MORNING SUN SPAIN. Nay-. 20.—The Stock Market has been remarkably active this day. The Three per Cents. have been done as high as 24, and the Fives, with all the overdue dividend warrants attached to them, close at 33i- at sixty days, and 32i- for cash, and the total amount of business done is about 390,0001. sterling. The rate of continuation is, as you will observe, 18 per cent. It is said that the Com pany of the Cinco Gremios, now winding:up its affairs, has this day availed itself of the favourable opportunity, and sold about 2,900,000 dollars of said stock which it held, to be paid for this next week. It now remains to be seen who will gain the day ; whether the supporters of the market or those acting for the fall, the-struggle among whom is very great, and many failures must be the inevitable consequence. Such of your readers as are holders of lisessury bonds will be glad to hear that M. Cantero, the Director of the Sinking Fund, has sent in his report on Mr. Tasker's petition, which is favour able to the interests of the parties concerned. It could'hardly well be otherwise. Orders have been issued to all Generals and other mili tary men absent from Spain, whether on leaving or other wise, to return hither forthwith—such as do, if not guilty, will continue to receive their half-pay, but such as do not within the given short time will be cashiered. The Cortes are to meet on the 26th of December, and most factious ones will they prove to the present Minis ters, who will be compelled to dissolve theM if they mean to do any good far the country. If they wish to carry out their measures of wholesome reform and ame lioration in every branch, the present Ministers, with all their faults, should be supported, because they fortn the best Cabinet that has ruled the country during the last eight years—we might well say many more—and if they have not all the power, we cannot but give them credit fir an honest intention of contributing with all their might to the happiness and prosperity of the country. The Regent is expected on the 23d. He cannot come before, because he waits for the final construction of the triumphal arch. Pity that those about him . do not re mind him that the very same arch, erected on the very same spot, has served for the reception of former tyrants and absolute Sovereigns ! Pity that he cannot feel that these things, instead of enhancing, only lower him in public estimation ! The finding of the Court-martial held this day on twelve officers of the Royal Guard is not known, but there is good reason for hoping, although the Fiscal de mands the last penalty of the law for most of them, that none of tho' five in custody will be doomed to it, but that their lives4ill be spared. How could it well be other wise, in the face of the culpable leniency with which the Barcelona and Valencia, ruffians have been dealt with, by being suffered to escape ? M. Garcia Hidalgo, whose arrest I mentioned the other day, has been allowed to go at large on parole ; and M. Burana, a most respectable, wealthy gentleman, who had been kept "auseer'et," is now allowed to see his friends—thanks to a declaration in his favour given by M. Isturiz, with great personal danger, being himself con cealed beyond the reach of the authorities. Such is the system of regularity that begins to be ob servable in the finance departments, that remittances, in money or bills, are every now and then received from the provinces, as surplus of the monthly revenues over the amount of drafts drawn by the Minister ; thirty-six cart loads of silver and copper coin arrived from Toledo yes terday at the public Treasury. The navy of Spain will be composed of one seventy-four, five frigates, five brigs, three schooners, and as many steamers by the Ist of March, besides those on the Cuba station, and they are all to be at sea, and upon the war establishment, it being further intended to build another line of battle ship, two frigates, and two corvettes against December, 1842. CONVOCATION OF THE CORTES. (From the Madrid Gazette of November 3.) EXPOSE OF MOTIVES OF THE MINISTER OF THE INTE- RIOR TO THE REGENT. Your Excellency—The laws decreed last Session by the Cortes with so much zeal and wisdom are of the highest importance and have had immense results. It would have been desirable that they could have continued their duties until they had satisfied the wants of the peo ple and consolidated the principles of the Constitution ; but the Legislature had prolonged its sittings consider• ably beyond the period convenient to the private affairs and to the situation of the Senators and the Deputies, and which could no longer be neglected. For this rea son your Highness deigned to grant them a short re spite, and to defer the completion of your vast desires for the welfare of the magnanimous nation which has con fided to your Highness the direction of its affairs during the minority of her Majesty Isabella IL . . . . The revolt of October hiving been crushed in the bud the country having re-assumed its normal state, the re presentatives of the nations have taken the repose nP-. cessary, and regulated their private affairs ; thq t .tuie is come for them again to take charge of the cinte rest, in order to realise the ConstitutieP, and open to the nation the high road to grandeur 1..v1(1 prosperity. Up to this moment the budget has rni been discussed, or so tardily that it can suffice bnly for a short period. The Government has proniised to present this year the bud get of the next., and would have done so before but for the late events, and for the exclusive measure resulting therefrom. The organical laws, with others of which the Government will perceive the importance, necessi tate the co-operation of the Cortes and their speedy con vocation. For this reason the undersigned, convinced of the importance of the said debates, has the honour of re questing your Highness's approval of the decree for the convocation of the Cortes in ordinary. Saragossa, Nov. 16, 1341. FACUNDO INFANTE. DECREE. " Isabella 11., by the grace of God, &c. Ardently de siring the consolidation of the liberal institutions which the nation has given to itself, by means of wise and op portune laws, and the proposal, discussion, and approba tion of all other laws tending to the prosperity of the country, and to surround the country with the splendour and grandeur of which it is so worthy ; in virtue of the power given to us by the Constitution promulgated on the 18th June, 1839, and after having heard the Council of Ministers, we have resolved to convoke, and do, by the present, convoke, the Extraordinary Cortes, con formably to the said Constitution, for