opened and examined by Doctors Mott, Stevens and
Ackerly, at the Castle Garden. These gentlemen
will no doubt publish interesting statement, which
will put all skepticism the subject of its being
genuine, completely al rest On placing the body
on the tables, (says the Daily Advertiser it appear
ed to be wrapped in twenty six folds of linen, which
10y age, had been firmly matted together; but
upon placing the knife at the head and with dficul.
ty cutting straight line to the feet the easement
was easily separated from The body, which was found
to be in hard, black and perfectly dry state. The
bones were hard the flesh rather soft, the arms,
hands and fingers were in perfect state and ina
natural position by the side Of The body. A large
quantity of glutnous substance was found within the
body, which on burning was of an agreeable ndOur.
No doubt can now remain that the mummy eshih

by the pains taken in embsming it, that it the
