All thi s was accurately ful e . As the duration of her natural sleep increased, so did that of her mesmeric sleep diminish. Her last fit was en December 2, and continued but five minutes—all exactly as she had predicted on Oct. 24. On January 21, she said, in sleep-waking as usual, that a sleep of five days would greatly benefit her, and gave directions for deepening her sleep to the utmost on the fourth day by Mr. Fradclle placing his hands on her head for 10 minutes, and breathing on the backs of his hands at the time : that she would have tl a appearance of death, but he must not be alarmed. All thfs was done„ and from the fourth day, at 9 30 a.m., to the fifth, at 11 30 a.m., though she was constantly watched at the infirmary, she did not make the faintest movement. Up to the beginning of this deep sleep and after it she followed her usual daily habits. On Feb. 1 she felt better and brighter than she had been for five years : her memory had returned, and her right arm and leg were strong again. She left us well Feb. 15, and is now in perfect health: has twice walked 12 miles in a day, though she never in her life had been able to walk more than four or five. One of her country medical attendants told her " she must be out of her mind to believe that Mesmerism had benefited her, much less cured her : that he would not be lieve it if he saw it, and thought it the work of the devil himself." Another told her father that "tire cure was owing to change of air." Change of air to London !, and where she so long in vain was in a hospital I Epilepsy with Prediction.—Clara Wright, aged IS, of No. 12, Orange-street, Gravel-lane Southwark, came to us Oct. 6, 1859. Four years previously, while very weak after a low fever for 16 months, she was terrified and had a suc cession of epileptic fits ; and afterwards three or filth- daily, of a very violent kind, for nine months. She had a double squint., occasioned by the .fits. Jan. 27 she predicted that her next fit would take place on the 30th, and be her last. This proved true. Attempts were made to remove her squint by Mesmerism March 8. They partially succeeded, and she foretolelin sleep-waking that they would completely succeed if repeated twice more. She proved correct. She had no fit after Jan. 30, and left us June 6, free from the headaches, tremblings, giddiness, pains near the heart and coldness of the lower extremities, with all which she had been distressed for some years. Epilepsy with Prediction.—Mary Ann Raven, 5, 11 enry s'reet, Blandford-square, aged 19, was . seized with epilepsy after a gross insult; and also suffering great pain in her left side. Mr, Fradclle took her in hand Feb. 26. On March 23 she predicted that the pain would leave her iu two days : and it did. She continues perfectly cured of all her complaints, and stronger than before her illness. Epilepsy with Prediction.—Jemima Honey, aged 27. of 32, Great College-street, Camden-town, a lady's n aid, camel() us Oct. 2, 1856. She had been epileptic for 18 months from a fright, and had been treated by medical men in vain. She had some slight attacks on Feb. 2d and March 16th. She had no more fits, but was liable to faint ings, the periods and number of which she accurately fore told. On March; 1860, we learn that she is well in all re • spects, and has had no sort of attack. Epilepsy.---Madarne Hortense Angeline, aged 50; go verness, living at No. 19, Weymouth-street, came to us Oct. 20, 1859. - She had suffered from epilepsy during 1.5 years,_ brought on by anxiety. f•he had been under medi cal treatment for 13 years. On the 13th of April she con sidered herself cured, and she is quite well at this moment. Epilepsy with Predictiou.—Mary Jane Brennans, aged to, of 1, Gould's-hill, Shadwell, was a d m itt e d Oct'. 19th, 1859, under Mr. Charles Fisher. She was terrified by a boy in a sheet knocking at the street . door, and standing before her in a sheet when she opened it. Epilepsy began the same night, and returned almost every day since. She went ,t.o sleep the first time, and having no fit for a month was unf,rtunately withdrawn by her friends, the distance being very great. But she had an attack in a month, and she was brought back Dec. 21st, She was quite well when we heard of her, May 30th. Palsy of Half the Face.—Mrs. Elizabeth Pilon, 2, Titchfield-street, Oxford-market, aged 20, became ear patient, May 16, 1:60, with her face drawn down to the right side, and inability to close her left eye, so that the tears ran down her cheek. It was a palsy of a portion (poetic) (Tara) of the left nerve of the seventh pair of the nerves of the brain. She with difficulty made herself dis tinctly understood. All this had happened suddenly, May 2, and the medical man, who was instantly sent for, blistered the back of her neck without benefit. He told her she could not recover in less than twelve months. She then went to a hospital, and had blisters behind each ear, and was so punished, to use her own words, that she could not move her head, and all without effect. On her arrival at the Infirmary she was in great pain; but this entirely ceased after she had been mesmerised by Mr. C. Fisher for about twenty minutes. On the 23d the palsy was much lessened, and she could talk and eat with the greatest ease ; her face was nearly free from distortion. On June the sth she considered herself well. Mesmerism is generally sue cesefal in this kind of palsy. Chronic Bronchitis and Asthma.—Michael Madden, aged 55, fruitseiler, of 16, Plumtree-court, Holborn-hill, caught a violent cold by frequently getting wet through in August. He grow worse and worse in regard to cough, expectoration, difficulty of breathing, and inability to lie on the right side for pain. lie consulted two different medi cal men and attended at a dispensary; but grew worse. He came to us July 6, 1859, and left us on the 23d perfectly well, to go hop-gathering in the country. He was an hour and a half the first day in walking to the Infirmary, but, after local mesmerisation of his chest for three-quarters of an hour by Mr. Fradelle, he walked back in halt an hour. We could relate many other cures, and of diseases aot of the nervous system but of various kinds. They would have been far more numerous, but few patients persevere long enough to have any chanc e o f being cured or much benefited. Our books shew that at our last report we had 49 patients, and have had since then 193 ; so that 242 have been treated during the year. Of these 33 are under treat ment at present. 