EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic despatch,
dated Mostagan, the 3d instant :
The Oran division, which set out from Mostagan on the 7th
ultimo for Mascara, returned here on the 27th in a sanatory
condition, which is satisfactory when the marches and labovs
it has executed are taken into account.

The number of sick left at Mascara, or brought back to Mos-
tagan, does not exceed 400.
The division did not proceed to Saida, because it learned
that the fort had been abandoned and partly destroyed. It was
deemed more useful to pursue the great tribe of the Hachem,
among whom Abd-el-Kader was born, and who have con-
ferred upon him his power. That tribe Lad never expe-
rienc.d the effects of war, and had been foremost in break-
ing through the peace. Pursued during several days it
retreated to the confines of the 'desert, where its horsemen.
3,000 in number, having tried to cover its flight, sustained
some losses. The army then collected the crops in the plain
of Eehris, in order to supply Mascara with grain and straw.
At the same time works for the defence of Mascara were exe-
cuted. Millstones were collected in the neighbourhood, and
in a short that we shall have mills enough to make flour for a
division of 8,000 men.
Our affairs are going on well, but there has been no submis-
sion on the part of any of the tribes.
The division set off again for Mascara with a large convoy.
It is to be engaged in reaping the harvests for fifteen days, with
which to supply that place.
It would appear by our letters from Madrid of the sth inst.,
that a hurricane devastated the district of Navalcarnero on the
3d, simultaneously wi.h the earthquake wrich was felt in Paris
and other parts of France. The Chamber of Deputies was still
proceeding with the discussion of the budget. The Five per
Cents. were done at 26 1-16 for cash.

The Augsburgh Gazette of the 9th states that Sahib Muhib
Effendi was about to leave Alexandria for Constantinop!e, and
would take with him 5,000,000 of piastres en account of the
tribute. The Pacha offered to pay 2,000,000 of piastres an-
nually on condition that the exclusive administration of the
country should be left with him, but that if not he would pay
only 1,000,000.
According to our private accounts from Athens of the 22d
ult., the Greek Ministry was not yet organized. M. Pisca-
tory was to set out in a day or two on a tour through Pelopo-
nessus, Rumelia, and, it was thcught, Anatolia.
Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 30th ult. state that the
health of the Empress was beginning to inspire serious un-
easiness, and that her Majesty had been recommended by her
physicians to repair to Nice, Pisa, or Crimea. M. Barente,
the French Ambassador, was to leave for Paris on the
bth instant, and to be replaced in his absence by M. Casimir
Perier.

Advices from Locarno of the 7th announce that the insnr•
rectionary movement in Ticino was eniircly suppressed. Coun-
tenor Nessi and other chiefs were to be tried by Court-
martial.

to throw the government into the hands of those who had uni-
formly opposed reform, they would be ready to admit that he
had not acted wrongly. He had now, stood the trial of a con-
tested election,' anti received, their unqualified approbation of
he conduct he had pursued. He did not think he Was using too
harsh language when he said, that the contest had been con-
ducted unfairly and in a factions manner.—(Cheers.) He
would tell them why. If Mr. Custs's friends had taken
proper care in canvassing the county to ascertain the feel-
ings of the electors, they must have been perfectly satis-
flirt that it was hopeless to attempt to bring him in. Hav-
ing received 5,550 promises, he was perfectly satisfied, as
he stated on the day of the nomination, that his election was
secure, and, after the show of hands, he bad hoped that Mr.
Chaplin would not have demanded a poll. He had watched
him narrowly, and he certainly seemed for some time to hesi-
tate about it. Giving the other candidates all the unpledged
votes, and allowing neither to take plumpers, but to split every
vote, he had still a majority of 500. He must, therefore, re-
peat that the opposition had bet n most unfair and factious. He
thought their opponents would now be satisfied that the
feeling of the majority of the electors of the Lindsay, division
of Lincolnshire was decidedly oppposed to Tory principles.
—(Cheers.) He stood now, as ever, the avowed enemy of
Tory principles, the advocate of Liberal Whig principles, i.nd
the electors had shown by his overwhelming majority, that
they were still attached to the cause of Reform, and that they
did not wish a Tory Government to rule over this country.—
( Cheers.) For himself he must say, con.idering the misre-
presentations he had had to contend against, no cne would
have reason to go to the House of Commons with more pride
and satisfaction than he should. His friends had fought most
manfully in his cause. They said they would not let a little
man be bullied by two others. The Noble Lord retired amidst
loud cheers. '

