A young gentleman, known as Alexis the Somnambu list, has just arrived from Paris under the care of M. MaScellet, and was exhibited on Monday, for the first time (we believe) in London, at the residence of .Dr. El liotson. Alexis has for some period excited much inte rest in Paris by - the Wonderful powers of clairvoyance which he manifests whilst in a state of magnetic sleep: Through the kindness of Dr. Elliotson, a large number of ladies and scientific and distinguished persons had an opportunity on Monday of witnessing M. Marcellet's experiments. It is but just to Dr. Elliotson to observe, that, previously to the commencement of the experiment; he stated that he did not hold himself at all resoonsible for what M. Marcellet had advanced. Knowing M. Mar cellet to be a gentleman of undoubted respectability, Dr. Elliotson permitted him to hold his first levee in Conduit; street, taking no part whatever in the proceedings. Without admitting that we have become believers in the possibility of producing such a condition as that known by the name of " clairvoyance," we must nevertheless honestly confess that we h ave been much staggered by, what we saw after M. Marcellet had thrown his patient into the magnetic state, and exhibited the tetanic spasm, or ricidity of the muscles of the arms and legs, which usually accompanies this condition of the nervous system. Preparatory to the phenomena of clairvo)ance being shewn, the patient's eyes were bandaged. We pledge ourselves that we did this effectually. To see, in the or dinary sense of the'wdrd, a ray of light was physically im - pdssible. Two large pieces of wool were placed over each eye, and above this were bound* with great care two li nen hanelkerchiefs folded several times. Thus blindfolded he was placed at a table and commenced playing &ark" with a strange gentleman in the room. It was, indeed, won derful to see with what accuracy he played, not only knowing every suit he had in his own hands, but by a species of divination being able to detect the condition of his opponent's hand. Several persons played with him, and amongst others Dr. Jerden, who, however, was for tunate enough to beat the somnambulist. To exhibit the man's extraordinary powers, a large hook of plates, nearly two inches in thickness, was placed between Alexis and his opponent, and, notwithstanding this physical impe diment, the somnambulist was able to tell the person with whom he was playing the cards he held in his hand. It may be said there was collusion. We know such was not the case. Alexis then had a letter placed in his hands by Colonel Gurwood, with the view of ascertaining whether he could make out the name of the party who had written the letter. It appears that Col. Gurwood had placed himself in communication with Alexis, some time back, in Paris, in order to discover whether he had it in his power to give him any hint by which to enable him to discover the residence of a French soldier, whose life Colonel Gurwood had saved during the siege of - Badajoz. Alexis during the magnetic state gave Colonel Gurwood some valuable in formation on the subject of his inquiry, and acting upon this, he was fortunate enough to find not only the name of the person, but his place of abode. Colonel Gurwood wrote to the soldier,' and the letter which he placed folded in Alexis' hands was the answer which he had received. Alexis, after a little examination, wrote down the person's name, and told Col. G urwood the purport of the letter which he held in his hand. Ile made one mistake in the final letter of the person's name, but this did not in the slightest degree detract from his extraordinary penetration. Another gen tleman, who had not seen Alexis previously, (Colonel Gar dener, we believe.) asked the somnambulist to describe his residence. This he did with great accuracy, telling him the number of pictures he had in his drawine-room, their peculiar • position, and the subject of the pictures. Watches were then placed in his hand, and, by merely feeling on the back of the case for a few minutes he pointed out, with one exception, the exact position of the hour and minute hands. A• large book of plates was subse quently held to the back of his head, and to the amaze ment of every person in the room Alexis was able to de scribe the various prints to which his attention was directed. We have thus endeavoured' faithfully to record the facts which we witnessed. it is our belief that the expe riments were performed fairly, and that in no single in stance did anything like collusion exist. We do not pre tend to account for the strange, the wonderful phenomena which this youth certainly manifested. Of course there were many present