138 have ben cured or improved, and 71 unimproved ; but of the latter very many came but a few flares, and some only once or twice. Witnessing what we witness, we blush for the medical world who have been holding out against the splendid philosophical truths and the equally splendid remedial powers of mesmerism. To us this is of no importance. But we regret it for the sake of mankind, and for the character of the medical pro fession. Mr. AIAGENDIr. said it gave him the greatest pleasure to second the ad6ption of the report. He congratulated the meeting on the great progress of the institution, which must be a great satisfac tion to the mind of its benevolent founder, Dr. Elliotson, persecuted as he had been. (Loud cheers.) He had persevered in his hunjone and beneficent design, through good and evil report, and he thought he was deserving the admiration of all, for most assuredly he had exerted himself for the benefit of mankind more than any living man. (Loud cheers.) The adoption of the report was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. WING moved "that Dr. Purland and Mr. Kite, who go out of office by rotation, be re elected on the council, and as Mr. Henry Goff and Mr. Rawe going out by rotation are unable to at tend, that Mr. H. B. Poland, barrister, and Mr. Decimu3 Hands, surgeon, be elected in their stead and Dr- Slight in that of Mr. Henry Skipper, who is also unable to give his constant attendance." The resolution having been seconded was carried unanimously. Mr. POLAND in returning thanks for his election said, although that was his first appearane on the platform, he had long been a firm believer in the truth of mesmerism, and also that it would ulti mately triumph over all prejudice and opposition. (Cheers.) On the motion of Dr. PURLAND, a vote of thanks was passed to Sir F. Goldsmid for the benefits he had conferred on the institution. The CHAIRMAN said, with the greatest feelings of pleasure ho rose to move a vote of thanks to Dr. Elliotson. He was their ,great champion— (cheers)—ever ready to do battle for them, and it was to his great energy and undaunted courage that they had arrived at their present satisfactory position. The motion was carried in the most enthusiastic manner. Dr. ELLIOTSON, on coming forward to return thanks, with evident emotion, said he was very averse to public speaking. He was not made for it. His speciality was work. (Loud cheers.) On the present, as on former occasions, he could only heartily thank the meeting for the gratifying manner in which thanks had been awarded to him. When he first brought forward the sub ject of Mesmerism he did not think that it would be received with such opposition, and he had no idea that that opposition would be led by the medical profession. He had been strengthened. in all his trials by the truths of mesmerism, and be firmly believed that a great many of the medical profession were now of his opinion, and would come forward and say so if they only knew how they could get out of the difficulty in which they had involved themsel ves . (L o ud cheers.) After citi ng some interesting cases, Dr. Elliotson again th an k e d the meeting and resumed his seat. Dr. PLTRLAND moved the next resolution, as follows : That the thank s of the meeting be given to the secretary, Mr. Henry Joseph Fradelle." (Cheers.) Dr. ELLIOTSON said he felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution, as everything was carried on at the Infirmary in the most beautiful manner imaginable. The alleviation of disease and suffer ing NVE3 the constant study ; end whether the patient was a poor orphan o: the daughter of a duke, they both received the same kindness and attetit The resolution was earHed unanimously. Mr. FttaDELLE., having returned thanks for the flattering recognition of his services, the proceed ings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chair man. It is said that the insurance offices intend pre &riding a petition to the Emperor, praying that a law may be passed to prohibit the sale of matches made with white phosphorus, and to allow none but those made of amor phuous phosphorus to be made for the future. Official re turns show that the average annual number of accidental fires in France W2S about 2,200 up to 1833, before friction matches came into use. In 1844 the number had risen to 4,000, which has constantly increased, till in 1857 there were 10,000 fires. . 6 , Old Jewry, London. W. H. ASHURST, Treasurer. NI R.

An adjourned meeting of old Westminster scholars was convened yesterday in the Jerusalem Chamber, Westminster Abbey, and held in the schoolroom for more space, to discuss the question of the re moval of Westminster School into a rural situation. Many noblemen and distinguished gentlemen were present. The Dean of WESTMINSTER, who presided, said the Chapter. who had invited them to meet, did so not with any foregone conclusion on the subject, nor with any desire to shift on others the responsi bility which belonged to themselves as legal guar dians of the school. He only asked the old West minsters to make a distinct declaration of their opi nion. If they decided it would be best for the school to remain where it was, the proposal 'to remove it might be adjourned to the Greek Kaleuds. But to prolong this uncertainty a few years longer would be a most fatal course. In reply to some questions addressed to the Dean and Chapter he stated that the simple removal of the school could be done with the Royal consent expressed through a Queen's let ter, but the transfers of property which it, would involve could not be effected without an act of Par liament. The Dean and Chapter had no proposal