Mr. CHRISTOPHER next presented himself, and was also
greeted with a very enthusiastic reception. lie denied that
the opposition to his Noble Friend and colleague, Lord
Worsley, had been at all factious, either upon his part, or so
far as Mr. Chaplin was concerned. He looked to the issue of
this contest as materially bearing on the interests of good go-
vernment and agriculture, in which they were all concerned.
It was impossible for hint to reflect en the result without some
degree of alarm and anxiety as to the effect it might produce
in other parts of the country. If the agricultural interest was
to be supported in the new Parliament, it would not be by the
division of Lindsay, but by the manufacturing districts of
Yorkshire—by the West Riding—(Cheers)—by the city of
Lfncoln, by the city of Westminster, by Dublin, and other
places, having but a remote interest in agriculture. He did
not say this as any disparagement to his Noble Friend, for ever
since they had a seat in Parliament, although opposed to each
ether in politics, they had uniformly co-operated in promoting
the interests of the division. Now that he had been again re-
turned in conjunction with his Noble Friend, the same feelings
should still actuate his conduct. He should endeavour always
to act worthy the confidence of such a constituency, and when
he offered himself again at the next dissolution of Parliament,
he should hope to receive the approbation of a majority of the
electors.—( Loud cheers.)
The return was then filled np, and the chairing took place.
Both Hon. Members afterwards dined with their respective
friends, Lord Worslev at the City Arms, and Mr. Christopher
at the Saracen's Head.

SCOTLAND.
STIRLINGSHIRE, JULY 10.

The vominatiou for this county took place this day at the
town of Stirling.
After the Sheriff had read the writ some delay ensued in
consequence of its not having been decided which
.party was to
be first nominated. Sir M. Bruce seemed anxious to give
precedence to Mr. Forbes, and Mr. Forbes did not appear at
all disposed to avail himself 01 that honour. This lent to a
most ludicrous scene. Sir M- Bruce was seen at one extremity
of the hustings bowing with wonderful condescension to Mr.
Forbes, his Conservative opponent, requesting him to com-
mence the proceedings, whilst the gentleman who was to no-
minate Mr. Forbes was observed to shake his head, thus ex-
pressing no great anxiety to commence the contest. This pan-
tomimic exhibition excited loud laughter from the vast multi-
tude assembled opposite the hustings. At last the Sheriff came
to the rescue, and tossed up who should first enter the arena,
when it was decided Mr. Forbes bhoule commence.

Mr. BaucE, of Kennett, then came forward to propose Mr.
Forbes, of Callender, as a proper candidate to represent the
county of Stii ling in Parliament.
Mr. STIRLING, the younger, of Keir, seconded the nomi-
nation,

The Hon. J. C. Downers, late member for the city of York,
proposed Sir Michael Bruce, the Liberal candidate, and Mr.
Murray seconded the nomination.
Mr. FORBES then came forward to address the electors. He
said the contest was not a personal one. If the electors had
confidence in her Majesty's present Government, then they
ought to elect his opponent, Sir M. Bruce; but if they
thought differently, then he had some claim to their support.
They had heard a good deal of Lord Grey's Government ;
but what had Lord Grey's Government to do with Lord Mel-
bourne's ? But the present Government was not Lord Mel-
bourne's, but the Bed-chamber Government. It had been
called a Liberal Government, bnt a great statesman had pro-
perly termed it a " shabby Government."—(Cries of " He i 3
a turncoat.") He denied that he was a turncoat. He would
admit that the Govsrnment was Liberal in one sense of
the word. They had paid 700,0001. a year out of the public
money to the hangers-on of the Administration. He then
entered at some length into a consideration of the proboble
effects of an alteration of the Corn-laws, and contended that
the fixed duty proposed by Government would be highly inju-
rious to the agricultural interest, and would be of no benefit to
any class of the community. Before we repealed the Corn-
laws, it ought to be clearly proved to us that Prussia, Poland.
and other corn-growing countries would consent to take our
manufactured goods. He expressed his entire confidence in
Sir Robert Peel, and stated, that if elected their Member he
would give the Government about to be formed by Sir R. Peel
his best support.—k Cheers and marks of disapprobation.')
• Sir M. BRUCE made a long speech in defence of the present
Government, amidst the cheers of his friends and the hisses of
his opponents.
The SHERIFF then called for a show of hands, which was
in favour of Sir M. Bruce, when a poll was demanded in
behalf of Mr. Forbes, which is to take place on Monday and
Tuesday next.
Both parties talk confidently of success. On the last occa-
sion Mr. Forbes was returned only by a majority of one, and
was unseated by a Committee of the House of Commons.

