A country so productive must of course carry on an extensive commerce. Nearly 40 steamships ply from San Francisco, and 130 to 150 vessels are now on their way to that port for the new harvest. She wants little from abroad, as the necessaries of life are provided in the State, therefore her imports consist of fine goods and luxuries only. The balance, then, of trade is vastly in her favour, and with such prospects it is not surprising that California draws a large and increasing emigration. From the Atlantic States alone it is calculated that this year from 20,000 to 25,000 persons will permanently settle, down in the State, and from China the immigration is probably nearly half as much more. On a single day last June over 1,500 Chinamen landed and the means are so good for bringing the employer and the em ployed together that labour is quickly utilized and absorbed. Within two months over 3,000 people, chiefly immigrants, were provided with employ ment, through the machinery of the Labour Ex change; and although the season approaches when no work will be procurable, many mines, &c., knocking off for the winter, yet the capacity of the country to absorb the immigrants is so great that it presents on the whole the best field for mechanics and labourers, for it answers the two great require ments of high wages paid in specie, and compara tively cheap food. During June 1,670 orders for labourers were received by the Secretary of the Labour Exchange as follows :—House carpenters 187, farm hands 193, labourers 392, wood choppers 75, blacksmiths 40, boys 39, bricklayers 42, cabinet makes 27, canvassers 24, cooks 63, lumbermen 72, milkers 31, miners 53, house painters 27, teamsters 52, men and wives 19, shoemakers 11, wheelwrights 12, clerks 8, miscellaneous 306. • The orders filled during the month were only 1,238, showing a de ficiency of labourers, of the kind wanted, to the extent of 432. Of the number employed 324 were married, 914 single; 293 were American bora, the balance foreign. The Secretary, in his monthly report for June, says :—" It is scarcely possible to over-estimate the demand for female labour on this coast. Ineffectual offers have been made as high $3O per month in gold, for persons to do plain cooking, washing and ironing; and this when the same class of labour can be had in New York for from $8 to $l2 in currency. We may also add the fact thac there is not a man in the almshouse of city (nor need there be) able to perform any kind of labour." The railroads and the farms pay the common labourer from six to eight shillings a day, and skilled mechanics are em ployed at from twelve to twenty shillings. A country accumulating capital at such a rate as California, has large means for investment, and the market is now abundantly supplied with money at one per cent. per month, the lowest rate of interest yet taken. But that money can be in vested so as to return such interest and still be employed with profit, may be gathered from the rise of real estate in San Francisco, which was worth $14,000,000 in 1860, and $58,000,000 in 1867, while the increase in the property of the city within the last eight years is nearly 400 per cent. " Cheap food, cheap labour, and cheap fuel," says the San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press," are and ever must be concentrated here. We occupy a position unrivalled in natural advantages, and we of the present day will soon be witnesses to the fact that civilization and enterprise have completed the circle of the earth, and that the Pacific Ocean has become the Mediterranean sea of the world !"

GENTLEMEN, — Upwards of seven years since you did me the honour to elect me one of your Representatives, and for the third time I come forward to solicit a renewal of the kind support I then and have since received. _ . . I appeal to my votes and conduct in Parliament during this long period in proof of my having fulfilled the promises I then made. . My best and most earnest attention has ever been, and shall continue to be, devoted to your local interests. I have endea voured, on all occasions, to support the principle of local self government, and to keep down the burthen of local taxation. I have given an undeviating support to every liberal and just measure for the promotion of Reform in the Law; for the im provement of the Education of the People; for the Exercise of due Economy in our Public Establishments; for the Abolition of compulsory Church Rates; and for the enactment of that mea sure of Representative Reform, the first effect of which is, I am happy to say, the great enlargement of the electoral body of the Kingdom. Many important subjects must come before the next Parlia ment, and my conduct shall be animated by the same principles. The question of the Irish Church must at once occupy the serious attention of the New Parliament. I gave, and shall con tinue to give, my cordial support to Mr. Gladstone on this great question, the settlement of which will, I firmly believe, remove a fruitful source of discontent in Ireland, and greatly tend to promote the true interests of Protestantism throughout the United Kingdom. I shall carefully watch the estimates of every department of the Public Service, more especially that of the Admiralty, with the view of obtaining increased efficiency, combined with greater economy in the expenditure of the public money. I believe it is of the utmost importance still further to extend and improve the Education of the People, and that in the interest of our manufacturers more attention should be given to Technical Instruction ; and I shall zealously :support any measures that may be likely to effect so desirable an object. I have the honour to be, GENTLEMEN, Your obedient Servant. HARVEY LEWIS. 24, Grosvenor-street, Aug. 18, 1868. SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &c. ADMIRALTY, Bth August, 1868. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the arrangements for the ADMISSION of persons, not already in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering as ADMIRALTY PUPILS, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 or more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practic e th ereo f. The pupils will b e se l ec t e d by com p e titi ve exam i na ti on , the subjects for w hi c h, and aumbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows: Marks. Pure mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura tion, geometry (plain and descriptive), plane tri gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus . 2,500 Applied mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics ... 1,000 Practical shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi dates only) ~, 2,500 French ... • 500 Elements of physic and chymistry 750 English grammar and composition 750 Geography and History 750 No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the compe tition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will rec3ive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at ls. 6d. per day for six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the School or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study a t the School, and the remaining five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi cal knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in theirsubsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, not later than the Ist September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 28th September and three following days.

