We, the Morning Post, have received letters from our correspondents before Sebastopol, with dates up to the 27th of December. There had been the usual sorties by the enemy and the customary bloody repulses by the Allies, almost daily up to that date. The greatest joy had been diffused among the troops by the publication of the followinc , General Order, communicating her m os t grac i ous Majesty's approbation of the conduct of the army on the oc casion of the memorable Battle of Inkerman : " GENERAL ORDER. " HEAD-QUARTERS, BEBORE SEBASTOPOL, 24TH DECEMBER, 1854. " The Commander of the Forces has the greatest satisfaction in publishing to the army two despatches from the Minister of War, the one expressing the Queen's ertire approbation of the conduct of the troops at theb::ttle of Inkerman, the other signifying her Ma jesty's gracious intention of conferring a medal upon all the officers and soldiers of the army who have been en gaged in the arduous and brilliant campaign in the Crimea. " The Commander of the Forces congratulates the army on receiving sa distinguished a mark of her Majesty's favour and high appreciation of their gal lant exertions ; and he deems it his duty at the same time to draw the particular attention of all to the following passage in the Duke of Newcastle's despatch of the 27th inst. :—" Let not any private soldier in the ranks believe that his conduct is unheeded—the Queen thanks him—his country honours him." WA,R DEPARTMENT, 27th NOVEMBER, 1854. "My Lord--I received on the 22d instant your lord ship's despatch of the Bth of this month, communicating the intelligence of the glorious battle of the sth, in which a determined attack by vastly superior numbers of the enemy was completely repulsed by the unfaltering steadiness and gallantry of the Allied Armies. " I immediately laid before the Queen the details of this important victory, and it is now my grateful duty to express to your lordship her Majesty's high apprecia tion of the noble exertions of her troops i❑ a conflict which is unsurpassed in the annals of war for persever ing valour and chivalrous devotion. The strength and fury of the attacks, repeatedly renewed by fresh columns with a desperation which appeared t• be irresistible, were spent in vain against the unbroken lines, and the matchless intrepidity of the men they had to encounter. Such attacks could only be repulsed by that cool cou rage under circumstances the most adverse, and that confidence of victory which have ever animated the British army. " The banks of the Alma proved that no advantages of position can withstand the impetuous assault of the army under your command. The heights of Inkerman have now shown that the dense columns of an entire army are unable to force the ranks of less than one fourth their numbers in the hand-to-hand encounters with the bayonet which characterised this bloody day. "Her Majesty has observed with the liveliest feelings of gratification the manner in which the troops of her Ally the Emperor of the French came to the aid of the divisions of the British army engaged in this numerically unequal contest. The Queen is deeply sensible of the cordial co-operation of the French Commander-in -Chief, General Canrobert, and the gallant conduct of that distinguished officer General Bosquet, and her Majesty recognises in the cheers with which the men of both nations encou raged each other in their united charge proofs of the esteem and admiration mutually engendered by the cam paign, and the deeds of heroism it has produced. "The Queen desires that your lordship will receive her thanks far your conduct throughout this noble and successful struggle, and that you will take measures for making known her no less warm approval of the services of all the officers, non - commissioned officers, and soldiers, who have so gloriously won by their blood, freely shed, fresh honours for the army of a country which sympathises as deeply with their privations and exertions as it glories in their victories and exults in their fame. Let not any private soldier in those ranks believe that his conduct is unheeded. The Queen thanks him, his country honours him. " Her Majesty will anxiously expect the further de spatch in which your lordship proposes to name those officers whose services have been especially worthy of notice. In the meantime, I am commanded by her Majesty to signify her approbation of the admirable be haviour of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Geo. Brown, and her regret that he has been wounded in action. Her Majesty has received with feelings of no ordinary pleasure your lordship's report of the manner in which Lieut.