The notes of the Worcester Bank, conducted - tinder the partnership of Messrs. Farley, Lavender, O xen, and Gutcb, were refused payment yesterday by their London agents. The firm has been in existence about 63 years, and possessed a fix d issue of 35,463/. It it. not expected that the liabilities will be large, the ope rations of the hank having latterly been restricted. The suspension of Messrs. Heine, Semen, and Co., a firm largely engaged in business with the Continent, was announced to-day, and occasionei much regret. The connections of the house are of a very iofluen tial description ; and although their liabilities are large, being estimated at frem 500,0001. to 700,0001.. it i 3 confidently anticipated that every engagement will, at an early period, be fully liquidated. The suspension of Messrs. Th. H. Elmenhorst and Co., a German house, also having extensive engage ments, has taken place. It is thought that the assets will yield a fair dividend. It has likevOise been announced that Messrs. Wien holt, Wehoer, and Co., connected with Calcutta and Australia, have suspended. Their liabilities are presumed to be very heavy. The other falsd firms reported yesterday afternoon, include those 'of Messrs. Ward and Co., Smithfield, bankers, and Messrs. Montoya, largely engaged in the New Granadian trade.

THE OUTWARD OVERLAND MAILS.---DOVER, Friday.— The overland mails for India and China. consisting of 144 boxes, arrived here last night at 11 15, were ehippe on board the mail packet Ondine at the Admiralty pier by 11.44, and at 11.48 the mail started for Calais It was a falling tide, and every minute saved was of the utmost importance, to avoid the necessi'y and great delay of landing the mails in small boats. It was only by Pelee ing the packet of the ligh'est draft that the object was accomplished, for although she could not reach Calais until within ball an hour of low water, the Ondine took the mails over the bar and landed them at. the pier—thence they were conveyed to the railway in good time, and forwarded to Paris en route without delay.

NARROW ESCAPE OF LADY SITWELL.—On Thursday, between 12 and 1 o'clock, an accident, which might have resulted in a very serious manner, occurred to Lady Sitwell. As her ladyship's carriage was turning from Waterloo-place into Pall-mall the hordes suddenly took fright and started off at a very furious pace. Capt. Richard Lembert, who happened to be passing at the time, immediately rushed before the affrighted animals, and at the imminent danger of his own life succeeded in stopping their further progre4. Beyond the fright, the fair occupants sustained no injury. MINES.—This week has been particularly dull, the amount of bu-iness extremely limited, and until after Christmas it is generally thought we shall not have much improvement. There have been a few buyers, especially for Basset, West Seton, West Caradon, Trelawny. Mary Ann, and a few others ; but as buyers expect in times like these to get everything a pent bargain, the prices offered for shares in most cases have not been such as to tempt sellers, and consequently very little has been done. Copper has fallen lid. per lb., but as the stan dard declined for many weeks previously this may be considered more as consequent upon it than as de noting any further fall in the price of ores. Tia is down again, and the tin mines generally must be seriously affected in their profits. Lend does not seem to have fallen so much in proportion to other metals.

