It appears that a young woman named Annie Yeats has for some tine ma tupied a b tck room on the first floor at No. 12, Burton Crescent. She went oil as usual on S aturday night with another women E lis, who resides at the came address, but pa, ted from her in the streets at one o'clock on Sunday iit Thing. Yeats was heard t 3 return to the house shot,, After 2 am,, and it is supp mad that she was accompanied by a man; but, so tar as is at prsstant known, no one saw he • cuter, B•tweon two and three o'clock other occupsnts of the house heard a noise in her r.totn, as it she was in a hysterical fit, but no notice was taken of the matter, and nothing was seen of the young woman until a quarter to one in the afteraoon, when the nrrson Edo went to the mous to speak to Yeats, aid found the door partly open. She entered and found a lamp still boning on a chest of dr, cc,. The latter had ...vid.ntly boeu opeaed and ttaelted, but otaerwise tim room tlid not apowae to have been much disturbs I. Ellis looked towa,tds thejbed, but could only see her companion's boots protruding from heneath the b.,cl clothes. She ?annoyed the latter, and then, to her horror, tbsc ormed th noly of Yenta, with a towel tied tightay over her mouth and firmly fastened behind the neck. Tnere was a , errible gash on the left able of the bead above the ear, aud the face wt.s covered ' with blood. WM raised an alarm, and a medical man  shortly arrived, and pronounced life extinct, and that death bad been caused by strangulation. The police were at once communicated with, and Inspector Irackford immediately proceeded to make an investigation of the circumstances. It was ascertained that a lady's gold ring was missing, but a sum of money was found in the room. There is no doubt in the minds of the police that the woman has been murdered, The deceased was about 23 years of age, and bad occupied her apartments for two months. She is epoken of as being a very quiet person, and nothing unusual was noticed about her before she left her loigings, in company with her companion, Annie Ellis, on Saturday evening. The Idea, therefore, that she may have committed suicide is sonsidered to he out of the question. The two women parted company very early on Sunday more.ing, and at that time it is stated that the deceased was the worse for drink. She was shortly at ter* ards seen talking to a man in the Euston-road, but she went home so quietly, going direct to her room, that it is not at preimut known whether the man referred to or anyone else at that time was with her. The wound upon the deceased's head, it is alleged, may have been inflicted by a fall against the chest of drawers or the bedstead.

Tim clerk said that would be ad right, ani the man retired. The clerk told a party of young men boarders of the singular request of the guest, and they thought it very origin el. Tuoy went out to the theatre and got full of wine, and when they pulsed the sleeping gueet'a room at one o'clock in tue morning, and saw the rope hen 4ing over the transom, they thought it would be no more than right to see how the new idea would work, so four of them took hold of the rope and began to pull. They heard a heavy body seem to be walking over the foot board of the bed on its back, heard enema rip aril night-shirt tear, and they kept pulling, and a heavy body struck the floor, and a voice began to swear and yell murder end fire, and they pulled away, until the heavy body gowned to be climbing up the door feet first on the inside, and the Voice Bili i ell right, I am up, but they kept polling unti: one le?. of a neon Mite over the transom, and the other wee kicging the door, and the v ici was using len? nage that was not aimissahle. in polit s ociety. Tne rums men then tied the rope to the door-knob and retired to their rooms, leaving the man hanging head down with one leg out in thee hell. The man yelled until the watchman came, and he thought it was a cis,. of suicide, Bud he cut the rope, and the heavy body fell to the door, wh-n the clerks and manamr or the house, and several of the purtera, were called, aid they burst in the door and found a ba ily used up guest, grabbling at blankets and shoots to cover himself, and swearing his back was broken from sliding over the foot-boards An explanation wits had, and it was generally believed the tipsy young men had done the deed, but when they were ceded they were asleep, and the next morning they claimed they had retired as usual at nine o'clock in the evening, and they were innocent of anything on earth. The guest remained up until five o'clock, and used arnica and things, gave the rope to the porter, and said after this they could pound on his door and wake the whole house if they wanted to. A young man and a female ODC) stopped at a country tavern. Their awkward appearance excited the attention of one of the family, who commenced a conversation with the female, by inquiring how far she had travelled.
