General Register Office, Nov.

BRIGHTON, Nov. 5.

Several complaints having been made to the Post-
master-General of the loss of letters directed to various
parties in Brighton, some of which contained money,
Mr. Ramsay, one of the inspectors of the General Post-
office, was dispatched to Brighton to endeavour to find
out the guilty parties. On his arrival he obtained the
assistance of the Brighton police, and searched the whole
of the clerks, sorters, and letter-carriers. An officer was
then dispatched to each of their residences, and a strict
search made. One of the carriers has been suspended,
although there is no direct evidence to fix any of the
parties with the robberies. Notices have been fre-
quently issued, cautioning parties against sending let-
ters containing money,', without either registering, or
availing themselves of the facilities for obtaining a money
order. The Post-office authorities contemplate register-
ing every letter in which money is detected, compelling
either the receiver to pay the shilling for registering,
or returning the letter to the ,sender, and make him pay
the amount.
Mr. Hold, who attempted to commit suicide off the
Chain-pier, on Tuesday-, was sufficiently recovered to
be removed yesterday from Creak's Baths. The medi-
cal gentlemen were upwards of two hours in restoring
animation. Mr. Hold had between 501. and 601. in his
pocket when picked up.
