present were of neccessity in the spirit world. Spirits can read the thoughts of each other and of mortals, but not at all times thoughts are words to spirits in the same sphere. Spirits have the power of concealing their thoughts if they like, and of concealing themselves at will by passing into another state. He produced the voice manifestations by forming a kind of lungs out of the cinanations from the members of the circle; he did not use any of the organs of the medium, not even the lips, but only her breath. He also used some of the breath of the persons present, which was why he often put questions to those who were silent, to keep them talking, so as to furnish him with more power. He wished that people would not come in a desultory way to spirit circles, but that a few would attend regularly to receive a steady course of instruction and information ; very little knowledge was gained, and much time wasted, under present conditions. His reward for the work of producing the manifestations was the consciousness of doing good. When very great names of very high spirits, such as Moses, Michael Angelo, Bacon, and so on, are given through mediums, these spirits are not in direct communi cation with the medium, but the message passes down through a chain of mediums among the spirits, till at last it reaches the recipient, and is often much coloured by the channel through which it has passed. Sometimes low spirits assume great names, and give them for purposes of deception. In answer to questions put by Mr. Peebles, he said that he did not hear any raps at the public service at the Cavendish Rooms on the preceding Sunday evening. Such manifesta tions he did not mind on a week night, but he thought it best to omit them on Sunday. Many of the spirits were of the same opinion in this matter, but he did not know whether all were. One disadvantage was, that if they continued the rappings, strangers would come there and imitate them, and get found out, so as to throw discredit on the real manifesta tions. As Mr. Peebles did not like the idea of answering questions put by the audience at the close of the Sunday evening meetings, after the listeners had been brought into a serious train of thought, it was worth consideration whether those present should not be invited to write the questions they wished to ask, on the understanding that he would answer them from the platform at the beginning of the follow ing Sunday evening. After a little more conversation the séance was closed, by John Watt pronouncing a benediction and saying, “ Good night, dear friends, good night." Dr. Dixon and Mrs. Dixon, of Great Ormond-street, were present at this séance. On Wednesday evening, March 2nd, at a meeting of Mrs. C. Berry’s circle, a gentleman, a member of the Dialectical Society, whose name we have no permission to publish, and who three weeks since was developed into a medium, was en tranced, and made to go through some operatic singing. A spirit also spoke through him, and expressed the greatest sur prise and awe, at finding himself back surrounded once more by the conditions of earth-life. When in his normal state, the gentleman said that since the development of his medium ship, the spirits had made him speak on phrenology, a subject he knew nothing about ; they had also made him speak in foreign languages, of which, in his ordinary condition, he knew not a word. One day, the spirits entranced him against his will, in presence of some of the other members of the Dialectical Society. Mr. PERRIN said that a vast multitude of spirits out of the body, like those in the body, do not believe that communica tion between the two worlds is possible ; hence when one of these makes the trial, and finds himself back again, it is na tural to be awestruck and overwhelmed. Some spirits in the other world, like some still in earth-life, think it wicked to communicate with their friends. In the course of the evening John King and Ambo made their voices heard, and a short and quiet conversation fol lowed.
