NIOJANINC: St.) :St AMERICAN NE WS. (Further Extra-,.ts from the American Papers.) THE SHIP CHARLES. .Captain Hubbard , of the I;ii,; -- A&rica, which has arrived at this port from Chagres, reports that on June 13th, he spoke the schooner Ann, from New Orleans, f;,:: Portsmouth, which vessel had on board the Cap tain and crew of the ship Charles, which had caused so much excitement at New Orleans. They had left the ship about a week previous with five feet of water in her hold. So much for the second pirate story from New Orleans.—Journal of Commerce. This does not settle the matter. - If the Captain of the Charles be the same Captain Gorham, from Bangor, Maine, who a few years since, with his brother-in-law and some . others, desperate characters, moved into Oswego, in this State, where his store was fired under such circumstances (i. e. to recover a large amount of insurance) that public opinion compelled him to leave the place ; who subsequently was indicted by a grand jury of Buffalo on a suspicion that he had murdered his own child, by administering to it an excessive quantity of laudanum, and who was cleared by the non-appear ance at the trial of his wife, who, it was supposed, he attempted to kill with a dose of arsenic, to get rid of her evidence ;—we say, if this be the same individual he is certainly not too good to have been engaged in such an affair as the New Orleans papers describe. The schooner Ann, from New Orleans, here spoken of, may be one which the Captain had employed tolfol low him out, to rescue him and his crew after they had scuttled their own vessel. The mate of the Charles, we perceive, is spoken of as the brother-in-law of Captain Gorham.—New Yorh. Evening Post. THE WHEAT AND GRAIN CROPS. CANANDAIGUA, JUNE 22, 1841.—1 have now visited most of the grain growing sections of this State, and have heard by people with whom I am well acquainted, from those in which I have not been, and I assure you that the condition of the grain crop is truly alarming. The wheat crop cannot by any possibility come up to one half of a fair yearly average. There is no mistake upon the subject, for 1 have taken the greatest pains to arrive at the utmost certainty, and I believe it hardly possible for me to be mistaken. The wheat crop of 1839, as appears by the census, was almost eleven millions, and that was an unusually pr,xluctive year, and more than the usual quan tity of land was in wheat. There is not as much land in wheat this year as there was in that, so that it is fair to assume that there will be a deficiency in the crop of 1841, in wheat alone of at least six millions of bushels, which will be fully equal to a loss to the farming interest of as many dollars. But the evil doss not stop hoe. All the spring crops will be unusually light. Barley, Oats, and Corn, will generally be almost a failure, and un less there is rain soon, the potatoe crop will hardly re turn the seed. The spring was so cold and back ward that nothing like as much land has been put into grain as is usual. Grass is generally light, and promises but a small return in hay. The situation of the country is gloomy, for with short crops always come hard times; money gets scarce, and all. business gets deranged. We must now look to the Western -States, for a supply sufficient to keep up the equilibrium.. I fear I shall find the West as bad as our own State.—New York Express. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ELMIRA, CHEMUNG COUNTY. —We learn, from several residents of this flourishing village, that a destructive fire, which consumed twenty four dwelling-houses and stores, took place at half past twelve, on the morning of Thursday last. So rapid was the progress of the flames, that in the space of one hour and a half, in a perfectly still morning, the whole of the above premises were reduced to ashes. Tile fire commenced on the street next the river, running east and west, a few doors east of the Post-office, which is among the buildings consumed. The buildings con sumed were all of wood, and it is thought that insurance will cover about one-half the amount lost, both in build ings and property. No lives were lost, nor was any per son injured. THE PIRATE BRIG MALES ADHEL.—The case of this vessel, which has been before the United States District Court, sitting in this city, for some days past, was decidcd yesterday. Judge Heath, in his opinion de livered yesterday, condemned. the vessel as a pirate, for acts committed in reference to two of the vessels fallen with by her—the British brig Albert, and a Portuguese brig. The Judge acquitted the owners of all censure in the case. The cargo was not deemed to be liable under the circumstances of the case, and was therefore acquitted. An appeal to the Circuit Court was entered by the coun sel for the claimants.—Baltimore American. The. Mosquitoes have established an extensive Singing School in the office of the Galveston (Texas) Gazette, and the Fleas avail themselves of the musical advantages thus afforded, to foot it up and down over the editor's body, in every sort of a dance, from the slow march to the rapid gallopade. The editor's position is most inte restingly uncomfortable. The Buffalo Commercial states that " a train of wag gons filled with Mormons, or some similarly infatuated creatures, passed our office this morning on their way to Nauvoo, or some other newly discovered paradise. They did not take shipping, but intend to travel the whole dis tance, some 800 miles, in their vehicles." - - EXTENSIVE FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE IN PHILADEL PHIA.—A fire broke out just before two o'clock, on the morning of the 24th, in the extensive wholesale gro cery establishment of Mulford and Alter, north side of the Market above Sixth-street, which with its con tents was entirely destroyed. The fire was the work of an incendiary. When it was first discovered, the building was in a blaze in different parts of the third floor ; and an iron bar was found much bent near the safe, into which - the desperadoes had been attempt irr: to effect an entrance. No fire had been in the building for some time, except the gas-lights—the store was closed before dusk. Various circum stances strengthen the suspicion that it was the re sult of design. The books were saved, but the contents of the store were nearly destroyed. Fortunately, the stock on hand was small, in consequence of the active business sea son being over. The building was four stories high and ex tended to St. James's-street. The walls are standing, and probably can be rebuilt, as it was originally considered one of the lamest edifices in Philadelphia. The adjoin ing building, recently a drug store, now being altered into a depot for a transportation line, was slightly in jured. Insurance was effected at two offices, $15,000 at the North American and $9,000 at the Spring Gar den Fire Insurance Company's office. The most me lancholy and painful part of the disaster, was the loss of life. While the fire was raging with incredible fury, a ladder was raised against the front of the building. Two members of the Phoenix engine were upon it when the brick covering and part of the walls came down, crushing three or four individuals be neath it. George Eisenbrey was almost instantly killed, and Mr. Thomas, another member, was seriously injured. HUMILIATING FACT.