BURGLARY AND 4TTEMPTED MURDER NAAR
PLYMOUTH.

A daring burglary and attempt to murder took
place on Friday night at Pimples, about four miles tad
of Plymouth. In one of the numerous gentlemen's seta of
that village, called Blacklanda, lives Mr. Braddon, a retired
Bait India judge. The establishment consists of Mr. Braddett
himself, his son and daughter, two men and four women
arstrenta. About one o'clock on Friday night the footman
was moaned by the ringing of hie master's bell. Oa going to
Minxes he found the old gaeNemaa faint from blows on the
head,
cat his ch
eek. lie was scarcely conscious, and quiteleM2
to give an accotuit of how he.bad been injured.
The county police stationed at l'lympton were at the
boas early in the morning, and it was found that some per-
son had entered the house by the pantry window, and gone
out by the hall door. It was found that the poker had been
taken from the drawing room, and it was found in
the hall much bent. A cap and a low-quartered
shoe were found in the hall. The shoe is such as ore
generally worn by seafaring people. The policemen Bun-
clerk and Perkins were in the course of the morning joined
Cthe sergeant and inspector of the district, and by Mr.
dd, the superintendent, and Sergeant Thomas, of the Ply-
mouth Borough Police; and the result of their united in-
quiries and conaultatkna was a suspicion that the outrage
had been committed by a man named Jam. Bogus, who for-
merly lived se footman with Mr. Bnuidon, and was suddenly
diamimed nearly three years since. Bogus is understood to
have been to sea since 011 • steward, to have got into some
sort of trouble and spent some time in gaol, from which he
has only recently been liberated. He is said to have been
seen in the neighbourhood during the last few days, wearing,
se it is believed, the cap found in Blacklande lions on
Saturday morning.
If it bed been the intention of the perpetrator of this out-
rage to commit robbery, it is assumed that he must have
been suddenly alarmed ; but as no one heard anything of hie
exit, it is thought the purpose of the villain must have bean
to murder Mr. Bieddon. Mr. Braid= is over 70 years of
age, and very Infirm ; and it is thought that the would. be
ameirein moot have supposed his desperate work accomplished
by the blows inflicted. There was no blood on the poker,
but rearming that to have been the murderous implement
used, the we were struck on the bed-clothes in which
Mr. Braddon is known to have been in the habit of wrapping
his head. The plate in the pantry through which the
intruder pawed, sad Mr. Braddon's gold watch and puree, on
his bed-room table, were not meddled with, but an overcoat
was taken from the hall. . .

Amongst other urcumatances tending to throw suspicion
on Bogus, it is mentioned that whilst at Blacklands, to eon.
eequence of a dispute, he Bossed through the pantry window.
He had opposed the opinion that it was impossible for a man
to get In at the pantry window, end being himself a spare,
thin, agile man, illustrated his argument by passing through
the window.

rLIMPTON, SUNDA'S Mortutro.
Mr. Breddon continual to give hopes of recovery up to
last night. The police are amid to have obtained a clue to
the direction taken by the perpetrator of this dreadful out-
rage on leaving Blacklenda-and it I. expected he will soon be
apprehended. Mr. Braddon, jun., who sleeps on the same
floor with his father, heard some one pea and touch his door,
as be suppoem, between 12 and 1 o'clock, but supposing it to
be his father, be took no further notion. and fell asleep. The
impremion that Bogus is the culprit gains ground hourly. It
is not stated wherefore, but he is known to have entertained
feelings of illwtll and hatred towards Mr. Breeldon.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
PLYMPTON. SUNDAY EVENING.
Mr. Braddon is progressing favourably, but has no recol-
lection of how he received the blows.

Junes Bogus, or, as he terse it, 130 gust, wax appre-
hended in Plymouth et one o'clock with a young man in his
company. . . . . . .

-
The look of the plate-chest is found to have been tam-
pered with. A bible and prayer-book, and a parcel, were
found on the gnaw near Mr. Bracket'. house. Dogma is
said to have just been discharged from Winchester gaol,

