FRANCE.—The funeral of Monsignore Garibaldi, the Pope's Nuncio, took place on Tuesday, at Notre Dame. Lord Cowley acted as chief mourner. having on his right Mgr. Vecchiotti, now Charge d'Affaires of the Holy See, and on his left the Abbe secretary. The Emperor was represented by several of his household. [lt must have been a gratifying sight to witness the representative of Queen Victoria, as the first to do honour to the obse quies of a Papal Nuncio.] The greatest activity prevails in the dockyard at Cher bourg, where the Austerlitz, mixed line of battle ship of 100 guns, and the Alceste, 52 gun frigate, are being got ready for sea. On Thursday a telegraphic message was received at Calais, from Paris, to secure every sailor under forty years of age, and who had not already served four years in the French navy. The men were ordered to be sent to Brest immediately. Several fishhlg-boats, having been deprived of their crews, have been dragged on shore. PRUSSIA.—It is believed that Prussia will evade com mitting herself to either side of the Turkish question. She does not lose her claim to position among the greater Powers by saying nothing on the subject ; but her note to London and St. Petersburgh is very inconclusive, for while she by no means holds out that she sides with France and England, she, at the same time, does not approve Russia's measures, and declines to become a party to an alliance of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, in the matter in uestion. 'lug into tho ken province SPAIN.—The streets of Madrid are thronged by tr ►d:, of the poor peasantry, who are pct pital by thousands, from the famine-str of Galicfa. The government has voted 4,000,000 reak for their immediate relief ; but this is insufficient for the sup ply of their immediate wants even, and their distress is absolutely appalling. Hundreds have died from starvation and exposure to the inclemency of the weather. TURKEY.—An important document, signed by "Count Nesselrode," has been transmitted to the representatives of Russia at each foreign court. The following is the sub stance of it :—" Count Nesselrode expressly declares that Prince Menschikoff's mission had no other object than the arrangement of the disputes relative to the Holy Places ; that the blame and responsibility of the present ferment must be attributed to the claims put forth by France, and the concessions obtained by her ambassador, to the detri ment of those who profess the Greek faith and to the ad vantage of those who profess the Roman Catholic faith ; that the Sultan, on being remonstrated with, solemnly promised to guarantee all the rights hitherto enjoyed by the Greek church ; and that, moreover, the Sultan for warded an autograph Hatti-scheriff, with a firman to that effect ; that the Czar accepted this promise, but soon found reason to regret having misplaced his confidence, owing to the duplicity and tergiversation of the Ottoman Cabinet, when called upon to put the firman into execu tion ; that the Turkish authorities at Jerusalem first denied any knowledge of the existence of such a document, but when constrained to promulgate it by the Russian Consul, they accompanied its promulgation by insults to the Greek Church ; the firman, the solemn promise, was flagrantly violated by the bestowal of the key of the Church of Beth lehem upon the Latin or Papist Patriarch, and the Sultan thus acknowledged the supremacy of another Church than that which included the majority of his Christian subjects. This shameless, faithless conduct was ag gravated by the insulting tone of decision assumed by the Turkish Cabinet; and the Czar, wounded in his reli gious feelings, felt bound to demand signal satisfaction." In conclusion, it says :—" if the rejection of the last means of conciliation we propose to solve the difficulties raised against us in the affair of the Holy Places should lead to complications which may break the peace, it is not on our shoulders that the responsibility for such events would rest." The English and French fleets are in Besika Bay. The Porte is making great efforts to place itself in a state of defence. The entrance of the Bosphorus is protected by the presence of the whole of the Ottoman fleet. The forts, which command the passage, are armed, and it was in contemplation to establish two camps, one on the heights of the village of Buyukdere, and the other, to be composed of the regiments of the guard, in the plain of Haidar-Pacha, near Scutari, in Asia. The Porte has declined the offers of services received from Hungarian, Italian, and Polish refugees in the event of a war with Russia, having decided on receiving assist. ance only from English or French soldiers who have re ceived permission from their respective governments. The events at Constantinople have produced a profound sensation throughout Arabia. The numbers of pilgrims that are assembled at Mecca and all the native tribes wait but for the signal to commence the war. Religious fana ticism has reached the highest point. By a telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, of the 16th inst., we learn that the ultimatum of Russia has been finally rejected by the Porte. The note which informed