The last London Quarterly Review contains an
article founded upon work published by DIR. Alb
ercrombie Of Edinburgh, entitled "Iuquiries con-
corning the Intellectual Powers and the Invest
CATION Of Truth" Among other subjects, that
of dreams is introduced. and in the course OF the
remarks upon it, there IS the following curious
passage:- Dreams are frequ emily produced by
loud sounds; and Dr. Abercrombie quotes case
from manuscript Of DIR. Gregory, where the
same sound produced simultaneously in man
and his wife adream of the same general charac-
ter, viz. that the French had anded near Edin-
burgh. an event which at the time was subject
of general anxiety. The most remarkable how
ever, of this kind of dreaming is gwen by the
same great physician in the manuscript referred
to; and on the authority Of an eye witness.
"The subject of it, SAYS DIR. Abercrombie,
was an officer in the expedition to Louisburg,
in 1853, who had this peculiarly in so remarka
BILE degree, that his companions in the transport
were in the constant habit Of amusing themselves
at his expense They could produce in him any
kind Of dream by whispering into his ear especial
| " il this was done by friend with whose voice
| he was familiar. At one time they conducted
him through the whole progress of quarrel,
which ended in a duel: and when the parties
| were supposed to be met, pistol was put into
his hand, which he fired, and was awakened by
the report. On another occasion they found aim
asleep on the top of locker or bunker in the ca
| bin, when they made him believe he had fallen
overheard, and exhorted him to save himself by
| swimming. They then told him that shank was

Resoired. That We consider the popular excite
ment Of the human passions now prevalent thro'
this country, and which are digni6ed BY the name
of Revivals of Religion, as whirlwindso Of moral
desola,ion IN community otherwise sober and
peacefui-that they make mankind the slaves of

happiness, producing contention and bitterness

Mons and authority of husbands and fathers

ties Of life, aud disgracing the holy religion OF
Christ, which teaches US to lido unto others, as
we would they should do unto us.''
RESOLVED. That as we would wish to set exam.
pies of candor, temperance and charity, we most
earnestly recommend that our fellow citizens
should not countenance these mad revivals OF con-
fusion, which have been the causes Of much sorrow
and frequent insanity by their presence-that
this fire Of fanaticism may burn out tor want OF
fuel.
How these opinions may suit our'soc'ety at the
present day cannot say, but I am sure they were
generally held in good OLD TIMES

life. Heinstantiy did SO with such force as to
throw himself entirely from the locker upon the
cabin floor, by which he was much bruised anu
awakened OF course. after the landing OF the
army at Louisburg. his friends found him one day
asleep in his tent, and evidently much annoyed
by the canonadng. They then made hlm believe
that he was engaged, when he expressed a srea.
fear, and showed an evident disposition to run
away. Against this they demonstrated, but at
the same time increased his fears by im'tatins
the groans Of the wounded and dying, anu wneh
he asked, as he often did, who was down, they
named his particular friends. At last they to'd
him that the man next himself IN the line had fai'
len, when he instantly sprung from h's bed, rush
ed out of the tent, and was reused from h's Dan,
ger and his dream together by falling over the
tent ropes.-A remarkable thing in this case was,
that after these experiments he had no dstlne,
recollection of his dreams, but only, confuse"
feeling Of oppression or fatigue, and used 70 .el
his friends that he was sure they had been play
inc some trick upon him."
