LONDON TRAGEDY. MURDER OF A WOMAN.-XYBTERIOUS DISAPPRARASCH.  A shocking murder has been committed at 33, Whitfield-street, Tottenham-court-road, on the borderland of the West-end of London. A woman lived there with a Frenchman named Paul Acheton. They retired to rest on Saturday night, but nothing being heard of them on the following day the pobce were summoned, and the door of their room was burst open. The woman was then lying dead, and in a terribly battered state, being bmised from head to foot. Dr. Lloyd, the divisional police surgeon, on being called declared that death had undoubtedly been due to violence. Suspicion at once fell on the woman's paramour, who had absconded leaving a note behind acknowledging that he had committed the murder and that his body would be found in the Thames. _ .  The police have issued the following description of the man: Age, 28; height, sft. Bio. or 9in.; complexion fair; eyes dark; and long fair moustache. He wore a grey jacket, striped trousers, and light brown hat. He speaks English fluently, and he is frequently with loose women. Another account says For some time pasta French couple nick-named respectively "Le Petit Paul" and La Casquette, have occupied a room in Whitfieldstreet mentioned. The woman has latterly been suffering from paralysis, and was obliged to keep to her bed. The neighbours not hearing any sounds from the room occupied by the couple, suspected that all was not right. Proceeding to the room they pushed open the door, when the woman VMS discovered on the bed with her head battered in. The bed and bedding were saturated with blood. The Exchange Telegraph Company stays It appears that the neighbours bad noticed that a foreign woman and her child who resided in the street had not appeared as initial lately. Inquiries were made which led to the doors of the apartments being broken open, and it was discovered that the woman was dead, with her head battered and otherwise shockingly disfigured. The Press Association says The body of the murdered woman has been removed to the district mortuary. The police authorities are disposed to believe that the man may have carried out the threat contained in the note found in the murdered woman s room, and committed suicide.  Tun Dowager Countess of Suffolk died on Saturday night at her residence, The Cottage, Charlton, after & few days' illness, of pneumonia. 2, their last meeting the attention of the General Committee of the Marlborough Club in London was called to statements which appeared in certain sewspapers about the Bth of June, to the effect that the election of Mr. Arthur Stanley Wilson had taken place on Thursday, 4th June, and that the Prince of Wales was" the nominator."
