JULLIEI.\T'S CONCERTS. November, which was wont to be the most dreary of the twelve months of the year, so far, at least, as the metropolis was concerned, has for some years past, thanks to the regular appearance during that month of M. Jullien and his band at Drury-lane Theatre, be come by no means the least pleasant of the months, and the gloominess under which Londoners were wont fduring November to suffer, has been effec tually dispelled by the music, the lights, the statues, the crush, end the excitement evoked by the magic baton of M. Jullien. The season of M. Juilien's Promenade Concerts commenced last evening, and the ' programme is a most promising one. All the old favourites are retained; KeeDig, Collinet, Lazarus, and Deloffre are still among the soloists, and in addi ' tion Sivori, Piatti, and Bottesini are engaged, and we have Miss Dolby as the vocalist, vice Jetty Treffz Among the musical novelties promised are a selection from Mozart's Zauborflote, a selection from Beet hoven's Fidelio, an Indian quadrille, composed by M. Jullien, on East Indian melodies, a new grand qua drille, entitled " The St. Leger Day," descriptive of the grand national races of England, and which is to he produced on Wednesday, and a new humorous quadrille on American and English melodies, to be produced on Thursday, entitled " The Bloomers' Quadrille," beside a variety of new waltzes, polkas, and quadrilles, which have been composed by M. Jullien expressly for her Majesty's state balls. The theatre is elegantly fitted up in the same style as last year, the refreshment rooms are on the same scale of comfort, and the reading room is even more richly supplied with journals and periodicals than it was lest season. The theatre was crammed to excess in every part long before the commencement of the concert ; it was a misnomer, insulting to the persons "on the floor," to designate that por tion of the house last night as a promenade, it was more than a crush, it was a regular jam, and the un fortunate, who found himself in the midst, could nei ther advance nor retreat ; could turn neither to the right nor to the left, but like a ship embayed in the ice was forced to drift with "the pack ;" the compari son to an ice-pack, however, does not hold good in one sense, for the heat was sufficiently intense to have thawed Wenham Lake itself. The appearance of Jullien in the orchestra was the signal for a burst of enthusiastic applause, followed by loud cries for " God save the Queen !" The band ac cordingly struck up the National Anthem, and were accompanied by the audience, who after a fashion more hearty than harmonious joined in chorus. This was followed by Beethoven's Leonora overture to Fidelio, which was admirably performed, listened to most attentively, and applauded to the echo. This was followed by a new quadrille, arranged by Jul lien, from the opera of 1l Prodigo. The quadrille, which concludes with the " Pas de Poignards," was applauded enthusiastically ; it possesses the elements of en enduring popularity. The great hit of the evening, however, was Bottesini's solo fantasia on the contra-basso from airs in Bellini's Sonnambula. The astonishing performance of Bottesini on this unwieldy instrument, which, in his hands, becomes by turn a trumpet, flute, flageolet, violin, and gives forth every variety of sound from its ownnatural growl to the softest tones of an .2Eolian harp, hushed the vast crowd into the most solemn silence, and at the conclusion the applause was vociferous, and the call for a repe tition tunanimous. Miss Dolby sang the Page's song, "Noble Seigneurs," from the Huguenots, very effectively, and the first part concluded with the " Grand Exhibiti on Q ua d r ill e ," w hich, with the crystal curtain (which we are happy to say is as bril liant as ever), divided the honour of lest season. The ,vieces de resistance in the second part were the selection from the Iluguenots and the andante from Beethoven's symphony D, both of which were admi rably performed. A new polka by Jullien, entitled The Crystal Fountain, as sparkling as its title, achieved an immense success ; and the unaccompanied trio from Robert Le Diable, by Kcenig, Cioffi, and Prospere, was much applauded. The season could no' have had a more brilliant commencement. OLYMPIC THEATRE. The Merchant of Venice was performed here last evening, when Miss Laura Keene sustained the character of Portia for the first time. The in dulgence of the audience was claimed for her on the ground that she was labouring under illness, and such was evidently the case, notwithstanding which, however, she played with such intense dramatic feel ing and that marked intelligence, such she succeeded in eliciting repeated bursts of applause, and achieved a complete success. Mr. Henry Warren was the Shylock, and gave a careful and correct version of the part, and Compton as Lo.uncelot Gobbo was the best who has appeared since Liston. A new farce, the aim, object, and conduct of which may be guessed from its name, The Original Bloomer, was aftewards produced, and was completely successful. STAAND THEATRE. A rattling piece of fun, provocative of continuous explosions of mirth from the audience, was produced last night at this theatre. This production of the comic alembic of Messrs. Augustus Mayhew and Edwards, is entitled The Fifth of November, and ap pears to have the laudeble object of casting discredit on the childish and dangerous practice of exploding fireworks as a testimonial of loyal abhorrence of the dark designs of Guy Fawkes against the British Solomon and the Peers in Parliament assembled. Mr. Wheeler (Tilbury), an elderly gentleman of the old school, who seems to think there is an intimate and insuperable connexion between the existence, constitution, and the observance of all time-honoured customs, is introduced, giving orders for the incarna tion of a well got up Guy. His daughter (Miss Mar shall), on the other hand, belongs to the extreme gauche on this subject, and for this, and a too lively feeling for Mr. Sinjohn (Mr. Rogers), she is confined to her chamber, whilst he is expelled the house. But as lovers are never at a loss for an expedient, particu larly on the stage, Sinjohn assumes the paraphernalia of the Guy, and i❑ this disguise finds ready accept ance from the father. He is finally taken out to be cast into the bonfire, when the father, hearing the real state of the case, orders the revellers to stay further proceedings, but somewhat too late. The unfortunate lover is brought back in an apparently dying condition, and the old gentleman then, in order to soothe his last hours, consents to give away the daughter. The accepted lover overjoyed at the event tells his father-in-law that he has been done, it having been " the regular Guy" that was cast into the fire. The Fifth of November is a successful addition to the repertoire of agreeable short pieces, in the pro duction of which the management of Punch's Play house seems to be inexhaustible.