to make as to the future locality of the school. Four conditions must be fulfilled : the situation must be near London, within an hour or an hour and a half by train ; it must be near the railway; it must be in proximity to the Thames, for the sake of the old recreation of Westminsters; and there must be am ple space, besides salubrity of position. The Chap ter were informed by their surveyor, who had made some inquiries, that he believed a decent piece of land, about 80 acres in extent, would be obtainable at no excessive price, fulfilling all these conditions. With regard to the funds he did not think there would be any insuperable difficulties. The Archbishop of YORK said he must approach this subject with as much delicacy and tenderness as he should visit the sick bed of a revered old pa rent, for he owed to Westminster School his own opportunities of receiving an university education. Its present condition was not such as they could wish. The locality had indeed been improved on the northern side, but on the southern side it was con fined and closely built up. The river, too, which had afforded them so much enjoyment and exercise in their school days, was now spoiled for such pur poses. He was convinced, however, that this km pity was perfectly healthy ; and as for morality, he believed Westminster, though in the midst of the metropolis, was not inferior to other districts; but parents, and mothers especially, were disposed to object to the situation. The number of boys in the school now was but 119. Was the school to remain a t that number, and to become a second or a third rate school ? He did not attribute its depressed state to any want, of scholastic or administrative :ability in the masters, but to the situation only, and it would be a national misfortune if any one of our great public schools were allowed to go down. The proper number, of boys there should be 300 or 400, for he thought such a large number as Eton had - was disadvantageous. If the school were removed the schoolroom in which they were then assembled, and which teas endeared to them by so many fond associations, might still be kept in its present con dition ; the school elections might take place there, and the annual dinner at Westminster. Sir G. ROSE spoke at some length, urging that a committee should be appointed to examine into the -whole state and prospects of the school. The Marquis of LAINSDOWNE expressed his re luctance to see the school abandon a place hallowed by so many recollections, but admitted that neces sity must govern this, like other human affairs. It would be very ill-advised, however, to determine on such a step until they were clearly assured of being able to substitute for what they would leave some thing better. The condition of the Thames had more influence with him than any other circum stance in favour of removing. If a locality could be found which combined all the requirements, and if the requisite expenditure could be provides for, be was in favour Qf the proposed change; but they ought not to incur any risk. Dr. JAMES WILSON, as a physician of 35 years' practise in London, testified that the situation of the school was as healthy as anywhere in the me tropolis, and when he was young it was much more unhealthy now. Tothill fields were then a swampy marsh, and there was much more chance of malaria than at present. The river, he admitted, was a nasty filthy ditch, but not worse now than in former times, when he used to swim in it. 1 he present set of boys were as fine, clean, healthy looking fellows as he would wish to see. There had been more fever at Eton, and more pulmonary complaints at Harrow, than he, had ever heard of at Westminster. The present condition of the school was owing to other causes, and he opposed the removal. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER said it seemed to him that instead of the character of the locality being of late years changed for the worse it was much improved, by the superior class of houses erected about there. As for the river, so many millions were now being spent upon it that some improvement might be hoped for, and the Duke of Buccleuch was not afraid to build a new palace by the river side. The school was - not, indeed, like some others, surrounded by trees and green fields, but the Dean and Chapter might give more facili ties than they did for making the college garden available. Little Dean's-yard might be extended, and Great Dean's-yard would do for playing foot ball; besides the cricket ground in Vincent-square. He did not ,think, however, that the elder sons of the aristocracy were ever likely to come to Westminster School; yet there was no reason why it should not flourish as well as the Charter-house. Lord J. RUSSELL, who was very warmly cheered when he came in, said he could sympathise with all that bad been said of the interesting associa tions of that place; yet the question to be decided was not whether they cherished the memories of the past, but how Westminster School in future i might best be enabled, by educating good and great men, to confer the same advantages it had conferred in past ages upon this country and upon attaind hereafter by co n t inuin g the school on the world. Were those advanta g es likely to be its present site ? Now it had been remarked that this was where Queen Elizabeth thought fit to have the school placed three centuries ago; and doubtless in the days of Queen Elizabeth the locality was deemed to be a very proper one. But so with respect to another question which would soon come before Parliament—he meant the de fences of the country ;—it might as well be argued, that because Queen Elizabeth, in her days, thought fit to take her stand at Tilbury Fort to repel the Armada, therefore our plans of national defence should be based on the same foundation, though she, with her practical sagacity, would hare taken many other things into account if she had lived in the days of improved artillery and steamships. It did not, therefore, follow that the best situation in Elizabeth's time was the best now. (Hear, hear.) He