the 26th December next. We desire and ordain that, on the said 26th De cember, the Senators and Deputies shall meet in the capital of Spain, to hold their usual Session. " Duca de la VITORIA." The following is the decree of the Regent, dated, Sa ragossa, the 10th, relieving from blockade the coast of Cantabrie, " The total extinction of the rebellion having taken place, which, amongst other measures, rendered neces sary the blockade of the coast of Cantabria, from Castro Urdiales to Fuentarabia, with the exception of those two ports, and those of Guetaria, San Sebastian, and Pas sages, as has been stated in the decree dated the 17th of October last, desirous that the interests of commerce may be no further injured, and by the advice of the Mi nisters with whose consent I act, I, as Regent of the Kingdom, in the name, and d ur i ng t h e m i nor i ty of her Majesty the Queen Donna Isabella, decree as follows : " The blockade of the coast of Cantabria, established by the aforementioned decree of the 17th of October, is removed ; consequently all the ports of the said coast will be open to the vessels frequenting them, and in conformity with the laws.' " Saragossa, Nov. 10. " The Duke of VICTORY." PORT UGAL. The Brarranza steamer, Captain Lewis, arrived on Sa turday at Fal m outh, f urn i s hi ng o ur usua l con ti nenta l files of papers and correspondence. She left Gibraltar on the 18th, Cadiz 19th, Lisbon 22d, could not commu nicate with Oporto, and from Vigo 24th. Passengers— Capt. B agot and servant, Capt. Wharton, 46th Regiment; Lieut. AVembw e ll, M r. S amu d a, and Mr. G. P. R i ckards '_tile principal matters of interest by this arrival are the . prorogation o f the Legislative Chambers by Queen Donna state Maria, the disturbed of the political relations be tween Portugal and Spain, and the method proposed by the Government to meet the demands of the next di vidends. LISBON, Nov. 22.—TheQueen, in p erson , c l ose d th e - Cortes on the 18th inst , o , of which the occasion her Majesty pronounced a spe ec h lation : the following iz a trans " Gentlemen—After the constant and assiduous atten- I I tion you have bestowed upon the varied business of the present session, your minds require to recruit their 1 strength by the enjoyment of some period of repos e be fore resuming their important lab ours " I congratulate myself with the members of th e l eg i s _ prolonged lative body on t he zeal and diligence which they have thwisheh shown for for the pub lic service during sion, and the part icular care w ith they have attended to the subje cts recommen ded by nie o n opening the Chambers. " The most important and urgent of those subject was doubtless the attention claimed by the finance: without which it would b e impossible to meet the andnu merous and long-standing engagements of the country, or to set in due order the other branches of th e Adminis tration. "I cannot but lament that the public exigencies and the sacred obligations incumbent upon the nation should have rendered necessary the imposition of Some new taxes. I am, however, convinced that my subjects will readily make any sacrifice required for the support of the national honour and credit. " You have seen that public security has increased in the interior of the kingdom. The banditti who infested Algarve and part of Alemtejo have diminished conside rably in number, owing to the effectual measures adopted against them, to the zeal of the authorities, and to the efficacious co-operation of the military force. This sub ject continues to employ the attention of my Government. " I thank the Chambers for the supplies they have voted, as well to defray the charges of the public service as to meet those engagements to which the national cre dit stands pledged. _ , " Sirs---:Theconfidence I have in your enlightened patriotism makes me feel assured that after retiring to your respective provinces, and there collecting from per sonal observation further stores of knowledge as to the wants and resources of the people, and meditating at leasure upon the means of promoting the public welfare, you will. return to your Parliamentary duties animated by the same noble sentiments which have hitherto di rected your conduct, and with the, same attention to the greaktni of consolidating the political institutes of the monarchy, and concurring towards the prosperity of the nation. " The session is closed." The encomium upon the constant and assiduous atten tion of the Chambers to their duties, sounded much like a joke, considering that the senators seldom met in suf ficient number for the transaction of business, and that the closing of the session was actually put of from day to day for more than a week owing to the same cause, and to the consequent impossibility of concluding some matters which had necessarily to be got through before the legislative lxidies could be dismissed. Two or three hundred Uhristino soldiers and officers implicated in the late attempted insurrection, having re cently taken refuge in the Portuguese province of Tras as Montei, the Spanish Regent demanded that they should be delivered over to him, grounding his demand upon a Convention entered into by the two countries in the year 1823, whereby it was stipulated that military deserters should be mutually given up in all cases. The Portuguese Government, fully aware that if the unfor tunate officers fell into the hands of their enemies, some of them at least would share the fate of Leon and Qui roga, have, without positively denying the obligation imposed upon them by that Convention, been endeavour ing to evade it by delay, so as to give time for Espar tero's wrath tot subside. I learn that this manoeuvre has been so far effectual that he has reduced his demand to the delivery of the two principal officers—namely, Briga dier Ruy and 'Colonel Pezuelo ; but upon this he posi tively insists. The two individuals in question are, how ever, said to be at present in concealment in this city, and to be about to embark for England. " Among the items of the Budget of the general in come of 10,332,626.618 reis (2,367.8931. 12s. sterling), are set apart 1,074,755,090 reis (246,3001. sterling) for the payment of the dividends of the foreign loan ; to insure which the Lisbon Bank will co-operate with the Board of Public Credit agreeably to a portaria from the Minister of Finance, published in the Diario do Govern° this day; and under the head of ExtraordinaryExpenses,' 100,000,000 reis (22,9201. sterling) for the amount of the claims of the officers who served in the liberating army, which may be liquidated by the mixed commission in London during the economic year ending the 30th of June, 1842 ; 48,000,000 reis (11,0001. sterling) for the four instalments so long due to the British Peninsular war officers of the Portuguese army who have been many years pensioned from that service ; and 402,370,293 reis (91,3711. 