MESMERISM.

III hard to tell what change may come
over the esprit of ones dieam," as athere
are more things in Heaven and earth, than
are dreamed of in our philosophy" Our
town has been visited by disciple of Mes.
mer and strange to say he has converted
some OF the strongest opponents to this
theory over to the faith. The gentleman
TO whom we allude is no, protested hand
at the business but merely exhibited his
power to show tha, there was such thing
as Animal Magnetism. The subject was
black boy about 10 years Of age. We
were not present when he was put into the
mesmeric sleep but We saw him while un.
der Its Influence, and we could see that
the operator had an influence over the
boy that was hard TO explain He made
HIM extend his arms and hold them So
and his muscles were so rigid that they
could not be bent wilhou; injury TO the
toy-he was to all appearance so sound
asleep that he could not be walked by loud
calling but the operator in a second made
him speak. Ne then walked his head >
as he expressed himself, when the boy
opened his eyes and answered question.
put to him, he was thcn made TO stand IN
his nrms still extended, and TO show thai
there was no deception he was offered q
sixpence aud attempted 10 take it bnt had
not the power to do so--one of his arms
was restored and the other was still ex,

said he felt as well as ever There were
about fifty persons in the room, among

Fever and Aguc.

- sfFection proceeds alone from the state Of the
nervous system, affecting the stomach. 1t is
sometimes etFecuslly cured by a sudden shock or
ether operation upon the mind; but no depend
ence can be placed upon any remedy, except u
powerful tonic action upon the stomach.
DIR. MOFFAT'S PHENiX BITTERS AND
LIFE PILLS have been happily used for the cure
Of FEVER AND AGUE, with invariable success.
DIR. MOFFAT has lately received from the
West where the disease prevails to considerable
extent, indubtsble proofs that his medicines are
in high estimation there, as a speedy and eiieetuai
cure oft. He has unqnestionable city reference
as to its high efficacy in this dsagreeable afiec'
ton, which will be given on application at his Oh
fee, 375 Broadway, New York.

BlTTERS.
Those who have perused the letters above re.
ferred to will observe, that in almost every caso
they attest the fact, that no Inconvenience of any
sort attends the taking Of these medicines in or
binary cases, bot that The patient, without feeling
their operation, Is universally lett in a stronger
and better state of health than was experienced
previous 10 being afflicted with disease and in
all cases Of acute suffering, great relief is obtained
IN few hours. and cure'is generally effected in
two three days.
In of FEVER of every description, and
all bilious affections, ii is unnecessary for me 10
say aught, as believe the LIFE MEDICINES
are nov universally admitted to be the most
speedy and efcctual cure extant in all diseases OF
that class.
The LIFE MEDICINES are also most ey.
collcnt relei in affections of the Liver and Bowels
as has been proved in hundreds Of cases where
pstiens have come forward and requested that
their experience in tuking them might be publish.
ed for tho benefit Of others In their operation in
such cases, they restore the tone Of the Stomach
strengthen the digestive organs, and nvigorate the
general functions of the whole body. and Thus be-
come 10 both sexes (for they perfectly adapted
TO caoh) an invaluable means Of preventing dis
ease and restoring health,
In affections Of the head whether accompanied
with pain and gtddineSs or marked by the grievous
calamity OF impaired mental energy; in polpita-
ton Of he heart .fGtuience, loss Of appetite and
strength, and the multiplied symptoms Of dlsordered
digestion, tho LIFE MEDICINES will be found
to posses the most saluary efficacy.
Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men
or women. are under the immediate influence of
the LIFE MEDICINES. Old coughs, dsthnas,
and consumptiee habits are soon relieved and
speedily cured. Popertp Of blood. and emaciated
limbs will ere long meet the happiest change the
chill watcry fluid will become rich and balssmic,
and the limbs be covered with flesh--hrm and
healthy.
Nervous disorders ofevery kind and from what.
ever cause arising, fly before the effects of the
LIFE MEDICINES, and all that train of sink
ings, anxeties, and tremours which so dreadfully
aft the weak the sedentary, and the delicate.
will in short time be succeeded by cheerfulness,
and every presagc Of health
For weakness, deficiency of natural strength,
and relaxation of the vessels, by too frequent in
diligence oc the passions, this medicine is safe,
certain, and invaluable remedy.
Those who have long resided in bot climates,
and are languid and relaxed in thoir whole system,
may take TIE LIFE MEDICINES with tho
happes, effects; and persons removing 10 the
Southern States or West Indies, cannot store a
more important article Of health aud life.

mer's News Letter says during The last
ten days the utmost excitement and alarm
has prevailed in consequence of the ab.
sconding Of Mr.. Edmund Burdekin, late
manager of the Manchester Bank. Vari.
GUS and conflicting statements have been
freely circulated as to the probable amount
which has been carried away, but as yc,
no accurate idea can BIO formed.
The mode in which Mr.. Burdekin has
obtained the funds with which he has de.
camped is this: Mr.. b. waited upon Mr..
Il. w. Seed, "a person who passed through
the Gazette some two years since, and
who at the time stood indebted to the Bank
$4,000 to 100000, and represented 10
him the desperate position of the bank.
ind the necessity of it's raising money
promptly by way Of bills, but for which
the bank was not then prepared to give
value) who then consented 10 do as Mr.. B.
required and bills, the number and amount
of which MIR. Seed took no account, drawn
by said Seed, and accepted by a John
Clark.
One Of these bills fell due on Tuesday.
the day on which Mr.. b. left Liverpool
Tor Boston. The amount of funds thus ap.
proprIated, for Mr.. B. got the bills dis.
counted out Of The bank, is unknown, but
variously estimated at from $4,000 to
100000.
The box of specie, which left Liverpool
on the gath, by the Virginia, for New
York, and said to be part of the plumber,
Is, it is pretty well ascertancd, not to be
the case. The specie in question, f2O,.
O00, is represented, on good authority, as
being real mercantile transaction, the
specie being sent out for the purpose of
purchasing cotton, and sen, as being the
best mode Of making payment for tina, ar.

eV A correspondent of the Richmond
Wing states that President TYLER has been
figuring about Washington in the capacity
of Il reviewing officer. Ten companies ut
his suggestion turned out to be reviewed
by his Accidcncy. It caused quite stir
among all classes, and during the review
q laughable scene occurred--no sooner had
he commenced the review than off he
stretched down the wondering lines at a
tapping pace in spite of every effort of his
suite and none were able to keep up with
him.