SHOCKING TORY OUTRAGE AT
HEANOR-SIX MEN SHOT.

A'''.VEAIf:I,ViX'GNETISM IN FRANCE

Mimi Ours reached Derby on Wednesday of a frightftil
outrage committed near this town by some of the'rufilans
employed by the Tery party. We immediately pro=
ceeded to the spot to institute more particular inquiries
into .the circumstance, which we found to be as fol-

Or. Tuesday night as a few of the banner bearers
who bad accompanied the Liberal candidates to
Ilkeston, were passing through Mr. Mundy's pro-
perty on their return to Heanor, they were severely
attacked and beaten by a number of the Tory " lambs!
On reaching Heanor and relating the circumstance
a number of people decided on going out on the Ilkeston
road to meet the band and the other banner bearers.
This party numbered about 100, and they passed on very
peaceably and quietly until they reached a public house
known as the Mundy's Arms. When nearly opposite
this place a man, who is known, threw a stone into the
air and cried out, " Now, my boys." This was a signal
for a volley from the inn where a large number of the
Tory lambs appear to have been assembled. The yel-
lows bore the pelting patiently for a minute or two. but
their patience being at last exhausted they returned the
volley. Whilst the row was at its height a man, who is
well known at Heanor, was seen running from his home to-
wards the crowd with a double barrelled gun in his hand.
Several people who were near him cried out "For God's
salip don't fire." He, however, regardless, approaching
within gunshot of the crowd, took :deliberate aim at the
heads of the people, and fired one barrel of his gun! We
lament to say that the shot took effect on six men ; all
of them of the Liberal party., One poor man was
wounded in the eye ; another received some twenty-five
or thirty, shots in different parts of his face ; others were
wounded on their temples and in the breast.
An application fur a warrant was on the following day
made to Mr. Radford, a Magistrate of Tory principles,
residing in the vicinity. Mr. Radford, however, de-
clined to grant one until Monday next. Such conduct
appears extraordinary ; but as we are not aware of the
grounds Mr. Radford had for declining, we forbear for
the present making any remarks upon it.
Application has, we understand, been made to other
Justices of, the Peace, who have found no difficulty
whatever in granting a warrant for this man's immediate
apprehension.
We rejoice to say that all the .wounded men . are
doing well.

, .
~
I'Ve believe the occurrence of this outrage will, secure
many votes to the Liberals in lleanor and Ilkeston,
which were previously against them or doubtful.—
Derbyshire Chronicle.

THE CHURCH AND THE TREA-

We have just received a Parliamentary paper, moved
for by that indefatigable friend of the Liberal cause, Mr.
Gillon, and ordered to be printed on the 17th June last,
showing the amount of public money paid to the Mode 7
rator and other' officers of the General Assembly, and for
their law and miscellaneous expenses, of the existence
of which we are satisfied the public were entirely igno-
rant. It appears that the Assembly receives annually
11,0001. out of the public funds, which they apply as they
think fit, and that of this sum the Moderator receives
no less than 200/. a year for doing nothing ! Surely this
is a gross misapplication of the taxes levied from the
whol body of the people. The following is a statement
of the expenditure for the year ending in May, 1840 :

AND ENGLAND,

In England, animal inaF;ii e-tism has almost ceased to be
a subject even otpopOar interest, and has been long dis-
ridied from thelhst of subjects of scientific inquiry; for v, e
suppose that its now sole professor will hardly put for-
ward a claim4ir a love of science in his occasional pub-
lic exhibitions of his own powers and his patients' weak-
ness. But in France it stilt flourishes in all itz folly ;
and we wish we could say that - folly is the least fault
with .which it can .be branded.; for of late, more than
ever in its career,hitherto, linpudentfalsehood, bold chi-
canery, and even blasphemy, have been chief features in
its doctrines and practice.