was not much enamoured of the hanges that had taken place in the neighbourhood since he (Lord John Russell) went to school there; and although Victoria-street had been constructed, he almost regretted the loss of Tothill-street, where he used to go and buy his butter. (A laugh.) The opinion of fathers and mothers was not generally so much in favour of sending their boys to Westminster School as it used to be. Lord Lansdowne, who felt great affection for the school had indeed sent his son there, but his grandsons did not come there ; and he (Lord J. Russell) would acknowledge that he had preferred sending his son to Harrow, and not merely on account of the great merits of Dr. Vaughan. It might be called a pre judice or a fashion, but there was certainly a pre vailing notion that a school like this should be si tuated where there was plenty of fresh air, with open fields for recreation, and where the river was not too offensive for the boys to swim in it, or to row in boats upon it, for amusement and exertion. (Cheers.) This being a very natural opinion, he thought that, if they kept the school at -Westmin ster, they would be indulging the sentiment of old associations, but they could no longer expect the school to produce:that succession of eminent men, statesmen, soldiers,. judges, poets, or divines, which it had yielded in former times. At the same time, ho did not feel convinced that the transplantation was sure to be successful, and he should he unwilling to come to a decisive vote at once. If a committee were now appointed, they might prepare some plan, and .re port to a general meeting w h a t s it e cou ld b e f oun d s b :li e e p h ro u v s i i d t e n d a , ti a o n n d , the et schoole r i, couldNs p b r e o r b e a s b t l o e r e t d h atto, it and what it would cost, a n d h o w the mone y cou ld former The Rev.fame Prebendaryand e for m o the val useof the o f the t r h a e - C 1 RETON' contended that tthheer r middle w h which was resident i neighbourhood than for the t aris ocracy, would not be just. He believed one third or one-fourth of the boys there were boys belonging to Westminster. Lord EBURY gave some statistics of other public schools in the metropolis. King's College School, in a very bad situation underground, had 430 scho lars, and was always full. So was Merchant Tay , lor's, with 260 boys. The City of London School, for day scholars only, had 612 ; University College School, 320. St. Paul's Schobl was limited by Dean Colet's will to 153 boys. The Charterhouse 'and Westminster did not encourage day scholars ; they preferred boarders, and that was the reason they were below the other schools in their numbers. The interests of people resident in London ought to be considered before deciding on a removal of the school. After some remarks from the Earl of May, Earl of Stradbroke, and Mr. Darby, Lord C. RUSSELL spoke in-favour of the removal, having a son at the school,le said, and having a second son whom he could not send there unless it were removed. He replied to some arguments of the Marquis of Westminster' and other preceding speakers. The meeting was further addressed by the Rev. Mr. Bourne, the Bishop of Moray and Ross, the Dean of Christchurch (Dr. Liddell, formerly head master of the school), Lord Llanover, Sir Walter Stirling, and Sir David Dundas. A resolution, moved by the Archbishop of York, to the effect that the subject of the removal should be enter tained, was met by Sir David Dundas with an amendment as follows :—" TEA a committee be ap pointed to confer with the Dean and Chapter, and to consider the state and condition of Westminster School and College, with a view to improve them on the present site, and also to ascertain where a fit and proper site might be obtained elsewhere should the removal be found necessary." On a division, the amendment was carried by a pretty large majority. The committee was then appointed, to consist of the Archbishop of York, Marquis of Westminster, Earl of Stradbroke, Earl of Devon, Lord Llanover, Lord C. Russell, Sir C. Dundas, Sir G. Rose, Ikle.--411. Chester, Mr. J, Mure, and Mr. 11. Bull. A vote of thanks to the Dean concluded the proceedings, which had lasted four hours. TILE INSURREC7IOY IN SICILY. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) PALER:VI°, MAT 31. In the letter which I sent off yesterday evening I had just time to mention shortly the conference which took place on board the Hannibal between Garibaldi and the two Neapolitan Generals. It was 5 p.m. before the conference was over. Returned to the town, every nerve was strained to put it in a state of defence. The four Commis sioners who had beep named for the four quarters of the town set to work to strengthen the barricades already existing and to construct new ones; the people were stirred up, and made aware of their position, which left no choice but to fight or to parish, and in this dilemma they certainly displayed more activity and energy than I had expected. Priests, women, and children all worked at the bar- ricades ; stones and other projectiles were taken up to the top of the houses to be thrown down on the assailants. Messages were sent to all the outlying squads partly to come in, partly to attack the Royal troops in the rear, the next day. The com mittee was urged to get ready as much ammunition as possible to complete the fabrication of Orsini shells ; the guns which had been taken in the town were put into position at the different barricades ; ammunition and provisions were distributed to the men. In one word, an activity was displayed till late at night width promised well for the next day. .7 This morning the activity not only did not di minish, but, on the contrary, the few hours which were remaining were made the best of. It was the anniversary of the battle of Palestro, the beginning of the cireer of victories which made Upper Italy what it is ; it seemed a good omen for the day. The town was stirring very early. The first look into the streets was not encouraging. A regular emi gration seemed to be going on, numbers of women and