supposed Bluk DesaIcatl0M.
 There were tumorS in this city yester- day; of dedication ny two persons em- ployed in the Suffolk Bank. It seems that Messrs. The,ndike Rand, book keepe:, and Charles II. Brewer. receiv. jug teller, are the individuals referred to and that each has operated somewhat extensively in Canton and other fancy stocks, Mir. Brewer absented himself on Tuesday. upon the plea of indisposition, and nno,her person was put in his place lt was subsequently, ascertained that he went to New York and engaged pass. age in tie. steamer Asia for Liver pool, but was arrested on board the steamer, and yesterday morning was brought hack to the city in custody of the sheriff of New London Co. Ct. At the time of his arrest he he'd about $sooo upon him. Mr. R1nd. the book keeper. left for New York Oh Tuesday. on the plea of visiting a sick relative, and it is said that he has been seen in that city. It is also stated that he sailed in cAs of the steamers on "Wednesday, either for Europe or California; though no accurate knowledge has been received of his whereabouts. Mr. Brewer was brought befo e the Police Court yester> day afternoon. changed with stealing s50oo from the Sllolk Bank, on 23d instant. The complain: was signed by William Tucker. E D.

A Committee of tho Bank was engaged yesterday in examining. the books. .ac> counts. cheeeks, and. balances. and in counting tue specie.-Boston Atlas.
 In addition 10 the nbsys. :he Rostoa Qonsnsonaoeolth says;
 These proceedings have excited the despeat surprise aud consternasion. Mir. Brewor WAS not suspscted at the bank. The frst ipsimasion af anything wrong was the news tbAt> he bad been arrested by N. Y. otic ITS. Why was he arrsstede The explanatiod thu. far gitcn is. that he has been saspeeted'in Connecticut of having had sonre connection. with robbery which took place little more ,shan year ago.
 1t will be fecollected that tho Messen. ger of the Thames Bunk. New London, was robbed iu the Norwich Station House where he was waiting to take the steam. boat train to this city, of carprt bag contaiuing $s9, GOO which lie was b,ing ing to the suffolk Bank. The story was that a stranger stepped up 10 l,ini 10 in. qure tue time. and di ectly afterhit him with klung shot, left his, insensible, and walked off wita the bag. The Mess. cngsr was intimate. with Brewer, aud as the bills known to have been in the bag have since been coming in, certain off cers have kept a sharp eye on him. = Last Friday, the same Messenger, Mr, Writer. come ON here at the request of Brewer. and had several interviews with him. He, (Wit,er.) is supposed 10 have been arrested here yesterday, and taken 10 New Lcndon.
 About a year ago, Mir. Thornlike Rand, then supposed to be worth &l0o, GOO went largely into the Canton apecu. laticn and failed. notwithstanding W which he has been hold speculator ever since. It is aques,ien why l,e was retained by the Bank. when they knew he wss bankrupt stock speculator. After he tailed, Mir. Rand sent in lis resignation, but was asked by the Directors to With. draw it and did so. Mr. Brewer. at the same lims with Mr Rand, went into the Canton stock, was swam ped and supposed to have lost all he pos sessed. tlc: however. Is not known 10 have been engaged iu stock speculation since.
 Neither Brewer nor Rand has had n bad reputation. here. Bsswer has 2 I wife ana one child. Rand has lef. a wife and three children. who are h, great distress at his departure.
 Perhaps .Ee cirenn'siances may all be cleared np. but 1t present they look da. hious. It is supposed that tho charge
 Of larceny is only pretence to hold
 Brewer till something further can be
 Gonnd to explain hls sudden and mysteri.
 oul leave taking or to iMplica,e him iu
 tho Coalsc'isat robbery above alluded to.
