Meeting in behalf of Hungary.

The people of this country feel lively
sympathy for the Hungarians in their I'M
equal struggle for independence against
the allied powers of Austria and Russia,
and the succession Of brilliant victories a.
chieved by Benz and his com-patriots are
cheering to the friends of republican liberty
everywhere, and inspire hope for their
ultimate complete success Meetings have
bsen held in most of the cities throughout
this country TO express the sympathy of the

Lectures on Mesmerjsm, &c.
By reference to another column it will be
seen that Prof. w. H. ROGERS, of Philadelphia,
is now in this place and proposes to lecture to
our citizens on the subject of Mesmerism, Mag
netism, Fascination, Clairvoyance, Phrenclogy,
SC. &c. Mr.. R., comes we'll recommended as
a man and lecturer. The press, wherever he
has been, speak loud in his praise. From among
the numerous notices we copy the following:
:'Professors Catlin and Vaudeville, of Haml-
ton College, state they have no hesitation in say
ing that they have heretofore held the art OF
Animal Magnetism in contempt and dcrision
but that the experiments and the lectures made
by Prot. Rodgers at the College Chapel and at
Prof Mandeville's house, were of an astonishing
nature, and performed without the least posi-
bility OF collusion, so as to completely shake
their incredulity."
"Pt oFFssoR ROGERS FAREwELL-This gen.
teman delivers his last lecture for the season on
Friday evening. in the room of the Society Lii
brary. We have watched his struggles with
popular prejudice among US, and the triumphant
success which now crowns his arduous labors is
most richly deserved for bnp5 lx
severingly earned. He has proved what the
Would.be wise laughed at; and to use a popular
phrase, 'the laugh is now on the wrong side of
their mouth" He has done more to cs ablish
the claims of Mesmerism among u.s. than any
other man. Those who were the loudest in cry
ing "humbug' when he commenced, are now the
loudest in his praisc-N. Y. Herald.
'NEvER GIVE Up THE SHlr"-On this princi-
pleProfessor Rodgers has succeeded in doing in
New York what 10 other man in the circle of
our acquaintance could have effected. He has
convinced many thousand skeptics that Mes
merism, instead of being vulgar humbug is a
genuine science, as much so rs chemistry, botany
or astronomy. Be delivers his farewell lecture
IN the room of the Society Library, on Friday
evenings and we doubt not it will be. difficult
matter to obtain seats, unless you go early Pre-.
