CONTEMPORAR PRESS. EXTRACKIDINARY MANCEUVRE. ( Fro:. tae S'iaiidard pf Satarc:ay.) The committee of the whole nouse,stooJ adjourned to twelve o'clock tins bi-, to hike into consideration the amendments to the Canada Bill proposej by Sir William Fotlett and other 'menibers. At "tv‘elve, however, and subsequently through the whole day, the reporters' gal lery remained closed ; butt at half-past twelve the re porters were informed that the house had adjourned, hav ing adopted e!/ ate amendments. The arrangement and purpose of this trick are quite intelligible. Ministers having bad quite enough or discussion, smuggled down enough of their members to constitute a committee, and then hurried over their distasteful work in secret. • THE . ; WHIG MINISTRY AND SIR 'ROBT.

The conduct of ime vvlii,gt, last night, was in admirable harmony with their conduct on those memorahle occa sions.

On Tuesday evening last Mr. Runibalt delivered his second lecture on phrenology, at the Medical Institution. w e were obliged to omit this lecture in our last publication for waist of space, and we have thereby got one'ins arrear. We must in eoneerraente, from the great length to- whicit the-lee tureg extend, givU them in brief,, so far as possible, emiraeting the iubsiance. tie lecturer commenced by saying that he must notice some remarks and errters with regard to his lectures, which appeared in the. Lire, pool Siandwd. He had corrected in a letier stone inaccuracies which had crept into a report of his first lecture, owing. to the crowded slate of the 'imn peeve - to iog the itenitter takOteg notes. Ile should have been content to have left the matter there, lAt that with great generosity the Siaartard had given him a very long, and he must say, alto sing for souse little variation! in the precise shade of sentiment he hail expressed, a very accurate report; and they had been pleases!. also to make some remarks on that lecture, to which be feat it net , ssacy to allude. He had usually put dowu the opponents of phrenology with a very short sentence, by asking what Ihoe knew of phre nology, and the answer had always been "nothing." Now the &and-art.; did know something about it, but it had - even said be, fo:fe'liis time that "a little knowledge was a dategeroesthing" Holten proceeded to contend that phrenology Was "suiron sition." It these were any science which dis.lainen sueposi- Lions, which discarded theory, which said " we will only go ita the Newtonian doctrine of deductions" from facts. loon expe. fleece from any one matter in which the mind of matt has been octuated, which said we will have no theory for or against, which said if you will show us anythiug that is supposition we will discard it; it was the science of pito enology. li thee called botany a science. which looked into the nature and habits plants. if they called zoology a science, which looked into the character aria habits of animals, and physiology, a science which looked into the nature of diseased structures of Irving bodies, why phuuld they not call that a science which took cog nizance not only of all this but of man; his mind, anti body, and understanding, what was the end of his being and the means of obtaining it? In the allusion to the objection we Urged that inter al or inferior developments of the braid, which were con cealed, might indicate contrary propensities to what the de velopeinettis of the soperficies did, and overwitehu them, and that therefore so long as only a part of the brain was taken cog, nizance of, no certain knowledge of a man's capabilities and character eoutd be obtained from the surface of the skull alone, and what therefore became of the science of phrenology? the lecturer denied that it was any argument against a science cause it was imperfect. It was craneology which the eiiitor of the Shrew/a:4 had mistaken for phrenology. He said " phre nology only means the knowledge of brans, and character ob tained through an examination of the skull." Now that was craneology. It was a branch of phrenology; but if men. had no eternal .heir heads were buried in fur caps, phreno logy would still be a science. Phrenology meanings knowledge or).he mind, end especially a knowledge of the mind as maul- Tested by oiganitatiou, yOu might be as accurate a phrenologist now as Jr you never saw another skuil, or if you did not apply it to parts equally with the skull. It was a science whirl shoisld knock d o wn every other, because it gave you a true hsxlirry of the human mitel whin no other science had attempted ; Or if attempted bad failed. He denied that he had said the soul had always been considered mind. What he said