THE FOLEY-PLACE TRAGEDY.  FURTHER STATEMENT OF THE MURDERER. There in every reason to fear that the wretched author of this tragedy has failed to inflict upon himself a wound of sufficient gravity to occasion fatal results to himself. After a night of some personal suffering, Buranelli woke yesterday morning in a more comfortable state, and his condition last night was such u to lead to a strong presumption that he will ultimately recover. No further attempt has been made to extract the ball, which it is now believed must have passed from under the bridge of the nese 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 subject of his crime. He still expresses a hope that he may not recover; but, in reply to inquiries, states that he feels himself • " 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 bad said she would provide her with something to drink, which should have the effect of destroying the infant with which the former was pregnant by himeelf. 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 201., and that upon hearing what Mrs. Lambert bad suggested, he told Jane Williamson that such a proseeding 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 baying 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 lest he says he went to Foley-place, and I walked to and fro in the vicinity of Lambert's house for IMO time, until he met Harriet Miller, their servant, of whom he inquired how Mrs. Williamson was. Miller is him that she had been ill and confined to her bed, but was now better. He says on hearing this he went into • coffee-house and wrote a letter to Mrs. Williamson, en treating 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, cams back and told him that Mrs. Williamson was ill in bed, and could not see him. He says that his previous impressions as to Mrs. Lambert's unfair practices upon his inamorata were now revived, and he 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 hare: to combat the intention he bad formed, but that ultimately his werset feelings prevailed, and that he left home on the bloody errand he subsequently too euccessfully accomplished. He is perfectly conscious of the presence of the officer at his bedside, end has made special inquiries as to the safety of what be describes to be a packet of "important lettere which he delivered to the charwoman who admitted him into Lsmbert's house on Sunday morning. Mrs. Lambert is going on favourably. She was in a very low condition yesterday, but her medical attendants are fall of hope that her life will be spared. Mr. E. W. Dania and other medial gentlemen acting under the coroner's warrant made a post morfem examination of the head of Lambert last night, in order to give evidence u to the cause of death at the inquest, which will be opened this day.
