THE NEW YORK HERALD. SUNDAY MORNIN SHOCKING TRAGEDY. Cold Blooded Murder at the Brandreth House. JEALOUSY AND REVENGE. A SOUTHERNER ASSASSINATES HIS MISTRESS, CAPTURE OF THE PERPETRATOR. HIS CONFESSION ABD STATEMERT. FULL DETAILS OF THE OCOURRENCE, IBTENGE EXCITEMENT IN BROADWAY, dee, Reo, &e A berribie af'sir ocourred at the Brandreth Hoase, cor. mer of Broadway and Caval street, yesterday afternoon, boul bo’clock. A Southern merchant, named Robert C. MoDonaid, enraged at the infidelity of his mistress, Virginia Btowart, attacked her as she was passing the above inen- tiencd hotel, and pursuing her aroand the corner of Canal street, shot ber through the bra‘n as she was attempting to eecape up the staircase of the hotel. The tragedy occurred mt an boor when the Riaito of New York ie crowded ‘with a busy throng, and the promenade side of the street jz wwet frequented, The excitement in the neighborhool ‘was huiense, and in a moment or two after the shot was fired full five thousand peuple were collected on the spot. Our reporter was st the scene of the murder a few minutes after the occarrence took piace, and is therefore ‘enabled to give full and reliable account of the melancholy Wwansuction, which he has submitted to us as follows :— Abcat four o’clock yesterday afternoon a party, con- sisting of one gentieman and three ladies, entered Tay- Jor’a saloon jp Broadway, for the purpose of having mome refrcabments. Daniel Umacke, the head waiter, who observed the party narrowly, describes their pro- ecedings as follows:— A geptleman whose name is McDonald and threo Indies came into Taylor's saloon this (Saturday) after- moon at four o'clock. The ladies sat at one table, and the gentleman sat at a separate table by himself. The gentleman called for a small bottle of wine, of which the Jadies partook. From the time they entered the gentie- mén never spoke a word to the ladies. Having got through, the ladies came up to the counter to pay their ‘enceks, foliowed by the gentleman; and the gentleman having paid the amonnt, the ladios were proceeding to- ‘wards the door, when he wont afver them, and drawing ‘one of them aside sald something to her. Tho other two lndier, on seeing them speak, went hastily into the street, and were followed in about a minute afterwards by Mr. ‘McDonald and ihe other lady. Alter leaving Taylor’e galoon, we trace the whole party tothe corner of Broadway and Cunal etreet, and what transpired afterwards the following statement will un- Bold — STATEMENT 9F MR. E. VANRANST. Three women, ove of whom I subsequently as- oertained to be Virginia Stewart, were standing on the eorper of Canal street and Broadway, about five o’cloct P. M,, when a gentleman, whose name I heard was Ro- Dert ©. McDonaid, camo up to them. One of the ladiee—Virginia Stewart—made the remark that ‘#he wisbed he would keep away from her, ss she did not want to talk to him.” On this, MoDenald turned partially around and took a large pistol out of the waistband of his pantaloons behind. On seeing thie the ladiee ballooed, and Virginia Siewart started fer the Brandreth Hotel sseps. McDonald pursued her botly, and just as she was in the act of ascending the svairs he fired the pistol at her, and she fell senseless on the steps. 1tben jumped upon him aad threw him oa ‘the steps, and beld him there unti! officer Roberts and G. B. Leaycraft, Health Warden of the Eighth ward, came and arres‘ed him. It should be etated that McDonald appeared to be fully etormined to destroy himself after he had accomplisuet the bloody deed, + about half » minute prior to his being seized by Mr. Vanranst he had the pistol pointed at his own bead. Me begged bard on being arrested for the Officers to set his arms at liberty, but they persisted in holding him fast uatil he was lodged aad disarmod in the station house. After baving gleaned this information, our reporter pro- ceeded to the Eighth ward station houge, where, through the courtesy of Captain