All the great American newspapers utilize their staff during the travelling season when taking their recreation. Those who now read through the American journals will find scattered here and there papers of great value from various parts of the Union, and will learn a trait characteristic of Ame ricans who delight to combine business with plea sure. In the Springfield Republican of August 1, there is one of the articles to which we allude " On the Growth of California," evidently from a prac tised writer making notes on the spot. What first strikes him is the great change wrought by the de pression of mining as an interest, and the rise of agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, which in its effect on the wealth, character, and morals of the inhabitants is revolutionary—re-creative. It seems as if the people had been acting on the state ment of the Rev. Horatio Stebbins, made three years ago from a San Francisco pulpit, " that no high civilization was ever built over a gold mine." The chief source of Californian wealth is now the grain crop, the value of which this year in wheat alone is equal to the gold and silver produce, or $25,000,000. To the estimated wheat crop, of 3,000,000 quarters, of which 2,000,000 will be available for export, may be added ten million bushels of barley, two and a half million bushels of oats, half a million tons of hay, without calculating the enormous returns of fruits and vegetables, with wine and other yields therefrom, the agricultural products samming up in value fully double the extract of bullion. This is the third year in succession of harvests so abundant that California has been able, at a gratifying profit, largely to export grain. In 1866 she sent away 5,000,000 bushels of wheat ; in 1867, 10,000,000 ; and it is calculated that this year the export will not be far short, if it does not exceed, 15,000,000 bushels. The profits made have stimulated culti vation, which is conducted on a grand scale by men of capital. The farms employ large forces of men and horses, and during these last years the profits have been counted in tens of thousands of dollars. The rush for land is becoming speculative, and all the finest valleys in the State have been bought, generally at a small advance on Govern ment prices. Labourers and speculators have com bined to settle new localities; one in Fresno county being for 80,000 acres, and another combination has bought three-fourths of the famous Cayon Rancho, near San Diego, getting 30,000 acres to build the settlement, at one dollar an acre. The prices of bread stuffs are at about half those in the Atlantic cities ; the best flour ranging from 265. to 30s.—eight shillings per 1001 b. for wheat and six shillings for barley. The average yield is twenty bushels of wheat to the acre, but some fertile lands carefully cultivated turn out three times that amount. The climate is almost perfection for the growing and harvesting of grain, and nature has favoured the State with other facilities scarcely less valuable. Those who look at the formation of the country will see that California is a long strip, with mountains running parallel to the coast till they reach the towering summits of the Sierra Nevada. Between that range and the coast is another of lesser magnitude with a magni ficent valley between. Through these valleys to the North and South of San Francisco flow rivers which derive an abundant supply of water from the great ranges, the main stream of the Southern country flowing North, and of the Northern country flow ing South till they meet in the estuary, whereon stands San Francisco. The spurs of the Sierra Nevada form minor valleys, each of which sends its stream to the West till it reaches the great river. Thus the facilities of water carriage are abundant, enabling the farmers to carry their grain to the wharves of San Francisco. With so great a mining interest, with so profit able and increasing an agricultural interest, manu factures in a country so isolated from civilization rapidly go a head. California may be said now to make all her own machinery and all her own woollen goods. She imports, but refines her sugars, and it is probable, from the extraordinary success of the experiments with beet, that instead of importing she may soon export the raw material. She makes 4,000,000 cigars a month. The 2,000 kegs of gunpowder each week used by the Pacific Railroad are made in the State. Cotton and silk are both being successfully manufactured, and the cultiva tion of the silk-worm, as also that of beetroot, pro mises to be far more profitable than in France. Captain William Itlynie, of Sacramento, feeds about a million silkworms, and will sell from 800 to 1,000 ounces of eggs, most of which will go to Europe, where the California eggs are iu great demand, as the best known. Roughly estimating the value of the manufac tures, the Springfield Republican puts it higher DR. PUSEY AND UNIVERSI7 Y EDUCA -7 lON. The following letter has been addressed to the ex-President of the Wesleyan Conference, which has just closed its sittings at. Liver pool : " Reverend Sir,—As you are assembled in conference, you will not, I trust, consider it an intrusion if I write to you upon a sub ject with which, having been long resident at the university of Oxford, I am well acquainted —the bearings of Mr. Coleridge's bill on its religious condition and your own interests as a religious body. That bill has commonly been advocated in the House of Commons as being in the interest of the different dissenting bodies. lam convinced that it can be in the interest of no religious dissenting body —of no dissenting body at all, except the Socinians, and not