The PRoGREss OF MEsMERIsM.-The
C%hronotYpe, a singular daily paper
publishe d 10 Boston relates that, at n of
Mr.. Sunderlani's lectures on Patriotism
a few days ago in Boston, a woman went
to the platform in a magnetic state, and
after standing awhile with her back to the
audience, took her seat and called for the
lecturer. After whispering with her, he
informed the audience that she told him
that there was a mar in the house who
had been guilty Of a horrible crime. She
afterwards rose and told the audience, in
a distinct voice, that it was in South
Carolina, nine years ago the 10Th of
of September, that a man named Daniel
Clark disappeared, and was never seen at.
terWard. The murderer was in the house.
This created some sensation, and calls of
"name, name, u" point him out" were
heard, but the prudent cLairroyante held her
tongue.

IRELAND.--Fatat Collision nth The
Military, Blod has been she'd in Mayo. The
election for a representative 10 supply the
place Of Mr.. Mark Blake, commenced on
Monday, and on Tuesday a party of the
9Th Hussars were escortng a number OF
freeholdefs Of Moore 10 the hastings,
when, at a milo from CastIebar, n number
Of + tho r~1usuutry, Hh0ru th6hItiudf Il wuftii,
peited them with stones, for the purpose
Of rescuing the freeholders.
Mr.. Cruise. the stipendiary magistrate,
ordered the military 10 fire, when a woman
leaving a family of five children, u fine
young man 30 years of age, and another
man, were shot dead, and lhreo mortally
wounded.
A letter in Dublin, dated Castelar,,
March 4th, stats the number ofkllIed TO be
3, and Of wounded 100. The military force
consisted Of parties Of the 30;h and 32d
regiments.
Tho physicians an d surgeons Of The
Public Medical Institution in Cork, in a
petition TO parliament, set forth ihtt the
ex' gencies arising from The failure Of the
food of the greater part of the people, and
the apprehension of the epidemic diseases
which always follow famine, demand that
adequate provision for giving efIeetuaI
relief to the sick poor, hitherto so much
required, should be Immediately made by
law and the cost thereof charged upon the
general property of the country.
At a meeting of the poor eliefcommittee
of Cork, measures were taken TO call on
the government to act speedily, with Tho
view of meeting the growing poverty, and
requesting the immediate attention Of tbs
government TO the necessity Of forthwith
taking measures for the sale of Indian
meal aud oatmeal 10 the poor, in order to
reduce the high rates of The markets.
INDIAN MEAL.-A friend who on
Thursday tried the meal according to the
directions published. givs a most favorable
report Of the result. He tried it in four
melhods-frst, two parts of meal to one
of oatmeal; secondly, the meal alone. From
each he had a most nutritious md paIatable
bread. Thirdly, as a stirabout, in which il
answered admirably; and fnrthly, as
aummory, in which last form he saysthe
addition Of a little sugar and "a squeeze Of
lemon" made il, in his W words, "qhite
a delicious article" We mention this that
others may be induced to follow his ex.
ample, and so assist in removing The
unreasonable prejudice with which it is, in
many places, regarded by the poor.-Cork

DANIEL

The Godlike" Daniel, the bought and paid
Tor Daniel, the purchased attorney of the manu-
facturers, has been making another speech 10 the
Boston wings, which is perfectly Characteristic of
The man. We find it so ably noticed in the
Philadelphia papers that we adopt their com
ments IN preference to our own. The Ledger
says =
Mr.. ebster has been making a speech to the
wings ot Boston, preparatory 10 the election
"hich look place In Massachusetts Yesterday, and
In the course Of it he took occasion To review the
causes of the result of the late elections in their
Connection with the leading measures of the adj.
mIn'stratIon. According to Mr.. Webster it was
not anti TeniIsm or abulitionism in New Ynrk
which gave that State TO the wings, but il was
the dissatisfaction which the people felt with The
acts Of The present administration, in io~vulying
the country in a war with Mexico, the forcing of
a Sub treasury upon the people, and the enact
ment OF the Tariff Of 1916. In his remarks con.
corning the war, he denounced the invasion Of
Mexico as an uncOnstitutiona act. He says
1.-The President had, by a treat violation of
duty, ordered the United States army to push for
ward beyond tho river Nueces, and in so doing he
had committed what Mr.. Webster considered as
an impeachable offence. The President had it in
his power to do such a thing, but had no right To
90 IT. ny the Constitution he was authorized to
10 TePel Invasion, bat he was not authorized To 90
beyond the territory and invade another coun
Try. This was the deep foundation Of all opposi.
ZION to This war-lhat it was illegal-a great vol
lation Of duty"
10 Speaking ofihe Mexican war. a person asked
% who voted for it2" Mr.. Webster answered.
g II was not voted Tor by auy body. The Presi

strictly true Did not the Senate pass a vote Of
two only in the negative, (Clayton and Davis,)
directing that the services Of $4,000 volunteers
should be accepted for the war, and appropriaiing
ten millions Of dollars to carry it on
