MEsMERIsM.-The following interesting
extract is from the New York letter of the
National IntelIigcncer:
"Some Of our principal physicians are
likely to become converts at length to
boliel in The truth Of the much abused
science Of Mesmerism. A most convn.
cling evidence OF the power and reality OF
the mesmerlc agency was exhibited in this
city on Thursday last, (the 10th instant

els, Doane, Delaiield, Rogers, and others,
all Of them men acknowledged TO stand in
the front rank u :heir profession. A
young lady of resi- reliability residing in
Chambers street, while in the somnambu-
lie state, induced by inesmersm, had
tumor removed from her neck near the ca
rotid artery. The mesmeriser and surgi.
cal operator was Dr. Bertronnier, young
man of fine abilities, who has recently ar
rived here from Paris. The subject sub.
milted to the painful operation without the
slightest manifestation Of physical pain
or shrinking--a serene smile playing up.
on her lips as The knife cut deep into the
flesh. After the operation was ended,
an apparent disposition to awaken from
the magnetic trance was Immediately dis
PEELED by few passes Of the mesmeri-
ser's hand. The eminent physicians, who
were present, nearly all Of whom came

in silent amazement at the successful close
of the experiment.. As one Of The most
distinguished Of them remarked TO me,
their looks seemed to say, shave we not
disbelieved in these things too long2'--
The case was in all its details Of most
convincing character. A full description
Of il, duly authenticated, will soon be pub.
lished. II is likely 10 rival in interest that
in which the celebrated Coquet Of Paris,
was the operator; who removed a cancer
under similar circumstances, but where
the operation was not so strongly attested
as in the present instance. A profound
impression has undoubtedly been made
upon the minds Of our medical and scien-
tifc men by this extraordinary incident,