-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge distin guished himself. That one of the illustrious mem bers of her royal house should be associated with the toils and glories of such an army, is to the Queen a source of great pride and congratulation. " To Major Bentinck, Major-General Codrington,* Brigadier-Generals Adams, Torrens, and Buller, your lordship will be pleased to convey the Queen's sympathy in their wounds, and thanks for their services. "To the other officers named by your lordship, I am directed to express her Majesty's approbation. The gallant conduct of Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy Evans has attracted the Queen's especial thanks. Weak from a bed of sickness, he rose at the sound of the battle— not to claim his share in prominent command, but to aid with his veteran counsel and assistance the junior offi cer upon whom in his absence had devolved the duty of leading his division. " Proud of the victory won by her brave army— grateful to those who wear the laurels of this great conflict—the Queen is painfully affected by the heavy loss which has been incurred, and deeply sensible of what is owing to the dead. Those illustrious men cannot, indeed, receive the thanks of their Sovereign, which have so often cheered the soldier in his severest trials, but their blood has not been shed in vain. Laid low in their grave of victory, their names will he cherished for ever by a grateful country, and posterity will look upon the list of officers wino have fallen as a proof of the ardent courage and zeal with which they pointed out the path of honour to no less Willing followers. " the loss of Lieutenant-General the Hon, Sir George Cathcart is to the Queen and to her people a cause of sorrow which even dims the triumph of this great occa sion. His loyalty, his patriotism, and self-devotion were not less conspicuous than his high military reputa tion. One of a family of warriors, he was an honour to them and an ornament to his profession. Arrived in his native land from a colony to which he had succeeded in restoring peace and contentment, he obeyed at a moment's notice the call of duty, and hastened to join that army in which the Queen and the country fondly hoped he would have lived to win increased renown. "The death of Brigadier-General Strangways and Brigadier-General Goldie has added to the sorrow which mingles in the rejoicing of this memorable battle. " The Queen sympathises in the loss sustained by this families of her officers and so ldi ers, b ut her Majesty bids them reflect with her, and derive consolation from the thought, that they fell iu the sacred cause of justice, and in the ranks of a noble army.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's obedient humble servant, " NEWCASTLE. Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, C.C.B. &c., &c., &e." , My LORD,—I have received the Queen's commands to signify to your lordship her Majesty's intention to confer a medal upon all the officers and soldiers of the army who have been engaged in the arduous and bril liant campaign in the Crimea. "This medal will bear on it the word 'Crimea,' with an appropriate device—a design for which has been ordered to he prepared. "It is also her Majesty's desire that clasps with the names of Alma and liikerrnan' inscribed upon them, shall be accorded to those who have been in either, or both, of those hard-fought battles, and that the same Names shall in future be borne on the colours of all the regiments which were engaged on those bloody and glo rious days. Your lordship will be pleased to convey to the army this Royal command, an additional proof of her Majesty's appreciation of its noble services, and her sympathy with its valour and renown.—l have the hon our to be, my lord, your lordship's obedient humble servant, "NEWCASTLE. "Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.8., &c., &e. "By order. " • B. 13. ESTCOURT, Aar, GEN." (Signed) The following despatch from his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, Minister at War, has been published in General Orders, and read to the troops serving in the Crimea : " War Department, Nov. 20, 1854. "My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship's despatches, Nos. 83 and 84, of the 18th and 23d of October. " I have submitted to the Queen th e i n t erest i ng re ports with which your lordship has furnished me in these despatches of the commencement and subseq uen t pro gress of those vast gyrations in which the allied armies and fleets of her Arajesty and of th e E mperor of the French, in conjunction with taose of the Sulta n , are en gaged against the stronghold of their common e nem y ; and I am commanded by her Majesty to express to your lordship, and, through you, to the army under your command, the high satisfaction with which she has re ceived the intelligence, no less of the v ery e ff ective man ner in which the fire of the allied batteries were opened than of the encrgy and determination with which the fire was subsequently sustained. The unfortunat e occur rence of the explosion of a magazine in one of the French batteries, which took place at an early stage of the ope rations, must doubtless have prevented any immedi a t e effect of a decisive nature being produced on th e enemy ' s works ; but her Majesty rejoices to find that the ener getic ani persevering efforts of the French commander enabled him to overcome the temporary check which this disaster appears to have imposed upon the exertions of the forces under his command. .. " Her Majesty is fully sensible of the motives which induced your lordship . to secure the co-opera tion of the combined fleets in the attack upon the enemy's works at the mouth of the harbour, simul taneously with the fire from the batteries on the land side. The aid which, so far as they were enabled to render it, was thus afforded by the naval to the exer- * "Major-General Codrington is erroneously stated to 114Y0 been wounded." - LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DI 1.) ,Lis dap at Noon, S.W. ; LONDON, Jan. 9.—Wind light breeze, with fine weathe] PouTsmoura, Jan.