was that the soul by the generality of philosophers had been considered mind. He knew that the Siaadard was correct, that the old :philoso phers considered ;win to consist of three things, mind, soul, apd body. Let them.show him any one fact whereby they could show the existence of two immaterial essences, and then he would allow that man was composed of three distinct prim iples. But if they could not do that they would agree witb him that it was a dispute whether the mind was the result of organization like life, or a first principle, au immaterial principle. If it were an immaterial principle they could know nothing about it what eter, except it was manifested to them, and he had-stated that the - dlapiite hail arisen in his mind upon words, as most disputes hart arisen. Men had been taught to consider intelligence and mind the result of organization from seeing the dependence of mind on organization. Ile contended that the phrenologists were riot Materialists. If the soul could not keep op the memory, and jddgment, and feelings of the mind, it would go out of the world a blank, a tabla erasa as it canoe into the world, accord ing to the theory of Aristotle. Therefore the soul hail the pro perties of the Mind, and therefore the mind was the soul. But the. Strict rule of logic said you had no right to assume two causes when one wa s ; therefore if the emit per-. furnsed all the Itintitions, which had been eousidered to apper tain ti intelligence and mind they were the same. Men bad selitAlseinselves into sects, and had become advocates of ma terialism or tutmaterialistre bat that did nit affect-the question of the soul at all. If we denied that animals had souls, taking the anal as the. mind, we denied oinselyes, Mind was not the result of organization, and yet animals had minds. Whether or tie they they had souls to be saved was a matter which no philosophy could answer. and what no philosophy would attempt to answer, .That, they had something that took cognizance of the : acne of the body, nobody could deny; but, that they had so4lsArr Lie, saved, no man could contend for. The Bible only muse tie their guide. He cootended that phrenology threw a geeater light on the natural application of scripture than any likttsgPt. • If ever he fou'ud phrenology opposed to the,Bible, he wool:. say phrenology must be false. He alluded to the doctrine of Dr., Prl`Cartney, not being able t o concei v e how the brain could act' in pat ts.and not' as a Whole, it was so intimately connected that no traces of any division couhi not be fermi. He couttl not say that he had'a very brilliart idea of his intellect. Couk he 'conceive how dividing the sift it pair pair of nerves &mulct affect the tins of a donkey or his own tins that - he should not he able to put lips to trod, or not be able to take it up. He knew he could nut conceive anything abouZ the brain, as connected with the mind. NO anotomist of the brain had ever told them the least ihing alenn the mind. In aoswer to Dr. Alacariney's ii.siance of a man having a pitchfork driven iuio his brain, 'and losing some part of his Wain, and yet per fecity revovering, and not having his mental functions (lest nrired at ail he it, he contended he knew twirling about phrenology ; the reason why his meuta! functions were not disturbed was, because the other parts of the brain . could perform their rune lions. Mr. tturnball then gave a brief recapitulation or the heads of his last lecture, before proceeding with the lecture of site evenite. CO/11 , :ntiireileSS was placed about an inch behind and on a level with the top of the ear on each side of the head. It was bestlexhibited in the bull-dog. Every mart knew - there wasan inamense difference between a brave man and a coward; every man knew that the brave man was instant in courage in opposition to any thine; whereas the coward would quail before any thing. He had examined Sam Scott's head, the jumper, and he found Courage very well tleYeloped, and firmness greatly developed. But he was insane, ache should show. Combative ness, was not a quality likely to be suddenly eirovoked..but when provoked it was like a weaponput into our hands by Providence when wanted, which' should • cut . down every thing before it. Sir 'Sydney Smith had this faculty very fullv'developed, and Lord 'Howe.