MORE ASSAISSINATION.—Accounts reached town this morning of the assassination yesterday afternoon of the Rev John Lloyd. The rev. gentleman was rector of Anghrim, and read service yesterday ax usual in his church. On his return home he was shot not far from the church. The Rev. Mr. Lloyd was a small proprietor, but was understood to have considerable money wealth. He was very unpopular in his district. A correspondent of the Moil thus announces this frightful outrage : —Mr. Lloyd was accosted on his way by a man, who walked up to the reverend gentleman, and coolly informed him that he had not long t 011,,. Mr. Lloyd said he wee not aware of ever having injured any one. " 410 h, yea, (responded the assassin) you have dispossessed a tenant on the Leitrim estate ;" and then pulling a short gun from under his coat, lodged the contents in the victim's body, who expired shortly afterwards. Another murder was committed in the district of Island. eady, Mayo, one of the most afflicted of that county. The account I have from a private source, but which I am sure may be relied upon. The victim is a person named O'Donnell? a bailiff in the service of the Earl of Lucan, on whew business the unhappy man was engaged at the time of his murder. O'Donnell has recently been brought much into collision with Lord Lucan's tenantry. His lordship's agent, it is understood, has been served with a threatening notice.  BANI DlPi__ munication in the Pilot of this day, I take the following : "A complaint was preferred by one of the officers of the branch bank against a junior officer of the establishment for general insubordination and insolence of manner. An inspector was sent from Dublin to investigate the charge. In the course of the inquiry some circumstances transpired which led to a strict scrutiny of the books, &c. &c., and you may judge of the astonishment of the bank officer when he found that frauds had been committed with impunity for the last four years to en incalculable amount by one of the officials, who has since absconded, and for whose apprehension a warrant has heed placed in the hands of the local authorities. All the officers have been dismissed, with the exception of the sub-manager, who, it is believed, has been instrumental in bringing the matter to light. It is said that several persona have been seriously compromised by the parties implicated having been in the habit of accepting bills, &c., for accommodation'-uthe. There is no knowing where it will end, as several persona who had made lodgments with one of the officers found oa inqairy that not a penny had been placed to their credit. All the books of the establishment have been carried to Dublin by the bank officers and you may form an idea of the magnitude of the mistakes, deMencies, sad errors, when a new set of books have been ordered for the Ballinadoe branch, a thing unprecedented in the annals of banking." Summit is Dontia.—Mr. Wall, cashier in the house of Richard Williams, banker and stockbroker, 32, Dame-street, committed suicide this afternoon about 3 o'clock. Mr. Wall continued to transact business as usual up to that hour, when he retired to the water-closet, where, shortly after, he was found with his throat cut almost from ear to ear. Such is the story which has reached me. An inquest is now holding on the body, when probably something may transpire as to the motives which may have prompted the unhappy gentleman.  .1 con