FOREIGN EXCHANGES.—The foreign exchanges gene rally show a tendency to improvement. At Hamburg and Holland there has been an advance, and at the former • city money has become abundant at 24 per cent. The French rate exhibits more firmness, but some further amount of gold was taken from the Bank of England yesterday for remittance. DUTCH PRODUCE MARKETS.—The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce markets men tion that there was net muck activity in business, but that quotations were well supported. The transactions in coffee, although limited, were sufficient to maintain previous rates. Little variation was noticeable in raw sugar, but the general descriptions of refined exhibited a slight advance. Sales of rice had been made at lower quotations. There was steadiness in the prices of tea, and indigo also showed firmness. ROUEN.—The letters from Rouen state that the mar ket for manufactures was rather more active, although no material alteration had occurred in prices. THE FORTHCOMING HILARY TERM.—Yesterday, the lists of the arrears of business in the common law courts for the forthcoming Hilary Term, commencing on Thurs• day next, were published in the offices of the several courts. There is a marked improvement in the lists with respect to cases, showing au increase of business com pared with preceding lists. In the Queen's Bench, in' the new trial paper, two rules are standing for judgment and 28 for argument. In the special paper, including demurrers, there are four for judgment and 20 for argu ment ; and of enlarged rules there are 16—making a total of 70 rules. In the Common Pleas the total is only 29 rules, consisting of three enlarged rules, eight for new trial, one for decision, and 17 demurrers entered. In the Court of Exchequer the number is 51. There are 13 rules in the peremptory paper, six in the special paper, and of new trials, four for judgment, and 28 for argu ment. The total of the three courts is 150 rules. The increased business is partly attributed to the operatiork of the two Common Law hoceduro Acts, tions of the land forces, is highly appreciated by her Majesty ; and I am further commanded to express the gratification with which her Majesty has received the intelligence communicated by you of the able and gallant assistance afforded by the sailors from the fleet, under the command of Captain Lushington and Captain _Peel, in the land batteries. "Her Majesty deeply sympathises with thoso who, during the progress of the operations which form the subject of your present despatches, have been wounded in the service of their country, and has received with sin cere sorrow your report of the loss of those of her gallant soldiers and sailors who have been killed. It is impos sible that operations of such great magnitude and diffi culty, more especially when the vast resources of the enemy, and his powerful means of resistance, are taken into consideration, should be unattended by loss ; and her Majesty cannot but rejoice that, under the continued exposure to the incessant fire of an enemy vastly superior in number s, to which her forces, both naval and military, have been subjected, that loss, during the period included in the returns of casualties enclosed in your despatches, is not so great as might have been anticipated.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient humble servant, "NEWCASTLE. " Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.8., &c., &e." The foregoing despatch, although dated later than the Duke of Newcastle's despatch which we published on Christmas-day, relates, as will have been observed, to operations in the Crimea anterior to those there grace fully commended. The following have also been published in Genera: Orders : Extract from a letter of the Duke cf Newcastle to Lord Raglan, dated November 21, 1834. " I take the present opportunity to assure your lordship of the satisfaction with which I have received the testi mony borne by Major-General Sir Colin Campbell in his report enclosed in your despatch of the 23th of October, to the assistance rendered by the Royal Marine Ai tillery and Royal Marines, in opposing the advance of the enemy's cavalry in the action before Balaklava of the 25th of that month." " War Department, Nov. 23, 1854. "My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship's despatch, No. 94, of the 31st of October, which reached me on the 17th inst. " I have lost no time in submitting to the Queen the names of those officers whom Lieutenant-General the Earl of Lucan considers as entitled to be specially men tioned for their service in the action of the 25th of Octo ber in front of Balaklava, and whom your lordship commends to my notice ; and I have received her Ma jesty's commands to desire that your lordship will con vey to each of the officers in question the high approba tion with which her Majesty has viewed their valour and excellent conduct in that action.--I have the ho nour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient and humble servant, " NEWCASTLE.

This morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Wakley, the coroner for the western division of Middlesex, opened an inquest at the Devonshire Arms Tavern, Foley-place, Regent 'street, respecting the death of Mr. Joseph Latham, aged 44, who was murdered on Sunday last, in Foley-place— particulars of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. Mr. Henry John Latham, of Erith, said that he had been a clerk in the Stock-office of the Bank of England. The deceased was his brother. He had not been in any employ for some years past. He had held a situation in the Royal Hospital, Greenwich, but at present lived in dependently. He had seen the body at No. 5, Foley place, and could identify it as that of his brother. By the Jury —I know nothing of the death of my brother except what I have seen in the public papers. Ey the Coroner—He had been married 20 years, but was separated from his wife. By the Foreman—He had been ceparated from bis wife eight or ten years. The Coroner--My brother passed by the name of Lambert, and had done so for some years past. A Juror—By what name did the female pass ? Witness —By the name of Lambert. A Juror—Are you aware whether or not his wife troubled him ? Witness--I think not. I believe they lived apart by mutual arrangement. The Coroner—And you are one of the trustees ? Witness—Yes, I am. A Juror—Did his wife ever ask him for money ? Witness—l think not, as she had some property settled on her. The Foreman—Did you ever hear the husband com plain of the conduct of his wife, or the wife complain of the husband ? Witness—l never heard of any complaint on either side. A Juror—Are you aware that he passed by the same name when he went to live in Dean-street ? Witness—l am not, sir. Mr. Alexander Bridges said that he was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and was in practice at No. 19, Langham•place, Regent -street. He had not seen the deceased before Sunday last. ,H e was called that evening at 25 minutes after nine. He proceeded to No. 5, Foley-place. He saw a police officer there, and found the deceased in bed, on the ground back room ; the door, when opened, led him to see the deceased at the back of it. By the Coroner—When I went into the room I saw not the slightest indications of life, and I found that the deceased's shirt was covered with blood. The Coroner—How was he then lying Witness—He was lying on his right side, and his chest was completely covered with blood. The Coroner —Had he at that time any pulse that you are aware of ? Witness—l felt and found he had not the least pulse, and a female was lying at his side in bed. The Coroner—Was she at all injured I Witness—l saw that she had blood on her arm, and I handed her out of bed. She is at the present time under the care of Mr. - Norman, a surgeon. I made a pest mortent examination of the body. I examined closely the neck, and found in the wound the bullet I now pro duce. The cause of death was this bullet passing through the first and second vertebrae of the neck, passing com pletely through the spinal' marrow, leaving the bullet there, and lodged against the process of one of bones, perfectly flattening the bullet on one side. Death must have been instantaneous. I did not examine any other part, but the brain was uninjured. I have no doubt that the division of the spinal marrow by the bullet was the cause of death. The shoulder of the shirt and the neck were very much singed. By a Juryman—Did the female say anything to you? Witness—No, sir, she was very confused. The Coroner—Who is the next witness ? The Beadle—Sophia De Veaux, who let the man in on the Sunday morning. Coroner—You are not attending the female, Mr. Bridges ? Witness—No, sir. Sophia De Veaux was then sworn and examined as fol lows :—I live at 13, Cumberland-market. I was at No. 5, Foley-place, on Sunday last. I was there en gaged as a servant for a few days by the deceased gen tleman. I was there on Sunday morning about half past nine. I was in the kitchen. I heard a knock, and upon going up to open the door I found a foreigner there. I had known him for six months before as visit ing Mr. Lambert. He said, "Where is Mr. Lambert ?" I said, "He is not up yet." " Where is Mrs. Lambert ?" he next asked, and I replied, "Not up." " Where is Mrs. Williamson ?" he asked next, and I said " Not up." He then gave me a great coat and small parcel, and told me to take it down stairs into the kitchen. Be fore I. could get