In the House of Lords last night, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, in moving for the papers relating to the trial of JOTEE PERSHAIID, St Agra, went into a lengthened statement of the services which JOTEE PERSHAIID had rendered, and complained of the unfair treatment which he had suffered from the Indian Go vernment. _ - ----- Lord BROUGHTON defended the conduct of the Indian authorities, and consented to produce the papers. The Registration of Assurances Bill was read a third tune and passed. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve, when the Prevention of Offences Bill wits read a third time and passed. On the motion for the third reading of the Smithfield Market Removal Bill, Mr. STANFORD protested against the measure. Mr. HUME moved that it be read a third time that day six months. On a division, there appeared— For the third reading 81 Against it... ... ... 32 Majority in favour of the Bill —49 The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Sir GEORGE GREY moved the second reading of the Church Building Acts Amendment Bill. Mr. HUME complained of the manner in which it was attempted to hurry the Bill through the House. He moved that it be read a second time that day six months. Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the amendment. Sir B. HALL said the Bill was intended to increase the patronage of the Bishop of LONDON. Mr. PLUMPTRE would support the second reading, but did not approve of the clause giving the measure a retrospective operation. Sir K. Nous supported the Bill, and defended the Bishop of LONDON. After some further discussion the debate was adjourned to Friday, and the House adjourned until Six &clock. In the evening sitting, Mr. DISRAELI gave notice that on Monday next be would move resolutions to the following effect, as an amendment to the second Bill upon the paper for that night:—" That, according to the estimate of the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, there will be a surplus of revenue over expenditure amounting to about 2,000,0001.; that in this revenue is included 5,000,0001. sterling, de rivable from the property and income tax, respecting which an inquiry is now going on before a Committee which may lead to important modifications of that tax; and that in this provisional arrangement it appears to the House more consistent, with a due regard to public credit and the exigencies of the public service, not to make any material sacrifice of income in effecting such changes as might otherwise be deemed advisable in other branohes of taxation." Mr. M. Ginso.i moved for a Select Committee to in quire into the working of the system of warehousing foreign goods in bond in Manchester, as it affects im porters, dealers, and consumf rs of; goods liable to Cus tom,' duty, residing in Manchester and the neighbour ing towns . ; also, as to its cflicts on the Customs revenue, and to report to the House us to the expediency or otherwise of pkcing Manchester on an equal footing with all bonded towns in the United Kingdom. The Hon. Gentleman said that toe CHANCELLOR of the Ex CHEQUER had declared his intention to deprive Man chstt of the privilege of bonding unless the whole of the exp- uses were defrayed by the town, whereas in every other bonded port in the kingdom they were &Aral ed by the Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the ' motion. No other conditions hid been imposed on Manchester than those which were imposed on every inland !own in the kingdom. Mr. BRIGHT supported the motion. Mr. CARDWELL contended that Manchester should not repudiate in,/ only condition upon which the privi ege of bonding had been extended to it—a condition equally enforced against every inland town in England which claimed a similar privilege. After some observations from Mr. HUME, Mr. T. EGERTON, Mr. LABoUCHERE, Mr. BROTHERTON ' Mr. Z. , PoONER, Mr. HEYWOOD, Mr. KERSHAW, and Lord GALWAY, The House divided, and the numbers were— For the motion Against it ... ... 65 Majority —l5 Mr. FREWEN then moved the following resolution: — "That it is desirable to extend the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court to the whole of each county on the Home Circuit." Should the resolution ne carried, he did not propose that it should be acted upon this session. Sir G. GREY considered it undesirable to pledge the House on the subject, and Mr. FREWEN consented to the motion being negatived without a division. Mr. H. HERBERT moved the following resolution:— " That this House will, on a future day, resolve itself into a Committee, to consider of an Address to her MA JESTY, praying that she will be graciously pleased to ex tend the same measure of relief to the depositors in the late Rochdale, Scarborough, Tralee, and Killarney Savings Banks as has been already extended to the de positors in tie late Cuffe-street, Dublin, Savings Bank." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not admit the principle that all losses incurred by the failure of savings banks must be borne by the revenue, and should therefore oppose the motion. Mr. REYNOLDS was so fully convinced of the moral liability of the Government, that it was his intention to ask for the remaining ten shillings in the pound, and for the interest also, at th© rate of five per cent.; so that the sooner the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER paid the money the better for the public purse. Mr. BRIOHT supported the motion. Mr. HuME also supported the motion. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. SLANEY, Colonel THOMPSON said he believed that in equity these depositors had an indefeasible right upon the public puree. Mr. J. A. SMITH repudiated the assertion that the public had rendered itself responsible, now or heretofore, fur the savings' banks defalcations. Colonel DUNNE supported the motion. The House divided, when there appeared— Fur the resolution ... 56 Against it ... ... 63 Majority ... Mr. URQUHART moved a resolution recommending the re - appointment of the Select Committee on tAplomatic salaries. Atter some conversation, on the motion of Mr. BRO. 'MERTON the division was taken on the question that the House do now adjourn. There appeared for toe motion, 64; against it, 32. The House accordingly adjourned at a Quarter•past Twelve. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has for the time being successfully resisted the just and equitable demand put forward by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Manchester, on behalf of the important constituency which he so ably represents. By a majority of fif►_een he has rjected the inquiry so anxiously sought for, the effect of which must have been to establish the propriety of the claim. The Right Hon. Baronet should not, however, in dulge in any premature exultation, or suppose that Lhe division of list night can have any per manent operation. The men of Manchester are not to be discouraged by a single failure. They have already proved that they can return to the con test with redoubled vigour, and that, in a good cause, nothing can check their' earnest determination to ac complish the duty they have undertaken. They had, after a contest of seven years' duration, fighting the battle of the working classes of the United Kingdom, indeed v we might say of the industrious population of t a h e ou en g t h ire world, overthrown monster monopoly, whose power was only exceeded by its iniquity. In vain were the struggles of the Protectionists, al- E l u ie p oi p i o c r l t tn e ho d by a powerful and well organized po p t eofarrtawthyteiei withstand rLegislature,igy lungs out f a d n o d o b rs y ; tl t i h e e ;'h w ol e e re st u re n n a g b t l h e pressure of public opinion, tam expressed.

And it is against p ersons who l ave given such tine quivocal proofs of their prow ess that Sir CR AMLES ' h of the Treasury obedient pick that follow the las Wood expects to prevail, because, supported by the w atching for ani who, while whipper-in, fall eagerly from the the crumbs of patronag e that advance the sole object of table, are willi n g to vote that black is white, if they can thereby a dvance of their lives, their own private and personal interest, and gain the smiles of a Cabinet Minister. He has gained a temporary victory. Let Sir CHARLEs WOOD and his colleagues (and it is to them chiefly that we address ourselves, for they have not as yet shown themselves to be irreclaimable, or beyond the reach of argument) beware. They may be well assured that one such vintorY; as that of lest night, would be far more injurious to their future prospects than the most ignominious and decisive defeats. It is impossible to speak too highly of the clear and lucid statement of Mr. MILNER GIBSON—a statement which almost rendered further inquiry unnece , surv, for it must have brought conviction to every dis interested and unprejudiced mind, and shown the pro priety of the point at issue being promptly and grace • fully conceded. The simple question to be answered was this, why should Manchester be placed in a dif ferent position from every other district in the United Kingdom ? Why should it alone be com pelled, not only to pay the enormous duties levied on the various articles brought into consumption in the populous and influential localities by which it is sur rounded, but also the expense of collecting those duties, of the entire staff of Custom-house officers, which the Board may be pleased to consider necessary ? It is true that the amount is not very large,,the total ex pense being only 2,5031. 6s. 2d., for which 319,3351. 19s. 2d. was brought into the Exchequer; or, in other words, the cost being only 164. 9d. per cent., while the average cost throughout the entire kingdom averages 51. 19s. 6d., and in some of the favoured districts that are still maintained, several hundred per cent. For instance, at Guernsey eleven persons were engaged at an expenseof 8201.195. 