Yesterday the annual general meeting of the friend - s of this institution was held at Willie's Rooms, St. James's, the Right non. the Earl of Duoraven in the chair. There was a full and fashionable attendance. The noble CHAIRMAN, in commencing the proceedings of the meeting, Congratulated them and all the friends of mesmerism as to its relative position now and 10 or 12 years since when he first turned his attention try the subject. Whatever society they then went into they heard mesmerism spoken of as an imposition and a chi mera, which was to be put down by the writers in re views and magazines, but now it was impossible to go amongst edueat,ed people and hear the subject mentioned without perceiving that a great majority of the people more or less believed in it ; and if they did not believe in the highest phenomenon of mesmerism, they saw it was sonatter that could be no longer treated as a hum bug or pooh poohed, hut deserving- scientific i n yestigation. (Hear.) 'When, through the kindness of Dr. Elliotsoo, he first witnessed one of these phenomena he experi enced great delight at the time, hut he soon saw it was not to be used as a play thing, he accordingly set to work to ascert a i n it s trots!. A ilevoth,g many months - to the examination of the s=lllj-et, he was per fectly satisfied in the reality of airthe phenomena of mesmerism, from, the lowest to the highest-- 7 that of i been known for age s , an d t h ere was a 'glimmering ,of it to be seen in the history of medical science ; and it ap ! peered surprising that so beneficial .and useful an agent should have appeared in the scientific world and then have disappeared again. It bad been•the Same With the great 'discoveries that had been „made :in their time to improve our physical sciences. These elements of nature, ether jend _chloroform, were no doubt, known a, ear'y the 12th - century, but, from the want of scientific investiQation, and a sufficient interest to take theinup II and perfect them, were allowed to die away as if they never existed. - Vaccination was known in Snain "yt ax , ; rier.

Therefore it was 'that he was glad to see so large an attendance at that meeting, who he hoped would de part with the conviction that they who believed in the The East Anglian - (No: 162) steam-transport arrived, at p i heart yesterday merning.

By F. B. COITRTENAY, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Englend. " We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of cm:wise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful maniptf ator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

A return to the House of Commons (obtained by Mr. Brady, M.P.) was issued, on Friday, of the naval farce on the lit ult. The force consisted of 288 ships, and 6,447 guns. In the Baltic fleet there were 49 fillips, mounting 1,464 guns. marvellous phenomenon, it had higher ,purposes to fill than exciting their imagination or interesting their . in tellect, and he saw plainly it was, as it had been.• stated by Mr. Sanbv, " a gift given by God 'with which to al levjatethesufferings of mankind, 'and that thegreat point tor them to strive to attaup wao tQ Place it on such a foot ing• that some institution might be established wherein mesmerism might be practised simply as a remedial agent. (Hear.) - How successful it had been in accom plishing that object they all • knew, and it was not his intention to enter into:thiradails of that suecesWit,their institution, or the experiments there carried on, lieciiuge that would be done by more able hands who would ad dress them. He felt he should not be doing justice to his own'feelings if he failed to say one word in admira tion of, and in gratitude to, one individual who had con- tributed to the - advance of mesmerism, for wherever mesmerism was mentioned the name of Elliotson was revered. (Applause.) Dr. Elliotson, by the open and indefatigable v.athe had displayed from the commence ment, to investigate the truth of the science, had lost the sympathy and support of many of the members of that profession of which he was a distinguished orna ment, and if he had not outlived their obloquy, he had merited and obtained the approbation of all those who loved to see truth flourish and fully carried out, and had earned the gratitude of hundreds, and the good opinion of thousands of his poor suffering fellow-creatures. (IPPlanoP.) If they agreed with him that mesmerism, as a curative agent, should be adopted and fully carried out, he called on them to support the institution, and take a deep interest in it by visiting it with theirfriends, and indnee them to become subscribers to it with them. Those who were already subscribers to the institution could not show their devotion and belief in the science better than by doubling the amount of their present sub scriptions, to allow the institution thereby to increase its benefits. (Applause.) Dr. ELLTOTSON then read the report of the committee, which was an elaborate and highly-interesting document. At the commencement of the year they had 47 patients on the books, since which they had had 204 more, making a total, for the year, of 251. Of that number 69 bad been cured, 9 had nearly completed their cure, 49 had been improved to a greater or less extent, and 41 were still under treatment. The cures exceeded by 27 those of the preceding year. The report mentioned cures that had been effected of St. Vitus's dance, nervous affec- tions, asthma, contraction of the hand with a sore in the palm, derangements of the digestive organs, affections of the kin, scrofula lupus , palsy, &c., and one case of dropsy in a female who was suffering from an ovarian tumour at the same time. This patient, after being in the hospital and once tapped, was told she must have an operation performed, which she objected to ; and after being tapped three times was discharged as incur• able. She suffered greatly after that, and was in that state that she hoped death would terminate her suffer ings. She was tapped altogether 55 times, and in all 495 gallons were drawn from her. Under mesmeric treatment she had recovered, and was that day in the room. The report bore ample testimony to the assiduity of the secretary and the officers of the institution. The Rev. G. SANBY moved the receptinn and adop- tion of the report, which, be said, was bath interesting and instructive. It was interesting to them who were met together in behalf of this good cause to know that the institution was progressing so favourably, was ad vancing so steadily, and remedying