the Russian government of this determination was com municated by Redschid Paella to M. Balabine, secretary to the Russian Embassy, and only remaining representa tive of Russia at Constantinople. The note, which is in great part a recapitulation of the previous notes of the Turkish government, re-states the reasons of the Sultan for refusing his consent to any formal act, whether treaty, convention, or "capitulations," which would sacrifice his independence, by binding him to engagements, not in favour of foreign residents, but of Turkish subjects ; and by according to another power the right of interference between him and his people. At the same time, whilst firmly rejecting the ultimatum of Russia, the Porte ex presses its conviction that the Emperor's motives cannot be otherwise than loyal ; and to prove the high estimation in which she holds the character of the Czar Nicholas, and the truth of her belief in the sincerity of his friend. ship, she offers to send a special envoy to St. Petersburgh, who' shall open fresh negotiations. RUSSIA.—On the 12th the Emperor again visited the harbour of Cronstadt, to inspect the Baltic fleet there con centrated. Owing to the extensive purchases of grain for the supply of the Russian fleet and army, the prices have risen considerably. From Vienna, under date June 19, we learn that the Russian troops have not yet crossed the Pruth, but that the delay is owing to the insurmountable obstacles thrown in their way, by the overflowing of the Lower Danube, and all other rivers in those parts. The plains are trans formed into lakes, and the mouths of the rivers are so encumbered with sand, that the commander of the flotilla has declared, that the passage would be attended with the greatest dangers. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA By the British and North American Royal Mail steam. ship Arabia, Commodore Judkins, which arrived here on Saturday forenoon, we have advices from New York to the Isth instant. By this voyage, which is the fastest ever made across the Atlantic, the palm of superiority now rests with the Cunard line. The Arabia sailed from New York at 0 35 p.m. on the 15th, and at 5 55 p.m. passed the royal mail steam-ship Asia, hence for New York. On the 25th, at 9 55 p.m., she passed the Bell Buoy ; at 10 34 a.m. saluted the Rock Light, and at 10 42 a.m. passed the Landing stage, having made the run in 9 days 17 hours and 11 minutes. The quickest previous run was by the United States mail steam-ship Arctic. She sailed from New York at noon on the 7th February, 1852, and passed the Landing -stage at 10 22 a.m. on the 17th, having made the run in 9 days 17 hours and 26 minutes mean time,—thus showing a difference in favour of the Arabia of fifteen minutes over the fastest passage ever previously made. This passage is also 3 hours and 39 minutes faster than the best run of the Pacific ; 8 hours and 24 minutes faster than the best run of the Baltic ; and 8 hours and 4 minutes faster than the best run of the Atlantic. It is also 1 hour and 45 minutes quicker than the best westerly run ever made. The Arabia brought 165 passengers, and 43118,-914 in specie. _ The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Capt. Nye, which sailed hence on the Ist, arrived at New York at 2 p.m. on the 12th instant. The screw-steamer City of Manchester sailed from Phi ladelphia for this port on the 11th, with 160 passengers and $20,000 in specie. The steamer Texas had arrived at New Orleans from Vera Cruz with $126,000 in specie. The steamer Illinois had arrived at New York from San Francisco with =8'1,111,300 in gold dust. The latest accounts from Washington state that Mr. Buchanan was expected to leave for London next month. Mr. Vroom had sigrified to the President his acceptance of the mission to Prussia. One hundred and thirty-nine of the rescued passengers f:om the William and Mary had arrived at New Orleans in a destitute condi::on. A fire had occurred at New York, on the 12th, in the vicinity of the Atlantic Dock, involving a loss of 5300,000. The trial of Captain Ma loney, of the ship Roscius, for the murder of a seaman on the high seas, had terminated in a vc:dict of acquit:al. It is stated that the Navy Department at Washington de sign to institute a professorship of dancing in the Naval Academy, at Washington, that accomplishment being looked uport abroad as essential to the interchange of civilities. The celebrated Californian ship Sovereign of the Seas was on the berth for this port, and would sail as soon as hands could be got to man her. The Gavazzi excitement still contiuued at Montreal. On the 12th a mob demolished all the windows of St. Stephen's Church, situate in the suburbs. Three more of those who were wounded at the time of the attack had died. It was reported that Gavazal was to return on the 15th, and conclude his lectures. Accounts from the r:ty of Mexico to the 4th instant re present that country in a deplorable state. Conflicts were daily taking place between the soldiers of the garrisons, police-agents, and citizens. A body of sixty robbers had entered the town of Lagos, liberated the prisoners, 250 in number, and carried away property to the value of 530,000 or 440,060. The inhabitants, numbering 8.000, made no resistance. Sixty deaths by vomit° were reported at Vera Cruz on the 7th. The new tariff of Santa Anna was said to be higher than that of 1845, and was expected to prove very unsatisfactory. Cotton goods are in future to pay 6 cents per yard. The tobacco monopoly was to he taken f:om private hands, and administc:ed by the government. Havana advices of the Bth instant state that heavy rains had occurred, and the yellow fever was very prevalent. Smallpox had made its appearance at Matanzas. Sugar firm, and shipping scarce, which retarded business. The stock of sugar amounted to 2 1 .)0,900 boxes. Exchange on London 101 to 104 premium. COMMERCIAL I NTELLIG LNCI New York, June 15 MoNEv.