1 ls. 91. sterling) for part payment of the British Commissariat in 1827, and civil claims. " The Opposition press, having commented upon the speech from throne in rather strong language, more ,particularly in alluding to no mention having been made to the existing constitution, or to the foreign policy of the country, has fallen under the displeasure of the Go vernment, and several indictments for an abuse of the liberty of the press have been issued. The accusations now against the Nacional are 14 ; Revolucao de Se ' tembro, 10; Constitutional (a Chartist Opposition paper); ; and Portugal Velho (a Royalist paper), 4. " The loan fir 500 conies de reis (115,0001. sterling), which, as mentioned in my last communication, Ministers were authorised to effect by mixed operations to make up the deficit of 650,375,923 reis (149,0001. sterling) only if the Treasury statement can be relied upon, has this day been advertised for tenders, which are to be opened in the Minister's bureau fifteen days from the 20th instant. " The capitalization of the active and inactive classes, widows', and orphans' allowances, &c., is looked upon generally as a coup de banque, it more or less being only available to certain individuals within the walls of the Treasury, who are, lamentable to observe, said to be on a perfectly good understanding with the agiotas, or usu rers, out of doors, to the prejudice of the numerous pen sioners whose miserable pittances, even if _paid in full, would scarcely amount to a cammon maintenance. " The revenue of the Lisbon Custom-house and Ex cise -office, and the Custom-house of Oporto, for the month of October last, paid in debentures, ex-paper money, and coin, amounts conjointly to 425,965,639 rein ; equal to 97,6171. 2s. 6d. sterling, showing an increase on the preceding month of September of 27,9461. 2s. 2d. sterling. "As regards the guerillas in the southern provinces little or nothing has transpired of late, which may in a measure be accounted for by the heavy rains which have . in a degree rendered the roads impervious. _ _ " Yesterday (Sunday) being so boisterous and rainy, the Portuguese ships of war, French corvette, British brig Espoir, and Braganza steam-packet, although in the morning dressed in their variegated flags for the express purpose of celebrating the birth of the Prince Royal of Great Britain, did not salute, which demons- tration was deferred until to-day.

BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Nov. 27.—The Central `t*ction has com ---13.•11...i.c Debt and the Do pleted the examination of the tations, and appointed M. - its reporter. It has also finished its examinatlc.r ji . the Ways and Means, and that of the DeparPLent of Justice. The examination of the Budget, of .ne Department of the Interior and Public `Yorks P7oceed rapidly. The Central Section, for ex an."l:ig the Budget of the Department of Foreign Af t..ars and the Marine will meet to-day. The object of the project of law, for the expulsion of foreigners, is to prolong till th e I s t o f J anuar y, 1845, the law of the 24th of March, 1838, with the excep tion, however, of the second article of that law, which entirely protects from expulsion a foreigner married to a Belgian woman, to whom he has children, born in Bel gium. By the project of law of the Minister of Justice, foreigners of this class may be expelled in future like others. The preliminary inquiry respecting thelate conspiracy is going on with great activity; three examining Judges are engaged consecutively in it, every day, till a late hour in the night. More than 100 witnesses have been heard this week; the accused are kept in the strictest seclusion, and undergo frequent examinations. The Poles residing in Belgium, will celebrate, at Brussels, on Monday, next, the 11th anniversary of their revolution. A report was spread yesterday morning that there had been riots at Liege, and even that depots of powder had been discovered in several houses. The whole is a mere fable, the only foundation for which was the breaking of a few lamps in the night by some intoxicated persons. SWITZERLAND. A kind of revolution has taken place at Geneva, if so alarming a name can be given to a change which de stroys the exclusive influence of a score of rich and old families, and opens the councils to the mass of respect able citizens. This is reform, not revolution. All the Swiss cantons have undergone this reform during the last ten years. Tessin began even before the Revolu tion of July ; and many have led to convulsions. The Bernese farmers have been obliged to exile their aristo cracy. An attempt at reform in Basle, led to a separa tion of town and country into two cantons. In Schwitz and Valais it produced bloodshed, as well as in Basle. And the present unsettled state of things in Argau and Lucerne, has been produced by the same changes. Lu cerne, after having made a Radical reform, made a counter reform, and placed power in the hands of its priesthood. Geneva could not escape. Such are the remote causes of the revolution which opens the borough of Geneva. The immediate cause, however, is curious. It arose in the disputes respecting the suppressed convents of Argau. In the votes of the Diet one was surprised to find the deputies of Protestant States embrace the cause of convents and hyper-Catho licism. They did so from a religious-aristocratic feeling, akin to Puseyism ; the result of which was, to disgust the religious-democratic and liberal party. The deputy of Vaud was called to order, and received counter instructions. In Valais troubles are pending in con sequence. The deputy of Protestant Neufchatel cannot be punished or displaced, the Prussian Government sup porting his conduct. But in Geneva the Government itself has fallen in consequence of the conduct of its Deputy. The zealous Calvinists of Geneva united in an association on the 3d of March last, in consequence of the vote of the Deputy Rigaud; and it is this Association, by labouring, and preaching, and clamouring for poli tical reform, in order to the preservation of Protestant doctrine, which has produced the revolution of the other day. This revolution consists in the promise of the ex isting Council to call a General Council, especially elected and charged with the task of reforming the Constitution. (From the Journal de Geneve.) It is to be feared that public discontent will break out if the