His extravagance seemed to have no bounds. We hear the names of Wadsworth, Palmer & Co., Samuel Harrison, and — Foster, a broker, of Richmond, as among the victimized. Parties in Wilmington also suffered. Decie is supposed to have gone to England. He left fifteen or twenty negroes, farm furniture, etc., which have been stretched for the benefit of the sufferers. Other acts will no doubt be developed of this mammoth swindle. "

Robbery and Attempted Assassination. --A most diabolical attempt was made to rob and murder on Thursday night last, Mrs. Rebecca Disner, a very worthy and respectable old lady, residing in Chesterfield county, about one mile and a half from Manchester.

Mrs. D., thinking the design of the ruffians was to murder her if the emergency required it, entreated them to spare her life, promising if they would do so to remain perfectly quiet. After this one of them stood by the bed in which she was, while the other deliberately went to work and forced open her bureau drawers, scattering
