We feel shame at being called upon 
to notice the daring efforts of Char- 
latanism and Imposture, in a public 
narrative, called authentic, of the ex- 
traordinary cure performed by Prince 
ALEXANDRE Honwentone, the Para- 
celsus of his age, on Miss Barbara 
O’Connor, a credulous nun, in the 
convent of New Hall, near Chelms- 
ford. We are shocked to hear of 
convents in England, and astonished 
to sce this arch-quackery sustained by 
the protestant, and of course inde- . 
pendent, physician to the convent. On 
the 7th of December, 1820, Miss’ 
Barbara O’Connor, a nun, in the con- 
vent at New Hall, near Chelmsford, 
aged thirty, was suddenly attacked, 
without any eévident cause, with a 
pain in the ball of the right thumb; and 
the superior of the convent, having 
heard of many extraordinary cures’ 
performed by Prince Hohenlohe, of 
Bamberg, in Germany, employed a 
friend to request his assistance, which 
he readily granted, and sent the fol- 
lowing imstructions, dated Bamberg, 
March 16, 1522.
