      Jx a draha recently represented , the head of a victim of the tyrant of the piece was to be presented to him ia a dish , on a table , and covered with a napkin . All the preparations were most ingeniously made for this awful spectacle . The head vis to be a real one , and the actor , who was to perform the part of the decapitated person , had to thrnst his head through an aperture in the back scene , and lay it in the dish , painted so as to make a ghastly appearance . This was done ; the tyrant had raised the napkin , and the audience were sll becomingly horrified , when the dead man ' s head replied to the tirade , which Ms murderer was in the act of delivering , by a violent fit of sneezing , which at once turned the scene into a ludicrous farce , and the house rang with laughter . Some wag who had admission behind the scenes had sprinkled the blood-stained dish with a quantity of snuff .

      Destructive Fires . —On Sunday morning an extensive destruction of property by fire took place on Hie premises of Messrs . Dennis and Son , Tooley-Etreet , Borough , by which the whole stock of liuendrapery , a 3 well as the building , were consumed . The flames first burst out in the shop , and immediately afterwards a strong police force of the M division under Inspector Yates reached the spot , quickly followed by several engines , but no water could be procured till three o ' clock , the fire having been extending for nearly an hour , by which time the whole

      of Messrs . Dennis s stock was completely destroyed . The two adjoining houses , in the occupation of Mr . Whitfield , a grocer , and Mr . Aliea , architect , were considerably damaged , and the shop front opposite , the Norfolk eating-house , the houses of Mr . Down , a tea-dealer , and Mr . Crew , a hair-dresser , were all more or- less damaged . All the inmafe 3 escaped , and fortunately most of the property destroyed is insured . —About half-past one o ' clock another fire troke out in the shop of Mr . Dickson , High-street , Stepney , a stationer and shoemaker , which for a time tli ! iitened the total destruction of the

      bnilding and stock ; but fortunately the Wellclose-square knd oiher engines were promptly on the spot , and jivater having been abundantly supplied from the pains in the neighbourhood , the damage was confined to a partial destruction of the stock in the Bhop . It is not known how the fire originated . Mr . jDieksun is insured in the Globe fire-office . The police were very efficient on the occasion , and rendered file firemen much valuable assistance . Os Saturday forenoon , the Liverpool telegraph ¦ nnousced that the steam-ship Liverpool , Captain jfcigiedew , and the packet-ship Oxford , Captain Pathbone , were off the Great Ormshead , about forty poiles from Liverpool . The packet-ship Independence had been previously reported as within an

      aur's sail of the port . A . s the day of the Oxford ' s dlingwas the 19 th of December , it was supposed tat the Liverpool could not have sailed on the 14 th , i had been advertised , but that she must have beea stained beyond that date a week or ten days . The xford . however , landed her bags first , when it was tcertained thai wind had beat steam for eucc , the iterpooi having Bailed on the 15 th , and the Oxford kthe 20 th of December . It appeared that on the fth , the day after she left New York , the steamer iconntered a violent gals from the N . N . W . It as accompanied by so tremendous a sea , that it as necessary to put the vessel before the wind for renty-fourfaonrs , just as it had been found neeesjy to put the British Queen before the wind on

      e 15 th for the same space of time . From the 1 / th the 27 th there was a continued succession of rong easterly gales . As these still continued , and ere appeared no well-grounded hope of their abateent , while the vessel was at least 1 , 200 miles from ipe Clear , Capiain Engledew deemed it prudent to joceed direct to Fayal , wh ? ch was within two iys steaming , and where the Transatlantic Steam-» p Company have a depot of coal . The Liverpool Jived at Faval on the 30 th of December . She reiined there " three days , and took on board tlireo bdred tons of coal . The passengers are highly based with the conduct and exertions of the gallant fcmander , to whom they have sent a flattering kimonial of their approval .

Jacob ' s child , were the only persons left in the house . At present there is no satisfactory evince how the fire originated , but it is supposed the female servant went to turn the beds down with a candle m her hand , and by that means accidentally set fire to the curtains .

