C ORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL
RAILWAY.

At a highly respectable and influential public MEETING of
the Inhabitants of Falmouth and its vicinity, favourable to the
construction of a direct Railway to Exeter, held in the Guildhall,
Monday, Sept. 16,
JAMES BULL, Esq., in the Chair.

the following resolutions were unanimously passed :
That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the projected coast line
of Railway from Falmouth to Torpoint, "with a very doubtful
passage across the Hamoaze, on the lower part of the Tamar,"
and a distance of a mile and a half from the beach, to join the South
Devon line, would be of little comparative advantage if effected,
and is highly objectionable, as tending to prevent the formation
of a eentral line of railway, which would alone be beneficial
to the county of Cornwall, and that it does net comply with
the principles laid down by the Railway Department of the
Board of Trade as the basis for all future extensions of railway
communication, viz., " The advantages to be obtained, In a
national point of view, in completing or extending important lines
of railway communication; the amount of local advantages afforded
to the towns and districts more immediately affected ; the engineer-
ing circumstances of the line, as far as may be necessary to form a
general judgment of the' Character of the undertaking ; the esti-
mates of cost of construction and of traffic and working expenses
so far as may be necessary to judge of the probability of the tine
being completed and efficiently worked ;" and by making Plymouth
the real terminus of the Railway, must evidently prevent a more
western port from reaping the advantages of Its position in a com-
mercial point of view.

That by a direct line of Railway from Exeter, instead of a coast
line by Plymouth, -by which the Cornwall line will be a mere
branch of the South Devon line, there will be a saving of up-
wards of twenty miles, which is of great importance bdth as re.
gards time and expense, and, in the words of Captain Beaufort,
the Hydrographer to the Admiralty, "There can be but little
doubt that Falmouth will again have the mails, and, moreover, be..
come a port of far greater consequenee than it has yet beers."

CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL
RAILWAY.

At a highly respectable and influential public MEETING of the
inhabitants of Penryn and its vicinity, convened by the Mayor, and
held at the Guildhall the 21st day of September, 1844,

THOMAL GREY TRENERY, Esq., in the chair,

the following resolutions were unanimously passed :

That it is the decided conviction of this Meeting that a Central
Railway from Falmouth to Exeter is the only line which combines
all the requisites for such a mode of communication through the
county of Cornwall, and Is also entitled to support, as calculated to
restore the packets to Falmouth Harbour, and to afford all those
facilities for the transit of passengers and traffic which are required,
both in a national and local point of view, besides securing to the
port of Falmouth all the advantages of its geographical position.
That in the opinion of this Meeting the proposed railway to Tor.
point, " with," in the words of Captain Moorsom, the engineer, " a
very doubtful passage across Hamoaze," on the lower part of the
Tamar, is highly objectionable, and in no respect calculated to
afford that amount of accommodation to the great mass of the
population of Cornwall which they require, and none to that of the
North of Devon, and by tending inevitably to transfer the trade
and commerce which would be concentrated at the most western
port to its rival Plymouth, would be most detrimental to the in.
terests of this county; and that this Meeting pledges itself to give
such South Line its most determined opposition.

CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL
RAILWAY.

At a Public MEETING of the Inhabitants of Redruth, held on
Tuesday, the let of October,
WILLIAM DAVEY, Esq., in the chair,