so much evil ; and it was instructive from the details it gave of the manner in which mesmerism operated. He hoped, when the report was printed, it would be read attentively, and considered both by the friends of the cause and its enemies. The institution was admirably conducted, everything being regulated in a proper and careful manner ; and he fear lessly asserted there was not another institution in the kingdom where a better system of order and regularity prevailed. When a patient entered the institution be was questioned as to the hospitals he had been in and the treatment he had there received, and also from his own medic-.l attendant, and the suffering he had endured, and was informed he would have to attend regularly for some time, dependent on the nature of his malady, but by no means to imagine ho would derive miraculous effects from the treatment at once. All the cases, with their progress, were registered in a hook, so that, in ten years hence, if any person wished to know the particu lar condition of a patient, at any particular hour, it could be furnished. By that means they were accumu lating a mass of valuable mesmeric statistics, available for the future prosecution of the science, as knowing to what diseases the great curative agent was more imme diately applicable. He congratulated them on holding this their sixth annual meeting on a science they were told, a few years since, was ridiculous, and when their mesmerisers were opposed, and those who attended their meetings were laughed at. They were now forcing their way in spite of the opposition they had met with, and this institution had taken root. and would be a per manent thing amongst them. He was much struck with a remark in the report, that one of their cures was equivalent to several cured by other means. He should like to have an investigation by a committee similar to the Sebastopol committee, of the comparison of cures made by their institution (which took in the refuse of other hospitals, allowance being made for their limited means) with that of other hospitals, and ho had no doubt they would stand in a very advantaaeon; position. The result of such a comparison would also show similar re sults to that of the Sebastopol committee, that it was the love of medical routine and medical red-tapism that prevented the people from calling to their aid that great power which nature bad so proviLientially and bounti fully afforded them ; and rather than hurt the feelings of their friends who were medical men they allowed their relatives to die. Mesmerism was a great troth in nature, and he considered they were madmen not to employ it when they knew its advantages. He was glad to see so many ladies present, because they possessed more moral courage than men. They spoke their minds when men were afraid of offending their medical practitioner, and he called on them to stand forth and insist on mesmerism being tried before all other remedies had failed. (Hear.) Flaying, witnessed the attention paid at the infirmary to the patients, and the thankfulness they expressed for the benefit they had derived from the treatment, he con sidered they were arrived at a point from which they could not be driven back. The institution had taken deep root, and for which they bad reason to thank God, and take courage to gn on and defy all opposition. . Mr. JANSON, of Exeter, seconded the motion. He had been unexpectedly called on to do so. and was not prepared with a speech for the occasion. The best thing he could therefore do, was to give them some informa tion of the progress of the science in that part of the country in which he resided. He was located at Exeter. and he knew of no provincial town where it had made a greater progress than in that city. He had often asked the question why it had not progressed the same in other large towns, such as Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and Manchester. He wished all persons in the provinces would exart themselves, and try if they could not estab lish something like a mesmeric movement, and give them the result of their exertions at similar meetings to that, which would greatly add to their interest. They had effected many excellent thingi at Exeter, to many of which he referred, but which it was needless for him to enumerate in detail, as they must be well known to the readers of the Zoist. Captain HUDSON, of Leeds, moved the second resolu tion, and in doing so, observed that in his part of the country the advocates of mesmerism left no means un tried by which to advance the science and benefit the afflicted. He had delivered 50 lectures on the subject at Liverpool, 58 in liuddersfield, and 90 in its neigh bourhood, and he had just finished his 80th lecture in Leeds. He regretted there was not more opposition, for if there was they would progress more rapidly. At one of his meetings he had 14 doctors and six clergymen present. The latter and four of the foriner were friend.' of the science, and before the meeting terminated he succeeded in passing two resolutions in his favour. Tr brother of one of the medical profession present most opposed to the science declared . his conversion to the principle of mesmerism, and that he would do all'he could in its furtherance. He appealed to the ladies to exert themselves in the movement, because he had always found them the best men of business. (Laughter.) Wherever he went, instead of ten opposing him, h. found a hundred supporting him, because he showed them there was a power connected with mesmerism cal culated to do an infinite amount of good. After giving instances of the cures he had effected (iecluding that of a medical man) by mesmerism, ho moved that Major- General Bagnold be elected a vice-president. Mr. MONCKTON MILNERs seconded the resolution. The greate4t amount of opposition the science received wa..