MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE OF A FEMALE

IN LIVERPOOL.

About six months ago, an unknown lady from London
opened a shop in Cases-street, Liverpool, for the sale of
tobacco and cigars. She was somewhat good-looking,
and her amiable deportment soon made her a general fa-
vourite with her neighbours, among the most inquisitive
of whom, however, nothing could be learned as to her
antecedents. She represented herself to be a married
woman, and gave her name as Mrs. Crown, to which
address many letters came by the post. About a fort-
night ago, it was observed with regret that she had begun
to indulge in drink, and a moody melancholy seemed to
have settled on her mind. In the meantime she had
parted with her little servant maid, so that she was left
alone in her dwelling. She got an humble but respectable
married woman in the same street to come and assist her
occasionally in cleaning the house, and to this person she
at times revealed a sentiment or two contained in the letters
she was in the habit of receiving, which, she said, were
from her husband, who was a commercial traveller. On
Sunday morning Mrs. Crown had her shop opened as
usual, and about one o'clock she requested the neighbour,
to whom we have referred, to bring her a noggin of gin,
remarking, when it was brought, that she should " drink
that at least, though she might never drink any more."
At three o'clock Mrs. Crown was again seen by her
neighbour, and up to this time she had taken no dinner,
although some beefstakes had been prepared for the pur-
pTse. In the morning it was observed that :she had re-
ceived a letter by the post, and after its receipt she did
not appear to be in very high spirits. About five o'clock
her neighbour's little boy wandered into the shop, and
seeing that the mistress was not present, he sat down on
a chair outside of the counter. Some time elapsed, and
still the lady did not appear ; and, as he had found the
shop door wide open on his entrance, he thought some-
thing must be wrong, and alarmed his mother. The
two immediately instituted a search, extending over the
whole dwelling, from the cellar to the garret, and on the
narrow stair leading to the latter the little boy stumbled
upon what to him seemed the body of a woman. His
cries brought the child's mother to the spot, and she ran
for her husband, who in turn called a police officer from
the street. On their proceeding to the garret staircase,
the unfortunate woman was found in a sitting posture,
near the top of the flight, . suspended by the neck
from a cord fixed to a balustrade, immediately
overhead. When found, the body was perfectly cord,
and life quite extinct. The deceased had told some
of her neighbours only recently that she was twenty-five
Sears of age. A large collection of letters have been found
in the house by the police authorities, but it would appear
that the decease], previous to the commission of the rash
act, destroyed all those portions of them which might
have afforded a clue to the whereabonts of her mysterious
correspondent, who never was known by any of the
neighbours to make a personal visit. None of the
envelopes could be found, and the letters are neither
dated nnr subscribed in the usual form. They are
intelligently and even well written, and are generally
signed, " yours affectionately. Will," or "yours very
truly, William F." An inquest will be held on the body
of the unfortunate woman this day (Tuesday).

THE LECTURE ON MILTON, as part of a course on Pro-
testant Nonconformists, is to be delivered by the Rev. Wm.
Graham, at the Concert-hall, this evening (Tuesday.)

SINGULAR EXHIBITION AT ST. ANNE'S CHURCH,
OLD SWAN.—A correspondent informs us that, on Sun-
day forenoon, three or four Irishmen entered the church
just previous to the commencement of Divine service,
and under the impress!on that they were in a Romish
mass-house, approached the communion rails in front of
the communion table and commenced a series of ex-
ternal evidences of devotion, anythiangodmberhuaat,n.ugareatbiofyyi)n:e
