GALPANISIVI.

ALDINt, now in London, lately exhibited
at the house of Mr: HUNTER, some curious expe-
riments on the body of a 'dog newsy killed, by
which the company then present were exceedingly
astonished at the powers of Galvanism. The head
Of the animal was cut off. The head and body
were put beside each other, on a table previously
tabbed with a solution of ammonia. Two wires,
communicating with the Galvanic trough, were
then applied, the one in the ear, the other at the
arias of the dead animal. No sooner had those ap-
.plications been made, than both head and body
.were thrown into the most animated muscular mo-
- . tions. The body started up with a movement, by
which it passed over the side of the table: The
head equally moved; its lips and teeth grinning
violently. A curiosity has been expressed ro have
these experiments tried on a criminal newly executed.

sta,pieitin of being concerned in a shocking murder
counoitted upon Samuel Mathews, in Dulwich
Woodaniere brOught before .the Magistraren, at the
Police Office„ Union hall, when they underwent a
long examination.
The first witness was ThettnaS Davy, a wateh_
lean and Constables of Dulwich paiish, .who deposed,
that on Tuesday niorniag, the 28th of Deem-
her, after having gone his rounds; between tang.
and two o'clock,' he saw the prisoner Sprague,
and the boy 'Robert Bowers, it a little distance
horn his_ watch-bast ; and on their corning Up,' he
entered aintacooVetsationwith abets ; and on their
telling him they were going., to sweep, Mi. gala
Rees chimney' at aix o'clock in the !mooing,
the night being wet and cold, he gave them some
straw out of his box to sit upon, when Sprague told
hiin they had come froas Dorking the day before, and
had pitched-their' tent withinabout two huadredyards'
of old
.Mathews'a cave, on the Common. SPrague;
in consequence of having thus introduced the name
of old Mathews, continued the subjed, by saying he
had that aftetncion or eve-a:int (Witness did not re.
member which), beery to See Old Mathews as he lay
in his hut.; and that qben he or they (Witness could
not 'say. which) spoke to him, the old man was very
angry, and said,, Go along, go alorg, ! I. have
nothing. to sell, nothing to give , I have nothing
at all for you." The Prisoner 'then remar,:ed
to Davy, that, Mathews was, an odd sort of man.
At six o'clock the Prisoner Sprtgue and the
Boy went to . Mr. Satinet's. Davy 'heard of r}u
murder of Math.ews,, when the conversation hr
had held over night with Sprague immediately oe'a
curled to him, and afrom the circumstance of the
Prisonets having told. bins they had the daybefore
only. removed 'their tent from Dorkiog, suspicion
was exeitedin his mind, that 'the Prisoner kisesv of
the murder. His being out at two o'clock, after so
much lei& as a walk kom linking to Dulwich
would necessarily beget, when his- busineas did not
call for him until six, atreogthened bins its this
opinion, in cooservertee of which he gave inferno.:
tion, anti caused the Prisoners to be apprehethard,
James Brown,' Servitor to iFartner in the neigh,.
bourbood,:said; he has going to fetch up his horses,
_and (as he often did) siopt vy's,box, when he
saw the Prisoner, Sprague,„and the boy. He amt),
horated the el retiistanee of old Mathews fOrtnieg a
part of Sprague's conversation; and. added, that
Spr'gue said, when they went to his hut he old
man seemed very frightened. ,
The Prisoner, A.rtl.v• Rowerb op being, ashed
,what account he could give of himself, said he was
a native td. South Carolina, and came to. this country,
where he get hig living by gonsg ;shout; selling tri.
fling articles; doing any little job he coold get, tie.
He maid'he was no rehajon of Sprague's, b.ut.lived
with
,his wife's daughtera_and its the same
.taut.
corroborated the account of their having come
from ,Dorking might before the murder wits
committed on I.l.ll.athes% F., at whose cave or but
he positively 'denied es es to. have been. Ti.ey,
when they could not get permission to sleep iit the
barns or outheauses,of the Farmers, generally pitch..
ed their tam as near a farmhouse as they conk!.
On the Sunday, they were encamped in a hose near
the Half Moea, and on Monday morning streak
their tent, and. marched. to Sydenham Ummt9n,
where. they again .pitched their resat; ifur, the
greater part of .the day (Monday) he said, his
wife and himself begged through the town 'of
wick, and just lsefOre dark reached the tenta Tisay
were all assembled there by four o'cloek...The boy
was then sent to Dulsalch to buy some tea ; and not
returning so aeon as they expeded, Sprague and his
wife went out, as they said, to meet hint. They
were gone out about half an hour. On their return,
however, they cooked their supper, anti were ail
in bed. by eight o'clock. He heard Sprague say
to the boy, they were to go to sweep Mr. Satinet',
chimney in the morning at six o'clock: Betwee4
one and two, however, Sprague got up andcalled
the boy ; said it was a very tight niorning, and
they must get out or they should lose the job.
Bowers did not, accompany them,. nor did lie again
see them' until eight o'clock in alse morniog .; and
at 'breakfaSt, 'remembers Sprague
.to have mentione4
his stopping at the WatCh.boX, OS they had gut.
much too soon. .181 t this time Sprague gave his
wife two shillings. He did not hear of the death
of old Mathews until tweive o'clock io the day.
It appears,' that when begging in Dol.N is i,, some
mutton had been giyen them ,by, 'Mt t k, the
butcher, at whose shop 'the old man changed his
half guinea.
Bowers said they were *wed to (Tett thenei'gLa
bourhood by some Gentlemen, and on the folkwaig
day, when they were about removing towardi
Greerestich, they were apprehended.
..
On Bowers being very :closely examined by the
Magistrates, as to the fad of his cutting ans. sticks,
he said, he had cut two, (which, from theftiesc► ip.
tione answer to the one with which it is suppos‘d
the Murder was committed):
The stick, however, was not produced, but will
be on their next examination. They were remanded
to the New Gaol.

