We publish in this issue the first portion of the admirably clear account by Prof. Wagner, of the Imperial University of St. Petersburg, of his recent seances with M. Bredif. The document will command the respectful attention of the scientific body of which this great Russian naturalist is so distinguished an ornament. Prof. Wagner is to his country what Huxley is to Great Britain, and his fearless announcement of his conversion to the Spiritualistic philosophy has created as great an excitement in Eastern Europe as would the adhesion of the great British materialist in the Western portion and in this country.
The investigating party in this instance embraced other savants besides Prof. Wagner; two brother professors, one eminent pathologist, and the Hon. Alexander Aksakoff, being enumerated as attendants. Thus, little by little, the new philosophy is making its inroads into the Sacred precincts of the Academies, and claiming its converts. The Roll of Honor, which already bore such names as Wallace, Crookes, Varley, Flammarion, Hare, —has now inscribed upon it those of Wagner, and his distinguished co-laborers.
It will be observed, as a strong indication of the fairness of Russian investigators, that they were in the main convinced by the simple manifestations of the table rightly judging that the occurrence of a rap, the oscillation of a ponderable body, or the momentary neutralization of gravity by another force, was as important, in a''' '''phenomenal sense, as the more striking materializations of Prof. Crookes or Col. Olcott. The example set by these gentlemen might be imitated by the disdainful wiseacres of the British and American Associations with advantage to their future reputation for intelligence and fairness.

The Journal des Debats in its issue of the 2th of May contains an account of the intense interest which Spiritualism is now exciting at St. Petersburg, both in general society, and among men of science. Among these is Mr. Wagner, whose article in the last number of the Messager d’ Europe, (now in the Scientist) has, it seems, produced a profound and widespread sensation.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Debats stands amazed before the spectacle of the triumphal entry of the long banished supernatural into the midst of the sceptical and realistic society of the present day, and calls upon the men of science who have not been infected by it to assist in putting down this new superstition; or at least, he adds, let the adepts in Spiritualism explain its scope, and the mode in which it accords with the other articles of their scientific creed. This gentleman appears to forget that newly observed phenomena do generally appear for a time as irreducible anomalies, and that it is only by time and patience that their places have been discovered in the system of nature of which so small a part is yet known.
