Froi a Boston Pupt r. MoSTlEfTlSCIIOlA- DoUBLE SuiCIDE. Yestcrterdav morning the bodies of Mr. John Carter and Miss Mary Bradlee were found suspended in the first chamber rf father's (Mr. Samuel JBradlde's) store on Washington street. They w ere hanging each in a hankcrchi jf, tied to the same rope, and fastened to the hook of a scale beam. They had mounted on two chairs, and it appears that Miss II. being shorter than Mr. C. thev placed a box 0:1 hoi chair to elevate her to

his height. It would seem that they had ernbra-n

ced each other, and then pushed away the support, as they were found hanging in close coatoct. face to face. Mr. Carter served his apprenticeshp with Mr. Bradlce; and left him about three yvnrs since for New Orleans, where he entered into business. Mr.Bradlee wrote tohim,sr;rretirr.c lat summer, requesting him to return and 'enter his store as an assistant in his business, offering him favorable terms. Mr. Carter returned, took his post and renewed a former intimacy w ith the daughter, to whom he was generally admitted to be betrofhec1, ard permitted to visit and accompany her according! v. Mr. Bradlce desired to reLrc

from business. Mr. Carter entered into an unsuccessful negociation to purchase 'stock and stand,'1 with a view to immediate marriage. Not being able to accomplish his wishes, be resolved to return to New Orleans and renew his business there. Miss Bradlce w as anxious to accompany him, but her parents refused their consent. The lovers were rendered mutually unhappy and in an hour of madness resolved to terminate their existence. The result we have told. They left Mr. Bradlee's house yesterday afternoon, under pretence of going to Trinity Church. Their parents worshiped at Mr. l'ierpont's. No alarm was felt for the absence of Miss Bradlee. as she was in the habit of accompanying Mr. Carter to his father's house, and often remained there over night with his sister. There are duplicate keys to the store, one of which Mr. Cr rter used. When the lad, whose duty it was to open the ftore. went there this morning, he found that by inserting his own key, he had knocked out the other, which was on the inside. On entering the store he found Mr. Carter's cloak on the counter, and thought all was not right, but did not go into the chamber where the bodies were found, until some time after. Mr. Carter left two letters, one directed to his father, other to Mr. Bradlce; Miss Bradlce left one directed in her father, and all three were enclosed in one package. Mr. Bradlee is truly a bereaved and heart broken man. But a short lime since, his son and partner died of consumption ; and last summer he lost another child, by the parting of a w h tl tire, as she was looking out of a carriage window in which they were returning from the country. A coroner's jury was immediately summoned and an inquest held upon the bodies of the deceased. Their verdict was that liiey came to their death by hanging themselves bv the neck,

by mutual agreement. We learn from one of

our carriers that about one o clock vesteiday

morning, he heard rs lie was passing the store of

Mr. Lradlce, the sound of oices within, and saw a light in the second story of the stoic.

might loiter behmd the rest. She, however, was the first to ballanct her vessel of water on her head, and to take the path to the village, whither all the gossips scon followed her. What was now to he done? He was determined to go

through ihc ordeal cor.sumate the hellish crime. A cJ'ihi went by the fountain whistling. He

laid down his rifle, so as not to alarm the little villager ; and presenting himself to him, gave him the reliquary he had worn round his neck for vears. and which v. as well known to his mistress,

"and tell her an old friend desired to speak with

her at the fountain. The child took the reliquary and a piece of silver which the robber gave on his vowing by the Madonna to say nothing about flie matter in the village before one hour of the night, and ran on to the village. The robber thr-n retired behind the old fountain, taking his r'flc in his hand and keeping a sharp look out, lest his mistress should betray him, or not come alone. But the affectionate girl who might have loved him stiil in spite of guilt, who might have hoped to have rendered him succor on some urgent need, or perhaps, to hear that he was peni

tent ard iinxious to return to societv, went alone

and met him at the fountain, where as the bells

of the village church were tolling the Ave Maria, her lover met her, and t tabbed her to the heart!