Council of State does not add to its programme the reforms demanded. This is what we said in our number of the 20th. Before that, on the 18th, we said that " The authorities intended to have the Tewn-hall guarded during the deliberations of the Representative Government by a few companies of the National Militia. This mark of diffidence on the part of Government might produce unfortunate events." The events have .verified our predictions. As soon as the projects of law to be discussed were known, there was great agitation. The necessity of a constituent assembly has become quite popular, and the resolution of enforcing the recourse to this mode of revision has been taken generally. On the 21st (Sunday), on account of the silence observed by Government, the agitation increased. . Nevertheless, no groupd formed in th streets, and no kind of disturbance took place. The morning of the 22d was patiently waited for, when of a sudden it was learned that Govern ment, frightened by rumours, no doubt exaggerated, had called out the militia, and caused the Hotel de Ville to be guarded by armed troops. At this news, immediately con firmed by the sight of some militia, a shout of indigna tion rose from all sides, and the detachment had scarcely formed before the Town-hall than the people gathered round them, and began to hoot and shout at them, even through the night, in order to show their disapprobation of this great, that ' Finally, the was so' reat that th e doors of the Town-hall exasperation wereoblig ed to be shut, and even barricadoed. Ne ver th e l ess , G overnmen t h a d in public dise6onten p eo ro o c v proclamation.— " Citizens eveninr, comprehended the necessity of calming the ing the followingt by making some promises, and publish " Citizens of lamatio • agitation has manif est e d a,—Since the last few weeks a po litical Council of State had to seek t h e itself among you ; the oifet ca m us o e d o ifi f o t a h t i i s o ; n i believed i t othe that cause to be in the desire t e a d nc l,o examine the in stitutions which govern us ; changes which were to take place first , prepared pro jects of reform upon which the Representative is about to be called to deliberate.

State counted upon the calmness and moderation of the Genevese, which, in difficult times, has distinguished them ; and now that sinister rumours are spread that there are projects for hindering the deliberation s of th e Council, it appeals to every citizen that he may use every means to prevent disorders, which would tarnish the honour which the nation has, until now, kept spotless. In the name of the Council of State, " DEROCHE, Secretary of State. " Geneva, Nov. 21, 1841." In reply to this proclamation of the Council of State,: the Association of the 3d of March published another, begging its adherents to remain calm and confident in'the purity of their motives, notwithstanding the summons of the armed force by the Council. They would remain united, and continue to call for the rights of the Genevese people. At last Monday arrived. Some companies of rural militia arrived, not very numerous. Those of the town did not attend. Such force as did collect mustered be. fore the Hotel de Ville, and endeavoured to keep back the people, till, pressed on all hands without power of resisting, they resohed to disband, to their own relief THE SUN, LONDON. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30 1841. and that of the citizens. With their dispersal the irri tation was appeased. The Council met at ten o'clock, and were able to deliberate without disturbance. The people were, indeed, impatient, but were calmed, espe cially by M. Bachelard, one of the members of the As sociation of the 3d of March. It was then rumoured that the Council had appointed a commission to examine immediately whether it would be better to call a consti tuante, or for the present Council to prepare an electoral law. The first opinion prevailed, and the proposal of a constituante was adopted ; and the people dispersed with loud acclamations. MESMERISM, BY MR. HALSE. A Lecture upon this subject was yesterday delivered at the City Hall, Chancery-lane, by a gentleman named W. H. Heise, who promises in his advertisements to prove not only the reality of the influence called animal magnetism, but to produce evidence through its means of " an intermediate link between the physical and the spiritual world," and to display" thb revelation of God, as the Triune Magnet of universal attraction, genera tive peace and love." There were about one hundred and twenty persons present. The Lecturer read a well composed but somewhat minute history of Mesmerism, from the days of its sup posed founder, and declared his belief in the existence of a transmissible nervous fluid, the course and operation of which, in ono human being, could be regulated and governed by the will of another. Some impatience having been manifested on the part of the audience, he postponed, to a future occasion, the further elucidation of this theory. He related the following case as that (we understood) of one of the patients whom he was about to introduce : AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. We have received by express from Liverpool New York Papers, two days later than those brought by the Acadie steamer. The Oxford packet ship, Captain Ilathbone, was telegraphed off Point Lynas, at 11, A .M., yesterday, and was towed in by a steamer about half-past ten last evening. The Patrick Henry from New York, which was to sail from New York on the 7th inst., is telegraphed, but no letters or papers have yet been received. The following extracts from the New York Enquirer furnish the latest news up to the Ist inst. : " A friend of mine (a female about 20 years of age) consented to allow me to mesmerise her. The first attempt continued for half an hour, but no effect was produced. The next day I repeated the opera tion, and now partially succeeded, for I threw her into such a profound sleep, that we were full half an hour awaking her ; still there was nothing save the profoundness of the sleep which appeared at 'all re markable. On the next day I again went to work, and in two minutes she was in the mesmeric state. The effects now produced Were beyond what I had any idea of, and I respectfully request particular attention to my description of them. 1 took her by the hand and lifted the arm in a horizontal position ; I then let go her hand, still the hand and arm remained in the position I placed it. I now lilted the other arm in the same manner ;it also remained fixed. Thus was she, with her two arms extended, aid as motionless as a marble statue, She continued