to the bottom of the stairs I heard the report of a pistol, and I ran up stairs just as the fo reigner was running out of the door. He said he had killed Mr. Lambert, but ho did not say so to Ine. I heard him run up stairs and say so. I ran out into the street and called in policeman 14 E. The policeman came in, and soon afterwards I saw the man whom I had admitted in his custody. I had never heard the foreigner threaten Mr. or Mrs. Lambert in any way. I saw no weapon in his hand when I let him in, but I heard that a pistol was found in the parlour. He used to live with the Lam berts' whe❑ they lived in Newman-street, anl he went with them to Foley-place. It was shortly before Christ mas that the Lamberts went to Foley-place, but I do not know when the foreigner left. I had never heard any quarrelling amongst them at any time. By the Jury—l was uninformed of any quarrelling, and I admitted him, as any other friend of Mr. Lambert. He walked into the hall with the coat on is arm. He knew the bed-room from having lived there. I did net see him go into the bed-room, nor do I know what was in the parcel. Ido not know the number in Newman. street that the Lamberts lived at, but Smith is on the door. I heard a second report almost directly after the first. Ido not know that the foreigner had dined there a few days before. I should know him again if I saw him. Sergeant Hayes, E 14, sworn and examined—My name is Francis Hayes, sergeant of police, living at 44, Hastings-street, Burton-crescent. I was called to No. 5, Foley-place, about half-past nine last Sunday morning, by Sophia De Vona. She said a ;:nan had shot her master. I immediately went to the house, the door of which I found open ; and on entering the back parlour I saw a man lying in bed on his left side, and bleeding from the back of the head. The room was full of smoke, and smelt very strong of gunpowder. Sitting on the other side of the bed was a woman in her night clothes, with her dress covered with blood, and having her right arm bleeding. She told me the man who had shot her hus band had run upstairs. I went up to the drawing -room floor, where I was joined by two other officers, and while I was trying the drawing-room door I heard a noise up stairs. While going up I heard a voice call out "Open it—open it," and as I turned the bend of the stairs I saw a man's legs 'pass along the top of the landing. I still went up and then I heard a door slam. By this time I had arrived on the land ing, and heard some female voices crying out, " Oh, what is it I" I tried to open their bed-room door, and while doing so!I heard the report of a pistol in the ad joining room. I tried to enter the latter roma door, but as I did so my fellow constable struck it with his foot. It immediately opened, and I then saw a man lying upon the floor bleeding profusely front his nose, and crying out, "I shall die, I shall die." By his aide I found the pistol which I now produce. (It was a small common percussion pistol.) The other pistol was found by the side of the bed in the room' down stairs. There was no third pistol, nor was there any double-barrelled pistol ; but there was time to re-load a pistol between my getting in and going up stairs. The man spoke to me. He said he had frequently been in Middlesex Hospital for disease, and that be loaded the pistol on going up stairs. The Coroner—lt would be very desirable at this point that the jury should go with the witness to Middlesex Hospital and see him identify the man. There would be no danger to the man in that, s ould there, Mr. Bridges ? Mr. Bridges—No, sir. I have seen him this morning and felt his pulse. The Coroner—l have also seen him, and he has no fever, Would it injure him, Mr. Bridges, if the jury were to go and see him ? Mr. Bridges--No, it would not. YEsterday he wrote a letter. The inquest was then adjourned to the Middlesex :ospital. The jury then proceeded to Middlesex Hospital, ac companied by Mr. Wahley, the police constable, and the woman De Veaux, for the purpose of identifying Luigi Buranelli, the man accused of murder. The miserable man was lying in one of the ordinary beds in the lower ward of the hospital, and on the first en trance of the jury appeared to be perfectly calm and collected, and not in any material bodily pain. Over the wound, on the left side of his face was laid a damp napkin, upon which there was no signs of blood. Upon the woman and the policeman being brought to the foot of the bed for the purpose of identification, the sister of the ward removed the napkin, and the 'wound was entirely exposed. It would appear from the cursory glance which our reporter obtained of it that the ball had injured the face just below the left eye, and near the nose, giving to that part of the face the appear. ante of a very bad black eye. The Coroner asked the police constable and the woman whether that was the man, and being answered in the affirmative, was about to have the statement of th e wounded murderer read over, but previously to doing it he inquired if the house surgeon wasin the way, to know