From the NeWbuTypG WatchtOWeT. ShakeTSm.-Mr. Carter, d renomcing shaker, Yi- sited this place few weeks since, and gave two or three lectures on shakerism, and sung come twenty songs, danced, exposed Mir. Mier's theory, and did several other things for the amusement of his au- dience.

 The shakers creed is a very curious They believe m one God, and persons in the Godhead male and female, or Father and Mother-caed Power and Wisdom

 They believe that Adam was the Father of the Old CTeatlon and Eve was the MotheT-both being crea- ted after the image of God and that Christ IS the Father of the new Creation, and Ann Lee the Mother and that the Millennium commenced with the ap- pearance of Ann Lee earth. They believe in.the immortality of animals as well as oi men. They say that John horses in the world of spirits, as recorded in Revelation. They believe that all the ugly and venomous animals on earth are symbocal of the evil spirits that inhabil the lower regions of the invisible world and that all the beautiful creatures, such birds with gorgeous pumage, are symbocal of the good spirits in the mansions of bliss

 They believe that the souls of shakers in their tran ces and visions, really visit the heavenly world. The lancet has been applied to them, and their flesh has been sacrificed, while in this state, without produ- cing particle of blood. One person who visited the land of spirits in trance, all the patriarchs and kings of olden time; saw King David travelling, and Solomon on snow-white horse; saw Christ and all the Apostles.

 Their songs are curious affairs. We annex spec linen :-

 "I am exceeding thank

 l am exceeding thank

 am led-I am led.

 By the spirit for to seek,

 By the spirit for to seek,

 This way to the Lord" Here is another chant, very similar =

 70! we've come for to go,

 O! we've for to go,

 For to hod-for to hold

 Sweet communion with the Lord,

 Sweet communion with the Lord,

 With the spir-it of the Lord 70