Mainon and Sons, French basket importers, 12, Holborn-hill, at the corner of Castle-street. The building was four stories high, and be tween 60 and 70 feet deep. The fire commenced, from some cause not clearly ascertained, in the back part of the premises and, owing to the inflammable nature of the contents, the work of destruction progressed wills such rapidity that be fore an engine had time to reach the spot the whole of the back buildings were in a blaze. The engines of the London Brigade and West of England Company, with the Royal Society's fire-escapes, having arrived the most strenuous ex ertions were made to subdue the fire, but it was nearly mid night ere this could be accomplished, and not until the greater portion of the extensive property had been reduced to ashes, and considerable damage done to the premises ad- joining. The total loss must, at a moderate calculation, amount to several hundred pounds. THE INFLUENCE OF LEGISLATURE UPON FASHION. —Sir Robert Peel's Bill having discarded a large portion of the duty upon dress, the public appear now to be reaping the full benefit of that measure. At the Customs' examinations we notice these facts and obtain also a notion of that which is denied to us else% here, viz.—what is to be the vogue during the current month. A large case consigned to the Messrs. Jay, which was opened yesterday, displayed some bonnets of a white and semi-transparent ground, on which was a raised cord that appeared remarkably new. The sciutillatory and diamond-like effect of some of the head dresses was very chaste and elegant. There were likewise some bonnets, for which one of our countrymen has taken out a patent both in France and in England. It had really puzzled us to know how so much style and variety could be produced for a house which is limited to specialities, but it would seem that the recurring success of these importations is attributable to the constant visits and personal superin tendance in Paris of the Artiste en Mode, who directs the coafeetion of the millinery for the salons in Regent-street. THE O MNIBUSES.—The whole of the omnibuses generally following their example. on the Oxford -street line having reduced their fares, the ve hicles on the Piccadilly and Strand line of road are pretty the Westminster omnibuses, have reduced the fares to and from_ the City from 4d. to 3d. the entire distance, and the The Pimlico, as well as of Pimlico Blue" omnibuses, which run to the further portion pas sengers t 0 00 andan d fromS 1 °a n ec- Charm q a u r i a n r g e ~ cross announce an d the eeither carriage her end ofof the journey at the lesserwfhatrlee, theretaining the full fare of <ld. for the entire distance, to o r thing, but retain the fo Sloane street and the Bank, anudrp6ednny Chelsea omnibuses do the same fare to and from Sloant ning to and from lliingerforto-market also the case with the numerous on this route. In addition to these concessions,d the omnibuses run :ha Po runninglae c journey;i Paddington n gtor have as v i e s on the roof. It appears now that reduced their fares from 4d. 3d., and 2d. only, as before, the opportunity of rallyto and from Charing-crsss at travellingl by must of the omnibuses line recently started on the Oxford -street and Holborpn"..."jetY they are indebted to the o nbeyatthe low fares, and doubt less also to the remarks madeof the fare, for which subject. the public journals on this ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIL—Mr. Francis Whishaw, the inventor of this important discovery, is about to deliver illustrated lectures in London, one view of which will he to demonstrate that the charge need not be more than a shilling for every twenty words, from all the priuci kingdom.pal towne of the T H E about 200 yards, where there there is a ral.id called the Castello Viejo. At the foot of the rapid passen gers have to disembark from the steamer, w.‘lk or ride a distance of 200 yards, and re-embark in' an other steamer, which they have succeeded in crying up the rapid, which steamer takes them up the river into the Lake of Nicaragua, a distance of 30 nailer., and across the lake to Virgin Bay, a further distance of GO miles. From this place to San Juan del Sud, the port on the Pacific, is a distance of 12 miles. The road is mostly level, and in the wet season. very muddy, but infinitely superior to the Cruces and Gon the Panama r ou t e . I t being the the water is the ri ver b e i ng vinse weto rg s o e m roads, quently hie), the steamers have at present no difi3culty in navigating it, but whether they will be able to do so when the water has fallen, the next season will show. The passage from Grey Town to San Juan del Sud is 40 dollars ; this includes a riding mule from Virgin Bay to San Juan. Paisengc rs' naggage is charged at the rate of l 0 cents per lb. There were five vessels with passengers expected at San Juan ou the 22d September. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, JA:i (Fruce De Cordova's Mercantile bitelligertcer, Oat. 11.) GENERAL REMARKS.

