G. T. F. SMITH'S PREDICTIONS.

The following is a short summary :
The recent triumph of the Hon. C. P. Berkeley
over his opponent, Sir W. Jones, was predicted by
G. T. F. Smith, from the horoscope of Mr. Berke-
ley, and backed to any amount ; the result of the
Town Bill, predicted from the horoscope of G. E.
Williams, Esq., the principal solicitor for the Bill;
the result of the election of coroner for the county,
predicted from the horoscopes of the respective can-
didates, Mr. Septimus Pruen and Mr. Lovegrove,
first—the election for Pruen, secondly the trial that
terminated in favour of Mr. Lovegrove, predicted
twelve months prior to the contest coming on; the
success and non. success of Mr. Berkeley, truthfully
predicted in each period of contest, Ministerial Re-
signatione, and Parliamentary Dissolutions, since the
ur.
year 1835, (published years prior to theirhoce ,
real.
rence), to the dissolution of Parliament in tare ma.

years (as a given time) of her present Msjesty's
reign.

The President's horoscope, of France, dated from
the official dispatch, points unerringly to further ag-
grandizement
in the year 1853, from spring to sum-
mer, and his disastrous position in the spring or rear
summer of 1854, as previously published in the
Cheltenham Free Press. If the circumstances enu-
merated when taken collectively and consecutively
be considered, supported as they are by incontrover-
tible testimony, it requires only a modicum of,com-
mon sense to determine upon the utility, either in
private or public life, to which the time-honoured
science of astrology is conducive, provided the per-
ceptive faculties of the student harmonise with this
peculiar branch of natural philosophy.

,THE GREAT YORKSHIRE AGRICUL-
TURAL SHOW AT SHEFFIELD.
The fourteenth annual show of the Great Yorkshire
Agricultural Society commenced its menituld proceed-
ings at Seeffieki on Monday. A high degree of interest
has been excited by this event amongst its vast urban
population. It has engrossed public attention, in fact,
ell the week, to the exclusion of almost every other topic.
The elec!ions and things politicsl have been overlooked
as matters of no immediate moment. We trust we are
correct in assuming that this intermixture of the agri-
cultural and manufacturing population of this " epitome
of England," as the vast county of York is not inaptly
styled, will prove a mutual benefit, and as such, an ad-
vantage to the natton at large. The instructive advan-
tages of the great periodical agricultural gatherings' to
husbandry itself have been over and over again demon-

sap ing,nrdeaidn that manner its roots have been continually
and striking deeper.
The eyes of a large section of the great body of British
farmers have been opened of late to the absolute neces-
sity of stretching their sails to catch every passing
breeze of improvement, and the numbers of the en-
lightened and enterprising are daily on
the increase at
an ever-augmenting ratio. The demand tor implements
and machines of the best kind thus created has awak-
ened already a large amount of enterprise, and infused

The centre of the society's operations is a grass field,
situated about a mile from the centre of the town, known
as the Royd's Cricket-ground. All things considered, a
better site could not have been chosen. The field is as
level as a bowling-green, and under no disadvantage in
t
respect of draining. Its situation has been found very
convenient. The internal arrangements of the show-
greund were admirable, and such as manifested great ex-
perience of multifarious requirements.
The entries exceed those both of the Thirsk and Brid-
lington meetings, the excess ovet the latter being of
nearly 100 entries. Among the noble exhibitors, who
are more numerous than wand, are the Duke of Devon-
shire, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Feversham, and Lord
Wenlock. There are about 60 exhibitors of implements,
and 400 entries in this department. There is a large
entry of stock, the number being pretty nearly 600.
