FRANKLIN AND THE CLAIRVOYANTES.
Professor Gregory has favoured us with the follow-
ing additional particulars concerning Clairvoyant
" revelations" in regard to Sir John Franklin—the
professor, however, is not to be understood as placing
implicit confidence in the accuracy of the state-
ments :

" I have made repeated inquiries concerning
Franklin, both in the case of Emma, at Bolton, and
of another clairvoyante who appeared to see cor-
rectly.

" In August last both these clairvoyantes, unknown
to each other, agreed in stating that the ships were
fixed in the ice, that Sir John was alive, looking
anxious and thoughtful, and that a good many of his
companions had died since I had last inquired.
One of the clairvoyantes (if not both) said
that they had found provisions, and that
some had died in consequence ; either from
a sudden change to full diet or from these
provisions being unsound in quality, but at all
events soon after finding these provisions. IVhetber
these provisions were those lett lately for them, or
possibly part of the stores of Ross's old lost ships
which Emma had often seen at no great distance
from Franklin, I could not ascertain. From Captain
Austin's account of his expedition, it would seem
that Emma had seen and described his ice boats,
which Dr. Haddock could not then understand.
"My impression from all I saw of Emma is, that
she described genuine visions, probably in some cases
true visions of the facts ; but possibly, now and then,
dreams spontaneously suggesting themselves, al-
' though I cannot be sure of this. Certainly we
avoided all suggestions ; and when we asked her
about various matters we observed that she often
persisted in answers quite different from what we
thought of or expected, and also refused to go
further than she clearly saw. She often spoke of her
own accord, of the aurora, and always as of a bril-
liant arch or rainbow of light, playing with beautiful
colours, quite different from what is seen in our lati-
tude. She likewise suffered from the cold every
time she was tried with the writing of any one in
the Arctic regions, even when she did not know what
writing was put into her hand. Her notion of the
time seems to have been, as far as we can see, exact ;
and where she has been less certain, it has, I sus-
pect, depended on her seeing various ships, while
we supposed her to speak only of Franklin's. It will
he remembered that in February, 1850, she saw
Franklin reading prayers on a Sunday morning, and
named the chapter of St. Mark which he read. It is
remarkable that the Gospel of St. Mark is read during
the first part of February in the Church of England
service, as will be seen by the calendar. The 13th Feb-
ru iry v“:s Sunday in 1850, and I know it was about
that period of the month Emma saw this. Now, on the
13th February, the 13th chapter of St. Mark is a morn-
ing lesson for the day. I cannot Lt present state with
certainty whether that was the chapter named by
Emma, but, as well as I can recollect, it was either
the 13th or 14th. This is certainly remarkable, the
more so as both Emma and Dr. Haddock are Pres-
byterians, and she has no idea of the calendar. I
have had several excellent opportunities of examin-
ing Emma since I published my ' Letters,' and I have
also seen and repeatedly examined three other clair-
voyantes, besides several whom I have only seen on
one occasion ; and from the results of these trials I
could quote many very striking instances of clair-
voyant vision, as well as of the instinct or sympathy
by which they detect the bodily state of others, besides
various other forms of sympathy. The more I see
the more fully am I satisfied of the existence of a phy-
sical external influence, while I also admit that one
large class of phenomena, those of suggestion, do not
depend on that influence."—Edinburgh Advertiser.

WAGES A CENTURY SINCE.—The following is an
extract tr
"om a letter dated Bedale, Yorkshire, sth September,
1766 :—Harvest is now pretty busy with us in many parts
of this neighbourhood. Is. 6d. a day is given for labourers,
which in this part is looked upon as extravagant wages.
The wheat is in general very good, and prodigious crops.
Turnips this year will also be very good and plentiful—in
short, never was known, I believe, such plenty of all kinds
of fodder ; but, on the other hand, so great a scarcity of
cattle to cat it. Beef and mutton in our market Still con-
tinue at 31/2d. per lb., and it is confidently affirmed' by
judges in the case, won't be much lower this year. Beet
wheat in our market last Tuesday,laUtwithstanding the good-
ness of the harvest, was near Gs. a bushel."