The at titude of St. Ewald is precisely that which I once saw assumed by a lumens mesmerist, when throwing a pa tient into the mesmeric sleep.' " I remain, yours faithfully, " THCMAB CHANDLER. " 58, Paradise-street, Rothorhithe, July 14, 1851." Mr. Chandler has employed an artist to lithograph the original picture of Bernard von Orley, and there we see St. Ewald the Fair standing over the woman with the first and middle fingers of his right hand extended towards the woman—his eyes intently fixed upon her countenance—in fact, an accomplished mesmerist mesmerising a patient, and she herself dis plays that peculiar expression of countenance which is exhibited by those who, endeavouring to resist mes meric power, are at length compelled to give way to its influence, and with her extended hand uplifted, as though endeavouring by a last despairing effort to fight mesmerism by mesmesism, is in the act of sink ing into a reclining position ; and to any one who has attended a mesmeric seance, and has studied the expression of patients who are about to become com pletely subjected to mesmeric influence, it is evident that in a few seconds the woman will be in a mes meric sleep. Here we have an instance of the suc cessful practice of mesmerism more that a thousand years ago, and the very valuable note which Dr. Elliotson has appended to the communication by Mr. Chandler proves that the saint was only practising a method of miracle-working which had been handed down by tradition from the time of the Egyptians, and that he was merely doing empirically: that which the Egyptian priests had been two thousand years before in the habit of practising rationally and scientifically. " The Saint is represented extending his thumb and fore and middle fingers towards the patient's front, while his ring and middle fingers are bent against his palm. This is a very ancient representation of an exertion of influence. " To the edition of the anatomical works of Galen by Joannes Guinter, in 1531, is prefixed the figure of a man, with his hands crossed upon his breast, imploring another person, who is atretehing forth his own hand towards the sufferer, and whose thumb and two adjoin ing fingers are extended, while the ring and middle fingers are bent. Galen flourished in the second century. "In another edition of Galen's works, published in 1625, to the book de seeds ad eos is prefixed the figure of a man with his right hand stretched forth; the thumb and two adjoining fingers are extended, while the other two are bent. "The works of the ancient Egyptians were destroyed at the period of the invasion by the Romans, and wo know no more of their medical and mesmeric practice 'that can be learnt from the history and writings of other nations who were acquainted with Egypt in its prosperity and decline. Their medical practice was divided into the ordinary and the occult. Its practice was forbidden to the common people, and permitted to kings, grandees, and priests only. In the monument which is named the Table of Isis, are three persons; one lies upon a bed, a second places his belt hand upon the other's breast and holds up his right wide open, while a third, in front of the second, who is looking towards him, holds his right hand above the head of the recumbent person, with his thumb and two adjoining fingers ex tended and the two others bent. The gesture and atti tude of the third person are very striking; ho evidently is giving directions. " The Indians, according to M. Gauthi e r, lik e o th er nations, observed that the mesmeric force was great, active, and penetrating in the thumb and two adjoining fingers, united and extended, while the two others were bent; and the force was diminished when all were ex tended. " The god Vishnu has four arms and eight hands; two arms and their hands are raised, the others at a level with the chest. The thumb and two adjoining fingers of the raised hands are extended, the two other fingers bent. Each of these four hands are surrounded by flame. " Tho four hands of the two other arms are wide open. The god presents them all with an evident inten tion, which was not discerned by antiquarians because they were ignorant of mesmerism. "Other divinities, Chiven, Parachiven, Ravanen, Para chati, aro represented sometimes with four arms, some times with many, and all the hands are represented open and extended, or with three fingers raised and two bent." Now, these are assertions deliberately made, and however startling they may be from their boldness— and we honour Dr. Elliotson for the boldness and dependence with which he has always given utter ance to what he believes to be the truth—they are as sertions that cannot be met with and put down by clamour. No doubt we shall have raised a sacer dotal chorus of blasphemy, aided by a medical semi chorus of quackery; but mankind are now too en lightened to be misled either by theological or medic▪ al bigots. In these days public opinion reigns supreme, because the public is now an educated public and a reasoning public, and cannot be misled by a cry, whatever the Tapers and Tad poles of theology, politics, and science may thi▪ nk to the contrary. The public will not be frightened from its propriety by any cries, but the public will demand that the gainsayers of Dr. Elliotson shall condescend to argument, and if they contend that he is wrong, will demand from them proof that he is in error; and as it is clear that he has advanced nothi▪ ng in the above passage semi upon the authority of those whom his gainsayers themselves must admit to be credible and trustworthy witnesses, will estimate the opposition of the interested opponents of truth at its true value. Oa the subject of miracles generally we would recommend to attentive study the following