December .31, 1C42. 1-tf Wonderful Mights in the Air The veneraMe American Lexico grapher lias thought it worth while to notice, in the New Haven Herald, the use which appears to have been made in recent publications, of certain atmos pheric phenomena, in reference to the great change which, it is said, is to come over the world this year. He says: ''To persons not accustomed to see any unusual phenomenon in the heavens, such a Aery appearance in the clouds must be terrific. Ignorance, m such ca ses is a calamity. I had seen most wonderful appearances in the clouds or heavens, and wa3 not in the least dis turbed. "In the dark day, May 19, 1780, the heavens were covered with a dense cloud for three or four hours; the Lcgisla ture was in session nl Hartford, r.nd such was the darkness that business could not be transacted without candles. During the time, the clouds were tinged with a yellow or faint red for hours, for which no cause has been assigned. I stood and viewed this phenomenon with astonishment, b it I had no fear that the world w as coining to an end. 'hi the evening of 20th March, 1782, an extraordinary light spread over the whole hemisphere from horizon to hor- ;20n, nor,l, an south, cast and WCSt The light was of a yellow cast, and wa vy. The wuving of the light was visi ble, and some persons heard, or im magined they heard, h slight rustling sound. I then resided in Goshen, Or ange county, New York, and stood half an hour on a bridge over the Wall Kill, to witness this extraordinary phenome non, but I saw no person that was frigh tened at the sight. 'In the year 17C3, a great part of Europe was for weeks overspread with a haziness of atmosphere which caused great consternation; the churches were crowded with snrmlirvint. Tbo omcr Lalande:aucmn;ed to allav the rbynJcavon utgui oy enueavoring the appearance, which he ascribed to an uncommon exhalation of watery parti cles from the great rain of the preced ing year. But at last the cause was ascertained lobe smoke from the great eruption of the volcano Hecla, in Ice land, which covered more than three thousand square miles with burning la va, in some places to the depth of forty feet. I had this account from Dr. Frank" lin, who was in Europe at that time. 'Iu a late paper, published by the Millerites, 1 saw an article stating that the northern lights foretell something terrible. The writer seems not to know that in the high northern lati tudes, in the sixteenth degree and north ward, northern lights are of daily oc currence, and so have been from time immemorial. So illuminated are t lie heavens, that persons may often see to read in the night. "These lights occasionally come to far south as to illuminate the sky in our latitude. Sometimes they do not appear for many years. At the close of the seventeenth and beginning of the eio-h-teenth century, those lights were not seen for a long period, and when they-' re-appeared about the year 1817, our ancestors, who had not seen or heard of them, were all alarmed, and aetually supposed the day of judgment was come. ''During my life, I have been so ac customed to see northern lights, falling stars so called, and fire balls, that they have long since ceased to excite my cu riosity, 'Nearly thirty years ago I read an article in a Vermont paper, stating that the northern light, on acertain evening? was so low as to be visible between the spectator and a distant mountain. N. WEBSTER." IliIily Important to Dandies. The New York correspondent of the National Intelligencer ono N. P. Wil lis says in a recent lettter: I do not know you care to cater for tho taste of tho dandies among your readers, but it may interest here and there a mouslacldo at Washington to know that, by the latest accounts from Paris, all fashion in gentlemen's appar el and outer seeming is al an end. An attempt having lately been made to re introduce the fashion of short hair and to abandon straps and suspenders, (the waistcoat covering the waist to the hips,) it was fully conceded by the tailors and hair-dresses that among noticeable men there were no three followers of any peculiar style "costume, and that, to tho great praise of human ingenuity, every dandy in Paris seemed to have worked out his separate idiosyncrasy. I can not imagine a greater consternation than will be spread by this dynasty cf variety over the stereotyped classes of this country. We are, as 1 have re marked in a previous letter, the most gregarious people on earth, aud in any cfowd, such as Broadway on Sunday, it requires sharp practice to distinguish ong person from another, so exactly are all men of all ages alike. Fancy the dismay of each New York "particular',, if he is inexorably compelled to invent a costume sui generis lor himself. My observing informan, who is lately from Paris, tells me, however, they continue to wear the full complement of beard, and that this, appendage seems to have become a fixture to be rated hereafter : with the nose and eyes, and worn, as God pleases. Amputation of the Keg during a state i of Somnipathy. The first case of a surgical operation, as far as wo know, ever performed in this country, was detailed in the fourth number of the Majrnet. The following extraordinary relation is from the Lon don correspondent of Journal of Com merce: IV. Y. Mjgnet. The most extraordinary surgical op pcration has been performed, the par ticulars of which will be found detailed in a couple of columns of the Mornin Herald of the 2Gih ult. James Wom bell 42, a laboring man, had suffered for a period of five years with a pain ful affection of the left knee joint. He was admitted into the hospital at Wel low in Nottinghamshire, and it was de cided that