YES, I DID IT ; I AM THE MAN. (The German expression used by the convict was, " Ich habe as gethan.") Almost at the same moment, and while the words were upon the lips of the wretched man, the drop fell, and Muller died without a struggle. , Dr:-Cappell nearly fainted. It is alleged that Muller stated to one of the Sheriffs a•day or two ago, that he was not on the. south side`of the river at all on the evening of the murder. Immediately after the execution, the Sheriffs despatched a communication to Sir George Grey, informing him that the culprit had confessed. A similar eonununication was also made to Sir R. Mayne, at Scotland ard.  The body after hanging till nine o'clock, was cut down; and will be buried within the precincts of the prison,  The following is another account of the closing scene :  "After being pinioned, Muller ascended the scaffold with a firm step, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Cappell, minister of the German Lutheran Church in Alie Street, and the Rev. Mr. Davis, and as he did so the multitude, on his being confronted with them, raised a mighty and indescribable hum. There were some cries of Where's Townley?' After the convict had been placed upon the drop, and the rope adjusted round his neck, Dr. Cappell, addressing him with great animation and solemnity said, In a few moments, Muller, you will stand before God. I ask you again, and for the last time, are you guilty or innocent?' He replied, 'I am innocent.' Dr. Cappell said, You are innocent?' repeating his 'own words in the form of a question. Muller answered, 'God Almighty knows what I have done.' Dr. Cappell— 'God Almighty knows what you have done?' again repeating the convict's own words. Does God know you have done this particular deed?' Muller replied, Yes, I have done it,' speaking in German, in which language the German expression used by the convict was-- 'lch babe es gethan." Christ have mercy upon your soul,' cried Dr. Cappel as the drop fell. Muller answered—' My God, I feel sure of it.' There was scarcely an instant from the time he confessed to the time the drop fell. He trembled during the last moment or two, and when he fell he was convulsed a little, but he seemed to die almost at once. _  "So greatly relieved wag the rev, gentlemm by the  confession that he rushed from the scaffold, exclaiming Thank God, thank God,' and sank down in a chair completely exhausted by his own emotion. After recovering, he repeated in English, in the presence of the Sheriffs and Under-Sheriffs, and the representatives of the newspaper press, of whom there were four, what had just passed between him and the convict precisely. as it has been related above. "As a proof of the unprecedented excitement created, it may be mentioned that more than one German Government bad been moved by the London German Societies to make representations for a respite of the criminal; but, as might have been anticipated, they had no influence with the English authorities." The convict has left behind him a written and sealed document, which has been placed in the hands of the Sheriffs, but who forbear for the present to make it ' public, after his confession on the scaffold, until they Shall have reported the fact to the Court of Aldermen at their meeting to-day (Tuesday).  It is said the expenses of the Muller trial incurred by Government were about 400, and by the German Defence Association £3OO.  The Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., the Home Secretary, arrived in London on Saturday, from Falloden, Northumberland.