comment (all occurs in the same paper) by Dr. Elliotson on the admirable work of the celebrated Conyers Middleton on miracles. Dr. Elliotson says:— " While there can be no reason to differ from Mid dleton as to the utterance of much downright falsehood and error, and the occurrence of much that was ordi nary natural result unconnected with the means em ployed, the knowledge which we now possess of natural facts unknown to the majority of educated persons of modern times renders it indisputable, not that Middle ton was mi s t a k en i n conc l u di ng that th e r e were no miracles on these occasions, but that things occurred which he touk for granted to be impossible, and effects were produced by causes which he took for granted to be inadequate to their production. He was ignorant of the facts of mesmerism. Ho did not know, as we do, wak and inclination ; of cerebral h that clairvoyanco i n s l ee p- wa ki ng , and without sleep ing, is, and al ways h as b een , a t ac t ; h e did no t k now the occurrence te power of f sympathy the of silent sensation, no He did not kn ow t h e e ff ects of mesmer i c processes nor their power over disease, not to say of all kinds, but of any kind. Ile did not know the stupendousness of the power of suggestion an d i mag i nat i on. W i th the know ledge which we possess, he would have allowed that oracles and prophecies were often genuine; that heathen and post-apostolic wonders, though not miracles in the sense of supernatur a li sm , were not the less possible, and in innumerable instances were no d ou b t true. Many Jews and Christians, th oug h not i nsp i red nor miracu lously endowed, acted like persons of all the nations who bad preceded them and w h o surroun d ed them, and spoke and accomplished things whi c h i gno ranceonly ascribed to supernatural agency, holy or impure as their revilers might choose, er de n i e d f rom t h o fancy of impossibility." In illustration of the above passage, Dr. Elliotson quotes an example, in which he thinks Conyers Middleton was mistaken. Middleton relates a story of St. Jerome, recorded by St. Ililarion, in which, ac cording to Hilarion, St. Jerome had exorcised a Bactrian camel, of enormous size, which had become mad, or possessed. "The camel' s ey es were bl oo d y, his mouth foaming, his tongue r o lling a n d swo ll en, and his strange roarings above all terrors. The old man ordered it to be let loose, upon which all who were about him rau away immediately. The Saint LITERATURE. TILE ZOIST. No. XXX V. Of almost all our modern (so called) discoveries, the germ may be found in ancient times. The recently discovered sculptures of Egypt and of Nineveh prove to us that some of our most recent inventions are merely revivals of inventions which bad been in common use three thousand years ago among the civilized populations of the plains of Asia and of the Valley of the Nile; and even our most recent disco veries in modern science, discoveries the reality of which are denied by interested and prejudiced men, the priests of science (for science, like religion, has its priesthood as ignorant, as bigotted, as prejudiced, and as blind to the full as their compeers the priests of theology), can be proved to have been practised in the very earliest ages, and to have been occasionally practised in full faith from those days to the present, although those who practised them may have practised them solely through faith, being unable to give any reason for the faith which was in them. Of these sciences thus practised in ignorance, as it were, mes merism is one, and the first article in the present number of the Zoist records several remarkable in stances of the practice of mesmerism in the middle ages, in which the practiser and the specta tors, being equally ignorant of the cause which produced these wonderful effects, at once jumped to the conclusion that the effects, that is to say, the cures thus wrought, must have been nut, as they really were in accordance with, but contrary to:the laws of nature--that they were, in fact, miracles. This paper is entitled "A Mesmeric Scene a Thousand Years Ago," comunnnicated by Mr. Thomas Chand ler, with a note of Dr. Elliotson. The communica tion of Mr. Chandler is as follows : " Sir,—ln Mrs. Jameson's third volume of Sacred and Legendary Art,' entitled, Legends of the Monastic Orders'—a work full of instruction and amusement—l was much pleased to find the accompsnying sketch, which, by the kind permission of the authoress, I send for publication in the next Zeiss, if you think it worthy of a place. " Mrs. Jameson informs me that Bernard von Orlay was bora about 1490, and died about 1560. By this it would appear that the curative power of mesmerism, which, as has been clearly demonstrated, was known to the ancient Egyptians, has never been entirely 104 sight of, brat has been revived at intervals. It remained, however, for the present age to establish it on a firm foundation. " I think no ono can dispute the fact that St. Ewald is healing the maniac by means of mesmerism, though of course he did not call it by that name. He lived abou 700. _EVENINLI_, FLOREACE SACKVIGLE; or SELP-DE PENDENCE. By Airs. Burbury. 