future chemist to develop© better information than we
now possess concerning the relations of electricity, and
its twin (more subtle) element galvanism, to vital eco-
nomy, both animal and vegetable : but, in the mean
time, it has to be thoroughly believed and acted upon
that man has power over this fluid, to control it, and that
its mischief is in no instance of Heaven's ordaining, but
because, notwithstanding its fugitive track has no defin-
able point, people will not understand how they may get
out of its way ; and one or another object comes within
its reach, forming the chiefest attraction. They act can
tiously who allow the freest possible access of air into
their rooms during the' revalence of a thunder storm.
IMPORTATION or TURTLE. The vessel Agnes,
arrived from New Providence (Nassau), has brought 48
head of turtle as a portion of her cargo, and another

this vessel's cargo declares that a number of the turtle
had died on the passage, and had been thrown overboard.
Mr. Robert Matheson has been appointed Clerk of
