ANIMAL MAGNETISM.

The Times gives a horrible description of some mesmeric experiments by a M. Delafontaine, by which a boy was deprived of all sensation. We suspect that some one has been operating upon the Poor Law Commissioners, for their total want of feeling is a mesmeric phenomenon.


ON SIR EDWARD LYTTON BULWER, BART., not M.P. FOR LINCOLN.

That Bulwer’s from fair Lincoln bann’d,

Doth threaten evil days;

For, having much waste time on hand,

Alas! he’ll scribble plays.