      „ by some person , and carried to Mis 9 M'Lean ' s . The fire m the first half-hour had gained such an ascendancy , in consequence of the want of water , that it was manifest the building must fall a sacrifice , as well as the house adjoining , occupied by Mr . SpoDg Lvery exertion was made to stop the fire from communicating with it , but the flames were not to be subdued , and the house in question Boon ignited and in three quarters of an hour the two houses were in full blaze . At last water was obtained , and the Sun and Kent engines , which were soon on the spot were put into requisition , and the fire was subdued ' about ten o ' clock . Too much praise cannot be bestowed on tha inhabitants and the military who seemed to vie with each other in rendering assistance The property 13 insured in the Sun Fire-office the houses are insured in the Norwich . The amount of damage is not known , but it is supposed to be from £ 3 , 00 ( 1 to £ 4 , 000 .

      Savage Conduct . —At the Braintree Petty Sessions , on Wednesday , a . fellow named Overall and another named Joyce , were brought up for the following brutal conduct to a young man : —William White , of Great Saling , stated that on the 5 th of October he was leaving a public-house , followed bv the prisoners , who wauted to pick a quarrel with him , and three times tripped him up . Whilst lying on the ground Overall kicked him with his irontipped shoes , until he broke his leg completely in half ; and then , seizing him by the shattered limb dragged him by it along the road for a considerable distance , until the monster was beasen off by a person , the other prisoner and his brutal companions refusing to rescue the sufferer from the ferocious monster . The Bench sentenced Orerall to pay a fine of £ 5 , and the other man 40 s ., or two and ono month ' s imprisonment . —Chelmsford Herald .

      Commencement of tub Pesky Postase — The number of letters dispatched by the mails from the metropolis on Friday , was much greater than had been expected ; it amounted to 112 , 000 . The daily average for January , 1839 , having been about 30 , 000 only . Of this large number of letters , 13 , 000 or 14 , 000 only wero unpaid . The number brought into London by the morning mails of Saturday , was nearly 80 , 009 . a largo portion of which , as all frsm Ireland and Scotland , and the remote parts of England , would , of course , be at the fourpenny rate . — Morning Chronicle . Opesiso ok Lbtters—Religions Persecution . —A case of religious persecution has lately come to our knowledge , which we deem right to make Dublin

      A eertam baronet rcsidingTiot a hundred miles from Oakley Park , iu the county of Suffol k , some time ago hired a gardener named Gaunt , with whom he was quite satisfied . Shortly after Gaunt entered the baronet ' semploymentjaCatholicclergymanaddressed a letter to Gaunt , which by some unlueky chance first came into the hands of Sir Edward or his son , and was , we shall suppose , inadvertentl y opened by one of them . Having read the letter , they unfortunately discovered , for the first time , that Gaunt was a Catholic . This was enough , and the poor man and his wife received instant notice to quit , and were forced away accordingly ! Of course every man is entitled to hire and dismiss his servants at pleasure , but it appears questionable whether the Baronet can

      justify himself in acting upon the information obtained in the surreptitious and extraordinary manner stated . There is still another feature in the case which adds to its deformity—it is this , that the receipt of the letter was concealed from the poor gardener , and it was not until the author of the letter wrote to Sir Edward that Gaunt could obtain delivery thereof . It was received at Oakley Park on the 2 , 1 th of September , and not handed to Gaunt till the 9 th of October . Death Extraordisart . —On Friday , th » 27 th of December last , of atrophy and consumption , aged three yeara and a half , iu the garret , in Bridgestreet , whero it was born , the Wuig-Chartkt newspaper , known to the proprietors under the name of the North Cheshire Reformer . From its very birth

      the deceased had been a weakly paper , and no one had ever been under the care of so many doctors . It had been attended at different periods ef its sickly existence by Doctors James aHd Henry Coppock , Dr . Ackland , and Dr . Hunt , none of whom seemed to do it any good , and latterly by any quack who chose to be at the trouble of prescribing for it . It was net until last Thrsday se ' nnight that the symptoms began to assume a decidedly mortal appearance . Its circulation was then very low , and towards the last it became quite delirious . It raved in the wildest manner about the national debt

      , church rates , the vote by ballot , extension of the suffrage , and other questions of publio interest ; but the subject of which it talked the oftenest and maddest was the " corn law ? . " Towards eleven o'clock it became visibly worse , and grew gradually worse and worse until about two o ' clock in the morning , when it expired , to the great joy of the printer's devil , who was quite tired of sitting up with it . Its remains were interred last Alonday but one in the new dissenters' joint stock cemetery , and it is said that there are unsold newspapers enough left to pay all the necessary funeral expenses . —Stockport Advertiser .