thus for ten minutes, at which time I placed her arms in their former posi tion: glio now opnned het eyes for a few minutes, but they were fixed to one spot ; I tried if the eye-halls would follow the motion of my hand, but I fiiund they would not. When I lifted her arms, which I did after wards several times, I always noticed that there would be a euddnn Shoat tir tWitali pale thrniigh them. and at that moment they beca me as st iff as a n iron rod. My next ex periment was to go to the othcr end of the room in order to set ;llshe would attempt to foliose me, but she did not ; I then tailed t o h er; an d t o ld bar to come to inc. At this moment 1 'ids flidst tilafrtietli rof the words had scarcely escaped my lips before her hands and legs were in violent motion struggling to rise from the sofa. I kept her in this Way for one minute laid then went to her ; she was immediately still. I again west to the other end of the root, but I had no Moat moved than she attempted to follow me ; I again approach e d her, and by the aid of her sister, we lifted her from the sofa, anj.. l I told her to walk with me ; there was now a smile ob served on her countenance, and she walked tolerably well ; but the most remarkable thing of all now occur red. I feel a curious sensation run over me as I write it. Whilst she was walking round the room her face was continually turned towards me ; at first I took no notice of it, but having desired her mother to support her whilst I attended to something else, her sister ex claimed, Look at her, she's turning her head all round after Mr. Halse, she'll surely twist her neck off.' 'When I heard this I approached her; her head had regained its na tural position (her eyes were close shut all the time); again her thce was drawn towards me, and, wishing to try if I were really the attracting power, I requested her mo ther to take my place as before, whilst I stood in front of her. I had no sooner quitted my place and stood in front, than her face was towards me ; I now moved from side to side, and whenever I moved, she moved also. Being beside her mother I quickly got to the other side of her by walking behind her back, so that if her eyes had been open she could not have seen me ; strange to say, the head immediately turned, and her face was again opposite to mine. I now jumped behind her back, the head made a sudden twist ; I immediately got in front, and the head regained its place. On my at tempting to leave her she struggled hard to follow, and I therefore conducted her to the sofa. Now follow some more remarkable effects ; indeed, so remarkable, to me, however, that when I awoke next morning it was some time before I could be convinced that all this was not a dream. Being firmly seated on the sofa with her face turned towards mine (whichever side of her I sat), I asked what the time was, she said something, but we could not make out what it was ; again I asked her, and she replied in a very low voice, apparently as if the sound came from the stomach, half-past four.' On referring to my watch I found that this was exactly the time to a minute. In ten minutes after, I again asked her ; she replied in the same voice, I don't know.' I requested her father, mother, and sister, to ask her ; they did so, but no reply whatever could be obtained from her. I again put the question to her, but she talked in an unintelligible manner for about two mi. mites, and as often as I would speak to her, so often would she reply—but she would never reply to the others ; this I considered most strange. " My next experiment will cause more disbelief than any of the rest, for I candidly admit I expect very few to beFeve those accounts ; and if this letter bad been the production of any one else and I had read it, I should certainly have cried out, impostor ;' but with such experiments, before me, I believe, in future, I shall consider no man an impostor before I have proved him to be such. To speak the truth, I scarcely know how to credit it myself, so unwilling am I to believe in the effects Of the mesmeric influence. My principal reason for mentioning this, is to show I am no enthusiast in this science, if it may be so termed. But to proceed ; I requested her to sing —she did so, but such a tune as I never before heard, yet not in the least inharmonious. 1 then desired her to sing " Rory O'More ;" she sang it as perfect as she would is her waking state, with this exception, that the sound appeared to proceed from her stomach. After desiring her to sing various tunes, in which request she complied, I made several experiments on her, and the only thing I could compare the action to, was, the magnetic power of a loadstone on a steel needle, for she would follow me with precisely the same regu larity. I applied very strong ammonia to her nostrils, so strong that neither of us could bear it for one second ; she took not the least notice of it. I placed cold black bottles to her face and neck, but no effect was produced—she was asleep as sound as ever. It was now time to awake her, for she had been in the mesmeric state about an hour, and her limbs were get ting as cold as ice ; we therefore proposed, before doing so, to lead her down stairs, but when about half way she partially awoke, and her mother noticing her place her hand to the back of her head, requeste d she might be awoke. I consented, and in a few minutes afterwards .he was out of the mesmeric state. She complained of great stiffness in her limbs, and of a heavy weight on her eye-lids, and she felt exceedingly nervous and cold. On telling her she had been asleep above an hour, she was much surprised, declaring she had only dosed for a minute or two. On telling her to look around and see where she was, she became very much agitated, fell into a sleep for a minute or two, and then awoke per fectly composed." The lecture. which was read in an effective and modest manner, was concluded amidst much applause, notwithstanding the previous manifestations of impa tience which we have noticed. At the Stock Exchange yesterday morning the trans actions were only to a limited extent, and without much variation in prices. The Albany Evening Journal says:—" The bills of the Commercial Bank of Buffalo are received at all the Banks in this city." We have no change in the condition of the cotton market to notice. The sales were very limited at former prices. _ In the coffee, sugar, and provision markets generally, a good degree f activity prevailed. • PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 31, P.M. There was but little done at the Stock Exchange on Saturday, and the prices of most descriptions declined still further.