6d. per annum, the total amount of gross revenue received during the year 1849 being 2/. Sc. 6d., or if there had been a fair division of labour, the work of each individual being the receipt of 4s. Ip. The case of Jersey was not quite so bad, for there only ten officers were employed at an expense . of 8181. ss. Bd., while they actually received 51. 184. 11d. There are other cases in England, Wales, and Scotland, which although not quite as glaring, are yet sufficiently bad. We select the following from a return ordered by the House of Commons in March last, on the motion of Mr. ARCHIBALD ['ASTIR : (Number of i Persons Employed.) Gross Revenue received. £ s. d. 264 18 7 937 14 4 83 13 8 595 8 1 236 1 7 239 18 11 541 1 0 292 2 5 90 10 3 419 7 3 107 13 7 47 1 5: calculated to remove a considerab7e portion of the danger arising out of the indiscriminate emploz mgt of the intramural system of interment. Yet notwith standing this specious apearance of merit on the part of the Bill relating to burials around the metropolis, it may not possibly be forgotten by our readers that we proclaimed its insufficiency as a means of securing any appreciable improvement. Ample op portunities have since then been afforded through which the community might test the real value or worthlessness of this boasted innovation. Have our assertions in its regard been verified, we ask, or otherwise ? We leave the records of the capital in reference to its mortality or to its interments to re spond. What the answer is we need not by any means specify. It is visible on the very surface of our metropolitan arrangements. It is perceptible on the weekly calvilations printed in the periodical bills of mortality. Recognizing this at a glance, it becomes in cumbent on the Parliament to interpose in behalf of the citizens of London and Westminster, and by so doing to relieve itself from the odium of its miserable and abortive efort at improvement. What is re quired is easily to be ascertained. Among other things it is by na means wanted to compensate the clergy, as the Legislature would really seem to ima gine. Compensate them, forsooth ! The notion is altogether derogatory to the character of the religion of which they profess to be the priesthood— a religion that does not instruct its promoters to draw their revenues from the death of the faithful, or from the calamities of the multitude. It would really appear from the wording of the mea sure referred to as if the Parliament regarded the clergymen of the Church of England as so many ghouls fattening upon the corpses of their fellow creatures, and therefore requiring some compensation when deprived cf this loathsome and ghastly nutri ment. Away with such hideous and detestable no tions as these, they are injurious to the age in which we live, and derogatory to the divine and celestial principles of Christianity.

With the "penny-wise-and pound- foolish policy," for which be has ever,been dis tinguished, be speaks of depriving Manchester of the boon conceded in ] 844,unless the to wn council continue permanently to defray the expenses which they un dertook during the pendency of the experiment, and which they are unwilling to continue, now that the experiment has been attended with such unqualified success, a success beyond the most sanguine anticipa tions of its warmest advocates. Manchester is now the sixth bonding place in Eng land as to the amount of revenue, and in no single place is it collected at less than double the expense per cent. charged at Manchester, and if the revenue should con tinue to increase in a similar ratio to that of the last few years it will speedily go beyond Hull and Newcastle, which it already closely ap proaches. Sir CHARLES WOOD, however, speaks of taking away its privilege, while there are no less than 31 places in which the revenue collected is less than 5,0001., and 12 more where it exceeds 5,0001., but is less than 10,0001. And yet these places are not to be interfered with, while Manchester, which returns more than the whole 43 taken together, is to be deprived of its staff, and its merchants and traders sent to other districts to select the duty-paying articles for the consump tion of the myriads of industrious persons by which it is surrounded. If that unwise, that insane course were pursued, or if as Sir CHARLES WOOD suggested, the corporation imposed higher rates, the consump tion would be materially diminished through the higher prices, and the revenue itself would suffer to many times the amount of the paltry sum in dis pute. Sir CHARLES WOOD is, however, will ing to run any risk, to incur any degree of odium and unpopularity, rather than make any concession. On his head and on those of his col leagues be the result. The Manchester men, how ever, need not despair ; their cause is based on equity and justice, and must eventually prove suc cessful. Magna est veritas et prevalebit. Absolutely