an amputation should take place above the knee joint, and it was I accordingly done while the patient was I "de.r tl'C i,,n.ucnco.of mcsmGric s,ceP! the 1st October ,ibi. wonderful! oficration was tnus periormed,a3 given in the words of tho mesmeriser, one Mr. W. Topham, a lawyer of the Mid- dlj Temple, Lonilon; "I again rncsmer-' ised him m four minutes. In a quarter j o: an hour I told Mr. W. Squire Wood (the operator.) that he might commence. v I O v.... . i.. -n. , 1 then brought two fingers ofcach hand gtntly in contact with Wombcll's closed cjelids, and there kept them still fur ther to deepen the sleep. Mr. rard a fcr one earnest look at the man, slow- i Ij plunged his knife into the centre of tl e outer sida of the thigh, directly to tc bone, and then made a clear incision I rpund the bono to tho opposite point on the outside of the thigh. Thc stillness! vt this moment was something awful. "Jhe calm respiration of tho sleeping' nan alone was heard, for all others vere suspended. In making the second iscisicn the position of the leg was found to be more inconvenient than it had ap peared, and the operator could not pro ceed with his former facility. Soon af ter the second incision a moaning was heard from the patient, which continued at intervals until the conclusion. It gave mo the idea of a troubled dream, for his sleep continued as profound as ever. Thc placid look of his counten ance never once changed, for an instant, his whole frame rested uncontrolled, in perfect stillness and repose; wot a muscle or a nerve was seen to twitch. To the end of the operation, including the saw ing of the bone, securing thc arteries and applying the bandages occupying the period of upwards of twenty minutes' he lay like a statue. With strong salvolatile anjj water, he gradually and calmly awoke, and when asked to des cribe what he had felt, thus replied: 'I never knew any thing more, (after his being mesmerised,) and never felt any pain at all; I once felt as if I heard a kind of crunching.' He was asked if that was painful; he replied, 'No pain at all; I never had any, and knew noth ing till I was awakened by that strong stuff.' The 'crunching' was the sawing his own thighbone. The first dressing was performed in mesmeric sleep, with similar success and absence of all pain.'' Thiscaso is so important, that I have condensed its principal features, and when I consider the gravity with which thc operation was surrounded, the num bers who were present, the unquestion able rank and respectability of the pro fessional gentlemen, and the utter ab sence of all affectation, I must candidly admit that scepticism is staggered, and that we are no longer in , a position to deride or despise influences so extraor dinary, important ond practical. . , ; Congressional. On the 23d ult. in the Senate s. very interesting debate took place in regard to trie treaty of 'Washington. - Mr. Benton moved to strike out of the na val appropriation hill so much as was intended to provide for the African squad ron, stipulated for by tho treat)'. Mr. Archer of Virginia presented the views of the government, and alleged that there was really but very slight, if any difference of opinion between Sir Robert Peel ajid.M.f. Webster. Mr. Denton re plied to him and was followed on the same side by Mr. Allen. Mr. Calhoun opposed the Missouriart with effect, and upon the question being taken Mr! Hen ton?sl motion was voted down as fol- lows; yeas 4, nays 3G. Mr Hunting. ton, from the Committee on Commerce, reported against erecting a marine hos- i pita! at Pittsburg and against another at Key West; against the House bill cut ting down the number of the officers in the New York Custom House, but in favor of limiting the expenses of that es tablishment at $388,500; and against the adoption of the warehousing system. On this latter suLjcct two of the com mittee made a report in favor cf the system both were ordered to be prin" ted. Nothing else of interest occur red. In the House Mr. Briggs asked leave to submit a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill re pealing an act of the Legislature of Flo rida prohibiting the emigration thither of free negroes. After much excitement it was refused, the vote being C6 to 104. Mr. Gushing attempted to bring before the House an extract from a letter from Mr. Everett to Mr. Webster in regard to Sir Robert PeePs speech. Leave was I refused, but the extract is published in lhc ,t most C0rierusively demol- ishes the position taken by Sir Robert that the famous despatch of Lord Aber deen had remained fourteen months un- nncwpfi! !iVMiicr tinnnexvornLlrt T'bn dcbate on lhfl schemc of Cost Johiison wag conlinued b Mr. Popc.

From the National Intelligencer. Temperance Hymn. BY JOHN NEWLAND MAFFlT. The gush of cool bright waters, Soft music to the ear, The laugh of beauty's daughters And childhood's mingle here; And age comes looking brighter .The old man and his wife Walked up yon hillock lighter, With stcp3 of earlier life. For nature's groans have risen To nature's loving God, And he hath rent thc prison Where soul became a clod; His mighty arm hath riven The water rocks again, And from our feast hath driven The fires that scorch the brain. Clear, dancing, glancing fountains! Your hymn in solitudes Swells from the lifted mountains And gently here intrudes; Our hearts dance to its measures We shout aoud and long As those who find great treasures, And burst into a song. ' Here with us stand our brothers Plucked from the living grave, WhonVfcisters, wives and mc0ers Have long implored to save; Now take the PLEDGE of gladness, We drink its waters clear t ' Away with wine cup madness We have the cups that cheer.