Turnbuil, he was permitted to view the prisoner. McDonald is @ remarkably five, gentlemanly looking person, standing about five feet eleven, and is apparently in the summer of life, or about thirty years of age, He wears a goatee, and presenta a commanding und portly appearance. Isappears that he was ‘Dorn in Kentucky or Georgia, where he was a merchaat Of some s'anding. He became acquainted with Virginia Stewart ir New Uriesns about seven years ago, during which acquaintance she kept a house of prostitu tion, McDonuld had two children by her, both of which died. About eight or ten days ago he and his mistress left Mobile for New York, he coming by the Weetern rouie, and she by another. Whon McDonald arrived in thie city be took up bis quarters at the Metro- Politan Hotel, and a few days since he iearced that hie mistrers was living with another man ia New York, at which he became very much incensed, On being con- ‘vinced of ber treachery, he formed the resolution to xiii her, and watched her movements day after day until no succeeded in effecting his object, as already detailed. SCENE AT THE STATION HOUSE. On beirg brought to the station house, a large revolver srda bowie knife were taken from the prisoner The ro voiver had five barrets, fonr of which remained loaded. On being interrogated, he said he had been on @ spree, and that as his victim bad been the ruin of his happiness he had shot, and did intend to shoot her. Tho murderer appeared to bein a very nervous, stu ified etate in bis cell a the station house. He sent for he captain after he bad been in about half an hour, and requested him to communicate his poeitien to Colonel Dougias, at the Metropolitan Hotel. The following letier was found tn the prisoner's posses. Biou by the police, directed to John W. Smith, Mobile, Alabama:— My Drar Jony—I am shout to commit that which wilt Betonweh you and moet of my friencs in Mobile. Ihave Jeft some iestructions with Myrers.

Immediately after the sad affair the wounded woman ‘wae conveyed tothe City Hoapital, where Dr. Quinby mace an examination of the wound, with the following re Bult:—The ball entered two inches vertically above the outer angie of the left eye, producing a fracture of ths pkulland a wound largeouough to admit the top of the finger, through which tue brain protruded and escaped. In probing the wound the probe entered two inches ints the eudstunce of the brain, but no trace of the bulle: could be found, She was perfectly senseless when sho ‘was admitted to the horpital, but aftor a litsle time sho re covered £0 that Abo could open her oyes and tell her mame, At seven o’clock sho was still breathing, the two girls who had been in company with bor being at her bedside; but the Doctor eaid she could not Live over an hour. The two “ladies” who wore in company with Mac donaid’s mistress appear, on inquiry, to be two notori- ous courtesune, residing at 79 Marion street, where the wnfortunate victim aleo lived pinco she came to New York, Although one of the girls who had been in com- pany with her up to the timo of the murder said sho know all iho history of the murderer, yet no porsuasion could got her to reven! anything conserntog him, SPATEMENT OF THE PRISONER. About nino o'clock lost evening Alderman J. H. Brady bad an interview with the prisoner to his cell, when be made the following confession:— I am from Mobile, and have been living with thie woman five or #ix years; Ihave been qnite tn\imate with her, and she keeps a house of prostitution there; I was 20 wrapt up in ber that Icould mot shake her off, and I finally quitted Mobile and came to this city for the purpose of getting rid of her; she followed me for the doubie pur- pore of meeting me and obtaining girls to bring back with her to Mobile; 1 have followed the cotton shipping busi- nees for several yeers in Mobile and along the Mississippi river; I met this woman in Taylor’s saloon to day in com- pany with two other giris;I tried to persuade