2 Chrontttt an?? am; II ST A. TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY ? “ Mermaid” lignin* Che Charteston'Mercrtiy; of S.-ilyrdav., eon-, taiued the following card from' the gent leuieii whose names ate attached thereto, whir It »T give toy the iufbrniatjpn of our readers. They are ilieti distinttuished for fheir scientific attain ments, but whether they are correct in the opin lOn-expressed, we pretend not to determine, Ibr we have before admitted our unfitness tor .1 de e'isioi/’u'p.ui the merits of the exhibition We desire to remark. that however apparent the line of union between the fish skin and that of the monkey. may have appeared to these gentlemen, We‘could not detect any evidences .which he travetl the finger of the artist. Nevertheless, it mitji.have been manufactured, and so united as to {elude detection from any examination we were permitted to make. • .. The so-called Mermaid. • We have examined the production recently exhibited at the Masonic Hall, purporting io be “the most wonderful curiosity in the work!— the Mermaid.’’ ~ This pretended wonder is formed by the artifi cial union of two very distinct and widely s"p arated species—an Ape and a Fish. The form of the head—the presence of hands with flat nails, am! the long canine teeth, prtove that the upper part of this compound belongs to order quadrum ana and foudianded animals which are composed of many genera and species that are usually called by the general name of monkeys. The presence of cheek pouches which in this dried specimen are thrust upwards on the cheek bones, announce it to have been an inhabitant of the old world, and pot ofthe' new, as no American monkey has as yet been discovered with these appendages. The speci men has been much distorted and disguise*l in the preparation, it appears, however, to be that , of an African species, frequently seen in the Menageries ot the United States. „ The lower part is the tail, together with the skin of the body of a Fish oi the order Mala- , ropterygii Abdominalis ol Cilvier, which tn . • eludes a large family of fishes whose rays are. all soft, followed by a second one, small and adipose’* ’ The method which has been adopted to im pose this gross deception on the public, is the - following. The body of a monkey (the hip?- and lower extremities having been removed) b inserted into the skin of the fish deprived of its head —the vertebral column of the inunkeyjle scending eight or ten inches into the fish's skin. , The termination of the lish skin upwards »an he traced without much difficulty round the body, •resting on the skin ol the monkey which passes . underneath. This caricature ot nature is rendered more absurd, when we take into consideration foat we have here the whole of the chest of a monkey and the skin of the whole chest, abdomen and tail of a fish, giving to the animal two chests and two abdomens. Regarding as we do the exhibition ol such a deformity, an injury to natural science—as cal culated to perpetuate on the minds of the ignor ant an absurd fable, and to extort money from the public under false pretences, we feel it onr duty to expose this vile deception, and to de nounce the man who exhibits it as an impostor.

Clay.—A committee from Memphis, Tenn., arrived here yesterday, with an invitation to Mr. Clay to visit that city. The letter of invitation is signed by upwards of 700 ladies and gentlemen. We think Mr. Clay will have logo. He might resist the gentlemen, but when the ladies mingle their t: sweet voices’ in the general call, he will lie forced logive in.— A r . O. Tropic, 315/ alt. Mr. Campbell, of Alabama, formerly ol South Carolina, has been confirmed as Consul at Havana, to which place he had been nomi nated, vice Mr. Calhoun,‘of Georgia, removed. The Uses of Mesmerism.—The Boston Mail stales that a young woman was ihrown into the Mesmeric state at the City Hall, at Lowell, Mass., on Thursday evening last, by Dr. W P. Shattuck, and submitted to the oper ation k>f extracting a tumor on the shoulder, without manifesting the slightest pain. An in vision tnd the tumor was made to the depth of near.. two inches, and the operation was one have caused acute pain, fainting, &<•. <>n be ing brought back to the natural state, the lady 3 was entirely free from pain, and was not aware that any operation had been performed. This experiment was performed under the direct per sonal examination of Drs. Holbrook, Pillsbury, and Horn, of Lowell, and in presence ofa large and respectable audience. A full and scientific report of the case will soon be published.