nothing whatever has yet been accom plished by our sanitary reformers in the way of sub stituting extramural for intramural interment. Loudly as they have vaunted the importance of this question, long as they have agitated, in the hope of bringing about the solution of this difficulty, they have hitherto failed altogether in dissipating one par ticle of the evil complained of by themselves, and recognised by the vast majority of the community. Burials are still taking place perpetually in the midst of our most crowded thoroughfares, in the verb heart of the most densely populated localities. This, moreover, in the heat of the summer quarter, and when the metropolis has had the number of its inhabitants increased by so many thousands, in consequence of an influx of foreign and provincial visitors to the Exhibition ! Considering the extraordinary magnitude of the danger referred to, remembering also the reality of the perils encountered by the continuance of this detestable system of interments, seeing that the city graveyards are notoriously known to be the menu factories of disease, and the inevitable means of multiplying the amount of the general mor tality, it is absolutely inexOcable to witness the apathy displayed upon the matter, not only by the pretended advocates of sanitary improvement, but, practically speaking, likewise, by both Houses of the Imperial Legislature. Until the dead are entombed after a mariner very different, indeed, in its character, it will be frivolous to dream of effecting any material changes for the better in the social condition of the living. Gwydyr House and its Commissioners must perforce remain wholly useless as an administrative institution until such time as the deemed portion of the multitude are conveyed to their last rest ing place in some conveniently situated cemeteries beyond the suburbs of London and of Westminster. Better ventilation in the arrange silents of our domestic architecture, purer water in the management of metropolitan irrigation, more copious and efficient drainage in the subterranean works of the capital of England,—all will be idle and preposte rous, as a means of improving the condition of the masses, if the decaying bodies of the departed are still allowed to remain in the midst of the crowded quarters of this great city, contaminating the atmos phere by their exhalations, and disseminating the seeds of the most fatal and destructive maladies. From the indifference hitherto displayed by the nation upon this matter, it would almost appear as if the generality were unacquainted with the simplest facts connected with their corporeal organization ; such, for example, as the necessity of a pure air fa the oxygination of the blood, and this not only for the support of vitality through the lungs, but through the whole pores of the skin in like manner. Without this purity of the atmosphere it will be preposterous to expect that human beings can support life merely by the aid of the nutrition derived from provision, more especially if water—one of the first necessaries of existence—is as villanously polluted even as the atmosphere. Aware, as the majority of the population must necessarily be of these particulars, they would nevertheless appear to neglect the truths forced upon them by their recognition, preferring the continuance of a vicious and execrable system rather tha n t h e trouble of another, p re f erable in its tendency and its substitution requisite for the general character. Something must be adventured l b y rd upon the sincere well wirs the community i f they at d o aw n y c o t e uh , l a e n a and without relievewn threatens t t h o o t bh u ee t any further procrastinatio n , me tropolis of an evil which every more and wore lamentably pernici ous.

(Sittinp at Niel Priui at Wesiminister, bt-fore the LORD CHIEF 'JUSTICE , ind a Common Jury.) JOHNSTON v. CLARK. This was an actioa, W recover the bum of 193/. due on two Vllli of exchange. _ _ Mr. Noggins, Q C., and Mr. Willes appeared for the plumta, and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. J ()yea conducted the defence. It appeared that the plaintiff, Mr. Johnston, was the bolder of two overdue bills of exchange, one for 871. 