Elliotson, at which I had the honour of beine present, and the foi 1, wing plain statement of what I then saw will, I think, be interesting to your readsrs. I most pre mise that I had never before seen any experimente what ever in animal magnetism, &c., that I was totally unac quainted with Dr. Elliotson, Mr. Marcillet, and Mr. Alexis, and that I went, note-book in hand. prepared to watch and observe, as accurately as leesible, end that this account is drawn up from the noes 1 t'e is Haile. Alexis having seated himself in a large else- el, r, Marcillet stood in front of him, and seer fixing his eyes upon him for about four minutes, the inagneC e ele e p was produced. During this operation there were eon yid sive motions of the limbs and muscles of the end every now and then Alexis turned his eyes towerds the operator, as i t seemed to me, eith s 0 eXpie , eicit of pain, and almost entreaty to de- i . .1 . 110 con vulsive motions subsided afte r s f e .- I,z*:cri by she operator, and then th e phenoto `ll - i 44: .4 t 0,4 r s y shown. His hands were extended, and e: (eine ileite rigid, and were again relaxed by Mr. M millet p ee ,ing his hand once or twice over them. I:iti t' gs ere stretched out, and, to test their rigidity, a geieleteatt, weighing at least 14 stone, stood tspreest upon them, Alexis' body being kept balanced by two gel:lice:len pressing on his shoulders. Alexis is by no ii saes strong in appearan ce ; b ut I apprehend the strongest man would find the above feat difficult. Is web then proposed to bandage his eyes. A quantity cotton wool was placed over them, and kept dower by three handkerchiefs, one encircling the head, the ()Veg. two placed diagonally. • The gentleman —a v'siter, like myself—who undertook the tying, did not seem to do it to Alexis' satisfaction, for he said " Serrez fors, sei'rez fort." (tie it tight), and, still being dissatisfied, he seized the ends of the handkerchief, and tied thee; himself. The visitors were then asked to examine the handl er chiefs, and each person who did so was satisfied that vision was impossible. A pack of cards was then brought, which, it should be remarked, had glazed and ornamented backs, so that it would have been more than ordinarily difficult to see through them, even with strong light light behind. A visitor came forward to play, and Alexis seated himself at the table which was in the middle of the room, so that there was across light. He seized the cards , a full pack, in a qui c k, h urr i e d manner, and sorted them for i4srte. lie did this with great rapidity. sad Inadefitiftine Several Were Agra. during which he frequently told his adversary what cards he had in his hand, as on one occasion that he had . three tens, on another that he had four trumps ; and again he called for the cards seriatim which his adver sary was to play. Once or twice he made mistakes, as saying the nine of hearts instead of the seven, but in the, great majority of' instances was right. Another person then took the cards, and the same wonders were repeated. He then moved away from the table, and played at a distance of about four yards from his adversary, but he still told the cards as before, and played his own fre quently without looking at their faces. During the whole of this time Mr. Marcillet stood at some little distance, and from time to time repeated the passes. Dr. El liotson took no part in the proceedings. Alexia was then asked to read, and a volume of " Le Moyen., Ay e Pittoresque" was placed before him. The weed and bandages were. still unmoved, but he read off from the page wherever he was told by any of the visitors, and by myself amongst the rest. On one occasion he con, tinned to do so, although two hands were placed be fore his face and the type. He seemed, however, to find this somewhat more difficult. He was very animated, and talked rapidly as he turned over the pages, as if pleased with his own exploits. Whilst doing this, and just as he hail said, in answer to, a question, that the picture was a cathedral, I inter. rupted him hastily with, " Mais quelle cathedral. e He replied, " C'est une bonne question," and, placire g his hand upon the letter-press, instantly said, " Notre, Dame de Chalon," which was quite correct. He also ac curately described some figures in arreour. He then, of his own accord, offered to reas' e e li ne fi ve pages off, but in this he failed. A volusee of Bossuet was then brought from I)r. Elliotion's Ilbrry, no visitor having brought one. He took my band and aske,l me to show him what to read, and read several times cor rectly. In one instance he read the two following lines:— "C'est encore pour eux un grand embarras de voir que ce (le) propheLe fasse slier in temps du Christ (Jesus)," He however insisted that it was " le " and not " ce," and read "Jesus Christ" instead of "Christ" only. On this part of the experiments no great stress can be laid, as after the Bossuet was brought he complained of the great heat and threw off the handkerchiefs, so that his eyes were only closed as in sleep. He then said, sepa rating about 150 pages of the volume, aad holding them firmly together, that he would read some words on which ever side and whatever part of the page I pleased, but would not undertake to say how far off tbe words were. r then pointed out the side and part of the page that I wi s h e d . , and he gave th e wor d s " Tite-Live ' and " Romulus saying that etch commenced a paragraph. This was me done immediately, but the leaves were not or/ened at all. I examined the book, and found about fit) pages on the words " Tits-Live," and about 150 the w a rd " Ro mulus," each iu the place and position requited by me, and each commencing a paragraph. lie then seated himself in the large chair once more, and a st ranger (I believe D. Castle, of Milan) sat down by him, and put himself "ea rap port" with him. I did not hear the conversation, but 1)r. Castle afterwards stared to those present, that Alexis had described to him accurately how he (D 4; Castle) had passed the preceding night, and the nat esee and seat of' the pain that he had suffered from. But further and more satisfactory proofs of clairvoyareee were given. Alexis read a word (content) that was eseelosed its a card -board box, and presented to him for that pur pose by a visitor. He made out, the let ters "on" first, and the others after eoree difficulty. But in a case of this kind, every one eiatstrally distrusts every experiment not made by hieneelf I therefore took out my pocket-book and went„ three words, but being asked to put one only 'wrote in another p'ace " amt." I sho we d t hi s to no ore, but turning a leaf over it, said, I had written a ',ford which I wished him to read. It was one of Penny's metallic poeket-boeks. so that any of your readers may test the practicability of seeing a light petecil-mark through. I kept the leaf pressed firmly 'over the word, and upon the body of the book, aed held it in his hand. Directly he placed his hand in my other hand, he said, merrily, " Que vous ites bon ! Il n'y a que trois lettres." (Hew kind you are—there are but three letters.) I assented, lie then wrote nearly, but not exactly, over it— the letter a, then turned to me, and said, " That is right," I assented. He then wrote nt, end in quired in the same way. I said nothing. He repeated the question. I remained silent. He then said in a. jocose half-bantering tone—(to this effect)—" Yeu may just as well say so , b ecause you know it is. " I then sai4 " Oui." He repeated it after me in high glee, and added instantly the i, scratching a fine flourish underneath to show that he had succeeded. I showed the pocket book to those present, and all were satisfied that they could not have read it. It is now in my possession, and I would show it to any one who might wish to see it. I make no comments on the above facts, I atteme t it no explanation, but it is right to add that all present, and among them were several medical men, were perfectly satisfied of the fairness of the experiments. No one would suggest any possible plan 'of collusion.. I can be surprised at no one being incredulous until he has seen the experiments with his own eyes. For even now, without again scrutinising another series of experiments, I could not honestly say that I was alto gether convinced. I only say, that if there be decep tion, the deception would be almost more wonderful theta the reality. I send you my name and address, and re main, Sir, your obedient servant, AN INQUIRER AFTER TRUTH. P.S. After having drawn up the above, I read the article in the Chronicle of this day (July 2). Icertainly regret that the reporter did not remain when asked to do so by Dr. Elliotson, although I cannot but say that the impression of all who heard what passed was any thing but favourable to the gentlemanly feeling and conduct of the reporter • and also that Dr. Etlfotson, could hardly h ave acted otherwise. I regret the absence of the reporter, because the one word written by me, and in almost exact accordance with the requisitions made in the article above men tioned, was read fairly and honestly by Mr. Alexis, without having been seen by any one else. I may fur.. then add, that the following gentlemen, having wit. nessecl—some, indeed, having testede-the above experie ments, voluntarily subscribed their names to a paper az. pressive of their conviction of the integrity of thit ex traordinary exhibition : The Viscount Adare, 76, Eaton-square.

