The Lur.l Weliington packet, Captain Citassem
which came in with twenty-five passengers from

and residt.l Dieppe, as his interpreter. Mr. Phil-
lips let, Dieppe on l'hursday for Abbeville, where
Frederick was to join Ihm, and lie did so, bringing
with him a snail caar.olet, or one-horse cast, or
chaise. t c nvi!y them on their journey. They left
Abbeville in ttt, togetbt.r. taking the route
fcir r.,,,. The next day the PAM Mail Coach, which
puts. up at the hotel at Abbeville where Mr. Phillips
and Frederick stopped, brought a man's hat in, which
had been picked up on the road, the inside of which
Was bloody. This excited suspicions on the road—
the
Police was applied to, and several persons were
sent to exemine the place where the hat was found,
which was not Mee than two miles from the town.
The suspicions in the end were verified—Mr. Phil-
lips's body was found cold and stiff—the bead lite-;
rally crushed flat, apparently between two stones
which lay near him, the surfaces of which wens bloody,
mid contained a portion of his brain. The body was
borne to Abbeville, and Frederick appearing again
Were on the following day, be was seised, and sent
to prison. The subsetplent investigation has disclosed
Ib'at Frederick returned the cabriolet to Dieppe. where

Upon searching Frederick, twenty-fivelouis-d'ors,
tWo double and one single Napoleons, were found

The remains of the unfortunate Mr. Phillips were in-
terred at Dieppe on Friday last. Mrs. Phillips is
confined to her house there by indisposition, and the
shocking catastrophe has not yet been revealed to her.

A letter from Boulogne, dated October 10, says,
14 Some weeks have now elapsed since a malefactor,
whose atrocities in the history of human turpitude
have had no parallel, expiated his crimes under the
%eine:lce of an Assize Court in thiitown, by the gull-
**tine. Yet though he acknowledged on the scaffold
the commission of sixteen murders, and amongst his
victim' two English traveller., a marked silence has
been observed in the French Journals. This monster
bad not completed his 36th year. He mounted the
scaffold with a marked determination to shew that
steither the awful preparation, nor the cnnsciousness
of admitted crime, could in the lent effect the iten
temperament of his nerves—he was merely courteous
to the Clergyman who attended him ; and seemed
most solicitous to redeem the recollection of his une-
qualled turpitude by. the contempt of death, which
he certainly manifested."
The coach from Paris to Bayonne was lately at-
tacked by a band of eight robbers, six of whom were
armed with muskets. They made the driver and the
guard alight ; and after securing them, ordered the
passengers to get out. There were five passengers,
each of whom, as he stepped out of the coach, was
obliged to lie down on the gtonnd, and some of the
trbbers stood over them ready to fire if they stirred.
In she Mean time the coach was plundered, and
among other property. the sum of 20,000 francs, in
piastres, was carried off.
The view of that venerable ruin the cathedral of
St; Cuthbert, at Holy Island, has lately been very

the fallen .parts of the building being removed from
file windows, which tad for ages been bi,wked up ;
but must especially by the gtett western door of tht:
