SUICIDE OF YOUNG WIFE.-The New OrleanG
Delta records the suicide of beautiful and inter
eSting young wife III that clty. The name OF The
young woman was MarraDna Low; she was about
sixteen years OF age. About year since she
married man named Low. They lived uuhappi-
ly together, and she has had reason ior believing
that her husband had Ceased to love her or 10 re-
member and respect the vows he made in marriage,
and had transferred his affections to another wo-
man, who resided in the mmediat neigbOrhood.-
Day before yesterday, the young wife Cher husband
having been absent from her for several dayS,( re-
paired to the house of this woman aud inquired If
her husband was not there. She ives answered by
the woman, al don't know anything about your
husband, but there is my husband,'' pointing to
a gentleman seated in the room, i'll whom the
young wife recognised her truant lord. She utterl-
ed not word Of complaint, but returning 10 her
home despatched the servant 10 drug store in
the vicinity for an ounce of laudanum.
She wrote long and extremely pathetic letter,
and then taking laudanum, laid herself down OH
her unhonored bridal couch and died. Yesterday
morning her mother visited the house very carry,
and found her daugl ter dead. She stated, "that
having nothing more 10 live FOL, deserted by him
she luved and robbed of all hopes Of happiness i'll
this world, she prefer red death 10 the miserable
eXiStance which lay open befole her, anu she
calmly and deliberately destroyed her own life by
taking lau,amum. She would not upbraid her
husband; she had ever and still dearly oveu him
-lorgave him all the wrongs she had sune ed at
his hands, through his cruel neglect and deSertiOn.
She hoped, too, that God would forgive him as
she did-and that lie might live long and happily.
The husband came III while the inquest was being
held, aud appeared coed deal affected, and eX-
pressed sorrow for the loss of his youthful and
beautiful wi e; lie, however denied the charges of
intdelity, and neglect made against him by the
letter of his wife, well as by the testimony CT
several witnesses.

1t being rumored, according TO paragraph that
has been going the round OF the newspapers lna'
an immense property i'll England IS about 10 DC III
vided among the CoRBINs of Virginia, descendants
from Miss JENNINGS who int.rnlarrIed WIN u
Corbin, frequent inquiries are addressed to those
supposed 10 be OF that connection. TO satisfy
those seeking such information, so far as IN the
mower of one colateIally connected with II not
ineally descended from the Corbims, the following
renealogy of the Corbin family is furnished; but,
unlucky. not furnishing the d:sideratum OF the
Jennings cOnnexion. which may be revealed IN due
time from some other quarter, 1t being unknown to
the writer.
From the Herald's Office. London, it has been
asceralned that the Corbns of Virginia are de-
scended from Robert Corbin, alias Corbin. (frSt to
seventh year of Henry III the father William;
and from hlm, lineally. by Hamon. WiIlinm
Thomas, William OF birmingham, William OF

the first Robert Corbin,) "b"rn 1894, diSd 1881"
This ''rhomas Corbin was married, l62U, TO n
! daughter of Gawen Grosvenor," (lineal ancestor
to the present Marquis of Westminster,1 "of SUIT
ton Collield, in Warwick county" Their third
son, Henry Corbin, emgrated to Virgimin, settled
IN the county of MiddleSex, and died there, as
sIpposed 1876. Henry Corbin'S daughter Ann
was married to William Taylor, Cor Tayloc Of Vir-
ginia) of London, aud died in Virginia i695.-
| Henry Corbin's son Gavin married Jane, daughter
and CO. heir of John Lane, OF York river, IN Viz
gina. Their eldest son, Richard Corbin, or Lane
vile, in King and Queen county, Va, (FreSIden
of the Kings council and Receiver-General of the
Quit Rents, 1T75,) married Elizabeth, daughter I"
] ohm Tayloe, OF Mount Airy, in Richmond county
Va. She died i'll 1884, leaving the following
children: John Tayloe Cosbin, grand father of the
presert James Park Corbin, esq., of Moses Richaro
Corbn,-Neck, near Fredericksburg, Virginia
Thomas corbin of Lanesville; and Francis Corbin
of the Reeds. in Caroline county, Va.

rest some delusive hopes, i not OF aiding th'
claim, by some descendant of the Corbins TO h,
