FARTHER STATEMENT OF THE MURDERER.  After a night of some personal suffering Barone woke on Monday morning in a more comfortable state, and his condition at night was such as to lead to a strong presumption that he will ultimately recover. No farther attempt has been made to extract the ball, which it is uow 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 attendance, the miserable man has been freely communicative on the aubjei.it 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 conversation he has explained the motive of his murderous attack to have arisen from an allegation communicated to him by Jane Williamson, to the effect that Mrs. Lambert had said she would provide her with something to drink, which should have the effect of de. stroying 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 annual pension of £2O, and that upon hearing what Mrs. Lambert had suggested, he told Jane Williamson that such a proceeding would be highly improper, and equivalent to murder, and that if Mrs Lambert persisted in her intention he would himself murder her as well as her husband. 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 11l in bed, and could not see him. Ile says that his previous impressions as to Mrs. Lambert's unfair practices upon his inamorata were now revived, and lie 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 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 feelings prevailed, and that he left home on the bloody errand he subsequently too successfully accomplished. He is perfectly conscious of the presence of the officer at his bedside, and has mode special inquiries as to the safety of what he describes to be a packet of 'important letters,' which he delivered to the charwoman who admitted him to Lambert's house on Sunday morning.
