Letter and Foolscap Paper.
For sale low by rL SLOAN,
aug 22 Hunters building.
The following particulars respecting the
Siamese boy^ now exhibiting in Boston, we
bavu extracted from & long statement of a
medical gentleman in the papers of that city.
The precise effect of this physical union,
on the intellectual faculties, the moral sen
timeote, and animal propensities of these
boys,—its influence on tho functions of tho
different organs, and how far it would com
municate or modify tho effects of morbid or
medicinal agents, are subjects on which wo
shall not enter. No opportunity hasyetpre-
sented ofobsp' ,v ' n g tUo influence which dia
eaoo or medicine in one, would exert ou the
other ; but ciroumstances do not appear to
justify the least suspicion of any mental indi
viduality. Whispering in the ear of one,
conveyed no cense of sound to the other.—
Volatile salts applied to the nostrils of one,
produced in ihe other only a curiosity to try
tho same experiment on himself. Pinching
the arm of ono, was attended by no sensa
tion in the other. Doing desirous of ascer
toining if there was any point where both felt,
we made an impressiou with the point of a
pin in tho exact vertical coutre of their con
necting link ; both said it hurt them. We
tbeu made other impressions, extending them
very gradually further from this poiot; the
result was, that within«lhe distance of three
fourths of an inch from -the centre toward
each boy, sensation was communicated to
both by a single prick; beyond this it was
excited in one only, tho other perceiving it
in no degree whatever* This experiment
was remarkably satisfactory, und we appre
hend that farther than hero exhibited, the
two youths must bo considered, whiUt in a
state of health, as free and independent a-
gents, and the functions of all tho other or
gaus os unconnected as those of their brains.
Twins generally resemble each other in
intellect and disposition, as well as io person,
and this is particularly the case with the boys
io question. When to this natural resem
blance we add the habit they have contract
ed of acting simultaneously and in concert,
we shall be lenB surprised than wo might at
first be, at the facility with which their va
rious movements are performed, and tho
quickness with which oue responds to the
inclinations of the other
Their alvine evacuntions generally occur
at the same time ; their appetites aud tastes
are very much alike ; and they appear not
only contented but happy, and extremely at
tached to each other. Capt. Cofliu wos in
formed by their mother, that she had borno
seventeen children, Once she had throe at
a birth,and never less than two; though none
of her other children were io any way de
formed.
Tho question naturally arises in the mind
of every observer, could not this connecting
substance be devided without injury to the
boys I Wo do not pretend to solve tins prob
lem, which after all can only be fully decided
by the experiment; but wo hesitate not to
sny that,after several very accurato exarnina
tions, our impressions are that aucb di?ibioo*
would be a detriment only to the very res
pectable and obliging gentleman who oifers
them for exhibition. The anatomical struc
ture of this bond of union is apparently aim
pie. and wo regard the fact that children eo
united should have beeo usherod into the
world with safety to themselves and' their
mother, that they should have escaped the
ills and and early fatality which usually at
tend such prodigies, that thoy should have
growu up to the ago of 18 years in the uni
form exercise of mutual good will and a spir
it of mutual accommodation, and that they
should be so perfectly contented with their
lot, and so happy io all the various unpleasant
circumstances in which they ore placed,as far
more remarkable tbaa that such a deformity
should have existed,
waited calmly for her husband to .wake from
his si u mbers. At day-light he began to move
and finding the predicament ho was in,pour
ed forth a torrent of curses upon his wife, or
dering her to release him instantly. She a.
rose, took down a raw hide which he had or-
ten nxorcisod upon her own perspn, and ap
proaching teh bed, with perfect composure,
recounted the injuries she had received—tho
ruin Jie had brought upon himself and farnilv,
the patience with which she had endured her
suflerings, and evRn declared that Bhe then
loved him as she did her own life—but she
could endure his tyranny no longer—she was „
going to her father’s houso, taking nothing
but her child and a few articles of clothing ;
before she went, however, she had a painful
account to settle with him. Suspecting her
intention, he promised amendment; but sho
commenced tho work of flagellation with all
tho strength sho could exert j he cried for
mercy and attempted to extricate himself,
hut his arms woie too firmly pinioned ; ho
rolled from the bed to the floor, but his wifo
kept the whip moving until she thought sho
had pretty well rt-pnid his kindness, whoa
she hid him good morning, took up her child,
mounted her horse, and rode away. Sho
called nt a neighbor’s house, made known tha
situation of her husband, and requested tjktit
at a certain hour he might be released, which
was accordingly done. Shame and mortifi
cation overpowered his love of drink : he
lived soberly for a year, when his wifo con
sented to return to his house, and they have
since lived happily and affectionately togeth
er, rearing up u numerous and well ordered
family.

Extraordinary Swimming Feat.—Dr.
Bcdtide, of whom most of our readers will
liavo heard as having accomplished several
foals ol swimming, undertook, on Thursday
su’nnigtil, for a wager of £20, to swim three
hundred yards in sixty strokes, in still water.
Before coinmeiieinsr his swimming feat, tho
Dociui* had his feet tied together, and a stick;
four feet lung, with a flag at one end, put into
each hand. In (his slate ho was rowed in a
boat into the middle of the pond, and thrown
into the water, where ho floated. A weight
of four pounds was then put upon his chest,
and ho hud intended to have floated to tho
shore in that way, but tho ucccssary motion
of his ai ms to propel him to tho shore dis
lodged the weight, and it sunk. It had re
mained, however, long enough to convinco
tho spectators that he could have borno it.—
After he had flMated to tho shore, ho com*
mcncod his task of swimming three hundred
yards in tixiy stiokcsj^and to tho astonish
ment of the spectators, who loudly cheered
him as ho came in, ho accomplished it with
grout ease iu 51 strokes, notwithstanding tho
disudvautugu of very shallow water.

liavo often thought of giving a list of our
Common Council, who aft, by blood or mar
riage, related to each other ; but the Chron
icle bus been bcfortdiuad with us in (his piece
of Corporate hearldry. In copying the list
wc disclaim nil intention of insinuating (hue
there is any tiling uufair in this kind of clan
ship. it is perfectly natural; and wo do
not 4 so much object to this particular league,
as to the principle of all corporate monopolies.
If men, like the members of our Common
Council, possess or usurp the power of fill
ing up thu vucanoies in their own bodies,
they will naturally prefer (heir relations to
others ; and nothing but tho popular voice,
fairly exerted, can counteract so natural a
process. With this preamble wo shall now
proceed to enumerate the relationship which
subriittU between the great majority of our
Common Council-men—the number of whom
suggests the idea of a parody on tho “ Four
and twenty fiddlers all in n row.”

The Americans are the only people in tbet
world who are much given to thepractico of
leaning back in, their chairs, and they are so
noted tor this, that when they aro travelling
in foreign countries, they are readily distin
guished. Our fame indeed for this practice
is so great, that wo once recollect havingf
been asked by a foreigner, whether it wa»
true, as ho had heard, that come of tho most
dexterous of our countrymen, could sit on
one leg of the chair, aod turn himself around*,
like a top. Capt. Hall, in his late book o c
travels, has noticed this peculiarity, but ho
has not done us tbo justice to say, that what
ever liberties a man may take with bis chair
when be is by himself, or however he may
consult bis own ease aod comfort in hia.atti-'
tude when alone ; he Is not authorised in
society to depart from the rule which in
other countries is considered to beof gentle
manly obligation. Philadelphia Gazette.
