CLAIRvoYAscE IN FRAScE-Alexander Dumas,
Says the Boston Transcript the celebrated French
novelist, has become q convert to animal magnetism
In letter dated September l5 ls47, he gives an in
tercsting account of magnetic seance at his own
country-seat Of Monte Cristo at which his friends
Messieurs Magnet Esquiros, and BaTot, who testify
to the truth OF his statements, were present Mon
sieur Marciet was the magnetizer, and the ceebra-
ted Alexis (the Alexis, we believe of whom the
Rev. Chauncey Hare Townsend has so much to saw
the clairroyant. Two plugs of wadding were
placed over the eyes Of the somnambule and bound
there by handkerchief Two other handkerchiefs
were then tied round the eyes, in such manner as
to leave no room for the supposition that the SOM
nambule could see by the ordinary organs Of sight
After various successful experiments of minor inte-
| rest book was taken up at hazard from among

known to the somnambule. II was translation Of
| Sir Walter SCOTS 81. Romans Vel. The somnam-
bule opened IT at random at the 229th page. "From
what page do you wish me to read ~ he asked.
From page 240," replied Magnet. Then Alexis
| drew with pencil line down two-thirds of the
page and remnrking that he would begin at that dis
lance down, he read and wrote down the two follow
ing lines: "Nous nous arretorons pas sur les diff
hcultes inseparables du transport"
"Our impatience" says Dumas, "prevented his
reading farther We took the book from his hands
turned to the 24oth page, and two-thirds down, Al
tho Both line, which commenced paragraph, read
the exact words, which Alexis had just pronounced

Dumas goes on to relate several other experiment,
lar more surprising than this; but we suspect tina
our readers have already had more than their credu
t lily will bear.
While upon this subject, however, we are remind
cd that there is in the appendix to the Rev. Mr.
Townsend's work on Magnetism, u curious lettel
from Professor Agnssiz, now in this country, from
which II appears that this celebrated naturalist was
himself magnetzed by Mr. r., and in which he de-
scrbes his sensations under the mesmerc influence

ANEW OHk DRY HOODS MARKET, NOV. i.
The importers, commission merchants and jobbers
nave done but a moderate business the past week.
The latter keep up good stocks, and are abundantly
able to supply the trade that is yet to come forward
Importers and the agents Of manufacturers are care
fully noting the present condition Of the trade with
reference TO operations for the coming season. II is
an important period with importers and word of
caution relative to ordering heavily for spring may
not be out of place. The extra risk attending the
Dry Goods business in this country, caused by the
long, longer longest credit SYSTEM renders it neces
sary that each class should exercise nice judgment
and great skill in all preliminary arrangements
The Dry Goods interest is one of the most important
in the country. vast amount of capital is invested
therein, and it will be well for the large dealers who
give such extensive Credits to reflect, that when f.
nancia difficulties occur and wide spread ruin fol-
lows they are the first and greatest sufferers 1t is
In great measure the long credit obtained from the
wholesale dry goods dealer that tempts the country
trader to go beyond his means in building mills pot
ashercs buying lands and embarking in foolish and
ruinous speculatons
We cannot report heavy sales in British goods this
week. Considerable quantities costinue to arrive
however, more than is customary at this late period
Of the year. 1t cannot be that they oil for the fall
trade and II Is reasonable to infer that some are in
tended for spring sales. If so, 1t is worthy of note
1t may be said that the quantity Of Irish linens en-
tered at the custom house the past week is enormous
for the season.
The importers of French goods are quiet. Recent
arrivals, by steamer and other vessels have supplied
the market with fair assortment of such goods as
are wanted. The stocks in first hands are generally
light. The sales of French goods ut auction the past
| season, have been heavier than usual @
