Some galvanic experiments were to be made, and a large dog being selected for the purpose, he was executed about fifteen minutes before the commencement of the lecture. It being necessary to expose muscles or nerves to the action of the battery, the dog's tail was then cut off. At the first application of the galvanic power, poor Tray, who had been only stunned by the blows he had received from the executioner, roused himself, and, with a jump, and a growl, seized the first man in his way by the calf of the leg, and then in spite of canes and umbrellas, he ran spattering blood profusely upon every body, to the door, which the scientific company were very glad to open for his escape. *** >From Mexico.--The Register Official of Feby. 22, contains a decree of Congress, sanctioned by the acting President, BUSTAMENTE, granting a pension of $3,000 per annum to citizen Bernardo Gonzales ANGELO. A pension of $3000 has also been granted to the wife and daughter of GUERRERO. * Oajaca, Feby. 15.-Yesterday, Gen. GUERRERO was shot in the town of Cuilapan, two leagues distant from this city.--He availed himself of the necessary helps and preparations for a good death, which fact he experienced,-for with resignation to his punishment he only concerned himself to go into eternity as a true Catholic, who, if he feared the tremendous judgment of a severe and infallible judge, confided in his inexhaustible compassion, and was very far from saying like Cain, "My punishment is greater than I can bear." *** To Rent.