—Adccided tendency towards greater ease is ap parent. The supply of fl,:at:r4 capital inc.-eases, and 6 per cent. is now the outside rate for loans "on call." Leading paper discounts readily at seven per cent. Notwithstand ing this favourah:e feature, the stock market cont . :alms, generally, quite inanimate. Foreign exchanges are rather dull. The closing quotations are :—Bills on London, 91 to 9 re - : cent. prern ; Paris, &c., f. 5.121 to f. 5.131, days, and f. 5.10 to f. 5.114, short sight ; Hamburgb, 36A to 30,-. _ (From tke New York Shipping List, of .h.f):e 15.) COTTON.—The market has been very dull for the three days, the aspect of the political affairs abroad ha' produced a pause in opera!:ons. Some sales made at to t cent. decline, but holders generally are d posed to want further development.% aid Inter ad ices looked for 7411 some I RECEIPTS, EXPORTS, AND STOCKS OF COTTON.

Excess in receipts down to 223,000, and in export to Great Britain 31,000. We do not alter our quotations last advised, as, although nominal for all grades below ' good middling,' they are still the rates at which cotton is firmly held and sparingly offered. To sell, however, in quantity, holders would be compelled to concede +c. from the ruling quota tions, while an advance of Id. per Asia, next due, would renew the demand and re establish the market." BREADSTUFFS.-With moderate receipts we have bad a steady market for flour, and rather higher rates have been paid. In shipping qualities, the advance amounts to 61-c. per barrel. Wheat continues in demand, and the price tends upwards. Indian corn is without material change in value. PROVISIONS.—Owing to temporary light receipts of western pork, prices of mess have advanced 121 c., but the other descriptions have not varied ; there is, however, a fair demand. Beef has been in better request, part for export to Liverpool, and though still plenty, prices of the better grades have improved 14c. to 25c. SALT.—An invoice of 501 sacks Bromilow's Liverpool fine, just received, has been sold at Sl 44c., 4 mos. The other parcels Liverpool arrived were sold previously. NAVAL STORES.—SaIes have been made of 500 barrels of spirits of turpentine at 42 cents. There is nothing doing in rough turpentine, and the prices are nominal. IRON.—There has been mere doing in Scotch pig, several hundred tons here and to arrive having changedt hands, chiefly at S'2B to £2B 50c., and in some incazesn at =B'29, 6 mos. More, however, is generally asked. FREIGHTS, to Liverpool, have been very active, and the engaeements large, at the following rates :—Cotton, 1.1. to 0.321. per lb. ; flour, 2s. per bbl. ; grain, in bulk, 5(1. to sd. per bushel. To London, flour, 2s. per bbl. To Ilavre. cotton, ? f c. per lb. New ORLEANS, JUNE 13.—The advices per Pacific have had no effect upon our cotton market. The day's sales have been 2,000 bales, at previous rates. The stock in this port is now 112,000 bales. Tobacco : 700 hhds. have been sold at a decline of lc. from the highest point. Sterling exchange is dull. Freights to Liverpool are quoted at -id. per lb. for cotton. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. By the United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, CaPt- WrAt, we have advices from New York to the 11th inst. She brought 207 passengers, and 306,553 dollars in specie. Her Majesty's frigate Leander arrived at New York on the 10th, from Plymouth, with Lord Ellesmere and suite on board. The Illinois sailed from San Francisco on the 16th, with =81,600,C00 in gold dust. Dreadful riots had occurred at Quebec and Montreal, on the occasion of Father Gavazzi's lectures. He lec tured on the 6th at Quebec, and many persons were injured by the mob. Father Gavazzi was himself thrown out of the pulpit, and received a severe cut on the head, and another on the face. On the 9th he gave a lecture at Montreal. The Romanist portion of the community became furious, the military were called out, and were ordered to fire on the mob, when seven persons were killed, six mortally injured, and ten severely wounded. Telegraphic accounts state that there was great excite ment at Montreal on the 10th. The steamers El Dorado and Prometheus had arrived at New York from San Francisco, the former with *688,792, and the latter with $500,000 in gold dust. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. THE TOBACCO PLANT, in the United States, has been badly injured by the fly, an d i s very scarce.