even of them permanently ; for Socinianism, being one of the most incon sistent of all religionisms, can maintain no long hold upon the human mind. It must go downwards towards Deism, even while it con tinues to call itself Christian, or to acknowledge some ideal Christ of its own invention. But this is a time of increasing consistency. People will take their side more and more, either with the old creeds of the Church or with some forms of irreligion which, whatever it may call itself, will be essentially atheist, or pan theistic. The effect of Mr. Coleridge's bill would be to legitimise this conflict within the university of Oxford. The body, whose inte rests it would advance, would be those whose indistinct belief is ever being precipitated down wards, who, hardly know what they themseves believe, and who, under the name of progress, are ever retrograding to the hopeless scepti cism before our Lord came. It is true that this—although a diminishing party among our young men—does exist among us ; some have gone further than this—to the denial of Christianity itself, of their own free agency, and of God. But they are, of course, in a false position in a university which has any test or any common faith at all. The effect of Mr. Coleridge's bill would be to legitimise their position and acknowledge them among the teachers of our Christian youth. You would not wish your own youth so to be taught ; the only result which I can imagine of his bill would be to drive our future clergy also to seek their education elsewhere, as in matter of fact in Franco, the bishops, in order to exempt their candidates for orders from the soul-destroying influence of the university of France, obtained for them from the Em peror Napoleon an exemption from the neces sity of passing through a university course to which they had. been subject under the pre vious dynasties. Supposing the present state of things to be changed, some of us have thought of two alternative expedients. The one would be to substitute for subscription to the 39 Articles an acknowledgment of the faith according to the Nicene Creed. This would admit to all the privileges and fellow ships of the university any members of dissent ing bodies, who hold the common creed of . Christendom, such as you hold, and such as, at least, the Particular Baptists and the Inde pendents hold—all Dissenters, in fact, who have not lapsed into Socinianism. The other plan, which has been publicly advocated by Mr. Lid don and myself, would, I should think, be more acceptable to the religious dissenting bodies, viz., that we should each teach accord ing to our own belief until God brings us all to one mind, and that out of the funds of the colleges provision should be made for those dissenting bodies who wished tobe represented in the university—in a word that new col leges should be founded out of the revenues of the oldones for the different bodies who hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Bet ter, indeed, even to decide that Socinianism should be endowed than to allow that all col leges should become Socinian, sceptical, de istic, and atheistic. Either of these ways would be religious ways ; and however un acceptable such plans might be to the Libe rals at Oxford, because they both of them pre suppose the continued recognition of a definite , faith, they would, I am sure, be to the vast 'majority a the members of the unlyersity far PRICE.. 4d. STAMPE D 5 I preferable to Mr. Coleridge's bill, which would entrust the education of our youth to, as it may be, deist or atheist. For ourselves, I have always observed that proximity and intercourse lead to a better understanding, and that the only hopeless alienation comes from absolute severance. Allow me to commend this subject to your consideration and your prayers ; and forgive me if I also beg you to pray, as we do, that all these unhappy breaches may be healed, and we may be all one fold under one Shepherd. If we pray, God will hear us in His own way. Yours very faith fully, in Christ Jesus, E. B. PUSEY." In another letter, in explanation of the above Dr. Pusey says : In a letter to the Times, Dr. Pusey explains the meaning of his communication to the Wesleyan Conference. He, says : I certainly do believe that we are in a state of revolution, and that as a part of that revolution, in all human appearance, the days of Establish ments aro numbered, whether, in fact, the dis establishment comes a little sooner or a little later. I have for some time expected the Irish Establish ment to be modified or abolished first, then the Scotch, then the English. I naturally do not wish for disestablishment, but it is well to be pre pared for anything. But, disestablishment as sumed (and Mr. Coleridge's bill is a very large in stalment of the disestablishment of the English Church, and, in principle, carries the whole), the next question, and what, sooner or later, would become the important question, is in what way disestablishment is to be carried out—whether by the denominational system, or (which is Mr. Coleridge's plan) by secularization. People's minds have been so occupied by the question be tween establishment and disestablishment that they have not faced the further question whether, if the Church should be disestablished, its funds should be secularised, or whether they should be so disposed that all denominations should be equally endowed according to their importance and numbers. In Mr. Coleridge's bill it is tacitly assumed that so much of the Church's property as is employed in university education should be secularised. My motive, then, for writing to the president of the Wesleyan Conference was this : I believe Mr. Coleridge's