her to go away with me, but she refused; she bad been drinking freely; I have a brother mamei Macdonald, who has been serving as colonel. with Walker im Nicaragua; I sm a relation of Colonel Zachary Taylor; I have been #0 completely wrapt uo in this women that I bave lost all control over myself in consequerice of her actions, and could not carry on my business; suffering from the ex- citemont of rom, I carried a pistol and dirk, which I was never in the habit of doing in my sober moments; at Tay- lor’s saloon we had some words; she persisted in refusing t» come with me, and when we had got as faras the Brandreth Botel I shot her. The prisoner appeared to be laboring under groat mea- ‘al euffering when our reporter visited him at ten o’clook ast night, and leaned his head against the bare of his ceil 48 if & cool his overtasked brain. Several influential merchan's from Mobile, and othera stopping at the Metropolitan Hotel, visited him during the uight.” ANOTHER AQOOUNT OF THE MUBDER. About five o’clock yesterday afternoon a cold blooded murder wae committed upon the steps of the Brandreth dovee, corner of Canal sireet and Broadway, by a gentie- man’ named Robert C, McDonald, a merebunt of Mobile, Alabama. It appears that ® woman named Virginia Stewart had formerly been living with him as hie mis- tress, when, suspecting her of infidelity, they parted. 4s Miss Stewart was passing the Brandreth House, in company with two other ladies, they met McDonald, who no sooner gaw them than be at once acoused Mies Stewart of being untaitnful, and called her a prostitute, This oc- curred pear the main entrance to the Brandreth House. McDonald then put his hand into his breast and drew a revolver, Miss Stewart, suspecting his purpose, rushed up the stepe, but before she could reach the door, one of the barrels was fired with unerring aim, the ball entering the left temple. The unfortunate woman was tnen seen to throw up her arms and fall insensible upon the steps. The body was removed to ® drug store adjoming, and thence to the Hospital. After firing the shot McDonald attempted to shoot him- self, but was prevented by the police and bystanders, and taken to the Eighth ward station house, The revolver is one of Col’s middle sized, witb only one barrel discharged. A splendid dirk, mounted with silver, with an ivory handle, was also found about his person, This was about ten or twelve inches in length, aud on the case, in large gilt capital letters, were the initials J.X.L, He appeared quite cool when he arrived at the ‘siation house, and stated that the reason he shot her was that she wes untaitbfal to him. Robert C. McDonald is # native of Moble, Alabama, and has been staying at the Metropolitan Hotel, in to's city, for the last ten or twelve days. He is about forty years of age. ‘Mies Virginia Stewart is a native of Massachusetts, about tuirty years of age, and very goodflooking. She has had two children by McDonald. Corgiderabie excitement was created around the Bran- dreth House by this meiancholy affair, and in afew mi- nutes hundreds of persons had surrounded the drug store in wo ch Mies Stewart was, or followed the murderer to the Eighth ward station house, in Wooster street. The veil cf the lady was saturated with blood, as wasaizo her Gress. 70 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Branxpreru House, July 28, 1859, Lest there ebould be any misunderstanding in regard to the unfortunate occurrence in front of my hose to-day, I desire to state that none.of the pariics concerned were in apy way connected with this house, Thé lady was sho directly tp front, as she was passing down Canal street, and fell over on to my door steps. There was an untrue report that the parties belonged here; if such ahould be continued in circulation it would injure me. [ trast therefore, that the report given will speak of the locaiity as being accidental. . @. E Proprietor of the Brandreth House, POSTCRIPT. ‘TWELVE 0’OLock P. M.