- He did not know what fear was.' He quoted a number 'of examples of the power of this faculty—Joan of Arc,' Lord Cockrane, Paul Jones, &c. The large aevekpement of this faculty predisposed to the commission of 'violence, if not checked by other faculties. Those who had this developement very largencould be looked upon as less guilty by•the Almighty then many a man who committed sin less in degree, bet with greater powers of controlling it. It rested . between man and his maker; but it would serve them to read that text, that in the day of lodgment "the last should be first and the first last." A man who had this - developementrnustnut necessarily become a matter to it ; he had the power of Controlling it. lie *as re sponsible to both God and man for his conduct, and bound to control it or meet punishment. Secretiveness was - the next faculty ;• 'it was very strongly developed in some kind 4 of birds, and in squirels. Man had it in his nature, and endeaVoured to conceal by it that which he had acquired. 'lt was in its abitse that we 'saw this faculty display itself in the most powerful mariner. It taught men to conceal 'their thoughts. Men with. out this faculty, whonold everything they.knew, put themselves - in die position to be imposed upon by every one. Wellington,- ; when a minister, when asked what lie intended to do, answered " Why. it' L thought the hairs of my head knew what I .intended to do l-would have my head shaved and wear a In its abuse it led to lying. if a man was so secretive as to conceal: what ought to be known, he would conceal it right or erring:. and tilt ineans•reas so ready at hand as a lie. They would find Wbettever se,,-eiiveness formed a decided part of the character, 'that the head was enlarged above destructiveness—from the latter part of destructiveness to the forehead, surrounding de s‘ructiveness, Acquisitiveness was the. next organ.. It showed self in animals in the desire to acquire, and was greatly mani fested in themagpie. In its unrestrained action it led men to - aenuire io spitetof everything.. The lecturer gave several 'eeanaples of thise,old Elwes; Daniel Denser, &c. • Curt,iouseess' was the next organ. It was said to he circumspection looking about. it was not timidity. It tended to self preservation. lierd Eldon had great cautiousness. He could' never decide .roe . conscientinusness and cautiousness, and be • did moreab settee wrong by following out the impulses of his cautiousness than ifhe had been hasty. Cautiousness was very common to . the female sex; and secretiveness and acqusitiveness'weie also verycoin mon to them. The American Indian exhibited this feature'very strongly; he never attacked an enemy in the front. It was•exhibited in- the great width of thee - back part of the ,ead. The• Hindoos were said to have it very large. It was the combination - of these qualities that formed character. Love of approbation was the next quality. The dog,. the horse, and the peacocle all passessed it. The pig and the sheep had it uotat all. Amongst mankind, females were - particularly dis tinguished by it. It was very largely developed in the female charaeter.• lint it tended to some of their best qualities as females; though in its abuse it was derogatory tolliem. The wmrran that. did uoreare for the praise' of herboshand would Wake •atverv. so-so wife. la its abuse•they had' the constancy andeaffeetiOn of the tried lover frittered away in a thousand pieces bv•being exposed to the concombery of many. Self: esteem , was the next organ. If man's mind were made up of understanding and propensities only, why then they would have men, as he' had heard them btasphemousty cared, hair beasts and half devils. But, though lie possessed propensities in coalmine with animals, they had no centrolling power, and therefore we did not look on animals as committing theft or' murder; marched this controlling. power. Marc had implanted: inlinn!by the Divine Being powers essentially - ontkrsert in'their • nature to the !ewer propensities, and it was perfectly possible sir arsy•man to vont rol these propensities. Every man not lean• enidint or a lunatic, in a greater'or less degree, possesse-i suffi cient control over his organization, therefore man was respon. sibleno God and to society. • Mr. IZurn -- 'u - ail — c * O - n - cide . cl his lecture at ten o'clock. THURSDAY'S LECTURE. On Thursday evening Mt'. Rumball gave his third lecture on phrenology, at the Medical Institution. Mount pleasant. In commencing be said be was afraid he should not give a satisfactory lecture that evening, as he had been exceedingly 111 and hadhail no time for preparatiun and that therefore instead of drawing, on memory for facts he must thaw on hitactuat' knowledge or the subject, He had omitted one ol- the propel) . — sities in his last lecture, which was common to man and ani mals, that of ronsirticiiveness. If they exnunioed birds and ani mals, they saw a very great difference in their• habiiii in this