3 Vols. Smith and Elder. This is a❑ interesting and striking autobiography of a young lady who is placed through life i u most trying circumstances. With a selfish and extra vi Igant father, an indolent and unjust mother, and a vain, helpless younger sister, Florence Sackvillc i ndeed requires self-dependence. Her father's affairs b !come hopelessly embarrassed, the family property is sold, and they are left almost penniless, deserted b y the unhappy cause of so much misfortune. Hele) 3, the youngest child, is the mother's favourite, which affection carries her to the improbable extre me of ' refusing thanks or encouragement to her self. sacri ficing eldest child, to cherish an-I commiserate th ,ts sel fish and thoughtless Helen. Vre cannot help re; ,net ting that the talented authoress did not choose 3 some other field of action for her heroine than the one w hich she has drawn. There might hive been less that ; was painful in the story,' and more that was attracti , 7e in the plot. Florence Sackville herself is the chief fea ture of interest, and certainly her misfortunes e: cite the strongest sympathy. Mr. Temple is a despit :able character and quite unworthy tie position of a ] lero. The episode of poor Milly is very painful, thou] ;h it seems a style of subject which is to be found in most novels. 'Why, it might be difiictlt to say, as it can scarcely prove attractive, and theend is always pls ,inly foreseen. The incidents in "Florence Sackvi .11e are striking and varied. Some cf the figures in tro duced are, it is to be feared, very natural, though not always to be admired. The heroine has ani though undisciplined character, rnd the misfort ones and depreciation she so constantl7 meets with 'only increase the admiration of the realer. KOSSUTH DEMONSTRATION IN BIRMINGHAM. Birmingham was yesterday the scene of what was generally admitted to be the most important and general popular demonstration that hsd been witn eased there since the memorable year 1832, when the r t ieet ings of the working classes of that great manufactur: ring town had so beneficial an influence or, the progre s s of the Reform Bill. But although Birmingham i tself was the great scene of excitement, the progres sof Kossuth and his friends might be cbemed a trim nph almost from their departure from London. Owin gto misinformation as to the time of departure, which had appeared in the weekly papers, there were comp; ira tively few persons assembled in Euston-square, wl iere Kossuth and party arrived at 9 o'clock ; but f rom those present the illustrious exile received a n cost warm and enthusiastic reception Mr. Stu art, secretary, Captain Finish, manage ', and the tr, affic superintendent, re ce i ve d t h e visitor. Th e direr;tors had attached th e carr i age originally built for the Queen Dowager t o th e 9i express tra i n , an d : i n it Kossuth took his pl ace, accompan.e d b y M. P u ;l s ki, Mr. Toulmin S m ith, an d M. Hajnicke the Hungarian p o li ce . By the time th e t ra i n h ad arrive d a t W o l ver ti: in it late prefee . 1 of would appear that the electric telecraph had don.e its work, for the station and all the adjoining emb; ank ments were crowded with spectatcrs. So great was the crowd on the platform that it wt's with the gre fittest difficulty the railway police could o btain a passag t 3 for Kossuth. He was tremendously cheered on his 'way to the refreshment room, where he remained for a few minutes, and on his return to his carriage the crowd actually clung to the doors, anxious to catch a parting glimpse of the distinguished stranger. At Coventry the excitement was still more int( inse, as at that place there must have been several thou mud persons congregated about the station. The Hut nga rian colours might be seen in every direction cockades, in bonnets, and on the costumes of the lei lies. Several ladies rushed together to the carriage doors, and presented bou que t s , w hi ch, we nee d h ar dl y a e ld, were most gracefully an d grat e ful :y received. E A:6- suth bowed his ackno w l e d gments repea t e dly, and as the train glided away f rom the stat i on rece i ve d 1 ;wo or three distinct round s o r c h eering. All these demonstrations were, however, eclipsed by the triumph that awaited the exile in Birminglaitm, the capital of the " small masters," with whose ho nesty and independence of spirit Kossuth had shown himself so intimately acquainted by the allusions made to them in more than one of his speeches. The station, although situated in a remote and inferior part of the town, was completely surrounded by the people, who cheered vociferously as the party alighted on the platform. Kossuth was received by Mr. Geach, M.P. for the county, Messrs. Scholefield and Muntz, the two Members fur Birmingham, and Mr. Wright, Deputy Chairman of the Committee of Reception. The party proceeded at once to partake of an elegant dejeuner, which had been provided by Mr. Bacon, of the Queen's Hotel, and, after a few minutes spent in refreshment, repaired to the carriages in which they were to form the head of ono of the most imposing processions ever seen in the town of Birmingham. Kossuth, Mr. Geach, and Mr. Toulmin Smith, took their places in an open barouche drawn by four greys, the postillions in scarlet jackets, and wearing the Hungarian colours, and the remainder of the party were accommodated in carriages of a similar description. As they drove eta smart pace down the Green Lanes every moment added to the length of the cortege, until by the time it had reached Small-heath all resemblance to a procession had disappeared, and the whole of the road, the hedges, the trees, and the houses, appeared swarming with people, or densely blocked up with vehicles o f ever y d escription. All the working people of the busy hive of skilled indus try hadhearobtainedtv English a g gene ral holiday, and tur ne d out to lish welcome to the best e x p onen t give a in our days of the true principles of political and so cial freedom. It would be impossible to do justice to the appearance of the line of road from henceforward. Every hedge,wail, and tree , every window and house top was crowded with people. On every side the gay banners of the various associated trades fluttered in the air, and as the operat ives p assed o n in dense headed by their standard b earer , masses, each body we could recognise inscriptions of welcome, of sym pathy, and of sentences extracted from K o s su th' s various speeches. Bands o f music played Hun gar i an airs, and at every corner w here the den sity of the crowd occasioned a momentary stoppage a deafening dis tinguished s tranger. At this point the mass of the cheer ar ose as the people caught a glimpse of the dually c ongreg ating from eight in the morning ; a t about eleven o'clock the crowd appeared to have people had been gra dually reached it s limits, inasmuch as at that time there was about s i x m il es o f space—from the village of Yardley to the B u ll . r i n house-top, every t ree , and every lane seemed alive g—one mass of human beings ; every with life. From windows streamed flags with ap propriate devices, and from hundreds of carriages and vehicles were displayed the Hungarian colours. At eleVera 0'0194 the maram' keg" to fc/m the came forward a l one, and, in the Syrian tongue, said Thou dost not affright me, devil, with all that bulk of body—th ou art one and the same, in a little fox or in a carael ; ' and so he stoo d f irm, w i t h hi s firm s t re t c h e d out, and, a s th e b east advanced towards h i m, furious and ready to devour him, it presently fell down, with its head to the ground." On this legend Dr. El liotson remarks :—" Now Middleton would not regard this as a most ridiculous story, were he alive at pre sent, and acquainted with the power exhibited by the Duke of Marlborough on two ferocious dogs, by nicking passes with his hands before them, and by the Rev. Mr. Bartlett, over a savage bull on staring fixedly at the animal. A more striking instance of the power of mesmerism over brute never occurred." The cause of true science is under infinite obligations to Mr. Chandler fur having thus opened up a, new test of mesmerism, and the more numerous and more stringent are the tests to which it may be subjected, the better for the cause of truth and of science. Here we have mesmerism practised by one who was utterly unacquainted with tho science. St. Ewald knew. that by putting himself in certain positions, and per; 'mil ing certain actions, he produced certain effects, and we who are acquainted with mesmerism know VIII it was by the development of mesmeric power conse quent upon those poSitions, and those actions, th he produced th ose e fl et i . There can b e no d ou b t b ut that the o ld pi c t ure a faithful representation or the attitude of the S a i n t, as hande d d own b y tra dition; and that all anc i en t p i ctures of m i rac l es repress at to a certain degr ee , and in genera l w ith tolerable a you racy, the r e l a ti ve pos i tions of the wor k er an d of the patient a t th e t i me of the performance of the mit side. Now, if we find in our examination of these an cient pictures that the miracle worker is always represented in a pcsition which would develop in a great de gree mesmeric force, we may confidently assume that the effect on the patient was produced by that force, in fact, that the miracle worker was acting in accordance with, and not contrary to the laws of nature. We commend this investigatio n to the consideration of all scientific mesmerists. In, ad dition to the above most valuable contribution to mesmeric science, the present number of the Zoist records many cases of the application of mesmerism as a medical means for the cure of disease, and as a means of rendering painless those operation& of nature which are ordinarily attended with intense suffering. Among these papers we would particularly direct the attention of the public—for it is only tterough the public that the bigotted prejudices of the profession can be overcome—to a case of " Painless I'sirturition during the Mesmeric State, recorded by 31r. S. D. Saunders, of Bristol," and we strongly r: Neommend all persons, if they find, which is too often the case, that their medicalr attendant refuses to use n e esmerism in a case in which the patient or his friends as ay desire it, or to meet in consultation those who do se it, to at once dismiss such medical attendant, and send for one who is more conscientious or less :bigotted. Were this course generally adopted, patient s would not much longer be condemned to suffer unnei ;essarily years of agony because the monopolisers of tt le prac tice of medicine are too idle to study their pro fession, and to make themselves acquainted with recent dis coveries in science. N 0 V .12, 1 B tw, 11 y i b order of the procession; this occupied until after one o'clock, and every minute new arrivals thronged up in such bodies that, notwithstanding the enormous open space where the people were now assembl e d , with open fields on every aide, it became difficult to march. All the trades were now ranged in order ; indeed, such was the anxiety of the people to preserve the peace and to assist in affording every possible ac commodation, that they fell into line almost without an effort on the part of those charged with the nr rangements. At one o'clock the line of precession was complete; the seven or eight bands had been placed in convenient positions, and all the regalia of all the trades shone in the midday sun. The following order of procession was observed very nearly, with the exception that the groups of " fifty men" noticed in it were swollen to thousands :-- " Six men bearing the banners of England, Hun gary, America, Turkey, Italy, and Poland. The old standard of the Birmingham Political Union. Glass blowers and cutters with hand, group of fifty men. Brassfounders, group o f fifty men. Je we ll ers , group of fifty men. Saltfey warktnsn and band. Tailors, group of fifty men. Carriers, group of fifty men. Saddlers, harness and whip makers' group of fifty men.

