•ANIMAL MAGNETISM. IjrUir from Dr. Uric him In Mr. Slniu Nrvv York, Sept. 1, 1e37. My Dcnr Sir;-— Understanding that y»n have recently witnessed many experiment*, kn<l even pet formed s-in- yourself, illostral ive of tl»e powers of Animat M ignelism, «mi )mvc beei n.c a beheicr in tin* new nit, sci* i ncc, or iinpnstutc, 1 am exceedingly desirous «f knowing what phenomena. wtlnvssoi d by yourself Imvc served to convince you. An mat Magnetism lias attracted the atten tion of many of Ibc most scientific men in Europe, some of whom believe in Hie < x- Inordinary power ascribed to it. Inst vry remarkable effeals may result from 'Xirnnc sensibility. or disease of the nervous system, 1 can readily believe,—wr see sucb in Gala leiisy. Somnambulism, Sic. W c read of such in every age. In every age.grent moral com. motions, by affecting tbeorgmezviou of some very sensitive persons, have produced very singular physical and intellectual pbomm.e na. The Tremhleurt Jen Cerenne* and tbc Convulnionnariet de tfainl Me,turd, arc memorable instances. Many ol tbc re sults aitrdmled to Animal Magnetism may be accounted for, by supposing an nnmml aug mentation of scnsibilny.-'-bnl oilier pliciiomc na ascribed to it cannot le thus explained, and an immeiuily </ proof appears to me to be * necessary, in order to ealublmb tilings so extraordinary, and so eonlrnry to the com mon sense and to the testimony ol ail tunes. The facts which have served to make yon a believer in An mat Magnetism, must lie cun ous and interesting, and when your leisure permits, 1 beg you will fnmwli thorn nt ib lad, that others may know on what evidence one who has been charged with a laniard able want of credulity on some subjects,and who must.

Dear Sir—Ycjnr favor of the I ' ni.'aut reached me several days since, aml m '< as "a round unvarnished lain" will scrv< tho pur* poses of your inquiry, I can have ird the ■lightest objection In a compliance with V" request. 1 can the more readily '' Ibis, from the cireamstnnce, tint the pr.» it ■ • t pm lion of the labor s already peifermed , Hint is. if you prefer, ns I presume y"t ■ , 1 ■ 1 • • • tain circumstances co tnoefed will Anmi if Magnetism, which transpired during a bud «isil recently made by mo to Ibo city of Iho vidence. A full narralion of tbit visit, so far at it was connected with Animal Magitoti.-in “falsely an called"—for I hold that m/l.'i ll i;g can rightly be regard oil as a sciento which has not been reduced to fixed principles- was written immediately alter my icturn, wlnle all the circumstances were fresh in my recollec tion: and, in order In still greater accuracy, I have since made another llymg visit to Rhode Island, and submitted the nnmiicnpl to severs I persons wbi were present ul the time when tint events related oectned. Before I proceed to the main design of the present communiciiiion however, allow me to correct a misapprolicnsion into wliieli, like snsny other of my friends, you have been be trayed by the lose reports of common t une. Tlieinferencc from your letter is, that I Into suddenly become n convert to An nul M.tg ijelism, to tho whole extent claimed and prac ticed hv Frederick An'liony Meamer, the founder of tho art, and contended for hy V ol fart and Kluge, and tho other German and French cntbiuiaatc, who have written in <x planation and snppnrl of the system. This is an error. I uni not » positive believer in tho syslom, because I know not what to be lieve; and yet, I am free to confess, t hut 1 have recently bulieM phenomena, tinder eir cnoiMtancCS where collusion, deception, hand, and imposture, woio alike out of the question if not impossible, which have brought me from the position of a positive sceptic to a dead piuso. From the evidence ot my sen scs, I havo boon compelled, it not to relinquish, at least very css ally to modify, my disbebel ; slid 1 can no longer deny, although 1 cannot explain, the extraordinary phenomena produ ced by Iho exertion of tint mental energy of one person upon tho tn ml of another, while in a itite i f what is formed mugne n slumber. Still, I pray you not to write mo down as a believer in the eliarhita neric of Meamer and Deslun, or ns mi en -conrnger of the other strolling dealers in .somnambulism, who traverse the country ex hibiting their “sleeping beauties," as lovers, not of science, but of gain. For many months past, i« common w.tb •most renders, it not all, el the public jour nals, I b ul seen much upon the subject of Am nnal Magnetism, particularly in connexion •with the names of pupil, iMtss Gleason. Tho illustrations of JU. I’oyen, and Mias exploits of Gleason w bile under the magnetic influence imparted by -hiniTiad been standing themes of eommont in the \'ew England papers. I had seen that M. Poyou was favored by many bohovers, •oino of them, even, among the disciples of .Esculapiua. There were others, laymen and members of the faculty, who doubled. Oth ers, again, and probably Inr the largest da <s, were posit ve sceptics. These w ere doing all in tlteir power to discredit tho profe-s.e-, bis science, and bis patient, ns well by argument n« by the withering proce-s ol ridicule. Still, M. I’oyen persisted in tho illustrations of b a favorite science, and I /ml noted that accessions to Ibo number of believers in bis system w ere occasion ally gaii;.’, even trout the ranks both of the learneu and the wise. Educated, Im v. ever, in the belie flit it Mustner was hi impos tor, that h;a lollowum were enthusiasts, and his patients affected, il at ail, only through the workings of the r own imaginations,—and fli«lili'ng, ex «>•.!:ugly, th«* public e.x uh Imi .. tie Was sinking Itr mmi y, ( war not only nu unbeliever,bin a sitimt ot t‘.' « e at. filr.

