MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.— On the evening of Saturday
last the proprietor of an hotel situated in one of the
most fashionable quarters of this city, lodged infortnai
tion at the central police-office, that a young lady ha
just committed suicide in his house. Lieutenant Robb
was instantly despatched to the hotel, in one of the
bed-rooms of which he found a woman, apparently
nearly thirty years of age, in her night-dress, suspended
by the neck with a cord from the window-shutter,
quite dead. The mode- in which the fatal act ha,
been accomplished was by unfastening the cord of tll
window blind, supplementing it with her boot an
staylace, fastening the end to the knob of the shutterj
and passing it over the shutter at the top. She ha
stood on the windowsill, and, with the shutter partially
closet), put her neck into a noose, thrown her feet offs
and thus effected her purpose. It appears that she caul°
.
to reside at the hotel on Monday last, since which tits°
she had been complaioing and pretty much confined to
bed, but had occupied a good deal of her time in writing'
She was last seen alive by one of the servant girls of
the house on Saturday, about mid-day. The swae
girl, on going into her room with a letter about 3 o'clocl'
in the afternoon, found her in the position already
described. She had brought no luggage along with her
beyond her articles of wearing apparel, and an orgy
mental Fiench fruit-box. This latter contained a fecv,
trifling articles, and a number of letters, which lea
to her being identified as Jessie Lauder, whose family
resides in Edinburgh, to which city she apparently
belongs. The melancholy act appears to have been
the result of disappointed love, and to have been
deliberately premediated. She must have been elr
gaged for the last day or two in writing parting let'
ter. to relatives and friends, all couched in the Ws
affectionate and endearing terms. These display an iris'
tensity of feeling, and, at the same time, a philosophy
under the most poignant sorrow, that is almost We:
concileable with the desperate issue. One letter is 10i;
dressed to a young man, who appears to occull
situation in the Customs in a neighbouring seaport'
whom she frequently addresses by the endearia
appellations of "My own Jem," and "My dellr
husband." She asks him to abstain from drinls
iog, to come t, Glasgow to receive her body, ailo
also to lay her head in the grave. She appears w
have written to her lover a few days previously, and the
letter which the servant girl took up to deceased's roo:
when she found her dead was an answer to it. 11.,
apologises for delay in writing to her, ascribes this ""t,
lay to her letter having been mis-sent to a town thre.
miles distant from his proper address, and in proof of 1,,t
he enclosed the envelope, marked "Mis-sent to
Lieutenant Robb took possession of the property of
deceased, and immediately inti Mated the melanchle
fact to her father and to the young man to who'll 9.4
seems to have been so deeply attached.—North Brit"