particular. They saw some with a very great powerof con structing or fashioning their nests and habitations, thebeaver . for instance whose habitation was large and of a complicated construction. They found o:her animals of a-much higher de gree of intelligence without the smallest sign of. this faculty ; the horse and the elephant for instance. Some animals build their habitations in a.very beautiful manner, in a. manner that could not even he imitated by man with all his ingenuity. This was evidently not the result or reason, otherwise man would be able to imitate and surpass these constructittns because his rea s s•m was superior. Moreover they would fin'lnn uniformity of construction. The bird bunt in a cage, if let out, would build the same nest as its kind. II t was clearly, thetefore, an instinct which impelled them into a certain line or conduct ; so long as it. was nit counteracted by some other instinct. Man had this instinct, and it was not. the result of reason in him, because it deielhped itself very early in youth' before, reason develo:ied itself: Peter. ahe Great was a sitin-builder, andaftetwards a watchmaker. sand they had many instances of kings and em perms amusing themselves in mechanics. They must also have remarked the very great difference in Fatties is the con struei ion of bo nnets and caps, and some milliners would far iordass others inthisiesnect, not because they were of Snneribr intelligence. Gall w'aa.struck with the width of the head just beatind the eyebrow in those who had a taste for mechanical pursuits.. They would find that amongst men - eminent for me chanical ingenuity, their hrows . swelled in that natlicu lar snot. Th e y might expect that those who had this facally would delight in having their thinigh;s and expressions arranged' in order. L ure of opprobalion belonged' to the higher sentiments. It was said that the higher sentiments evidenced a:certain indefinable emotion, well known to the metaohysicians of old, which. they could better understand than dese . ribe. W hen in early youth we were praised, we all knew that we had undefined emotion which we. could not describe. So in adhesiveness when you met your-friend; but that was placed a m o ngs t the lower 'faculties, From /ore of opprobalion they went tin to self' esi.enz. 'lt was was a pritilaryone. Gall _save the allowed that this feeling name of hauteur twits abuse. ft was essential that man should not be left to the capriciousness of others tot anplobat ion. That Lis love of aparohatiun should not receive its cue from the coin pany.hefell info. He would thrrt be a weathercock veering round to the opinion ()revery luau. Therefore nature had given to him a feeling which acted as a silent monitor, not of right and wrong, but or his "rn'"z up to hid own satisfaction or contentment or not; and when a inan lost his self esteem, or self respect, be any act whatever, he would fee! exceedingly the value of tiris•senti anent. It was more develop e d, i n , the English than the French. The French had love o/ approbation strongly developed, the Ems:lists, set,' esieein. The French looked on the English as prond and haughty, and the English on the Ft ench as frivolous. Jr had been attributed to animals, but he thought improperly. The peacock did not hold its- head up because it was proud, but strutters to (4 - bit its peahen. The pio-cd man was known by his walk. The late Lord Salisbury went througit the whole of the continent it was said, wi hoot once touching the haul: of his carriage; he was so proud that he would not lean even throe (a lasts:ht. Rut if 17 rid e taught a inart to seek for his own ap proval, and if it would pro - serve him as it would most effectually. in default or better feelings, from giviros way to his lower pas siring, his self esteem was his best possession, and if it wuuld keep him from' associating with those whom he constueted below his character, he could see nothing of this feeling whatever in man . . The race horse would as soon lie down with the cart horse in the commonest shed, as with his biotiter in his own well aired and ventilated statute. In bolding this opinion he ran • counter to other phrenologists. They saw self esteem more in its abuse than in its 'legitimate ocrupation which was to • keep Man in his self respect—to preserve him from falling in his rank of life, whether moral or statistical, in which it had pleased God to place him. But in its abuse it aeeceunlished strange results, and made trier fancy themselves kings, and persoits iufinitely above what they were. He knew one man who waaltvays looking after great people, and if he did not see them he used