MEsMERIsM.-The following interesting extract is from the New.YoIk letter of the National Intel. lige ncer. a..rs.

 Some of principal phy ysicans are likely 10 be- converts at length to belief in the truth of the much abused science of Mesmerism. A most com vlncng evidence of the power and reality of the mes- merle agency was exhibited in this civ on Thur sday last (the 18th nstant,I in the presence of Doctors Mott. Francis, Doane, Delafed, Rogers, and others -all of them men acknowledged to stand in the front rank of their profession. young dy of respecta- bilty residing in Chambers street, while in i,e namhulic state induced by mesmers,n. had a tumor removed from her neck the carotid artery The rnesmerser and surgica ope, ator was Dr.. Bertron- nier, young man of fine abilities, whu has recen,ly arrived he,e from Paris. The suhJect submitted 10 the painful operation without the slightest manifesta- ton of physical pain or shrinking-a serene smile playing upon her lips the knife deep into the fesh. Alter the operation was coded. an apparent dispositon io awakf from the magnetic trance was nme,liaely disperd by few passes of the mes- meriser's hand. The eminent physicians, who were present, nearly all of whIm came prepared scoff, regarded another in silent amusement at the cessful close of the experiment. As of the most distinguished of ,hem remarked 10 me, their looks seemed to say, "have we not disbeliesed in these

 likely to rival in interest that in which the celebrated Ci,quet Oi Paris, was the operator; who removed . cancer under similar circumstances, but where the operation was not strongly atested as in the sent instance. profound impression has uHdonl l. edly been made upon the minds of our medical and scientific men by this extraordinary incident, con- frmatory il is oi lhe reality ofsn agency nature, the existence of which they have hitherto denIed, and the attempts to established the truth of which they have denounced the Y ossest quackery."
