BA RBA ROUS MU [IDE R IN LONDON.

A terrible tragedy took place in London early
on Saturday the 15th. A Swiss, named Jacob
Spiess, porter at Beneker's hotel, Finsbury-
squsre,about one o'clock in the morning took to
the hotel an "unfortunate" of the lowest class.
Then he got wine and spirits from the cellar and
they drank. About half-past five o'clock, Mrs.
Beneker was awakened by hearing a crashing of
glass and china. At the foot of the
eta rs lay Spinas. He commenced raving in
German about the devil being down-
stairs. Her cries brought assistance. Spina&
continued to cry out, "The devil is down
there." He ran to his bed-room, and said
"Look here, what I have done to-night." In
the dark a man place his baud upon the bed,
and felt a body. He ran for • policeman
Meanwhile the man cook saw Spinas dragging
something off the bed. He let it fall. When
lights were procured, a horrible sight met the
view. Lying on her back lay the body ot a
woman The features it ere wholly indistinguish•
able, the whole of the face being beaten in by
repeated blows. The long hair IT all twisted and
matted tocether by blood, while her dress was
torn, bloody and disarranged. It seems probable
that while drinking a quarrel arose between
them, and he then attacked her with the bottles
and murdered her. Ile is in custody, and the
coroner's jury have returned a verdict of wilful
murder against him.

where the men had been lodging, and there found
the remaining portions of the ornament, a clardsly
