When airs from paradise refresh my brow,

A Clairvoyant Prophecy

In turning over the exchange papers
this morning, our eyes fell upon the fol-
lowing paragraph, which purports to
have been cut from a paper called the
Edinburgh AdrrtiSer, but Of what date
it is not said :
Con the l7th OF February last, a
clairvoyant, whose revelations are Civ
en- in DR.. Gregory's late work, stated
that Capt. Austin was at that moment in
lon 05 deg. As min west, which cores
ponds exactly with the actual position
Of the place where he is now found TO
have passed the winter According to
her statement, Sir John franklin was al
the same time in lon. l0l Deg As min.
or about 400 miles to the westward he
had been previously relieved, and third
ship was then frozen up along with his
two.'
Happening to have the work of DR.,
Gregory which is here alluded to OH our
table, we turned TO it, aud found sure
enough that on The page 3uG of the A,
merican edition it is recorded that a
/ female in the magnetic state, while eX-
aiming certain letters said to have been
written by Sir John Franklin and Capt
Austin, declared that they were at that
moment February II, 1S5l,) in the
longiludes above given. The book IL
self was published some months since,
and long before the return of Capt
Aus,in's expedition.
We next turn to our files of the Bos-
ton Times, aud found the report OF Capt
Austin, published at length in that pa
per of September l2th, stating in the
course of it that, from the l4th Febru'
airy. 1851, until after the 18th, " he wa
fast to the fixed ice, between Cape Mar
tyr and Griffith Island" Now thi
point, according to our rude measure
ments on Johnson's map Of the Arli'
Zones, is just about 95 As ives, longi
, tude from Greenwich.
Here, then, we have a prophecy Civ
ing precise numbers, and distinctly re
corded previous 10 the time when an
! knowledge of the event referred to coul
r have been had, and which turns out {
, be quite correct Clairvoy ance. whic

one of my children Pa. there is
queer looking man in the Parlor who
wants TO see YOU" On entering the
room, my eye lit upon a man who was
queer.looking indeed, because his dress,
face, and whole appearance proclaimed
him drunkard. He rose on my enter
ing the room, aud with that constrained
and awakened polIteness, amounting to
obscquiousness, which the hal.ntoxica-
ted often assume, he thus addressed me
" come, sir, to ask you TO attend

" A friend of NINE" he replied by