bill to be very pernicious, not to the Church of England only, but to religion generally. In discussions both in and out of Parliament it was assumed that Mr. Coleridge's bill was in the interest of the Dissenters. I was convinced that it would benefit no Dissenting body except the Unitarians, that the so-called orthodox (i.e. the non-Socinianising) Dissenters would gain absolutely nothing by it, and would be among the first to deplore its effects. They would gain no thing in the way of assistance in the education of their sons; for all scholarships and exhibitions are now given to superior attainments ; and the son of a Dissenter, who has abilities and culture enough to gain a scholarship .or exhibition, is entirely on a par with any Churchman. This year even a divinity scholarship (I was myself an examiner) was awarded to one who was about to be a minister in the Establishment in Scotland. Still the num ber of Dissenters at Oxford is but small, because religious Dissenters mostly prefer having their children educated in their own system. This pre ference appeared from the statistics of the London University a few years ago. Degrees were con ferred on every denomination of Dissenters, but the young men upon whom they were conferred had been educated, not in the London University, but in schools belonging to their respective bodies. I thought then, and think still, that religious Dis senters would prefer a system whereby they would gain the intellectual advantages of the university, while they retained the religious teaching of their sons in the hands of those of their own per suasion, to one in which they might be taught (as Mr. Coleridge's bill would allow) seriatim by a Baptist, a Socinian, a Deist, an Atheist, a Pantheist; or, contrariwise, by a Roman Ca tholic. Such a mixture of religious or irreligious teaching would mostly end in religious indif - ference or scepticism. Anyhow, I wished the Dissenting bodies to have the question before them, and I wrote to the president of the Wesleyan Conference, because, as the Conference was then sitting, the subject could be considered by them conveniently. Little sympathy as they may have with me, they are, I believe, the most religious body external to the Church, and the most opposed to rationalism, and would, I hoped and hope, give the subject consideration on its own merits. But in neither of the plans did those who agree with me give up the principle of definite dogmatic teaching. The Nicene Creed contains so much dogmatic teaching that anyone who really received it would not be far from being a good Catholic. He must on most matters of faith which have to be taught to young men teach as we. The other plan of forming colleges for the different religious bodies who wished to have them is a mere matter of money. A good deal of the revenues of the colleges are wasted, since by the Oxford Commission BO many fellowships have been made permanent sinecure rewards for the attain ments of young men of 22 or 23, without any re ference to any future service to education. The alienation of such revenue for the formation of Dissenting colleges would not leave the existing colleges less efficient. The proximity of a Wes leyan, Baptist, or even Socinian college might only make our own teaching more definite. Nor do I apprehend that it would involve any increase of controversy; rather, our existing side by side, eac h body preserving its own faith until it should see greater truth elsewhere, would be more likely to soften edges than to sharpen them. I fear not for, the faith itself, but for- the minds of the young. What I do fear is that young men, in the excite ment of the fresh feelings of intellectual power, before judgment is matured, and when they them selves are disposed to embrace anything which looks to them new and bold, should be committed to irreligious novelties which may destroy their faith. I never looked for .any answer from the Wesleyan Conference. I only wished them to consider a question which concerns their con sciences, not mine, whether they will be a party to the secularizing of the University, seeing, in the condition of the University of France and of the Protestant Universities of Germany, what the result will be. Mr. Coleridge's bill involves a principle of far more moment and of far greater extent than the proposal to disestablish the Irish Church. For (as you rightly say) the Universities are " not the only national institutions." They were founded, indeed, for the benefit of the nation, but by the piety of individuals, much more than many of the endowments of the Church. If the Universities are secularised (as Mr. Coleridge pro poses), so on the same principle may be the cathe drals and the parish churches, and the endowments of both. His bill carries the principle, not of dis establishment only, but of secularization. The Wesleyan Conference wisely did not commit itself at once to any opinion upon a subject which was new to them. But, notwithstanding what has been s tid of a somewhat hard attitude which they have taken towards the Church of Englan - I, I have too much confidence in their religious feelings to think that,with their eyes open, they would support Mr. Coleridge's measure, which will only weaken the Church of England by corrupting ft. They may wish to rival the Church of England, but their rivalry would be, as they would believe, for the winning souls to Christ. They would not wish to promote a plan by which until our sons should be removed from the University soul-destroying wor ship, should be taught to the members and future ministers of the Church of England. They have their own College for the education of their ministers.

