Mr. BRODERIP, after I, .eAring evidence, sentenced Dean to pay the full pen4ty of .j/, to the King.  At ap_ early hour yesterday morning a ecrviio..erable number of " amateurs" assembled in front of N' of/I-Irate, eager to witness the spectacle of a fellow-eroato* :e quttting 614 we:rid by the hands of ttie hangman, with Isis bead." It was e:)teted that Pcgsv north, the unhappy t4e murderer, would have . been exec 4; but no preparations being discerned as the morning advt. I' • all his sins upon teed, the humane and kind-hearted assemblage departed to their respective homes and avocations, apparently labourinci under strong feelings of  disappointment.  he hours or 1.0 and 11 Yesterday morning, betw,:en f o'clock, a young girl, na-iled w Jack sou, daghter 6' a tailor in Union-street, Sorfnark, ran int 6 the 4 street with her clothes on fire. g.:veral individual s who were passing rushed. to her assisf:uco, and suceeedee after sonic difficulty in clucrichi:4g the flames. tiospital, where dcath !nit at; sat:rings about ten . , e •4 4 to her iTiiilliNO Aftq' lisr Rdlll4Sioll .t . i 4, She v.; conveyed to St. Thomas's  " Let the TOAST be dear Woman!"—One of our Exeliange papers contains an account of a drunken fellow, who placed Ilia wife before a fire, with the intention of roasting her into a declaration as to where she had hid his rum bottle. Though unusually warm, Fhe declined and screamed. Friends cam( to her assistance, and the brutal husband was thoroughly Lbnched on the spot, being generously provided with a coat and vest of tar, and feathery inexpressibles.

Wno ARE You ?—A Mrs. Farnum, who lives down East, has latterly been always asking the way home whenever she walks out ; occasionally she requests to be introduced to her own husband; and every two or three weeks she mahes acquaintance with her own children. But on a more recent occasion she actually forgot herself; and knocking at her own door, she inquired " Pray does Mrs. Farnum live here ?" Whereupon her astonished Help (Anglice—maid) took up bundle and made tracks at once ;—for as to living with a double woman, one half of whom came to inquire for the other half—it Was more than she could undertake.