HEATH or VICKSBURG.— The Whig of Tuesday the 19th says :—Our sexton reports thirteen interments for the last five days, though there is not more than half of them from yellow fever. From the new cases that oc cur daily we cannot say that the fever is abated—though from what we can learn it is of a milder type than it was some days ago. PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Whilst Sir Robert and Lady Peel are giving a series of splendid banquets to the fortu nate faction who have again contrived to g e t their rapacious mawleys into John Bull's pocket, and Sir Robert is carefully dressing up state ments of savings' banks, &c., to prove that the country is in a most flourishing state, it is de lightful to find the godlike work of charity going on, without distinction of party, in nume rous parts of the country. I venture to suggest that the fund raised for the poor be divided Into two distinct parts—one to, purchase food, the other for warm clothing . Thus those, and th ere are many, who would object to contribute to buy bread, when only a fraction would find its way to the poor man, and the rest stick in the land lord's pocket, could, without any violation of their feelings, subscribe to the clothing fund. I respectfully submit this hint for your considera tion, and am, Sir, your humble servant, THOMAS BRUMSLEY. DISTRESS AT BLACKBURN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlTy—Being of opinion that brief statements of the distress of the country, circulated by your valuable paper, may direct the attention of the community, and perchance, of the Government to its cause, I trouble you with the following. Our condition in Blackburn is bad, but our prospects are worse. Failures are numerous, and more are apprehended. Subscriptions for the relief of the destitute are contemplated, and a considerable sum will probably be raised for that purpose. But, Sir, we want justice. The people are willing to work for their support, let the Government but give them justice, by removing the iniquitous bread tax, and alms will be unne cessary. A FRIEND OF THE POOR. [We should be glad to receive similar commu nications authenticated by the name and address of the parties from other towns.---En. Sun.] SURREY COUNTY MEETING. THE PRINCE OF WALES. _ _ In accordance with a numerously signed requisition to William Leveson Gower, Esq., the High Sheriff of Surrey, yesterday was appointed for holding a county meeting at the Spread Eagle Inn, Epsom, for the pur pose of adopting addresses of congratulation to her Ma jesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, on the late auspicious event of the birth of a Prince, heir apparent to the Throne, and to express the augmented gratification of the county from the official reports of the unimpaired health of her Majesty. The High Sheriff presided. There were also present H. Kemble, Esq., J. Trotter, Esq., and E. A n t ro b us , Members for the County ; Colonel Challenor, the Rev. Mr. Rodgers, J. Bonser, Esq., D. Barclay, Esq., Captain Parma, C. Barclay, Esq., W. Crawfurd, Esq., Under- Sheriff Abbott, and several other gentlemen of influence and station in the county, and the attendance would have been much more numerous but for the flooded state of the country. Mr. Halse then produced successively three young ladies, who were severally sent into the magnetic sleep, and gave, in a series of varied experiments, what ap peared to us to be unequivocal manifestations of their complete reduction under the power of the magnetiser. The interruptions, however, which were created by a large portion of the audience, prevented that distinct development of the phenomena which has already, in other cases, been reported in The Sun. The opposi tion which the Lecturer met with was by no means of an illiberal character, and, although sometimes clamorous, was at all events ingenuous, and conducted with perfect fairness. After three hours of Cavilling, rather playful than ill-natured, Mr. Halse's opponents came to an un derstanding with him, that they would give him an opportunity of trying his powers upon a certain number of individuals, to be selected by themselves. It is due to Mr. Halso to say, that he conducted himself throughout with very rare calmness and self possession, under very trying circumstances, upon his first appearance before a public company. The lecture will be repeated on Wednesday, and we hope that the cand our w hich was evident in those who were most prominent in their interruptions, will induce them to a mor e or d er l y cou rse of proceeding on that occasion.., Before the proceedings commenced, Captain Parratt apologised for the non-attendance of the Earl of Love lace, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and accounted for it by stating that his Lordship was engaged in im portant business in Somersetshire. Mr. Trotter apolo gised for the absence of Mr. Dennison, the other Mem ber for the county, which he said was occasioned by a severe fit of the gout. The HIGH SHERIFF addressing the meeting said that it was convened in consequence Of two requisitions most numerously signed, and it gave him the greatest plea sure to acquiesce in the prayer of those requisitions, and he felt satisfied that the meeting in expressing their congratulations upon the late auspicious event, were only expressing the unanimous sentiments of the whole county. Her Majesty, by her conduct since she had ascended the throne, had endeared herself to all classes of her subjects, and was loved and revered by them all. and they would therefore gratefully offer up to her their congratulations at her recovery from the severe trial she had recently undergone, and also express their gratifica don at the, auspicious event w hi c h h ad taken place. When they looked back to the history of their country, it was not difficult to account for the predeliction which existed for female Sovereigns; for it was under the sway of a female that this country had attained the highest pitch of glory—and from what they had experienced of the mode in which her Majesty had exercised the great prerogatives that were entrusted to her, they had every reason to believe that her rule would be equally glorious to the country ; and that from the bright example the young Prince would see before him, and the education he would receive, that, under Providence, they might in dulge a well-grounded hope, that when he should be called on to govern this great empire, that be would fol low in thl footsteps of their beloved Sovereign. A loyal address to the Queen, and addresses also to Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent, were then moved and seconded, and unanimously agreed to. DOMESTIC ECONOMY !—Same time ago two brothers of the commune of Bugey, in the Saone et Loire, had to divide between themselves the property of their deceased father. Among the effects was an old upright clock, which one might have supposed was not easily divisible, but the difficulty was got over by one taking the works, and the other the case. When the lat ter brought his share home, his neighbours inquired what use he could convert to. " Oh!" said he, "it will serve to put my wife in when she is dead, and it will soon be wanted, for she is confined to her bed, and cannot live long ?" The poor woman heard the conversation, and with tears and cries remonstrated with her unfeeling husband. He, however, placed the clock. case by the side of his bed, and there it remained as a warning to the poor creature, who nevertheless staggered on against her complaints for two long years. She died at last, and was by her determined husband locked up in the clock case as her coffin. In spite of the outcries of his fellow parishioners, and even the more solemn representations of the Cu re , h e i nsisted u on having his late partner thus interred, and interred she p was accordingly.

