THE PAPAL STATES.

A letter from Rome of the 20th says :—"After
the Consist ory hid a few days ago by the Pope,
the new Cardinals Antonuc3i, Orfei, Milesi, De
Silvestri, and Mertel, ass-.lnbled in the Sixtine
Chapel, and took the usual oaths in ro esence
of the cardinals who are chiefs of orders, and
of the functionaries who figure on such occa-
sions. The consisturial advocate, Mgr. Gian-
santi, delivered in presence of the Pope a
discourse on the beatifications of the venera-
ble srvant of God, John Sarcander. This done,
the new cardinals, kneeling at the foot of the throne,
kissed first the foot and then the hand of the Pope,
on which his Holiness raised and embraced them.
Each of the new cardinals then went round to the
other cardinals and gave• them in succession
the kiss of peace,' a-A the latter complimented
them on, their elevation. • Then the new cardinals
seated themselves for a moment in the places pro-
vided for them ; and then returning before the
Pope prostrated themselves, and received from
him the red hat, in sign of the blood which
Jesus Christ shed for us and of that which they
must be ready to shed for the faith. The puhltc
ceremony being now ended, the Sacred College
went in procession to the Sixtiue Chapel, where a
Te Deum was sung. The procession haviDgfeturned
to the hall, a Secret Consomry was held, at whiob

numerous nominations of new b'shops in foreign
countries were announced. The Pope afterwards
placed a ring on a finger of each of the new
Cardinals, and announced to them the titles which
they are to bear. The Pope then retired to his
private apartments."
Another letter from Rome of the 20th states'that
Cardinals Mertel and Milesi, Ministers of the In-
terior and Public Works, had resigned, and been
succeeded by Mgrs. Pila and Amici. The I,t'er
adds that it wa believed Cardinal Milesi was to be
sent to Bologna as legate.

The Moniteur has the subjoined: "It is

The Moniteuea first paragraph on Saturday
mils, thus :—" For sotne time past, foreign jour-
nals amused their r-aders by daily announcemtnis
of pretended changes in the cotrposition of tie
Ministry and of the principal functionaries of
Government. Those rumours are absolutely des-
titute of foundation.

The Government are about to laybefore the Corps
Legisla.if a bill relative to the construction of works
to prevent the recurrence of inundations, which
periodic Ally occasion such terrible disasters in the
valleys of the Rhone and the Loire. The valleys of

BORSE TAMING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Conduit-street, March 25, 1858.
Sin,—As the subject of horse-taming by a pct

ar method excites public interest at present,

ake the liberty of seuclitig you same s riking facto
:pubilsiied all but one by me in thl Zoist) of thc

effects of a well-known process.—l have the honor
;o remain, yours faithfully,

JOHN ELLIOTSON.
" Mot') Park, Athlone, Jan 1, 1843.
" My dear Elliotem,--At Lcrd Ely's farm is a yard-do

. . , ..
so savage and ferocious no-one dare approach him. I wa.
determined to beat him, and in 30 minutes had him fat,
asleep, his last sigh being a deep growl. In presence
several persons I then kissed the dog- on his forehead, an
there left him to awake at his leisure.—Yours most truly
" MARLBOROUGH."

I requested the duke -LI learn the sub3:quen
state or the dog, and the following was the reply
" Bleuhei.n, February, 1843.

" My dear Elliotson,—l have a letter from Ely Lodge
this morning, written by Lord Adam Loftus. I extract a
follows :---4 The dog has been quite stupid ever since.'
" I must new tell you what I have been doing hero. :
have also a very savage yard-dog. I tried him to-day
in ebout 15 minutes he ran into his kennel and hid his eye
from the manipulating process—growling, entitling, au(
barking most furiously, uotwitatantling. I then mad,
the man who feeds him, and who is the only prsoi
who dares go near him, drag him out of his kennel
and nail up a hurdle before the entrance, so as t
keep him effectually outside. I then went to wor.
again, the dog, as you may suppose, being ten times mor
furious. 'ln about 43 minutes I had him so quiet, or
pressect, and stupid, that he dropped his nese severd due,
in the mud around his kennel, and kept shutting an
opening his eyes. Carts and horses, and me,, and bo)
were passing and repasidog, which served continually t
. _

arouse him, so that I could not satisfactorily complete th
task, and leave him dead asleep ; besides whicb, a ht av:
snow storm was falling all the while, and I could not lee
my finger ends. But I completely subdued th.) beast, am
patted him on the hea t before I left.—Yours mos
sincerely, " MARLBOROUGH."