D JEws.—A German traveller has discovered a race of negroes near the kingdom of Bambara, that are Jews in their religious rites and observances. MADAME SONTAG, it is said, will retire to private life after the completion of her American tour, having realized about £60,000 in the United States, and, during the same time, distributed 5`6,000 in private charities. A BOMBAY PAPER says that three European children, who are supposed to he the survivors of the crew of some wrecked ship, have been seen at the Nicobar Islands by the crew of the ship Colonel Burney. PROVISIONS IN GERMANY.—Letters from all parts complain of the high price of provisions, which they at tribute to the large and increasing demand for the English markets. Two STALKS OF COTTON, twelve feet high, and one of them producing 403 bolls, were pinked up the other day in Madison county, Miss., U.S. They are to be shown at the World's Fair, as the New York exhibition that is to be is called. AN AMERICAN BAPTIST PREACHER, Washington Carroway, fifty years old, in a city of Hyde County, U.S., has shot a man named Lassiter, who had interfered to prevent Carroway's wife being murdered by her infuriated husband a few days previously. HUMAN BODIES have been found in certain caves in the state of Tennessee, U.S.. with the lower limbs dislocated at the knee joints. In Kentucky similar remains were found 40 years ago. It is supposed to have been the general practice of the people in bygone ages, whoever they were. A NEW GOLD FIELD.—A new gold field is about to be made known. The Mercurio of Valparaiso, of the 19th April, contains an interesting article on recent gold dis coveries in the Peruvian territory. The territory is in the hands of the Chuncho Indians. It i 3 considered that these regions will surpass in wealth the gold fields of Australia and California. A " MEDIUM" IN AMERICA.—II is related that Mrs. Sarah Tamlin, of Auburn, U.S., was an excellent " medium" for a couple of years ; but, after her accouche ment, she ceased to hear the sounds ! But they attended and followed her infant. A Professor Miller called when the child was 6 months old, and it is said got an inter. view, through the baby, with La Place, and thus solved several mathematical problems. Bah HIRANI SANDERS, of Ashippum, Dodge County, Wis consin, U.S., is supposed to have murdered in cold blood a youth named Edwin Blinds, from Oswego, who, against his will, was courting the daughter of Sanders. Sanders is in gaol, awaiting his trial. Poor Bunda went to invite his lover to a ball, and he was never seen to return from the house, nor has he been seen since. THE BLASPHEMY which hangs upon the tongue of many American speakers is truly horrible. At the Abolition Convention, in Boston, some days ago, Mr. Henry C. Wright said he was " An atheist in anything which sanc tioned slavery." " I would put my heel," he continued, " upon any government which sanctioned slavery. If God sanctioned slavery I would put my heel upon him. Yes, I would refuse to obey such a God. I would put such a God upon the auction block, and sell him like a beast." ANTI-SLAVERY IN FRANCE.—A Paris correspondent states that as Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was driving out the other day with her host, (the well-known advocate, Jules Fare,) and hostess, the gentleman was suddenly arrested by the police, and all persons subsequently com ing to see him at his house are watched and taken into custody. The protestant journal, the Lien, also an nounces that Uncle Tom's Cabin has been placed in the index of forbidden books. FIRE IN THE Woons.—An extensive fire has been raging in the woods on the Ottawa River, north of By town, Canada. A district sixty miles in length and forty broad has been desolated, and fences, bridges, houses, and mills been consumed, and cattle and flocks, and even human lives, been destroyed. Very many sawmills and gristmills have been burnt, and about two hundred fami lies have been rendered houseless. A heavy rain stopped the fire. A DREADFUL FIRE, occurred on Thursday at Batig. nolles, at the entrep6t of the Rouen Railway. So rapid was its progress, that out of forty-seven horses in the stables, thirty-eight perished in the flames, and the shrieks of agony and struggles of the poor fettered animals are said to have been almost as afflicting as though they had been human beings. Twelve hundred pipes of wine and a prodigious quantity of brandy and other merchan dise, were consumed by this occurrence. INDIAN POSTAGE.—A. secret worth knowing ! How to avail yourselves of the cheap book postage in India. If you send a half-pound book from Calcutta to Lahore by " dawk banghy," under the most liberal Indian rules it will cost you in the conveyance 13 annas. If money is a greater object with you than time, send your book to a friend in England, Scotland, or Ireland, at the charge of four annas, and let him re-direct it to Lahore, whither it will go for four annas more. Thus the book is carried some 12,000 miles for eight annas, and you save five annas by the process.