HIGHLY INTERESTING STATEMENTS.

To a gentleman who has seen him several
times during his Imprisonment, Phillips
made some Interesting statements not con-
tanned in the confession read on the scaifold,
as it was thought unnecessary to burden
that document with details. Hc said he
started from Essex with vague purpose of
Kidding himself of his wife, but had not
formed any idea OF how or where the deed
cd Richmond. He had told her that he
"was going little way below town to Get
work." On their walk to the scene OF death,
she noticed his confusion and absence Of
mind, and remarked, s.,,.-. j:

the circumstances Of the crime. He was
particularly astonished at his failure to
throw the body into one of tho old deserted
wells in that vicinity, where it might for
ever have eluded identification, if not dis
cOVery; and he was equally at q loss to ac-
count for his singular conduct i'm lingering
about the spot where the bloody deed was
committed, which resulted in his wife's
body being brought to the very house (Nfr.

Dickinson. The ministers then descended
from the scalold and left the enclosure. i
THE DEATH LEAP.
His spiritual advisers and friends having
bade him farewell forever, the final prepa-
rations were begun. The prisoner was bid
to stand up. This he did with but little ap-
parent trepidation, and with the same calm
demeanor that he had borne since first he
mounted the scafold. At this point MIR.
Walsh stepped forward. and said that the
condemned had requested him to state that
he had no ill-fceling against any one, par.
ticularly the sheriff. Sheriff Smith advanced
and said that he had further requested him
to state that he was at peace with allman-
kind. i s5gi
MIR. Walsh removed his hands from In
front OF him to his back, where he hand
cuffed them. Sheriff Smith In. the mean
time remained in earnest conversation with;
him. Phillips repeated toS him the assu-
RANGES that he entertained no unkind feel
ings towards him. His arms being PIN
iOIed, Mr. Walsh drew q bsaek eambric

LUxEMBoURG.-The little duchy which
Prussia next proposes to appropriate has
an area of about | 200 miles, and a popula-
tion of nearly four hundred thousand in-
dustrious and prosperous people. 1t Is
governed by the King Of Holland, who is
Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and in this
latter capacity is member OF the Germanic
Confederation. Up to 1866 it was occupied
by PrusSlan garrison, and about that time
Napoleon offered to buy 1t from the King
of Holland, who was eager to accept the
bargain. Prussia, however, stepped in and
forbade the transaction, and tor while
there was the appearance of war