The monster hen cut off her head and ran away

with it to join the brigands, who were obliged to own, that after such a deed and such a proof as

he produced he was worthy to be their ctuel.

Tge Boston Suicidh. The Boston papers received this morning, contain a few additional

particulars respecting the melancholy suicide,of

which an account was pubhjhcd last evening. It appears that in the letter w hich Carter left directed to Mr. Bradlee, "he stated that he had been unfortunate, that he was tired of the world, and took this mode of leaving it; that he w ished his friends would forgive him and her. and that it was her request that both might be buried together in Mr. B's tomb, under Trinity Church."' In Mii-s Bradlee's trunk at home, was also found a letter in her own hand writing, in which she

thanked her parents for all their kindness, and asked forgiveness of them for this last act of leaving them in this manner. The Boston Centinel adds, that "within a fewweeks Carter had received "2500 on some real estate w hich he owned, and he immediately lost it, as he said, in Boston, in some ?p'cu!c;f:m, which he had declined giving any account of to Mr. Bradlee or to any of his friends, though he acknowledged that he had lost it, and was requsted to state in what manner. We have heard some additional verbal rumors one of which is that Carter had squandered money not his own at New Orleans. Ot'Miss Bradlee, the best account is given. Her reputation was unblemished, and her mind was any thing but romantic. No doubt she has been persuaded to thehoiilde act by him in whose guilty arms ehe perished. THE BANDIT S TEST. A young man. who had been several years an out-law, on the. violent death of their chief of the troop he belonged to, aspired to be Capobandito in his stead. He had gone through his noviciate with honour, he had shown both cunning and courage in his calling as brigand, but the supremacy of the band was disputed with hi:n by others, and the state of the times bade the robbers be especially careful as to whom thev elected for their leader. He must be the strongest nerved fellow ofthc set! The ambitious candidate otic red to give any, even the most dreadful proof of his strength of nerve; and a monster among his companions proposed he should go to his native, village and murder a young girl, to whom he had formally be;?n attached. 1 will do it,' said the rufiian,who at once departed on his infernal mission. Wh.cn he reached the village, he dared not to present himself, having begun his crimes there bv murdering a comrade; he

skulked behind an old stone fountain, outside of

the village, until ner sunset, when the women

come .forth w ii.h their copper vases on their heads

to get their supplies ol water at the iountam. His mistress came carelessly gossiping with the rest. He could have shot her with his rifle, but

he was afraid of pursuit, and wanted besides,

time to secure and carry otFa bloody trophy. He therefore remained quiet, only hoping that she

At $2 per annum payable in advance. Enlargement and Improvement.

THE PUBLISHERS OF THE SATURDAY COURIER, gratefully acknowledge the extensive and unexampled patronage which they hdve received. Scarcely eighteen months have passed since the commencement of their paper, and their li:t of subscribers now exceeds 11,0( 0, a fact which sufficiently attests the high standing which the Courier enjoys in public estimation. The plan of the Saturday Courier is so comprehet sive as to embrace every variety cf topics which caa be introduced into a Public Journal. Literature, Science, the Arts, Foreign and Domestic News. Police Reports, Sporting Intelligence, a Register of passin events, Commentaries on New Publications, Dramatic Criticisms, and ether subjects, receive a constant ."nd sedulous attention; and the Publishers do not hesitate

! to assert that in the interest, novelty, appropriateness,

diversity and general excellence of its contents, the Courier may fairly claim precedence over any similar publication. The literary department of the paper is supplied by original contributions from the best and most distinguished American writers; and selections carefully and judiciously made from the whole range of English periodical literature. Whatever can be obtained .w hether at home or abroad, calculated to amuse, interest, or struct, provided it be suitable, is procured and published, without reference to expense or trouble. In furnishing news, foreign or domestic, the Publishers of the Saturday Courier have very greet edvantages, and they confidently appeal to the pat perience of their patrons to sustain them in S'yirj that they have generally been, in this respect, in aiirnace of thv;ir weekly contemporaries.
