The following fact, says " The Journal des
Debates," cannot fail to be interesting to humanity:
—A lady about 40 years of age, who lived at the
corner or one of the streets in Paris, was struck
early in the month with apa deny. Lavallotte,
the physician, was called in, and restored her
instantly to lite by bleeding in a jagular vein, anti
stimulating the blot to fl iw abut iandy by the
application of a common needle to the exterior part
of the vein and the nerves. It is thus
shown, that the mechanical s:imulant is able to
revive nervous sensibility. and by creating a kini
of peristalic motion, to deduce from the arteries a
great quantity of blood. There is also another
instance of the efficacy of this application in the
case of a Mr. Chatelin, a linen merchant, who has
also been restored to existence under similar circum-
stances. It is trusted that this discovery will be
enerally beneficial. . .

Extract from the Haniburgh Correspundeut of the
2:21 Nov.:—" The thllowing stattment has been
transmitted to us from London The notion has
been circulated very extensively on the Continent,
that the English Government have felt so much
alarm on the suhject of simultaneous meetings of
the populace, expected to take place early in next
month, that they have thought it necessary, as a
measure utprecantion. to make a distribution of
arms among the leading landholders and manutlic-
turers, to enable them to defend themselves against
the Radicals. A similar alarm appears in the
columns of the Courier, and from thence has probably
spread throughout Europe; Lut it is unnecessary
and -unfounded, and you may assure your readers
that our Governmeut have neither thought of dis-
tributing arms, nor would the landholders and
manufacturers have accepted them, being able, if
necessary, to purchase the means of defence With
respect to the Courier, it is not on this occasion
alone that his fears have been apparent, having all
along predicted the Radicals would proceed to such
lengths that the government would be compelled to
use coercive measures.'"
