HORRIBLE CHILD-MURDER 'IN

SUSSEX.
Great excitement prevails throughout Chailey and the
surrounding districts, in tensequence of the discovery of
a shocking case of child-murder, which there is ground
for suspecting was perpetrated by the mother of the un-
fortunate deceased.
The particulars connected with this shocking case, as
sworn to before Mr. Gell, the Coroner, are, that a widow
named Hannah Sanders, about 40 years of age, had
sitlce the death of her husband given birth to two illegi-
timate children, and, about five or six months since, she

' A NEW RUSSIAN FRIGATE.-
A new frigate, Darnel. the Vlademir, has just beep
completed for the Emperor of Russia, built by
Mare, late of the firm of Ditchburn and Mare. It
ks been lying off the East India Dock gates, Black'
wall, for some days past, in the course of which it his
been visited by several persons of distinction. A 613,6!,
specimen of naval architecture is, probably, not to be
found in her Majesty's navy than this noble fri'
gate, which is of 1,400 tons burden. It is replete in
accommodation, both as regards the comfort of th.c
officers and crew, and the means of warfare; and
throughout finished in a style of first-rate excellence.
She was yesterday seen under more disadvantsge3,
the deck being crowded with furniture and store{
(being expected to sail last evening), but still tb)
beauty and completeness of her arrangements wer4
discoverable on inspection.
The offcers' cabin, or ward room, is a 3Plend,il
saloon, the officers' berths being on either side. /!'
the rnidships is a buffet furnished with a splendid
assortment of electro-plate, supplied by the Russian
consul at Birmingham. The officers' cabins are fitted
up in a superior style, each cabin containing a sofa:
bed, escritoire, and chest of drawers, with water isid
on. The ports for admitting the light and air are
glazed with thick plate-glass windows, which, I).Y
means of screws, can be opened to any extent, °r
completely and hermetically closed.
The captain's or admiral's cabin in the stern is 6
splendid seini-circular room, affording every acconl'
modation. The furniture is crimson cut velvet. ,
On the deck there is a pavilion or cabin for tne
Emperor, in which are a good-sized cabin, containing
a sofa bed, a dressing-table, &c., and a small room The
his Majesty's attendant immediately adjoining.
Then
furniture in this pavilion is of mahogany, and gre
morocco leather. Like all the rest of the furniture in
the ship, it is of the very best quality, and reflects the
highest credit on Messrs. Paul and Co., of Mansion'
house-street, who have been entrusted with the fitting
up 5f this magnificent frigate.
The pavilion in some degree detracts from the sr
pearance of the deck, but it is only in appearance.
The deck affords spacious accommodation for fightinng.
or navigating the vessel, and for six formidable 461
pounders, which are to be placed on traversing Car'
riages.
The accommodation on the lower deck is in ever);
respect admirable and appropriate for the purpose, but
fitted up in a more homely manner.
Throughout the frigate the fittings are for the most
part of mahogany. In the state cabins and officers
berths, the fittings are composed of mahogany
"
maple, combined in a tasteful manner, which sq..'.
do credit to the aristocratic drawing-room. In
word, the tout ensemble of this noble ship is big".
creditable to British art.
