The Committee of the Stock Exchange on Thursday
ordered the resolution passed last January, for the pro-
tection of the brokers against frauds by their principals,
to be posted up again, those frauds having been very
numerous of late. The plan, it will be remembered, is
to set down the dishonest principal's name in a black book,
which all the brokers, on the appearance of a new cud •
tomer, are recommended to consult.

HEINOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. --
NORWICH, OCT. 7.—The inhabitants of this city during
the week have been much excited by the report of a
clergyman of considerable standing in this part of the
county having committed an abominable offence, the
chief evidence being that of a man named Roberts, be-
longing to the constabulary force. On Monday last the
Rev. E. Saul Dixon, rector of Intwood-cum-lieswiek,
and chaplain of the union, was charged before the ma-
gistrates for the hundred of Humbleyard, by the aforesaid
constable, with having attempted to commit the heinous
crime above-mentioned. The magistrates took the
charge in a private room at Norwich Castle, aid the
evidence is, therefore, but partially known, but the re-
sult was such as to determine them to commit the rever-
end defendant for trial at the ensuing Norfolk assizes.
FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT EAST DRAYCOMEE.--
On Wednesday night afire broke out on the premises of
J. W. Patterson, Esq., of Wilton House. It was first
discovered by one of the police. The engine from Dray-
combe, and others from Marston and Layfield soon ar-
rived; but before any efficient means could be brought
to bear upon the flames the fire had made rapid advances,
and by three o'cleck in the morning nearly the entire
edifice was consumed. By (tint of great exertions on
the part of the firemen an extensive range of offices were
preserved. A considerable portion of the furniture and
other effects were saved. The inmates, with the excep-
tion of one of the female servants, succeeded in escaping
from the building uninjured. It is supposed that the
female in:question having delayed leaving the premises
until her escape by the roof was cut off, had sought the
roof, as she was seen upon the leads, and heard from
thence imploring for assistance, which the persons below
were unable to render. There is no doubt but she
perished in the flames, although no portion of her re-
mains have been discovered. Mr. Patterson and family
are at present on the continent. The property is be-
fully insured.