the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :-
1. That this Meeting cordially recognises the principles pro-
pounded by the Railway Department of the Board of Trade for re-
gulating their inquiries into all proposed schemes for the extension
of existinglines of railway, via.:—" That regard should be had to
the advantages to be obtained in a national point of view ; to the
amount of local advantage afforded to the towns and districts more
Immediately affected ; and to the engineering circumstances of the
line; and is decidedly of opinion that a central line of railway, in
preference to a coast line from Falmouth to Exeter, completely em.
braces these important objects.
2. That in a national point of view it is of the utmost import-
ance that the connection of Falmouth harbour with the metropolis
and the great manufacturing districts in the north of England and
Scotland should be encted in the shortest possible space of time,
and, therefore, with the view of securing to the country generally,
as well as to the county of Cornwall, the full advantage of " the beat
port in the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the mails
for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our
transatlantic possessions," as well as to insure the convenience of
passengers, and the cheap transmission of morehandixe, a central
line of railway from Falmouth to Exeter is pre-eminently entitled
to the support of Cornishmen.
3. That in addition to affording the greatest aecommodation to
the greatest number, it is especially essential, in a local point of
view, that a railway should secure the quickest and cheapest
means of transit, not only to the London markets, but to those of
the midland and northern distiicts, of those early and rare vegeta-
bles and fruits for which the western part of Cornwall is so oele.
brated, and which would form se considerable a portion of traffic, as
well as to ensure to our fishermen a profitable sale of that inimitable
supply of the finest fish with which our coasts abound, and that a
central line of railway can best effect those objects.
4. That, from the report of the Committee appointed at a county
meeting convened by the High Sheriff, for the purpose of obtaining
information as to the feasibility of constructing a railway through
Cornwall to Exeter, it appears that a survey of the central line was
made in 1840-41, by Captain Moorsom, C. E., in which he states,
" That a Central Line combines the greatest amount of accom.
modation, both local and general, with the least drawback in respect
to the works involved and the expense incurred in construction and
working."
5. That from the said report it also appears that, from traffic
returns actually made and carefully revised, such line would, after
deducting 40 per cent for working charges, yield a profit to the
Shareholders of upwards of V. per cent.; whereas it appears, from
the prospectus of the projectors of the Plymouth and Falmouth
Railway, that the estimated returns on the capital will be only
" 61. per cent. and upwards," thereby clearly proving that, even
as a speculation with a view to profitable investment only, the
Central Line is best entitled to public support ; and that there are
good grounds for believing that, if the Central Line to Exeter be
properly brought before the country, it will at once obtain the sup-
port of Cornishmen and capitalists generally.

CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL
RAILWAY.

At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Bodmin and its
neighbourhood, convened by the Mayer, on a requisition of the
inhabitants,
JOHN WARD, Esq., Mayor, in the chair,

.he following resolutions were unanimously carried :

That, however much it may be to the private interest of asso.
elated companies, or of individuals, to promote the formation of
other railways through this county, and whatever may be the
plausibility with which such undertakings are urged upon the at-
tention of the public, this meeting sees no reason to doubt the cor-
rectness of the recorded opinion of the county, that a central or
direct line from Exeter to Falmouth is indispensable in a national
point of view, and would afford the greatest amount of local ac-
commodation.

'that as affbrding the best line in a national, local, and engi-
neering point of view, the projected Central Railway may be as-
sured of the sanction of the Board of Trade, and as approved by the
landowners through whose property it passes, it is placed beyond
the reach of successful opposition In Parliament ; whilst, by run-
ning through, or bordering on, and connected with, the principal
towns and populous mining districts of the county, it will receive
the support of the commercial and mining interest, and by offering,
as shown by the estimate of traffic, a profitable investment for
money, there is no longer reason to doubt that it will command the
requisite capital for carrying it into effect, thus removing the only
objection ever urged against a Central Railway, even by the promo-
ters of the Southern Line.