children, followed by men carrying a few traps and provisions, were making their way across the barricades. The order was not to let any one pass but women and children, who were better out of the way when the fight, and, probably, the bom bardment began again. But this emigration was only possible for the more wealthy classes, who could take carpet bags full of dollars with them and pay for their accommodation on board the mer chant vessels, or find room in the men of war. The Admiral had given orders to receive every one on board who chose to come. Mr. Goodwin, who still refused to leave his post, is spite of the Admiral's invitation daily repeated, had received into his house till the women and children of the poorer British subjects. The question was only would the townspeople who remained fight ? Priests and monks, who show themselves as true patriots almost without exception, went about the streets, carrying the cross before them, and encouraging the people to trust in Providence and to fight for their lives and goods. The different troops had taken up their positions, and all looked so ready and resolute that I really believe, had the signal been given then, the result would not have been doubtful. But while this was going on outside a change had already taken place in the Pretorial Palace. Early in the morning Lanza sent a parlenzentaire, in which he asked for an escort for General Letizia, who wished to have an interview with General Garibaldi at 10 a.m. There was no doubt it was a request for a further armistice. I happened to be in the room when Letizia arrived. His tone was quite diffe rent from what it had been the day before, and no thing could be more amiable or sweet than the manner in which he brought forward his request. He asked, first, for an indefinite armistice, express ing the hope that perhaps all further fighting might be stopped. The indefinite armistice was not granted, but first one d ay more was propose d, which was not thought sufficient, and at last three days were fixed. :l'ilwteithStnares asfetiz' had gone orders were sent not to begin the attack at noon.

Several of the Sicilian officers have come over to see their families in town, and a few only returned, while even those who did will be more useful on the other side than they could have been here. 1 tain kissing Garibaldi's hands,saw, myself, a cap and asking him, with tears in his eyes, to prevent bloodshed among to do It a li a n brothers, promising all in his power to induce his own people to do the same. A m ong those who passed throueli the town was Major Bosco, a Sicilian , the mu' , mander of one of the battalions of Riflemen who had promised the King of Naples the head of Garibaldi. He was re tained because the Neapolitan outposts would not let a convoy of flour for the tow n raes. Ho became quite a Liberal towards the end h his stay. Among those who came over was a Swiss belong ing to the foreign mercen aries. $e had been a sergeant and was d e g raded f or a small offence, as he says. He told us that there were only about one -fifth of Swiss and the others were a collection of scum from Austria and Croa t i a , most consum mate set of scoundrels t h at could be Their only, aim was plunder, Whiol ot together. k had been freely promised by the Commander M ' e It was not long before the proofs 'e el. came in of what he had said. They had broken position, open all the houses which were near to their a on d , plundered the contents, violated the women, burnt the houses. In one warehouse they h a d n f selling at a good deal of corn, which they were at a cheap price to those who were inclined to take ) They advantage of their neighbour's misfortunes. had estab lished a regular fair outside. At first the represen tations made to the general commanding met by excuses that the thing was done in first ar dour yesterday, and other things were flatly e denied, but at last the Neapolitans themselves were obliged to agree that they were a bad set. Commander Bosco himself called them "a heap of brigands, who cannot be kept in order." Of course not. They were encouraged to plunder in the beginning, and every excess found approbation rather than punishment. Even the better part of the Swiss seem to be dis gusted with their companions, and about 100 have already offered to come over if well paid. Whether the negotiations which have been opened will lead to anything remains to be seen. In the afternoon Garibaldi made a tour of inspece tion round the town. I was there, but find it really impossible to give you even a faint idea of the manner in which he was received everywhere. It was one of those triumphs which seem to be al most too much for a man. The most wonderful thing I ever saw in this way was the reception of Napoleon and Victor Emmanuel at Milan, just about a year ago, and I am almost inclined to think that the one yesterday was more extraordinary. The entry of the Sovereigns was something more formal, which prevented the full expres sion of popular enthusiasm. They were on horse back and surrounded by their guards, while the popular idol, Ga r ib a ldi, i n hi s red flannel shirt, with a loose coloured handkerchief round his neck, and his worn wideawake, was walking on foot among those cheering, laughing, crying, mad thousands; and all his few followers could do was to prevent him from being bodily carried off the ground. The people threw themselves forward to kiss his hands, or, at least, to touch the hem of li!s garment, as if it contained the panacea for all their past and perhaps coming sufferings. Children were brought up, and mothers asked ou their knees for his blessing ; and all this while the object of this idolatry was as calm and smiling as when in the deadliest fire, taking up the children and kissing them, trying to quiet the crowd, stopping at every moment to hear a long complaint of houses burnt and property sacked by the retreating soldiers, giving good ad vice, comforting, and promising that all damages should be paid for. When Garibaldi returned a representation came from the Neapolitans that the barricading