A pair ofjackdaws have for several seasons built their nest and reared their young in a cavity beneath a projectingapont at one corner of the chapel ' • and on the present occasions were encouraging their rczwly-fledged offspring to test the strength of their pinimi s by taking short flights from the nest. to an adjoining trek, when one of the sooty youngsters, in nialting the attempt, proved unequal to the feat, and canoe fluttering to the ground. A hungry cat, most probably on the proxvl for a breakfast, instantly pounced upon the poor bird, and was bearing it off in her mouth, when she was as. sailed by the parent jackdaws, who, uttering loud cries of dia• tress, used their beaks and claws with such effect, that puss was glad to drop her prey, and beat a temporary retreat.

Many of our readers will remember that, in 1826, it was proposed to abolish the small• note circulation of Scotland ; but, thanks to " Malachi Malagrowther, and others, who effectually instructed and excited the public mind on the subject, the Minister of that day was forced, in all haste, to abandon the measure. It would appear, however, that now, after the lapse of nearly eighteen years, the " Scottish system of banking" is again —not, indeed, directly, but dan gerously as insidiously—threatened with an invasion of its rights and privileges, without the slightest attempt being made to show that these have been in any manner abused, or that the proposed alteration " will be for the evident utility of the subject's within Scotland." We fear that-the public are not sufficiently alive to the nature and tendency of the contemplated changes. They seem to rely too confidently upon the dura bility of the existing system ; nor, in sooth, is this much to be wondered at ; for, have not our banks been in, operation for nearly a century and a half ! and what better prOof can be had as to their usefulness and the soundness of their principles, than length of duration, and continuance of esteem ? During that long period, the adaptation of the system to the requirements of the country, and to the habits of the people, must have been often examined and com pared ; and the fact of its being still prized so highly must surely be because these frequent comparisons have confirmed opinion in its favour.

What says Sir WakerScott - : " It is not less unquestionable, that the consequence:or the banking system, as conducted in Scotland, has been attended with the greatest advantage to the country. The facility which it has afforded to the industrious and enterprising agriculturist or manufacturer, as well as to the trustees of the public in 'executing national works, bas converted Scotland from a poor, miserable, and barren country, into -one where, if Nature has done less, Art and Industry have done more, - than in perhaps any country in Europe, England herself not excepted." Up to the time at which Sir Walter thus wrote, there was no restriction in regard to the establishment of new banks of issue •, but now, while Sir It. Peel affects not to interfere with Scotland in his new Bill, we are neverthe less prohibited from establishing any more banks. Per haps, however, since the time when " Malachi" stirred his countrymen, banks of issue in Scotl a nd h ave b een springing up like mushrooms, and the Premier was com• pelled to interpose a decided stop. Let us see, then, how the fact stands ; We have it in evidence given before the Select Committee on Banks of Issue—that since 1825 the number of Banks bas diminished. In 1825 there: were 32 banks of issue, and in 1841 only 29 ! No doubt the number of agencies, or branch banks, has increased very much, but chiefly in agricultural and poor districts, where they are of great benefit to that description of the population. Mr. Kennedy, a landed proprietor and banker' in Ayrshire, in his evi dence before the Committee, on being asked, "Are you of opinion that the increase of banking establishments in Scotland had been only commensurate with the increas ing trade and manufactures of the country?" answers, "I do not think that there are more banks at the present moment in Scotland than are necessary for the welfare of Scotland ; and at the same time, although the profits en banking in Scotland are •kept very low by competi tion, still I think there is room for us all." But since 1141 we find that the number has still further de creased, and is now only 20, while there is not a single private banker left. Where, then, it may be asked, is the necessity for such a measure in regard to Scot- land ? Do we not find that where new banks had started, and after feeling their way for a little, and dis covering that there was no room for them, that they quietly merged into some more fortunate neighbour ? Are we then tamely to allow one of our most valuable privileges to be abrogated, merely to please the Minis ter, so that, if need were, we could not, as heretofore, establish a bank, however great the necessity there for, either from "junctions" or other causes? No, no, Sir Robert. We have not asked your advice. Being perfectly sound, and "in the best of health," we decline being operated upon at all, and beg to return this in geniously-formed pill, wherewith you would " dose" us. So much for the restriction of new banks. Let us hear the Premier upon