who refused to admit the possibility of any person seeing under such circumstances. One gen tleman, more incredulous than the rest, declared most emphatically that Alexis was able to see down his nose— an hypothesis, we must- confess, at variance with our anatomical and physiological knowledge. With his eyes almoit hermetically sealed he IRIS able to read a book taken from among a number, of works on the tabl e . In dependently of this, a handkerchief twice folded was placed over the printed page of a large volume, and through- this' the somnambulist was able to read with, facility. We draw no conclusion from the' facts; we confess they are m y s terious and inexplicable—beyond our comprehension. Let those who are disposed to be scep tical examine the matter for themselves ; they. will, we understand, have frequent opportunities• of doing so. Times. LOVE OF TITLES IN Am ERICA.-A well-known gentle man at . Winchester, .in this State (Virginia); related an amusing anecdote , to the on this subject. Crossing the Potomac into Virginia, with his horse, in a ferry-boat, the ferryman said , " Majcr;,l wish you would l ea d your horse a little forward,': which he immediately did, observing to the man, " I am not a major,-'and you .need, not call, me one." To this the ferryman replied, " Well, Kurnel, I ax your pardon, and not call you so no more." Be ing arr ived at the landing-place, h e l e d hi s horse out of the • boat, and said, My good friend, lam a very plain man, I am neither a colonel, nor a•major, I have no title at all, and rdon't like them. flow much have I to PaY?" The ferryman loOked at hiM and said, ", You are thertirst white Man? ever crossed this ferry that warn't jilt nobody at all, and I swear I'll not charge you nothing.'—Pea theratonhauyh'B Excursions.. MISCELLANEOUS. TUE MORMONITES.—The increase of Mormons during the past year amounts to 600 to 800 from foreign coun tries, and 300 or 400 from the United States (pencipally from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.) Fifty or sixty missionaries arrived at St. Louis on the 22th ult., on their way to preach Mormonism in different parts of the country.—American paper. SINGULAR NUPTIALS.-At the Cork spring assizes of 1842, it will be remembered that an action of crim. con. was tried, the parties being H—s v. P —e, when the injured husband got a verdict of £2,000 from a jury of tus countrymen for the grievous injury he sustained. A divorce was subsequently obtained in the House of Lords. So far for this " course of true love," hut " much re mains behind." The denouement of the affair is the most curious part of the business. The bereaved hus band started for England some time since,.and we are credibly informed, has been re-married to his quondam spouse, and received with her a fortune of £3,000! — Cork Examiner. STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Tuesday last the workmen employed in erecting a new gallery in llarbo rough church, on making, an opening in the massive stone wall on the south side of the nave, to support the beam of the gallery, discovered in the very centre of the wall a p•geon's egg, quite entire. How it could have got there is a matter not easily to be accounted for; and, as that portion of the fabric does not Lppear to have pro bably disturbed since its erection m any centuries ago,it bably was deposited there at that period, and has, by being thus carefully excluded from the atmosphere, been preserved uninjured through so many generations.— Northampton Herald. MR. FERRAND AND SIR JOHN WALSHAM.—Sir John W?lsham, the Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, has published a correspondence between him and Mr. Fer rand, on the subject of a charge brought against the for mer gentleman, that he had drawn up a report on the Keighley union, in June, 1812, " which had been proved to be false," and that he had been sent down to that union " previously to the debate of the 27th of June, 1842, for the special purpose of getting up a statement to be used against him (Mr. Ferrand) in the House of Com mons." Sir John Walsham requires an explanation of this charge, and Mr. Ferrand declines giving any, as the question is now one at issue between himself and Sir James Graham—" with the chief, and not with the su bordinate." To this Sir John replies, " You are, of course, perfectly at liberty to apprise me that in the exer cise of your discretion you must decline to answer these questions. I shall then know how to proceed. But if in attacking a Secretary of State you think proper to intro duce the name of so unimportant a person as myself, it is not sufficient to tell me (in answer to my request for exact information respecting the meaning which certain passages relating to my conduct are intended by you to convey,) that the question now at issue is between Sir James Gra ham and yourself. Permit me, moreover, to suggest to you that antitheses, to be effective, should be appropriate. 