That, looking to the large and wealthy district on the north of
Bodmin, to the increasing importance of the trade at Wadebridge,
and to the fact that Padstow (the harbour of which has been lately
placed, by Act of Parliament, under the superintendence of Com-
missioners with powers for its improvement) forms the most conve.
nient port for embarkation to the south of Ireland, this Meeting
trusts that an effbrt will be made to afford this part of the county
a railway in communication with the metropolis, by bringing the
main trunk of the Central Line of Railway into immediate con-
nection with the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway, and that the
Padstow Commissioners and the Directors of the Bodmin and
Wadebridge Railway will aid in forwarding so desirable an object.
That a memorial from this Meeting, in favour of the Central
Line of Railway, be forwarded to the Board of Trade.
That the Members for the county be requested to give their sup-
port to the projected Central Line of Railway between Falmouth
and Exeter, as being best calculated to promote the public interests
of the county, and that the Mayor be requested to forward a copy of
this resolution to the county Members.
That the town of Bodmin being the place at which the assizes,
quarter sessions, and all the county meetings are held, requires a
rapid and direct means of communication with all parts of Cornwall,
and the adjoining county of Devon, as also with the metropolis.
That the Members for the borough, be, therefore, requested to co-
operate in furtherance of the proposed undertaking, as tending to
the prosperity of the town and borough, and that the Mayor be re-
quested to forward a copy of this resolution to Sir T. S. Spry and
J. D. Gardner, Esq.

At a numerous and influeutial public MEETING of the Inhabit.
ants of the town and neighbourhood of Penzance, held at the Guild-
hall, on Friday, the Bth of November, 1844. by requisition,
JOHN BATTEN, Esq., Mayor, in the chair,
the following resolutions were passed unanimously :
That it is thedecided opinion of this Meeting that the Central
Railway is the only one calculated to meet the requirements of this
town and neighbourhood, and the county in general.

That this Meeting is quite convinced that in a national point of
view the Central Line will Insure greater facility of intercourse
and certainly of communication than any tine that should depend
on " the doubtful passage across Hamoaze."
That a memorial in support of the Central Line be prepared
for presentation to the Board of Trade.

That a Committee be formed for the purpose of conferring
with the Committee of the coast line, with the view of inducing
them to co-operate in carrying out a measure which they have
so repeatedly stated to be of such vital importance to the county.
That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to Edward
William Wynne Pondarves, Esq., and Edmund Turner, Esq.,
for their generous determination to maintain the interests of the
county, by withdrawing their support from the Plymouth and
Falmouth line, when they found that a Central Line was at.
tainable.

That the Members of the county be requested to promote by
every means in their power, the Central Line, which is of such
essential importance to the welfare of this county.
That the Mayor and Corporation be requested to co-operate In
carrying out so important an object to this town and neigh-
bourhood.

At a public MEETING held at St. Columb, on Wednesday, the
23d of October, 1844,
HUMPHRY WILLYAMS, Esq., In the chair,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
That the statement which has been made by Mr. Tilly to this
meeting has fully satisfied it of the feasibility anti superior advantage
of a Central Line of Railway through the county of Cornwall, in a
national and provincial point of view.
That this meeting will promote a Central Railway by every
means in its power, and call particularly on the members for the
county to give it their best support in the House of Commons.

At a numerous and highly respectable public MEETING of the
inhabitants of the Borough of Truro, held at the Town-hall, on
Monday, the 28th of October, 1844,
NICHOLAS F. BASSETT, Esq., Use Mayor, in the chair,

,he following resolutions wore unanimously passed :

That this meeting is convinced of the perfeot practicability of
the Central Line of Railway through Cornwall and Devon, and of
its great superiority over the proposed Coast Line from Plymouth
to Falmouth, both In a national and local point of view.
That a railway with a single line, interrupted by " the very
doubtful passage across the Hamoase," is wholly unfitted to the
wants and requirements of this county.
That the following memorial to the Board of Trade in favour of
the Central Line be adopted by this meeting, and that the Mayor
ire requested to sign the same on behalf of the meeting; and that
the Members for this Borough be requested to present the same
to the Board of Trade, and to give their strenuous support to
the prayer of the memorial; and that a petition to the House of
Commons in favour of the Central Line, assimilated to the memorial,
be prepared and taken from house to house for signature, and that
the Members for the borough be requested to present the same at
the proper time, and to support it in the House of Commons.