whether he was in a fit condition to bear the excitement.; At this moment the man became very agitated, breathing heavily, and rocking about as if in acute pain, and Mr. Bridges, in the absence of the house surgeon, felt his pulse, and declared that it would be dangerous to pro. teed further. The jury were then desired to leave the presence of the man, and it then transpired that just previously to their coming in the woman Williamson had been with him, and was at that time sitting 1. , 37 the hospital file. As soon as the jury had partially withdrawn, she again went to his bedside, but at the desire of the sister she wa3 compelled again to retire, the man being still in an agitated state. She is a short woman, with some traces of beauty, and rather genteel in appearance. Her faoe, however, was very much swollen from excessive crying. The jury having re-assembled in the board-room of the Hospital, Hayes, the constable, gave formal evidence of the identification. The Coroner then asked whether the medical gentle• man attending Mrs. Lambert was present ? Mr. Bridges said he was not, but that he himself had seen Mrs. Lambert this morning, and thought it very uncertain whether she would live or die. She was in a very excited state. The Coroner—Do you think she will be able to attend in a week ? Mr. Bridges—No ; I think they have not as yet die. covered where the ball is. After some further conversation, the inquest was for. orally adjourned until Wednesday the 17th inst. FURTHER STATEMENT OF IHE MURDERER. There is every reason to fear that the wretched author of this tragedy has failed to inflict upon himself a wound of sufficient gravity to occasion fatal results to himself. After a night of some personal suffering, Buranelli woke yesterday morning in a more comfortable state, and his condition last night was such as to lead to a strong pre sumption that he will ultimately recover. No farther attempt has been made to extract the ball, which it ia now believed must have passed from under the bridge of the nose into the gullet, and thence in all probability into the stomach. A poliee•constable is constantly on duty at his bedside, and to him as well as to the nurses in at. tendance the miserable man has been freely communica. tive on the subject of his crime. He still expresses a hope that he may not recover ; but in reply to inquiries states that he feels himself a "little better."' In convex , . sation, he has explained the motive of his murderous at tack to have arisen from an allegation communicated to him by Jane Williamson, to the effect that Mrs. Lam. bert had said she would provide her with something to drink, which would have the effect of destroying the infant with which the former was pregnant by himself. He adds that he loved Jane Williamson sincerely, and that she had often told him his affection was returned. That he had promised her marriage on receipt of his an. nual pension of 201., and that upon hearing what Mrs. Lambert had suggested, he told Jane Williamson that such a proceeding would be highly improper, and equiva• lent to mu r d er , an d that if Mrs. Lambert persisted in her intention he would himself murder her as wall as her hus band. After having been ordered to quit the house by Lambert he says he heard that Jane Williamsoa was confined to her bed ill, that he then believed she was suffering from the effect of drugs administered to her by Mrs. Lambert for the purpose before described. On the night of Saturday last he says he went to Foley. place, and walked to and fro in the vicinity of Lambert's house for some time, until he met Harriet Miller, their servant, of whom he inquired how Mrs. Williamson was. Miller informed him that she had been ill and confined to her bed, but was now better. He says on hearing this he went into a coffee-house and wrote a letter to Mrs. Williamson, entreating her tq see him once again ; that he sent the letter by a lad who, after being detained in the house a quarter of an hour, came back and told him that Mrs. Williamson was ill in bed, and could not see him. He says that his previous impressions as to Mrs. Lambert's unfair practices upon his inamorata were now revived, and he determined upon murdering both herself and her husband, as well as oommitting suicide himself. He describes himself to have gone home to his lodgings in Newman-street, where he sat up the greater part of the night in writing ; that at daybreak on Sunday morning he threw himself upon his couch without undressing, and struggled hard to combat the intention he had formed, but that ultimately his worser feelings prevailed, and that he left home on the bloody errand he subsequently too successfully accomplished. He is perfectly conscious of the presence of the officer at his bedside, and has made several inquiries as to the safety of what he describes to be a packet of " imper tant letters" which he delivered to the charwoman who admitted him into Lambert's house on Sunday morning. Mrs. Lambert is going on favourably. She was in a very low condition yesterday, hut her medical attend