A few days since the Augsburg Gazette contained a letter on Table which immediately excited a mixed leel-ing of curiosity and incredulity here. Curiosity, however, and for the last three days the Viennese have thought and spoken of nothing but the new American discovery. Of the innumerable experiments made, many have been unsuccessful.

An eye-witness states that on Sunday afternoon five members of our Juridico Political Reading Union men of different ages seated themselves around a small table, with double feet, and formed the magnetic chain, according to the instructions given by Dr. Andree, of Bremen, in the above mentioned letter- In an hour and a quarter the rotary motion commenced. The experiment was made in the presence of fifty persons- The Wiener Zeitung, yesterday evening, made mention of two other cases, in both of which the tables were broken. Yesterday evening the experiment was tried in my presence at the house of a friend. A round veneered dining table, having three stout legs, resting on one base, was place on the 'parquetled" fioor (l)r Andree recommends a carpetj of the room.

Round the table three ladies and five gentlemen placed themselves, and formed a magnetic chain, which is effected by each person laying bis hands lightly on the margin of WAXTEI A good TRIMMER, to whom ccJ wgc steady employment will Le given.

The morn- jug train of cars from New York on the' New-Haven railroad, ran" oil the drawbridge and was precipitated into the river, having on board a-bout one hundred passengers It is said that the engineer is chiefly to blame, he having neglected the" signal displayed oy the bridge-tender. He has been arrested. Retweeji fifty and sixty dead bodies have been recovered, and there is a large number of wounded. TluV details of this dreadful ailaii are horrible in. theTXtreme.

It seems that the drawbridge was raised to let the steamboat P.icific'4iss. Rofore it was lov eied again the cais were heard rapidly- approaching. At tliis time the ball which is used as a signal was down, indicating that th.e place wus not in a condition to be passed. The engineer, heedless of the signal, passed on. Us discovered the danger, however, in time to save his ow life by-jumping from the train.

Our readers will "perceive in another column of this paper, a card from Kr McRae, Esq of AVilmi ngton, in which he announces, himself a candidate for Congress, in this district. Mr Mr is a p-pntleman of t.ilpnts anrl ist i nrt ion and has heretofore acted with the democratic -j party. We re-rret that he has seen urooer to i place himself in an attitude of opposition to that tried and faithful public servant, the Hon Wm.

S. Ashe. Mr Ashe has, in our opinion, strong claims upon the democracy of the district for re-election. Tie was first brought out four years ago by a convention of democrats, assembled for the purpose of concentrating the party strength upon a proper person, He was duly elected. A second time he was elected, and.

without opposition. He now comes before the people of the listrict for the third time asking their endorsement of his course as their representative. If he has discharged the high duties of his position ably and faithfully he ought to be returned. We believe that he has done this, that he has ben ne of the most useful and effiicient representatives we have ever had. The candidates will, we suppose, address the people of the different counties during the ensuing summer.

Ihetime has pass- ed when, separated from Europe by a wide ocean irnau no innuence on our Oestinies. Electric telegraphs ami ships driven by rarefied air, a recent great discovery, will draw closer together and unite a9 parts of one body, the five great known systems ot the world. Before such a generous system, before acts of such immense importance, how petty seem present projects to deprive the people of their already estimated rights." "Washington Moxumknt. The National Intelligencer, in noticing the reception, at the national capital, of two handsomely sculptured blocks of stone, one to represent Ihe'City of New Y'ork, and the other th S4t. nthe monument, says that each cost 3,000, and that if the amount of money in New York State for blocks of tilts kind had been sent to the Monument Association instead, it would have added some nine or ten feet to the height of- the great structure now in progress, at the same time have finished slabs calculated to answer the same end as those which have been contributed.

The suggestion is worthy of the consideration of all who are preparing blocks of stone for the monument, as the amount of funds is not so large as it ought to be. A horrible calamity has just occurred in Paris, and it may be well to make it known, as such accidents ouht to serve as examples. A gentleman, feelin: a slight itching in his ear, took up a friction match in order to dispel it. In the ardor of a conversation he was sustaining he in-troduced the sulphurous end; the contact soon produced ignition, and the downey lining of the ear caught fire; a portion of the sulpher adheared to the flesh, and burnt there persistently. The unfortunate man never spoke again.

His suller ings were so agonizing that his tongue be-came powerless; and, after two days' torment and unavailing efforts of the surgeons he died. MARRIED. In this place, on Wednesday evening last by the Rev. S. M.

The feet must not touch the table.

All rings and bracelets in the case now related were removed. A fter the experiment had lasted about an hour, the table began to exhibit an almost imperceptible undulating movement Some minutes after it was convulsively jerked to the risht and left, and finally it turned to the riht on its own axis with such velocity that the persons forming the had in the meantime risen, were obliged to run in order to keep pace with tiie ne w-fashioned locomotive. The movement was so violent that the by-slanders tvere soon obliged to relieve the original actors. When one person left the chain arid another entered, there was a slight in-terruption of the electric stream, but in two or three minutes the table was dancing about the room as before. In the course of the experiment, which 'altogether lasted two houis and a quarter, it became evident that some persons far greater magnetic lowers than others.

If, when a chain had been formed, the table seemed disinclined to continue its one gentleman, a man of great strength and size, could always immediately arouse its dormant energies. This circumstance induced some persons to fancy that, by pressing the palms of his hands forcibly on the table, he gave it an artificial impetus; but, to convince them that such was not the case, lie hooked his little fingers into those of his neighbors, and barely touched the table with the tips of his thumbs. If the dress of any link in the chain was touch-ed. the eiccti ic fluid escaped, and (he table stood still and the same effect was produced if it was touched by a bystander. The sensations experienced by the sentimentalists before the magnetic fluid was equally distributed through all the links of the chain were very different, but the most common were heat, tingling, and pulsation in the hands and arms, and pains in the head.

In two cases ladies fainted but this is hardly calculated to excite surprise, as there is something Weird in the whole affair. An agent of the police, who suddenly found himself in the presence of a society of table-movers in expectation, take them for a gang of conspirators just swearing fidelity to each other. Successful table-movers -that is, those in' action, are like so many wild witches and warlocks. Alter quitting the above-' mentioned house, I went to the Mercantile Club, where an unsuccessful trial was made.