Tito early history of Amm-ai Magnet'*.n was familiar to me. I had r. ad also of the Uonvulsionnvros do S:. Me lard, of winch yon have reminded me; ot the strange epidem c which set half tho nuns in fibriafendom sininf nneously to mewing like eats and kitten* in concert ; of tho still stran ger doings among various religionists in Ken tucky, some thirty or forty years ago; and of course 1 hul not forgotten the melancholy delusion which once overspre id New Engl md in regard to witchcraft. My inclination, therefore, was to write down Animal .Magne tism in the same catalogue ol the eccentric ties, if nut llie absurd lies, ol the hum in mind; and to look upon its e.vlcntion in Rhode Is ■land as the work, if not of credulity and im posture, at least of mental excitement, sym pathy, aud delusion. Such, in brief, were my views and feelings in regard to Animal Magnetism, until on or .about tba’-JJ I day of August ultimo, when n i letter"was placed in n-y hands* ly a I’inv.-1 denccgeniletr.au, tVoin a distinguished prelate j in the M| tfcptl tlhii'oli, llidi on a v.sil to, that city, i >l v ling my allc ul ion lo the «lihj >ct, i aad mliiiiaiiiig the writer'* l.ehul, llist were I , to invesiigaif the phenomena ot the magne-1 ’ tic nifieenre in) sell, I might perhaps be more j i sparing n| my sarcasms in realtion to it.

In regard to Alisa ILacketl, i was aaroj red, upon authority not to he questioned, that J ilie power of seeing objects not present, or j 1 rather oi transporting liersolt in imagination j j iiom one place to another, no matter how I i distant, mid of viewing objects and scenes j which she had never seen or heard described, and giving correct accounts ol them herself, liadheen strikingly displayed in many instan ces. One gentleman had taken her lo Wash ington, wheic she accurately described the local,in., I lie Capitol, and the objects with in ami around it. Another, tome time emeu, had taken tier lo Now-York and plucrl ', lt . r |in the Park, and conducted ho' ,o sundry jollier places. On one while wa lking her supposed tt gieam-boat, j she became re' 0 -cli, and gave the actual on j feigned s v '„|> , .ums of that nauseating disease, j I" tuition lo which, Mr. Hopkins, the gen- H'.eiuan at whose house she waslo meet us, j look her on the evening of the Sabbath, the day before 1 wan lo mo her, to Saratoga Springs, whence he and Mrs. Hopkins had J just returned. Mr. 11. told me on Monday morning that her desc>iptiun ol the buddings, and localities at the Springs was conect ; j and that when in fancy he took her to the Congress fountain, to drink of the water, she dashed it from her on lasting, and said she disliked it—suiting the muscular action ol her features lo tire expression of that dislike. With such information in my possession,! determined in my own mind upon a course of examination winch would test the case most thoroughly, and in a manner rendering decep tion, delusion, and imposition of every kind, entirely onto! the question—even did not the exec lent character of all the parties afford an ample guarantee against any & every attempt of the kind, iiut I kept several ot*the particular lesis which 1 meant lo employ entirely within my oa n bosom, not imparling a hint or aug goal ion of my design except to my most inii male friends. Agreeable to appointment, wo tin t at the hunscMjf Air. Hopkins a few minutes holurcten on Monday theUStli of August. There were present the literary ft lend already inferred to, another clergyman with ins daughtei&. another young lady; Mr. and Mrs Hopkins, Mr. Isaac Thuiher, another gentleman whose name ! do not recollect, Doctor Cupron and myself. The patient was presently ushered into the room, and wo were ail introduced to Inn—passing a few muineniH in agreeable conversation. I found the young lady of delicate in mi and manners, modest and dilfideiit. None could see without being favorably impressed in her behalf. She was, ol' course, u.vvaro of the object ol our visit; ami Ur. Cuprou toon took a seal fb ar her, and commenced the process of what is called magnetizing. I ought before to have remarked, that Dr. Cupron had previously cautioned mo not to expect too great things, since it was a mailer of uncertainty whether the slumber would he profound, and the mind clear; and whether, moreover, she might not hucoine wayward ami obstinate, alter being i brown into sleep. Much depended on the calmness of his own mind and li t- intensity