THE FINANo1AL COMMITTEES ON TIE Con-
MIssIoNHRs' ACCOUNTS. II. Kerr, assist
ant Prosecuting Attorney, a member Of this
committee, filed an additional report to. day,
at q joint session Of the Common Pleas.
In relation to the accounts of Ex-Auditor
Matthews, he called attention ID the dupli
cate tar, in which, he says, from actual
count he finds the charge Of Mr.. Matthews TO
be correct.
He finds no foundation for the reflection
on the Commissioners that they ordered
payment out Of the Treasury for newspapers
for their own perussl alone.
The law in relation 10 culverts and bridges,
he says, has been complied WITH and the
evidence Of the fact is on record, and filed
in the Auditors office. Instead of there
being no estimates on file he finds twenty
seven.
As to the jail matters, he rays that the
bill for board Of sick prisoners, paid TO Mr..
Shockley, had nothing to do with the mosey
paid to exsSheriff Kessler for board of well
prisonera-and that S g bill was legal.
Upon the subject of statsticA ae remarked
that all the bills paid To- County officers
under this head are legal, and the demands
of the Commissioner of statistics had re
quired the whole clerical force OF the Offices
10 the purpose of preparing the information
called for.
In relation to the bill Of Moore, Wilsach
Co., for stationery, he states that there
has been an over draft paid of about 81, 900,
aud the Commissioners are now engaged in
examining this account.

An OmfnOus Prophet-The Death Of Lerd
PRImeFstOn Predicted.

A sensation has recently been produced in
London by the predictions of O would-be
prophet who calls himself "Zadkiel Tao
See, or DR.. Raphael, the Astrologer,"
years 1861 and 1862 In the former
is prediction of the death of the Prince
Consort. 1t is included in the horoscope OF
the Prince Of Wales, and is contained in the
Delphic entry: 1851 is evil to the father OF
the nstive"-ndtiUs being the phrase used
technically of the individual born under a
certain stellar or planetary influence. The
death of Lord Palmerston is predicted under
March, 1862, as follows:
The middle OF this month finds Mars in
crossing upon the l6o of Capricorn when the
SUI has arrived in the nativity of Lord Pal
meTston. This bespeaks sudden blow to
that veteran statesman, for which be will do
well to prepare.
"And again we are told, under October,
1862 that 'oD the llth, Jupiter, and on the
l4tb, Mars, will form a square to the eclipse
of 3lst December, 1861, which fell in 80 81
of the sign Capricorn, close to the ascending
degree at birth Of the Emperor of France,
and very close 10 the place of the moon al
birth of Lord Palmerston. The latter can
hardly fail, if be live so long, to succumb to
fate under these Influences
There IS also horoscope OF Lord Pa>mers-
reads thus:
1--WE have reason to fear that the. country
will lose the benefit of the noble Lord o serv.
ices in bis seventy. eighth year (he was sew
enty-seVen last 0ctoberl but not being in
formed Of the hour of birth we may, perhaps,
be some months out in the period, but we
think the transit of Mars over the sun's place
in the middle of November, 1861, and the
transit Of the same planet over the moon 8
place, on the 9th of December, 1861, will be
very trying periods for the native. But if
he should reach the middle of March, 1862,
unscathed, he will then have Mars affecting
his moons place by transit and suns place
by iDgTess a most fatal combination of
threatening influences"
The highly cultivated English people may
understand what this talk about "Mars al-
flictipg bis moons place" may mean; but in
this country we only know of few people,
like DR.. Rsphael, the great Astrologist, who
has recently arrived in this city, aud located
at No. 50 East E1fth street. and his compeers
in the astrological profession, who will COM
prehend il.

AT an early hour yesterday the Police
Court was crowded, packed and jammed,
with certain class of persons desirous OF
drinking in with morbid interest the details
expected to be divulged In connection with
The seduction trial OF Thomas s. Lockwood.
The defendant does not possess the pleasing
qualities, either in person or manner, of the
gay deceiver.n He is q rather matter.of.
fact individual, dresses in a matter of-fact
style, walks as though he meant businets,
snd in speaking is extremely matter-of fact
How he ever succeeded in winning the love
ana confidence of the young lady during
their first promenade and tets-d-tets is a
mystery to the uninitiated.
The plaintiff, Miss Selma Simpson, ia a
young woman possessing an elegant form
and fair features. She is not handsome but
pesss6le, and we should judge, was about
nineteen.
At eleven o'clock the case was called, and
about forty witnesses arrsyed before the
Court; many Of them were well known Ia
dies and gentlemen of our city The evil
dence ELECTED was not of the character that
usually attends the trial of such cases, and
the crowd was therefore the more disap-
pointed. M Miss Simpson, the plaintiff, occu.
pied the witness stand for six hours, and
from her statement we have the following
facts: Lockwood, who is married man
at the time she was gaining livelihood in
the cotton factory on the corner of Third
and Smith. streets, as testified to by John @.
Chapman, the Superintendent of that insti-
tuition. He frequently called upon her. and
upon one occasion, during walk, thew en-
tered house, and before leaving 1t "he ac.
complished his object" The once pure and
virtuous girl had fallen-her soul was dark
ened by sin irrepsrable. The hellish work
was finished, and again vice triumphed.
After visiting her several times subse
quenty, he told her he was married, but
tmothered tho intelligence by telling her he
did not live with his wife, that he was about
to procure divorce, aud then would marry
her.
a short time ago the brother of Silens
communicated to her the fact that Lockwood
was not only married, but that be was liyino
with bis wife and had been during ali their
acquaintance. Upon the receipt of this news
she visited her wronger and demanded to
know If the report was true. Upon his az
hrmation of it she at once commenced legal
proceedings against him. The trial lasted
until alf-psst one this morning, when Judge
Seffin bound the defendant over in the sum
OF s., 900 for his appearance before the Court
OF Common Pleas.