An English Gentleman some time since, when in
Paris, booot. of a merchant there a considerable
quantity of Champagne, Claret, and .Buigundy,
which the latter engaged, for a certain price, to
deliver at his house in London. The price- was lin.
mediately paid, arid a few days since the Gentle.
man, who has lately returned home, received ad.
vice •-that his Wine' was arrived, upon which ttvre
was a duty 'so pay :of twenty pounds ;, and . that un-
iess he removed it in a certain number of days, he
would have also 'to pay a veiyconsideriible dernur.
rage. So much for doing things in a snug Way.
The body of a man, Ilabited like a laboaring
gardener, was found floating in the lake on the
grounds of Mr. Bosanquet, at,Low Layton, on
IVlonday labt. Ic is'sqposed, trot the appearance
of the body, that it roost have been in the water a
month at least, whete :it was concealed from public
view by the •willow..trees. The remains were con.
veyed to the public.linuse at 'Laytonstone, whet,

I ?RCM Tits NEW-YORK, DAILY ADVGItTZSEIt.)

li. the fall of tlioo, I was on an an excursion on
horseback, through the plains that are situated be.
tween the Sascatchevan and Missouri`Rivers, along
the rocky mountains, accompanied by Mr. Than'''.
son, a gentleman in the N. W. Company's employ,
five Canadianist and an Indian guide. Returning ,
back to the North, we followed the course of the
Bow-River, into the heart of the mountains, with a
view of examining them, and on the '3oth of No.
vembcr, at noon, we halted at the foot atilt first
ridge to graze our horses, and ascertain our lati.
tilde, At. a little distance ahead appeared a herd
of small animals, which we took to he a species of
the Deer, in that cotintry very numerous. While
Mr. ThoMpson was taking his Meridian altitude, I
went forward with the Indian to have a shot, and
on a nearer approach was very much surprized to
find, 'instead of Deer, a herd of about twenty ani.
owls that were utterly unknown to. me. Pleased
with this discovery, I advanced very cautiously,
keeping myself concealed from their view, to the
distance of about 6o yards. Here I halted, and was
examining them with all the curiosity natural for a
loan to feil on seeing any unusual appearance, when
the Indian, impatient at my delay, and fearful of
discovery, fired his gun, and killed a female on the
spot. The herd, alarmed by the reort of the gun,
took to Right, and made for the rocks. Angry at
the Indian's impatience, I pursued them with eager.
ness—he followed, and in the course of the afternoon
we killed, four more, twoof which were young ones,
I bad the satisfaCtion to shoot a large male, whose
simians appeared to guide the flight of the rest ; his
superior size anti enormous horns, made hint the par.
titular objeEt cif my pursuit, and I have preserved his
skin, with a view of*present tog it to the Royal So-
ciety of London. During. the winter, I had fee.
(pent opportunities of htinting this tribe, Which has
enabled me to make a few observations on it; that
May be of advantage to Naturalists, in ascertaining
the genus or species of the The dimen.
eions of the above male, taken on the spot where he
Was killed, namely, longitude t ts. 30, West, and
latitude so. North, are as follows, viz. length from
the nose to the root of the tail, 5 feet ; length of
the tail, inches; circumference round the body,
4.72. feet ; he stands 34 feet iiii s length of the
horn 31 feet ; and girth at the head 1.4 feet. The
horn is of the circular kind, proceeding in a tri.
angle from the head like that of the ruin ; in short,
this animal appears to be a compound of the deer
and the sheep, having the body and hair of the for.
titer, with the head and horns of the latter. 'l he
Crees, or Koistiaetaux, distinguish this animal
by the name of My- Attic, or the Ugly Rein Deer.