Flammarioi gives an accou nt pf the h e nomena nomena he observed during a late scientific ascenl in an air-balloon. As regards sound, he states that it s in tensity is propagated to a considerable height in the atm os ph ere, Thus, he heard the whistle of a steam-engine at an a ltit u d e of 3,000 metres ; the noise of a railway train passing, at 2,500 metres ; the barking of dogs at 1,800 metres ; the report of a gun, the same ; the cries of a large crowd, the crowing of cocks, and the noise of bells at 1,600 metres ; the sound of drums and the music of an orchestra at 1,400 metres; the rumbling of carriages on a stone pavement at 1,200 metres; the human voice at 1,000 metres (Bths of a mile) ; the croaking of frogs at 900 ; and the chirping of a cricket at 800 metres. It is not so in the case of a descending sound ; for the •voice of an aeronaut at an altitude' of 106 metres cannot make itself distinctly heard. The clouds offer no impediment to an ascending sound. The average velocity per second in the latter case is about 340 metres. The quiet waters of the lake echo the sound best upwards. While the balloon moves in obedience to the current, its shadow sweeps either the earth or the clouds. It is generally black, but it sometimes happens that, falling upon a darker spot than itself on the country, it assumes rather a luminous appearance. In this case, examined through a telescope, it is found to consist of a dark central nucleus surrounded by luminous penumbra. On the green trees of a forest it appears yellow. On the clouds, when they are white, and at the moment of issuing again into the pure sky with the sun shining, the air balloon is minutely depicted with all its details ; and of a greyish hue. When it has reached an altitude of 3,300 metres, the sky appears dark and impenetrable, in proportion as there is a diminution of moisture. The light of the rising sun appears to penetrate through every ter restrial object, while that of the moon, which is always red, seems only to glide over them. LAW AND POLICE. EXCESS OF DUTY EY POLICEMEN.—At the Worship. street Police-court Thomas Myers was charged with assaulting two policemen of the H division. One of the constables deposed that on Saturday evening, about half-- past six, while on duty in Old Montagu-street, Mile-end New Town, the prisoner wilfully jostled against him, and on being remonstrated with called him by a foul epithet, and struck him two blows in the face and one in the breaat breaking the glass of a watch he wore. He also tore the buttonhole off his uniform coat, on witness seizing him to take him into custody. Prisoner also kicked him in the thigh. It was proved that the corn. plainant knocked against the defendant and struck him, and on being remonstrated with apprehended him. The accused was discharged. THE ALLEGED PROMOTION OF BUBBLE COMPANIES.— At the Guildhall, Edward Yelland, of 26, New Bridge.% street, Blackfriars, and 25, Westbourne-road Vills t % Westbourne Park, surrendered to his recognis' ances to answer the charge of having defrauded several persons of divers sums of money by means of false pretences. No person appeared to prosecute, and consequently the charge was dismissed.—Alderman Finnis said that was a case in which the public were very much interested, because there was an attempt to get up a bubble company, and obtain money by false pretences. He was in hopes that the whole of it would have been exposed. There was Mr. Yelland going about the country appointing agents everywhere, and the poor people who had been for years saving were induced to send up their money for policies which only defrauded them of their savings. If the case had gone on he would certainly have sent it for trial, and had the whole proceedings thoroughly exposed. It was a very cruel fraud, that practice of getting up in- surance companies and taking poor people's money, and when there was a case of death there were no funds to pay the policy. He felt that court had been made a very im proper use of in effecting a compromise of the charge. It was clear the witnesses bad got their money back, and thee were satisfied, but the public were not. ATTEMPT TO DROWN A FRIEND.—At the Clerkenweil Police court, Alfred Miles, an engine-driver, was charged with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Frank Barnes, an apprentice. The boots were missed, and on the prisoner's house being searched the stolen property was discovered there. On this being found out, the other apprentices seized hold of the prisoner, threw him into the Regent's Canal, and pelted him with stones, and, according to his own statement, nearly drowned him. The accused was committed for three months. A STORY OF SPIRITS. In a report just made by Dr. Chapin, the resident physician of a lunatic asylum in the United States—the King's County Asylum, at Flatbush—a narrative is given of the case of Mrs. H. K., a Wisconsin lady of strong sense and considerable intellectual power, who set herself to the work of exposing the imposture of spiritualism. Puzzled, however, by what she saw and heard, and morti fied at failing