Horace Greeley says Of the esprit
in the Tribune, that" Clair
voyance, so far as we have opportunity
for observation, is not reliable, but oten
marred by freaks and blunders. Our
present impression is, that most Of the
so-called spiritual manifestations, per-
lain 10 the broad and mystic realm OF
Clairvoynnce, Electrical Psychology, or
whstever it may he called, and do not
emanate from Spirits in the invisible
world, as has been by many believed"
From some inklings we haveShad we
are inclined 10 say that ifthe "rappings"
are no, altogether deception, they must
at leas, be confined within the above
described limits. We SO thought and
wrote some months ago, in our account
Of our western Tip, during the summer,

fishermen to pursue their trade, is Ms foIlows:-
Commencing at point three miles outside of Mis-

Island, thence to Cape East, p. Z. l., thence

The British authorities are determined to molest
our fishermen every way in their power. They will
drive them from the fishing grounds they have been
accustomed to visit for years, and in addition i'm
pose upon them duty for the privilege of anchor

those impositions, mistake its character entirely.