It is another form of the sieof Sebastopol. But the siege of Sebastopol itself has not, after all, the naked dignity of a war with simple tonnage—that primor dial and ancient power which existed before the Cyclops, before the Pelasgi, before the very giants who hurled Alien and Ossa at the Gods. And in proportion to the dignity of the contest is the patience which it demands. There are those shareholders of the Leviathan standing round in solemn silence, witnessing an awful silent contest : thee' feel the consciousness of tremendous forces at - secure and weight in dreadful antagonism like ng opposing wills, of a mighty contest of which they see the outside in - the shape of timbers, hydraulic engines, rams, and cradles, but which is itself as hidden and invisibl e as th e ac ti on o f the magnet or the journey of the electric messenger. There they are, standing round and watching for the visible effects of this invisible strug gle ; hours and hours and days and days roll on, andsmall indeed and gradual is the fruit. The Leviathan is a true instance of the proverb that " Yon may bring a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink," —at least hitherto she has effectually resisted. There she lies on the very bank of the noble river that here— movethensullen capricess engineers, and a slip of sev era l f eet seems to threa ten' alarm a second deluge. Nobody can und ers t an d her ways. Then all is still again and motionless ; the cylinders burst th e timbers crack, and she will not stir an in c h. ' We are now in the middle of this contest, arta, grand as it is, the-shareholders of the Leviathan must sometimes 'overt in thought to the disagreeable subject of its enor mous cost. This struggle of hydraulic power with tho Leviathan has already cost 70,000/ , and nobody knows how much more it will cost. We cannot understand how, with the full data before it, the number of tens to be inoved, the angle of the incline, and an ascertained rate of friction, dynamic science could not have calculsted before hand with substantial certainty and accuracy the amount of force which would be required to move the Leviathan. As it is, there has not been an approximation to a correct estimate of it.—the force has been doubled since the com mencement of the process, additions beingenade from time to time simply as the course of the experiment and as the motionless condition of the hulk made it necessary, and not at all apparently upon any basis of previous calculation. There have - been endless speculations as to how Stone henge was erected, as to how the Cyclopean buildings in Boestia, Argolis, and elsewhere were erected • but no theory, and hardly any legend, abet* Cyclops and races of giants, and their application of rude enormous strength to -- the nplifting of huge stones, ever raised a more awkward picture of via consili capers than this experiment upon the Leviathan. The engines for producing motion have been scientific, but the use of them has been as rash and uucalculatini , as if we had been depending on primitive and uninstructe:rnature. There have been omissions which it is difficult to account for ' •—the necessity even of p ro s siding a fulcrum from which the rams might act was not foreseen; and when that defect was supplied, and. the ship began to move, the rams, which ought to have moved with it, were stationary, and obliged to act upon the ship by long beams, which were constantly breaking, and which were always need with a sacrifice of power. Even shareholders' money was never more conspicuously wasted than in this blind, uncalculating struggle with this enor mous hulk. The question has been very naturally asked, " Why was not the Leviathan built, to begin with, in a dry dock of her own, • which would upon the water being let iu have itself floated her without further trout lo into the Thames ?" Had the expenses of this ultra-scientific machinery for motion been at all foreseen such a plan mast have struck any one as far the cheaper cne. But, at any rate why build her so far from the river, and interpose quite unne cessarily s ) great a distance between her and the water that wag to receive her? This was a great oversight, if anything like the present costliness of the process was anticipated, for which we find every foot of motion costs nearly a thousand pound., we may well begin to grumble at every extra foot which is grstuitons and unneces sary. The whole experiment, indeed, bears the look of the grossest miscalculation, as if the obvious and com paratively cheap expedient of a dry dock had been put aside, and even distance from the river thought of no con sequence, on the strength of some great forthcoming ex ploit of mechanical power, which exploit, wren the time comes, wholly fails. The engineer would seem purposely to have left difficulties in order that he might show the easy triumph which he could achieve over them, but when it comes to the trial the difficulties have triumphed a good deal more than the engineer. Science has seldom, indeed, looked less like herself, an i more like rude, awkward, pri maeval nature, than in this unfortunate experiment, which will, before it is over, make the cost of the launch an ut terly unheard-of proportion of the cost of the whole , ship. lIORRIBLg MURDER AAD SUICIDE. This morning an inquest was held at the Wheatsheaf Tavcrn, Thornton-heath, before the coroner for Surrey, Mr. Canter, on the bodies of Mrs. Mary Smithers, a lady of iodopendent property, arid her two sons, William, aged 33, and Charles, aged 18. The death of Mrs. Smithers and her youngest Bon, Charles, had been caused by poison, ad ministered by William, who afterwards committed suicide by the same means. The facts of the melancholy and distressing