103., accepted by the defendant Clark, and endorsed by him to :he plaintiff, and the other fur 70L, drawn by the de fendant on a gentleman named eeullivan, and endorsed by the defendant to the plaintiff. He brought an action to recover the amount of these bills ageinat the defen dant, who pleaded a variety of pleas. Issue was joined, the record was made up, and the trial fixed for the 19th day of June, 1848 ; but shortly before the trial the parties entered into an agree ment for the settlement of the action. The defendant w,ts the holder of a bill of a person named Claneey, an effieer in the Huseatee fur 3001., which fell due on the 30th of August, 1848, and at the suggestion of the de fendant, the plaintiff agreed to take this bill, and out of the proceeds to pay himself for the amount of the two bills, together with interest and costs, and to return the balance to the defendant. In the event of the bill not being paid by November, the defendant undertook to settle the debt with costs. These terms were con sidered !satisfactory by the plaintiff, and the record was accordingly withdrawn. The bill was dishonoured on being presented to Clansey, and the defendant neglected to fulfil his promise. An appli cation was subsequently made to a judge at chambers to enter up judgment against the defendant, but his Lordship refused to do so, on the ground that in the agreement the parties consented to a final settle ment of the action. The consequence was that the plaintiff had to pay all the costs which had been incurred, in addition to the delay, expense, and risk of bringidg a fresh action. The defence was that Clansey was absent in India with his regiment at the time the bill became due, and would have honoured it had it been presented to him in the prop , :r way. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. _ _ _ (THIS DAY.) _ _ At eleven o'clock 19,608 persona had passed through the doors of the Cr) Atli, Palace, and at that hour an im mense stream was continually pouring in from all quar ters. Most of the visitors to-day were country people, and, as if to-day were a special holiday, we noticed a greater number of soldiers, sailors, and policemen among the visitors than on any previous occasion. THE ROYAL CHILDREN TO BE TAUGHT GAELIC.— The InverneFs Courier says that a correspondent who dates from the Temple, states that her Majesty and Prince Albert have commissioned a gentleman from the north to engage the services of a Gaelic teacher for the Royal Family. "There is every chance," he says, "of an intimate friend of mine getting the appointment." This is certainly a compliment to the ancient knguage of the Gael.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with English Wheat, mostly in good condition. All kinds commanded a steady sale, and a clearance was speedily effected at prices fully equal to those obtained on Mon day. Several contracts were entered into for shipment from the east coast, at extreme currencies; whilst about 20,000 quarters of Wheat afi.)at from the westward were disposed of. The show of Foreign Wheat was season. ably good; most descriptions moved off steadily at the late improvement in value. Barley—the supply of which exceeded 7,000 quarters, wholly foreign—moved off slowly, at last week's prices. Very little was doing in Malt; but no change took place in the quotations. Oats moved off slowly, at Monuay's depression in the currencies. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, as last advised. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. 1 Barley. I Malt. Qrs. I Qrs. 710 14,190 I 7.730 1.

The Colonial Markets have been very steady for Sugar, and Coffee has been firmer. Rice is held for full prices, but with less inclination to buy. The following is an extract from " Instructions to Shipping Masters," issued by the Lords of the Commit tee of Privy Council for Trade, dated March 8, 1851 : " Reduction of fees on short voyages—For the pur pose of reducing the fees payable by masters and owners of ships which make short and frequent voyages, and the deductions to be made from the wages of crews on account of such voyages, the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have been pleased to direct that the fees payable upon the engagement and dis charge of crews, under Schedule B of the Mercantile Marine Act, shall not be paid more than twice in one year, in respect of the same ship ; so that, after making the ordinary payments on two voyages, any further engagement or discharge of the crew may be effected without further payment. The year for the above purpose is to be taken as com mencing on the let January, and ending on the 31st December. The above arrangement will of course have the effect of preventing any deductio❑ being made from the wages of crews, either for entries or discharges, on more than two voyages in the same ship in one year. "Regulation as to fines—lu places in which Forms U and H aro not totally suspended, the shipping master should not in future issue those forms unless they are asked for; and in every case in which they are asked for should make both master and crew understand that they are entirely optional, and that either some, or all, or none of the regulations need be adopted, as the case may require; and a copy of A or B, as the case may require, should in all cases be offered to the master, to he made accessible to the crew, instead of Form U; and, unless tkat form be preferred, should be furnished instead of that form. In the home trade especially, care should be taken to explain that these regulations need not be adopted, and that such only (if a ly) should be taken as may be suited to the particular case."

