4 U7fe yNnrdergd ia .Nsc York-We learn from the New York papers, that on Sunday morning, young German, named Wnl. .Leitzer, murdered his wife, fred the bed on which she laY, and went of for a while, thinking, no doubt, he would avoid detection. He kept a sort of merchant tai- Ior's establishment in Broadway, adjoining the Broadway House, and lived ln the back part of the store, which was divided from the front by a curtain.

 sIhe alarm of fire was sounded about half past six o'clock, and the neighbors, in con nection with officers Freeman and Relyea, and Juatice 1IatselI, forced in the rear door, The fire was extinguished, and the unhappy wife discovered lying on q lot af feathers, the bedstead and bed tick having been con- sumed) pillow over her face and breast, and she perfectly dead-a portion of her limbs being so much burnt that the bones lay perfectly bare. Herself and husband, It appears, have lived for long time unhappl- Iy, and the monster in human shape has talk en this mode, apparently, to get rd of her. It is evident that he first snlothered her with the pillow, then set to work, by the destruc- ton of the building and the victim, to con- ceal all traces of his crime. They are both young. lie appears to be about twenty-six years of age, and Is an uncommonly fine looking young man. His hair and whlskeTs (of which he has 9 luxuriant quantity are of the faxen or golden kind-his features are extremely even, and he Is tall ard well made. His person was greatly set off during the inquest by handsome plaid sash, neg ligently thrown round his neck, showing he had a great regard for appearance. The un- happy young wife, as she lay. presented a melancholy, though deeply interesting and strange picture. She seems to have been un- commonly good-lool1ing, and of petit, ele- gant make. The pillow used for her de- struction covered her breast and face, pre- tected 1t from the fire-the rest uas black ened mass, and the contrast was striking in i the extreme. lever was more perfect specimen of finished and beautiful outline i than her face and chest--neyer a more shock ing one than that presented by her cindered limbs. i canister which had contained sPi- Tit gas Iav near the bed, and 1t Is supposed that the wretch threw the. gas. over the body i of the deceased after he had murdered her, so that 1t might readily ignite. Pieces ol cloth and conbustibIe matter were found un- der the feet of the murdered woman, and two holes in the floor, showing an appear anee of the fires having been kindled under each side of the foot of the bedstead or cot. Leitzer seemed very calm during the inquest. He was attended, as counsel, by Mr. Thom- as Warner

 The verdict of the jury was, ''that Ann Leitzer came to her death by being wilfuIly and leloniousIy suffocated by William Left ger, her husband, on the 18th Oct. inst, who afterwards fired the premises"

 The prisoner received the announcement with very little concern The Coroner is sued warrant for his commitment, and he was conducted by the Deputy Coroner and one of the officers to the Tombs.