My friend, the Rev. Mr. Bartlett, produce,
mesmeric effects upon a bull, as he thus wrote in,

word :

"My Dear Sir,—lt may perhaps not be uninteresting to
hear of a little incident which occurred to me in the au-
tumn of 1847, when I was in Westmoreland and Cumber-
land. Upon descending a mountain over which I had bee,:
wandering alone, and enjoying the magnificent prospec.
which opened before me, I found myself in a narrow road
between two stone fences, which perhaps separated the
lauds of different proprietors, On one side of the fence,
were cattle and a bull. The bull approached the fence ii
an angry mood and walked along the other side of it
parallel with \me for more than a quarter of a mile; h.
then grew more excited, tore' the ground with his home,
and bellowed fiercely. As I could not but apprehend that
should there be a breach in the wall he might leap over au,
attack me, I, was considering what course it was best t.
take when we came to a very high and strong gate. Upot,
reaching the gate, the bull rushed close up to it and bet•
lowed loudly through it. As I knew that he could neither
leap over nor force this gate, I also approached it, aro
looked him steadily in the face. In about a minute 1
caught his eye, which then fixed upon me. In about an-
other minute a twinkling of the eyelids arose very simile:
to that of a human subject at an early stage of mesmeric
influence. After probably three or four minutes, the eye-
gradually closed, and the Lull remained quiet, and ap-
peared to be as immoveable as if he had been chiselled by
the hand of the sculptor. The transition from his pie-
viously excited state to his perfectly motionless state wa-
in,leed most striking.
" I could not but feel thankful that all &anger from lb
bull was now past, and after looking at hip fixe I form for
a few minutes more, I descended the remain ler of th,
mountain ant did not stop to wake hira.^—Believe use,
dear Dr. Elliotson, very faithfully, Yours,_
" T. BARTLETT.
" Klog4one, near Canterbury, Aug. 23, 18)0."
In Chambers' journal for October 27th, 1850,
is the following account

"A gentleman residing at Oxford'had in his possession
a young Syrian bear from Mount Lebanus, about a year
old. This bear was generally good humoured, playful, and
tractable. One morning'the bear from the attentions of
some visitors became savage, irritable, and the droner in
despair tied him up in his usual ab ate, and went away to
attend to his guests. In a few minutes he was hastily
recalled to see his help He found him rolling
about on his baunthes, faintly moving his paws, and gra-
dually sinking into a state of quiescence and repose. Above
him stood a gentleman well known in the mesmeric world,
making the used passes with his' hands. The poor bear,
though evidently unwilling to yield to this new influencp,
gta,lually sank to the ground, closed his eyes, became mo-
tionless, and insensible to all means used to recover him.
He remained in this state for some minutes, when he awoke,
as it were, from a deep sleep, shook himself, and tottere
about the court, as though labouring under the effects of a
strung narcotic. He exhibited evident signs of drowsiness
for some hours afterwards. This interesting scene tool
place in the pre:ence of many distinguished members
the British Association, when last held iu the Univ..rsity
of Oxford. —F. T. BUCKLAND (son of the late Dean of
Westininster.)"
The distinguished Rev. Dr. Conyers Middleton, in
his Free Inquiry, relates, from St. Jerome, that

" A Bactrian camel of enormons size, which had already
destroyed many people, was taken to St. Hilation, an,,
about 30 men were employed to drag him along with tht
strongest ropes. His eyes were bloody, his mouth foam-
ing, his tongue rolling and swollen, and his strange roaring
above all terrors, up.m which all who were about him
ran away immediately. The Saint came forward, and so
he stood firm with his arm stretched out; and as the be,ist
advanced towards him furious, and ready to devour him,
it presently fell down with its bead to the ground, so thak
all present were ani,zl at the sudden change from-so
great a fierceness to such a tameness."
Middleton regarded the narrative as a fabrication ;
but the account of the energy of the fanat:c de-
votee, the stretching out of his arms with, no
doubt, a determined stare as be boldly advanced—
the falling down of the huge beast powerlessly be-
fore him, and its sudden change from fierceness to
tameness, are a most grapftcally mesmeric descrip-
tion.

In the-last report of the Mesmeric Infirmary
is detailed the mesmeric cure of an epileptic lad,
who was always sent to sleep by the proceks. It is
stated—
" The boy had always bum irritable and rather intract-
able ; now his temper is completely changed. This favour-
able change of temper has been noticed in other cases
in
which mesmerism was used."