—Hurkaru. CLERIC AL LONGEVITY. The Hampshire (Mass.) Gazette gives the following instances of clerical and family longevity :—Rev. Solomon Williams, father of Hon. Eliphalet Williams, of Northampton, preached his half century sermon in Northampton • Hon. Eliphalet Williams' grandfather preached his half century sermon in East Hartford, Conn. ' • Rev. Solomon Williams, great grandfather, preach e d his half century sermon in Leba non, Conn. ; and Rev. William Williams, great-great grandfather, preached his half century sermon in Hat field, Mass. ACQUISITION OF AN INDIAN COTTON DISTRICT.—The Nizam has decided upon ceding to the British Govern ment the territ u.y which it demanded of him in lieu of his debt and stipulated annual payment to the contingent. The terms of the agreement are certainly favourable to his highness. In consideration of a rcvLaue of 36 lees of rupees (.£360,000,) being given up, the English gr, vc . :ll ., meat foregoes debt due by the Nizarn, and re mits an annual payment of 10 lacs (-£400,000). The newly ceded district (Berar) is a continuation of the valley of Kandeish; it immediately adjoins the company's collect orates of Kandeish and Ahme,:nugger, and is the richest cotton district in India. UNCLE TOMITUDES.—So far, says the Albany Even ing Paper, as the condition of American slaves and the hopes of American emancipation are concerned, nothing could be more unfortunate and ill-timed than Mrs. Stowe's visit to England. Her book was quietly but . . - surely working out a mighty moral and social change on the slavery question all over the world. But the Euro pean visit will create and stimulate counteracting in fluences. The English nobility, press, and people will utter and publish so much that is arroeant and offensive, that an American sentiment azainst British interference will be aroused and united. We may not like slavery, and our course in respect to slavery may be wrong ; but _ as no right either to lecture or reproach us. Our slavery is an inheritance. We received it from England. We have struggled hard for emancipation. One-half of the states of the Union are free. But if we are to hope for anything more, Englishmen must let us alone. Our people, however ill we use the red and the black races, will not brook reproof from a nation that intro. duced slavery here, and has deluged, and is deluging a largo portion of the world in blood to subiect Ii dia I Q a bondage worse than our slavery.

THE successful results of the last Half Century have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACAS SAR OIL possesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific bas failed. This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—produces a thick and luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandruff— and makes it beautifully soft y curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recom mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine-comb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcen. dant lustre.

TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN FAMILY ME DICINES.—These medicines have long been in use, and PR. innumerable testimonials in their favour. They are made up wholly of Vegetable Substances, contain no mineral of any kind, and are perfectly safe and certain in their action on all persons, young or old. DR. TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA is the great purifyer of the blood and the most efficient alterative probably that is known. It eradicates all acrid humours. dis eased particles, and morbid substances from the blood, flesh, and bones—its assimilation to the gastric,juice of the stomach causes it to pass rapidly into and unite with the vital current, thus creating new, pure, and rich blood. Hence its wonderful efficacy in Scrofula Mercurial Taint, Scald Head, Erysipelas, Rheumatism, Gout , Cutaneous Eruptions, Chronic Sore Eyes, and all other maladies arisingffrom a bad state of the blood —hence, too, its value as a jOnic, in cases of languor, great debility, and lassitude, nervous prostration, weakness, and tremulousness from any °fuse. It is inestimable in Female Complaints, in disease . of the Lungs, Liver, Stomach, Me sentery, Kidneys, &c. Ladies of delicate constitutions, suf fering from any disorganization, with pale, emaciated coun tenances, feeble and/weak, nervous and irritable, would do well to use the Safsaparilla. This invaluable medicine pro duces the most salutary influence upon the nervous system, the circulation, the organs of nutrition and secretion, and being taken into the system by absorption and digestion, is conveyed into every minute part of the body by the circulating current, thus diffused everywhere—made omnipresent—exercising a healthful efficacy on every nerve and Hood vessel—on the brain, the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, and spleen, the skin, membranes, glands, and lymphatics—the bones, ten dons, and muscles—the blood, bile, gastric juice, lymph, chyle, &c., eradicating every morbid agent, every poison— invigorating all weak organs, enriching