- from scientific men, which appeared to many persons to he a great misfortune, and inclined them to think ill of such men in consequence. He was of a different opinion, and rather thought it was their good fortune to live In a scientific age and amongst scientific people, and which was a special reason why they might hope mesmerism would become successful, and, by the exertion of honest men, take its proper place as a science. Mesmerism had ledge of facts, and not from being led away by anything surprising or curious. He wished them to confine their attention to this 'rriatier as regarded medical science. Those interesting and wonderful phenomena of mesme rism connected with the mind, were of a totally differeLt clikrater, imperfectly understood now, and likely to leash personS - ticr.a3r from a clear invemtigation..of the simple !actg. Mesmerism was a great medical agar;t which Providence hal given to mankind, which was not to be played with as a matter of amuse ment, but to be applied seriously, and which might lead to bad or good effects if well or ill applied ; and, therefore, it was that ho anticipated an enorwous amount of benefit would be conferred on mankind when those principles became implanted in the minds of an intelligent community, and they met the advocates of this science in a proper manner by bringing their friends to be operated on by the mesmeriser, but not as a last resource. So long as persons did that, and tried their constitutions and damaged themselves in every way by other treatment before they became converts to this science, they must not be disappointed if they were not then set right. It would not be giving mesmerism a fair el'aance until people applied to it as to any of the other healing arts--at the beginning of the disease. (Hear.) He hoped this infirmary would greatly pro . .. . mote that end, because then all the opposition of scien tific and medical men would not in any degree be an mpediment to the reception of truth, big rather useful n the end. Sensible men who wait to be converted until the evidence was almost too strong for them, when they began to believe and receive those opinions would be their best supporters and earnest advocates, and it would be among scientific men that mesmerism would achieve its nonquest over the credulity of mankind. (A.pplaase.) Major-General BAGNOLD said—ln offering you the mo tion now in my band I shall merely say that my pre sence here, I trust, is a guarantee that I firmly and im plicitly believe in the curative powers of mesmerism, and yet I confess that for many years of my life no person could have doubted or ridiculed the whole question more than I did. Guess, then, my astonishment at finding that what I hai reject :el when presented to me in the repulsive shape of religious jugglery was founded on a simple fact in nature, and one as demonstrable by a little patient inquiry as any schoolboy's first lessons in electricity or chemistry. But if I felt a degree of shame and regret for opportunities lost of acquiring a useful know. ledge, what will eventually be the shame and disgrace of those scientifically educated men whose particular province is to look into nature's truths and make them known, but who, instead of doing so, abuse and revile those who would do this work for them? However, I do not totally despair of the medical profession. I have myself made some converts from that body, so far, at least, as belief goes—but, alas, I cannot, I fear, find their moral courage to avow and practice it. A talented young medical friend of mine, not long since acting House-surgeon at one of our principal London hospi• tals, at Inv suggestion put it to the proof by trying it on a too-t frightful case of hysteria that had baffled every other treatment. He succeeded to his perfect sa tisfAction, and his poor patient left the hospital with prayers and blessings on his head. In the warmth 01 his feelings be promised me ttv case for publication— but when the time carne de lined saying, " with am ple proof as to the fact I dare not publish it, hut I trust a time will come when more independent of the heads of my profession I can put them at defiance. At pre sent it would ruin me." But ladies, it is to you I would particularly address myse;f, you who by your nature and your Christian education; are ministering angels iu sick ness and suffering. Are you aware of the powers you possess in healing the sick, or at least assuaging pain by a few patient waves of your bands ? That in this power you possess a mine of wealth you can dispense to others, and, like the widow's cruise of oil, is inexhaustible—that in your own family-circle of relatives and friends it is in- valuable, and to the poor often more acceptable tha.upecu niary relief? Pardor. my enthusiasm, but feel the time is not far distant when it will be as common for the arorkg and powerful to give out a little of their superabundant health to the sick and weakly as it is now for the rich and affluent to give their surplus wealth to the poor and needy. And now, ladies and gentlemen, let me close my appeal to you with the remark, that infirmaries cannot be kept up on good luck and wishes alone. We then offer you the assurance that what pecuniary assistance you can give us shall be faithfully and economically applied. Mr. ADOLPHE KEIST seconded the motion. Mr. PURLAND moved the appointment of the ladies' committee, with an especial vote of thanks to Mrs. Ham bleton, of St. John'twood-road, for her great liberality towards the funds of the, infirmary and the embellish. ment of the house. That lady, he said, had expended upwards of 1001. at the infirmary, in addition to 301. presented to the fund!, which showed how much could be done by those who bad the means if they were deter mined to support this science. Dr. ELLIOisoN seconded the motion, and bore testi mony to the great benevolence of Mrs. Efambleton, to whom the institution was much indebted for her libera lity, and for which it was impossible 'the committee could adequately expreFe their thanks of its value as an example and stimulant to others. Mi. LEWIS, a gentleman of colour, in moving the fifth resolution, said he advocated the science for the sake of suffering humanity, having witnessed its wonderful ef fects in Africa, America, and the East and West Indies ; and he felt certain that when the subject was more gene rally known and fully understood by the public they would 'avail themselves of it. He alluded to the intro duction of the science into Edinburgh. A few years eince mesmerism was considered there to he a humbug, and that there was no truth in it, but he knew of no city where it was now making such rapid strides as in Edinburgh. The Rev. J. EKING seconded the resolution, believing the institution deserving of support. Captain HUDSON moved a vote of thanks to the officers of the institution, which was seconded by Dr. SYMICS. A vote of thanks was accorded to the noble chairinan, who, in acknowledging the compliment, said it afforded him great pleasure to contribute in any way he could towards the object in which they were all so deeply inte rested. He hoped before long the large towns of Eng land would establish a similar institution to that they had in the metropolis.

