LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1864

The extraordinary circumstances attendant upon
the death of Mr. THOMAS BRIGGS (chief clerk at the
blnking firm of Messrs. RUBARTS, LUBBOCK, and
still remain, up to the moment at which
CorapanY),
we are writing, wholly unexplained. All, in fact,
that is yet known in regard to teat death may be
very readily recapitulated. It was frightfully
sudden in its occurrence—rapid in its completian—
and, to all appearance, was a death of extraordi-
nary violence. Everything about it—in spite of its
bewildering suddenness, and in spite also of
the still more bewildering rapidity of its comple-
tion—pointed distinctly, upon the first discovery
of the facts of the case, to its being the result of a
most brutal murder. The particulars that seemingly
point it oat thus as a case of assassination are,among
others, these—The fearful
injuries (as from heavy
blows) discovered upon the head of the deceased !
The blood-stained floor and cushions of the compart-
ment of the first class railway carriage in which he
had, but a few seconds before, been travelling. The
bloody fin ger-marks upon the windows,upon the door
handle, upon the latch of his empty leather-bag, as
well as upon the footboard and the external pannei_
ling of the railway carriage in which he had died
and from which he had besn precipitated. Other
circumstances indicate no less conclusively the fact
that it must havo been a death accomplished by the
hand of a !murderer. Among these—the missing
watch and gold aihert-chain, the fastening
of the extremity of which chain was found
attached to the buttonshole of the dead man's
waistcoat, the rest of the chain and-the gold chro-
nometer having vanished. Added to this circum-
stance the fact of the chain having been exchanged,
under most suspicious circumstances, the very
morning after Mr. BRIGGS'S sudden and apparently
violent death, and parted with thus by a man since