impoverished fluids, and affecting an entire renovation of the whole system: Half pints, 2s. 6d. ; Pints, 4s. ; Small Quarts, 4s. 6d.; Large Quarts, 7s. 6d. ; Mammoth Bottles, holding near two large quarts, ll s . THE ELIXIR OF HEALTH, like the Sarsaparilla, has met with great and deserved success in the cure of Female Com plaints—both are peculiarly adapted to the constitution and ailments of females and almost neVer fail in those diseases pe cuter to the sex. The Elixir is excellent in Colds, Coughs, Bronchitis, and other diseases of the Lungs and Chest, Pleurisy, Palpitation of the Heart, &c. It is a splendid remedy for Liver Complaints, Disease of the Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Sour Stomach, General Eruptions, Nervous Diseases, Sick Headache, Dropsy, Salt Rheum, and all Bilious Disorders. It cleanses out the whole system of acid, slime, worms, bile, &c., and like the Sarsaparilla, when used in the spring and fall, effectually puri fies the blood and secretions of bilious and other morbid mat ter, and thus prevents a host of other acute and chronic diseases. Half-pints. 25. 9d.: Pints, 48. 6d. DR. TOWNSEND'S VEGETABLE PILLS hold a prominent place among his family medicines, and are greatly esteemed by all who have used them. As an aperient medicine, as a cleanser of all the foul and viscid humours of the stomach, as a regulator of the bowels and general secretions, and as a great and gentle preventive of the numerous complaints of the in testines and labouring organs of the body, these Pills cannot be excelled. Most of the Pills which are offered to the public are merely of a purgative or drastic character, and hence their limited usefulness, and often injurious results. They, more over, operate on parts or portions of the larger or smaller intestines, which is a proof of inefficiency not only, but of po sitive iijury, whereas Dr. Townsend's Pills produce an equal i and steady movement throughout the entire alimentary or intestinal canal, diminishing the quantity of the circulating mass, equalizing the circulation, and reestablishing a healthy state of the biliary organs, stomach, and intestines. Whi ever these Pills have been introduced into a family, no othe are permitted to come—the difference is to oo great, too glaring, always displace that which a worthless, and is ri ght that it should be so.—Boxes is. lid., 2s. 9d., a n d 4 5 . 6d. 0,,,,,inc wiu DR.

A son of Professor Carus. private physician to the King of Saxony, has recently instituted a course of experiments in relation to tee movement of tables by animal electricity —or by whatever power it may be—some notice of Which has appeared in the journals of Germany, accompanied by a certificate to the facts alleged from the pen of the elder Carus. The experiments of the younger Carus have led him to construct a table in this manner:—The table is round, of common soft wood, about three feet in diameter, and has an opening in the centre of the under side, which enables it to rest upon a pillar of glass, some 2e feet high, and turn upon it freely. This glass pillar is sustained by a heavy block into which it is inserted. The experiment with this apparatus is performed by several persons, three, four or fire sitting round, laying their hands upon the table, so that the little fingers of each person shall be upon or beneath those of his neighbour on either side. Now on moving all the little fingers simul taneously for a seace of three to five minutes, the table begins to turn on its pedestal, as upon an axis. A west curious fact iu this experiment is, that the motion is either to the right or to the left, according as the right or left fingers are al-ove or below. In this manner, says W. Carus, the experiment comes into the circle of real science, and is a worthy subject for investigation. The elder Carus shows the evident relation existing between this new discovery and certain experiments in moving copper wheels and plates, which are familiar to the stu dents of electro- magnetism. In Prussia divers singular experiments have been m ade. At Heidelberg the whole " faculty of jurists" operated, and in eight minutes set a nut wood table on the twirl, and this so rapidly that the gentlemen of the bar became giddy in their efforts to follow the movement. At Vienna " the fluid" communicated itself to other articles of furniture, which all twisted and turned as if moved by band. The Times' correspondent says :—" Being some what sceptical, I last night assisted at an experiment at the house of an eminent scientific man. The party con sisted of some twelve or fourteen persons. Six of these, three of either sex, seated themselves round a slightish mahogany table, standing upon a tripod leg, with castors. The chain was formed by th e h an d s o f all being placed flat on the table, and the little fingers of both hands being crossed over those of the persons sitting right and left. Those outside the ring, having mat ked the bearings of the room, as well as the original position of the table legs, with chalk, carefully