is guilty of the crime charged upon hin,

that if negro, an Indian, or q poor
Irishman had been arraigned under ex-

XII of France predicted an affecting
event, which came TO pass.-The King
sent for the Asirologer having previously
ordered his satellites to be prepared at n
given signal 10 seize him aud to throw
him out ofthc window. The King said
10 him on his entrance "You who pre-
tended TO lift the veil Of futuriy, can you
predict the exact hour of your own
dea,hl" "No Sirc," said the Astrologer,
with great presence Of mind, suspecting
the design Of the tyrant, 81 only know
that shall die exa.ily three days before
your Majesty" The King was thunder
struck at this answer, and refrained from
giving the siggal. Scott has ingeniously
interviewer this anecdoie into the tale of
Quentin Durward.

tensively in horoscopes, WAS not par,icu-
larly fortunate in his predictions. In ope

own death, and when The lime drew

Monday evening last by strangulaiion.
She was found in the attic Of her board

wound round her neck, one end of them
encirclng her hand--and she probably
had while in sitting posture, drawn it
so tight as to elfectnaIly stop the crcula-

throat with penknifc, which was found
ncnr her, and had inflicted severa. lncon.
siderable wounds in her throat and neck.
She had previously shown instances of

SUPERSTITION DEFINED.

The mind of man is subject to certain
unaccouniable terrors and apprelien'
sions, proceeding either from the un'
happy situation of public or private af
falrs-from i'll health-from IA gloomy
and melancholy disposilion--or from
the concurrence Of all these circumstan-
ccs. In such state of mind. infinite
unknown evils are are dreaded from un-
known agents I: and, whore real objects
of terror are wanting, the soul, active
to ITS own prejudice, and fostering its
predominant inclination, finds imagina-
ry ones to whose power and ma!evo-
ence it sets no limits.
As these enemies are entirely invisl-
bic and unknown, the methods to ap-
pease them are equally uuaccountab'e,
and consists in ceremonies, o5seryances,
notifications, sacrifices. presents, or in
any practice, however absurd aud friyo-
lous, which either folly or k!avery rec

ui,y. Weakness, fear, melancholy. to-

Asr.oLpav.--A celebrated writer
treating on this subject, said il was rc-
narSable that among the many nreJ;c.
'iors, which have been made by As,roIo-
gers from time to time, so few of them
have been verified. History, however,
records many instances where the prc.
dictions of Astrologers have been fulfill
ed. in the present age, when such
events occur, they are merely considered
remarkable coineidences.

INDIA RuBBEa.-A London paper
stats that a lecture was lately given in
that city before the Royal Institution up
on The properties aud present uses of In
-dia Rubber.
The lecturer stated that the cutting of
the India Rubber into fine threads is done
by machinery, and SO rapid are the eff
feets Of the machine, two girls by the aid
of steam power can cut into threads not,
much coarser than thick sewing thread,
240, 600 yards per day, $4,000 yards of
which weigh pound.
Acurious experiment was also exhib-
tied. the strength of rotten India
Rubber; strand being dipped in solu-
ton Immediately became perfectly strong.
The lecturer stated, however, that his
hearers might wish 10 have knowledge
ofthis secret. He was not acquainted with
it, but the result was, certainly most i'm.
portant to the possossors Of it. The
machinery, and secret mode of strength
ening tire Indian Rubber although in
the hands OF Cornish and Co. he stated
was the invention Of Mr. Sieyier. the
sculptor. Whale fishing lines, elastic
cables, and ropes were exhibited, and
their utilities ably spoken Of by the
lecturer.