was still going on during the armistice. The answer given was that each party could do as it pleased within its lines, and that, as the Neapolitans could trans port their wounded and get provisions, it was bat fair that the town should make barricades. Shortly afterwards a flag of truce came in from the Finanze, which is still held by the Royalists, offering to give up the building and 4,000,000 taxi, or about 2,000,000 f., which are said to be in it. It is mostly private property, deposited for safety. The conditions were accepted. The news of the prolongation of the armistice changed at once the physiognomy of the town. Many of those who had gone on board returned, for this respite allowed them to put their things in better order than they could do in the first hurry. The fever gave way, and animati'm be came the prevalent feature in the town, which, as ever since our arrival, was illuminated. Many of the funeral processions have been preceded by crosses, pictures cf saints, especially Santa Rosalia, and wax candles, converting them into street al tars. The moon shines brightly, and every one turns in with widely different feelings from those with which we got up this morning. JUNE 1. Last night one of the Neapolitan steamers went off with, it is stated, Gener a l L anz% hi mse lf on board. Her destination is Naples, and there are good reasons for supposing that the General, who ever he was, went there to show the necessity of making concessions. As I said, Garibaldi is willing to come to an understanding if the constitution, guaranteed above all by England, is given back, and the King of Naples promises to begin a truly Italian policy. The mediation of Admiral Mundy, which has hitherto led to such good results, removes all difficulties. Should the Neapolitans think that they can do it otherwise, either by calling in another mediation, or no mediation at all, they are mis taken, for Garibaldi will not hear of any other, and trusts no other.' The Admiral forced the Neapoli tans to treat directly with Garibaldi, and thus re cognise him, and Garibaldi is not the man to forget this. Every hour brings fresh news of the spreading of the insurrection. A Neapolitan steamer arrived yesterday from Trapani with the news that the in surgents were expected to attack it at any moment. Messina is said to have been bombarded. It is time the Neapolitans came to terms. JUNE 2. Yesterday afternoon the Fin an ze, a large buildin g in the Toledo, was given up by the Royalists. The negotiations had been going on for the last four days. The first offer they made was not accepted, Garibaldi insisting that they should give up their arms, which they refused to do. Since the armistice began, the offer was renewed on the part of the troops, under circumstances which made it desirable to accept it. No one supposed that the money had been left in the building, but so it was; the Neapolitans were so sure of their position that they did not think it neces sary to provide for emergencies, and so above 5,000,000 ducats, or above £1,200,000 remained in cash. The exact sum is 5,444,444 ducats ; out of this only about 100,000 ducats are Government property, the rest private deposits. M, Crispi, the Secretary of State, went there in company with the cashiers and controllers of the establishment ; a proses-verbal was drawn up and signed by the above-named employes, as well as the captain in command of the post. He had about 125 men with him, who were allowed to retire with arms and baggage. From the papers found it appears that 792,000 ducats were taken out of the Government funds to defray the war expenses, which were rather heavy, as the soldiers have received double pay ever since the beginning of the disturbances. This morning the news arrived that yesterday,early in the morning, the steamtug Utile had approached Marsala and landed about 100 men, 2,000 muskets, and a quantity of ammunition without meeting with any obstacle ; all the Neapolitan ships being at Pa lermo, Messina, Trapani, and Catania, the only four points where Royal troops have still some little hold. This is not the only reinforcement which is ex pected. There is reliable information that the Blackwall steamer left Leghorn on the 26th ult., with 1,500 or 1,800 volunteers. The - ugh thei:e have been no shots fired durinr , the last three days, the armistice is on that account by no means a time of peace and harmony between the two parties. There is an almost continual succession of parleinentaires on both sides, trying to explain misunderstandings, quiet apprehensions, and verify facts. At one time the Royalists stop convoys, at another their soldiers break in and through the houses, and rob and carry off everything they can lay hold of. A great many of these complaints have been verified, but I believe that these infractions of the armistice are not so much the effect of treachery on the part of the Neapolitan Generals as of a com plete want of discipline among their troops. On another side of the town the soldiers tried to break into a convent of nuns, and all the authority and the numerous messages from Lanza were scarcely sufficient to stop them. Again, on another side they carried off the inmates of the convent of the Oblati, a kind of female orphan asylum. The mothers of the girls came up crying. The thing was not denied, but it was explained that the nuns had gone over of their own free will. Not a moment passes without one or another person coming in with a complaint against the excess of the soldiers. Were it not for that marvellous ascendancy which Garibaldi exer cises over his men as well as over the whole popula tion, it would be impossible tokeep to the armistice. On one point only the people are implacable and that is the death of the sbirri, who are hunted down like wild beasts, and shot wherever they are found. The desertions still continue, and, strange to say, mostly among the non-commissioned officers, sergeants, and corporals. Not only do all these ask to take service, but likewise the 300 or 400 prisoners. Even the foreign mercenaries begin to come in— at any