The next day was the outer limit of his

1t seems that the people Of other places
are as much perplsxed. as are the people
of GAINESVILLE, in their Investigations OF
this new subject. In speaking Of it, the
Adrian Expositor says
"Our investigation of the matter has
been limited, but this much we think it is
not: 1t is not electricity, as that agent is
known to scientific men; it is not mineral
or animal magnetism alone. friend OF
ours, in whose statement we can put the
fullest confidence, has put the matter to
the most delicate tests, with regard to
these things. He has completely insulated

and it remained perfectly still; while a
magnet brought within two feet, would

the best "magnetizers' have tried in vain
to produce the phenomena. That the
manifestations are produced by the bate
ries and joints, is absurd, and long since
exploded.
You call upon a neighbor, with whose
family you have been acquainted for years
and whose character for honesty, and for
truthiulness, is beyond suspicion-they

spurs to his horse, aud, with his friends,
was soon out Of sight. They travelled
over 1870 miles without halt, having relays
Of horse on the way. They at length
reached, unmolested, lonely spot upon
the sea coast, where, according to previ-
Gus arrangements. whale boat was in
waiting, and bore him off in safety. He
had no concert with William Smith o.
Brien or John Mitchell, and acted entirely
on his own responsibility. They were en-
tirely ignorant OF his intentions. But it
is to be hoped that they, too, will act on
their responsibility, and also escape; John
Mitchell resided about 80 miles distant,
and William Smith O'Brien about 90 miles
from Meagher. He saw both short time
before he escaped. Mitchell looks well
and enjoys excellent health-but VIM.
Smith O'Brien was sinking beneath the
oppression. He was quite bent and look.
ed very old Before his Imprisonment he
was perfectly erect-and was hale man.
His proud spirit, like the sturdy oak, would
not bend before the storm, though it may
break down his body.
Mr.. Meagher gives the most extraordi-
nary accounts OF the gold excitement in
Australia. The precious metal is found
in vast quantities, and persons of every
description are forsaking their usual avo-
cations. and going to the mines. The
police and the turkeys Of the jails have
fled, and the local authorities were offering
from 8 to IS per day to others to induce
them to take their place. He calculates
that in one year this gold discovery
will effect arevolution in Australia. The |
colonists are by no means loyal subjects.
They are beginning to take it into their
heads to do something like what the men
Of Boston once did with British tea.