—We learn from the census re turns of the Marshal for the district of Illinois, that there are in the State 28,769 persons of twenty years old and upwards, out of a population of less than half a million, who can neither read nor write. There is not a State in the Union with more liberal provisions for purposes of education ; yet about one in fourteen of her population are destitute of the first rudiments of edu cation. This humiliating fact ought to awaken us to renewed exertion for diffusion of knowledge. We have been far too remiss in this matter. At the same time it ought to be remembered that much the greater portion of 28,780 were born and reared in other States, and therefore our common school system is not answerable for their ignorance.—Peoria (Ill.) Register. DEATH OF JAMES BELL.—We are indebted to Major P. Baker for the following statement of the facts attending the death of James Bell, Esquire, brother of the Hon. John Bell, Secretary of War. The two gentlemen named left New Orleans in company on Tuesday . , the Bth instant, on board the steamboat :New Orleans, for this place, Mr. Bell being on his -.way to Washington. On the succeeding. Sundly,m orn _ ing (the 13th),. ,about sixty miles below Laving been indisposed during the passen v , i n a fit of mental' derangemen t, he threw himsel f ? overboard and. was drowned. Though the ,boats were instantly lowered, and his body in five minutes brought on board, he was a corpse. At Memphis Mr. Bake r l e f t he boat, taking the body of his unfortunate friend ashore, -where, meeting several of Ali. Bell's friends, he g ave the body into their charge. *fore he left. the arrang e _ meats had been made for the funeral of the deceased, on the succeeding day. Many friends are left to mourn this =timely disaster.—Louisville 4.tfrertiser. A DREADFUL MURDER AND SCICIDE.—TnO Steil ber `lie, Ohio, Gazette, ,9;ives an account , of a most tragical murder. and suicide' which occurred on the 11th, 'abotit two Miles front that place on. the Vir ginia, side of the river. A man and his wife, the former a German and the latter an American,. were tcavelling together, when a quarrel arose between them, nail the wretched husband took a razor from his poc -1:(:t and cut the throat of his companion from ear Ito ear, causing instant death. He then applied the same instrument to his own throat, but failing to accomplish his purpose he finished the work of death !)y .. tying a handkerchief about his neck and sus pending i:Lnself to a fence. The wretched pair had been married abot;!. two years, and a little girl, daughter of the murdered woman by a former husband, looked upon the bloody scene with indifference. WRECKS.—The number of wrecks and castaways on our Atlantic seaboard is astonishing. It averages four hundred to five hundred a year. In January, 1839, there were ninety-one American vessels of all sizes swrecked on the Atlantic Coast—making on an average, ease, of shipwreck once in every eight hours fora month. /eat Gazette. CASE OF A SLAVE AT NEWPORT, R. I.—Our New- D o -t correspondent, under date of the 24th, says that the b r i g Relief, of Cherryfield, Strout, from Norfolk for St. Johns, N. 8., put in to land a slave, who had secreted himself ori board at Norfolk, in order to send him back to h i s own „ , *, The name of the slave is Mansfield Jack son, and we are informed is owned by a widow lady—his guardian's name is Archibald Allen, of Suffolk. We learn that Jackson had assisted in loading the brig, and that she had been at sea seven days before he wasdisco vered, he having'- provided himself with provisions and - water. The briga, - .rived here late in the afternoon, too late. to accomplish the ca7tain's object—he therefore tied the slave, and retired for the !Light ; but the watch on deck having gone asleep, the negro'!oosed his cords, stole the boat, and landed on Goat Island, from thence was -conveyed over to town by the person having the charge a the fort. We learn that the blacks have taken him in charge, and have contributed money and clothes to his re lief, and would convey him to New Bedford. Jackson says he- has a wife in New York.—American Paper. (.:OMMEI!CE OF TH E W EST .—Withi n th e last twenty fourt,:ours, says the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of the 22d, the wind has brought following a large number of vessel& to our harbour, w ith t h e 17,567 bbls flour, agg,regtte of articles : 25,667 606977 i li..)usewheat, 435,500 s t aves , 292.000 feet lumber, I bls pork, 282 tons iron, 120 bbls ash es. 202 casks ham swi g, 5 do. e _, s, 68 kegs lard, 249 d o . b utter, 67 bbls b t 7 13 bushels corn, 2,669 brooms, 163 hides, 34 bbls gin, 2 do. , 191 do. whiskey, 7,550 bshls oats, 3 bbls wax, 11 rolls leaiher, 10 sacks wool, 29 do. feathers, 11 hhds tobacco. The Secretary of the Treasury acknowledges the re ceipt of one hundred dollars, enclosed in an anonymous letter, post marked New York, June 9. The writer states the same to be " for duties long due." The amount has been placed in the Treasury.—/Vational In telligeneer. KEOK UK NOT KILLED.—The lowa Hawkeye says that Keokuk is not killed, but still living. He has lately been giving himself up to intemperate habits, which is probably the reason why many of his band has forsaken him, and joired his Hardfish. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic despatch, dated Mostagan, the 3d instant : The Oran division, which set out from Mostagan on the 7th ultimo for Mascara, returned here on the 27th in a sanatory condition, which is satisfactory when the marches and labovs it has executed are taken into account. The number of sick left at Mascara, or brought back to Mos tagan, does not exceed 400. The division did not proceed to Saida, because it learned that the fort had been abandoned and partly destroyed. It was deemed more useful to pursue the great tribe of the Hachem, among whom Abd-el-Kader was born, and who have con ferred upon him his power. That tribe Lad never expe rienc.d the effects of war, and had been foremost in break ing through the peace. Pursued during several days it retreated to the confines of the 'desert, where its horsemen. 