THE MOTHER.— On Wednesday and yesterday considerable sensation was caused in the vicinity of Victoria-park, Hackney, in consequence of the suicide of a respectably dressed female named Elizabeth Chamberlain, aged 30 years, who destroyed the life of her infant son, aged three months, by drowning, under the following painful circumstances. It seems that the deceased was the wife of a chemist's assistant, residing at 36, Brunswick-street, Hackneyroad, and for some time past they had lived on unhappy terms, frequently quarrelling relative to their domes is affairs. On Tuesday last they had words, and the deceased in a moment of excitement seized a knife, and attempted to cut her throat. She was prevented from committing the act, and subsequently another quarrel ensued, and the deceased said to her husband, "There are two children ; I will take one, and you can take the other" She left home on Wednesday about dinner-time, and between one and two o'clock she was seen to bo walking in the enclosure of Victoria Park with the infant in her arms. Shortly after Presto, one of the park-keepers, was Old by two young mee that a young woman Ilea ju t leaped into the water. Tue constable ran to the water, where he saw the body of a female floating face down wards, and immediately rushed into the water, and succeeded in getting her on to the bank, when she was found to be dead. Yesterday morning, the husband, hearing of the circumstance, proceeded to the ti- adhouse, and identified the deceased as his wife, and at the same moment he exclaimed, " Where is my chihl 1" He was informed that the infant had not been seen, when by his desire the constables connected with the park procured the drags, and repaired to the pond, and after a short time they succeeded in finding the body of the infant. A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult., in the Debats, says :—" Political matters are now cast into the background by the immense commercial calamities of which all classes in Prussia, without exception, feel the deplorable effects. The capital in particular Las seen large fortunes, which were believed to be solidly established, unable to resist the crisis. It would be difficult, to euregister exactly, owing to their great number, the bankruptcies which take place daily in Berlin and in the provinces amongst traders of the first and second rank ; the wheat, oil, and spirit trades, are particularly affected. Prices of these articles, having fallen from day to day, are now only nominal, and it would be impossible to sell any important quantities of them in any town of Pi ussia for ready money. The banks and their branches, and capitalists, use the greatest precaution iu their discounts, and the consequence is a scarcity of specie which is extremely injurious to trade."