whence, on the least alarm, it returns to the most
inaccessible precipices, where the hunter can seldom
follow it. His appearance, though rather clumsy,
is expressive of aaiVe strength ; and the nimbleness
of hit motion is surprizing—he bounds from one rock
to another with as much facility as the goat, and
snakes his way through places quite impradticable to
any other animals, in that country, without wings.
I know no animal wisicrt encourages pursuit 60 much
as this ; in his flight he frequently 'turns back and
vats at the hunter with a kind of stupid curiosity,
which is often fatal to him. This ought perhaps to
be ascribed to his ignorance of-two, the mountains
heing'so horribly desolate, that they are by little
frequented, except it be by some straggling war
• parties of the natives. The, MOUntaill Rain, or

Considerable numbers in some parts of the moun.

cal hundred yards above my head, scarcely appear.
big bigger than a crow, and bidding defiance to all
approach. These frightful situations are quite na.
tural to them; they run up declivities of hard snow
or rough ice, with facility.—Pursuing them "in
these situations, I have been obliged to cut
steps with my knife, where they passed, with.
out difficulty. Sometimes you think their pro.

bound they are our of your reach. The .female does
riot differ materially from the male, except that her
size is much less, and she: has only a small black
straight horn, like that of the goat ; the colour and
texture of the hair are the same in both, and they
are all distinguished by the white rump and dark
tail. In other respefts the female greatly resembles
the sheep, in her general figure, and particularly
in the timid good.naluted cast of the countenance.