A few notices of the contents of the Parisian journals,
during the last months, will show what folly, men, se-
rious, and; if the expression may be, professing them-
selves reasonable and honest, can be brought to believe
or to assert, even 'in the nineteenth century ; aud, if they
serve no other purpose, will at least suffice to confirm the
incredulity which every student of medicine should
maintain, by proving what the height of enthusiasm
can mistake, or the depths of charlatanerie can pretend,
to be truth. To prove in one sentence how little mag-
netizers are capable of fulfilling, before competent
judges, the pretensions which they make to the whole
public, or even of repeating those marvels which (when
they are not well overlooked) are easy enough—to prove
this, let it suffice to say, that the sum of three thousand
francs, 'Offered by M. Burdin, to any one who would
bring a somnambulist who could read with her eyes
fairly bandaged over, or could tell what was written on
a paper locked up in a box, has never been won, though
often tried for in the presence of impartial judges : nay,
not, one has ever been found who could see to read
through a single layer of blank paper.
Now we do not mean to say that a somnambulist
being unable to see without her eyes is a proof that
animal magnetism is untrue ; but the fact we have men-
tioned is a proof that these French magnetizers are (not
to waste words) either fools or impostors ; for this sight
through bandages and deal-boards is what they put for-
ward as being often acquired under magnetic influence,
and as having been frequently demonstrated to exist.
Nay, they seem to prefer it as a test of the truth of
their system. M. Gerdy (who might certainly have occu-
pied himself more to his own dignity and to thepublicad-
vantage) has been induced to investigate this power of eye-,
less sight in the choicest somnambulist of M. Pigenire,
hiS own daughter. And what was the result of his 'in-
quiries ? Why, that Mademoiselle Pigeaire'eonld never
succeed in reading, till, by her struggles, she had
managed to displace the bandage that had been put; 'with
much form and much pretence of caution, over her eyes,
and to make a gap above Or below its borders sufficient
to peep through and use her ordinary sight as other
People do. Nor was there any better success with M.
Frappart and his somnambulists : all the trials entirely
failed : all proved quite plainly that the blindfolded
could not see till they had made a chink below, or above,
or on the inner side of the eye. A series of experiments,
by M. Gerdy; on himself and on his friends, proved how
small, how almost imperceptible, a space is sufficient for
some persons to see obscurely through or beneath
a bandage ; and yet in spite of all this,
the magnetizers still believed, or pretended to believe,
that the power of extraordinary vision was possessed
by their patients. What can be said to such men ?
Plainly nothing ; nor can . much be done, till, having
determined whether they deceive or are themselves de-
ceived, they can be consigned to the care of their friends,
or of the public officers of justice. One thing, however,
may be done already : every one may refuse not only
to comply with, but even to listen to, the statements
such men make ; their evidence is altogether inadmis-
sible ; they plainly either cannot, or will not, tell the
truth.

But their feats are far from being confined to simply
seeing without eyes. We find a. M. • Teste professing
with unequalled boldness that a somnambulist of his can
tell by the mere touch, and, it seems, by one touch only,
all the pathological circumstances of any patient presented
to her ; and M. heard, director of the Journal du Hag-
nctisme, not to be outdone, swears that he can either take
to himself or dismiss in an instant the pains and diseases
of any other person. Travelling once in Belgium with a
brother-magnetizer, who was at the time afflicted with
gastritis that he had received from a lady whom he had
cured, M. Ricard, for a grand experiment, relieved him
Of his pain, and took it himself. But, not anxious to
keep his new guest long, he again made it go into his
companion's stomach ; and then, having made the gas-
tritis pass several times from one to the other. they
finished, by common accord with giving it a definitive
con ye.

