And my heart turns wildly back and as

And my heart is looking to its days •

And my spirit needs a deeper power,
A tidier trust than earth :
A rest from ell this pageantry,
This tedious mask of mirth.
,Oh in those long, sad weary hour,
My spirit turns to thee ;
Young early vision otmy heart,

To thy own deep unchanging smite,
To thy bright trusting brow,

To tear thee front my heart ; .
But thou art shrtned too deeply 11;0 , 2,

TILE It E arc one or two 'exhibitions—though it
is hardly respectful to call them by that shilling
associated titleixhieh we have postponed, for
the purpose of trying to do justice to the great
names with zvhich they are associated, and the
historical, classical, and personal recollections to
which a visit to either of them—the ABBEY and
the Tow Ell—give rise. But we find with regret,
the More we ponder and reflect upon all those re
pertories of national monuments--whether the
bones of dui mighty dead in the one or their tro
pics in the other whether we contemplate the
scene of tears, grimns, sighs, and weary nights
and days of captivity in the TOwer, or tread light
ly over the hallowed spot
" Where even the great find rest.
And blended he the oppressor and the oppress',
we feel more and more ineapable.of treating these
memorable places in the way, and with that hi :it
tone they merit..
There is something in the system by whi h
one is eoinpelled to visit both the Abbey and t le'
Tower—driven in a crowd, like a dock of sheip,
before the warder or ranger who acts as shephe d,
which is death to all romance, and, as BUMS I as
it, -hardens a' within and petrifies the feeling;"
then the telling down of sixpence) upon the n il,
as if we were going into a Otos'," has somethi g
in it, we know not what, that reduces the current
of your thoughts into a sixpenny level, and elf c
tually puts an end to all the pleasure you, p o
posed.to yourself to derive from meditation
Your idea of the place becomes degraded i to
that of a sixpenny . show; and when you re
hustled by a crowd of curious impertinents, co k
neys, private soldiers—who get in for nothing
aborigines from the provinces, and the like, e
der). - the utmost powers of abstraction to carry
you beyond the notion that you are merely goipg
throughlhe N ilLrge routine of sight-seeing; killing,
in short, one of the lions.
If we could choose our time—if the Abbey and'
the Tower, instead of living let to small parties at
sixpence a-head, could be hired by the day or
hour, like one-of Seal's eight-oared cutters, won Id
we not have a meal of thein l Yea, even a kin

