BRUTAL ATTEMPT TO MURDER AND RoB.-An old
farmer fell in with fellow named Noodle, at the
Niagara Suspension Bridge recently and the latter
obtained his confidence sufficiently to ascertain that
he had sum of money in his possession. While
walking towards the Clifton House, late at night,
Noodle suddenly pushed the old man over high
precpce, expecting that the fall would kill him, SO
that his pockets would be rifed at leisure. The
farmer fell into the top of tree, and reached the
ground with his clothes pretty well stripped off, re-
ceving quite number Of bruises, besides having two
ribs broken. He then groped his way to the ferry,
and ascended the road to the Clifton House, where,
after his necessities had been attended to- he related
all the circumstances Of his adventure Noodle was
found to have decarnped, for the runlor speedily
reached him. The old man retained his money, but
lost confidence in casual acquaintance.

store and search had been instituted, resulting in
the discovery of nothing but solid rock. But the
statement so preyed upon the mind of the merchant
that he hung himself as stated.

FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2s, 1857.
Talk on Change.

The talk yesterday was, what are the banks going
to do? Well, we might say what they are going to
do. They are going to save their charters, partcu
ary the old chartered banks 1t useless for people
to be talking about our banks voluntarily suspendng
The banks of New York suspended to prevent the
foreign banking houses from draining them of every
dollar of gold. These houses and agents drew five
millions Of dollars on the 18th inst This gold was
undoubtedly drawn for future purposes, say for in.
stance to be sent South to purchase sterling exchange
at 80 to 95, below These foreign bankers are up
to all financial schemes, and by getting gold from the
New York banks, saves the expense of bringing it
from Europe. There no two ways about this ques
ton. Mr.. Bull must have cotton in December at
price another. 1t is use to mince the matter.
It is just as much question Of life and death with
Lancashire as that the earth will revolve round the
sun the present twenty-four hours. Some Bears in
cotton say something about India. We should sup
pose the least said about India the better at this
ment.
If the growers of cotton in Louisiana and Missis-
sipp are willing to send their cotton to market and
have it butchered, we cannot help it. We will not
believe that there is such amount Of money to be
paid in this city before the lst of December. Every
planter s however, bound to place his agent in funds
at some rate or another.
The telegraphc dispatches of last evening had a
flaming heading of the arrival of the steamers North
Star and Kangaroo at New York, and no specie
coming Now, this is another Of those dispatches
which has caused so much trouble in our community.
Who expected that either of these two steamers
would bring any specie Let us know, Mr.. Opera
tor, as we have two days later advices, say up to
the 10th of October, and specie was expected to
come only by the steamers of the 14th and l7th If
they do not bring any, then, Mr. Operator, you can
exclaim, :" No specie;'' but do not give the public
any more of your nonsense. We have had a surfeit
of that for about four weeks.
The Northern mail failed yesterday. OF course, the
chronic failure takes place to-day, though possibly
the Asias mails may come through.

The CApIroL.-The work upon the new dome of
the capitol is going on and from present appearances
we shall soon see the first range or drum of pillars
standing upon their foundations; We could wish,
however, that the work upon the dome might be
stopt until the meeting of Congress. Not that we do
not desire to see the dome reared but because we
hope the next Congress will order the center build
ing or old capitol to be raised another story twenty
i've or thirty feet higher. We think this would give
the WHOLE but especially that building more noble
appearance. At present it has squat look, which
is the reverse of grand Its owness has always been
r defect but now that the two wings are added, the
length upon the ground, of the whole pile is too
great for the height of the center building.
Other improvements are necessary, namely: to
clear away tho trees, most of them, on the east
side of the capitol and to cut down the ground to a
level that there shall be descent towards the
building. Until this is done that splendid and costly
edifce, worthy of the nation, will never have the
lofty and beautiful appearance it is capable OF having
Set the dome the center building as it is now and
it will look like pyramid of ice cream upon white
dish The idea Of grandeur is given more by just
proportions than by argeness of size. Nothing can
| be beautiful that is not duly proportioned.

DIRECT TRADE-We saw yesterday, says the
Vcksburg True Southron of the 2lst, letter from
the eminent house of Cuddy, Brown Il Co., of New
Orleans to ofther correspondents in this county,
proposing to send cargo Of cotton direct to Liver
pool, for account Of the producers. We understand
that Mr. Shepherd Brown, the head of the house. pro-
poses to go to Liverpool himself for the purpose of
experimenting the sales of cotton shipped by his rm
This is a move in the right direction, and we hear
that quite number of planters who are out of debt,
are entering eagerly into the proposed arrangement
1t will pay unquestionably. A shipment from New
Orleans, within any reasonable time, will find the
Liverpool market almost bare of American cottons,
and the cargo will assuredy meet readysale at good
prices. This is but the beginning of the end. Our
planters and merchants will learn little gumption
by and bye.
