MESMEHISM.—We are requested to give publicity
to the following document, issued from the bank, and
signed by Mr. Dudgson, the manager:—
" Bank, Henry.street, Dublin, Jan. 7, 1846.
"In answer to the numerous inquiries which have
been made respecting the lodgment of a hundred pound
note in the Bank of Messrs. Ball and Co., to be paid to
any person, who shall, by the operation of mesmerism,
describe the particulars of the note, I beg leave to say,
that such a lodgment has been made in this bank, and on
the envelope in which it is contained is the following en
dorsement:—
" ' This envelope contains a bank note for one hun-
dred pounds, which will immediately become the pro-
perty of the person who, without opening the envelope,
shall describe, in the presence of Philip Doyne, Esq.,
and Sir Philip Crampton, Bart., every particular of the
said note, namely— the bank from which it was issued,
the date, the number, and the signatures attached to it,
and who shall read a sentence, consisting of a few
English words, plainly written, and which is contained
in the same envelope with the half-note.'
(Signed) "JAMES DUDGEON."

THE DEAD ALIVE.—On Friday evening, a woman
named Kinnate, occupying a kitchen at No. 23, Great
Barlow-street, who had been out for a short time, re-
turned home, and found her husband, a man of eighty-
two years of age, and who had been for some time in ill-
health, in bed, apparently asleep. She approached and
spoke to him, but on his not moving after she had vainly
endeavoured to arouse him for several minutes, she came
to the conclusion that he had during her brief absence
expired. In a state of great anguish of mind she called
down other female lodgers, who were of the same opi-
nion as herself with regard to dissolution having taken
place. The ceremony of " laying out" was then com-
menced, when, immediately after the jaws were tied up,
the supposed defunct suddenly raised his right arm, and
opening his eyes, demanded to know what was the mat-
ter. His " better half," and the rest of the women, ter-
rified almost to death, rushed out of the apartment,
calling loudly for assistance, and in their hurry to get
wlffkr.e/re w'son,
measure an
intounde

UshNeITI;
SATURDAY.—By the arrival of the Isabella, from
sentty against
f for t o
Charleston, which we have
received .deices up to the 1
LA TER FROMTpHoErt
7th of December, inclusive.
The political news is destitute of interest. Fears were
entertained that the Indians would attack some one of
the Texian frontier settlements.
'The
authorities at
Camanches had been warned by one or two friendly
Indians. The cotton
brisk. The following • an extract of the advices on
the subject :—Since our last advices per the Cambria,
vid New York, our cotton market has risen of a cent.
per lb.. with a stiff feeling on the part of speculators
and factors. We shall be obliged to reduce our esti-
mates of the present crop by the next steamer, as the
southerns are waiting so decidedly on the subject. At
Mobile and at New Orleans the cotton trade had an
animated appearance, and prices were advancing from
c. to c. per lb.
THE MILITIA.—The public, we believe, are aware
of the fact of an official circular having been issued from
the Horse Guards respecting the probable embodiment
of the militia. On account of such circular and other
steps already taken, much interest and anxiety have
been manifested, and many vague rumours have found
free circulation upon the subject. Now, respecting the
calling out, it should be recollected that the Act of Par-
liament authorising the ballot for the militia has been
suspended many years. The result of this is, that the
alterations in the amount of population of the country
must necessarily lead to a very different distribution of
• the quota to be furnished by each county. It is perhaps
not known to many t 1 at during the recess of Parliament
' nothing can be done to ascertain such quota without an
' order in Council directing this to be done, by the deli-
' very of notices at the houses of those liable to be drawn
for this service, upon which return is formed the neces-
sary information to found this data. It is not likely
now that an order in Council will be issued, but that im-
• mediately on the meeting of Parliament a Bill will be
brought in to authorise this measure, and the first atop
• then will be to obtain the particulars above referred to
to
as a part of the necessary measures for carrying übtallno t
' intention of Parliament. Upon this being done
" for each county follows, and then the orders of Govern-
ment as to the duty to be performed • With respect to
the various rumours as to a permanent embodiment for
active service for any l hof time, there are not at
engrotunds for believing such will
present any substantial g
, be the case, but the chance is, that the various corps will
be placed on duty for 28 days only,. and that so far carry-
ing
will sufficiently put the
out tho measure Government
in possession of the knowledge of the amount of means
available, should any unexpected emergency arise.—

ACCIDENT Br FlitE.,AßMS.—Yesterday morning,
between nine and ten o'clock, as a young man, twenty-one
years of age, named Charles :Redford, a carpenter, was out
with several acquaintances, in the Hampstead fields, shooting
small birds, the gun-barrel burst near the brooch, by which
he sustained serious injuries in the face. It is feared he will
be for ever deprived of sight. He was led home by his
companions, and prompt surgical assistance was rendered,
but from the extent of the injuries sustained he lies
in a
dangerous state,
