Hs. 6d.  nil MURDER IN TRH lIATSARKET. —Ever since the alleged murderer, Giovanni Lard, has been removed to the House of Detention, after his examination at Marlborough-street Police-court on Monday last, he has shown the utmost indifference to his situation, but he has rendered himself somewhat remarkable by the frequency of his calls for an attendant, by means of a bell, to request additional food to be brought to him, but of course such requests were disregarded, food being only dealt out at specified hours to all prisoners who are unable to provide it for themselves, Yesterday the Sar dinian Consul went to the House of Detention and reqnested to have an interview with the prisoner, which was of course immediately granted, aud he informed him that he should feel it to be his duty to transmit to his Government in Sardinia, of which country the alleged murderer is a native, an intimatioa of the occurrence, and requesting at the same time that be (the prisoner) would give him the address of his father, and that he would write a letter for him, to transmit it with his own to Italy. The prisoner at first altogether declined to do so, but, on the Consul representing to him that as he had given hi 4 real name, and as a notice of the murder, is which he was alleged to be concerned, had appeared in the newspapers, with a description of his person, that as soon as those papers reached Turin the article would be translated and inserted in the Italian papers, he consented to communicate the name and address of his father. The Consul then promised to write to him. The father is a Unman, residing a few miles from Turin, and the son is of the same trade, and he had left Italy for this country to take ship to Monte Video, and from there he intended to go to Mexico, where some of his father's relatives are settled. Before the Consul left, he questioned him as to the charge, which he positively denied, and in answer to seine questions as to his posses sion of the deceased Woman's peapeety, he said that he purchased it of her for 101, and that he was innocent of auy participation in her murder. gib passport was examined, and all appeared to be quite regular as to his leaving Italy en route to this country from Monte Video.