3,000 in number, having tried to cover its flight, sustained some losses. The army then collected the crops in the plain of Eehris, in order to supply Mascara with grain and straw. At the same time works for the defence of Mascara were exe cuted. Millstones were collected in the neighbourhood, and in a short that we shall have mills enough to make flour for a division of 8,000 men. Our affairs are going on well, but there has been no submis sion on the part of any of the tribes. The division set off again for Mascara with a large convoy. It is to be engaged in reaping the harvests for fifteen days, with which to supply that place. It would appear by our letters from Madrid of the sth inst., that a hurricane devastated the district of Navalcarnero on the 3d, simultaneously wi.h the earthquake wrich was felt in Paris and other parts of France. The Chamber of Deputies was still proceeding with the discussion of the budget. The Five per Cents. were done at 26 1-16 for cash. The Augsburgh Gazette of the 9th states that Sahib Muhib Effendi was about to leave Alexandria for Constantinop!e, and would take with him 5,000,000 of piastres en account of the tribute. The Pacha offered to pay 2,000,000 of piastres an nually on condition that the exclusive administration of the country should be left with him, but that if not he would pay only 1,000,000. According to our private accounts from Athens of the 22d ult., the Greek Ministry was not yet organized. M. Pisca tory was to set out in a day or two on a tour through Pelopo nessus, Rumelia, and, it was thcught, Anatolia. Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 30th ult. state that the health of the Empress was beginning to inspire serious un easiness, and that her Majesty had been recommended by her physicians to repair to Nice, Pisa, or Crimea. M. Barente, the French Ambassador, was to leave for Paris on the bth instant, and to be replaced in his absence by M. Casimir Perier. Advices from Locarno of the 7th announce that the insnr • rectionary movement in Ticino was eniircly suppressed. Coun tenor Nessi and other chiefs were to be tried by Court martial.

He had now, stood the trial of a con tested election,' anti received , their unqualified approbation of he conduct he had pursued. He did not think he Was using too harsh language when he said, that the contest had been con ducted unfairly and in a factions manner.—(Cheers.) He would tell them why. If Mr. Custs's friends had taken proper care in canvassing the county to ascertain the feel ings of the electors, they must have been perfectly satis flirt that it was hopeless to attempt to bring him in. Hav ing received 5,550 promises, he was perfectly satisfied, as he stated on the day of the nomination, that his election was secure, and, after the show of hands, he bad hoped that Mr. Chaplin would not have demanded a poll. He had watched him narrowly, and he certainly seemed for some time to hesi tate about it. Giving the other candidates all the unpledged votes, and allowing neither to take plumpers, but to split every vote, he had still a majority of 500. He must, therefore, re peat that the opposition had bet n most unfair and factious. He thought their opponents would now be satisfied that the feeling of the majority of the electors of the Lindsay, division of Lincolnshire was decidedly oppposed to Tory principles. —(Cheers.) He stood now, as ever, the avowed enemy of Tory principles, the advocate of Liberal Whig principles, i.nd the electors had shown by his overwhelming majority, that they were still attached to the cause of Reform, and that they did not wish a Tory Government to rule over this country.— ( Cheers.) For himself he must say, con.idering the misre presentations he had had to contend against, no cne would have reason to go to the House of Commons with more pride and satisfaction than he should. His friends had fought most manfully in his cause. They said they would not let a little man be bullied by two others. The Noble Lord retired amidst loud cheers. ' Mr. CHRISTOPHER next presented himself, and was also greeted with a very enthusiastic reception. lie denied that the opposition to his Noble Friend and colleague, Lord Worsley, had been at all factious, either upon his part, or so far as Mr. Chaplin was concerned. He looked to the issue of this contest as materially bearing on the interests of good go vernment and agriculture, in which they were all concerned. It was impossible for hint to reflect en the result without some degree of alarm and anxiety as to the effect it might produce in other parts of the country. If the agricultural interest was to be supported in the new Parliament, it would not be by the division of Lindsay, but by the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire—by the West Riding—(Cheers)—by the city of Lfncoln, by the city of Westminster, by Dublin, and other places, having but a remote interest in agriculture. He did not say this as any disparagement to his Noble Friend, for ever since they had a seat in Parliament, although opposed to each ether in politics, they had uniformly co-operated in promoting the interests of the division. Now that he had been again re turned in conjunction with his Noble Friend, the same feelings should still actuate his conduct. He should endeavour always to act worthy the confidence of such a constituency, and when he offered himself again at the next dissolution of Parliament, he should hope to receive the approbation of a majority of the electors.