P:ZOPIIEGY: . . Ti it tie the ci ry of the ,journalists to record he past, and to tniliute the present, the praCtice of most of Our Coteinporaries shews us that they consider it as incumbent .upon them occasionally to take such a view of futurity, as falls within the limits of their capacity. What ,in Monastic a g es our ancestors were accustomed to utter as a Prophecy, in modern dines appears with the more modest air of a leading paragraph. ' That no undue bias may be supposed to influence us in favour of the modern practice, we shall gratify our Readers with a specimen of the ancient: Of the following Prophecy We can give no other account, than :lac it, is asserted to have el been found i n MS.. by' Door MAIVORTH at Abingdon, and by him sent to the Agiliversity of _Oxford. Some other particulars respeeting it are given in a Pamphlet, whence we extras this 3 and which We believe has been circulated among a par ticular class of Dissenters to the incredible comfort of the foes to warfare. The Notes are written by one who appears to understand the science of predic. tion. Fur our parts we can only express our sincere wish that this may redound to the infinite augmen tation of THOMAS a BECKET'S fame, of whose large proportion of brain 3, his .Cathedral, is said to con tain visible proofs,' and that it .may not prove a Canterbury Tale.

The Jews, it seems, are likely to be naturalized in several places abroad. Such a measure demands a. very serious attention.

This publication was eXceuted with great wit, humour ; and• ridicule, and very proba bly contributed materially to: strengthen the Oppo sition of the public mind towards the m:asure in question, whichfinallv operated in its frustration. • Several youths on Saturday went to bathe in the .

A fine child Was a tew days ince, poisoned at Slehford, by its grandmother giving it too large a 'dose of laudanum. This is the seconctiwtident of the same nature that occurred in Sleaford within a few weeks. Some d:iys since a boy leaping on some straw, at Kirklington, Oxfordshire, fell on the points of a pitchfork, which lay concealed, and the shads, or grain, entering his body, occasioned his imme diate death. A few days ago George Johnson, near NorthaT lerton, imprudently loaded his :gun with stria,' stones instead of shot, to shoot at win:: crows, when the piece bursting, wounded him so severely in the left hand as to occasion his death.