LONDON: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1841. We have reason to belieVe that the great and good cause of Corn-law abolition is making con siderable progress amongst those classes who have hitherto preferred contending by themselves for the Charter to contending with others for one of the main benefits which the Charter, were it granted, could bestow. To use the words of Mr. CARPENTER, in his well-written little work on " Relief for the Unemployed," which we can praise with the better grace as it advocates emigration to which we are opposed, the Chartists begin to think, we apprehend, "that they ought not too exclusively to occupy them selves in discussing political or other theoretical questions where numbers of our fellow -country men are plunged, or being plunged, to the very depths of poverty and destitution." They are no longer justified, they think, in selfishly refusing to lift them up into a better state of society, lest in so doing they should weaken the motives of our rulers to reform that legislative process which inevitably produces these calamities. The Chartists begin to feel that the repeal of the Corn-laws is of more pressing necessity to relieve the distresses of the people than the reconstruction of the law making machine. At Huddersfield, last week, a considerable number of them met Colonel THOMPSON, listened to his lecture with great at tention, and afterwards calmly discussed the subject with him. Such proceedings on the part of the known friends of the people will soon, we are persuaded, elicit truth and establish convic tion. From Colonel THOMPSON'S exertions in the good cause, a great progress has been made in convincing some and exposing the dangerous errors of others. We hope that he will continue his labours, and be rewarded by accumulated success. The next proof we have to notice of our pro gress is, that a meeting was lately held at Stock port, at which it was boldly resolved, that " the Corn-laws could not be repealed by winning over the electors, in consequence of . the great preponderance of the landed interest in Parlia ment; and that the only mode was for the people ~`',show their determination not to submit to the oppressiag.". That was the language of an influential meeting Stockport; and, should the people in numbers act oil such a resolution, it will hardly be safe for the landlords, though supported by the army, to attempt to dragoon them into submission to starvation. Ttif! late census has again reminded the people that ttieY are millions, while the landowners are but hun dreds, or at most thousands. Again, at a great Anti-Corn-law meeting at Bristol, on Thursday last, at which upwards of 2,000 persons were said to be prel:. , ,nt, Mr. BaowN delivered an animated lecture, in which he did not hesitate to accuse the Corn-laws of felony and murder. That part of the proceed ings is thus described:— Ile should like to take the Iron Duke to some of the cellars and hovels of Manchester, that he might see the misery of the poor, and learn how difficult it was to pre vent a dying man, with h,5 starving wife andchildren about him,from breathing his last breath in a bitter curse on his oppressor. In such circumsiznees, a man was not fit to receive the beneficent truths of tine Gospel, when he saw their promises falsified by the hand of man ; and it was nols-urprising that the poor, dying M . starvation, should s'sy, we want not Bibles, but bread !_-(Jlear.) It was no wonder that the poor Norwich weavers, . on a recent oc casion, should say, they wanted " more 1 ;::•<s and fewer parsons, more bread and fewer Bibles."—(A round of repeated cheers followed this quotation, nearly the whole meeting rising.) He accused the Corn-laws of fm,"Y• The law which compelled a man to do si x teen hom:s' work for the price of twelve, or caused him to pay' 90: for a loaf which he might otherwise get for 6d.,, robbed him of the difference ; and it was a robbery of the worst kind—it was a robbery of , the poor by the rich—of the weak by the strong—of the unrepresented many by the self-elected few ! But he accused this monster monopoly of a crime still more terrible ; he accused it of murder, foul and most atrocious murder ! Against such sentiments, spreading through the length and breadth of the land, no law can stand, unless it be pinned through the breasts of the people by the bayonets of a soldiery, under the command of a despot. The circumstances of England forbid that. More than half our popula tion are a new people within the century, who have preserved few or none of the traditional attachments of their ancestors, and they cannot be governed by a system which is neither theo retically just nor practically wise, and which derives its whole strength from such at tachments. We•must add, that on the 9th proximo, there is =-Q, be a great Anti-Corn-law meeting of the at Derby, from which we ex- Midlam: _ r,I QP n ti es , ,:l i zeisive line of condtift., Mr. pect a bold anti' pamphlet on the Sliding SALOMONS, in his rece Scale, says that there is noir- no influential body - of respectable persons who will Support the total abolition of all duty on corn. We hope that the meeting at Derby will undeceive him, as he seems to shut his eyes and his ears to the lan guage and conduct of the Corn-law League, and inform him that all the influential Anti-Corn law men are for a total and immediate repeal. They may, perhaps, follow Colonel THOMPSON'S advice, and go further, demanding compensation for the sums already taken from them durinc , th last twenty-five years, as well as abo on the introduction of foreign posh, to save our manu facturers from being overwhelmed by that com petition with which they are now