Barnard, « distinguished officer of the United States Military Engineers, who has charge of tho construction of an important portion of the fortidcations of this harbor, feeling that many erroneous aud mischievous uotions were beimg propagated respecting our system of coast protection, particularly as applied to this pors, ad- dressed, last winter, to the Secretary of War, a very lucid and comprehensive report upon the ‘‘ Davgers and De- fences of New York,” which was called for in the Senate by Governor Seward; but not being furnished in time for pubjication by thut body, our Chamber of Commerce, in view of the vas: importance of the subject treated of, has printed it for the information of our citizens. The dangers which we bad escaped in 1812-15, in our war with a great maritime Power, warned the nation of the importance of defending our sea coast, avd, accord- ingly, in 1813, this great subject was committed to our able Board of Engineers. In 1820 it designed all then deemed necessary for closing the two gates to this har- bor—et the Narrows and Throgg’s neck—and for protect- ‘ng the outer bay against a blockading floet. Since that time modificutions and increased defences have beon deemed necessary by our engineers; but the prodigious growth of this city, and the coloasal means of maritime at- tack devised of late years and first put into play during the Jate Eastern war, have outmarched, with their giant strides, our existing or even contempiated defences; so that in truth, notwithstanding we have been, fora third of a century, piling up bastioas and bat. teries which can mount 726 channcl-beoring guns, wo are relatively weaker than we were in 1812. Then wo had only to fear come marauding Cockburn, or a sailing ‘leet of afew frigates and liners; but now New York has be. come the Sebastopol or Cronstadt of the nation, whereoo fifty ewitt steamers and 6,000 guns may be conceatrared for the great ttrategic contest of w war. Upon our great, mariiime seats of population, wealth and nower will the enemy’s blows fall heaviest, pariicvlariy upon the great Outieis of our resources and depota of supplies, auch ag New York, New Orleans, and San Franciseo, eepoctally the rst. “The mere defence of this city against ordinary fleota,”? eeys Mejor Barnard, “is no looger the question; but Ub) ough the deteprive works to be here e-ected the nation re to measure Its atrength against the moos lavieh nse of the resources of a great maritime Power, aided by all that modern eclevce and mechavica! ingenuity in creating oF ‘oventipge means of attack cin bring agalot them ; in short, tn fortitying New York we are really provaring the bettie Deld on which the iawue of future momentous con- vate ts vo be decided,”” From no fait of our system of fortifications, nor lack of diligence of onr engingers, does this pret dacger to our city and the pation arise, but from the want of material aid FO parsimonious y doled out (at an average rate of lees ‘bay $100,000 por wnnum for wil our Works from Sandy cok to Throgg’# Neck) by Congress, which hus neither sympathy for batieries which figns not *t the polls, nor tor tbe masterly inactivity of stone walla which do nut at- teud conventions. Soall we coptinuc to trust this great question to politi. cians and spolismen, or sdall the citizens of oar commer Cial Metropolis demand protection of Coogroes from the sbonderbolt whick may fall upon us at avy moment?

The defenovs of thie city, therefore, is not a local but a groat national question, upon which hapg the momentous iesues of peace ond war, and of that which is above all price, the honor of our flag and tbe inviolability of oar soil. How, it will mt onco be aaked, can we cecape this en- lamity? Is there any modo of vealing oar barcor against a foreign foe? Notwithstanding tho doubts entertuued, even in high places, of our system of defence, we tenk | cur defcienvies exist in the amount, and not tae kind of propoved provection, Every waritume mation of the viv- tized word bas maiaiy reiied upon foruleations for par- bor defence, and ab this day France is lavisning millions vpon Dunkirk, Canis, Bouiogne, Dieppe, Havee, Cae dourg, Breet, Recbefort, Meresilies aud Coulon, while the consws Of the Baltic snd Mediterranean are bristliug with forts aud castles, aod Albion even trusts not Ler sea girt shores to the rafeguard alone of ber coloasal nayy a0 the broad mont which surround her fortress tive, [a the last seven years Austria has spout not loas than $24,090,000 to mke Pola the Sevastopol of the Adriatic, The ation, whether = the comet eur ‘hint setanen ‘shoals be Leal leriee, or fortifications, has bees enty “tiie of Coogteens y eiatngs r ie ens, man Slears, teak we 40’ ues it pecewsary the iets of that controversy.