The extent to which fanaticism and delusions of every possible kind succeed in America is perfectly astonishing. Nothing appears too gross foe th e credulity of the free and enlightened republi cans. The Rochester ra pp ers or knockers mentioned in the following account were supposed to ha v e communications with the invisible world, and thous the imposture has been finally exposed the American public, public, like the Bourbons, appear never to gain "Peeri ence in such matters, and they will be as readily taken in by the next hoax which is offered to their credulity. The following statement is from a female who is a con nexion of the Fox rappers, and assisted as a She is known to be very trustworthy and respectable, anti her deposition settles the whole question. The cliques of humbuggers is exposed, and the folly of the followers of Greely is us well established as those of the believers in Joanna Southcote:— DEPOSITION OF MRS. NORMAN CULVER. TAx EN ARCADIA, N.Y., APRIL 17, 1851. neediura; I am, by marriage, a connexion of the Fox g their brother married my husband's sister. The girl: have been a great deal at my house, and for about b ut years I was a very sincere believer in the raPPing e ; • les some things which I saw when I was visiting the g 1 at Rochester made me suspect that they were deceiving; I resolved to satisfy myself in some way; and some tu n e afterwards made a proposition to Catherine to assist A i T rls• her in producing the manifestations. I had a cool s visiting me from Michigan, who was going to consult the spirits, and I told Catherine that it they intended to go to Detroit it would be a great thing for them to con vince him. I also t o ld h er that if I c ould do anything to help her, I would do it cheerfully; that I should pro bably be able to answer all the questions he would ask, and I would do it if she would show me how to make the raps. She said that, as Margaretta was absent, she wanted somebody to help her, amid that if I would be come a medium she would explain it all to me. She,. said that when my cous i n c onsulted the spirits, I must sit next to her, and touch her arm when the right letter was called. I did so, and was able to answer nearly the questions correctly. After I had helped her in this way a few times, she revealed to me the secret. The raps are produced with the toes. All the toes are used. Atter nearly a week's practice, with Catherine showing me how, I could produce them perfectly myself. A t first it was very bard work to do it. Catherine told hoe to warm my feet, or put them in warm water, and it would the a be easier work to rap; she said that she had sem( tunes to warm her feet three or four times in the cow se of an evening. I found that heating may f eet did enable me t o rap a great deal easier. I have some times produced a hundred and fifry raps in succession. I can rap with all my toes on both feet; it is most dif ficult .to rap with the great toe. Catherine told me how to mansge to answer the questions. She said it was generally easy enough to answer right if the one we e asked the questions called the alphabet. She said the reason why they asked people to write down several names on paper, and then point to them till the spirit rapped at the right one, was to give them a chance to watch the countenance and motions of the person, and that in that way they could nearly always guess right. She also explained how they held down and moved tables. (Mrs. Culver gave us some illustrations of the tricks.) She told me that all I should have to do to make the raps heard on the table would be to put mY foot against the bottom of the table when I rapped, and that when I wished to make the raps sound distant on the wall, I must make them louder, and direct my own eyes earnestly to the spot where I wished them to be heard. She said if I could put my feet against the bot tom of the door, the raps wo u ld be heard ea the top o f the door. Catherine told me that when the committee held their ankles in Rochester, the Dutch servant girl rapped with her knuckles, under the floor, from the cel lar. The girl was instructed to rap whenever she heard their voices calling the spirits. Catherine also showed me how they'made the sounds of sawing and planing boards. (The whole trick was explained to us.) When I was at Rochester last January, Margaretta told Me that when people insisted on seeing her feet and toes, she could produce a few raps with her knee and ankle. Elizabeth Fish (Mrs. Fish's daughter), who now lives with her father, was the first one who produced these raps. She accidentally discovered the way to make them by playing with her toes against the foot-board while in bed. Catherine told me that the reason why Elizabeth went away west to live with her father, was because she was too conscientious to become a medium. The whole secret was revealed to me, with the understanding that I should practise the medium when the girls were away. Catherine said that whenever I prac tised I had better,have my little girl at the table with me, and make folks believe that she was the medium, for she said they would not suspect so young a child of any trick. After I had obtained the whole secret, I plainly told Catherine that my only object was to find out how these tricks were done, and that I should never go any farther in this imposition. She was very much frightened, and said she believed that I meant to tell of it, and expose them; and if I did, she would swear it was a lie. She was so nervous and excited that I had to sleep with her that night. When she was in structing me how to be a medium, she told me how fright ned they used to get in New York for fear acme one should de ect them, and gave me the w hole history of all the tricks they played upon the people there. She said that once Margaretta spoke alcud, and the whole perty believed it was a spirit. MRs. NORMAN CULVER. We hereby certify that Mrs. Culver is one of the most reputable and intelligent ladies in the town of Arcadia. We were present when she made the disclosures con tained in the above paper; we had heard the same from her before, and we cheerfully bear testimony that there o tenet be the slightest doubt of the truth of the whole statement. C. G. POMEROY, M.D. REY. D. S. CHASE. I have in my possession other depositions from persons residing in Rochester, who have been confederates of the Fox girls in the rapping business, which, in due time and form, will be made public. The reign of these im postors is nearly at en end, end the few editors who have been the means of deceiving the public in relation to their real charecter, will, I trust, have their reward in the deep indignation and scorn of those whose credulity has been abused. 11.
