bank of Commerce, and the Bank of the Commonwealth. The Bank of America paid out $150,000 in specie, the Bank of America $85,000, the Bank of the Common wealth $90,000. The insolvency of the Marine Bank, we are informed, was averted by a coup de main of their friends, some of whom obtained a writ of injunction upon their proceedings. • The prevalent opinion yesterday was that a few of t' e old strong bank s com bi ne d toget h er to force the sbmmuasajiolrlireeirst business to bankst o into a werem t compelledc 1 liquidation, confinecurtail ntgh their t s p he tine number. - n tdo In uds rations, and in the general restriction many of our most wealthy, honourable, and useful firms have been ramified. We speak within bounds when we say that this cause has driven 50,000 men and women out of our workshops into idleness and poverty. The banks which were suspended were as follows :—Merchants' Exchange, Ocean, North River, Irving, St. Nichola., Citizens', Market, Ma rine, the Tradesmen's Bank, the Butchers and Drovers' Bank, the Leather Manufacturers' Bank, the Bank of New York, the Chatham Bank, the Ne w York Exchange Bank, Beira Head Bank, Bank of the State of New York, Broadway Bank, Arti • sans' Bank, and People's Bank." The New York Shipping List says of the Bank statement for the week ending the 10th :—" It is much more favourable than generally expected. Allowing for the absence of the returns of two sus pended banks, the decrease in the discounts is about 4,000,000 dots., so that the banks since their informal agreement to expand their lines 3 per cent., entered into a fortnight ago, so far from granting the increased accommodation of 3,000,000 doll., whioh would have resulted from that mea sure cowing into efftct in good faith, have actually made afurther contraction of about 5,000,000 dole. The decrease in the undrawn deposits it will be seen, after allowing for those in the two suspended banks, is a trifle over 3,090,000 dole., while there is an inc rease i n th e spec i e reserve o f a bout 75,000 dollars." The same paper says It is impossible to negotiate mercantile paper during the present panic, and - money quotations would therefore be no guide. Stocks generally rose on the banks' sus• pensions. Little has been done, on account of the unsettled stat e o f th e money - mar k e t, and our quo tations are nominal. We quote sterling 98 to 102 per cent." - The New York Courier and Enquirer says : " The confusion in the Street to-day has been so great that business has been in a large measurt! neg lected. N o quo t at i ons of foreign or domestic ex changes can b e g i ven. The market values of pro perty, of stocks, of produce, &c., are all nominal. The banks of the city, having as much as they can do to take care of their own payments, are forced to refuse the notes of the country banks of New England and New York ; the brokers also refused to buy them, and this adds to the confusion before prevailing. We have no further advices as to suspensions in the South. At Charleston the Bank of South Carolina has closed its doors, also the South-Western Rail road Bank. At New Orleans and St. Louis the banks are stronger than in any other parts of the country, and will, we think, continue specie pay ments ; but in other portions of the Union—Vir ginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, &c.— the banks cannot in justice to themselves maintain specie payments while so many others are under suspension.. The Stock Bo ar d t o -d ay seem com paratively . mdependent of fi nanc i a l revuls i on, and the quotations show an advance in some few stocks, though they are the single exception in the whole range of the securities and merchandise now for sale." The latest quotations were—New York State Sixes, 90 ; Virginia Sixes, 67 ; Missouri Sixes, 60i ; New York Central, 541; New York and Erie, 8 ; Reading, 29 ; Michigan Central, 35 ; Cleveland and Toledo, 21 Panama, 65 ; Illi no i s, 51; Chicago and Rhode island, 58 ; Galena and Chicago, 53 ; La Crosse, si. The Pennsylvanian Legislature had passed a bill fixing the second Monday in April next as the day for the resumption of specie payment by the Banks. The New York Express states that at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th there were collected about 50,000 persons. The New York Journal of Commerce quotes ex change at 90 to 100, with a good supply of se cond classs at 90 to 96. Among the principal failures were the following firms :—At New York—Harper Brothers, Wood and Grant, Hoppock and Greenwood, Connelly and Adams, G. S, Hilman Buckley and Moore, Baptist and White, Brummell and Roysters, Dykers and Alstyne, Hall, Dana, and Co., Lud lam, Legg e tt, an d C o., L.