ES
ing words of high defiance throtigh life, when
death lays them here, at heads and tails, like hag•
gars in St Giles's l We are here, and we tell
you ; Edward the Confessor, Richard the Second,
Elizabeth; and the rest of the royal skeletons—
and you, meaner phrosphatcs of dukes, princes,
field-marshals, admirals of the red, courtiers, min
isters of state—and you also, crackskulls of Po
ets' Corner—that the humble individual who has
the honor to address you—we, even we, the warm
blood careering merrily through the blue veins;
our osteology kept together by sinewy ligaments,
wrapped up in warm surtouts, of good stout
muscle, and covered with Ws appropriate cutticle ;
able to move Sent and go whither we list, take
the air, hear the lark carol, and look at the sun
beams dancing on the rippling waters; yea, we
consider ourself worthier, greater, mightier, than
ve all!
Hark in your ear, Bess, down below—can you
sign our death-warrant I We should rather think
not, old lady ! Where arc your lying poets. idol
atrous courtiers, your pet dogs of humanity, your
two-legged poodles, yea, and your wise men—
where is that old mud; Burleigh ; where honest
Walsingham ; where courtly Leicester, where
gallant Esser, and still more gallant -Raleigh I
Where is Anthony Rudd, who preached before
you, and-told you that age hail furrowed your
face, and besprinkled you hair with its meal ?"
Where are al the poor wretches ou put to death,
o'ye hear I
No answer
Lie still, ye unimportant, useless dead—what
are ye now more than iikanest!lust ! The pre
sent crier of the court at Westminster hall over
the way, is, of more moment in the eyes of men
than the whole lot of ye—yea, even the live bea
dle of Pancras parish is mote gorgeous, and Cor
oner Walkey oftner in the Mouths of men. What
had you in life more than lAn now power to
abuse it—flattery to be betook(' in the ear with--
and pomp to contrast with the dark, dark hole
wherein are stowed away your miserable relics.
Bah ! let me live-- . -as long as I can, as well as I
can, and as contented as I can ; let me thank
(hid for what I have, which is better to me than
all your subteraneous majesties and graces ever
had ; be. yours the preterite, mine the present
and the future tenses ; and when death domes for
his debt, what can befal- me worse than to be like
you--buried and forgotten Where will be
then, in brief. the difference between us! no more
than this--you rot within, and I witnout West
minster Abbey.
To conic down a peg or two, leaving medita
tions to Hervey,i , who understood that sort of
thing, the Abbey is a pleasant lounge in warm, or
we should rather say very hut weather: then, it
is of the temperature of an ordinary ice -house,
and with a pair of cork soles, a muffler, and a
scull cap—without which no one who does not
wish to join company with the illustrious dead
should enter the fane—we can get on very plea
santly ; depositing your hat and cane with a
foolish-faced, whiiiker-fringed man in a black
gown in Poet's Oerner, you dangle about, look
ing at the tomb of John Dryden, observing, by
the way, that the nobleman who had the honor of
contributing: the stone—a. Duke of Buckingham,
we believe--has had his own name cut letters
as large as those of the great man he professes to
commemorate ; this is like the picture of Jacky
Tar going to heaven holding on a bishop's tail!
Whitbread, the brewer, put up a bust of Milton
in Cripplegato Church, but he had the good
taste not to inscribe beneath , it ' , put up here
by Whitbread the brexer ;” however, when a
duke does a handsome thing, he has a right to
take care:that his merits shall be handsomely ac
knowledged.
In that corner behold the chastest tablet and
best inscription in the church,
Yon ICK
0 RARE. BEN JORNSON
There is the tablet to the memory of poor Gold
smith, the profile of the poet--a true llihcrnian
profile, by the way—with the inscription from
the pen of the great Sam, JohnsOn ; then, there
is the monument to Shakspeare, and Prior, and
Gay, hrol—but a batch has by this time been col
lected, and y ou are desired to move onward, stop
nog only to deposit your "tizzy" on the tomb of
some defunct Abbot, who hits the perpetual chink
of silver rattling in his ear--pity the good old
soul cannot hear it-Land you are free of the house.
The guides, as we base said, conduct you at such
a rapid rate, that you have no time to admire or
think over what you sec : in fact, each chappel
would occupy, with pleasure an entire day, and
that of Ilitryi V 11, you xx ould hardly thoroughly
exhaust in two ; when the guides leave you, how
ever, you camstrrlll more at leisure through the
body of the lurch ; and if have a sentimen
tal fellow-meditator, one who will not talk, but
Ax_ho pall thrill; with you, there is no greater plea
sure of the calm, contemplative kind, than flitting
from tomb to took and pausing to recall wander
ing recollections of the doings in the flesh of the
mouldering tenants below.. As the effect of con
trast, you ,can not do better than spend the fore
part of your day in Westminster Hat], amid the
rush of witnesses and clients, the bustle of attor
neys.

forcibly illtistrated. In the Hall, you see learned
gentlemen in wigs, crowing, arguing, and tom
bating like rival bantams for tame. You see
hordes—perfect swarms of the brietless, condemn
ed for life to look on while other men are eating ;
or, what is an hundred-fold worse, to listen, while
other men are speaking, for the hopeless thirst or
fame. You behold awful, eminent judges on the
bench, representing years of midnight anxiety and
toil, employed in reaching that envied elevation,
for the hope of fame. Half a minute's walk
brings you to a silent city, where" kings, heroes,
beauties, titles, fortunes, sleep neglected—the
sleep of death—no one remembering, caring for,
or troubling their heads about them. We behold
in the tombs how petty is gi andeur—beauty, how
Unsightly—fame, how obscure—fortune, how
mean—and if, after this, we return to the legal
arena, so far from seeing any thing admirable, or
mighty, or great, we behold a little busy hive of
stinging, unprofitable creatures, huniming and
droning away their little lives, and leaving no
more lasting memories _behind them than the
drones of the hives of lesser insects.

