It will be eeen that the friends of Jackson gen
erally united in what has been denominated the
Troup Ticket. The old friends of Gen. Clark
Uniting with their ancient opponents in the great
object of the election, saw no reason for weaken
ing the strength of the hero, by keeping up petty
distinctions, and running different Tickets. In
this matter they certainly acted with discretion
and liberality, and the compliment of our friend of
the Republican would have been more acceptable,
perhaps. had it not been accompanied with the slur, ;
which seems to show that any thing .else .than
compliment was intended.
The Tntendant and Council of the eitv of Charles

On the 19th was struck with a heavy sea, which
caused the vessel to spring % leak ; all hands as

of no avail. There being now two feet of water
on the cabin floor, all hands retreated to tbo fore

“The Election. —Although we have as

late general election in this State; yet
nough have come to hand to make it ap

Delegation, and that Messrs Irvine,
Thompson, Goodenow, and shields, the
Jackson candidates, have succeeded in the
districts now represented by Messrs. Bee

unfavorable result, which the operation of
local causes, and tho peculiar formation of
some of these districts, had led ns, in some
measure, to anticipate, is hoyyever, more
than counter-balanced, by the already as
certained facts, that there will be a clear
Administration majority in each House of
the General Assembly, and that Governor
Trimble, against whom the Opposition
had directed their principal efforts, has been
re-elected, by a very handsome vote: and
as the gentlemen returned to the next
Congress will not. in all probability, be
requested to take their ss#is till long after