to fancy he saw them. Vanity and pride were by mane writers eonfounded, but they were as mm. site as light and darkness. The vain man was not what Gad had Marie him, but what lie had acquired. He was not satisfied with his own opinion or himsetf, but pleased with the opini o nv . anthem He went cap in hand, asking of everybody theft' mite of approbation; bot tlie proud man was far from wishing l your approbation—he despised it; it passed like's shadow over bit mind without t tou c hing it. What was the natural result of this? That he was a very contented man, anti that ambition was no t on e o ;"1 he at tributes of self esteem, as declared by Cox. What did ambition mean? To get oat of the position aou are in. 't he proud man was col - fleeted if as ignorant as au urn amid as ugly as Romeo Coates. The man who was most proud of himself teas frequently the most ignorant. Because it was quite evident that the man who arts most satisfied 'with himself would not try to•improve, and, therefore, sell' esteem was for the ionivirlual a most desirable quality,. but for society and man kind it was one of those qualities which ought to be kept under much enntroul indeed. The next quality was benevolence. The-benevolent man would refuse charity with a kind word, but the man devoid of it would spurn the beggar though he gave a penny.• I t was sa id to belong to animals. • The horse dealer knew a good tempered home by the reuntlness of his forehead. If•ever volt buy a horse with a hollow forehead and narrow eats, he assurer) voni will have a vicious had tempered Loose. Bene volence taught a nantrtrado good to auottler to, I lie sacrifice of himself. It eats a very line feeling, but a feeling as little prac tised. by-th e %odic at large as possible, and as inuelt lauded by the .pit . blic as postilite. Whenever a mat) did a benevolent action to his (two wrong, he wastauded as the finest individual, and laugher) at as a great fool. Ile instanced Sir Frau c i s Bur dett as an example on his faculty, which lie loot v er y l arge l y developed, amid he attributed Sir Francis Burdeirs exertions in early life to relieve the oppressed, and him whom lie considered as suffering wro ng, to this faculty. _As men grew older they were obliaed to modify this faculty in the present false state of society. It taught 'men to a v o id cruelty. A benevolent roan would not half kill an animal and hang it up to gloat en its agonies, as be 'hail heard of 'a botcher doing; therefore it was a softener. Whenever they found individuals gifted with th a t quality, whatever their irritability of temper, they would always had the good of their f e ll ows at find that in their hearts they heart, and in spite of their misfortunes they would always be the pleasanter people to live with. But they would not succeed in life; they would not be able to go and turn the (+lidless widow into the street out of her house; they would not be able to wring the last farthing from the debtor: but as plen:y would d o that to them, these would get their tights and they would not , and must go to the wall. .Never: heless it was one of the finest qualities. It was developed in the front of the top of the tote head. It was the part which the hair last left, as if old time lett a lock there to its honour. Veneration was the next faculty. The Almighty h a d rev ealed himself to man, and had commander, him not to worship him as the result of season, not because he should think it right to worship him, and tie told man that it should be the first impulse of his mind. The traditional reve lation of the Deity bad descended to the present time amongs t all lands. The North_ American Indian, in his worship, used almost the very words, "Our Father who art in heaven." He believed. in the great spirit, and called him Father. It was . (dear that they only , did so from , traditional. e vidence, not from any re:tanning of their own. When the traditi on al evidence of the Deity was- lost; atan's reason set up degraded notitins of the Deity. There was not one Deity but mane, as, in Greece. They deified whatever they - admited. ttensoia could .not dis cover anything reating to the Deity. The Romans tiad.deilited heir emperors, and tbus became idolaters • of Ibe worst. kind. The 11 indoo betrayed a much li;glier notion of the Deity. He was no sufficiently a historiau to know how catty they had se oarat eil from the original stock, bet they seemed - to have carved away a much more beautiful philosophy in the Vedas,the scrip tures of the Bralimina, which were believed ai by 80,000,000 of people. "The Supreme Being is not to be comprehended by reason ; not to be conceived .by devotion or virtuous.. practices beyond the limits of the explanation of the Vedas, and•not to be compassed by any human faculty whateve..." They went further, they defined the Supreme-Being as being•Hiru loin whom the universe proceeds, who was the Lord of the universe, ant, whose work was the universe. This was a far superior doe-• trine to that of the Greeks or Romans. God bad commanded man to worship him, and had given him the faculty to worship , him. This did not depend on ,reason it was clear, because 'Christ had said, " These things were hidden from .t he wise •and' learned; and revealed unto babes." 