rate the better part of them, who are dis gusted with their own comrades and the service. Almost every officer who goes over as parlementaire is asked about the pay on this side, and had it not been for our untimely p a t r i ot i sm , di sc l a i me d th e veryidea of pay, no doubt the Bavaresi would have been open to an offer. It is, probably, not too late even now, There is plenty of money at the Finanze for this or any other purpose. One might write volumes of horrors on the Van dalism already committed, for every one of the hundred ruins has its story of brutality andin humanity. It is, above all, in the quarters to the right and left of the Royal Palace, mostly inhabited by the poorer classes and thickly crowded with monasteries, that the horrors can be witnessed by every one who walks up. Any one can do so by using his senses. There are the black ruins of blocks of houses. As you can see by those which have hitherto escaped, they are in the style of St. Giles's or the Seven Dials, with the only exception that all the windows have balconies before them. '4 In these small houses a dense population is crowded together even in ordinary times; the fear of the bombard went cro crushing wded , them eve n b ulo y in re; a shell f a lli ng on one, g the inmates, was ta u k p e i r u e f t u h g e e e e a l e Nv f u r h t e h n e littler h o e n , R s o h y u a t l t i i s u t g s sufficient to make people abandon . th e ne i g hb our i ng ars. set fire to those of th e h ouses w hi c h retiredo themselves nean dhey PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. had escaped the shells, and numbers were thus burnt alive in their hiding-places. All about 'the neigh bourhood of the Albergeria the air is charged with the exhalations of the corpses imperfectly covered by the ruins, and with that greasy smell occasioned by the burning of an animal body. If you can stand the exhalation, try and go inside the ruins, for it is only there that you will see what the thing means. You will not have to search long before you stumble over the charred remains of a human body, a leg sticking out here, an arm there, a black face starinc , at you a little further on. You are startled by a rustle, you look round and see half-a-dozen gorged rats scampering off in all directions, or you see a dog trying to make his escape over the ruins; myriads of flies rise up at your approach, and you hurry out in order to es cape their disgusting. and poisonous contact. I only wonder that the sight of these scenes does not convert every man in the town into a tiger, and every woman into a fury. __ _ JUNE 3, MORNING. Last night, at 9 p.m., the Saetta, Neapolitan despatch boat, came in with General Letizia from Naples. The instructions, lam credibly informed, are to fight to the last man, -to bring up for this purpose the garrison of Trapani and the troops coming from Girgenti, to prepare everything as well as possible, and to begin in the meantime ne gotiating with Garibaldi until these preparations can be completed. A large quantity of Orsini shells and Congreve' rockets was brought down from Naples, with the order not to spare, but burn and destroy every house. We shall see how far this is correct. At the request of General Laizia, the armistice has been indefinitely prolonged. It is to be hoped General Garibaldi does not trust too much to Nea politan honour. ArESMERIO TVEYMOUTII - PORTLAND-PLACE. The annual general meeting of the friends of this institution, of which his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin is the president, and T. Elliotson,F.eq., M.D , Cantab, F.R.S., is the how treasurer, was held on Tuesday at Willis's Rooms, St. James's. The chair was occupied by Frederick Boileau Elliott, Esq., and amongst those present were Dr. Elliotson, F.R S., Dr. Purland, H. B. Poland, Esq., Magen die, Feci., F.R.S., Adolphe Kiste, Esq., William Wing, RA., Mr. Capern, c. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that, notwithstanding the attractions of her Ma jesty's drawing-room, he was extremely gratified at the attendance that day. He felt it would not be required of him, on the present occasion, to go deeply into the question to prove that mesmerism was a great tact, of that they were all agreed, and the interesting cases mentioned ix their report would, he trusted, convince others who still doubted its existence. It was a great, strange, and remark able fact, that the existence of that wonderful power should have remained so long buried to the world; involuntarily it was resuscitated, and its discovery in the present time must date from the time of its enlightened restorer Mesmer. (Hear, hear.) Since that time many lied practised it for their own pri vate benefit rather than to develope its blessings to the human race. But the Mesmeric Infirmary was the first attempt made practically to utilize discovery. The infirmary was established in the face of great opposition, but in spite of all obstruction it steadily existed, and was advancing on the path of pro gress in - a manner to afford the highest gratifica tion to all its admirers. Other hospitals that had been established had met with public support, but it had not been so with the Mesmeric Infirmary, and although such was the fact, its admirers had estab lished an institution which would most certainly take its place amongst the magnificent curative, in stitutions of the country. An hospital was estab lished in India, but that was more for operations than for the cure of diseases; but the action of chloro form having been introduced which produced easier results, it was not in nature it should be so successful as this infirmary had been. Mesmerism was op posed only by the self-interested, bigoted, and the blind; but in spite of this it had made progress, and experience had shown how applicable it was to the alleviation of much human suffering. They who were the advocates of mesmerism did not lay claim to an infallible power, nor did they pretend to be successful in their treatment on every occa sion ; but when they considered the cases which had been brought