ing the wet foggy night, there was large au
dience in City Hall last evening. In order to
satisfy everybody that there was no collusion
between the Brothers and the committee to be
chosen to watch the manifestations, and to
examine all the paraphernalia used in the per-
formances, slips OF paper containing numbers
were passed among the audience and the hold
ers to corresponding numbers, drawn from
hat, were constituted that committee. Mr..
John Neal and Mr.. Cram, the proprietor of the
U. S. Hotel, accordingly became that commit
tee The only piece of furniture used was a
large cabinet supported by wooden horses
above the stage SO that all could look under it,
with three doors in front and diamond shaped
window in the upper part of the centre door.
The Brothers were fastened inside securely by
Messrs. Neal and Cram, who bound them with
ropes hand and foot, when the doors were
closed, the gas turned down, and Immediately
the musical instruments were played, hands of
different shapes and sizes were seen at the
window, and the bell and horn thrown out of
the window on the stage. Both Mr. Neal and
Mr.. Cram then sat inside with the Brothers,
and were bound to them, when like manifesto
tions occurred. 1t was all very remarkable
and no matter whether you call it electricity,
spiritualism, or jugglery, is well worth seeing
The dark sednce was well worthy the price of
admission, to see Mr.. Fay's coat stripped from
him, while he sat bound securely to chairs
and flung TO the other end of the room. To-
night is the last opportunity witness their won
derful feats, and we have no doubt there will
be crowded house.

SPANISH TONNAGE DUEs.-Early in March
Congress passed joint resolution, introduced
by Mr.. Lynch, and reported by Mr.. Eliot, to
repeal the tonnage duties on Spanish vessels.
The intent of this was to allow our vessels to
have the benefit of the Spanish reciprocal de-
cree of June. 1868, of which England and
other European nations so eagerly availed
themselves. As the act did not seem to have
accomplished anything, Mr., Lynch came on
here yesterday to see about the natter. He
found that in form the decree was conditional
like our act, and that our government had
lost the benefit of it by neglecting to take the
initiative. A consultation was had with the
Secretary of the Treasury, who decided that
he will issue his circular to collectors of Gus
toms directing them hereafter to collect no dis
eliminating duties on Spanish vessels entering
our ports. This circular will be sent through
the State Department to the Spanish minis
ter, and the probabilities are that in short
time our vessels in the Spanish West Indies
will be placed on footing with those of other
nations. The discrimination against us is now
one dollar ton in gold, and our tonnage en-
gagged in this trade exceeds that of all other
nations together. Washington Special to Bos-
ton Aduertiser.
