ATTEMPT TO MURDER THREE CHILDREN.—The neighbourhood of the Hampstead-road, London, has been thrown into a state of painful excitement in consequence of a woman, named Chapman, having committed suicide after having attempted the lives of her children. She had been married about six years to a stonemason, and lived at No. 19, Henry-street. She had three children, of the respective ages of 41 years, 21 years, and 1 year. For the last fortnight she had been in want of almost the common necessaries of life, in consequence of her husband having been out of work for some months, and had asked her landlady to procure for her a letter for the hospital. On Saturday last a letter was procured, and a lady called at the house with it. Upon knocking at the door of the room inhabited by the wretched woman no answer was given, but a low groan was heard within. The door was then forced open and the lifeless body discovered stretched upon a bed ; the face was black and the eyes almost forced out of the head from strangulation, caused by two pocket handkerchiefs tied tightly round the throat. The youngest child was hanging at the breast of the mother, and on the bed were the other two chiidren, almost dead, each of them having a pocket tied round their necks. The pockets were immediately removed, medical aid was procured, and the eldest of the children conveyed to the University Hospital. The mother was quite dead ; a wet towel had been tied round the throat of the youngest child, but providentially the knot had slipped, and no injury was inflicted upon the infant. The husband, on the morning of the day in which his wife had destroyed herself,' had left home for work. Her age was only 25 years.  Aug. 7, 1141,  eat": MR.

On looking farther, she discovered her eldest son dead in the beJ, but could not perceive any trace of her infant child, who was, however, shortly afterwards discovered to have been drowned in the rain butt. There is no doubt whatever but that the unfortunate father proceeded to the garden instantly on leaving his bed-room, and h•wing drowned the child, then ascended to the children's room, where he afterwards perpetrated the other murder, committing suicide the moment an alarm was raised. As no vital organ has b-en severed, hopes are entertained that the younger boy's life will be saved. There seems to be little doubt that, owing to their privations, temoorary  nsanity was the immediate cause of this shocking affair, as  his pecuniary emharrasso:ents had for some weeks pas induced great depression of spirits.