Leicester brass band. Private car riages and horsemen. Fire brigades. Deputations from Midland Towns. Large banner--"Eljen Kos suth." Band. Bodyguard on horseback. First car riage and four—Kossuth, G. F. Muntz, M.P. W. SchelefieH, M.P. Charles Geach, M.P. Second car riage—M. Pulsky, Mr. U_'oulmin Smith, and M. Kossuth'; Aid-de-Camp. Carriages with committee. Body-guard on horseback. Gun -makers. Shoe makers. Joiners and carpenters. Band. Carriages, horsemen, &c. The neighbouring towns, Coventry, Wolverhamp ton, and throughout the district far away into the Potteries, had all poured forth their thousands, and these were placed in proper order, most of them dis playing handsome banners, especially those from Co ventry, which were extremely beautiful in design, with appropriate mottoes. At a quarter to two o'clock the carriage and four containing Kossuth hove in sight. This was the signal for one burst of cheering. Rising in his car riage (in which also Messrs. Muntz, M.P., Schole field, M.P., and Geach, M.P., were sitting), he bowed to the assembled thousands, whose shouts rent the air for many minutes. The carriage having taken its place in the line, was immediately surrounded by a body-guard of one hundred and fifty gentlemen on horseback, and followed by many carriages and four, hundreds of other carriages, ;private and public, and vehicles of every description. In this state Kossuth entered Birmingham. To describe his progress would be to describe one con tinued ovation ; every housetop and every window every manufactory and every building where human beings could place the sole of their foot, their clung the welcomers to the hero of Hungary. A little before Kossuth entered the principal part of the town his carriage was stopped and the entire procession marched past him, that all might gain a sight of him. All the exertions of his body guard were necessary to restrain the enthusiasm of the people. The procession neces sarily moved slowly, and was many times stopped in consequence of the enormous pressure on every side ; as it approached the Bull-ring the mass of people was such that it was fearful to look upon ; it was one vast sea of human heads as far as the eye could reach ; every nook, every gullet, every alley, and every lane— every window, and every parapet presented their hun dreds of the population. From the corner of the Coven try-road to the Bull-ring occupied nearly one hour, so slow was the progress made. As the cortege turned out New-street the effect was very fine ; there were impromptu scaffolding, bearing hundreds of people; omnibuses at anchor crowded even to the tyre of the wheels, and from Deritend to the Town-hall there was scarcely a window without a banner, and from the hands of thousands of ladies streamed rib boas of the Hungarian tricolour. From the windows of the Journal newspaper a splendid banner fluttered, and from many houses in the neighbourhood rockets were cast in abundance. In the Bull-ring the first copy of the Times was burnt, and at intervals this ceremony was repeated until the procession terminated at the Five Ways. Many copies of the paper, with the words " Lying Times" in large characters upon them, were elevated on poles, and swung to and fro over the heads of the crowd amid vollies of derisive cheers and groaning. The Town-hall, the theatre, and all the public build ings along the line were made use of in some way or other to serve the purpose of spectators. The bells of the various churches rung cheerful peals, but these were almost drowned by the deafening cheers of the populace. One hundred Frenchmen who had formed a band marched near to Kossuth's carriage, which wa s pre ceded by a spl en did b anner, with the words "Eljcn Kossuth," emblazoned upon it. There were thou sands of other banners with appropriate mottos and devices upon them, which the limited time at our disposal does not enable us to do more than thus briefly refer to. So with the triumphal arches which Kossuth passed on his route; the enthusiastic dis plays at the various manufactories ; the multitudinous warm greetings he received from the enormous mass of people who hailed him on every side, we pass them over—to be imagined they mus t havebeen seen—no description would convey any idea of the fact. Kos suth himself seemed almost amazed, and Mr. Munts, used to large meetings in the days of the Political Union, appeared lost in astonishment at the over whelming multitude. It was computed by persons used to estimate large masses that there could not have been less than half a million of persons present. When it is consi dered that the population of Birmingham alone is a quarter of a million, the great majority of whom poured out on the great occasion, and that the entire district far and near sent their quotas, it will be at once seen that this is by no means an exaggerated estimate. Even places so distant as Sheffield contri buted their thousands. At four o'clock in the afternoon the procession reached the Five Ways. Perfect orderliness prevailed without a single policeman or soldier ; without the presence of any person in authority to preserve order, this crowd swayed to and fro, bearing every amount of pressure with patience, and apparently absorbed in the spirit and determination to do honour to the illus trious exile. Immediately before the signal was given for the departure to the residence of Mr. Geach, that gen tleman briefly addressed the crowd, stating that Kossuth felt deeply grateful for the reception he had experienced, so far beyond anything he could have anticipated, and only regretted that the state of his chest, and the engagements he was under to address public meetings to-morrow and the day following, preventing his thanking them as he could wish himself. Mr. Geach concluded his ob servations by expressing a hope that he might, in the name of the assembled thousands, give to Kossuth a true and hearty welcome to Birmingham. It is needless to add that the welcome was echoed most vociferously by the crowd, and as the word passed backwards to the more distant masses of the people, it was sent back again and again in vollies of cheering which continued as long as the cavalcade re mained in sight, most of the carriages following Kossuth's carriage up to The Dales, Mr. Geaoh's residence. Vast numbers of the people broke up into parties, and followed the line of carriages to Mr. Geach's entrance lodge. There, as soon as Kossuth had en tered the house, the mounted body-guard formed in a semi-circle round the entrance-gate. Mr. G. Daw son appeared and stated that he was commissioned by Kossuth to return his most heartfelt thanks to the people, for the manner in which they had re received him. This evening a select party is invited to meet Kos suth at dinner at Mr. Geach's, and to-morrow morn ing he proceeds to Manchester. At the luncheon at the Queen's Hotel, Messrs.

The interest in Kossuth'a visit continues unabated, and it would be vain to attempt to depict the anxiety prevailing to secure tickets of admission to the Free Trade Hall. The question of an address to him was mooted in the quarterly meeting of the Town Council this day, and the proceedings lasted from half-past ten A.M. to four P.M. The opposition were strangely ex cited, and such a meeting has never been held before. In th© absence of a good number of supporters of the motion, who had gone out t o di ne, however, the council was counted, and there being only 21 of the 64 members of the body present, it was declared short of a quorum. Mr. T. L. Williams, a Tory, who moved that the house be counted, ran out without his hat, to reduce the numbers sufficiently ; and Mr. Alderman Bancroft took a similar course.