—( Loud cheers.) The return was then filled np, and the chairing took place. Both Hon. Members afterwards dined with their respective friends, Lord Worslev at the City Arms, and Mr. Christopher at the Saracen's Head. SCOTLAND. STIRLINGSHIRE, JULY 10. The vominatiou for this county took place this day at the town of Stirling. After the Sheriff had read the writ some delay ensued in consequence of its not having been decided which . party was to be first nominated. Sir M. Bruce seemed anxious to give precedence to Mr. Forbes, and Mr. Forbes did not appear at all disposed to avail himself 01 that honour. This lent to a most ludicrous scene. Sir M- Bruce was seen at one extremity of the hustings bowing with wonderful condescension to Mr. Forbes, his Conservative opponent, requesting him to com mence the proceedings, whilst the gentleman who was to no minate Mr. Forbes was observed to shake his head, thus ex pressing no great anxiety to commence the contest. This pan tomimic exhibition excited loud laughter from the vast multi tude assembled opposite the hustings. At last the Sheriff came to the rescue, and tossed up who should first enter the arena, when it was decided Mr. Forbes bhoule commence. Mr. BaucE, of Kennett, then came forward to propose Mr. Forbes, of Callender, as a proper candidate to represent the county of Stii ling in Parliament. Mr. STIRLING, the younger, of Keir, seconded the nomi nation, The Hon. J. C. Downers, late member for the city of York, proposed Sir Michael Bruce, the Liberal candidate, and Mr. Murray seconded the nomination. Mr. FORBES then came forward to address the electors. He said the contest was not a personal one. If the electors had confidence in her Majesty's present Government, then they ought to elect his opponent, Sir M. Bruce; but if they thought differently, then he had some claim to their support. They had heard a good deal of Lord Grey's Government ; but what had Lord Grey's Government to do with Lord Mel bourne's ? But the present Government was not Lord Mel bourne's, but the Bed-chamber Government. It had been called a Liberal Government, bnt a great statesman had pro perly termed it a " shabby Government."—(Cries of " He i 3 a turncoat.") He denied that he was a turncoat. He would admit that the Govsrnment was Liberal in one sense of the word. They had paid 700,0001. a year out of the public money to the hangers-on of the Administration. He then entered at some length into a consideration of the proboble effects of an alteration of the Corn-laws, and contended that the fixed duty proposed by Government would be highly inju rious to the agricultural interest, and would be of no benefit to any class of the community. Before we repealed the Corn laws, it ought to be clearly proved to us that Prussia, Poland. and other corn-growing countries would consent to take our manufactured goods. He expressed his entire confidence in Sir Robert Peel, and stated, that if elected their Member he would give the Government about to be formed by Sir R. Peel his best support.— k Cheers and marks of disapprobation.') • Sir M. BRUCE made a long speech in defence of the present Government, amidst the cheers of his friends and the hisses of his opponents. The SHERIFF then called for a show of hands, which was in favour of Sir M. Bruce, when a poll was demanded in behalf of Mr. Forbes, which is to take place on Monday and Tuesday next. Both parties talk confidently of success. On the last occa sion Mr. Forbes was returned only by a majority of one, and was unseated by a Committee of the House of Commons. lows.:— SUIIY. SHOCKING TORY OUTRAGE AT HEANOR-SIX MEN SHOT. A'''.VEAIf:I,ViX'GNETISM IN FRANCE Mimi Ours reached Derby on Wednesday of a frightftil outrage committed near this town by some of the'rufilans employed by the Tery party. We immediately pro= ceeded to the spot to institute more particular inquiries into .the circumstance, which we found to be as fol- Or. Tuesday night as a few of the banner bearers who bad accompanied the Liberal candidates to Ilkeston, were passing through Mr. Mundy's pro perty on their return to Heanor, they were severely attacked and beaten by a number of the Tory " lambs! On reaching Heanor and relating the circumstance a number of people decided on going out on the Ilkeston road to meet the band and the other banner bearers. This party numbered about 100, and they passed on very peaceably and quietly until they reached a public house known as the Mundy's Arms. When nearly opposite this place a man, who is known, threw a stone into the air and cried out, " Now, my boys." This was a signal for a volley from the inn where a large number of the Tory lambs appear to have been assembled. The yel lows bore the pelting patiently for a minute or two. but their patience being at last exhausted they returned the volley. Whilst the row was at its height a man, who is well known at Heanor, was seen running from his home to wards the crowd with a double barrelled gun in his hand. Several people who were near him cried out "For God's salip don't fire." He, however, regardless, approaching within gunshot of the crowd, took :deliberate aim at the heads of the people, and fired one barrel of his gun! We lament to say that the shot took effect on six men ; all of them of the Liberal party., One poor man was wounded in the eye ; another received some twenty-five or thirty, shots in different parts of his face ; others were wounded on their temples and in the breast. An application fur a warrant was on the following day made to Mr. Radford, a Magistrate of Tory principles, residing in the vicinity. Mr. Radford, however, de clined to grant one until Monday next. Such conduct appears extraordinary ; but as we are not aware of the grounds Mr. Radford had for declining, we forbear for the present making any remarks upon it. Application has, we understand, been made to other Justices of , the Peace, who have found no difficulty whatever in granting a warrant for this man's immediate apprehension. We rejoice to say that all the .wounded men . are doing well. , . ~ I'Ve believe the occurrence of thi s outrage will, secure many votes to the Liberals in lleanor and Ilkeston, which were previously against them or doubtful.— Derbyshire Chronicle. THE CHURCH AND THE TREA- We have just received a Parliamentary paper, moved for by that indefatigable friend of the Liberal cause, Mr. Gillon, and ordered to be printed on the 17th June last, showing the amount of public money paid to the Mode 7 rator and other' officers of the General Assembly, and for their law and miscellaneous expenses, of the existence of which we are satisfied the public were entirely igno rant. It appears that the Assembly receives annually 11,0001. out of the public funds, which they apply as they think fit, and that of this sum the Moderator receives no less than 200/. a year for doing nothing ! Surely this is a gross misapplication of the taxes levied fro m th e whol body of the people. The following is a statement of the expenditure for the year ending in May, 1840 : Balance in favour of Procurator from last Account £64 3 2 Paid Salaries by order of Assembly as follows, viz.:— Moderator Procurator 2OO 0 0 Principal Clerk 133 6 8 Sub-Clerk Agent ll3 6 8 Agent in London 2l 0 0 Procurator's Clerk Beadles • - 32 0 0 Bar-keeper and Crier William Rowley Account due to the late agent for general business, as authorised by the Committee 47 7 4 Mr. Johnston, for stationery, from 16th May, 1839, to 14th August, 1839 Messrs.

