PRIVATE SEANCES MEDIUMSHIP IN THE DAYS OF MOSES—CURIOUS PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS, -VOICE MANIFETSATIONS AND THEIR PRODUCTION—THOUGHT—READING -MANIFESTATIONS AT THE CAVENDISH ROOMS—A “DIALECTICAL" MEDIUM. ON Wednesday evening, February 23rd, at a séance held at the house of Mr. T. Everitt, 26, Penton-street, Pentonville, eight persons in all were present. Mrs. Everitt was the medium. Directly the sitting began, the floor of the room began to shake with a tremulous motion, which continued more or less for about half an hour ; once it was sufficiently strong to cause some of the furniture to rattle. Raps came upon the floor and upon the table, and spelt out short messages. The first message requested Mr. Peebles, who was present, to read from the Bible the sixteenth chapter of the first book of Samuel beginning at the fourteenth verse. The quotation begins with the following verses:  “But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. “And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee “Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well." The narrative then tells how David was brought to Saul, and the last verse says: “And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. Raps once more came upon the table, and requested Mr. Peebles to read also the eleventh chapter of Numbers, from 29th verse, as follows :  the 23rd to the “ And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord’s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. “And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle. “And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders; and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. “But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp. “And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. “And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. “And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake ? would to God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put His spirit upon them!" The raps then requested Mr. Peebles to offer up a prayer, which he did, thanking the Almighty for the privilege and the happiness, of permitting communication between mortals aud departed friends. Other messages were then spelt, and finally the spirits requested that a musical box in the room might be set going. All this time the vibrations of the floor continued. There was a good light in the room. The table, which was a large and heavy one, rectangular in shape, now and then moved and kept time with the tunes, without contact with human hands. When the music began, the patter of feet, or what sounded like feet, was heard dancing in splendid time to the music and this lasted for perhaps nearly twenty minutes, in the course of which time an arm chair with nobody touching it moved about slowly, and on one occasion made a run of fully six inches in the direction of the table. Then a request was made by raps that the light be put out. After fifteen or twenty minutes in darkness, by means of the direct spirit writing (described in another column) the message was given “You do not give us the right conditions to enable us to ?" It speak.” The inquiry was made “ What is the matter was then spelt out “ You are sleepy.” Two of the company then owned to being in that state, and one remarked that he did not know before that it was not a favourable condition, as passivity of the members of the circle is always advantageous. John Watt then took up the tube and touched several persons with it, after which his voice was heard, at first near the medium (who was in a mesmeric sleep), then floating about near one end of the table, afterwards close up to the ceiling over the centre of the table, and from that position he spoke during the rest of the evening, in a strong clear voice, which fell at intervals when the power weakened. In answer to questions, he said that he could not see common matter except by an effort of will-power, neither could he see the members of the circle. He could see the spirits of some of the members of the circle—such as were in his sphere—and the others he could see indistinctly, in consequence of his necessarily having, to some extent, taken upon himself some material conditions while producing the manifestations. He did not want to see common matter at that time, therefore he did not see it ; on much the same principle as a man looking at landscape through a window—he does not see the pane of glass, because he does not want to, yet he can concentrate his attention upon it if he likes. The spirits of all the persons