We have received files of Jamaica papers to the 14th of October inclusive. We extract the following from the Jamaica Des patch of that date : "It is now considerably more than a year since, in alluding to the contemplated change in the route of the Royal Mail Steam Company's vessels, wnventured to predict from it a rapid, and in the end, total diversion of the foreign trade from this ill-fated island. Those pre dictions have, there is every reason to believe, been too literally verified. The large trade formerly carried on between this island and the Spanish main is being ra pidly transferred to St. Thomas, whilst that heretofore existing between this island and Cuba has ceased alto gether. At this moment there is no mail communica tion between Jamaica and those foreign ports which until lately have been largely and beneficially connected with our trade, save by the singularly indirect course of St. Thomas—that is to say, the trader in Carthagena who desires to order an assortment of British goods from Kingston is under the necessity of sending his letter all the way round by St. Thomas, at which island he can supply himself with all ho requires. The conse quences of such a system are obvious. Jamaica has lost the trade she has hitherto carried on with Cuba, Cartha gene, and Santa Martha; and St. Thomas has acquired it—a British colony and British merchants have been deprived of the honest gains of a fair and legitimate com merce with foreign countries, and those gains have been transferred to a Danish settlement and a Danish people— British manufactures, which found an extensive foreign market through Jamaica, are supplanted by French and German manufactures through St. Thomas; and the British shipping that used to be engaged in the carriage of British goods to Jamaica for the Spanish market, is replaced by foreign shipping performing a vicarious duty for the same market, by way of St. Thomas. This, is, in plain truth, the state of affairs produced by the tho roughly selfish system last adopted by the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company. A more fatal attack on British commerce could scarcely have been made; but although warned of the consequences, directors, Government, and Admiralty have been deaf to all remonstrance. As for the directors, one scarcely wonders at their obduracy, since it has been well understood that certain private in terests connected with St. Thomas oppose an effective barrier against the successful advocacy of any mere national interest. Gain, we are told, has no country ; and if directors and leading shareholders ,find their ac count to lie in concentrating trade at St. Thomas, Ja maisa mill plead in vain to their nationality for a resto ration of prosperity to her failing commerce. The avowed excuse for the tin-English features of the new scheme is founded on an assumed necessity of competing with the AmeriA steamers at Chagres for passengers and freights of specie. We have shown a dozen times that this excuse is purely delusive. Had the scheme we pro posed upwards of twelve months ago been carried out, of making Antigua the first point of contact for the dis tribution of the Windward Island mails, and Jamaica the principal depot on the main line—there would not have been a loss of six hours, as compared with the route by way of St. Thomas ' - and that six ho urs wou ld have been amply ma d e good by tho gain derivable from the increased impulse which would have been given to trade between Jamaica and the Spanish Main, and the ports on the Pacific. But the truth is, that thorn were private interests as between the directors and St.Titomas which overruled any claims that a British route could advance, and therefore, having hood-winked th e Admi ralty into complia nce with their schemes, the directors snapped their fingers at Jamaica and her remonstrances; and we have every reason to believe that, pernicious and injurious as are the present regulations to the trade not only of Jamaica, but of Great Britain herself, the scheme will be determinedly adhered to, and that the large steamers now under construction, and almost ready to be placed on the route, will be dispatched by way of St. Thomas direct to Chagres, increasing still further the disabilities under which the now system has placed Jamaica. " It is not easy to prescribe a course by which the calamity now in progress may be averted ; but, unsuc cessful as have been our efforts hitherto, we think it ought not to be submitted to, without still further a c ti ve remonstrance. There have been unfortunate jealousies between agricultural and commercial interests that have, probably, in some respects been injurious to both. The inhabitants of Jamaica, however, cannot learn too soon that all interests are not so interwoven that none can be damaged without sensible injury to the others. It behoves all, therefore, to take part in a question, no less important than ono which threatens with immediate ex tinction ono of the moat important branches of our commerce. The Council and the Assembly have already protested against the alteration contemplated by the company, but that was in anticipation only of the inju ries that have since been realised. Why not again me morialise the Government, now that all the damage that was predicated from the scheme has been made appa rent ? There can be no reason why the Council and Assembly should not now join in a memorial to Govern ment on a question so important as this, and we do hope that some member will be found in the House pre pared to propose and support such a proposition at an early period after the meeting of the session." (From the Jamaica Despatch of Oct. 9.) " The carriage of his Excellency the Governor, lately distrained for the amount of income-tax assessed against him by the vestry of St. Catherine, has, it seems, been actually brought to the hammer, and sold by auction to the highest and best bidder for a paltry sum, falling short by 151. of the amount of the tax, and, we may presume, by many times that aura of its actual value. His Excellency, it would appear, has preferred to allow the law to take its course, instead of resorting to the usual course of a replevin, in order to try the legality of the assessment which he disputes. What step his Ex cellency will take, now that matters have proceeded to this extremity, we aro not aware, but it is probable the affair will become a subject of representation to the Co lonial-office, and it is not unlikely that it may yet be the subject of reference to the Legislature. It will be time enough to consider this circumstance when the occasion arises, meanwhile we have to deal with the matter itself. " Whilst we deeply regret this occurrence, as one likely, we fear, to recoil at some future day on the colony itself, it is impossible not to see in it irrefregablo evidence of the almost universal unpopularity of the in dividual whom not ever) exalted rank and station could shield from an indignity which would only be resorted to in the ease of a private person with pain and regret.