Exeter, Nov. 9, 1844.—At a public MEETING of the Inha.
bitants of this city and neighbourhood, held this day, in compliance
with a requisition most numerously and respectably signed,
The Right Worshipful the MAYOR in the chair,

the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
That the city of Exeter and its neighbourhecxl, from its popula-
tion and geographical position, is entitled to the advantages of the
railway system on a more extended scale than it at present enjoys ;
and that this meeting considers that the construction of a direct
line of railway from London through Yeovil to Exeter, and its con.
tinuation through the centre of Devon and Cornwall to Falmouth,
would be an undertaking of great national importance, and highly
advantageous to this city, and especially entitled to the support of
all who feel interested in its prosperity.
That this Meeting regards most favourably the construction of a
railway to Barnstaple, through Crediton, which will open a corn.
munication between the North of Devon and the various lines of
railway which may be concentrated at Exeter,

That this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion to promote
and carry out the objects of the foregoing resolutions.

CRETARY to the PROMOTERS of the GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY from DUBLIN to GALWAY.
Sir,—The interest which I feel in tha construction of a Railway
to the West of Ireland, induces me to ask you fir an answer to the
following questions, In order to enable myself and others to Judge
who are the parties most likely to accomplish this desirable object,
and therefore moat deserving of public support.
First—Who aro the promoters at present forming your Provi.
sional Committee, and upon what number of shares has each mem.
ber of the Committee paid the deposit P
Second—What Is the whole amount of deposits actually paid on
the share.) for your Company, and where is such money now de.
posited ?

Third—How many, and which of the persons who have signed
the declaration published by you, and dated 11th instant, in favour
of your project, have proved their confidence by taking shares in it,
and paying the deposits thereon,
and what is the aggregate num.
her of shares so taken ?

