Mr. Adraln read to the representatives of tbe press tbe cotifesslou dic tated to him by Bridget, as follow: I am nearly tweuty-tliree years of age. My reul nnme is Bridget Dugnau. My father is dead, out my motner is suit living in Dnncllfifie county, Hligo, Ireland, where lwas born. Have two brothers living: there. and two sisters, one younger llviug wltu mother, and the other is idur, married, aucl living In England. Came to tnis country iv. u years lust Christmas; I lived II rut in Brooklyn, then at Potillis' Ferry, and in Pls calaway, HUtl in Plniutield, New Jersey, aud finally wiiu ur. uorien, ut .e .MiiritHi. air. Corlell was very kind and pletsanl lo me, aud I never bud any quarrel with tiur. About luilf-paht in o cliM'H on tue nisjui oi Fehruary 'lh last Mrs. uorlell was lying ou the lounge, in the sitting-room Before lying dowu she complained of not leeling very well, and said she would not go to bed, and wished nie to sit up ntiu which nine Mamie, who was sleeping lu the cradle tu the ntxt bed-room. As Mrs. CorMi was ivli' ou tbe lounge apparently asleep, I cunie out of tbe kitcheu vliu tue nreau Ktiue in my imau tint v.us exblhiled ou the trial, aud piu&ed up tbe ktrosene lamp winch wax stH'iii lng on the table not lighted, and approaching her struck her with mio U.up ou the bend. bhesUtrtcd up newildered and vrml into the bed-room. uid I followed slier tier. Hhe stood by the side of the bed, and us I o tiue near ber she grasped tue knife ul of my band. I turned and plc&ud ur miolher knilo from the tuble in the be.l-roum, which was concealed by a clotb which I hod thrown over it. I had found it in a bureau drawer and placed It there. 1 then l it mod upon Mrs. Coiiell, pushed be b.tclt ou tho bed, and struck her repeatedly wltu His knlle. The other Rnlte had fallen ou the floor anl was not used by either, aud I do not know how It becouiH bent. She resisted all sue could, defending herself with pillows, and after striking her very often, mh she lay upon tue bed, aud, supposing she was dead, 1 picked up tbe little Manila out of tue c adle aud went into tbe sitting room aud but on tbe lounge for a tew mlnu es. 1 theu went into the kitchen with Mamie, and washed my bands in a pot of water ou the stove. I theu returned to the sitting-room and bed room, and found Mrs. Corlell had gone out of ttie house. I found ber going towards the gate. I told her to go back agalu. tSlie said nothing, but went, back, and as she was passing through the silting room, slopped und kissed little Mamie, and tiien sat down on the floor between the sitting-room and bed-room. While she was sittlug there I took the child's small chair and struck ber two or three times. I never hit ber on the neck, as was supposed. I tben drew ber Into trie bed-room, and laid her down on tbe i floor. I then came back to the sitting-room, and afterwards lighted Mamie's dresses and some paper, and threw it burning on tbe bed. I carried the chil Jout ot the bouse In the same clothes us when she wasputiuto tbe cradle. I went down to the gate, and while standing there, tuougbt I beard it man coming. I went back into the house and sat on the lounge five minutes, and then left the bouse and aroused the neighbors, repre senting tbat robbers were in the bouse. Tbe confession then recites several facts of no great importance, most of them being contra dictory of previous statements. She states tuat Mary Gilroy was not there on the nigbt of the murder and knew nothing about It, being en tirely Innocent. Tbe confession tben concludes as follows: There was no truth In my story about two men coming to tbe house on the night of the murder; and Annie Given, whom I unjustly charged, had nothing to do with It. There was no design or attempt to rob. Tbe murder was for another purpose. I killed Mrs. Corlell thinking that I might take her place. This alone led me to commit the horrid crime. The idea of murdering her did not come upon me suddenly that night; I bad thought of it a long time before, fhave told a true story. I am sorry for having com mute so great a crime, and hope God will for give me. Latest Markets by Telegraph. New Yobk, August 8 1. Cotton dull at 27c.