to find the clue to what she had believed was susceptible of rational solution, her mind became agitated and unsettled. She was in great anxiety about her son, who had gone to California and ceased to write to her ; and in an attack of nervous or irritable fever sbe suddenly discovered that she was herself " a medium," and learnt from the spirits who communicated with her that she must visit her son forthwith. Keeping the disclosure a secret, she obtained money from her hus. band under pretence of going to see her married daughter in Michigan, who was not in prosperous circumstances, and might need some aid. She determined to go first to New York, where she calculated on being able to find a gentleman whom she had known, and to get directions for taking her journey. It was quite dark when she reached Jersey city, and, prompted by her unseen monitors, she left her luggage (retaining the check), and with her satchel in her band, followed, as she was directed to do, a lady and gentleman who sat in front of her. She went after them by the ferryboat and into the New York street car, and got out when they got out. In a few minutes they ascended some steps, and disappeared from her sight. For a moment she stood in doubt, but was directed to walk on. At the corners of the streets she stopped occasionally to consult the spirits, and turned to the right or to the left, in accordance with their dictation. Believing that alone and at night she would not be admitted to a first-class hotel, and afraid to enter one of a less respectable character lest she might be robbed, after much seemingly purposeless wandering her weary steps were guided to a restaurant. Here she remained until admonished that it was time to close. Asking to see the proprietor, she requested of him to be allowed to remain sitting where she was until morning. He was surprised at the request, but his wife, after a little conversation, kindly offered to make her as comfortable for the night as the limited apartments which she occu pied over the restaurant would allow. In the morning the keeper of the restaurant obtained accommodation for her at a respectable hotel in the neighbourhood. She now began to look for her friend, in which vain search she exhausted two most fatiguing days. Persons upon whom she called to make inquiries usually treated her kindly, but occasionally, when she chanced to allude to her being in communion with spirits, she was derisively advised t> ask them to direct her to the house of her friend. Since she lay on her sick bed at home the communi , ations of the spirits to her had not been generally oral, but by touching some part of her person they would indicate to her if the thought or project that was occupying her mind at that precise moment was the proper one to be acted on. When in doubt—if walking, fur instance, or if questioned—she would stop a moment, until her true course or reply should be thus made known to her. During her wanderings about the streets of New York she was several times accosted by ladies who kindly offered their services, but being invariably touched at the thought she could do without them, she so expressed her self, and, thanking them;passed on. Unable to find the gentleman she sought, she was directed to call upon a dis tinguished clergyman in Brooklyn. His residence she readily found, but he was not at home when she called. Hoping to find him early in the morning, she returned to take lodgings at an hotel in that city. During the evening, meeting some ladies and gentlemen in the parlour of the hotel, who seemed interested in the subject of spiritualism, she entertained them with a recital of her experience, and the purpose for which, under the guidance of the spirits, she came hither. The next morning, to her surprise, the proprietor of the hotel introduced her to a gentleman whom he called by the name of the clergyman already alluded to. Though he bore not the slightest resemblance to his photographic likenesses, which everyone has seen, yet, as he had not a moment to spare, she did not stop to consider this, but accepted at once his kind offer to escort her to his mansion. At the door of the hotel she was pre sented to two gentlemen, who said they came to call upon her and to talk with her upon the subject of spiritualism and kindred topics, with which they had been in. formed she was familiar ; but they said they would not detain the party, and so they all walked on together, conversing as they went. But the pretended clergyman was a police-detective, his man ' sion a house of detention, and the two gentlemen in search of information were physicians sent to test her sanity. Before noon she was conveyed to the lunatic asy lum. At first she was in a very dejected state, and with difficulty could be induced to take any food ; but as soon as her innate inclination for argument revived, she began to recover, and then all belief in these supernatural com munications completely vanished. At the end of a month she was well. Her son's silence had been caused by his being ill and wishing his mother not to be "worrying herself " about him.