Fourth—Has any account of the traffic on your line been
taken or any calculation made of its amount, and if so, what is the
amount of revenue calculated on, distinguishing the amount ex-
pected to be received for each separate branch of such traffic ?
The public have a right to expect a plain and full reply on these
points, and if not given at once, I must only infer that they cannot
be satisfactorily answered.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TIMES.—Our readers scarcely need to be reminded
of the ingenious mode of operation adopted by the
authors of the Constitution of the United States for the
purpose of conducting the election of the President with
the requisite order and dispatch. In the month of No-
vember preceding the actual election, the whole consti-
tuency of each state names as many electors or delegates
as it sends members to Congress, who are invested with
the function of electing the President, and are of course
pledged to what is termed " the ticket" of one or other
of the leading candidates. The votes of these electors
are subsequently transmitted by sealed lists to the Pre-
sident of the Senate, by whom they are opened and
counted in the presence of Congress ; so that, in reality,
except in those cases in which neither candidate has a
majority of the whole number of electors appointed,
when the House of Representatives proceeds to
ballot for the President, the preliminary nomi-
nation of electors is the most important and
tumultuous part of the .proceeding, and when there
are but two candidates in the field, the final result of the
contest may thus at once be ascertained. This nomina-
tion of the presidential electors has just bsen completed,
and it appears to leave no doubt as to the triumph of the
Democratic party, and of their candidate, Mr. Polk.
The surprise, and, we must add, the apprehensions and
regret, which this event will produce in Europe, are in-
creased by the fact that it is the great States of New
York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, which have turned
the scale. Far from exercising that moderating power,
and, if we may so speak of auxthing in America, that
Conservative influence which might seem to belong to
their position, their wealth, their mercantile interests,
and their exemption from slavery, Pennsylvania has
in this instance obeyed the same influences which
have already connected her name with bankruptcy
and anarchy, and New York has followed her example.
Of Mr. Polk we know nothing, except that he has
achieved a triumph over the most able and respected
man in the Union, although he was scarcely more
known in that union a few months ago, than ho now is
in Europe. He has not been chosen for his past ser-
vices, or his political experience, or for civil eloquence,
or for military fame; for these qualities would doubtless
long ago have brought him within our notice, if Ift had
possessed them or any of them. But the less of personal
greatness or influence he could boast of, the better was
he fitted to answer the expectations of his adherents.
Whatever he may turn out to be hereafter, we can only
judge of him at present as the delegate or instrument
of the passions by which he has been thus strangely
raised into this conspicuous position. As such, then,
we must remark with no ordinary concern, that with
the single exception of the tariff question, on which
he is pledged to a more liberal commercial
policy than his opponent, his election to this im-
portant office is the triumph of everything that
is worst over every thing that is best in the
United States of America. It is a victory gained by
the south over the north—by the slave states over
the free—by the repudiating states over the honest
ones—by the partisans of the annexation of Texas
over its opponents—by the adventurous and unscru-
pulous democracy of the new states, and the foreign
population in those states, over the more austere and
dignified Republicanism of New England, No one in
Europe has failed to observe the rapid decline or the
United States in public morality and in public estima-
tion, in their policy and their principles as a nation, and
in all that renders a people permanently strong and
prosperous, during the last few years, and more especially
during the accidental administration of Mr. Tyler. The
death of General Harrison was indeed in more ways than
one a national, and more than a national, calamity ; but
we had not ceased to entertain the hope that the party
which brought him into office four years ago would now
be strong enough to carry Mr. Clay's election. It ap-
pears that the evil has already gone too far. By pander.
ing to the passions of the populace, Mr. Tyler has not
only let loose, but instigated the worst tendencies of de-
mocracy. To his treaty with Texas, which drove Mr.Vau
Buren from the field, Mr. Pell: may be said to owe his
election. Until that question had been brought forward,
the name of Polk was unknown except at Almack's. The
Whig candidate has perished in the attempt to stem
this fierce current of misdirected popular excitement.
The Whig party have been beaten, when everything
depended on the possibility of restoring moderation and
probity to the Government of the country by their in-
fluence ; and it is scarcely too much to say, that Texas
has already given a President to the Union. If Mr.
Polk wiliert to the pledges under which his electors
are likely to raise him to the chair, he is pledged to a
foreign war. The grounds on which General Jackson
and his friends have given their support to Mr. Polk
are before the world ; and we have already combated
their arguments and their assumptions. They amount
to the strongest expressions of hostility against the sup-
posed influence and designs of Great Britain on the
North American continent ; and either the means they
have used to gain the popular suffrages are as insincere
as they are false, or they hold that the acquisition of
Texas, by arms, if necessary, is the first duty of a Pre-
sident of the United States. They can hardly escape
from the dilemma in which they stand between excessive
rashness and excessive deceit ; but we cannot expect
that they will have the energy or the power, any more
than Mr. Tyler has had them, to resist or control the
popular excitement which has brought them into office.
It has been observed by the most judicious ob-
server of the institutions of the United States, M.
de Tocqueville, that political parties in America
rally round an individual as the symbol of their own
theories ; and that parties are strongly interested in the
election, not so much with a view to the triumph of
their principles under the auspices of the President elect
as to show by the majority which returned him, the
strength of the supporters of those principles. It must
not be presumed that the success of the democratic
party on this occasion is so complete as at once to have
decided in their favour all the great questions of domes-
tic and foreign policy. If the election of a President
irrevocably decided the policy of a United States Go-
vernment for the next four years, the country would be
not only agitated but convulsed by such a contest.
But the strict limitations imposed by the Constitu-
tion on the power of the chief magistrate. and more
especially the control exercised by the Senate of the
United States over his relations with foreign Powers,
render the triumph less signal and the danger less im-
minent, Be the indiscretion of a President what it
may, ho can scarcely plunge the country into war or
confusion as long as the Senate remains faithful to
its trust. What, therefore, we chiefly deplore on the
present occasion is, the defeat of those men who were
most able and most willing to have laboured to restore
the financial and political credit of their country ; who,
if they were unable to shake off the curse of slavery,
would at least have striven to prevent the consequences
of slavery from becoming the guiding and general law of
the public policy of the union ; who would have ab-
stained from rapine, maintained peace, and adhered to
the doctrines which once shed honour on the characters
of American statesmen. Clay and Webster are still en-
titled to that name ; but the time is past when they could
guide the destinies of their country, and by casting theta
off in the hour of trial, the people of the United States
have only rendered the vices of their present condition
more conspicuous, and prepared the way for the increas-
ing evils and excesses of their future career.