The Hartford bilks have advanced one step be
yond all previous experiments in phretio-magnet
ism. According to a correspondent of the New-
Haven Daily Herald of Saturday, marvelous things
were done at the house of n one of our meat du- :
tinguishrd public men en Wednesday. The mag
netiser was a young gentle:Wiwi of great renal and
religiOus worth, connected with the College in that
place. The subject of his experiments was an
interesting married lady, of high intellectual cul
tivation, must respectably connuected, and of nu.
impeachable integrity."
Here are some of the reported 'facts' aad devel.
oprnents:
At ono time she left her seat", complaining that
something in a distant part of the rooinclisturbed
her. She walked rapidly toward a corner, and
not-finding the cause of her uneasiness, she turned
lto the table, where some one had jest placed a
Stick of sealing wax, and was putting her Haul o
ver it, when a-gentleman who was aware of the
unpleasant -cffeets of electrical substances upon
her, instantly removed it from the room, mid she
returned 'to her chair rilitTed. To test this more
fully, another gentleman brought bark the sealing
wax and rubbed it on his sleeve not far born her.
She instantly ruse complaining that something
still annoyed her, and was not composed until
the cause of her discuinfirt was again rimoved.—
An eminent lawyer being introduced is her, she
began with him the discussion of some legal ipies
lion, astonishing, us by the clearness of her con
ception, or keeping us- in a roar of laughter by
the lively sallies of her wit. During this conver
sation, seine ono behind her placed his hand near
her head without touching it. She instantly evi
denced embarrassment, forgot the subject of dis
cussion, and could nut go an until the hand was
removed. The magnetizer then plectra; his hand
upon her forehead, her recollection was restored
and the conversation renewed. The magnetizer
then touching the argon of veneration, she
ahrubtly terminal , d the discussion, assuming an
attitude of devotion, and retest d all further com
munication with the physical world. Her devo
tion being ended, she was put in communication
with a scientific gentlemen, with who ii she held
a long and interesting conversation on the .subject
ul Animal Nlagnetism ; boldly contriivetting his
arguments and giving her own view of this extra
ordinary science with great clearness of thought
and beauty of expression. AtiJ here she seemed
like an ethereal (Ming—a being of another crea
tion—and in the language of the eminent rhyme
to whose church she belongs, i‘ she appeared per
fectly sublimated." After this she astonished all
by determining with wood, rful accuracy, the
phrenologiral characters of various individuals
present, and describing with most minute exact
ness, their several diseases, acute ur cl,ronic, inci
pient or confirmed. In another room, the magne
tizer directed her to go to sleep fir just, IWO 711( . 11-
,oes and a half, then to wake for half a minute,
L and-then to go to 'sleep again." A dozen watch
es were instantly noliti,g the tittle—that of the
magnetizer being taken from him to prevent the
possibility of collusion. The lady placed her
head in the natural attitude of a pars in reposing
in a rocking chair, and in precisely the trine des
ignated began to 'rub her eyes, which she partial
ly opened for precisely 30 seconds, when she clo
sed them and relapsed into the magnetic shop.
Many other experiments were performed during
4 ,the continuance of her magnetic state, in which
`she remained front 9 o'clock to 11 ; but I can give
I only a description of the last- one, which was to
me peculiarly gratifying. A gentleman present
was requested to sing and play a German snug for
her. The first note struck brought her to the pi
ano, when during the prelude she persisted in
standing, but the- instant ho commenced the song,
she sat down by him, and with o full, sweet voice,
accompanied him in the very words ho sung, al
though in her natural Menasha has no knowledge
of that language.. She then accompanied a French
gentleman in one of the songs of his country, and
afterward began again the Gorman suing, which
the pianist had hqn requested to sing once more.
During the performance of this, she was demag
netised, and, of course, discontinued her accom
paniment. Being asked by the': writer why she
stopped, and if she would not still accompany -the
other she '
. voice, she replied that sh knew neither the
words nor the air.