Their saluta tion on their entrance was a yawn and a stretch/ and then, without further ceremony, each took his place at the lolling table. “Heading the Captain.*’ It is announced without qualification, says th? Philadelphia North American, in several Whig newspapers, and without even a modest excuse in one or more of the Tyler organs, that the President is waiting impatiently until the ad journment of Congress, in order to make a grand revolution in the great community ol of fice holders throughout the Union, li is admit ted that if present incumbents should be instant ly ousted, their successors would stand very lit tlechance of being confirmed in their places by the Senate. The plan of the President, there fore—that very sensitive, scrupulous and con scientious President, who has kept the whole business and credit of the country in a stagnant condition for nearly two years, with twee*ile dum and tweedle-dee abstractions —is to set aside the Constitution, by creating vacancies in offices, and filling them during the Uongression- M recess. Admirable respect for the spirit of that instruinennt! Hopeful devotion to the principles of a republican government! The question naturally arises whether there is any help for this violation of the indisputable right of the Senate to determine who shall enjoy federal offices. We believe that it is a remedy which a cotemporary states is contemplated by the Whigs in Congress. It is to introduce into the civil appropriation bill a clause by which no provision is made for the salaries ot any officer who shall be appointed to a vacancy created by ' the President during the recess, unless the re moval of the previous incumbent should be made for good cause, such as incompetency or malfeasance, which cause the President must report to the Senate upon the assembling of the next Congress. If this clause be inserted in the appropriation bill, it may go very far in “head ing the Captain ’upon his grand expedition a gainst a host of honest men who stand in the way of bis schemes for perpetuating his power.

The Raleigh Star, alluding to the adjournment of the Legislature, says: “ The session was the longest ever held in North Carolina, and that “no provision has been made for the public necessities— nothin;:, absolutely nothing, has been done to promote th common interest.

'[’he scheme of Introducing exotic cottons in to India, is by no means anew one.

The experiments that have hitherto occupied the attention of die East Imda Cyinpaiiy have been tried on small expc-imemal farm--,.0r in gardens, under the superintendence of scientific botanists, amongst uaom are. Dr. Lash and Dr. Wright, and some othe.s, who.have been very assiduous in tlieir attentions to this subject. But they appear to have studied it as bot.-uiisg . rath iher than as agriculuuali.-ts, and have placed more reliance on theory than practice, lorget . ting that agriculture is e:rq)hati'.-aiiy a practical science.

Perhaps the reason grows otil of the obvious necessity tin- tin- rccoininendation and adoption 0! some financial measure. It is mentioned that the President, in reply to inquiries t rot* the friends of Commodore Jones lias stated that he had recalled that officer, but without anv expression of disapprobation of his conduct. ’ The House to day laid on the table by a vote ot 97 to 93, the resolution ol the Com. of for eifpi Alfaits, toi.-ike the bill providing for the French spoliatfoti claims, out of Committee of Ihe Whole on Tuesday next. That hill it is found, will not l« acted on this session, if ever. The hill providing tor the payment ot Revo lutionary penrtlbns on the Ist July, 1843, anil Ist Januaiy, 1841, was reported, considered, and passed. ,-.,s|®!- ; The plicate calender was taken up, and a bill grantingj& pension to John Cary, a free colored man, stj'.l to be 11-2 years old, and lo have Washington as a body servant at BfSßdock’s defeat, and in his revolu tionary campaigns, was passed. Mr. C. J. ISigetsoll, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported a bill providing that ex ecution tor capital offences should be conducted privatelj’, in the prison yards. A bill was reported granting pensions to wid ows of otHcers lost in the U. S. sloop Hornet. In the Committee on the Judiciary Ihrongh Mr. Berrien, reported against the Hpu bill repealing the Bankrupt art; and rec<afciended that the Bankrupt act be modified by pniittijg the voluntary features, and requiring* the assent of two-thirds of the ere liters to a discharge, li is diiiieult to say wifli certainty, whether this new project will lint! favor with lite senate.