—CIIRONICLE.--The Government journals continue
to devote a good deal of their efforts to the circulation of
the fact that the Anti-Corn-law League is dead. There
is quite an extraordinary degree of anxiety manifest in
the repetition of the statement. Now and then, indeed,
we find that " dead" is to be taken as a rhetorical ex-
pression for " dying," for it cannot be concealed that the
monster still moves, although, by all the rules of art, it
ought to have been stiff and cold long ago. Thus we
were informed a couple of days ago, that the League was
at the last gasp of its wicked existence, and might
therefore be permitted to escape the legal punishment
due to so foul a conspiracy. It so happens that this
decaying association was then, and is at the present
moment, carrying on a new and vigorous agitation in
Lancashire, the spirit of which sufficiently appears in the
proceedings at the Rochdale meeting, reported in the
Chronicle of Saturday. Mr. Cobden and his friends are
in the right track when they endeavour to make an im-
pression on the county constituencies. So far as opinion
goes, an immense progress has been already made.
The confidence of the farmers in the continuance
of the corn-law, which was a main source of its
strength, has been everywhere shaken, and in a largo
proportion of cases wholly destroyed. Whether
protection be good or bad, men have ceased to rely on
it. Nearly everybody thinks that sooner or later it must
go. This uncertainty has provoked numbers to examine
into the merits of the principle, who took them for
granted before, and such examination rarely ends In
confirming the errors which preceded it. The more
clear headed amongst the farmers U persuaded in their
heart of hearts that a clean ewe 4- of the corn-law, and
a corresponding adjustment of rents, would leave them
infinitely better off than they are at present. But many
things conspire to prevent such men from speaking out,
and still more from acting upon their real opinions. The
power of their landlords, the terms of existing contracts,
framed with reference to supposed protection prices, and
the disagreeable consequences of opposing prejudices in
their own class, concur to prevent a direct movement
amongst the more enlightened farmers in favour of free
trade. Thus the faith in protection and the desire for
its continuance may be, to a great extent, undermined
without altering many votes at county elections, and, of
course, without changing the character of the county
representation. Under such circumstances, the qu"stion
presents itself whether there is any necessity for leaving
the county representation everywhere, as it is practi-
cally, in the hands of a class so dependent on the land-
lords 1 and it is obvious that no such necessity exists in
counties large manufacturing population.
Thefo containingrty-shilling county qualification is within the
reach of many who could hardly obtain tray other fran-
chise. Mr. Cobden has shown how this qualification
may be obtained, and how, by means of it, a new and
value.bio class may be added to the constituences of such
a county as Lancashire. It is not uncommon for indus-
trious operatives to accumulate eueugh for the purchase

property qualification is presumed to indicate. A
class of such freeholders, too, would have that deep
interest in the preservation of peace and order and
the stability of sound institutions which is Flip•
posed to - arise from having " a large stake in the
country," but which, in fact, is quite as sure to be found
in the possessors of small properties. Very important
indirect advantages would thus arise. New links be-
tween different classes would be created, new motives to
industry and accumulation would be presented, and the
whole :structure of society in the manufacturing districts
would be improved by the influence of a body of humble
but independent proprietors. That thii rcheree will be
carried into effect with the usual enf-n:y ( f the League

MISS MARTINEAU.-MESiERISM.