of \lsjixedncss upon the bu sinessin hand; much also depended upon the j slatoof imml otijn) patient. The precurs was chiefly hy the action of the eyes, with some light iir.iiipulaliuns. In those, however, there was nothing disagrees hie or objectionable, in the remotest degree, oven to the most refined ami sensitive mind. In live minutes the patient gave signs of downiness, and in four minutes more siio was in a deep and profound slumber—insensible, ns wo ascertained by expeiintent, alike lo [ tbejoucb and the voices of all present, excepting her physician. He then told her that lie wished her tube in cummuncntiun with all of us, and lo converse with nil ihe company present who w.shed to ['speak with her. On the instant she seemed aware that she was in the company of several people, and gave indications ot displeasure. “1 don’t like to he looked at in this way by strangers,” she said. The Doctor attempted to soothe her, but 1 she manifested displeasure, and said she | would nut stay lo bo thus gazed at by strati- I gem. j Doctor, "But they are not strangers; they I are your friends. You have been introduced jio them, and after being introduced, people | are no longer strangers. ’ Miss Brackett. “I'll not ho looked at in this way; I will leave the room." Saying which she roso with offended dignity, and walked toward the door. I began now lo fear that the experiment was ended, and that her obstinacy could not be removed. The Doctor, however, took her hand, and succeeded in changing her purpose,when sire walked into the other part of the drawing loom. It was arranged that the first experiments should he made for the purpose of eliciting some of the phenomena of clairvoyance, or mental vision. For this purpose an exhibition was made of various prints, largo and small, likenesses of distinguished persons, &c„ with width my friend had provided himself from Ids own house. With some of these the front parlor was hung, before we entered it from the back room, while the smaller prints were thrown upon the centre table, it must hero bo borne in mind,in die fust place, w hat lias already been several limes remark ed, dial the patient is blind. Her eyelids, more over, were entirely closed ; in addition to which ' codon balls were placed over her ryes, and con fined by a pair of green spectacles, 1' would, i therefore, have been impossible for her to sec—or ( rather, any other pers u would have been invol- ! ved in the deepest d.nkncss, with eyes thus elo. j 1 sod, and then cotton balls over them. Soon after going into the room she appeared j to see the pictures and admire them. This fact was tes'ed in every way. Fium her repugnance to so much company, however, the litilo circle drew as much as possible aw ay from her, and her chief conversation on the subject of pictures was t bold with my friend, with whom,both sleeping Ce | walking,she bad previously been acquainted. In- ; ' variably,when sbo studied a picture,she turned her | back upon the wall against which it hung. When | she look up a print to examine it, she helo it at the buck of her head, or rather just over th parietal bone. With ny end she coioei.-, 1 freely, and selected from die small prints a i likeness of Mrs, Judson, whoso life she said i she "had read several limes. She took up a portrait, while standing on the side of the room ; ..ppO*Ucto my friend and myself, and putting n I to die side of her head, almost behind, as she rc. i mainrd alone, inquired—“is not this the likeness ; »t John Foster ?—John—Yes, it is John Foster,” I immediately passed around the table to her, and bold a brief conversation with her respecting the 1 characters am! writings ol Fuser —of whom 1 dicie had not been a word said, before she select- i cd his picture and pronouneed his name. Her j reading of the names on the prints were very slow, as sbo read by Ictleiinff, us the freemasons , call it; that L, by studying each letter, and fust 1 repealing it ill « whisper, as though to herself. < Hut she made no nnsiakcs that were discovered. , Sbo had an objection to lead, arising IV , m au idea, ii wo were looking at the picture with her ' that we know a< well as she, and that was idle in I u« lo ask her what we could not lie ignorant of. i If. however, she was holding a picture by herself in a different part of the room, on asking the" * question w hose likeness she was looking at ! she 1 would answer correctly, as in iho case cf J u (, n t Poster.

