SUIcIDE.--Mr John Wallace, who formerly re-
sided in this city, and was a member Of the late
firm Of Hall 4 Brothers, committed suicide at his
homein Montgomery county, Maryland, on Thurs
day afternoon.
The firm, of which he was a member, had lately
suspended business in consequence of the severe
money pressure, and 1t was supposed that he was
suffering under an alteration of mind on account
of the pecuniary losses thereby entaled upon him.
The death Of Mr.. Isaac Hall, another member Of
the same firm, was announced but short time ago,
and IL seems to have been doubly afflicted by these
distressing deaths oftwo members.