REPLECTIONS ON CERTAIN TtOCKY SUBSTANCES,
ITIS:PIitTENDEDi HAVE *ALLEN ON
THE EAtTH.
,
Wit Ett an extraordinary fad is reported by men
worthy of credit, who avow 'their having been
witnesses of it, it becomes the-part of sound philo-
sophy to explore and examine such a fact.
If it is supernatural, that is to say, if it is con-
trary to the known and immutable laws of Nature,
we may reject it without hesitation : popular as-
sent gives no weight to it, because the people are
disposed to believe every thin.
But if the fact affirmed, include not in itself any
physical impossibility, even admitting that there
should not be found any satisfaaory mode of ex.
plaining it, we ought not to rejeEt it as, absurd;
but should rather doubt; and wait for new proofs.
If the writings of the
.Ancients report similar
phenomena, accompanied with the same circum.
stances ; if modern witnesses multiply, and are
generally persons of intelligence and _discernment ;
if they join to their recitals particulars, and furnish
proofs of the same ; and lastly, if the fan an.
nounced militates so slightly against the laws of
nature, that it may be represented and explained by
a plausible hypothesis, the concurrence of all these
circumstances gives it a very high degree of proba.
bility.
These considerations apply, in all their extent,
to a fact of which much has been spoken for some
time past.
• It is asserted, that certain rocky and metallic
substances hive fallen from the air upon the earth,
at different periods, and in different places.
shlli relate the principal testimonies on which
opinion is founded.
And first, in a letter written from Bemires, in P
the East Indies, by Mr. JOHN WILLI ANti, and ad.,
dressed to the President of the Royal Society of
London, it is related, that on the 19th of Decem.
ber, 1798, towards eight o'clock in the evening, ,
the weather being perfedly calm, the inhabitants
of Benares, and the circumjacent places, perceived
a meteor of a dazzling brightness, and which re.
sembled a large ball of fire. It was accompanied
with a great noise like that of thunder. A great
number of stones fell soon after on the ground, near
the village of Krakut, to the north-east of the
River Goanity, about eleven miles distant from
Bermes. Authentic documents in reference to this
faA were taken on the spot, by order of the ma-
gistrate; they perfedly accord.. Several specimens
of these atones have been sent to Euro;ie; they
have been described and analysed by Messrs. Bair.
non and Howard, Here folloWs the result of their
chemical labours :
The stones are covered, through the whole extent
of their surface, by a very thin crust, of a dark
black, strewed with little asperities, which pro.
duce, when touched, an impression like that of a
skin when lightly'shagreened.
The interior is of a grey color r, of a coarse tex.
ture, pretty much resembling free.stnne. We can
easily distinguish in it iron in the metallic state.
The analysis gives likewise silex, magnesia, oxyde-,
of iron, and nxyde of 'nickel.
The second example is taken from, a letter, dated
at Sienna, in Italy, by Sir Wis. 1-lAtatt.Tort. It
'announces, that on- the 1 ith of July, 1794, in the
height of a very violent storm, there fell at Sienna
stones of different magnitude. 'Their fall took
place about eighteen hours after a fierce eruption
of Mount Vesuvius, distant aso miles. This let.
ter was accompanied with a specimen of one of those
stones. It exhihited the same exterior characters •
as those of J3enares, and the analysis traced in it the
same sub'stanees, although in proportions somewhat
different.
• The third example is that of a similar fall, which
took place in Yorkshire.
,On the 13th of Decem-
ber, 1795, a stone weighing 561bs. fell with a
great number of explosions, like discharges of artil..
lery. The stone, when, taken from the earth, was
hot and smoking. It presented the same exterior
and interior characters as the two preceding.
A fourth example is that of a stone which fell in
Bohemia, on the 3d of July, 1753. It yielded the
same results.--Its specific weight was 4281.
We shall confine ourselves to these fads, because
they are announced in such a manner as to acquire
much probability. ".We have seen," says the re.
porter, "Specimens of these stones; they all pre.
sent the charaders included in.the preceding descrip_
tion.
14 We could find, in the writings of the ancients,
a great number of recitals, which agree pettedly
well with the foregoing, but, without going so far
back, we shall quote a remarkable passage found. in
some observations of Freret, on the Prodigies report. I
ed by the Ancients-.
The famous Gassendi, whose accuracy and
knowledge arc both well known, relates, that on
the 27'th of November, 16:7, the sky being very
clear, he saw fall, about ten o'clock in the morn-
big, on Mount Vaisien, between the towns of
GuillaUme and Pesuc, it., Provence, an inflamed
stone, which appeared about four feet in diameter.
It wasbordered with a luminnus circle of difretent
colours, pretty much like the rainbow. Its fall was
accompanied with a noise like that,of many Onnons
firing' at once. This stone weighed fifty-nine
pounds; it Was of a dark and metallic cJour, and
extremely hard."
This description of ClsseNni is perfeElly con-
formable to that of Mr. How A RD, and gives a great
probability to the lad we are examining.
But, what Confirms it in a still stronger man.
net, is, that all these stones, composed of the same
principles, include 'nickel, a, substance which is,
rarely 16tind nu the .surface of the earth ; and. like_
iron in the metallic state, 'which is never
seen in the produCts of volcanoes.
We carmot, therefore, attribute the fall of these:
stones to vokanie erruptions, anti we have seen
. that there also exist moral proofs Which are repug.
Pant to this mode oleXpliCation.

On Tuesday morning Maurice Fitzgerald, A
watchman in ,Welbeck-street, brought a woman to
Mary-le-bonne watch-house, whom he found naked
at half-past one o'clock in the morning on his beat.
She could give no account of herself; but it
,ap-
peared that she was a married woman, 'and of good
charatler, and being at times deranged in her mind,
she stole out of her husband's bed, anti went in
that manner into the.street. On her being missed,
they went our, and on inquiry, found she was
taken to the watch.house; on which her husband
brought her clothes. She was on Tuesday taken to
the Marlborough-street Office, when she told Mr.
BrtoptE, the Magistrate, that, when a child, she
had the misfortune to fall out of a window, wh.en.
her head was fatlured, which ‘ caused her at times
to, be in a dreadful state. Moreover, she com-
plained of the cruel usage of her husband, who, she
said, often beat her about the head: She requested
being sent to an infirmary. On inquiry, Mr.
$K.01)1 E found all that the poor woman had stated
to be true, and ordered that she should be taken
proper care of.