The Athenwum of Saturday contains a Icing communi-
cation from diss Martineau detailing the particulars of
a wonderful cure which, she says, has been effected by
' mesmerism, after a serious illness of five y, ars an'i a
' half. Of the character of the disease under eiiich she
' suffered she thus speaks :—" This is riot the place in
which .to give any details of disease. It will be sufficient
to explain briefly, in order to render my !eery feud&
gible, that the internal disease under which 1 suffered
appears to have been coming on for many yean ; that,
after warnings of failing health, vilieh I careless;). over-
looked, I broke down, while travelling abroad, in June,
1839 ; that I sank lower and lower for three years after
my return, and remained nearly stationary for two more
Precedin last June. During these five years I never
-
telt wholly at ease for one single hour. I seldom hail
severe pain, but never entire comfort. A besetting
sickness, almost disabling me from taking food for two
years, brought me very low, and. toe+ her with other
evils, it confined me to a condition of almost entire
stillness—to a life passed between my bed and my sefa.
It was not till after many attempts at gentle ex-
ercise that my friends agreed with me that the cost was
too great for any advantage gained ; and at length it
was clear that even going down one flight of stairs was
imprudent. From that time I lay still, and by means of
this undisturbed quiet, and such an increase of opiates as
kept down my most urgent discomforts, I passed the last
two years with less suffering than the three preceding.
There was, however, no favourable change in the disease.
Everything was done for n e that the best medical skill
and science could suggest, and the most indefatigable
humanity and family affection devise, but nothing could
avail beyond mere alley estion. 'Ty dependence on opiates
was desperate. My kind and igilant medical friend—
the most sanguine man I know, end .the most bent upon
keeping his patient hopeful—avowed to me last
Christmas, and twice afterwards, that he found himself
compelled to give up all hope of affecting the disease—
of doing more than keeping me up, in c dlateral respects,
to the highest practicable point. This was no surprise
to me, for when any specific medicine is taken for above
two years without affecting the disease, there is no more
ground for hope in reason than in feeling. In Jene last I
suffered more than usual, and new measures ef alleviation
were resorted to. As to all the essential points
of the disease I was never lower than, immediately before
I made trial of mesmi rine." Miss Martineau then gives
the following narrative On Saturday, June 22, Mr.
Spencer Hall and my medical friend came, as arranged,
at my worst hour of the day, between the expiration of
one opiate and the taking of another. By an accident,
the gentlemen were rather in a hurry—a circumstance
unfavourable to a first experiment. But result enough
was obtained to encourage a further trial, though it was
of a nature entirely unanticipated by nee. I had no
other idea than that I should either drop asleep or feel
nothing. I did not drop asleep, and I did feel something
very strange. Various passes were tried by Mr. Hall ;
the first that appeared effectual, and the most so for
some time after were passes over the head made from
behind, passes from the forehead to the back of the head,
and a litle way down the :pine. A very short time after
these were tried, and twenty minutes from the begin-
ning• of the seance, I became Sensible of an extra-
oreinary appearance, most unexpected, and wholly
unlike anything I had ever conceived of. Some
thing scenic d to diffuse itself through the atmosphere,
not like smoke, ner steam, nor haze--but most like aclear
twilight, closing in from the windows and down from the
ceiling, and in which one object after another melted
away till ecareely anything was left visible before my
Hide-open ee es. First, the outline of all object. Vs tts
blurred; then a best, standing on a pedestal in a strong;
light, melted quite away; then the opposite bust; then
the table with its gay cover; then the floor, end the
ceiling, till one small picture, high up on the opposite
wall, only remained visible, like a patch of phosphoric
light. I feared to move my eyes, lest the sineuier ap-
pearance should vanish; and I cried out, ' 0 1 deepen
it ! deepen it 1' supposing this the Precursor of the
sleep. It could not be deepened, however; and when I
glanced aside from the luneinous point I found that I
need not fear the return of objects to their ordinary ap-
pearance %%bile the passes were continued. The busts.