watched the operation. In less than eleven minutes, a jerking, oscillating movement was per ceptible— then a cessation—then a few more jerks to the left and right—then commenced a slow rotatory and somewhat progressive motion to the right and northwards; this in a few seconds was followed by more rapid motion, which obliged " the chain" to stand up and follow the movement, until at last the table spun round in the same double direction, with such velocity as compelled the chain to relax their hold, when the table, after half a dozen turns, remained stationary. It must be obcerved that the experimenters sought by pressure to impede the rotatory motion, and this so forcibly that not only the casters indented grooves in the floor, but the flat slab of the table unscrewed and would have fallen from the stem, had it not been supported by two of the party. A sec end trial was made a few minutes later with the same results, but with this difference, that the effect was not produced • until the expiration of 3-1 minutes." In Paris the table-moving question, more than a nine days' wonder, has at length forced itself on the attention of the Academy of Sciences. Amongst the vast mass of letters and reports detailing experiments, which have been sent to the Academy, the presiding authorities se lected one of M. Seguin, senior, a distinguished savant, to be read at its last public sitting. The statements made in this document were of the most extraordinary kind-- one of them being, that a table when acted on was made ' to move to the notes of a piano. M. Arago was so astounded at them—and, it must be added, so incredu lous with respect to them—that, before he would allow the paper to be read, he sent to M. Seguin, to entreat him to reflect seriously on the responsibility he would incur, in the presence of the scientific world, in letting them go forth to the public under the sanction of his name. But M. Seguin, who, from being a stubborn sceptic, has become a devout believer in the tables, answered that he was ready to endorse a good deal more than he had said, and so his paper was read. M. Aragon after the reading, intimated, in brief but vague terms, that his belief is, that the movement of the tables is caused by muscular action. This, however, he alleged, is no novelty, as " Mr. Elliot, a watchmaker, relates in the ' Philosophical Transactions' of some years ago that two cocks having been hung to the wall, a foot apart, one of which was going and the ether standing, the latter after a while began going too, being set in motion by the imperceptible vibrations transmitted from the other through the solid body between them—and it even con tinued going after the first one was stopped." But the wonders of table-moving are witnessed nearer home. A citizen of Chester says :—" Being a sceptic 0 0 the point, I had not cared either to try the experiment or to see it tried ; but, returning home one day, I found eat household putting it to the test. One of my best and largest tables was in the very act of passing through the parlour door into the ball. The legs were, stra nge to say, a little raised abo ve th e fl oor. Y ou can b et t er con ceive than I can de scr ib e th e sort of feeling w hi c h came over me. I was at o nce a b e li ever, notw i t hstanding i f I my obstinate doubts. Th e " ta bl es were t ur ned," an I could only gaze and wonder. On recovering my first sur prise, I had presence of mind enough to scrutinize the . cause, having so undeniable an experiment for the pur pose. I found, on questioning two of my domestics, who had evidently been the successful operators, that it was done entirely by the application of their fingers in the manner usually prescribed. All they could distinctly tes tify to, however, was, that they had perceived a tension of the nerves in the arm, and a deadening effect on the palms of the hands,—in consequence of the exertion of their simple will, on touching the table, in obedience to which (by mutual agreement) the table made for the door. Whether electricity, or galvanism, or magnetic influence were the connectin g li n k, o f course they could not say. ' The Preston Guardian says :—Yesterday, we formed one of a party at Mr. G. Cartwright's, optician, when a common deal table, upon a centre pillar, was used suc cessfully. After experimenting in table moving, four parties placed their hands (in the usual way) upon the table, which stood upon a flagged floor. One of the four said, " Tell us how many letters there are in name ?" One of the three feet of the table fell and rose fourteen times, thus giving fourteen letters, which was correct. Another question was—How many articles are contained in bands, no one in the room being informed on the subject but the person who had posses sion of the articles, which consisted of a ring with shc keys. The table gave a sudden circular movement, and then the feet rose and fell six times. Other similar questions were answered, the majority of them correctly/ but some few decidedly incorrectly. The previous day Mr. Dearden was much