ICI 1.% OF SUE MURDERESS.  On Saturday morning •n awful murder, one of a sixfold character, was discovered to have been perpetrated in a cottage at West-end, situate about a mile west of Enlist., and on the border, of the royal domains of Claremont. Some workmen passing by the cottage about six o'clock am. saw a pillow stained with blood outside one the windows. Their suspicions were excited, and they kntoked at the door, but received no answer. A, eo-sn as possible thew obtained • I older, and eifecte I en entrance through the window. They found in the room they enter.ni • woman with her throat out, but not altogether dead, and lying by her child, two young children dead from wounds in the throat. On searching the other bed-rooms they discovered four more rhildreti murdered. Their throats were severed, and the weapon, 1,1 rec.r, was found. Mr. hod. surgeon, Esher, was tent for. He pronounced all the children blond the p steer of human aid. The wonsin was not so, and he dressed her wounds accordingly. The name of the *retched creature as Mary Ann Brough, aged 47 or 48, the wife of George Brough, somewhat °lifer than herself. Her nein, nos,i fainitiar to some of our readers. !she wasfirst uurse to his Hopei Highness the Prince of Wales, but was dismissed before the Prince WM named; sonic said at the t me, because she was detected drinking ardent spirPs; other, because she had, contrary to medical restrictions, received vialits surreptitiously from her husband. Her place was supplied by a woman named B•tchelor, who, having discharged her duties properly, Is now enjoying her reward. The mineable woman Broegh was, some tin runty year, ago, kitchenmald at the Palace of Claremont, and her husband was then sod sfterwards employed there an lamplighter, watchman, col porter. lie is now ennpinnirul as the guardian of the ornamental waters and fiili.ponds of Claremont. Ilia father was eciachman many )cars ago to Prince Leopold, now the King of the Belgian,. Then several children who died of natural causes young, and, firmlly, the victims rtnirdere I by their mother on Kuturday morning are. Georgina, the eldest, aged eleven, Caroline, Aged eight, SA nlnnann, seven years old, Henry and ll•rriet, twins, born in March, 1851, and George, the youngest, aged twenty-one mouths.

The husband believed der faithless, and three or four dke ago quer e •• I with her, left his cottage, and took tip his residence at Esher. The inhabitants r. ill mil talk, wonder, sod coromisserate. The father of the murdered children was seen frequently in Esher on Satorday. He had been to his cottage more than once, and is described as one like to make • hole in the water.' He appears to be respected by the villagers of Esher, of which, though long resident, he Is not native. The cottage is his freehold, and he was above want. The homicide has recovered from the eff•ets oilier self-inflicted wound, and there is • probability that she may survive.