re-appeared, ghost-like, in the dim attuosp!wro, like
faint shadows, except that their outlines, and th.• parts
in the highest relief, burned with the same phosphoric
light. The features of one, an Isis with bent head,
seemed to be illumed by a fire on the floor, though this
bust has its back to the windows. Wherever I glanced
all outlines were dressed in this beautiful light; and so
they have been, at every seance, without exception, to
this day; though the appearance has rather given way
to drowsiness since I left off opiates entirely. This ap-
pearance continued during the remaining twenty mi-
nutes before the gentlemen were obliged lo leave roe.
The other effects produced were, first, heat, oppression,
and sickness, and, for a few hours after, disordered
stomach, followed, in the course of the evening, by a
feeling of lightness and relief, in which I thought I could
hardly be mistaken."
The second application of mesmerism was made ley
Miss Martineau 's maid. " Mr. Hal'," says Miss Mar-
tineau, " was prevented by illness from coming over, too
late to let me know. Unwilling to take my opiate while
in expectation of his arrival, and too wretched to do
without some resource, I rang for my maid, and asked
whether she had any objection to attempt what she saw
Mr. Hall do the day before. With the greatest alacrity
she complied. Within one minute the twilight and
phosphoric lights appeared ; and in two or three more
a delicious sensation of ease spread through me—a eoel
comfort, before which all pain and distress gave way,
oozing out, as it were, at the soles of my feet. Durieg
that hour, and almost the whole evening, I could no more
help explaining with pleasure, than a person in torture
crying out with pain. I became hungry, and ate with
relish, for the first time for five years. There was no
heat, oppression, or sickness during the seance, nor any
disorder afterwards. During the whole evening, lb.
stead of the lazy, hot ease of opiates, under which pail
is felt to lie in wait, I experienced something of the iR•
describable sensation of health, which I had quite lost
and forgotten. I walked about my rooms, and was gey
and talkative. Something of this relief remained tillthe
next morning, and then there was no reaction. I was no
worse than usual, and perhaps rather better.
" Nothing is to me more unquestionable and more
striking about this influence, than the absenoe of all re-
action. Its highest exhilaration is followed, not by
depression or exhaustion, but by a further renovation.
From the first hour to the present, I have never fallen
back a single step. Every point gained has been steadily
held. Improved composure of nerve and spirits has
followed upon every mesmeric exhiriration. I have been
spared all the weaknesses of convalescence, and carried
through all the usually formidable enterprises of return
from deep disease to health, with a steadiness and tran-
quillity astonishing to all witnesses. At this time, before
venturing to speak of my health as established, I believe
myself more firm in nerve, more calm and steady is
mind and spirits, than at any time of my life before.
So much in consideration of the natural and common fear
of the mesmeric influence as pernicious exeitementeeets a
kind of intoxication."

Miss Martineau mentions several incitlents.—" An•
other striking incident occurred in one of the earliest of
my walks. My mesmerist and I had reached a headland
nearly half a mile from home, and w tre resting there,
when she proposed to mesmerise me a little---partly to
refresh me for our return, and partly to see whether any
effect would be produced in a new place and while a
fresh breeze was blowing. She merely laid her hand on
my forehead, and it a minute or two the usual appear-
ances came, assuming a strange air of novelty from the
scene in which I was. After the blurring of the out-
lines, which made all objects more dim than the dull
gray day had already made them, the phosphoric lights
appeared, glorifying every rock and headland, the
horizon, and all the vessels in sight. Ono of tLe dirtiest
and meanest of the steam tugs in the port was passing
at the time, and it was all dressed in her,,venly radiance—
the last object that any imaginattc would select as an
element of a vision. Then, and often before and since,
did it occur to me that if I had been a pious and very
ignorant Catholic;, I could not have escaped the persua-
sion'chat I had seen heavenly visions. Every glorified
object before my open eyes would have been a revelation,
and my mesmerist, with the white halo round her head,
and the illuminated profile, would have been a saint or
an angel."