another point. He says— " The existing banks shall continue to enjoy their privileges, provided they do not exceed certain defi nite limits "—that is, increase the amount of their issues—" to be calculated upon an average of the last two years." " But if they should at any time discofitinue their issues, they shall lose that privi lege." Is not that very fair ? The bankers are only told again and again that they are simply not to be al lowed to increase their issues ; but what is the effect and evident intention of this part of his plan, save to contract the circulation, and that to a very consider able extent ? We shall make this statement plain in a few words. The Premier knew quite well that the circulation of Scotland fluctuates very considerably at different periods of the year, its minimum being in March, from which it goes on increasing till June. It then falls again a little for a month or two, and afterwards increases until the end of November, when it reaches its maximum. This occurs year after year, thereby showing that the circulation is governed by local causes, and cannot be regulated by the foreign exchanges. A few of these causes are—the purchasing of cattle in the spring months ; the payment of wages at Whitsunday ; preparing for Midsummer rents ; the employment of work-people generally during the summer and harvest ; and, lastly, the great country flitting term of Martinmas. Now, we submit that by taking the average of the two preceding years as the maximum for the future (instead of allowing the issues to vary as the com merce and local necessities of the country demand), the circulation of the kingdom will be curtailed—just when it will be most required—some 20 per cent ; and in agricultural districts, such as this, a great deal more Yet, if you believe Sir Robert, " our existing privileges are to be continued!" and does he not also take credit for having said nothing on the subject of small dotes? But we would ask, why avoid the dis cussion of the whole matter, since the entire question of currency is involved in his measure. There must have been a reason for this evasion. Was it from a dread of discussion? We rather suspect it was. The banking system of Scotland is deservedly in high repute, its principles being sound, and affording to the public a full accommodation on the cheapest possible terms, yielding, at the same time, a reasonable profit to the banker. Neither is it found that a free competition and a multiplication of banks and branches, have a ten dency to increase the circulation, nor has it increased with the wealth of the nation. Let us now look at the matter in another light. The circulation of Scotland, including its small notes, amounts only to about 11. a head of the whole popula tion, whereas in England, where there are no notes under SL, it amounts to 2L a head. Yet, as England is to be operated on, Scotland, forsooth, must be dealt w i t h too, merely for the sake of uniformity. Having thus shown that there is no calve for interfering with our national privilege of Banking, and pointed out the effects that wial ensue, if this Bill, as it at present stands, be allowed to pass, we shall now shortly inquire, on w h om will the loss fall ? This is an important question. It cannot be supposed 'that the banks will bear ; their profits will not admit of it, for, is not the present system based upon the power that the circulation gives them to allow a high rate of deposit in terest ; and if that be taken from them, they must make it up from some other source. They would at once increase their charges—perhaps charge a commission on the debit side of the account, as in some places in England— and allow less interest, or probably none at all. . On the other hand, depositors might withdraw their deposits, and, 'in times of difficulty, force the banks to press their customers 'to repay advances made to them, and thus bring on a state of things that we fortunately have only heard of, and certainly never can wish to experience. It follows, then, that the loss will fall upon the community. High and low— rich and poor—all will feel it. And though all this is not attempted to be done at once, the Premier's scheme clearly points to all banks of issue being absorbed in one Leviathan institution. Only allow the wedge to enter, and we may have it pushed home much sooner than we dream of. We should, then, promptly act upon the advice of Malachi Malagrowther," tendered during a former sea son of peril to the banking system of Scotland " Let all ranks and bodies of men in North Britain express, by petition, their sense of the i n j us ti ce w hi c h is offer ed to the country, and the distress which will probably be* the necessary consequence. Without the power of issuing their own totes, the Banks cannot supply the manufacturer with that credit which ena bles him to pay his 'workmen, and wait his return ; or accommodate the farmer with that fund which makes it easy for hint to discharge his rent and give wages to his labp,urers 4 while in the act of performing pipensiye operations which are to treble or quadruple the virocluce of his, rum, The trustees on the high roads and other public works, so ready to stake their peraoual credit for carrying on public inaprovements, will no longer possess the power of doing so.

