We understand that Mr. J. Paterson Clark, den-
tist, London, has purchased the estate of Fingask, in
this county. Mr. Clark was formerly a teacher in our
academy; but on removing to London he commenced
the profession of a dentist ; and by his skill and atten-
tion he soon succeeded in gaining " golden opinions"
from the aristocracy of the West-end. The property he
has purchased is beautifully situated on the shores of the
Beauly Frith, about eight miles from Inverness.—lnver-
ness Courier.
Lady Morris died at Brighton on Monday last,
at an advanced age. Her Ladyship was widow of the late
Vice-Admiral Sir James W. Morris, K.C.B.

CHRISTENING OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.---
We can now positively state, that there is no intention

MESMERISM AND PHRENOLOGY.—In our re-
port of the interesting proceedings at the Phrenological
Society on Monday evening, we omitted a very curious
extract from the Penny Cylopcedia, which was read by
Dr. Elliotson :—" One of the most extraordinary pheno-
mena of this species of somnambulism, is the transfe-
rence of the faculties from their usual and appropriate or-
gans to the epigastriunt and other parts of the body—
such as the extremities of the fingers and toes. Another
is the still more surprising faculty of ' Prevision.' By
the faculty of prevision, it is not meant that somnambu-
bulists enjoy an unlimited power of reading the pages of
futurity, but merely that they predict. with the greatest
precision and accuracy, the different symptoms and
changes that are to take place in the course of their
disease. This power is sometimes further extended."—
Penny Cycloprdia, page 239, col. 1.
We regret to record the death of the vene-
rable Master of the Charter House, the Rev. Dr. Fisher,
who died at Kingston on Wednesday last. The Rev.
Gentleman was in his 92d year. By his death there is
also a vacancy in the Canon-Residentiaryships of Nor-
wich. By a somewhat remarkable coincidence, the Rev.
Robert Watts, the Librarian of Sion College, who was
exactly of the same age, died the same day at the Col-
lege. • The Rev. Mr. Watts was also Rector of St.
Alphage, London-wall, and a Prebendary of St. Paul's
Cathodr
