A NEW Form OF MEsMERIsM.-It is said that
certain clockmakers al Bristol, Conn, in making
some chronometers lately, found it impossible for
the workmen to keep awake when they were set
ting the instruments agong. tbs necessary in re-
gulating them, 10 count the beats in a minute by
regulator, and change the handspring until both go
nearly in time; then the screws in the balance are
turned until the greatest maximum is obtained,
when they are rated, and the rate registered. The
workmen find no difficulty with The parts, but
when the whole movement is going any sne who
sits down and counts the beats, or watches the mo-
ton of the balance, invariably becomes droWsy.-
Attempts have been made with other clocks, but
they do not produce the same sensation. The
clocks are of polished work, and gilded by a pecu
liar galvanc process, which, fthe facts be as here
stated, may have something to do with the effect
WHAT'S curious is, that the person who is put to
sleep continues TO count the bealings of the tive
with his hand or foot The writer in the Boston
Post, who gives an account Of the matter, adds
" Ii affords some amusement TO Visitors to see a
company OF men at work, and half of them asleep,
| yet laboring to keep themselves awake Expert
ments have been made with strangers, and it inva-
riably produces the same effect. On Saturday last
collier came to the factory with load of Goals
and was admitted into the finishing room to see the
| clocks One ofthe workmen desired to make the
experiment; accordingly, the old man was put Il
| count, striking on the bench with his hand in tim,
with the clock; he went TO sleep in three minutes
and was kept under the influence for nearly al
hour. His dog that had followed him into the room
upon discovering his situation exhibited alarm aHt
ran about bowling in a most dismal manner; al
this did not disturb the sleeper, but the moment tn
clock was stopped he awoke, and was surprise,
that so much time had passed There is som
great principle hidden in these phenomena that

THAT MUMMY.-Ths excitement occasioned in
Boston by the unwrapping Of Mummy, has in
ducsd Us TO consult authorities as TO the extent of
the business in the place of their manufacture
According to Mr.. Stephens, the American traveller,
the whole mountain side Of the western bank Of
the Nile is one vast metropolis The open doors of
the 0Ombs seen in long ranges, and at different
elevations, and, the plain, large pits have been
opened, in which have been found 1000 mummies
at q time. Until recently the Arabs have been in
the habit of rifiDg the toombs, TO sell the mum
mics to travellers. Thousands have been torn
from the place where pious hands had laid them,
aad the bones meet the traveller at every step. The
Arabs use the mummy cases for fre-wood, the
biluminOus matters used in the embalming being
well adapted to ignition; and the epicurean ira

SINGULAR DIVORCE Casa favorable report
On a petition for divorce was made in the Connec-
tiout Legislature on the 18th. The circumstances
as detailed by the Chairman of the committee were
as follows;
"The petitioner was married at the age Of 20.
she was a respectable and intelligent young lady,
but owing to some peculiar circumstances, her
mind became effected not to absolute insanity, but
she was in distracted state, and in this condition
came to New Haven on a visit to her sister
/" At this time she became acquainted with her
husband who is a colored man, through the agency
Of colored woman, who employed by her in
washing. Her husband had never proposed the
match, nor had she bat evening she was in
vited to the house of her washerwoman, and there
found company assembled and she was informed
she had been published, and that those present had
come to see her married She consented, and the
ceremony was performed by colored clergyman.
" Her husband then carried her TO NewYo and
placed her among associates that We're very disa-
greeable to her. He went to California some
months ago, but has recently returned. She has
recovered from her halucination and looks upon
her husband with disgust and horror. He had re-
ceived her notice of her application Tor divorce, bu
did not appear in opposition.

IMPORTANT FROM MARTINIQUE.-We pub
lished few days since Geographic dispatch, an
nouncng the burning of St. Pierre and insurrec-
ton of the negroes. The following particulars are
from the New York Evening Post of the 18th:
Captain Currie, of the brig w. J. Watson, which
arrived this morning from Ponce, Porto Rico,
informs that while he at that place he saw
letters, which were dated at St Pierre, Martinique
the 9th of May, and WHICH were wtten by well
known merchants, stating that the negroes of the
island had risen upon the whites and set fire to the
town.
The conhagration of the town, it was supposed
was the signal for general instruction of the
colored people, throughout the whole island 1t
was set fire at three different places and the fire
could be suppressed. All the white citizens of the
place who were able TO bear arms were enrolled in
the militia, and martial law was declared, while
large bodies Of negroes from the surrounding dis
tricts, had collected about the city
AT the last advices, some OF the negroes had been
captured, and were then undergoing trial, previous
to their being shot. But their depredations had
not yet ceased and the greatest alarm and excite
ment prevailed
ST. Pierre is the largest and chief commercial
town Of the island Of Martinique, situate at the
extreme North Of the island, and contains popu-
atiOn Of some forty or fifty thousand persons The
island itself, Of the southermost Of the Wind
ward Islands, in the Caribbean Sea, has popula-
ton of nearly one hundred thousand, Of which
eighty-six thousand or more than nine-tenths, are

| whites and blacks is so great that if any serious
insuuection, Of race against another, has been
attempted, it must lead to frightful carnage and
| disaster
An odious form Of slavery prevailed on the islanC

BRITISH IRoN.-Referrng to the large impor-

into the United States from Great Britain, the
Washington Republic remarks: Every cargo of
iron imported into the United States from England
or Wales represents all the labor employed in the
production of the iron from the native mines !;
it represents all the labor employed in the manu-
facture of the iron; it represents all the bread

of the laborers in both branches Of labor it repre-

The GERMAN MUSICAL FESTIVAL. 49, The
Philadelphia papers give glowing accounts of the
great German Musical Festival which took place
in that city on Monday. At the rehearsal at the
Musical Fund Hall, there were upwards of 300
singers. They subsequently marched to Indepen-
dence square. The Bulletin says
"At quarter to IL o'clock, P. M, Wolsielfer,
the we-known composer of this city, stationed
himself in the midst Of the hollow space on the
avenue, leader, and suddenly, at the proper
movement of his baton, Hail Columbia sue
eeeded by The Star Spangled Banner, was sung
The airs had been arranged in quartettes by Mr..
Wolsieiier and the music, as it resounded through
the grove Of the Square, was thrilling, while the
feelings which the associations of the place called
FORTH were touchingly patriotic. Both airs elected
the most enthusiastic applause from the vast as
semblage on the ground.
BY happy coincidence, the celebration occurs
on the anniversary Of the battle of Bunker Hill,
and we felt it was something to hear our National
Airs sung in such style, oh such day and in
such sacred spot the old State House Yard.
We could have wished the assembled thousands
had joined in the chorus, but there nothing Of
the kind.
AT the conclusion of the singing, the Soci cites
once more formed in procession, and passed over a
short route through Of the principal streets to
their quarters. The number of persons in and
around the Square, could not have been much less
than ten thousand

THE WEATHER.-The clouds threatened, yes

left clear field for the warm work of June day.
The late rains have clean sed the streets and wash

who should set the scavenger's broom in motion is
too apparent to need comment. The state Of many
OF our alleys and thoroughlares are repugnant to
every idea of health, with such a mass of filth in
our midst. At night, before the eopious rains of
the past few days. the olfactories of the pedes-
