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 explanation of the extraordinary scene before him, and earnestly inquired how his wife had been deprived of her existence ? And what was the meaning 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 illused 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 deceased 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 deceased was of good connexions, but about two yeall ago she unfortunately became acquainted with 14114son, 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.