Mr. Editor: Since the opening of (ho Thcalrc we have visited it but once, anil perhaps should not have visited it all this season, bad it not been for Iho many persons of whom we have hoard speak ot the performances of Mrs. McClure in terms 1 1 iho highest commendations. Hearing that the part of Jlinnca Was a favourite one of Mrs. McClure, I was determined lo witness her personation of this arduous character. I went, and i must confess that my high expectations were more than realized. 1 had often seen the same piece performed in Ihe Northern Theatres, but I must say, that Mrs. McClure’s Jiianca was the best personation of that character, that I have ever witnessed. She is indeed a charming actress, and deserves the golden honors that I un derstand she is nightly winning: Mr Forbes Fazio was a good piece of acting, & addul much to bis fame ns an actor.

The Sub-Treasury Bill is fairly before the House of Representative* and the Constitutional I 1 parly there are extremely anxious to urge the ex- I petimenlers to a vote upon il. Yesterday Mr, | 1 Ogden Hoflman of K V., the celebrated barrister, ! mad,- a speech in opposition to il.which has placed ‘ him in iho very first rank among those most dis- 1 tinguished for debating power, as well as nervous ;! and splendid eloquence. Some of the passages ! ' possessed a power and beauty never exceeded bv j 1 the best speakers in cither House. His reply to 1 Mr. Fickcns vas eminently beautiful and impres- j 1 viv< - ; and whatever difference of opinion may E exist among the friends of the respective gentle- | r men as to the comparative effect of their speeches. ' 1 noouccould refuse to Mr. Holhnan the sujierior ity in powers of argument and rejoinder. J Sir. Hoffman exposed, with remarkable power e the inconsistencies of the President himself, and i ot Mr. Speaker Polk, and Mr. Cambrclii g, in j t reference lo this bill, lie showed from the Ales- * 1 sage ot tljs “bank-making Governor,” as he called ! a Air. Van Huron, that when he filled the Gulier- I 1 nitons! chair of the Stale of New York, hisopin- j 8 ions and recommendations were in direct contra- j ricty to those expressed in the Message. He : t quoted from the speeches of Polk and Cambreling, i made in 1835, long extracts expressing the i strongest repudiation of the whole scope and | tendency of the Sob Treasury scheme, when then I pmpo-cd by Gen. 0«>»:!cn ami Mf.C i;rh’.c. Ue made a glorious >’■ cos the credit system, and portrayed with great | > >er the cop-cqnenets j, which ha 1 flowed from i. .a the happiness ate, prosperity of tlx- whole country. ; When he finished, ATr. Hunter of Va.,roas and spoke in support of he measure. The good “Out | , Dominion” bad the rest us the lilting entirely to j herself. Mr. Hunter eamo hero ns n Whig; but j lie goes with Mr, Calhoun and Mr. Pickens in favor of the Sub Treasury system; and yet huis, i not so min hin favor of il as not to be nlitilc l iag:'ii:-l it; and he rated the ad ini-Cation in I such round terms about their various deeds, that I I nuut confess my surprise at his finding it pos-: I'ihlc to tr;;>t them v. i;h so dangerous a measure I as this is. Ho was followed by Mr. Mason 01, - Va , a staunch conservative, who made an iibie j (argumentative speecii against the bill. His j colleague. Mr. Robertson, took a hit at the bill, the conservatives, and the administration; and | : irngtheri colleague spoke at length in support of ■fthe provisions which he proposed to substitute for the hill, and which arc, in substance, those ot the currency bill of the last session. The com mittee rose when Mr. Garland finished his speeclq and, without coming to any decision, the House adjourned. The Senate had under consideration yesterday the ware house bill. Messrs. Clay and Calhoun labored strenuously to have it postponed till next session, on Iho ground that action on it at this period must necessarily be precipitate, and that the House could not have time lo act upon it. — The majority, however, went against them. The hill was taken up, and after little or no discussion, i ordered to a third reading, and finally passed to ; day. The Senate also after debate, have passed a bill to suppress Ihe issuing of small notes in this ' District. Mr. Grundy, from the Committee of Ihe Judt- I ciaiy asked the discharge of that committee from, the further consideration of Iho part of the Presi dent’s Message rcla'ive lo a bankrupt law. Mr. I Benton took the opportunity ibis offered, lo speak i at length in favor of such enactment; and Mr. Crittenden replied to him, and opposed such a law on grounds of the Constitution and expedi ■ cney. The subject was then, hy consent, info.mally laid aside till iotnonow, end the Senate went into Executive session. No action yet upon Mr. Wise’s resolution fo r 1 inquiry into the abuses and mismanagement of the Florida War. It was debated today, and again the discussion was interrupted without any vote being taken, by a motion to go to the orders of the day. The Hull Treasury bill was taken up in Com mittee of the Whole again. Mr. Haines of Oa., ■ made a long speech in favor of the hill. Mr. Cal boon of A'.