before them, and that the results showed a triumph over every other mode of cure— when they :saw what had been achieved those results were really marvellous. He congratulated the meeting that the funds of the institution during the year had been in a most satisfactory state; but still they needed the assistance of their friends to enable them to extend their operations. Mr. WING then read the annual report, of which the following are extracts The work of the Infirmary has been steadily going on since the last annual meeting, and much good been effected. But, from the smallness of our means through the limited knowledge on the part of the public of the truth, the facts, and the utility of mesmerism, we are able to treat such pa tients only who can go about and do not live too far off to go backwards and forwards to the institution. This greatly' lessens not only the number of our patients, but the range of the diseases which we treat. Would it were otherwise! But, with the means which wo possess, the results are very satisfactory. No fewer than seven epileptic patients appear to have been cured. This is a considerable number when we reflect that the disease is generally so obstinate as to be called one of the opprobria medicorum, and how few patients or their friends have perseverance enough to persist sufficientlylong to give a chance of cure. Four of the , e were treated by our Secretary, bar. Freddie, two by Mr. Charles Fisher, and one by our other male mesmeriser, Mr. Russell. The fol lowing narrations must interest every one of the meeting : Epilepsy and Palsy with Prevision—Charlotte Wood land, aged 21, from Standford, near Hythe, was sent to us, August 17th, 1859, byMr. Whitfield, a surgeon long estab lished at Ashford, Nt ho for many years has honestly de clared his conviction of the truth of mesmerism, and who subscribed from the first to the Zoist, and to the infirmary. On November 2d, 1855, she was seized with complete in sensibility, from a fright, and it returned once a month in the evening at the same hour for a whole year. From being hysteria the disease became epilepsy, and the attacks very frequent, sometimes one every few days and some times several in a day. After one of these sill was left with palsy throughout her right half. From the age of six years she had suffered from frequent pains in the left half of her head in consequence of a fall. Her eyes were often inflamed and her throat ulcerated. On account of her pre sent fits and the palsy, she was placed under the parish surgeon, who bled her in the arm to fainting every month for half a year ; salivated her till her tee:h were loose ; ap plied leeches ; blistered ber on the chest and on the back of the neck ; and once shaved her head and kept a blister upon it for 16 hours, and she was thus rendered worse than be fore. Her legs were sometimes enveloped in mustard poul tices, sometimes placed in hot water containing mustard, and the length of the fits greatly increased. She was now sent to a country hospital, where she remained nine weeks, and was treated with leeches, mustard poultices, every two or three hours, and hot baths which made her faint off and weakened her greatly,—without the least benefit. So she returned home to the parish surgeon, who repeated his for mer treatment, and cf course without any benefit. She was next in a London hospital for six months, took medi cine again in abundance, was salivated, blistered, and well supplied with mustard poultices. But the fits increased in violence, length, and frequency, and once continued with scarcely an intermission for 30 hours. A. nurse, who consi dered that all her sufferings were a sham, threw, to test her, a large basin of cold water upon her on different occasions as she lay in bed, and allowed her to remain soaking all night in her unconscious state. The result was a severe cola ; and from that time she was not free from cough, quick breath ing, inability to breathe deeply or lie on her left side, and her head moved at every breath.; her expectoration was copious and often foetid. Cod liver oil was given to her for some time, and she continued to have four fits a week, and returned home to the care first of her former doctor and then of another, gaining power in her palsied arm and leg, but still so weak at the time of her application to us as to unable to retain the erect position for a moment, or totter a few .steps, or even to stand, without support ; and she had for nine months violent fits every night for eleven hours and a half, and often in the day time. She had great pain in the stomach and loins, and intense torpidity of bowels and want of sleep; indeed her only sleep for nine months was the coma, attended by rigid closure of herhands, after each fit. It was a most wretched case, but we had to do our best, and Mr. Fradelle, without hesitation took the case, and deter mined that, if it was curable by rlk ___csmerism, he w -mid cure it. He mesmerised her on Sundays as well as on the other days of the week, and allowed her to sleep many hours. He began .4tg. 29, and on the 30th she had less aching in her chest. On September 1, she was sent to sleep, and remained asleep from 10.45 a.m. till 2.15 p.m. The fit came on an hour later than usual, and yet only continued to its usual hour. On Sept. 4, her mesmeric sleep became sleep-waking, f or she spoke in it, thougl• on waking she was perfectly i gno .. rant of all that had passed. She even proved clairvoy an t as to her own case; for, on being asked by Mr. Pradelle whether he would cure her, she replied, yes " and on being asked n when, she replied, "In five mentlls.,, She gradually remained longer and longer in the sleep waking at the Infirmary and also at ha rne, GO that at length she was in the Instit u t i o n train 10 in the morn ing. till past 8 in the evening in sound mesmeric sleep. On the 9th of September she predicted in her mesmeric sleep , waking that her daily attacks would cease in a fort night, and that she would then have natural sleep. On the 23d she predicted more Minutely ; giving the days, hours, ~~
