Woadcrs Of MeSmerism. The follow
ing miraculous effects of MeslnerMm, on
one of The most pervcrse and unacc 'mmo.
dating of the lower animals, are reported
bya Correspondent of the Hamilton Ra-
hectlr. A sleek Be k>hre being des rib
ed, secured upon Il t,l', and 2u' t. sleep
by the rsutl process, tie writer thus pro-
cecds:
"Ihe next experiment was upon the
community of sen'ation.' The operator
ate an ap la, and the pig seemed much
blessed with The taste. When the opera
tor hal finished the apple tho pig held up
his snoui as if desire IS Of more of tho
same food. The operator retired some
distance, and read a note which was hand
ed him The pig seemed TO understand the
contents, and nodded his head rs it to
give assent. Tine eyes Of the pig were
now banIaged, and the operator held an
ear of corn in his hand, The pig appar'
emily saw the corn, and appooached to re-
ceive it. A large dog was now put IN
communication with the pig-ihe dog
barkcd, and the pig groun'ed. Tho Coy
run at the pig which approached him; aud
their noses stuck together Just a. The
poles of two magnetic needles would do.
By these experiments 'thc community OF
sensation was fully established.
THE operator now assumed the COM
mand over the pig, for the purpose of ex'
aiming in phrenomagnetism. The or.
gan of Emusic was first touched and she pig
gave some most molodio Is squeaks.--
The next touched was that Of penetration,
when the pig commenced roofing 10 the
ground. 'rhe pig gave look. of defiance
and gave a warIke groHnt. The next
was the orgaa of observation. The pig
now looked very knowingly towards the
sky as if TO examine the state of the
weather. The operator here got quite
angry with n boy who was interrupting
The fluid, and struck him. The pig imme.
diaieIy became very fcrocious, and at.
tackled the boy ass.
Surprise now took the place Of anger
in the operator. The pig stopped, and
also appeare unaccountably astonished.-
Tho operator took snuff, and the pig
snoezed. The operator chewed piece Of
tobacco, and the pig turnel sick at the
stomach. The operator now, for the first
tine asked a question 'Whats the mat.
ter, piggyl. anil msirabiIe d'cta! The pig
answered. Ugh! Pm sick Many other
very wonderful experiments were per.
formed, and we became satisfied, that the
animal under the influence Of mesmeric
power might, in process Of time, M, only
be able to describe disease in patients ho
had never seen, bit even 10 Practice me-

is confirmed by letters received from some
OF his frs nls in ConsiantInople. He had
been suffering from feeble health fJr sew.

The 9th of February last be was seized
with that dangerous disorder, pIeurisy,
which lerminnJed his life on The Sd oil
March. Ee was aware Of his approach.
ing dissolution and made arrangements
accordingly respecting his funeral. b.
his will, lie directed his body to be buried
at the foot Of Tie flag staff; deep grave
was accordingly dug which was lined and
and bricked, and flooring OF oak laid to
prevent the effect of dampness. His bo-
dy was enclosed in an inner coffin of
lead, made alright and filed with rum, a
walnut casing was outside of that, with
the initials OF his name. This was en-
cased in strong deal coffin.
The funeral was attended on the 9th
by the attaches of several legations, and
all the Americans resident in Pera. The
ministers who were not present Themselves,
or who had not sent representatives, sent
letters of confidence. After the funeral,
the Americans present assembled and
passed the following resolutions: - lst
That they would wear Grape for the space
of one month. ID. That letters of con-
docne should be sent to Mrs. Porter. 3D.
That copies Of resolutions should be sent
to the Department Of State, 10 Mrs Por'
ter, and 10 the family here. A letter was
addressed 10 Commander Morgan, to re-
quest him II send vessel Of war to con.
vev the remains to the United States.
There are few who OBJ aimed more hon.
or in the gallant exploits which raised The
fame of our navy in the late war, than
Com. Porter. The most remarkable
comb t in the history of Naval warfare
was fought by him IN the Essex, at The
nouth OF Valparaiso haIb)r, with the Brit
ISL ships Phoebe and Cheruh. The en-
galen c It lasted NJ arly two hours and
half. The Essex had So men killed, in.
GLIDING those who soon died Of their hurts,
and sc wounded, making total Of l24, OF
nearly half of all On board at the com.
mancemcmt OF The action. lnculing The
mis- ing, of whom many wero drowned in
attempting to swim 10 shore, as the ship
had taken fire, the entire loss vas l52, out

Commodore Porter his since the war
distinguished himself in many important
Offices, 10th civil an! in his profcssion.--
At the period Of his Death, he was Chrgc

The Sultan. A IrAver spirit than his new
CT animated the heart of an American,