'Therefore, infants had the faculty to worship Him. This faculty, ii', not tightly directed, , • wouldjusf as soon worship•a cow as the .true Lord, and, there-s fore, the intensity of a man's piety was no proof of the truth of , his religion. In• itsnaause it .led• to• very great evils. 'This • faculty,. from a tingularcoincidence, formed the key -stone of the , arch of the head. They would find that,in men-who were eminent for this pious feeling—this impulse, the middle or the top of the head was very prominent indeed.. He • instanced a :likeness of St. Augustine as an example. The abuse of this faculty de .stroYed its object. He knew a lady who was on her kneesseven hours a day, who had an exceedingly fine mind, and he never saw her do a kind ton, or heard a kind , sent intent from .her, she was altogether occupied in the worship of Gad. t excited the greatest • bitterness of feeling; history recorded instances of children having lieenalaahed brainless on the pavement; and the mother thrown iuto the flames,- the result •of this feeling. In insanity, veneration ft equent ly occupied the whole , mind. This faculty led in' , co,tseientiousness. Animals had not this feeling, The horse never refused to take food from his. neighbour's manger; and it was this faculty whicluessentially distinguished man-from all created animals., Firmness was the• neat quality, and was said to esist most . where active courage .was wanting,. Gives firm man time to - collect his thoughts and to.measurohis , antagonist, and then he became a man capable of carrying him self througlnalanger as well asthe physically brave man. It was a feeling which would be a very good-substitute for the physical courage of Sam Scott, who saw-no danger. and whq told him that if he would pay him 100 guineas he 'would jump from the top of St. Paul's iuto_the , area. If a line were drawn from the chin, through the ear to the salient portion at the top of the head, • there- they - found - the•organ of self esteem , ; and firmness was between self esteem and :veneration. The Ninth American Indian. was very largely made at that part of the ' head, and no tot tureconld makelatin utter ta,groan• When his persecutors were blowing up his skin With guupowder, instead: of groaning, he was taunting. them. Another faculty was hope, which was situated on either side of veneration.. He did note thick it apt irnitive The• sanguine man hoped . wheel hope was lust ; it Was a happrdisposition.. There was a faculty. • in the mind which animals had. not,- which gladdened the life of man; there was an imagination and a play of fancy.which the money-getting man. had little not ion.of. He could not walk in the fields but the song of the birds had a sweeter tone for him. He lived in a world of his own; he lived, find ,was despised by the world below him, but the world was immeasurably- below him. This was the faculty of I(:eality. The poet was born not made. Ile might labour for ever-at shoe-making.- hut ifhe had nut ideality and became a, poet, he (Mr. lininballl would be come- a shoemaker.. This quality was situated on. either side of their head below benevolence-. Wont er was a higher order of ideality. and was situated beside it. More than half the suicides of this land were committed under the direction and orders of what-the pour infatuated iiidiyittuat. thought spirits. 'They now came to - Sam , Scott, and he had done what no other individual had done with• impunity, and did , it because he was insane , . Ile had told him, that one night at twelve o'clock, a spirit came -to his bed side. and tidal him he was to go through these , exercises and take those jumps, and that he could dolt. The spirit came to him over - and over again,- and at last. he did it, and flew he *as constantly doing it. These were- the moral faculties given liy - God to repress• the lower propensities.