CASE oF GREAT DISTRESS.---The distressing ease
Of Oldershaw and tinnily (the particulars or which

be no doubt as to the insanity 4.if .the iintorttmate
man.—At the inifnAne suggestion of Sir W. Cult.
.TIS, a subScl 4)660 was immediately set on toot,
and the poor tawity were in•the mean time gken
in charge to the Churchwardens of St.' Gregory's
parish. ,'2;-Apt`..►

CHRONICLES AND CtINJURORS.

Oh Mr. SuN!—Mr. Su !
I have a SMI COMplillOt to MAC avaint,t the
Moon and Stars, which lIA ye not Only deceived a
1.14 ,Itut Buchingliatn•hire Astro'op.'', but doubt-
less led astray the Political Conjuror opposite to

Catherine-street.
You must know, Mr. SUN. for you, as one of
he Planets, ought to know every thiog, that read-
ing .1 he Morning Chronicle for some mouths past
has rendered me quite bilious, so that toy grand-
‘l,4tiAter Helen, or any name beginning will; lid,
or coding with it, such as Caloni-het, and so
fools, sibsolutely bring, on a fit of the ialtlidiee,
and ntii s me see things of a different colour to
ally one else. So, Sir, to cure my disorder, and
to make a long story short, I lately took a dose
too of a gnarl° volume, printed and published in
I SO5, by Thomas Orger, of High ‘Vycomb its
Bucks, tinder the delightful title of " Nativity of
Napoleon Buonaparte, Emperor of all the French ;
calculated by a Professor," and which has, doubt-
less, formed the text-book for numberless " presg-
nosticated prophecies " with which the town has
repeatedly been am,•ied.
Who the professed Conjuror may be, I am not
couititor enough to tell; bot, in the opinion of
RI r Orger, he proceeds as methodically RS the RC'
eolintant does in striking a balance, whilst draw-
ing; his conclusions respecting the future ; unfor-
tunately, however, his items are a little incorrect,
and so I shall tell you presently all about his sum
total.
With great exactness he brings dear Napoleon
(tor surely he has been and is dear to us) into
the world at 4jaccio, at 11h. 4001. 483. of some
day in 1769; I happen to kn►w, however, by infor-
mation received on the spot, that he saw the light
Rt Minerbe, one half a degree to the Northward ;
but Conjurors are allowed great latitudes. After
which we have a Table of " Celestial Directions,"
up to January, 183 S, all which yield him " long
tile, freedom from bodily hurts in war, success
in
arms, acquisition of riches, honour, and power."
1( appears, indeed, as you will readily believe,
that Scorpio was ascendant in the horizon at his
birth, and that Mars (General Mar•bortrf) was
Loyd of the ascendant.
The Conjuror then acts the part of Libra, in
striking the balance of the celestial testimonies in
fa vont. of long life, which are 17 ; against the
short ones, tvhich are 4 ; leaving a difference of
13 ; and the teatimonies for and against a natural
(troth are 17 to 4, leaving a similar balance of 13 ;
but witi:h would, doubtless, have been better at
;31-0., the usual sum for wages p•sid in the sister
Kiwziltun to ptreicibiowal Geutleineu who tie the
knot of a fatal destiny !
In addition t,► these testimonies, we have the
consoling assurance that his Imperial Majesty
will live owl! " Sol, who, in this Nativity, is the
giver of life, :olives, by direction, amongst a
c►owd of evil rays, and the transits of the ene-
mies coincide with the fixed and directional points
of the siviitic,,tors."-011 ! Sir, if 1 could bat
act the p,sr, of l'hietoo for a day, just to give So/
a little direction ;—but, courage ; let its go 00.
It has been well said, or something like it, that
it. silly people go astray, the stars are more in fault
than they ; and here we have Boney's bottling his
school-fellows „ill gunpowder, at Brienne, aris-
ing solely from ►he mundane parallel of Sol and
Mats, " whence also he Will at tittles given to
I amhritss," Ex. Gr. Beresina, Moscow, and \Va-

