LONDON MARKETS.

CarroN.—The reduction of price which was submitted to
last week occasioned considerable sales ; when the parties
were supplied, the market feturned to its former state. There
is now a complete stagnation of trade, the purchases of the
week not exceeding 200 packages. From Liverpool and Man-
chester the accounts 'received to-day are most distressing
riots spreading in the manufacturing districts, and, the natural
consequences, the complete suspension of business. The sales at
Liverpool of Cotton, on Wednesday last, about four hundred bags,

SHOCKIXO CASE OF SUICIDE.

This week the most extraordinary sensation has
prevailed amongst the inhabitants of Barbican and
its neighbourhood, from . a report being circulated .
that a murder had, been perpetrated at a house
in Red-cross-court, on a young female, by her
husband, to whom she bad been but, a year or two
united. About 11 o'clock on last Sunday morning,
repeated cries of murder were heard from a house in
Red-cross-court, occupied by a taylor of the name of :'
Hudson. Many of the neighbours rushed to the
house, burst open the street-door, and searched all
the rooms, but no person seen, a man named Tongs
descended to the cellar where he found the landlord of
the house (Hudson) leaning over the corpse of his ',,,.
wife, who was lying on the ground with a cord fastened
round her neck. He now appeared quite stupified,
and was kneeling close to the body of his wife, with a
piece of cord in his right hand, one end of which
was attached to a hook in the wall. TOngs, on his
entering the cellar, appealed to Hudson for an ex-
planation of the extraordinary scene before him,
and earnestly inquired how his wife had been
deprived of her existence ? And what was the mean-
ing of the cry of " Murder" taking place ?—'
Hudson said, that having missed his wife, he made
every search for her through the house, and at length
he found her suspended in the cellar by a cord from
the roof, and that he, in his alarm, not having a
knife, hung with all his strength to the rope, and by;
that means succeeded in severing it ; and that it wag.
he that had called out " murder," as he wished for.
assistance. Tongs, with the help of some of the
neighbours, carried the body of the unfortunate crew"
ture up stairs, and a medical man was sent for, wild"
soon arrived, and did every thing in his power to re
store animation, but without effect.
In less than an hour after the shocking occurrence,
the report that the deceased had been barbarously
murdered by her husband 'spread far and wide, which
report was strengthened by its being notorious that
such was his barbarous treatment of her, that she had
been known to he obliged to keep her bed for days,
owing to the injuries he had caused her—that he had ,
been often heard to exclaim that he would yet be the
death of her. In addition to these circumstances, about
an hour before the cries of murder were heard, the
deceased was met in the street by a Mrs. Haw
mond.; she had then, a tremendous black eye, and her
face and arms were one mass of bruises. Mrs. Ham"
mond asked her how she came by the injuries ? wile"
she said, " Oh, that brute of a husband of mine ill-
used me on Wednesday night ; whilst I was in bed'
he jumped upon me in the most ferocious manner,
and swore that he would have my life." The de-
ceased went on to detail the cruel treatment she was
continually experiencing from her, husband. In about;
an hour after this, the deceased was discovered dead
in the cellar as above described. Many of the neigh;
bouts, who had heard the cry of murder, declared that
the voice was that of the deceased, and not that of her

husband.
From what we have been able to learn, the de-
ceased was of good connexions, but about two yeall
ago she unfortunately became acquainted with 14114-
son, which terminated in their union. When she.,
first became known to him, she lived in the family otre
retted
Mr. Carter, a respectable tradesman in Barbican, whe,
she was much beloved, and her leaving was regretted
by all the family.