Correspondence, of the Erening Journal.
W *sal savos, June 3.
Nullfication Revived—lStute Rights—Threaten
ed Revolution in Polities—President Making.
In the debate which took place yesterday, in
the Senate, or the Apportionment Bill, several
Senators, and among them Mr. Woodbury, Mr.
Wright, Mr. : Buchanan and Mr. Benton openly
declared that'the law for districting the States in
to single districts would never be carried into el
fect ; that it. would be mollified and disregarded by
New Y:a.k, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Connecticut, Georgia, and other States.
Mr. Wright said we would see whether the gen
eral Governnwtit would undertake to enforce this
uncousti:utronal law and oppressive !awl—wheth
er they would undertake to deny to any State its
represent - dives, in consequence of their refusal to
elect members in the manner dictated by Con
gress; whether the prtuciple operative in the Rhode
Island case would be applied by the general Gov
ernmeia, and force resorted to by the Executive,
&c.
Mr, Woodbury teas still more vehement and
explicit. lie said Now Hampshire would utterly
disregard the law. This was the fourth or fifth
encroachment lately made on the rights r f I/tr sor
rreign [lief by the party in power, and it would
Ire endured no longer. First, the Whigs brought
the States here to be fed front the public Treasu
ry, to be bribed by the 13nd fu
, ro be dependent
un the general Government ; second, the govern
ment enacted a general bankrupt law ; third, they
attempted to deprive the Stales of their junsdic
ibm in criinipil cases; fourth, they pronounced
free'citizoier of node island to be insurgents be
cause they chose to establish a free Constitution,
and sent the airily of t h e United States to rut
their throats; and now, they attempt to deprive
the States of the right of regulating their elections
of representatives.
Mr. Benton said the people of Rhode Island
were denounced by the Executive be cause they
had done exactly what we he had done in done 10
our revolution, and what France had since done
in our revolution—to throw of an oppressive
gnvernmtne and adopt a new one.
This section of the Apportionment was uncon
stitutional out and out. Missouri would not re
gard it. She would elect her members in August
by general ticket, and then we would see whelher
Congress would turn them away.
But, said Sir. Benton, the day of rnisr`olo and
oppression ivill be short. Pass this bill if you
like. The states will not regard it. On the very
PT( day' of the meeting of the next Congress, we
repeal it, and your Bankrupt Bill, and your
Distribution Bill, and your Remedial durtice Bill.
Mr. Woodbury spoke significantly of Nullifica
lion, as exercjsed on many occasions.
So we are getting up the show for a Presiden
tial contest. The Locofoco Senators are rais
ing a small whirlwind ot a venture, not knowing
yet exactly who us to ride onit.
Calhoun and Woodborii have the best chance
se fur. If the nomination depended on Congress,
they would get it.
Britten goes for Van Baron and Polk.
Mr. 13,schanan stanch between these two tick
ets, and expert 4, with the aid of the moderate
to,beat them both.
R. M. Jdinson has got one supporter in the
Senate, viz: Mr. Sevier, who will never surrender
his cl a im s to s humbug Convention ; but insists
on running him independently of all other oppo.
sition.
The reason that nullification has suddenly be
come go el Locotoce doctrine in the Senate, is
that the Crillgutstr intere4 is now . predoniinarit in
Congress, and must be conciliated.
In the house, Mr. W. B.
.Campbell renewed
his attempt • to submit a t•totion for the adjourn
ment of Congress on the 11th of July. put'ub
jections were made to it.
Mr. Randolph submitted a resolution directing
that the Tariff Bill reported from the Committee
on Manufactures, be taken up as soon as the Ar
my Bill is passed, and considered - daily till the
same be disposed of. Objections being made, he
niovod to suspend the rules, which was lost.
A Rem IN I SCI:N.-/11 the year 1809, ( June
7111, ) the House of . Representatives, by a decided
and almost rigidly Democratic vote, adopted the
following resolution:—
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury,
00 directed to prepare and report to this House,
at their next session, a plan for the application'of
such means as are within the power of Congress,
fur the purposes of protecting and fostering the
manufactures of the Vnited states, together with
a statement of the several manufacturing estab
lishments which have beeat cornmencedi the pro
gress which has been made in• them, and the anc
cess with which they have been attended,tand such
other information as, in the opinion of the Secre
tary, may be material in exhibiting a general view
of the manufactures of the United States."
On adoption of this reeoluii,in, which conlem-
plated a plan" fur "protecting. and frstcring
the manufactures of the United States," the four
Southern Atlantic States voted as follaws

Two years after, sho was the mother of an in

autumn of '3B, he sought a refuge from those who
had witnessed his degredation, in the wilds of

A J. W CR ACS 1.11,-- Dr. Collyer it appears is
still going it siroog on animal niagneti-ro. We
have seen it stated that he receMly, for the grati
fication of his audience, extracted a tooth from
one of his mesmerized patients. The New 113-

ry respectable man, by the murk of Shelton, who
witnessed the operation, and was therefore a non
believer. Speaking of the lecture, Mr. S. say , :

All who examined it pronounced it to be a defec

called upon to extract it. Hiving bad a very
large experience and most satisfactory; proof of the
pleasures of having teeth extracted, I felt an in
tense curiosity to witness the result under the mag

within three or four feet of the paiiint, where I
had an unobstructed view of every feature of her
face, with a bright lamp within a few feet shining
directly upon her. At the first attempted the
tooth crumbled and the instrument slipped. The
next attempt was successful. I heard the crack