( From Bell's Life ) Having, in ctnr report of the Manchester Meeting, designated the scratching of Neville for the Trades' Cap, after the horse had been backed by the public up to the last moment, a " disgraceful proceeding," we have re ceived a letter from Mr. William Robinson, of Richmond, Yorkshire, the owner of the horse, in which he affects to "feel considerably surprised at the remark," and says, "As I am sure the facts have been unfairly represented to you, I think it only right that I should give some explanation." This " explanation," however, Mr. Robi nson wishes us to consider as "confidential," owing to his objection to '•' appearing in print ;" but in this light ive cannot regard it, and as the affair has been freely com mented on in sporting circles, we consider it due to the public, who were the suff e r ers on th e occasfon, to give Mr. Robinson's " expl ana ti on " in full. Mr. Robinson says : "This horse's feet are, and always have been, very tender, and to this cause I attribute his very easy defeat for the Derby last year ; and so anxious was I, however, that no person should lose money on him ae Manchester, I told every person who asked me at Epsom Maces, and also in London, on the Saturday and Sunday following, that if the ground continued so hard he would not run. When I arrived at Manchester on the Tuesday evening I made this no secret. I told the whole of my friends what were my intentions, and took eve r y pa i ns to make the public aware that I had not backed the horse ; and in the event of rain not falling before the race, I would not risk the horse for such a stake, ds the chances were, if he did run over such ground, he would be ruined for life. If, there fore, the public, in the face of this, - would back the horse, it is their fault, not mine. I beg most distinctly to say, there is no party connected with any horse of mine run ning in my friend Mr. Clarkson's name. My trainer, Winteringham, has other employers, no doubt, none of whom have the slightest interest in any of my horses : nor would I allow them to interfere in the management of my horses in any way." Upon the above we need only remark that, notwith standing Mr. Robinson, as he states, expressed to his friends and those who asked him, at . ,Epsom and Man chester, his intention not to start Neville if the ground continued hard, the horse was allowed to remain in the betting and to be backed by the public, as well, if we mistake not, by certain of Mr. Robinson's own friends, until almost the last moment, when one of the latter be coming suspicious of an under current, put it to the test by offering to bet a pony or 501. that the hcrse would not start, though, thoughont the morning, as stated in nur report, he had been backed at evens against the field ! In conclusion, whilst giving Mr. Robinson the full benefit of his "explanation," we have no hesitation in repeating our opinion that it was a " disgraceful pro ceeding." The Tribunal of Correctional Police of :Metz has just been occupied two days in trying Fix employds of the Strasburg railway, for having, by their imprudence and neglect of the regulations, caused two trains to run into each other on the 21st of April, between the stations of Metz and Courcelles, whereby five persons were killed, and several others were seriously injured. ended by the condemnation of one of the aceuseTdi:enatmriel Sand or Dude- A o l f . mil% George lifei S n La Awn, gives Collin, to a year's imprisonment, and 300 f• 6 of Mathieu, to six months' imprisonment, and 3041%; ;b—Ther deceased' and of the others, from six weeks to a . fi--0 gf.7 l is e h t o a e n v h e e a e n : l i n a g a fortnight's im prisonment. e : s — he thought it charurnYin avan A natm, R ilni E s s it z e E al s ac s set W o fuen o ut m llo A c N et bought it, she wo u ld n it hideous-- . and then the flowers —take nut the hatredofti bonnet,ie d of a yr becausees p h o e b 0 u ~ She would b :the lace—and change the tlrran take off the ribbons gement with readiness and taste.
