SPIRIT RAPPMG.-Upon the Spirit RapPing
nuisance, the last invention of the 'great en-
envy of souls" the N. Y. Times has the fol-
lowing:
There is no subject "before the people"
which monopolises a larger share of public
attention than the so.caled spiritual pheno-
mena., In hundreds Of families in this city
the "rappngs" and "tippings" are the ordina-
ry amusements of the evening, and the belief
that spirits are the cause of these manifesto
tons is widely prevalent. This belief is not
a mere vulgar illusion, based upon ignorance
and superstition. 1t has the sanction OF the
church. Grave divines of the leading Pro-
testant sects have subscribed to it. We have
already given the opinion of Dr. Tying upon
the subject, and the Rev. Charles Beecber, it
appears, comedies with the doctor in attribu-
ting the manifestation" to diabolic agency.
Here, then, we have two distinguished cler-
gymen, the one an Episcopalian, the other a
Congregationalst, admitting their faith in the
supernatural origin of the "rappings," This
is a serious matter. The delusion spreads
daily, and impostors are using it for the worst
purposes. 1t can only be dissipated by in
vestigation and exposure; and in our opinion,
it would be well to organize committee oil
scientific men for the purpose of inquiring
into the reality Of the alleged phenomena,
and, if proved to be real, into their nature.

A New SLAVE STATE.-Ion, of the Balti-
more Sun, says: The territory of Washing
ton, so fertile and salubrious, and so inviting
to agricultural enterprise, is opened, by the
iberality of Congress, for the reception OF
Southern immigrants with their slaves. A
considerable number of citizens of Missou-
ri and Kentucky, and probably Virginia, will
avail themselves of the boon and Of the OPP
portunity thus unexpectedly afforded for the
introduction Of another great slave State into
the Union.
Mr. Chase, Mr.. Hale, and Mr.. Simmer were
so wholly engrossed by their Animation Of
the works and triumphs Of Mrs. Stowe, that
they suffered the bill establishing the mag
nifcent territory of Washington to be passed
without the usual recognition of the ordi-
nance of I76S-or the Wilm0t proviso.

THE MURDEREss, AGNES ANDERsoN.--This
wretched woman was brought before Recor-
der Winter this morning, on the affidavit OF
Deputy Coroner Terrell, who charged her
with the wilful murder of William Taylor;
The affidavit was read to her, and when asked
what she had to say, she replied in a loud
voice, and in q most positive and determined
manner-"Yes, sir, did murder him, and
would do it again, under the circumstances.
He robbed me of my virtue, dishonored me-
and then, by his i'll usage, endeavored to drive
me on the town. My life has become bur-
den to me. A jury may convict me, hang me-
do what they like with me, care not. A few
days ago he had me dragged out OF his
mothers house by two policemen. he has
done nothing but ill.use me, and murdered
him. | confess it, and you may do what you
like; care nothing for myself" She was
remanded until Thursday next. On leaving
the Court she repeated that she had murder
ed him, and would do it again if she had the
opportunity. Her cheek wis unbenched
during the whole of this scene, and she stood
in Court less affected than any one in it.-N.

w"Oh, my dear" said Mrs. Dogberry to
her daughter, "you shouldn't hold your dress
so very high in crossing the street." "Then,
ma" replied the young girl, show shall ever
show the beauty of my founced pantaletts,
that have almost ruined my eye-sight to man
ufacture. Tn sure don't care if the beaux
do look at me-" The old lady spoke of the
"sin of vanity, and the beauty of decorum,"
and walked off to her chamber expatiOting in
a somewhat lugubrious strain, upon the 'pro-
gress of the age" and "the elevation of
things"

The Baltimore correspondent of the N. o.
Crescent has the following viDous paragraph:
Our Legislature had glorious drinking
bout with their friends at the Capital Of
Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Many rich scenes
transpred there that am afraid will never be
properly described. Verify swine works won-
ders." Such fraternizing and disclaiming
of clashihg interests among the Legislators
of two States was never seen before, and
perhaps never will be again. One of the
speakers at the banquet declared that if the
members were to change places, and exchange
States, their duties would be properly per-
formed and their constituents faithfully
served-a conclusion in which many of the
said constituents will perhaps agree The
speakers, in their disclaimers Of all sectional
feeling, reminded me of the recommendation
Western editor once gave to candidate for
Congress: "Of his ability, he said, "he could
not say much: but as to his patriotism, it was
great-the last time he saw him he knew no
Mason's or Dixon's line, no North, nor no
South; so he kindly offered him his arm and
led him up an alley."

The Newly orb, Herald of Monday devotos
one of its pages in recent number of a his
torcal review of the horse trade of that city.
The number of horses in the city is estima-
ted at 22,54O, and their value at l,49500O.-
The number Of men directly dependent up
oll the labor Of their horses for subsistence
is stated at I2,7l0, while many thousands
rely more or less upon them in the TRANSACT
ton of their daily business In 1925, the
proportion of horses was one to every thirty
inhabitants; now it is one to every twenty
three, thus showing that the application of
steam to machinery, and the different me-
chancal inventions which have since been
made, have not had the effect either of dimin-
ishing the value of horse labor, or reducing
the number.

EYeLAYp.-The Chancellor Of the Exche-
quer proposes in his Budget general reduc-
ton of duties in Great Britain. Public opln-
ion is divided on the subject. 1t is generally
believed, however, that it will overthrow me ..,
present ministry. The Kossuth affair is SUI
Unexplained. Kossuth himself is apparently
cuitiess. Hale, the owner Of the Rocket
Factory, threatens to prosecute the Govern
ment for illegally taking his property. The
munitions were seized and deposited in
Woolwich arsenal. Mrs. Stowe has been
enthusiastically received.

DANIEL WEBsTER's EsrATE-The Provi-
dence Journal says that the attempt to raise
money enough, by subscription, to retain Mr..
Webster's Marshfeld estate in the possession
of his family, is likely to fail, and that the
place will necessarily be sold. The Boston
Courier states that everything at Marshfeld
which the public would desire to see preserv-
ed as permanent memorial of the great
statesman, will be secured for that purpose;
but that it is not yet settled that his wishes,
in regard to his birthplace, in New Hampshire,
can be carried into effect.