more successful, at his own house, where a party, whose address includes 26 letters, was correctly informed as to the number, be" the rising and falling of th e f oo t o f t h e ta bl e, eachfall, of course, making a rap upon the floor. The number of dogs kept in the establishment of a person present was also told, and a vast number of other questions were answered, by similar indications. On Wednesday evening we formed one of a party at Mr. Joseph Gillow's, Frecchwood• street, being the first experiment we had seen. Along with four others, we sat with our hands upon a small mahogany table connected in the usual way by joining our own thumbs and touching the little fingers of our next companions. In less than a quarter of an hour, the table began to move rapidly, and at the desire of the experi menters, travelled from one room to another. A small mahogany stand was next tried, with still greater success, as it marched towards any one it was wished, or in any di rection. One of the experimenters was a daughter of Mr. Gillow, aged 12 years, who desired all the others to retire from the table, which she immediately got to march out of the room into the lobby. and then, step by step, up a very numerous flight of stairs, along the landing at the top, and finally into the drawing-room. This experiment she has repeated several times this week. We watched her movements very narrowly, as the table was taken uP the stairs, and noticed that she only touched it with her thumbs and little fingers. PREMATURE BALDNESS.—Mr. J. Sergeant, bookseller , of Linton, Cambridge, has made public a curious case of a young man named Haylock, of Ashdon,- whoie hair came off entire from some very unaccountable cause, and left him in a state of premature baldness. He purchased from Mr. Sergeant several popular preparations, which he applied, but without - any effect whatever. At last, however, he made trial of the Macassar Oil of Messrs. Rowlands, of London, and exhibited to the most in credulous the proof of its efficacy in a thick crop of hair. Mr. Sergeant permits a direct reference to him on this very interesting fact.—The Observer. OUR CANADIAN COLONIES.—In the course of seventy years—from 1783 to the present—Uppe r C ana d a has ad , yenned from little beyond a wilderness—the home of toe red men—to that of owning a population exceeding 1,000,000 persons ; Lower Canada possesses a population of 900,000, having, in point of numerical strength, in' creased 100 per cent., since 1828. Upper Canada has still more rapidly progressed, as the number of inhabi tants there, in the year last mentioned, was only about 185,000, thus giving an advance of 450 per cent., in the course of the past quarter of a century. British North America :—Acreable extent, 218,340,000 acres ; popula tion, 2,500,000_. trade with all nations, 70,200,000 dollars• HORRIBLE MURDER IN AN AMERICAN L UN ATIC ASYLUM.—On Wednesday, May 25, a singular tragedy occurred at the Insane Hospital at Somerville. Mme' Strong, of Vermont, an aged a nd ver y f ee bl e person , was missing. The alarm was immediately given, and a search instituted for her in all directions. In the course of few minutes she was found in the room of Mrs. - Jamesua' f another lunatic, lying on the bed, in the attitude ,° f prayer, and looking directly down upon the body, whi c s 7 was covered by a sheet. There was apparent a sligLi bruise near the right temple, and another on the throat: but no indication of a struggle having occurred betwee7, the two women, and there was no discoloration of the face ,pf Mrs. Strong, whose body, when found, retain t much of the natural warmth of life, except that the fee were cold. Immediate and active restorative means 'O rt:, used, but without effect—she was dead. Mrs. Jarnea °o was asked how Mrs. Strong happened to he in her roolj and what had taken place to occasion her death. Alt a i many evidences of entire delusion, she yet gave a natura l and consistent account :—" I heard Mrs. Strong ns"'l for light—this was her constant habit—it occurred to r. that the Lord had delivered her into my hands, and tu r t a if there was any more light in the other world, she she t i l th see it. She had been plaguing me for many months vi: 00 this inquiry, and now, one of the attendants being,g_'be out and the other preparing dinner, I determined r°,,, rid of the annoyance. I accordin g ly !lipped out Into the gallery and invited Mrs. S. i n to m y room. She o ff with me willingly, she had on two caps, I took thena,,,,e and tied them round her neck, the strings broke: k :: 15 , stood still, close to me, making no resistance , so i han ds the Lord had given her to me. I then put my dowcrli around her throat and choked her. I then laid her took ° on the floor softly, so as to make no noise, alreaJy* it as hard as I could—but it was no use—she e was at one of my stockings, and put it around her n an ec a k s , P dead. I felt her pulse, and I knew it. While th at ho this I said my prayers, and thanked the he trus had permitted me to thus glorify His name. and alsomatter.