They were hired bravo'.'s, but their employers were unknown. business was suspended, the quotations being for Three per Cents., registered, 47 to 47i ; Coupons, 464 to 47 ; and Deferred, 28 to 28i ; Bank of Por tugal shares, 10 to 11 per cent. pm.; and Bank of Oporto shares, 21 t 022 per cent. pm. Our correspondent at Oporto writes as follows on the 18th : " The exchange for this packet was done at 54f to for good local bills on London at 90 days' date. A good deal of Brazil paper was offering. Money was very scarce, and a quantity of bills remained over, some holders of which could have negotiated them a week back with greater facility and at a better rate of exchange. The money market is in a manner partially deranged, owing to many houses in the capital being closed in consequence of the fever, and which has tended in a great measure to cause suspension of money transactions between the two places. "Business in general very slack, and is wine shipments hardly the usual routine is going on. I'h•re is some stir in orange shipments, which are very dear, owing to many speculators more than usual being in the market ; but there appears to be a want of shipping suitable for fruit. "Nothing further offering. BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MU.RDRB, PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY. This town and neighbourhood has been thrown into a state of great excitement and alarm by the perpetration, in the middle of the night, of a cruel attempt to murder Mr. Braddon, a magistrate at Cornwall, in his bedroom at his country seat at Blackland. This morning about two o'clock the servants were aroused by the ringing of their master's bell, and, the cook having alarmed the butler, he found Mr. Braddon lying with his face covered with blood. His son was then called, and the family for some time considered that an artery had burst. Shortly after, however, the pantry window was discovered. to have been forced, the drawing-room poker in a bent condition was found lying inside the front door, and the door unlocked. These evidences of the intrusion of burglars were unfortunately confirmed on a surgical examination of the condition of their victim. One of Mr. Braddon's eyes protruded from the socket, and his temples exhibited two blows, laying open the skull bone, which was fractured, the wortnas and the shock had thrown him into a state of insensibility, from which he recovered to ring his bell. We regret . _ _ to state that there is very little prospect of his sur viving. It is evident that at least one of the bur glars knew well the interior of the premises and the habits of the inmates, and that after passing through the pantry and spending some time below he armed himself with the poker and went up stairs to the bedroom, where, probably, in consequence of Mr. Braddon's being arowed, the injuries were inflicted. At this moment it is supposed that some imaginary alarm induced the robbers to mike a precipitate re treat through the front porch. Mr. Braddon's watch was under his pillow and 14 or 15 sovereigns were on his dressing table loosely covered with a hand kerchief. The plate-room door was locked ; the burg]. Ira did not attempt to force it for fear of dis turbing iistnoshaitzt missing. tgt e ho: T i m n kob rn e yre.ui a stße r s, e oi r : aa , redn a t dd n ixwo d oe: rn t ,oe h tio e huf y eoxnruf. f on, a r i da rdl rooms, e aeg d rpteht which greatcoat,e oho ji open fi..cyh t men'sh th e y e arti clesbel oa e cr l o kr shoes, and, wrapped in a handkerchief, a Bible and Prayer-book, like those given to couvicts on their departure from the Dartmoor prisons, which are not far off. Mr. H. Treby, who resides at Gada moor, having been speedilycalled, waited the arrival of Mr. Pode, burgeon, from Plympton, and thm proceeded t 3 the Cornwoo I Station of till South Devon Railway, about a mile south, to watch the departing passengers ; and infor mation having been forwarded to Plymouth, In spector Thomas, of the detective force, went to Blackland, and was followed by Dr. Yonge and Mr. Square, surgeons. Mr. Braddon, who is a widower, nearly 70 years of age, was formerly judge of the C .lcutt). Snider Dewanny, the highest of the Company's courts in Bengal ; his residence is in the parish of Plympton St. Mary, eight miles from Plymouth on the west, and five from Ivybridge on east. Strong suspicion rests on a man of Swiss extrac tion, called James Baudisto, who, about two or throe - soars since, was taken into the service of Mr. Braddon. He was dismissed for improper con duct towards one of the servant women. This man went to the house of Captain Hewlett, R.N., a relative of Mr. Braddon, at Portimout'l, and robbed his servant of 