But in France it stilt flourishes in all itz folly ; and we wish we could say that - folly is the least fault with .which it can .be brand e d. ; for o f late, more than ever in its career,hitherto, linpudentfalsehood, bold chi canery, and even blasphemy, have been chief features in its doctrines and practice. A few notices of the contents of the Parisian journals, during the last months, will show what folly, men, se rious, and; if the expression may be, professing them selves reasonable and honest, can be brought to believe or to assert, even 'in the nineteenth century ; aud, if they serve no other purpose, will at least suffice to confirm the incredulity which every student of medicine should maintain, by proving what the height of enthusiasm can mistake, or the depths of charlatanerie can pretend, to be truth. To prove in one sentence how little mag netizers are capable of fulfilling, before competent judges, the pretensions which they make to the whole public, or even of repeating those marvels which (when they are not well overlooked) are easy enough—to prove this, let it suffice to say, that the sum of three thousand francs, 'Offered by M. Burdin, to any one who would bring a somnambulist who could read with her eyes fairly bandaged over, or could tell what was written on a paper locked up in a box, has never been won, though often tried for in the presence of impartial judges : nay, not, one has ever been found who could see to read through a single layer of blank paper. Now we do not mean to say that a somnambulist being unable to see without her eyes is a proof that animal magnetism is untrue ; but the fact we have men tioned is a proof that these French magnetizers are (not to waste words) either fools or impostors ; for this sight through bandages and deal-boards is what they put for ward as being often acquired under magnetic influence, and as having been frequently demonstrated to exist. Nay, they seem to prefer it as a test of the truth of their system. M. Gerdy (who might certainly have occu pied himself more to his own dignity and to thepublicad vantage) has been induced to investigate this power of eye-, less sight in the choicest somnambulist of M. Pigenire, hiS own daughter. And what was the result of his 'in quiries ? Why, that Mademoiselle Pigeaire'eonld never succeed in reading, till, by her struggles, she had managed to displace the bandage that had been put; 'with much form and much pretence of caution, over her eyes, and to make a gap above Or below its borders sufficient to peep through and use her ordinary sight as other People do. Nor was there any better success with M. Frappart and his somnambulists : all the trials entirely failed : all proved quite plainly that the blindfolded could not see till they had made a chink below, or above, or on the inner side of the eye. A series of experiments, by M. Gerdy; on himself and on his friends, proved how small, how almost imperceptible, a space is sufficient for some persons to see obscurely through or beneath a bandage ; and yet in spite of all this, the magnetizers still believed, or pretended to believe, that the power of extraordinary vision was possessed by their patients. What can be said to such men ? Plainly nothing ; nor can . much be done, till, having determined whether they deceive or are themselves de ceived, they can be consigned to the care of their friends, or of the public officers of justice. One thing, however, may be done already : every one may refuse not only to comply with, but even to listen to, the statements such men make ; their evidence is altogether inadmis sible ; they plainly either cannot, or will not, tell the truth. May 1839 to sth May 1840 3 4 6 Mr. W. It. Murray, son of the late agent, for preparing inventory of; and giving up papers belonging to, the Church Interest on Bill granted for money borrowed by the Procurator in 1834, for expenses of Neilston Appeal Balance due by the Procurator But their feats are far from being confined to simply seeing without eyes. We find a. M. • Teste professing with unequalled boldness that a somnambulist of his can tell by the mere touch, and, it seems, by one touch only, all the pathological circumstances of any patient presented to her ; and M. heard, director of the Journal du Hag nctisme, not to be outdone, swears that he can either take to himself or dismiss in an instant the pains and diseases of any other person. Travelling once in Belgium with a brother-magnetizer, who was at the time afflicted with gastritis that he had received from a lady whom he had cured, M. Ricard, for a grand experiment, relieved him Of his pain, and took it himself. But, not anxious to keep his new guest long, he again made it go into his companion's stomach ; and then, having made the gas tritis pass several times from one to the other. they finished, by common accord with giving it a definitive con ye. Of all possessors of personal magnetic power, M. Ri card is certainly the most nobly endowed. The story . just told is far from being the chief marvel that his Traite du Magnetisme Animale contains. He can make himself sweat at any given part of his body at and with pleasure ; and make others do the same : he can alter the rapidity of any man's pulse in any desired mode and degree : he cau make any one at will paralytic or cata• leptic: he can give magnetic properties to bars of iron by the influence of his epigastrium, and can exercise his powers, and even cure diseases, at miles' distance from him : he can remove affections of the severest kind in half an hour or a little more, though they have lasted for years. But he does not always exercise his powers for good ; sometimes he employs them to inflict terrific pu nishments, and especially he does this to those of hissom