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.
ance 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 the
wounded murderer read over, but previously to doing it
he inquired if the house surgeon was in 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.
ceed 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 by the hospital fire. As
soon as the jury had partially withdrawn, she again
went to his bedside, but at the desire of the sister she
was compelled again to retire, the man being still in an
agitated state. She is a short woman, with some trace'
of beauty, and rather genteel in appearance. Her face,
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 kad
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 '1

Mr. Bridges—No ; I think they have not as yet dis.
covered where the ball is.

After some further conversation, the inquest was for•
mally 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-
gumption that he will ultimately recover. No further
attempt has been made to extract the ball, which it is
now believed must have passed from under the bridge of
the nose into the gullet, and thence in all probability into
the stomach. A police-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 conver-
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 tkat 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 murder, and that if Mrs. Lambert persisted in her
intention he would himself murder her as well as her hus-
band. After having been ordered to quit the house by
Lambert he says he heard that Jane Williamson 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 to 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 net
see hint. 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 committing
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
feeli❑gs prevailed, and that he left home ou 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 " impor-
tant letters" which he delivered to the charworsan who
admitted him into Lambert's house on Sunday
morning.
_

Mrs.-Lambert is going on favourably. She was in
very low condition yesterday, but her medical attend-
tints arc full of Lupe that her life will be spared. Sbe
states that before coining to live at this house (No. 5,
Foley-place) Mr. Lambert and myself lived at 05, New-
inau-street, Mrs. Williamson, who lodged with us, was
very clever as a milliner ; and 'lien we came to live at
this house we went intn partnership together as wardrobe
dealers, and Mrs. Williamson put down 1001. as her
share towards furnishing this house. Mrs. Williamson
hail been separated from her husband about a year. Bu-
ranelli hail been known to Mr. Lambert and herself for
s me year,, and they had frequently assisted him. Dur-
ing the summer they had met hint at Tonbridge Wells,
where he had a little girl staying, his wife being dead.
Lie 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 had been living
with them upon•charity. His pension amounted to 10s,
per week, which ho 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, anti
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 we were in bed its 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. Lank•
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 band 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. Ile 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 that
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 senses, and again unlocked the
door and rushed to the foot of the stairs, and halloed not
to let him into Mrs. W ill iam son'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 mortent exami•
nation of the head of Lambert last night, in order to
give evidence as to the cause of death at the inquest,
which was opened this day.

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. I'm
Garrett.' Well, Garrett ?' quoth I.—' Garrett, sir,
Garrett; you must know all about me ; it was in all
the papers ; Garrett, you know.'—' Never heard of yc tt
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 years,

made to me, offering to remit my whole sentence if I
would disclose my method—the way I had done it, you
know ; they want to guard against similar things in
other lines, you understand;—.1" trust, sir, quoth

COMPLIMENT TO FRA.NCE.—A letter from Bremen,
3d, in the MeuitettP, says :—" The Senate has by a
decree of the 30th ult. suppressed the fete which was
every- year celebrated in this city on the 18th October,
the anniversary of the battle of Leipsic. This measure,
which was loudly called for by public opinion, was
adopted on the proposition of the assembly of the bur-
gesses. It is thus that the loyal and moderate policy of
the
Emperor every day destroys the prejudices whit
may still exist against France, and extinguishes tl
feeling of Ailizooity attached to old remixti6cencest".,