1 have the greatest respect for Sir James Graham and the high office be fills; but officially, he is not my chief, nor is he responsible for any of my acts, as for those of a subordinate. I owe my appointment to the Poor-law Commissioners, and hold it at their pleasure." THE ORANGEMEN OF IRELAND —A meeting of the officers of the Monaghan Orange Society was held on Tuesday last, Mr. Henry G. Johnston in the chair, at which the following sensible and manly resolutions were unanimously agreed to : , Resolved,—That, in accordance with the wishes of our beloved Grand Master, conveyed in his address of the 20th instant, as well as our own respect for the ex isting laws of the land, we, the Grand Orange Lodge, and the Masters of Lodges in this county, have come to the determination that there shall not be, on the part of our Orange brethren, any procession, display of party emblems, or exhibition, on the coming Ist or 12th of July, tending to a breach of the laws of the country, or to the annoyance of our countrymen of any persuasion. "That while we still hold in our hearts those principles fDr which our fathers bled and ourselves have suffered, our earnest desire is to uphold the law, and we, therefore, give up usages endeared to us by the memory of the past and our hopes of the future. "That while we regret that any number of our coun trymen should have so forgotten their allegiance and loyalty as to have joined an ille;al conspiracy against the State, the majestic vindication of justice, in the punish ment of those individuals, has increased our confidence in our rulers, and in the powers of the common law for the general purposes of government. . . " - That we hereby pledge ourselves to the most devoted loyalty to our beloved Queen, and to the constitution of the realm ; and to the most determined hostility to all attempts to divide the empire by a repeal of the legisla tive Union, which we believe to be a sectarian effort to exalt the church of Rome and its followers to power, by the suppression of true religion, and the degradation of the believers in God's Scriptures to a state of slavery." THE CONVICTS BARBER AND FLETCHEII.—The sub joined document, forming a declaration of the innocense of Barber by his fellow convict Fletcher, has been sub mitted to us for publication by Mr. Braman, of Verulam buildings, the solicitor on behalf of Barber in the late trials. It appears to be a complete and apparently truth ful exculpation on behalf of Fletcher cf his supposed par ticipation in the will forgeries and their attendant frauds; and is made at a time when disguise or falsehood would be vain and additionally iniquitious. Barber and Fletcher are now both on board the convict ship Agincourt, lying off Woolwich. and will sail on Tuesday next for their de stination. The witness whose name is appended to the paper, is, we believe, an officer of the convict vessel : "June 28. " I solemnly declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief William Henry Barber had no guilty knowledge that the will of Anne Slack was a forgery, or that it was otherwise than a legitimate and proper matter of business. As such it was introduced by me to him, as stated in my , first examination at the Mansion-house. And I further declare, that to my knowledge and belief he had no guilty knowledge of either of the cases which have recently formed the subject of indictment. I make this declaration with no other mo tive than to do an act of justice to Mr. Barber as far as lies in my power. "JOSHUA FLETCHER. (Witness) " MATTIIEW HALL CL,TTRISS." A FEMALE DUEL.—A rich and novel scene came off in the neighbourhood of Bayo Bridge, New Orleans, 30th ult., between Catharine Rouch and Eliza An&s, who met for mortal combat. As in the recent duels at Vicksburg, where thousanis gathered to see fair play and bet on the result, so at Bayo Bridge a large crowd met to see which of the frail fair ones would first bite the dust. But the " fancy " in such matters were doomed to disappoint ment after a few passes, when the " sport " was about to begin in earnest, the police interfered and carried off the combatants. We have reason to believe that this act of the police officers was denounced by the by startlers as " a cowardly outra ge ," w hi c h t h ey would not dare to perpetrate upon two of their own sex similarly engaged.— New York Sun, June 15. 3.4ULLED ALE.