nambulists who would mischievously injure him or, the • patients put under their influence. On these he at once, mind without pity, inflicts the sufferings they intended for others. Nor are his magnetic influences powerful on man alone ; they extend over 411 nature, animate and inanimate ; a shrivelling, languishing, and etiolated shrub grew green under the power of his passes ; and on every side threw out strong and luxuriant branches. On the other hand, a beautiful tree, magnetized by his opposed will, shrivelled, lost its leaves, and soon after perished. Nay, he can influence the at mosphere and command meteors ; and he has several times, at Montpellier, amused himself by dissipating clouds and stopping rain. These things are actually gravely and boldly assert e d as truths by M. Ricard, who seems a great authority among this extraordinary class of dupes or knaves. To believe a man to be deceived into the idea that he pos sesses such powers (if he be not obviously a madman) is to be nearly as credulous as he ; and it would not be difficult, as the next step, to imagine one's self possessed of them. He is, no doubt, a gross impostor, and might fairly and wisely be left to the usual end of such cha racters, were it not for the mischief that his proceedings would do, Their influence on the health of the public, and on their intellectual condition, if they are brought to believe in them as realities, is bad enough ; but it is not the worst that they can exercise. It is impossible not to perceive that the miracles "recorded in Holy Writ are the objects of imita tion in all these proceedings. Constituting as they do a • chief evidence of the Christian faith, which regards them as possible to God alone, it becomes a matter of no small interest whether men are to be allowed to profess that they .possess powers sufficient for their performance ; and thus to reduce the wonder of a miracle to nothing more than the crafty exercise of an influence which any man may acquire. And that this is not a strained foresight of what may result from these things, is too evident from what magnetizers themselves advance as the history of their art. M. Gauthier, said to be the most used, the most scientific of the modern professors, states his conviction that magnetism has been practised from all times, and in all places, either for religious or fur medical purposes. He follows traces of it among the Egyptians, Jews, Persians, Greeks, Gauls, and Romans. To' him, as to all magnetizers, the sacerdotal physicians of Egypt and of early Greece, the thaumaturgi of all times, the Apostles, and the Christ himself, were only magnetizers ; the Prophets and the Sibyls were all mag netizers. One can scarcely without a shudder read such a blend ing of the holy and the profane—such an assertion that the divine power of the inspired, and the craft of heathen priests, had all one common origin in what any man may even now acquire. And yet, if the public are made by fraud to believe that magnetizer:: can do the things that they pretend, we do not see but that in the very next place they must be led to regard one of the chief evi dences of Christianity to be nothing more than a cun ningly devised fable. That such things should be looked on calmly in France—that the writer from whom we quote the above passages should make no remark of disgust at them—is not astonishing. But we shall be glad if, having thus shown to what animal magnetism may easily be perverted, we can produce the feeling in Eng land that it is not to be regarded as zt harmless folly—as a thing with which a man may fairly amuse - him Self and gain notoriety. Its evil moral influence on the patients subjected to it we long . ago pointed Out '; and it is now brought freely into th service of the foulest irreligion. With the exception of walking on the waves, and raising the dead, there is not a rairacle which it is not deemed competent to perform. Ifegarding;however, all these pretences to supernatu ral power as impudent falsehoods, we cannot find that animal magnetism has made any real progress towards meriting, even in its statements of a lower and more credible character, the name and position of a science. Of all that has been done in France, we can find nothing resembling, or which is not altogether opposed, to proba bility. With no more incredulity than every man should exercise when new and strange things are proposed to him, w e can fi n d no fres or better grounds than heretofore for the belief that magnettsm operates in any way except through' an extraordinary influence upon the mind, exercising itself With •the more power, and to the production of more strange effects. in direct proportion to the morbid state into which the system has been brought by genuine disease, or by the repeated excitement of the magnetizing process. Such, we believe, is the case with the two girls who we regret to say are still exhibited in London ; nor can we learn that the gentleman who operates on them has arrived at any results that are fit for the records of science—at any thing, in short, more than wonders, which, however, we are bound to add, bear no compa rison with those that are said to occur in France. But whether this be the case or not, it is surely much to be regretted that these things should be made, by one who might hold a good place in science, subjects of public exhibition rather than of private and calm study. We believe that, in following such a course, 1)r. lilliot;on only mistakes the way to study magnetism. It will be greatly to his own credit, as well as to that of his profes sion, if he will take this hint that we offer him in all good feeling, and again enter the ranks of true science, which his talents and acquirements are so well calculated to adorn.—Medical Gazette.