Of all possessors of personal magnetic power, M. Ri-
card is certainly the most nobly endowed. The story.
just told is far from being the chief marvel that his
Traite du Magnetisme Animale contains. He can make
himself sweat at any given part of his body at and with
pleasure ; and make others do the same : he can alter
the rapidity of any man's pulse in any desired mode and
degree : he cau make any one at will paralytic or cata•
leptic: he can give magnetic properties to bars of iron
by the influence of his epigastrium, and can exercise
his powers, and even cure diseases, at miles' distance from
him : he can remove affections of the severest kind in half
an hour or a little more, though they have lasted for
years. But he does not always exercise his powers for
good ; sometimes he employs them to inflict terrific pu-
nishments, and especially he does this to those of hissom-
nambulists who would mischievously injure him or, the
• patients put under their influence. On these he at once,
mind without pity, inflicts the sufferings they intended
for others. Nor are his magnetic influences powerful on
man alone ; they extend over 411 nature, animate
and inanimate ; a shrivelling, languishing, and
etiolated shrub grew green under the power of
his passes ; and on every side threw out strong and
luxuriant branches. On the other hand, a beautiful tree,
magnetized by his opposed will, shrivelled, lost its leaves,
and soon after perished. Nay, he can influence the at-
mosphere and command meteors ; and he has several
times, at Montpellier, amused himself by dissipating
clouds and stopping rain.
These things are actually gravely and boldly asserted
as truths by M. Ricard, who seems a great authority
among this extraordinary class of dupes or knaves. To
believe a man to be deceived into the idea that he pos-
sesses such powers (if he be not obviously a madman) is
to be nearly as credulous as he ; and it would not be
difficult, as the next step, to imagine one's self possessed
of them. He is, no doubt, a gross impostor, and might
fairly and wisely be left to the usual end of such cha-
racters, were it not for the mischief that his proceedings
would do, Their influence on the health of the public,
and on their intellectual condition, if they are brought to
believe in them as realities, is bad enough ; but it
is not the worst that they can exercise. It
is impossible not to perceive that the miracles
"recorded in Holy Writ are the objects of imita-
tion in all these proceedings. Constituting as they do a •
chief evidence of the Christian faith, which regards them
as possible to God alone, it becomes a matter of no small
interest whether men are to be allowed to profess that
they .possess powers sufficient for their performance ;
and thus to reduce the wonder of a miracle to nothing
more than the crafty exercise of an influence which any
man may acquire. And that this is not a strained
foresight of what may result from these things, is too
evident from what magnetizers themselves advance as the
history of their art. M. Gauthier, said to be the most
used, the most scientific of the modern professors, states
his conviction that magnetism has been practised from
all times, and in all places, either for religious or fur
medical purposes. He follows traces of it among the
Egyptians, Jews, Persians, Greeks, Gauls, and Romans.
To' him, as to all magnetizers, the sacerdotal physicians
of Egypt and of early Greece, the thaumaturgi of all
times, the Apostles, and the Christ himself, were only
magnetizers ; the Prophets and the Sibyls were all mag-
netizers.

One can scarcely without a shudder read such a blend-
ing of the holy and the profane—such an assertion that
the divine power of the inspired, and the craft of heathen
priests, had all one common origin in what any man may
even now acquire. And yet, if the public are made by
fraud to believe that magnetizer:: can do the things that
they pretend, we do not see but that in the very next
place they must be led to regard one of the chief evi-
dences of Christianity to be nothing more than a cun-
ningly devised fable. That such things should be
looked on calmly in France—that the writer from whom
we quote the above passages should make no remark of
disgust at them—is not astonishing. But we shall be glad
if, having thus shown to what animal magnetism may
easily be perverted, we can produce the feeling in Eng-
land that it is not to be regarded as zt harmless folly—as
a thing with which a man may fairly amuse-him Self and
gain notoriety. Its evil moral influence on the patients
subjected to it we long. ago pointed Out '; and it is now
brought freely into th service of the foulest irreligion.
With the exception of walking on the waves, and raising
the dead, there is not a rairacle which it is not deemed
competent to perform.

Ifegarding;however, all these pretences to supernatu-
ral power as impudent falsehoods, we cannot find that
animal magnetism has made any real progress towards
meriting, even in its statements of a lower and more
credible character, the name and position of a science.
Of all that has been done in France, we can find nothing
resembling, or which is not altogether opposed, to proba-
bility. With no more incredulity than every man
should exercise when new and strange things
are proposed to him, we can find no fres
or better grounds than heretofore for the belief
that magnettsm operates in any way except through' an
extraordinary influence upon the mind, exercising itself
With •the more power, and to the production of more
strange effects. in direct proportion to the morbid state
into which the system has been brought by genuine
disease, or by the repeated excitement of the magnetizing
process. Such, we believe, is the case with the two girls
who we regret to say are still exhibited in London ; nor
can we learn that the gentleman who operates on them
has arrived at any results that are fit for the records of
science—at any thing, in short, more than wonders,
which, however, we are bound to add, bear no compa-
rison with those that are said to occur in France.

But whether this be the case or not, it is surely much
to be regretted that these things should be made, by one
who might hold a good place in science, subjects of public
exhibition rather than of private and calm study. We
believe that, in following such a course, 1)r. lilliot;on
only mistakes the way to study magnetism. It will be
greatly to his own credit, as well as to that of his profes-
sion, if he will take this hint that we offer him in all
good feeling, and again enter the ranks of true science,
which his talents and acquirements are so well calculated
to adorn.—Medical Gazette.