«is., replied to him and Mr. Pickens, - am! opposed the measure. Air. Pope, of Ky ,is nmv speaking, with great force and animation, I also against tiro bill. It is believed it will be got , out of Committee tonight. M. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13ih, 1837. A vote was taken last night itt the House on the proposition ot the Conservatives relating lo 1 iho currency-the proposition brought forward by Mr. Garland of Va., lo stiike out the whole of the Sub-Treasury Bill alter tbo enacting clause, , ami insert the provisions of the currency Bill of , the last session. The motion was negatived Nays 81, Ayes 72. Previous to this, Mr. Pope , of Kentucky, who twenty years ago used lo cor.tend with Clay, Calhoun, and Webster for : Iho palm ol victory in debate,.made a powerful speech in favour of the constitutionality, expedi j emy and beneficial effects of a National Bank, [ :yid argued for the establishment of such an in , solution in preference to the suh-Trcasury i scheme. He was followed by Mr. Cost Johnson ul Md, who also spoke in opposition lo the Bill. The Committee after rejecting the scheme of ihe Conservatives rose, and reported progress and obtained leave to set again. Iho discussion of the Bill was resumed today, and Mr. Lcgaro of S. C., who obtained the Hour last night made one of the most able, instructive and eloquent speeches lhat have ever been heard in Congress. He was occasionally most splen did in h's imagery, and he threw over every point, ho touched -a copiousness and variety of illustra tion which showed lhat he possessed a mind of the very first order. He went against the bill laio carlo. He differed entirely with President \an Uuren as to the causes of ihe present dU ordeis and embarrassments in the country ; and also in regard to the obligation on the Govern ment to lake care lhat the people be provided with a sound and convenient currency. He sposc wilh bis accustomed chase and nervous eloquence of the credit and the effects it had pro duced upon iho prospects and happiness of the people. Many ot his illustrations were drawn 1 from what he had himself seen during his resi dence in various pails of Europe ; and they were ol and applied with singular power and effect. When he finished, Mr Naylor of Philadel plnu, who was in his youth a comb maker, made i a reply to Air. Pickens, as to that gentleman’s \ , attacks upon the capitalists and laborers of the j > unil *kcn opposed the bill in a very judi j cions and energetic speech. The House then took a recess. i During the morning hour a hill to give cum- ' ponsatiou lor losses of horses it mules incurred in 1 the I lorida Campaigns, by volunteers, was passed- ’ Ihe Senate have adopted resolutions for inqui- ] nos into the proceedings of the Commissioners under the treaties with the Cherokee and Choc taw Indians, and also a resolution calling on the President for information relative lo the claims of 1 the Lnited States on Mexico. ihe V ice President of the United States hav- j mg intimated yesterday his intention not again to lake the chair of the Senate, during thc°prc sent session, an election of a President /u-o ten was gone into to-day: and on the first ballot Mr- King of Alabama was elected by a largo majority. He was conducted to the Chair by Judge White the oldest member of the Senate,and made a very grace Iu I address expressive of his acknowledge ments fur the distinguished honor conferred upon him. ihe molion of Mr. Grimily lo the Judiciary Committee from the further consid eration of the part of the Piosidunt Message which relates to a Bankrupt Law, was then taken up,ami Mr. Southard addressed the Senate against the constitutionality and oxpe liency of such a measure. After ho finished his remarks , an Executive session was held; hut no important appointments were acted on. Wc arc pfJtitcd lo the Merchants Exchange, New Orleiaits, lor the following information.