MURDER AND ATTEMFTED SUICIDE AT BEVER-
tev.—On Saturday morning, at half-poet twelve o'clock, a
murder and attempted !Middle were it mild to have been com-
mitted in the garden of John Masters, Lon . Register-house,
Beverley. Mr. Meister' hadin his employ Henry Barker, as
gardener, and Ellen Hatfield, es housemaid, between whom
en intimacy existed, and it was expeettd they would be mar-
ried. On Friday afternoon the female Fervent went, as it is
supposed, to have some conversation with the gardener, and
not making her appearance at tea time, she was called
for, and did not answer. About half-peat seven the servants
in the house began to be alarmed, and seta to Baker's house,
and found he had not been there since diem r. They then
searched part of the garden, which is a large one, with
caadlee. but found nothing. They waited anxiously until
abut 11 o'clock, and sent for Mr.llobiaa in at the borough
geol. It was also discovered that Dot, had taken his
nuns and money from hie relatives. R. 1.11.012 then gave
information to Mr. Dove the superintendent of police,
who, with other parties, again mouthed the garden and, In •
short time, were shocked with a most awful spectacle. The
gardener WWI found laid in a pool of blood, with his throat
cut, and just breathing. The poor woman was also dis-
covered about a yard and a half from him, with her heed
nearly revered from her body, and life had been extinct some
time. The gardener was removed into the house, and the
mayor and Mr. Bonbon were soon in attendance. He is still
alive, but not the slightest hope is eutertiinist of his recovery.
Some letters were found on the person of Go: deceased which
will partly explain the motive for the awful deed. Baker
was a quiet inoffensive man, but has be, n rather 10W in
spirits lately. The unfortunate deceased had been with Mr.
Handers some time and was highly rh.pocted. Her fellow
servants slam Guest's ate very little dinner and seemed to
be out of spirits. An incluse will le held t is d iy.
TILE WATERLOO-BRIDGE MURDE:t.—The police
are still actively engaged in searching for anything that may
throw a light upon this mysterious affair. It has just been
ascertained that about four weeks ago a man of gentlemanly
appearance, about 5 feet 7 in. in height, and with dark hair
an whiskers, called at the Prince of Wales, In Upper Ken-
aington-lane, Lambeth, and asked for a bed. On finding
that he could not have one, he netted and received permission
to leave his bag and coat, which the toadfish- states corre-
sponded exactly with those now exhibited et the Bow-street
station. Hethen went away, and tlie landlady, who watched him,
saw him proceed in the direction of Vaimball in company
with a female resembling the one dreerited by the toll-keeper
at Waterloo-bridge. It has been further ascertained that the
man then eared at the George and Dragon, Vauxhall, aiked
for a bed, and on being informed that he could not have one,
went away with the woman as before. Ho then returned to
the Prince of Wake and received his bag and coat, leaving six-
pence in payment. From the deecription given of the woman
at thew houses the police have hopes of apprehending her
beton very long.
THE BODY OF A GENTLEMAN FOUND DROWNED.
—Ott Saturday afternoon the body of a gentleman, about
thirty years of age, was found floating in the Surrey Canal,
near the bridge, on the Lower Deptford road. The body,
which had apparently been in the water some days, was
brought on thore and conveyed to a neighbouring house to
await an inquest. The deceased I. about 5 feet 10 inches
high, and has auburn heir. He was (hewed in an 010121=
coat, shawl pattern vest, black trousers, and flack elk stock.
with whits spots. The supposition is that the deceased had
been walking along the canal banks, and fallen into the
water, as at the time the body was dierovere.l he had on his
hands a pair of 'black kid gloves. Ou hia peroin were found
a whits 'tether purse, Russia leather pocket-bsok, and a new
church service.
WINTER ABSIZE.—There will be Winter Assizes
for general gaol delivery in the larger centre., and where the
matte number of prisoners are to be found. These assizes
will be held for Melina trials only, as they have been for
two or three years past. The plan, of the commissioners for
a general winter amazes must receive the inaction of parlia-
ment before it is permanently adopted.—Obsever.

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 26.

WI still look is men for any indication of im-
prormsat in the immediate prospects of the Money
fileeket. The teatime spun which the country has
veal NMI to en igratalate limit is the calmness at
the goblin Bic& darn' the present crier, sad the
ems city with which all creme scoot the idea at
shwa or panic. As the &misogamist of oar Money
Market arises principally from foreign hairnets,
over which we have little or no control, it is a
natural consequence that ear position can be affected
in only a seconiLiry degree, and that the subsidence
of the foreign pri scare will be the signal foe imme-
diate relief. Meanwhile, we have so part is the
financial unennndseas and mosequeat embarrear
merit from a! ieli other nations are sufferieg so se-

rerely. Hut a glance at the general poaitioo of mone-
tary affair' prone that there are as yet no signs of
the expected relief, and even excites en apprehension
that the wont of the preemie has not yet been ex-

perienoed here. First, let as glance at the position
of the Bank of England. The following statement
exhibits the num went in the three leading items ai
the balance-sheet daring the last six weeks:

Now, although during the air weeks the Bank has
parted with nearly two millions in gold, and although
the reserve, or fund out of which it affords accom-
modation, is reduced to an unusually low point,
there is nothing alarming in this comparison. A
large reduction of the reserve invariably occurs at
this period cf t'..e quarter, owing to the payment of
the dividend+. The comparison is rather suggestive
of caution th.lo of anxiety. The Directors acted with
promptitude and decision at an early period of the
drain, and the ',suit is that instead of the gold being
draughted array at the rate of a million a week,
as would ei rtaittly have been the cue had a lees
vigorous policy been adopted, the decline in the bullion
is very gradual. One unfavourable feature, how-
ever, remains—the dna: is still going on ; and this
undoubtedly •a;;;,bts the probability of fresh re-
strictions. The immediate object of the Bank is to
interpose obstite.t, to the drain of gold : its metallic
stock is still c-nsiderable, but is now approaching a
point at which foreign attempts upon it will be
watched with evtn increased vigilance, and met, if
necessary, by sti:l more stringent regulations than
those now enfiared. A consideration of the leading
features of tue bullion movement does not encourage

the idea that the turning-point has yet hem
reached. On the first indications of a drain
of gold to America—from which quarter,
under °railway circumstances, we are recipients of
bullion to so large an amount—the Bank Court raised
the rate of discount to 7 per cent. They then waited
for exactly one week—until Monday last—and
finding that the movement continued, and that the
accounts from .tmeriea were calculated to stimulate

it, they unhesitatingly advanced their charge to 8
per cent. It is important to remark that even this
high rate has proved insufficient to stop the drain.
That it would he inadequate we fully anticipated,
considering the enormous difference which still pre-
vails between the relative value of money in London
and in the U, States, and the mortal struggle
for the trans of upholding their credit in
which whole communities on the other side of the
Atlantic are engaged. During the last two weeks
and a halt nearly 600,0001. in gold has been
derpatehed fror.t England to New York, and of this
slim nearly one-half, or about 260,0001., was sent
during the wee is just terminated, in spite of the
advance in tar flank rate of discount to B per cent.
The disastrous intelligence received to-day from
New York is calculated to aggravate the drain of
specie thither, and, therefore, incremes the probe.
bility of the speedy adoption of fresh measures Of,
restriction ..t the Bank.
But, in addition to the American drain, there is
another feature Wiieh points to continued and even
increased eun.pliestions in the Money Market—we
allude to the demand for silver for India. The
difficulty thus I.(2asioned has long been con-
siderable, Lat the appearance of the Fast
India Company as shippers of silver for
Government so r.ics in the East bids fair
to affect the Money Market still more severely. It
is well knmun •'tut England has never say silver to
spare. Her silt' r coins are mere tokens, Intrinsi-
cally worth consideraisly less than their nominal
value, so it would not pay to export them. Then,
the nation is tio wealthy toile willing to part with
its silver att.( les of luxury or amiassent ; any rise
in the price of silver affords no imbuement la this
respect• Consequently, apart from the inadequate
supplies of silver received from Mexico mad Mbar
tram-oceanic *Airco', the Eastern demand
invariably supplied oat of that apparently inex-
haustible reservoir, the silver *linage of Continental
States. These States, however, must have gold
in return, and t►e question at once Irian,
where can the requisite supply of gold be pro-
cured upon the present emergency unless at the
Bank of England? We cannot expect Australian
gold to flow in to our relief, from week to week, just
as we want it and all the Californian gold is as
present inexorably absorbed by the United States,
who are even drawing upon our stock in addition.
Should the Fist India Company be compelled te
become regular remitters of silver to India during
the per Easters crisis, as there seems much

reason to apprehend, the effect upon the Money
Market will be prolonged and serious. Bat, to look
no further than the present week, there is every
probability that payment cannot be made for the
heavy supplies of silver engaged for the next
Eastern packet without trenching farther upon the
stock of gold which the Bank Directors arc so
jealously guarding.
•

- - -
Whilst the tendency of the bullion movement is
thus unfavourable, we must not lose sight of the
activity of the general demand for money at the
Bank. It will be remarked that the " other semi-
" ties," which on the 10th instant reached the un-
precedented amount of 22,398,8771., still stand at
20,639,:5651., notwithstanding the heavy repayments
at loans which were made to the Bank during the
dividend week. Even after making allowance for the
het dot the securities now held include the India
llleede eyes which the East India Company recently
bine& the Bank to advance a million sterling,
Me evidence here afforded of the unusually
tell employment which is found for the
Bank's means in commercial channels is alto-
gether on favourable to the hope of a diminu-
tion of stringency in the Money Market. Under
ordinary circumstances, the distribution of the divi-
dends is accompanied by an important decline in
the Bank's advances on "other" securities, and it is
not until an advanced period of the ensuing quarter
that the aggregate of these securities again acquires
large proportions. But, upon the present occasion,
the reduction is comparatively limited, and
the total still held is extraordinarily large.
The apprehension is thus strengthened that, as the
dividend money becomes diffused amongst the thou-
sand channels of trade, and as money flows back to
the Bank in the shape of Government deposits, the
supply in the Discount Market will be propor-
tionately contracted, and the Bank will be called
upon to add yet further to its unusually enlarged ad-
va-sxs. ltoubtless the Bank will be in a position to
accede to the demand, but this state of things denotes
• high rate of discount.