The capture of Kinburn, an ill-designed, Dadly constructed and dilapidated work, was an apparent, pone ‘Lota real exception, as all candid students, naval imait. 3 ‘Whatever! Mejor Bareard recat justly “‘can be drawn from this contest of insignificant 7 works, armed with low celivres, against such overwhelm- ing means of attack as were bere a: ; unless, indeed, it be thie (a fact before well known), that for low sites (similar to the location of most of our own fortifica- tions) open batteries are the most inefficient of all. Tae fort of Kinburn surrendered, not because it was breached, Bot because its defenders were so far diminiabed by their sorses as to be unable to protract the contest, but simply because the guns and gunners, exposed in all porsioie ‘ways, were put hors-de-combzt, ant the calibres were in. capable of doing any great damage to the vessels at tho distance they were stationed.” jojor Berbard, baving demonstrated in the first part of his able paper that our enginvers bave fully understood ‘their business in erecting the kind of fortifications which constitute the basis of our system of detence, proceeds in the second part to show that the lessons taught us recently by the great Powers of Europe warn us that the extent of our preparations is altogether inadequate vo our necessi- ties, particularly for this commercial capital of our country, and arsenal of allthe materiel for successfully conducting a war. “ Our own great maritime places,”’ says he, “ would be the points at which alone an Kuropean enemy could hove to strike great blowse—New York pre-e ninently. It i is loft undefended, or is inadequately defended, ite immenge commerce, its rich depote of wealth and mili- tary and naval resources, the lives and property of its Citizens, will be, throughout the whole period of the war, ‘at an uppitying enemy’s mercy, and the national honor will suffer an indelible stain by such a degradation of its commercial emporium. If defended as it should be, its defences must be to grapple with such arma. ‘ments s5 we know 6an and will be brought against it; and upon the success of the coutent—immenuse conssquences perbaps—as at Sebastopol, the issue ef the war will depend.” in view of the vast stake at bazard, and “enlightened by previous labors of the soard of Zogineera and by the opinions of officers of experience,” Major recom- mends that an encmy’s flect should be held under aa overwhelming fire from its first approsching the outer bay throughout ite whole passage to the city, by worke at Sapay Hook, Romer Saoals, West Bank, Cony Island, addivional batteries below Fort Hemilton, and worke on Staten Island at the Narrows, Robbin’s Reef, and perfect: ing tbe defences of Governor's, Bedloe’s and Ellis’ Islands jn the inner harbor, For the East river approach, Fort Schuyler and tue new work for Wiliet’s Point suffice. To the pormbility of a land invasion across Long Island, Major Larnard attaches little importance. e idea of such a danger has nothing whatever of novelty in it. That the British army actually did land in Gravesend bay, defeat the Couticental forces under | Genorai Weehington, at Brooklyn, and capture New York, ie well known. That to prevent the repetition of such an | operation during the last war a @ boay of militia ‘Wor called out, is equally weil known; and the liability to & repetition of such an attack has been dwelt upon ia almort every cfflual paper treating of the defences of New York.’ * * * * * * * «A landing, in the face of such a force ag could speetily be copcoptrated (or rather, euch as always would be at bana in New York), ss an operation of great risk as well ae great labor, requiring special means and arrangementa, No enewy wili take this coureo so long as he can with his fices (or wiih vessels epeciaily adapted to the object) reach the city and efieot hie object witboot a lend: While, therefore, this lstter operation is open to au ene. while be can with his fleet, or the gunboute, or the floating batieriew of bie fleet, foros his way within ravge of tuo city from hia shell gaps or curved Bre, the question of Owbger from land attacks ein¥s into utter insignificance,’’ “The works to prevent this latter operation are of great maguivade, ae 1 have endeavored tashoer, requiring largo | amounts of money and much time to complete Thoee to prevent the former (land attack) are of a comparatively Aniviel character.” The landing upon either ehore of Long Istand and marening on Brooziyn, im the fave ol tke dense snd war- like population of New York, wita horde of New Baglaot volunteers crossiig wt Throgy’s Neck, under ube provection | of Fort Schuyler and Willots Polat work, and tne New Jer- rey ond Pennsylywne miliiw psasing the Narrows, covered by the forts where, thus threatening tae enemy's flanks ond retreet to hin eps, would be an operation that might wel! deant the boldest foe; bu! should 1t be no: cesenry to guerd againat the possidie contingency, earthen fiele works could be thrown up wcover our troops ina very bilef apace of time In ovory siege miles of troaches ars race mA night or two, aud vast entrenched iines are quick y conetru ted in wearly evcry campaign, A iss steamer Informs us thet Genera!