A Special Meeting of the Shareholders in this Bank was held yesterday at the Office, No. 2, Moorgate-street, to con sider a proposition to be submitted to the Proprietors of en larging the property qualification of the Directors in the Com pany; Mr. Brownngg, M.P., in the Chair. Mr. 0. de Beauvoir Priaulx, in moving a resolution to that effect, said that the present qualification for being a Director was the possession of twenty shares, which were equivalent to 8001. His reason for submitting the proposition which he now made was, because, as the capital of the Company had been latterly much increased, he thought the property quali fication of the Directors should also be increased. A Pro prietor, in seconding the motion, said the whole amount of property invested in the Company by the Directors was only 9,0001., and he thought it was not right that they should have the management of a bank, the capital of which exceeded two millions sterling, and it was con trary to the practice of the other banks of the metropo lis. Captain Grover opposed the. motion, because there were only fifty-six Shareholders who held filly shares to qualify them for the Direction, and those gentle men for the most part, consisted of old admirals, ge nerals, colonels, clergymen, and ladies. The proposed measure would tend to make the management a job, as it would throw it into the hands of a few persons. He concluded by moving as an amendment, that it was in expedient to alter the qualification. The Chairman was op posed to the original motion for the same reasons as those expressed by the Gallant General who had just sat down. He did not think a large number of shares a good qualifica tion, because Directors having them might be anxious for declaring a dividend, when such a course would, perhaps, be injurious to the interests of the Company. Mr. Farrer, a Director, strongly opposed any alteration in the deed of set tlement. After a very lengthened discussion, the original motion was put and negatived by an overwhelming majority, only three shareholders having voted in its favour. SOCIETY OF DANCERS. Yesterday evening a general meeting of the theatrical dancers, and of the professors and teachers of dancing, was held at the Western Literary and Scientific Institution, Lei cester•square, for the purpose of forming a society, the ob ject of which would be to afford relief to aged and intirrft members (both male and female) throughout the United Kingdom. _ J: . I3YRNE, Esq., having been unanimously called to the ehair, read a series of rules, for the purpose of carrying out the intentions of the meeting for the regulation of the society. He then addressed the meeting at considerable length, and expressed his hope that those members of the profession connected with the theatrical world, as well as those engaged as professors, who possessed wealth and in fluence, would come forward with liberality in favour of their less fortunate brethren. After a short but able address from Mr. ROBERT TIOLFORD, Mr. W. OXBERRY, of the P r i ncess ' s Th eatre, moved that the rules then read by the Chairman, be adopted, printed, and put into circulation, by advertisement and otherwise. He expressed his regret, that although almost every other profession had its benevolent fund, upon which the members could fall back in case of sickness or misfortune, yet, up to the present moment, a class of persons so numerous as those composing the meeting, had wholly neglected such an in v. portant and benevolent subject. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting, which was most respectably attended, broke up. LAUGHABLE MISTAKE.—A carrier in this neigh bourhood recently had to convey a barrel of Roman ce ment to a gentleman, and a barrel of guano to a farmer, each of which he delivered to the wrong party. A plas terer commenced preparing the guano, which was given to him as Roman cement, and, after much difficulty, owing to the bad smell, he succeeded in plast3ring a few yards of the gentleman's house, but the stench becoming past his endurance, he called out to the gentleman, and said, " I am very sorry, but I must beg of you to get some other person to finish this job, far I never met with such Roman cement before. I am quite sick, and the smell will poison me if I go on ; besides (continued the plasterer), did you ever see Roman cement so yellow ?" The gentleman said there must be some mistake, fur it evidently was not cement, and accompanied the plasterer to the carrier's, where they found the farmer complain ing about the barrel of stuff that he had got. It was like sand, but when mixed with water, it turned into stone, and would flag his field instead of making the grass grow almost as quick as winking, as he was told this new ma nure would do. His man had mixed water with some of it and spread it out, and on returning a short time after wards, he found the stuff as hard as a flag, and came to ' him in breathless haste, saying, " mestur, I nevvur seed sitch muck in aw my loife as yon new gunno muck, , for I mixt sum on't who whattur, un its tamed into a flag hin hittle mak' Bras gro hittle male out gro." " Oh ! (ex claimed the plasterer), that must be the Roman cement, and I have been mixing up your guano instead of it." The mistake of the carrier was rectified, and the parties returned horne.—Bolten Free Press. LOCAL NEGLECT.
