MARGARET HUGHES.— This notorious individual was again in Manchester a few days ago, but whether she succeeded in swindling any one during this visit we have not ascertained. She told some acquaintances before leaving that she was going direct to Madras ; but it is not at all improbable she may turn up, under some fine name, much nearer home. She appears to have recently favoured Greenock with her presence, and succeeded, as usual, by her audacious pretensions, in im posing upon several persons, including, it would seem, a Roman Catholic clergyman.  Dorangeon, who was last week convicted of the I murders in the Rue St. Placide, has made a full confession of his guilt, since his removal to the condemned cell in the prison of La Roquette. After he had signed his appeal to the Court of Cessation, he was again interrogated as to his improbable story of the pretended accomplice, whom ho accused of the two murders. After some hesitation he replied--" I very much regret that I deceived my counsel by persisting in my system of defence in spite of all his solicitations; I feel certain that, if I had told him the truth, he would have found some arguments that might have modified the verdict of the jury. But it is too late now, and I must abide the consequences of the foolish defence which a false shame prevented me from abandoning, after I had once adopted it, and which I only imagined because the sum of money stolen, only about 180 L, had been grossly exaggerated." He then proceeded to state that on Nov. 26, being quite destitute, he resolved to enlist in the army, but happening that same day to enter the shop of Mme. Cabardos, he saw her husband take some money out of a cupboard. He instantly resolved to watch an opportunity of stealing the rest, and not long after Mme. Cabardos left the house, to accompany a neighbour to the Rue du Cherche-Midi. He followed them part of the way, and then returned to the shop, and asked the niece to , fetch him some sausages. As soon as she was gone, he took a large knife from the kitchen to force open the I cupboard, and was engaged in the attempt when Mme. Cabardos suddenly entered, and laid hold of him, crying out, " Thieves, thieves I" A struggle ensued, and finding that the woman held him fast, he cut her throat, and she died almost instantly. A moment after he saw the girl returning, and fearing she would see her aunt's dead body, he took her in his arms, carried her into the kitchen, and killed her also. He then took the keys from the pocket of Mme. Cabardos, opened the cupboard, seized on the money 'and jewelry, and was going to leave, when a man j opened the door to ask about led6,,ogn to let in the house. He, referred him to the next shop, and then fastened the street door to prevent immediate discovery, and went out the back-way. He threw away his cap, and bought another as he went along !Mont Parnasse: When he reached the Chaussee du Maine, he hired a room in a lodging house, and secreted his bloody clothes and booty. Such is the confession of the criminal, and there is every reason to believe it substantially true.