SCOTL.I.YD. —Particulars respecting the late •
melancholy accident on Loch Lomond, by a
gentleman who was saved.
“I went up Lorli Lomond with the La
dy of the Lake on Friday, in company with
a brother in law, and iu going into the
steam boat we were joined by a mutual
acquaintance. YVe had a most delightful
sail to Taibet, where we landed in order
to spend an hour or two till the return of
the steam vessel from the head of the loch.
Iu the interim we went to see an ancient
burying place in the vicinity, and while
sauntering about among the moss-grown
tombs of those beings who had long since
ceased to have concern iu this world’s bu
siness, we got notice that it was time to
proceed to Tai bet, as the boat was coming
down. arrived just in time to get
birth in the unfortunate yawl, which was
on the point < f leaving the shore, for the
steamer, Without making any particular
reflections, after the hurry we had been put
to, I recollect wt!! that there was a general
feeling after we had left the shore, that the
boat was much overloaded, and I am sure
many of us then would have jumped out
had we had an opportunity. On nearing
the steamboat, her engine stopped, but my
[impression is that owing to ihe smooth
-1 ness of the lake, she was making consider
able way when our boat ran in under the
I protection at the paddle box. To save
; their heads, tbe passengers on that side
started up, and in an instant the boat upset
and we were all plunged into tbe water, —
As I had been sitting with my face to the
steamer, and as the boat capsized outwards
from it, I was of course thrown in the lake
on my hack, and must have sunk to a con
siderable depth before l could recover my
self. .Even here, and in ail the hwfulness
of the moment, I did not lose my recollec
tion, but I shall candidly coufess that a
strong desire of self-preservation was my
only feeling. Being a tolerable swimmer,
1 made as much way under the water as I
possibly could before T came to the sur
face, as I was well aware of the danger I
ran if I should get entangled with those who
were drowning aro&nd me
On my way to the shore which I thought
: was an immense distance, a man that I
] could not avoid caught hold of the tails of
; rny coat, and before I got to the ground he
( had actually, in ihe desperation of his fears
j managed to get frilly on my back, with his
arms around my neck. Being a good deal
* taller than my unwelcome guest, whenever i
|J. got ground 1 persuaded him to get off
my shoulders;,;.wiiich having done he plump
! ed over head and ears, but I picked him up
and got him fairly to the ground in Safety.
Our mutual gratitude to heaven was here
offered up with all that fervour which the
circumstances of the case naturally called
, for. Bui I remembered now for the first
time, that my friends in ail likelihood had
gone to the bottom, and seting a man a
little way off, £ swam for the spot, and sue- ,
ceeded in getting him ashore, hut be was 1
a stranger to me Being in agony for the I
safety of my brother in law, I observed a
hat floating as a it had beeu on some per—;
son’s head, but after swimming ocu to it 1 1
found it was empty, its ownvr having sunk
forever t they made foi the shore, where
to my unspeakable joy l found both my
frieucs, they having saved themselves by
clinging to the boat, until picked up.
At this time there were eight dead bodies
lying on ihe beach. My feelings cannot
easily be imagined, when I saw the indivi
dual who had clung to me and whom I then
learned was Mr. Harvey, sitting beside the
jearless corpse of his mother, tho very pic. |
ture of grief and despair After an hour s •
exertion, doing all that lay in ojur power ;
lor the resuscitation of the unfortunate peo
ple who had been brought on shore, un
happily without success, six or seven of us •
who had been immersed in the water,
went on board -lh& steam boat where we.
trot our wet clothes dried, and where w.e ,
■ eceived a good deai of kindness, especially
from a wright lad who managed to procure
gieat coats and mantles for us from tbe
passengers, and who from all appearance,
would readily have given off his own shirt,
could it have tended in any degree to mi
nister to our comfort.”
ANIYIAL MAGNETISM.
Sir, —Having been advised to make a
short tour this summer for the bebefit of
my health, I visited Paris, and among my
letters ofintroduction was fortunate enough
to obtain two or three addressed to the
principal medical gentleman who practice
animal magnetism in that city. Tin? gen
erality of your readers being I believe but
little acquainted with this interesting sci
ence, it may not be unacceptable to them
to receive a plain statement of a sow facts
connected with it, which came under my
own immediate observation. My name, if
it can add any weight to the narrative, may
be learned by inquiry at your office.
I carried from London a lock of hair be
longing to a sick frieud. His disorder was
of a bilious nature resembling jaundice, es
pecially in its having thrown a dark hue,
approaching to black over the whole sur
face of his body. Th** bile, as I under
stood had taken a wrong course, and mixed
not as it ought to do, with the blood. A
physician of the first eminence, who at
tended him, informed when leaving Lon
don, that his recovery was all but hopeless.
Dropsy was supervening on the disorder of
th liver.
Twelve days elapsed between tbe cutting
of the lock of hair and my presenting it to
Madme Gillaud, a somnambulist, at the
apartments of Dr. Dupotet, in the Rue
des Saints Peris, at Paris. The doctor ha
ving, by the process of magnetisiug for a
few seconds produced in this woman the
extraordinary kind of walking (or rather
talking) sleep, called somnambulism; she
received from him the hair, fo|t it for a
while with attention then (Very differently
from her usual manner in other consulta
tions which I had witnessed,J slit dropped
upon her breast and fell into a state ofcorn
pjete torpor from which her magnetiser had
great difficulty in arousing her. At length
she recovered, raided her her bead a little
and said slowly—“Je me’n Vnis—je vais
mourir. * She proceeded to tell us that
the patieut was drawing towards the close
of his career, that tie had the maladie noire
that his blood was corrupted, that there was
no use in ordering any thing for him, but
that he might be allowed to do what he !ir
ked best himself. In answer to the ques
tion, whether magnetising would be of any
service to him she replied that it might
prolong his life a little, I had carefully
abstained from giving any hint either to
Mr. Dupotet, the respectable physician
himself <>r to his somnambule, which might
guide either of them to u previous knowl
edge of this case ; you may judge therefore
of my astonishment on discovering the ac
curate acquaintance she had internally ac
quired of its nature and speedy termination j
A few posts aftei wards I leanxd that my j
friend had actually paid the debt of uature \
on the very day preceding this consulta*
tion. |
It may be objected, that if the clear-*
sighteduess of this somnambulist was per- f
feet, she would have known that the per-j
son in question was no more, at the mo- j
meal she was consulted about him. But,
you will recollect that the hair had been!
severed from his head 12 days before, and j
the magnetic fluid contained in ti could !
only convey to her perception a sensation
of the patient’s then state, viz. that of a
dying man, which she certainly expressed
in a very unequivocal manner Nor let it]
be allegedjirat this was but a lucky guess I
on her part; for I consulted her at the ‘
same time on the cases of two other ffis- :
tact friends, through the medium of ihtdr t
hair, & received proofs of her inteilige iu e j
equally surprising; especially where, frona \
describing the physical stateof one of thesvej
persons, she made a sudden digression, to j
paint some traits in his moral character’— j
traits perfectly familiar to his friends— j
which had caught her admiration.
During my stay, at Paris I had also;
frequent opportunities of seeing, at M- i
Fossocs, in ihe rue Mondovi a somnam
bulist of ihe namo of Paul, who has the j
faculty of reading with his eyes shut; an!
experiment which I repeatedly investiga-j
ted and fully verified, myself holding his I
eyedlids firmly closed, while yarious books :
were taken and opened at random before *
him,out of which he read fluently. I forbear
i giving the detail of these experiments, be
; cause similar ones, which took place be
fore the committee of investigation appoint
ed by the Royal Academy of Medicine,
iu Paris, have bejen recorded in the Her- ]
mes.
Not two months ago, mr. jEditor, I fool- j
ishly declared, that nothing would ever in- :
duce me to believe the wonders related of
animal magnetism; because, forsooth,l had
never seen nor heard the like: now, I am
free to acknowledge, that there may be :
l more things in .heaven and earth, than
I were dreamt of in my philosophy; or ra
! ther, I am more than ever ready to declare
| with the sun of Jesse, that the works of
i the Lord are great—worthy to be studied
and held iu remembrance—-sought put of
all them that haye pleasure therein.
JErxal _ Etcursion —The New York