terloo.
'clie next occuiring direction is " Sol to the
wraps conjunction of Mercury," which the Con-
juter thinks has also some connection with Vir-
go ; but, really, Mr. SuN, if there is any thing in
it, it seems to refer untie particularly to the infa-
mous case of ;uncured abortion at that period, a
story well authenticated; or, perhaps, the
tyrant Mercury " may designate the Calomel
Powders now taking at St. Helena.
The Conjuror then finds out, which no doubt
some of his fellow-countrymen have found out
also, that " Mercury and Virgo govern the City
of Paris," and therefore to Paris Honey went at
sixteen. Then " Sol got to the parallel direc-
tion of illars," and lie quarrelled with his com-
rades in the Champ-de-Mars, who would have
thrown him into a (11l CI, it it had not been for
Saturn, who was then himself in !lie sign Aqua-
rius, and therefore was not food of wet lodgings.
Saturn, it appears, is the " signiticatur of tails,
drowning, smothetiog, or suffocation," so, per-
haps, those lie saves front drowning he reserves
for something else—vsrbum sat ! In 1789, the
transit of Mercury made Honey a Lieutenant of
Infantry ; after which Virgo, who seems fond of
bombardments, made him a Captain of Artillery.
Theo in 1796, lie gibes to Italy ; Aries kind Mars
give him many attendants, that is soldiers—but
the Georgian? .Sirius conies in presently and plays
the devil with them all !
As to his Egyptian expedition, I shall quote
no mote than to record that in his tetutn, " Mars
was on his radical place in the sign Virgo."
It is rather curious that nothing is said of
Josephine, but d'imporfe—let us go on to 1802,
when the great conjunction of Jupiter and Ski-
hall brought about the peace, and Mars and
"Venus " for sonic time kept on a kind of peva-
ric:ition between %Vat- and Peace," but " as
Mitts is so powerful an agent in his nativity, he
w t 5 decidedly for war ; and the direction of
Venus made hitn in many respects IICCCSS fill ."
ine Stara were all at work about his corona-
tion ; and the Cuojiiror Laving come to the cud
p•ist evetits, begins to look about him for fa-
t -,re ones. Theo we have 24 celestial testimonies
1,,c a great' degree of Sovereignty, honour,
Lover, ants comtnand ; and 16 fur the durability
of 'requited El calm-is, with 28 for immense riches !
here, indtivd, the Conjuror seems a little afraid of
the Gewgiana Sidas—pertimps Bellerophon too, if
lie haft looked a little trainer, which might have
c !Jerked hint whets telling us,—" hence we may
ratirmally conclude, that he will maintain his ex-
alted situation in defiance of all the efforts of
thot.e who way wi,h to cast hint 'town.
Vie are next whimsically told, that the scar
tit his face, supposed to arise irons his carriage
lix.eakitig down in 1800, Was directed by sonic-
, about Alara and Virgo, and the Scurpiou ;

but let us pass 011 to ISOS, when " the native'
%vas to become of a wore complacent disposition
formeily, wishing more fur amity than for
discoid and %var." broright about, as 't IS said, by
Saturn and the Georgiont Sidos; and in 1806, we
Bare a grand configuration, which, as Lilly says,
" lltst"ws on the native unspeakable good ; to
Ptioces. it produces access of Ambassadors."—
Vide ( harley's Negociations,
:\ter all this, " the native" is to be liable to
iotl.minovions of time blood, hot complaints of the
bowels, or of the bilious chrdic, no to 50; and
the Cwrjoror pHs no doubt that lie was tritioos,
Ind hail a sore throat, when he was twenty ! Pity
that he had not, either then or a year or two
atter ; how marry would then have been saved
sine throats and sad hearts !
It' 1809, be was to be peevish, And to experi-
ene a temporary abatement of prosperity, after
which, lie is to hive " lumbago, tout in the
hands or trot, and gravelly complaints op to 60 ;"
,bout which time, 1 also see by my art, that it he
lives so long, lie will probably he troubled with
old age ; but then he is to carry on the war in
high style, after which he is never to enjoy sound
health any mote. In 1817-18, Acquarius again
pots him in an awkward situation ; and here,
perhaps, the water pot ought to he translated
galley-pot, thereby indicating the recent medical
fracas at St. Helena. In 1824, lie is to experi-
ence a slight abatement of popularity—confirmed
I see by the Morning Chronirle of the 21st of
September ; and in 1831). the poor mau is to
have many private enenres ! Then Jupiter conies
to Cancer, and op comes the Georgiton
and poor Booev is to die in 1838, iu the 69th
year of his age! ! !