51. He is supposed about the same time to have broken open his landlady's desk and taken they. from several sovereigns. A coachman at one of the Plymouth hotels was also plundered. His last known theft was that of a gun, for which he was imprisoned six mouths in Winchester, gaol. The abstraction of the greatcoat increases the suspicion, as the clothes of Mr. Brad don, jun., are known to fit Baudiste, and there are indications that the conflict in the bedroom was caused as much by a spirit of resentment and re venge as by a desire for gain. Au empty bottle and the footmarks of two persons were found under a window in a secluded part of the premises, and near it, on an artificial bed of shrubs, were marks made apparently by two men reclining. Here, concealed - by the foliage, the robbers are supposed to have watched the gradual extinction of the household lights and the approach of the hour best suited for the execution of their villanous designs. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING. The ex-butler Baudist.F., who is supposed to have made the murderous attack on Mr. Brad don at Blacklands yesterday morning, was cap tured here by the police in the stree's this morn ing. He had on a grey greatcoat, contain ing a pair of gentleman's kid gloves and two strange keys. His companion, Thomas Brown, 19, dressed like a sailor, acknowledged, after consideraMe pre varication, that they arrived here by steamer from Portsmouth on Friday. After examination before the Plymouth bench to-marrow the prisoners will he transferred to the magistrates of Plympton St. Mary. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Our readers will hear with regret that an accident has occurred to " Big Ben" whi c h h as d e p r i ve d hi m of that voice and tone to which they had already become familiar, and which it was hoped would be hoard for many years from the lofty clock tower of the new Palace at Westminster. For some time past it has been the custom to toll the bell a short time a t, 1 o'clock on Saturdays. On Saturday the proceedings wore commenced as usual, and after the hammer struck the third time it was found that the sound was not the old familiar E natural, but a cracked and uncertain sound. The superintendent of the works immediately gave orders for the suspen sion of the performance, and a close examination of the bell took place. No place could, however, be discovered in the first instance. The search was renewed, and a lighted candle was taken inside the bell, and while being moved slowly round the out side was carefully watched; at. length, to the dis may of all the persons present, light shone through the thick metal, and there was no further room for doubt that the bell was cracked. The " crack" in the bell rises perpendicularly from the rim, or lower lip to about half way up the side, and it is directly opposite to the spot on which the bell was struck by the large hammer. For some time past grave doubts have been expressed as to the pro priety of continuing the Saturday performances on the bell in the position in which it was hung. Situated at the foot of the clock tower, and sur rounded by a close hoarding, the friends of , " Big Ben" complained strongly of the unfair treatment to which he was subjected by being struck in a po sition where he had no room to develope his power, and not a few have considered that he was not struck fairly by the blows of the huge square and clumsy hammer which fell upon his metal side. Whether it be true or not that " Big Ben" was hung unfairly, or struck unfairly, the fact unfortu nately is that his voice is for ever silenced, and not until he has been broken up, again melted and cast, may we expect to hear " his once familiar voice." The accident occurring at the present mo ment is the more to be regretted inasmuch as it was expected that a short time only would elapse before he would be placed in the belfry for which he was destined. Every thing had been prepared for his reception in the lefty eminence of the "Clock Tower," the "cradle" for carrying him up and the chains for hanging him were all ready, and Sir C. Barry waited only the arrival of the four sma l l bells for striking the quarter hours, when the clock, which in the factory of Mr. Dent has for months past been its p lace , the most exact time , w ould be p ut in p lace ) and " Big Ben " would be elevated to these regions where the boom of his mighty voice could be heard over the whole metropolis to proper ad vantage. The quarter bells are cast, and it was expected that by the meeting of Parliament the whole arrangements would have been completed. Several months must . now olspse before th e b e ll can 4 be recast and placed is its potation, )
