ALDINt, now in London, lately exhibited at the house of Mr: HUNTER, some curious expe riments on the body of a 'dog newsy killed, by which the company then present were exceedingly astonished at the powers of Galvanism. The head Of the animal was cut off. The head and body were put beside each other, on a table previously tabbed with a solution of ammonia. Two wires, communicating with the Galvanic trough, were then applied, the one in the ear, the other at the arias of the dead animal. No sooner had those ap .plications been made, than both head and body .were thrown into the most animated muscular mo - . tions. The body started up with a movement, by which it passed over the side of the table: The head equally moved ; its lips and teeth grinning violently.

I. have nothing. to sell, nothing to give , I have nothing at all for you." The Prisoner 'then remar,:ed to Davy, that, Mathews was, an odd sort of man. At six o'clock the Prisoner Sprtgue and the Boy went to . Mr. Satinet's. Davy 'heard of r} u murder of Math . ews,, when the conversation hr had held over night with Sprague immediately oe'a curled to him, and a from the circumstance of the Prisonets having told. bins they had the daybefore only. removed 'their tent from Dorkiog, suspicion was exeitedin his mind, that 'the Prisoner kisesv of the murder.