* *- We have so many points to notice in the preceding lectures, and the space allotied to us is necessarily so confined, that we hardly know where to begin or which to cull. Passing over Mr. Rumball's introductory observations in his second lecture, as introductory, we cometo his arguments. He first strenuous ly contends that phrenology is a science—one " that g oes on the Newtonian d oc t r i ne . of deductions. from facts," a n d that it is not any argument against a science because it is imperfect. Both these positions-we takeleaveto deny. What-is the mean ing of the science of any thing, but that all about that thing is known-and understood, •or, at- least, that that which is con fidently spoken of is fully knoan and understood ? Would the mathematician call mathematics a science if he could only demonstrate one-third of a problem, and come to no conclusion whatever as to the other parts, whether they bore out his de tnonstration of the one part or subverted it, and thereforearrive at no matherratical , certuinty as to his right demonstration of the whole problem - ? Why, the mere tyro mathematician of a day would laugh at- the absurdity of such a proposition, And we maintaiu that the• cases- are parallel. The phrenologists- hold that the convolutions of the brain are the orgal-is of it, and that on their relative- fullness depends- th&stsength.of the faculties attributed to those organs: Take-this theory: 'The convolutions of the brain - denote its organs. Mr. Rumimil instanced a con volution, as being under the organ of ronnhativeness. lie also instanced that whereatte convolution to whict, phrenologiats have given the faculty of veneration was wanting, the man was not ne cessarilydestitute ofreligion, as other faculties - might in a great measure supply its wants, of which the phrenologist on exami nation would judge, by the deveopement of the other higher faculties, benevolence, conscientiousness, self esteem, &e, The phrenologists have two-thirds of theconvolutions of the brain only, front which to draw conclusions. Tnere is an extensive surface of more intricate and larger convolutions—therefore, it is-fair to presume, on this mode of reasoning, of faculty de pending on convolution, of more intricate. and• extensive faculties—on the surface-of the cerebellum, of which the phreno logist cannot take any cognizance. Therefore, he demonstrates the whole from its part; and dues this leaving out all the intri cate-and interior structure of the brain. But, if• the 'man desti tute of the faculty of veneration must not necessarily be-devoid of religion because other moral faculties may supply the deficiency, the opposite argument must also be allnwed that a man' with immense combativeness, acquisitiveness, sectetiveiress, together with the want of benevolence, must not neCessarily be a villain, a thief, or a murderer,. because- other faculties may overpower these so largely developed; and whether other facal tiesdo so - ovet power them or not, the- phrenologist cannot tell, because he cannot see, nor know all the faculties. Then what becomes of the demonstrated certainty of character from phrenological observation? Why there is no certain knowledge;' all is guess work and "supposition," and phrenology is, • therefore, no- science at all. Mr. Rumball says, "in our last arguments we spike of craniology not of phrenology." This is a distinction without a difference; for both words are the-same essentially in meaning, and are used indiscriminately by most writers on . this subject for the same thing. The cra niologist maps out the cranium into faculties, and the phrenolo gist by a different name does the same things We do not un derstand what Mr. Rumbell means by "if men's heads were buried in a fur cap von might be an accurate phrenologist;" • and to be a phrenologist he further on explains 10 mean to have • E thi n k"a knowledge ne findby o a r u g t a a n , i rn z aattilo.rsi amount o N u V n e t of reneration for instance. on the principles of phrenology if be poufzzmleitAhliz.alturnmagairlels • had a fur cap on his head! We will stay a moment, however, before we proceed further, or we shall trespass beyond oar li mits, and revert to the. convolutions of the brain, a nd to the. phrenologists' " Newtonian doctrine of deduction front facts." And first we a s k i s it a d e d uc ti o n from facts that the con volu tions of the brain are the faculties thereof? Certainly, says the phrenologist, for from observation we find certain. faculties in dicated by certain enlargements of the bead, under which by anatomy we find convolutions. This we deny, as a false de duction and coot rary to facts. Because the convolutions of the brain, according to Spurzheim's own plates, are irregular in size and form in different heads, and present no more approach :to unifurmity than the windings of the small intestine. 