liltlll'9lll,—We deeply regret to an.
eremite the death, under most distressing olrounit
statute" of an old and universally eateettied
inhtihi-
tent of this town, John Brown, FAT, eltipowner,
and formerly timber merehant, who on Wednesday
last, put a rash end to his own life, by cutting his
they'll with is rasa" The lamented gentleman, who
had ever borne a character of the highest integrity
anti sincere piety, has reliantly met with such serious
losses in business am to deprive him almost entirely of
the mean, of providing for himself icomfurtabie liveli-
hood, and it (unmet be doubted that these misfortunes,
coupled with the sliest that we. produced on Mr.
Brown's upright mind by the knowledge that others,
less able then himself to beer such great worldly losses
with resignation, were implicated in their lamentable
consequences, induced him to commit suicide. Them-
fortunate sot was not attended with immediate fatal
consequences, and Mr. Brown lingered on in a gra.
dually sinking condition until Saturday night, when
death put an end to his suffering..
COLOMIL WArali.—To the Editor Vas Tinges.
—Sir,--Colonel Waugh is in Loudon. The writer
saw him in a cab, on Sunday, near Hyde Park. My
friends are sufferers by the Eastern Bank, having
lost all they possess. Why should this wholesale
plunderer be at large while they are starving? Pray
use your influenee by giving publicity to this, that
he may be apprehended and be compelled to dis-
gorge some of his ill-gotten wealth. You will have
the thanks of the widow, the orphan, and the ruined
soldier.—A SUYlNA6l4..—Kansington, September 14.
BRANKSICA ISLAND.—On Tuesday, at the auction
Mart, Branksea Island, Castle, and estate, belonging
to Colonel Waugh, were offered to public auction
by Mr. Driver, under the prooeedings for winding
up the affair" of the London and Eastern Banking
Company. The estate comprises the Island of
Brank.sea, near Poole, containing 760 acres of land,
with castle, ports, villas, houses, quay, farm build-
ing, lakes, and fishery, a new church, terracotta and
pottery works, and mineral deposits of pottery and
china olsy. The property had been offered to public
auction on two former occasions. Wednesday the
auctioneer stated that on this amnion it had been
determined to offer it for sale on the Scotch system
of naming an upset price at which the property was
to be put up. and the highest bidder on that
amount to be the purchaser. Having described the
property, the auctioneer proceeded to otter it at the
upset pries of £50,000, but after some time had
elapsed-, and finding that he could not obtain a
single bid, he withdrew it, stating that they had
had several offers to an amount beyond the upset
price, and that no bid should now be made, which was
one of the mysteries of the auctioneering world. The
proceedings appeared to create great interest among
the gentlemen present in the densely-crowded room.