ants are full of hope that her life will be spared. She states that before coming to live at this house (No. 5, Foley-place) Mr. Lambert and myself lived at 35, New man-street, Mrs. Williamson, who lodged with us, was very clever as a milliner ; and when we came to live at this house we went into partnership together as wardrobe dealers, and Mrs. Williamson put down 1001. as her share towards furnishing this house. Mrs. Williamson bad been separated from hi r husband about a year. Bu ranelli had been known to Mr. Lambert and herself for some years, and they had frequently assisted him. Dur ing the summe r they had met him at Tonbridge Wells , where he h a d a li ttle girl staying, his wife being dead: He was very ill at the time, and Mr. Lambert brought him up to London, and got him admitted to the Middle. sex Hospital, where an operation was performed on him for fistula. Since he had come out he bad been living with them upon charity. His pension amounted to 10s. per week, which he said he received from Mr. Drum mond. He paid ss. of that for the keep of his child at Tonbridge Wells, and the remainder, with what he could pick up and what we gave him, was all he had to live upon. We gave him a lodging, and he came with us to this house. On Thursday week last, in consequence of a communication Mrs. Williamson had made to me as to his conduct, Mr. Lambert, at the instance of Mrs. Williamson, ordered him to quit the house, and as Mrs. Williamson was called to say that she desired it, he then went away. Mrs. Williamson expressed herself uncomfortable about his being there, but would not state the ground she had for feeling so. Since that time Buranelli has made several attempts to obtain an interview with her, but without effect, and letters he sent were burned unanswered. He sent two letters on Saturday, and I believe he thought Mr. Lam bert was the cause of his receiving no reply. On Sunday morning wo were in bed in the back parlour, and the first I heard was the door open, and a voice which I knew to be Buranelli's say, " Mr. Lambert, Mr. Lam. bert ;" and then I heard the report of a pistol, and saw Buranelli standing with the pistol close to the back of Mr. Lambert's head. On jumping up I saw he had a pistol in his other hand pointing at me, and I first hid myself under the bed clothes, but after an instant's re flection I jumped up and rushed towards Buranelli to snatch the pistol from him. He still pointed it towards me, and I think I fell upon my knees, but in an instant I heard a report, and I felt I was wounded. He then ran away, and rushed up stairs. I rushed to the front door and called for assistance, and to some gentlemen passing to save my life. I then ran into the dining room and locked the door, and then I fell down. I shortly recovered my . Genres, and again unlocked the door and rushed to the foot of the stairs, and halloed not to let him into Mrs. Williamson's room, as I felt assured he had gone up to shoot her. I then got into the room again where Mr: Lambert was, and fell against the bed, when the policeman came. I think I saw Mr. Lam bert's lips move convulsively once or twice after he was shot. Mr. E. W. Duffin and other medical gentlemen acting under the coroner's warrant made a post mortem exami. nation of the head of Lambert last night, in order to give evidence as to the cause of death at the inquest, which will be opened this day. It&ILWAY ROBBERIES.—The public will not have forgotten the prJsecutions of the Maynard, Garrett, and Tarr gangs of depredators on passengers' luggage which were conducted by Mr. Nash with such energy and. success, but involved him in a series of ruinous litiga tion, without indemnity. Mitchell, the " Irish rebel," in his journal now published, records the following parti culars of his encounter with Garrett, at Bermuda : "On my arrival there (Bermuda), I had hardly been left alone in my cabin before a convict softly entered. He was servant to the assistant•surgeon, and came with a pine apple which his master had sent me. 'l'm Garrett.' Well, Garrett ?' guoth I.—' Garrett, sir, Garrett; you must know all about me ; it was in all the papers ; Garrett, you know.'—'Never heard of y( $ before, Garrett.'—Oh, dear, yes, sir, you must be quite well aware of it—the great railway affair, you remember.' No, I do not.'—' Oh, then, I am Mr. Garrett, who was connected with the --- railway. It was a matter of 40,0001. I realised. Forty thousand pounds, sir, left it behind me. I have been here now two yearly and like it very well—devilish fine brown girls here, sir. I am very highly th oug ht o f— cre ated a great sensation when I came. Indeed, for my part, my litt.e affair was made a concern of state, too. Lord John Russell, since I came out here, had a private application made to me, offering to remit my w hole sentenc e if I would disclose my method—the way I had done it, you know ; they want to guard against similar thi ngs i n other lines, you understand.'—` I trust, sir,' quoth I, respectfully, you treated the man's applic a ti on w ith the contempt it deserved.'