—My teakettle, half filled with the ale, was soon heating over the fire, whilst eggs, and honey, and butter, in another vessel, were being mixed together for the manufacture of a certain beverage that WaEat& Gabriel protested was to be a cure for my fever ; 'whilst Walderheros, to expel the " saroitsh," that I understood had already taken possession of his hips and shoulders, drew from its hiding place his clumsy pipe. In the folds of his mekanet, he soon found some tobacco ; and break irs the hard cake in which it is dried into smaller pieces, charged the slightly-excavated stone bowl, upon the top of which a glowing piece of charcoal was placed; and conso lation and comfort, in vast clouds, soon spread through the close apartment. The " moack," or egged ale, Wa!- lata Gabriel now' prepared for me, was a drink fit for the entertainment of the gods, when, in the good old times, they made Abyssinia an annual visit, and from whom the knowledge of it must have been first derived. It consisted of two or three drinking-hornsful of strong tallih, as many eggs, and two large spoonsful of honey for each horn of beer. A little butter was added when the mixture was boiling over the fire : that which, however, gave to it its pleasantest flavour was a small portion of a warm spice called korareema, a large kind of coriander, one inch and a half long, which is brought from Gurague, and the spice country to the south. They are brought into Shoe by priests travelling to Gondab, the only individuals that can traverse in safety the different Galla tribes to the south of the Hawash, between their country and Shoa. Forty of these korareema, threaded upon a strong hempen string, may be purchased in Aliu Aruba for au ahmulab ; and in aromatic flavour are equal, I think, to the best nutmeg or cloves. Drunk warm, this " woack" was an excellent cordial ; and I very soon got into the habit of conclueing very pleasantly, by its assistance, many very uncomfOrta ble days, either from circumstances or ill health.—John stone's Travels in Abyssinia. WRY IS A GARDENER THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY MAN IN THE WORLD ?—Because no man has more busi ness on earth—he always likes to have good ground for what he does ; he is master of his own thyme, is blessed with content, and can give balm to the afflicted; he raises his celery every year, without being obliged to the penny royal; he is master of the taint, and it is a bad year in deed that does not bring him a plain ; he is a great friend to the Marriage Act, because his great delight is to see a multitude of pears ; he meets with more boughs than the minister of states; he has even the Sultan in his power, and is superior to the sages; he is every day cultivating and enriching his parts, and he is a great encouragerof cockscombs, vet he himself has such a perfect contempt for dress, that his wig is often a perfect scarecrow ; be makes more beds than the King of France, and has in them more genuine roses and lilies than are to be found in that distinguished court ; his nursery is fuller than 'the foundling hospital, though it is liable to an odd accident, for it may sometimes be reduced to ashes, without being burned down, and water will not prevent it, but shrub may, of this he has great quantities, which many 'of the nobility purchase of him, though it is well knoWn they could never make a drop of punch of any shrub which he sold them ; he makes raking his business more than his diversion, and it is conducive to his health and fortune ; he walks the better for. the gravel, and thrives most in a consumption ; he inoculates with certainty of success - , and never lost a suckling by cutting of teeth, there never was an instance of sore throat or'fever infecting his nursery; he makes no use of James's powders ; but has great quan tities of bark ; he keeps the devil in a bush, and has been often in private with a Monkshood, without ever beiiig suspected of inclininganore to that than the Turk's cap, and though he • delights in the crown imperial, yet he brings more bon chretiens to perfection than' any popish confessor; he is remarkable for his &nerdy, and' deals much in the admirable, and it is no wonder that the man who reaches the Star of Bethlehem, should have the Marvel of Peru; his favourites are beauties of the most distinguished ki n d s , w ith e y e -b r ig/ i t s , cowslips, and h felon de Venus ; and though he enjoys all these, and many Others by turns, in high bloom, his wife has 'hearlsease enough,' and never wishes for'weeds; in short be can - boast . a more bleeding hearts than your ladyship, and of more taarets than the Duke of Marlborough, but his greatest pride,' and the world's greatest envy is, that he can have yew when be pleases. --.