'Therefore there ran be no coinparing of blains-in this way, for men have not all the same convolutions of the brain, differing only in developeunent, but have different convolutions. So much for , this deduction. But the organ for combativeness,, for instance,- as other organs are said to do, exists on both sides of the head, and the two organs act the same as the two eves in the same way. Now leaving aside the anatomical facts that all the dis coverable fibres of the brain converge to one c.eutre front the surface, ensuring, as it were, concord and imity iu. the whole brain, that there is no discoverable fibrous or oilier connection between the two organs separately on each side of the head, we come to the fact that the cocvolutions- of. the brain, which are the developed faculties of it according to the phrenologists, di, ger on di pent sides of the same head, and that on the showing or Spurzhenn's own plates; therefore there must be a difference of faculties on each side of the head, and not a duplicity pro vided by nature to ensure the continuance of function in acci dent or disease of the one; so there is tan end of that argument, and so much for that Newtonian deduction from facts. • Let us enquire what are the facts. Man when he decides on any thing, does it qhickly, with his whole mind, and promptly follows out. his mental decision by action, in numerous instances Of daily occurrence, this is done "as quickly as thought," showing unity of determination carried out into actiou When a man ' delays coining to a determination —considers a point, his judgment takes cognizance of it in every shape, and of the impulses and biaSes of his own mind also, and decides the question on its whole merits, and on that decision the men acts, sometimes against his impulses, which give in to his judgment, showing unity. It is remarkable phre nologists have given judgment no place in the head! The ana tomy of the brain discovers several series of white fibres, all converging towards one centre, the spinal :narrow; and the whole structure of the brain shows indivisible comp l ex i t y , an d therefore l e ads to the conclusion of the un it y of the or g an. Floureus, a French anatomist, found, by experiments, that as the cerebrum of a bird was cut away by d egrees, by degrees it lost the power of motion all over th e bodyorgan—nr4 of , parts of the body, nit by bit—proving it to be the of motion, not of sensual passion. On cutting away, in 'slices, the cerebrum of a chicken, he found it lose its faculties by degrees—sight, hearing, smell, taste, perception—that he could go to a certain extent without destroying the functions of the hemispheres, that of each hemisphere was enough for the performance of all its functions, till at last on cutting the whole away it was found in a state of apathy, but still had the full power of motion. It could dy when thrown in the air, and tun when impelled forward, but knocked against anything in it s way—yvas devoid of faculty, and would starve if not fed; " it was without desites, without cares, without pains, without pleasures," and in this state it lived for ten months and got fat, and died through neglect. On these grounds may we not con:. elude that the brain is one organ, and that the fact related by Dr. Macartney may so be explained—that a person may lose a part of the brain and not lose his faculties, but only lose them in degree. According to the phrenologists he must lose that faculty v hich was injured only. We have several cases to quote to prove this portion as well grounded, and as the only rational position, but time and space will not permit us now to give them. But we shall recur to this subject. Only imagine the condition of a man on the phrenologists' theory— possessed of 24 or 35 distinct faculties, with no bond of union; now, and at the same moment, impellediq beszendenceto charity, and by acquisitiveness to meanness ; now, and at the same mo ment, impelled to fight by combatireness, and witheld by cau tiousness; now, and at the same moment, impelled try secretire. ness, to tell a lie, and by sell-esteem to scorn it—why a man by this stale of things would he eternally playing at see-saw within ' himself. without any fixed . principle on which to act,,and would , .. go abo u t a living type of Mahoniet's coffin. ever suspended be-; tween right and wrong.. We have a better (and 'we trust a well. founded) opinion of our race, and ground it upon the almost innumerable examples of men h a vin g followed .out one strong ment.il determinant...o through every obstacle that could oppose or seduce.