At twelve o'clock the official declaration of the final state of the poll took place in the Castle-yard, Liticoln. Sir J. THOROLD, the High Sheriff, announced the num. bers polled for the several candidates, as under:— Lord Worsley Mr. Christopher Mr. Cust It was, therefore, his duty to declare Lord Worsley and Mr. Christopher duly elected to represent the Lindsay Division of Lincolnshire in the Commons' House of Parliament . Lord ' VORSLEY then presented himself, and was received with loud cheers. It was truly said by his friend and colleague, Mr. Christopher, that this was'a contest of principle, and it was most satisfactory to him to find, that he had heen returned after a contest which had been carried on with great spirit on both sides, not by a majority of 31, as at the last elec tion, but, in sp to of all misrepresentation and calumny, by a majority of 879 over the highest Tory cm didate, Mr. Christopher ; and of 1,582 over the gentleman whom Mr Chaplin had brought forward in order to contest with him the representation of the county. Ile had the high honour upon the present occasion to have recorded in his favour more than half the votes of the whole comtitueney.—(Cheers.) He also looked with great pritle and satisfaction to the unexampled number of plumpers he had li reoeived—not less, he was informed by his committee, than 3,3ti.—(Cheers.) Even Mr. Cust, in the address he pub- Lshed on Friday last, expressed his satisfac!ion with that re sult. He had only returne,l from London this morning, when an address was put into his .hands, signed by Mr. Cost, in which he went ou to say, " 1 beg to assure you most sincerely, that I am more than repaid for any exertions or trouble I have taken, by the fact that Lord Worsley now stands so deeply pledged to uphold the agricultural interest, that he can never again be found co-operating with its enemies without in suring his dismissal from your service." He had had the honour of representing them for eleven years, and he had always stood upon protection to the agricultural inte rest ; how, then, could Mr. Cust talk of " recent profes sions," and " nolooked for indulgence ?" He would tell them a fact which was most creditable to his canvassers and Committees. He had polled within 150 of the promises sent in. He knew that what he stated in the House of Commons would occur, and although the farmers might at first be disap pointed with the vote he had given on the question of confi dence in her Majesty's Mini-tern, yet when they came to consi der that the effect of voting with Sir It. Peel would have been WIGTON SHIRE, WIGTON, JLLY o.—This picturesquely situated and pretty town was this morning the scene of great excitement and bustle. Political parties here are nearly at a balance. Great exerti ins are made by the Conservatives to maintain their victorious position, and exertions as great are not wanting on the part of their opponents to take from them their vantage in nlB37 election the contest,a most keen contest nwasro u n d maintainedA t th he-e, e laste ant election, a t t hepresent promises to be fully as severe, if not more so. The hustings were en-cted against the market-cross. At 12 o'clock the candidates and their friends proceeded to the hust iogs. The electors and non-electors assembled amounted to about 1,500 persons. The Sheriff, Mr. J. WALKER, having opened his Court, and gone through the usual preliminaries, called on any elector to come forward and nominate a candidate. Sir W. Al AX WELL then came forward, and proposed Mr. J. Blair, as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parlia ment. He was Recondad by Colonel H. Blair, of Dunskey. The nnise createdby the Liberals made him quite inaudible. Mr. MTAGGART, M.P., for the Wigton district of burghs, came forward and proposed Captain Dalrymple, as a fit cen didate for their suffrages. In doing this, he bore testimony to Mr. Blair's, the late Member's zealous attention to the in terests of the county. He had honestly done his duty to those who returned him. But who had returned him ? A knot of 20 or 30 Tories. It was for them to decide whether they would support Captain Dalrymple, the scion of a noble house, who had Liberal principles born in him, or Mr. Blair, who had not even the advantage of being a Scotchman. —(Laughter and cheers). He hoped they would follow the example of Kirkcudbright, and return Captain Dalrymple by a triumphant majority. Mr. GIFFORD, of Blairboy, seconded the nomination of Cap tain Dalrymple. Mr. J. BLAIR, the Conservative candidate, then stepped forward to address the electors. The noise and uproar created avure, however, so great that we could not distinguish a word he said for a long period. We understaod him to deprecate the budget brought forward by her Majesty's Ministers, and the manner, when beaten on that, that they had appealed to the country, without the hops of success, merely to embarrass their opponents. More than half of the population, the capital, and the industry of this great country were engaged in agri culture, and yet the Ministers hed brought forward measures calculated to effect the ruin of that great interest. The la bouring population would in no way be benefited thereby, for wages would be reduced by the proposed Corn-law in greater. proportion than the price of bread. They had been told not to submit to !the dictation of Tory landlords, but. were there not many of Lord Stair's tenants who would gladly vote for him, heart and soul. if they dared do so?—( Tremendous up roar.) He concluded amid loud cheering and uproar. Captain DALR.YiriPLE then came forward. He hoped to deserve the commendation which had been be,towed upon him by his mover and seconder. He had few claims on the electors. he had no public character and no political experience, and he felt great diffidence in corning before them. But he came for ward on their invitation so struggle for the advancement of those principles vhieh were dear to them, and to overthrow those of their opponents--( Bear.) Mr. Blair had made the Corn-laws a very prominent topic. and claimed the Support of the fanners from his support of that law. He denied that Mr. 'Blair was more a friend of ' the farmer than he Was. How could he be an enernY'of the farmer, when the whole of hissupport, and thai n onis h eady, were derived from the land? He was again,t the present Corn-laws, because all the great authorities of Digland op posed those laws, as in to the landed pdpietor, and still more so to the farile.r. Thee had been MMe' for the purpose of creating high rents. The great evil of the Corn laws was that they created uncertainty and fluettiittiini. and gambling transactions, by which the Corn-law merchants made great fortunes, and the farmers were often ruined. But there were other subjects besides the Corn-laws—there were such things as civil and religious liberty, and this was the occasion on which to speak of them. He wished to give a full and free representation to the people and protection to the voter. Would Mr. Blair do this ? He wished enfran chisement to go hand in hand with education, and that all should have a vote who had intelligence and education to justify it.—(Cheers.) He wished to extend the benifit of education to all classes of the community, without any exclu-' sin. whatever on the grounds of religious creed. Would Mr. Blair do this's' He would give entire freedom of conscience to the Dissenters.—(Cheers.) These were the great points of difference between the Whigs and the Tories. He would read to them a statement of what were the effects of Toryism when the Tories left office in 1830. The Gallant Captain then read a long statement from the Annual Resister, stating that mid night burnings and incendiarism took place all over the coun try, that great disorder prevailed, and finishing with the climax that the King had been obliged to refuse to dine with the Lord Mayor. The Gallant Captain then proceeded to a state ment of the amount of the national debt in 1784, when the Whigs left office, and compared it, with the amount when the Tories left office in 1830. The Tories had lost us America, then our most valuable colony, now our most formidable rival. The people of Scotland were now an enfranchised body. %Viso had from m t them them? — a t franchise? if ear . nd wanted who h tt d s e e tried hold the farmers happy, rich, and independent, and to secure these objects he should think it his sacred duty to attempt, if returned by them to Parliamen'. But there were those who called themselves the farmers' friends, who, after the farmer had paid his rent, in sisted on his vote, and did their best to ruin him if he refused it. lie wished to look on the farmers as friends. and not as slaves. —( Cheers.) In conclusion he begged them to come early to the poll. undi come all, and then they would make such an ex ample of their opponents that the very boldest Tory in Scot land should feel his hair stand on end.—(Cheers.) The &met FF then put the question to the electors to choose their representative, and declared the show of hands to be in favotir.of Captain Dalrymple. Mr. Blair, having demanded a poll, the Sheriff appointed the poll to commence on Tuesday next at nine o'clock, at Wigton and Stranraer, and to conclude at four o'clock on Wednesday. t • Tjfiresident of the Nottingham Farming and • lit - 0 Grazing. ociety, on presenting a prize cup to a young man, thus addressed him—" Now, young man, take this cup, and remember always to plough deep and drink liallow,'!,. £1099 4 0 The returns for the two preceding years are nearly the same.