Arrival of Henry Clay in Mobile. Disappointed us our citizens were, the day belore ye iei>lay, by the noil-arrival of our dis tinguished guest, owing to the accident that happened ihe boat on which he embarked, alter the beauti in I and gorgeous display made by our Military, and by the Fire Department, on that occasion, it could hardly lie expected that a sec ond attempt would be on a scale of equal mag nificence. Still, nt an early hour yesterday, as soon as the steamboat Fashion brought the in telligence that the Creole, with Henry Claj- on board, was down the bay within six miles oi the city, the town immediately became alive with enthusiasm, to give onr promised visitant that cordial greeting which was due to an individual so celebrated in our country's history, and one so nearly and deeply identified in his feelings and principles, with the interests of the South. Tlie steamboats in port at once lighted their fires, and made preparations to proceed down to form an escort. The military also, before the hour of nine, made their appearance in Ihe streets, iu their neat and tasteful uniforiifsj in-, dicatin"; their readiness to do the honors of the day, with all the ardor and spirit that could have been shown on tire day previous, had our guest arrived. Alter tlie firing of the signal gun, our citizen soldiers rallied like magic. The boats, the Jefferson, the New Albany, and the Formo sa, swept down the stream, on their xvaj’ to form a cortege to the Creole. The military, the first regiment of Alabama Volunteers, the Major General and his Staff, Brigadier General and his Stalf, Officers of the Army and Navy, and the Officers of the IStli and 49th Regixietits, were soon formed iu line, and proceeded to the spot designated as tlie place of reception. The xvhart was thronged by multitudes, an hour at least before the.arrival. Carriages of all de scriptions rolled in, and the streets were block ed up in every direction by moving anc living masses, eager to get:: view, or hear the voice of Henry Clay. • At about eleven o'clock, the Creole, with its attendant conv<>y of boats, came up. .V girn from the Creole, was the signal to tlie State Artillery to Commence a salute—amt tlie beau tiful field-pieces of this gallant and spirited company, gave lot th their voices of welcome in thunder tones, that made tliefirm earth tremble, and tlie far oil'hill-: revcrbciatc their mites.— The appearance of the boats, as they sped along past the city, was imposing in tlie highest de- Their decks yerc crowded witli pa.-.sen gefCUnd tln it- hrmnersmla.' '‘stars and sttepes-,’,’ the idol flag of even* true American, were Heat ing proudly in the’breeze. After passing the city, the boats wheele.l, and th ■ Creole-, with our city's guest <nt 'Jlioani, canid back to the place appointed for the landing. As she touch ed the wharf, a loud'chyer was given fioiji the assembled thousands, t.i Himy of the West. . He was met by the Chairman ot the CdiimiiTee ; of Arrangements, and conducted to the stand, which had been erected Ibr tlie purpose, where !■ Gov. Gayle, in an eloquent and appropriate ad dress, welcomed him to Mobile and Alabama. . To this salutation, Mr. Clay responded in his usual happy and impressive language. These ceremonies over, Mr. C. was conducted td ass . elegant barouche, drawn by four beautiful and well caparisoned grey horses, and immediau lj , took his place in the procession, as previously designated in the jirogrammc. The crowd was so immense, and there was such, a confused L murmur of many voices, that very tew pets ms ! could hear either the address ol Gov. Gael-', or the response of Mr. Clay. . We are told. In-w --; ever, they were both ol' them rich ill seniiment, , and felicitous in diction. We were promised . reports of both, but at a late hour lasi evening, they had not ereue t i hand. The procession httying-organized, in the ut most harmony, and good order, moved bb in its destined course through tlie city. Every where the streets were thronged. As iiright be expect ed. in so vast a multitude, hundreds were anx |- ions to gel a glinipse of the great lion of the , day, and accordingly crowded the street in the vicinity dfthe carriage in which Mr. Clay was . seated, during its whole passage through the . city. The.window's, trdeonie:- and dotirj of tlie houses along the streets where the procession passed, were filled to overflowing with fair faces ’ and beautiful forms, "ivingto otir'guest by their looks of gladness and other tokens of regard, a ' more eh'learing welcome than Could be dofie by the glitter of aims or the pomp and pngeantfy oi public parade. The ceremonies ended, upon the procession's reachinglhe house oi'Mr. Led yard 011 Government street. Mr. Clay remained a nioinent upon the entrance into the house with head uncovered, anil bowing, to the assembled throng. A voice called'for three cheers I and immediately the “welkin rang" with miniding shouts—"again!''—and <m< more the voices ol that multitude went up t> heaven in am in peal.
