Newspaper Page TextP ‘ ts head 18 Ant, and p jj wide, like that °f cat-fish, with ■ ‘,„ “ It is certainly ugly enough.— ■ rft arrival in England, the proprie .,red Professor Farady (to whom this I’ i ujji v possible discover, within the ■ ve hundred years, that it owes some ,[,e privilege of experimenting upon . r scientific purposes, and the result , ( ,,t number of experiments, ingenious tt,J, a:J executed with great nicety, p-oved the identity between the elec 'flie t-lwek, the circuit, the sparks ’ distinctly obtained ; the gnlvanator was v affected i chemical decompositions iitained; an annealed steel needle be ■ magnetic, and the direction of its po ■ in d:cHfed a current from the anterior Pj -tcrior parts of the fish, through the | ;ors used. The force with which the I , ric discharge is made is also very con- f nl ble, for this philosopher tells us we may I j e that a single medium discharge of J ig at least equal to the electricity of .Jen Battery ot fifteen jars, containing ■ ’thousand five hundred square inches of (oated upon both sides, charged to its f< t degree. But great as is the force of ,| e dijclrirge. the Uyinnotus will some nive a double, and even a triple shock, scarcely any interval. Nor is this nil. •■f instinctive action it has recourse to in ... 10 argument the force of the shock, is ■jtf remarkuble. i ;.|p Professor one day dropped a live fish, aches long, into the tub ; upon which the i not us turned round in such a manner f o rtn a coil enclosing the fish, the latter v p esentiag a diameter across it, and the was struck motionless, ns if lightning had through the water. The Gyranotus jnnivJen turn to look for his prey, which , v j n j found, lie bolted it, and then went out seeking for more. A second smaller was tben given him, which being hurt, wed little signs of life ; and this he swal apparently without “shocking it.” We informed by Dr. Williamson, in a paper i, communicated some years ago to the rv! Society, that a fish already struck 1110- itfs p.ve signs of returning animation, h the Gymnottts observing, ho instantly’ jjiiarged another shock, which kil ed it. “idler curious circumstance was observed Professor Farady,—tlie Gymnotus np jnred conscious cf tho difference of giving a | ck to nn animate and an inanimate body. I:J would net be provoked to discharge its 1 .vers upon the latter. When tormented a glass rod, the creature in the first in ■flneo threw out a shock, but as if lie per :ei;ed his mistake, lie could not be stimula ;:Jafterwards to repent it, although the mo nent the Professor touched him with his uads, he discharged shuck after shock. He [refused, in like manner, to gratify the curi oiiiyof tlie philosophers, when they [touched l.ini witli lticlalic conductors, which he per- Imilled them to do with indifference. It is worthy of observation, that this is the only specimen of the Gymnotus Electricus ever brought over alive into this country. The pat secret of preserving his life would np pearto consist in keeping the water at an | even temperature—summer and winter—of tenuity-five degrees of Fahrenheit. After caving been subjected to a great variety of [ experiments, the creature is now permitted 0 enjoy the remainder of its days in honor vole peace, and tho only occasion upon which he is now disturbed, is when it is found ne cessary to take h m cut of his shallow reser voir to have it cleaned, when ho discharges angrily enough shock after shock, which the itteiidauts describe to be very 7 smart, even hough he be held in several thick and well wetted cloths, for they do not at all relish the job. I The Gymnotus Electricus is not the only I endowed with this very singular pow ! er; there are other fish, especially the Tor pedo and Silurus, which nro equal!} 7 retnark ■ble, and equally well known. The peculiar structure which enters into the formation of lte<r electrical organs, was first examined hy the eminent nnntc.mist John Hunter, in the Torpido ; and, very recently Rudolphi has described thoir structure with great oxaci ds in too Gymnotus Electricns. Without entering into minute details, the peculiarity of the organic apparatus of the Electrical Eel seems to consist in tins, that *lis coinposoj of u imoreus Laminae or thin tendinous partitions, between which exists an infinite number of small cells filled with a tbiclush gelatinous fluid. These strata and cell s are supplied with nerves ofunusual size, Bll d the intensity of the electrical power is presumed to depend on the amount of ner vous energy accumulated in these cdls, “hence it can bo voluntarily contracted, furthermore, there are, it would appear, good reasons to believe that nervous pow er (in whatever it may consist) and elec tricity are identical. The progress of Sci 6ncft■ has already shown the identity be tween heat, electricity, and magnetism; that heat may be concentrated into elec- tricity, and this electricity reconverted into heat; that electric force may be converted into magnectic force, and Professor Faraday himself discovered how. hv reactmgback again, the magnetic force can be reconverted into the electric force, and vice versa ; and should the identity between electricity and nervous power be as clearly established, one of the most important and interesting problems in Physiology will be solved.” FROM CALIFORNIA. Arrival of the Steamship Crescent City—Another million in Gold Dust —lntelligence from the Gold Region Commercial Panic in California. The U. S. Mail Steamship Crescent City, Capt. Stoddard, from Chagres, via Kingston and Jamaica, arrived at her wharf in New York at half past three o’clock Friday morn ing, bringing 342 passengers, one million dol lars in Gold dust in the hands of the passen gers, and twenty-two thousand five hundred dollars gold dust on freight, From the mining regions the accounts though conflicting, are generally of an en Iftiger amount of gold will be taken out this *eaon than during any previous one, which will be divided however, among a greater number of miners, with perhaps less per man, than has marked the past. Great excitement it is said prevailed in the business circles relative to the recent failures, especially of banking houses, and the re cent assignments which have been made by some of the largest firms, have caused a good deal of nervous apprehension among business men. as in almost every case, was exhibited a large nmount of indebtedness. The Alta California of the 15th inst , says: \\ e must attribute tho present pressure in the money’ market, and the unsettled state of business generally, to the losses arising horn the three great fires with which We have boon visited, and in the unconquerable spirit of speculation, which has been car ried on to so vast an extent in our communi ty within the past year. It is supposed however, that, the present embarrassment will soon be over, and that, a general revival ot business will bo experienced during the lats ci pint of the present month ; confidence 13 even now, somewhat restored, and these disastrous circumstances, it is expected will bTing about highly beneficial results. W lion all the blandishments of hfe are gone, the coward sneaks to dealh, die brave live on — Dr. Se well. When penetration is guided bv malevolence and hate, it sees onfv that which is superficial ; but when benevolence and love direct it, it fathoms men and things, and may hope to attain unto the most eleva ted mysteries.