threatened. On the whole, we think that the prospects of repeal are brightening, and the people growing more bold, The Tories, even, cannot avoid coun tenancing our exertions. They are compelled to admit the existence of great distress; and Sir ROBERT PEEL is sending emissaries abroad to inquire into prices and wages. If he thinks, however, to make the industrious, skilful people of England, content with semi -starvation, be cause the 'subjects of the CZAR. are in slavery, and the subjects of Louis Piiii.ippz are not much better, he is mistaken. Such a cie:4gn will be discreditable to him, and its success wculd be a reproach to the people. They must not allow themselves to be beaten down to the lowest st...ite of human beings. They will turn their eyes for an example to America, and not to Belgium or Prussia. We must, in conclusion, return our thanks to a Correspondent, who has made us aware that, by a transposition of the marks of quotation in our leader of Saturday, the words " to which end they will obtain the Charter, and then be able to divide the soil," were printed as if they were our own, whereas they were the words used by the Chartists at the Halifax meeting, and should have been marked as a quotation. The Duke of WELLINGTON seems half ashamed of his associates in the Cabinet, and has rather pointedly taken an opportunity of informing the world that he is not answerable for the acts of the Administration. Whether the PEEL Minis try will be honoured the more for being com posed of STANLEY and GRAHAM, XNATCHBULL and BUCKINGHAM, and for not numtoring in its ranks the Duke of WELLINGTON, we must leave the public and time to decide. The circum.. 3 tance on which our remarks are founded, is a lette.' of the Duke's to the Deputation from Paisley—gen - tlemen whom his Grace seems to have treated with almost as much contempt as he treats his colleagues. The following is from the Glasgow. Saturday Post:— Almost immediately on the arrival of the Deputation in London, the Rev. Dr. Burns, and the Rev. Mr. Baird, addressed a note to the Duke of Wellington stating the ohj s act of their mission, the which had induced them to leave r charge for the purpose of soliciti ng th e means of keeping I:l'ern in life. The note at th e same t i me most respectfa IY solicited an interview with his Grace, i the condition of the p eo pl e o f . for the purpose oa' laying Paisley before him. To this request the D e p u t at i on re ceived the following ja l / 4 - opic reply :-- w a ,mer Castle, October 26, 1841. ""P. M. The Duke of Vellington presents his compli ments to Dr. Robert Burns, .He is much concerned th a t, being out of town, it is imp 9ssible for him to find time to receive the Deputation. " The Rev. Dr Burns, " No 21, Manchester-buildings, W,asttninster." Two days after receipt of the above note, through the medium of the public papers, as well as from the stir about Apaley House, the Deputation ware made aware of the Duke of Wellington having return`ed to London, when they lost no time in forwarding the eallowing note to his Grace : "The Members of the Deputation from Paioey and the neighbouring places in Renfrewshire, most respectfully solicit an interview with his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, now that he has returned to London, for the purpose of submitting their subscription sheet to his con sideration, and for the purpose of affording his: Grace some important information regarding the condition of that unfortunate portion of her Majesty's subjects„ whom the Deputation are sorry thus to represent. " 21, Manehestei - buildings. Oct. 29, /341." To the above note the Duke of Welli.agton forwarded the following curious reply, which, take it all in all, we are sure will be read with astOnishment over the whole country : " London, October 30, 184 1. "F. M. The Duke of Wellington preset. ' ts his com pliments to the Members of the Deputation fi ' om Paisley. "t "It is true that the Duke returned to t own the night before last, in order to attend at Bu ckin g ha m House when her Majesty will be confined. " The Duke's time has been and will be much occu pied while he will be in London, and he must a gai, a de cline to receive the visit of the Deputa.tion from Rah icy. " He pays every attention it is in his=n ower to give • to the distresses at Paisley, as well as elsewhere. A meeting to discuss them is not necess. ll 7, in o rde.r to draw his attention to these distresses; ant, his o, occupations render it necessary that he shoult; decline to receive the Deputation. "Ho begs the Deputation to observe that he is not in the Queen's political service—that he does not fill an V 'u~ Parliament.' " But the Duke silently ref- tioL take on himself the power the DePa ta ict wished to thrust on 3-xim, and took no ne in og of the communication. ...ge would do n°, t . u c , v for the sufferers of Paisley, tion of the Deputation remainet un answ ad e is, , Honoured and rewarded as he has l e ss by the public, his conduct on this occast.On) cautious, if more honest, than that of Sir I tt)11 :ie PEEL, has not added to the reverence and the soi101:6 h i tl i people feel for him. No body ever ga l e n ot much credit for humanity, but we have 0 , 6 O before heard - him accused of MARLBORO tif vice. The Glasgow Post, of Saturday, hovel' commenting on this transaction, says — , k Much has been said and written about the It: of Wellington,_ but there is one remarkable trait in t 'L Duke's character which has never been noticed pi out of deference, we presume, to his fame ; trait is, the strong desire of the Duke to get r' s jiy of as much money us pwssible, and his ec l u n tr• strong desire tilt to part with what he has once got r 5 session of.
