ARCTIC EXPEDITION. MORE CLAIRVOYANT PROPHECIES.

(From the "Liverpool Mercury.") Two clairvoyanti have now averted that they have •een Sir J. Frauklin's Arctic Expedition. In October last a female at Bolton, having been put into the chairvoyant state, gave a viv.d description of the Arctic regions, and pointed out on a map the then position of the ships belonging to the expeditions of Sir J. Franklin md Sir James Ross. Acrording to her statement, the vessels of bath commanders were frozen up in a place supposed »o be P.tnce Regent* Inlet, in sipht of each other, and £ir John expected to be out of the ice in nine mouths and on liii way home. Supposing thii statement to be tme, the expedition might be expected to return to England in or about September next. Thcic is in Liverpool another female chirvoyante, whose disclosures have already caused much sensation amongst a large number of individuals. We allude to a young women in the service of Capt. Hudson, of 5, Cheircrfield-btreet. Capt. Hudion i> well known in this town as a man of religious principle, of strict integrity, and as having been for mauy years connected with the Bethel Union. For some time past he has felt much interest in and paid considerable attention to mesmerism, and especially to its higher range of phenomena. The girl in question was very poor and quite uneducated, and she h.id, moreover, au affection of the arm, w hich prevented her from using it in the acquisition ol a livelihood. This infirmity was tetnoved, through mesmer c Bgrney, by Capi. Hndsou; she was taken into his service, and, having experimented upon her, he has found her to be not only a susceptible tne«meric subject, but one who has developed to a very considerable extent the power of clairovoyanc2. On the 9th infant, in consequence of a request communicated to him from Lady Fianklin, C»pt Hudson •• put the pjirl to sleep," ns the mesmerists Myle the opciation of throwing the patient into that state which only resembles sleep in some few of its phenomena, and in that state the following d.sclosures were mude as to the Arctic Expedition :— "Didyousa)" inquired the orator, "that Sir J. Frankin is dead ?" And to this and other questions the clairvoyante responded, " That cannot bs, tor I sec him ; poor fellow ! he looks sad and wearied, and not f.o well as nhen I was last here. (The giil had previously been tent in search of the musing Expedition). He says he N poorly and tired, and ulmost worn out with hopes defened; but his men console him and bebave nobly. God never made a path through these desolutc wastes. Whit could induce him to try to break through the«e icy mountains 1 He frequently think 9 of the folly of his daring to do so. Such thoughts humble him, and make him sad and hope* less ; and yet he thinks he will succeed in returning to England. He is right. He will return in six months and three or four d«ys. The suipi are at a great distnnce from each othei. Tlu j y look diity and buttered. They have no sails set. They (the seamen) are cutting the ice before them. In some places it appears ss thick as two houses; in others, like mountains. They (the ves§els) are in a different place now to what they were when I was last here. They are now where ships never sailed before. They are not returning the same road they went. They are going that way (pointing to the west). What can be the use of this roud i It ought iierer to have U/en sailed ? It will never be sailed •gain. He has seen some of the natives. They are wild, stupid, and uncommunicative. The veisels sent out to search for him (Sir J. Frank'in) will not find him; the will cross each other, and he will be nit>t heard at this place called the Cape. It appears to hare no other name." The above were replies to questions put in the presence of two highly respectuble parties residing 1 in Liverpool. The accuracy of the above report will be Touched for by Captain Hudton; so that in less than six monthii weeither shall have to iccord the arriral of SirJ. Franklin or the ulter failure of clairvoyants to see those unknown and distant things which they pretvnd to see. It will be observed that both the 80l on and the Liverpool oracle fix uearly the same period for the return of the musing Expedition. According to the former, Sir J. Franklin would probably reaclt England In September next; whilst the litter, with a remarkable attempt at precision, fixes the 12th and 13th of •September as the date of the return.

Uuc lair and physic only in cases of necessity ; they that use them otherwise abuse themselves into weak bodies and light pu bcs ; they are good remedies, but bad recreations. An author tnyt, that " pride wai never made for man," It is difficult to tell who it was made for. Man has, however, monopolized a good nhare of it. " Come here, my lad," raid an attorney to a boy about nine year* old. The boy went, and asked the atlorney what case was to be tried next. The lawyer »n« svrired, " A case between the people and lite dcvil — which will be the most likely to gain the action ?" The boy replied, " I guess it will b- a pretty hard squeeze —the pn >ple have got the moM; money, hut the devil bat the mo*t lawyers.''— American Paper.