affair were as follows :—For some years past the deceased lady and hor two sons o.cupie.l the house 49, Thornton-heath, rind the family were remarkable for the love and affection which seemel to subsist between them. Will'am Holton, the elder son, has been a clerk in the Bank of England, and Charles has been engaged in the factory of Mr. Burnett, engineer, at Deptford. William had been remark able for his steadiness and general deportment, until vi ry recently, when, unfortunately, a total change came over him, and recently he had been known to drink brae dy to excess. This change, there can be no doubt, has been oc casioned by his becoming a speculator on 'Change, and the ill-luck which attended those speculations. His losses were considerable, awl from scene papers found it app. weal th rt, assignments were prepared for the dispo-al of some life policies, and also a bill f:r five hundred pounds for acceptances. It had been his (William's) custom to sleep down stairs, but fur some cause or other, he for several nights preceding the unfortunate occurrence, slept with his brother on the first floor—a proceeding ob jected to by his mother, who insisted on his resting in his own bed. On Wednesday night the unfortunate lady called out to her younger son, and asked " if William had g ne to his own room 2" and the answer, though not true, was in the affirmative. Nothing, however, occurred on that night to excite suspicion or alarm • the mother and brothers wont to bed as usual, and on the following morn ing, about seven o'.lock, the female servant, having waited some time beyond the usual period at which the family came to breakfast., went to the bedroom of Charles, and listened for a moment or so, but hearing no noise, she pushed the door open, and the first thing:which caught her view was' the face of her young master, with a dark froth .about the mouth and nostrils. The sight so alarmed her that she returned from the room, and at once ran to the house next door for assistance. Returning with the servant mail, they entered the bedroom, where they found both the brothers perfectly lifeless, and a phial and a wire Blass on the foot of tie bet'. The servant of Mrs. Smithers sum moned resolution and proceeded to her mistress's bed-700111 on the same doer, anl on entering it she found the unfor tunate lady quite dead. She lay on the bed with her head resting on her right hand, the bed perfectly unruffled. It also appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Smithers had been ailing for s rme days, and that her son William hal been in the habit of giving her the medicine preseribr d for her illness, and by this means had been enabled to give her the fatal dose which must in a moment have 'termin ated her existence, and that the fatal drug must Lave been poure 1 into the month of the youth Charles while ho ay on his back, and that the sudden shock to the circula tion had caused the froth about the month and nostrils. The quantity of Prussic acid trken by the unfortunate murderer himself wai so great that his death was imme diate. The inquiry had not terminated when our reporter eft. THE 52d T? !Willi OAT. The following letter dew.:LioJa one of the ach'eve ments of this celebrated corps, which is still adding to the laurels gained in every batlkfield. of Europe fresh renown in India, : " Camp, before Dcibi, Aug. 23, 1857 '. You will probably have hear i of encounter with the 46th Native Infantry and a wing of the 9th Light Cavalry. They mutinied at Sealkote, sacked the place, murdering several persons, melt and female. We there lost all our property, private as well as mess—in fact, everything. When we marched from Sealkote we were ordered to move as light as possible, and tee hulk of our property was placed in a building assigeed by the Bri gadier, and under a guard of the 46th Native Infantry (a fair Ca9o for compensation, you will say), but when these fellows mutinied we were at Urnritsir, and upon hearing which, and that everything hal gone, we started to cut them off. We left Urnrttsir at half-past 8 p.m , and reached Goordespore, 42 miles, at 4 next day. There we heard of our friends, son:e 15 miles off, on the other side of the Ravee river, the ford over which was 10 miles from Goordespore. They crossed this ford early the next morning, and we marched at 10 to meet theca. They bad heard of our approach, and we found them drawn up in line, both ranks kneeling, and the cavalry threatening both our flanks. Our numbers were only about 280 of the 52d, about 120 newly-raised Skhs, and 9 guns ;they bad about 800 infantry and 300 cavalry. On our drawing up in line about 250 yards from them they opened a tusillade, and in about 5 minutes we had about 40 casualties in the force. However, the moment we began to return the compliment with grape and Enfield r flee they made preparations for a bolt. Several of their cavalry came right in among us, cutting dcwn Li ec A. . ,aoghel good clothes, htioulhtdipel loft ip, Riemi.k:s theryt in l some of our gunners, and wounding a few of mine. They were, however, speedily disposed of, when up came on our left flank their right subdivision in skirmishing order, and so desperate were the follows that they we re to 'moos the all killed within 15 yards of oer lino. covering,)f sub divisionthe tn wt behaved heererettirreoa e wt ri on u afeA a wdt l b l ah y yeo i iuritt hwell,o2i trainort : a i I : , orb d imfo Idit w ryhra. e belted into the tillages ; lut % , : u te n. i ll.' i:lvaxeutri day ly" aanlYl whered threw li a d a la,l g e moment, but their shooting stroyed them all.alll b o 'II ' "n mile belaw them, two days :tiler at daylight,el. crossed a n b :l u i t ie l - They fought their guti Io a nd Fist , ramming another dose of grape.
