BOROSCOPE OF NAPOLEON'

_
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN),
Diaz; SIR 15, Northfield-terrace, Cheltenham. may remember receiving a copy of
productions from me from the horoscope of Napoleon
for the years- 1853 and 1854. The former period was 4
stated to be one of marked distinction, prosperity, and -
additinnallionours, tog-ether withan allusion to his mar-

Was stated to 'he :One Of disaster 'add: imminent peril to
jiis,life.: The acCompanying slip refers to the lights and
shades of the periods mentioned id the original produc-
tions, together with what I conceive to be their assimi-
lating results.. --The time of the. assassin's attempt upon
his .life exceeds I. the lithited period in which I had
crowded the 1854 predictions btfoiti Months. Although
:it. is a positive' fact the evil direction- from whence I
judged personal danger does not terminate earlier than
the immediate month, but transit
_excitement will at
times tend to delay the effect. The talents and mind of
Napoleon have powerfully acted upon the tone of English
opinion, and a higher estimate of character prevails than
at first we were inclined to admit or even entertain the
remotest idea of, being strongly influenced in our judg.
merit upon an abstract question.

THE HOROSCOPE OF THE EMPEROR OF FRANCE,
As published by Mr. G. T. F. Smith, in the London
.Sun, and also in the local and provincial papers,
April, 1852.
It is well known that this distinguiShed and illus.
trious personage is a firm believer in destiny, and, like
unto his renowned uncle, Napoleon 1., confides in the
influence of causes far beyond all human control ; hence
his reply to the Senate, on receiving their congratu-
lations on his providential escape from the red hand of
the murderous assassin—" I fear no assassins : so long
as I shall not have fulfilled my mission there is no
danger."
Here we fully comprehend the ascendancy of mind in
Napoleon. The desperate intent of the assassin failed,

astral testimony, and vice versa. It should be under-
stood that at the time of birth the impress of the stars
or planets from the sources of reference illustrative of
the storms and calms of life ; and the progression of
those ponderous bodies to certain angles, in connection
with that impress of the natal period, whether discor-
dantly or harmoniously configurated, health, life, and
consequences, all assimilate and become manifest in the
position of the native, and may be predicted, provided
the scientific attainments of the student are equal to
the test, the laws of planetary motion being irrevocable.
Although the distances of the planets are remote, every
atom of this earth becomes subject to their operating
electric power, an agent boundless in the ambient of
universal life.
From the above preface, descriptive of the mode of
my conclusions to a certain extent, I shall now proceed
or refer to a series of predictions in proof of what is
above advanced, although my communications upon
astral science for a number of years may render any
such additional proof unnecessary.
First, in the month of April, 1552, soon after (when
consecutively viewed) the "coup d'etat," when enemies
and opponents to the then state of affairs rendered pacific
conclusions, under the doubts and fears of the time,rather
problematical, my deductions from Louis Napoleon's horo-
scope were nevertheless to the following effect :—That
from the commencement of 1853, and during spring and
summerofthat year, " new ho nours and distinctions would
be conferred upon him," and that he would attain the
summit of ambition's bound, amid the blandishments and
congratulations of his subjects, that all would be sun-
shine, and " merry as a marriage bell." The latter was
given in italics, in consequence of the directions being
those from whence marriage is generally inferred. The
above deductions were literally fulfilled ; for under their
potent and benign power he was elected Emperor of
France and his marriage solemnised.
We now come to other predictions of converse charac-
ter, and import contained in the same paragraph, not a
little startling to the contemplative and .philosophic ob-
server. The prediction in question embraces the autumn
of 1854, to Dec. 21st, during which adverse directions
were singularly clashing with those of opposite tendency,
involving responsibilities, nationally and personally. My
prediction stated that " disastrous consequences would
occur, and that his life would be in imminent peril."
So far the published prediction, and on the result being
fully matured, we find France plunged inn4r, no matter
what the consequences may be that led to such an
event ; and on the 17th of October, 1854,,the failure of
'
the first bombardment • and though the gallantry of her
troops gave brilliant achievements, war is, nevertheless,
a calamity, for it exhausts the blood and treasure of a
nation, and is always indicated by a malignant direction
in the horoscope of the Sovereign ; hence I applied the
word "disastrous," as the nearest interpretation I could
give to the operating influence. The extent of adverse
teclimony did not cease with the autum of 1854, but is
continuous in the spring of 1855, the ultimatum of which
we find to be the attack of the assassin on the life of
his Majesty. Thus we have a series of predictions, with
their corresponding results, published to the world three
years prior to their maturity. It is my intention to
make further observations upon, the natus of this dis-
tinguished gentleman, whose mental resources range far
above the ordinary run of mankind.
In passing, I shall at this time state that, in the year
1857, not very wide of the autumn, another °Horst epoch
,presents itself; adverse rays prevail and adverse results
and tests will form the accompanying proofs, when time
matures the scene thus predicted, though peril, hostility,
and violence will engage the Emperor's attention, the
imperial dignity remains powerfully. sustained ; but, as
before remarked, I intend to give further computations.
It is worthy of note to observe the order of this chap-
ter cf prescience. The period (April, 1852) when the
fever of public opinion rose high, and enmity rife, and
position equivocal, the bloom of pacific rays redundant
with honours, were cheerfully accruing towards the dis-
tant year, when all promised by the directions would Le
consummated. Confiding in the paramount influence,
culminating even with his marriage, I submitted the
prediction, and time truthfully gave the incontrovertible
proof from the commencement of 1853 to the summer of
that year—all my predictions promised became a matter
for history to record.

Again I would advert to the year 1854, when the first
moiety of my autumnal predictions began, and assimi-
lated with the scenes of the day, and from that com-
mencement to within six short months the entire of the
predictions are collectively confirmed. I would ask, is
it a matter of surprise that a mathematical and philo-
sophical mind like Napoleon's should confide in his star
of destiny ? for being acquainted with the laws of astral
motion, he possesses the moral courage to avow it. The
higher branches of astral science have attracted that
array of talent and versatility of genius of men whose
names do honour to the pages of British history. The
unacquainted portion of society are too apt to censure
what they do not understand, too apt to permit others
to think for them, who pretend to dictate, with nothing
but prejudice for their pedestal, proving the old adage—
" That fools rush on
Where angels fear to tread."

DELIBERATE MURDER OF A YOUNG WOMAN
BY HER SWEETHEART.

COMMITTAL OF THE MURDERER.
DUDLEY, Monday Night.---For the last three days
Dudley has been in unusual excitement, consequent on
the commission of a very deliberate act of murder on
Saturday, and the examination and committal of the
murderer to:day.

The murderer is Joseph Meadows, a whitesmith by
trade, and he had bound himself for four years to a Mr.
Rana, at Round Oak, with whom he boarded and lodged.
His victim was Mary Ann Mann, who was servant atthe
Sailor's Return, public-house, at Kates Hill, and who
was the daughter of honest and respectable parents. On
Saturday morning the murderer left home, taking with.
him a carbine and some powder and shot belongingtc