It is plain, from some of these entries, that the public money is actually employed by the Church to defend its rebel- Roil against the State which created and supports her ! Surely such a gross misapplication of the national funds will be prevented in future ! It is stated in the return that the allowance to the Church was ormerly paid out of the hereditary reve nues of the Crown, and that it is now paid out of the Exchequer in Scotland. It does not appear when the present allowance was fixed, or whether the 'Non-Intru monists have succeeded in getting it increased to its pre sent amount ; but this is by no means improbable, judg ing from their success in other cases. • Can any of our readers tell when the payment of 2001. a year to the Moderators of the General Assembly commenced ? Scotsman. ROYAL MARINES. (From the United Service Gazette.) We have been assured, from time to time, both by Admiralty officials in Parliament, and their toadies out of doors, that the officers of the Royal Marines corps have no ground of complaint in reference to the distribu tion to them of rewards for their services during the campaign in Syria. It was affirmed, indeed, with that unblushing effrontery which characterises Most of the the assertions of the thick and thin supporters of the Government, that the honours and rewards distributed on account of the Syrian campaign were fairly divided between the navy and the marines. Facts are stubborn things, and cannot be disputed. We have already shown in what proportion the honours were distributed for this campaign between these two arms of the service. The following is a comparative account of the bestowal of twose substantial boons, promotion and pecuniary re ward : X s. d. 1 Commodore, from 2d to Ist class, increase per diem 1 16 0 1 Secretary to ditto..., 1 Clerk to Secretary.. 0 16 5 0 2 9 . _ 1 Commander to Commodore's Captain 13 Lieutenants, to be Commanders, and ap pointed to ships on full pay 3 5 0 1 Lieutenant, from Jtmior to First 26 Mates, to Lieutenant's full pay, appointed to ships, and supernumeraries 7 16 0 15 Mates, to Lieutenant's half-pay 0 6 3 16 9 5 13 Commanders Captains half-pay Xs 4 0 9..Liettenzatsrto Gonitnander's ditto 0 13 G• £5 17 6 5 17 6 Total daily expense, exclusive of Masters, Surgeons, and Pursers lO 11 11 From this account it will be seen that the navy has obtained an increase of army rank to the following ex tent, vi z ._i brigadier general (temporary), 14 lieute nant-colonels, 22 majors, and 42 captains (permanent.) The lieutenant colonels obtain the rank of colonel after haVing been posted three years, and the whole of the ranks an increase of pay by service and seniority. '• 'Thirteen Lieutenants have, it will have been seen, been Maile'COMmanders and appointed to ships, with an in ereaSe to their pay, at the lowest calculation, of ss. per . diein 'each ; and, had the 22 Lieutenants promoted, been pled oti the , half-pay of Commanders, seine would have sacrificed 2s. Gd. 'per, diem, .but others would have only loSt 15..6d. ; , which, when it is remembered that on half pay„officers, may live as they like, dress as they like, and reside wherever it may be most convenient to thorn to 'reside, must be admitted to leave them no great cause - ..af . complaint. Let us see how the case stands with regard to the Marines 'employed in•the - same service.- Captains of the Royal Marines have been rewarded by the brevet rank of Major, with an increase to their full pay of. only 2s. per diem, with the contingency of losing 3s. per diem if placed on half-pay, as well as of deriving no benefit from their brevet rank of major when promoted. It cannot surely be pretended that these advantages are by any means commensurate with those which have been con ferred on the sister branch of the service for the same campaign. The officers of the Royal Marines, whilst they rejoice that their brethren in arms of the navy have had their due, cannot but feel that they have been most shamefully and unjustly used—an opinion which has re ceived confirmation not only from many officers in the navy, but from several of those who have participated in the above-mentioned rewards. The sum stopped from the pay of Captains or Royal Marines (the only persons in the fleet who were called upon to pay for them) for their daily rations, would have given the brevet to all the Captains of that corps employed on the coast of Syria, and surely they are not less entitled to consideration than all the Captains, Com manders, First Lieutenants (with some others), and forty-two mates of the navy. Have they performed their duty less gallantly or less faithfully ? The Royal Marines form one-fourth of the force on board a ship. The proportion in the Navy and Marines is in the ratio'of twenty to one in favour of the former. Should there be, as appears inevitable, an augmentation of the corps, the subalterns generally (many of whom have very hardly earned it) will obtain . promotion, but the captains will derive no benefit from the increase, un less it includes an addition of field officers. The subal terns employed in the late campaign in Syria are not eligible for brevet rank ; but when staff appointments become vacant, many will have strong claims to be ap pointed to them.
