have taken upon the spectacle-wearing public of Great Britain and the testimonials

A Drunken Headsman.
All Denmark, says the Copenhagen cor- respondent of the St. James’ Guzette, was thrilled by a general feeling of horror when the papers brought the details of the execu- tion of a crimina] in a provincial place the previous day— details which painfully re- mind one of the disgraceful manner in which Sofia Petrowskaya was executed last year at St Petersburg. According to the Dan- ish law criminals condemned to death suffer the last penalty of the law by decapitation by means of an axe, the bloek being placed at the most conspicuous place as near as possible to the place where the murder was committed. A man condemned to death was to be executed yesterday morning, and, as usual, a large crowd of peeple from the surrounding districts had assembled round the spot, ouly one constable being present to keep order. When the usual formalities were gone through, the criminal laid his head on the block; but the eye and the hand of the executioner, who had been drinking heavily on the previous day, were uncertain, aad the &8troke fell over both shoulders, the criminal uttering a smothered cry of pain. The executioner wrenched the axe out of the wound, wield- ed it again, and struck the criminal high up on the back of the head; again he wrenched the axe out of the wound, and succeeded at last in cutting the head oif. The crowd rushed tothe headless trunk, some to try to catch some drops of blood, which the peasants thinks has some kind of magical effect to cure certain diseases ; others to satisfy their morbid curiosity. In fact, a terrible and distinguishing scene took place in Denmark, and the Minister of Justice has already, with praiseworthy speed, declared his intention to bring in a short bill providing for execution by means of the guulotine and within the precincts of a prison, —--
Dr. Wiggins, who predicts a great storm disaster on the 9th of March next, lives in the province of New Brunswick. His pre- vious prophecies have ail been fulfilled. People south of the forty-fifth pareliel may wish that the doctor’s idea is incorrect, but weare assured that his neighbors regard him asa level-headed man and anything but a crank. He is the author of a work on astronomy and of one oa grammar.
The recent French acquisition of terri- tory on the Congo and the proposal to add thereto by purchase of the adjoining dis- trict from Portugal bas given rise to great apprehensions in mercantile circles in Liverpool, and an effort is being made to bring to the notice of the Government the danger threatening British trade on thie part of the African coast.
