FORGERY AND SUICIDE addition to the ac-
count we gave yesterday in relation TO the suicide
Of Elder and the escape OF Burgess, we give the
iollowlng-On the 10th September last there ar
called their names Ellis the Oldest apparently
ABOUT tfiy years OF age, the other, not more than
rso or three and twenty: They boarded at the
sether by relationship, and associated with the
gentlemen boardeIs of the house. II now appears
mat their real names were Joseph Elder and Will
lam Burg' So, and that they were fugltives from
justice, in England The younger man, Burgess,
was clerk in the Bank Of England, and through
his means number OF shares In the capital stock
ct the bank, amounting TO between forty and fifty
tho sand dollars were sold and transferred, the
man Elder iraudulently representing himself
The owner Of the stock. The parties made their
escape from London and landed from the steam
er from Liverpool at Halifax, and thence travel-
Cd through the Canadas to this city. On Thurs
day, r.. Bond and John Forester the former,
another clerk in the bank, and the latter, one OF
me Manslon-house police, arrived in this city,
having been on the track OF the fugltlves for some
days In the afternoon they arrested Elder at his
boarding house in Federal street. and obtained in.
ir nfI;no INA. burgess was a. Nahant party
fouEd the culprt, but by some extraordinary acci-
dent, he made bis escape from the person who ar
rested him, and fled He was heard OF from cot
age al Nahant, and boat was yesterday missing
rom the beach, and The conclusion is that he ei-
Iher put to sea, in the hope Of being taken up by
vessel, or that he crossed over 10 the main land
At the Jail, he was found dead, having committed
suicide in the night by hanging himself. We learn
that he had invested his Ill-goten gains in stock
ma treasury notes, the certificates OF which were
ound on his person, when he was arrested, and
nat these, with the money found in the room Of
burgess, at Nahant, make up the sum received by
mem, except about three thousand dollars, which
has unqueslionably been spent.-Boston Transuipf,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NIemT IN CINCINNATI
As the contamination nj all terrestrial fhinoa WA
expected to have taken place last evening, and
being desirous Of seeing the effect of such belief
upon Its voarles at their last earthly meeting,
look the liberty, without putting on any material
ascension robe, as did vast multitude OF others,
Of being present The assemblaRe, indoors and
out, probably numbered fifteen hundred persons
rightly informed about the capacity Of the house,
about twelve hundred were inside. ! observed no
ascension robes on, and conclude that the rumor
OF a wagon load having been taken there yester-
day, was only a Islander There was less excite
ment than Expected, and great deal more cheer
iullness manifest in the ccuDtenances OF the be-
levers than could have been supposed at the hour
Of so serious a crisis; why, cannot, Of course,
undertake TO say, perhaps II was owing TO the 6rm-
ness Of their faith, but could not help but think
and feel (the states Of those around US are often
perceptbe from their sphere, sort OF
rounds ihem,) that they were experiencing
an inward Joy from the hope and expectation that
they were TO be permitted 10 stay with US sinners
A little longer. Considering the crowd the meet
ing was very orderly. Two or three attempts were
made by set OF rowdits out door to raise breeze
by noise and clamor, but the assertion Of the
preacher that q strong police was present Gained
the multitude, aud he enabled to proceed with
what he al the close said was, in his opinion, his
last warning to sinful world He finished by
shaking his coat tails in token OF clearing bis skirts
Of the blood OF those he had thus warned 10 pre-

Before 9 O'Clock the benedction was pronounced
md the people advised TO go quietly home
md await the awful coming, which not
unlikely might uanspire at the hour OF mid
hight while most OF us were wrapped IN Sleep
Notwithstanding all this, daylight, yea, most
splendid day of sunshine, is again upon US, and
with II, we hope the deuded (but many Of them,
