4 Narrow Escape OF William ".

One cannot but wonder whether vii
liam the Fourth of England ever learned
that II plot was laid for his abduction
during his visit to New York in the
spring OF 1852. The prince was Il young
and reckless midshipman, given t. tirta-
ton, and To the inebriation which found
vent in wrcnching oifdoor-knObs; and it
probably never occurred to him that in
his person the rebels would linda host
age worth having. The project origi-
mated with Col. Matthias Ogden, of the
Jersey line, and the intention was to
surprise the prince and his commissioned
guardian, Admiral Digby, at their quar-
tiers in the city mansion of GPrardus
Beckman, on Hanover square. Two Off
GERS and thirty-nine men were toad Col.
Ogden in his enterprise. Embracing on
n rainy night in whale boats, they were
to land in New York near the Beekman
mansion, force the doors of the house.
capture the admiral and prince, and
convey them To their boats. The plan
was approved by Washington, but itdoes
not appear that any decided attempt was
made to carry it out. In some manner
the approximations of the British leaders
were excited for the safety of the prince,
and every %precaution was taken against
a surprise. Had il not been for thi.
warning. the boldness of the plan appear,
likely to have insured its success.

At a recent meeting of the London
Anthropological society, Miss A. w.
auckland read Il paper on dlyinalloh ny
the rod and by the arrow, The author
|cndeavored to prove
J.. That, from personal 0bscrvatloIl
rhabdomancy Is still practiscd IN England
in certain localities, and that It Is Il sur
viyal Of n very ancient superstition orig.
mating in the use Of rods ~ symbols OF
power.
.. That the staff as a scoptrc was prob
ably a later form Of the horn which was
thus used in very early prehistoric times,
and in that character adorned the heads
Of gods.
3. That from the use Of rods or hOrns
arose Il ycncrati0n for them as possessing
the inherent power Of healing disease and
V g Of restoring life. Hence their use
by magicians in all ages and countries,
the chief instruments employed by them
being Il ring or circle and II staff and a
bifurcatcd stick.
4. That these symbols conjoincd are
found in Egyptian, Assyrian, and Peru
Wan sculptures, and may be traced in
some of the stone circles Of Britain, and
in the shape of Irish and African brooches
and ibuln.
). That from the belief in the magical
powers of rodspcrhaps arose trce-worship,
or at least such vcncration for trees as Is
observable of the oaks Of DOrdona and OF
the Druids. the ash of Scandinavia, and,
for some unexplained reason, more par
ticularIy of the hazel,
6. That bcIomancy, p d~ivination by
marked arrows, said to be Of SCythic orr
gin, was practiced in Babylon, Judma,
and Arabia, and the traces of it may still
be found in the folk tales Of Russia and
Siberia.
I. That the mode of using these arrows
had a strong resemblance to the very
ancient custom of casting lots common
to all people, ancient and modern.
3. That the invention Of lots and dice.
as well as hat Of the divining rod, l.
ascribed to Hcrmes or Mercury, idcnti
fed with the Wooden of Scandinavia and
by some writers also with the Indii
Buddha.
Q. That a strong resemblance exist,
between the implements of magic ano
the ancient a~lphabets, also the rcputco
invention of the same god or gods.
10. That many Of the signs or letter,
forming the Archaic Phmnician and
other alphabets, are found in the rock
scuIptures0f Peru, thus adding II more
of the many proofs Of a communication
existing between the hcmisphcrcs in
prehistoric times.
II. That the arts of magic and divina'
ton were not Of Aryau origin, but rem
nants of the Turanian or Prc-Aryan
faith which soon ovcrspead the world.
II. That this is proved by thcirprcscnt
existence among aboriginal non-Aryar
races, and may, perhaps, ever be used as
Il test of race, % that those who in
Somerset and Cornwall are said to pos
scss the power of divination by the rod
may possibly have some remote affinity
with the aboriginal inhabitants o
Britain.

WEALTH OF TIE RoTusCIIILDs.-The
New York Sun gives the following state
ment in reference to the wealth of the
Rotbs child family:
The combined capital of the Rothschilds
is stated by Emile BUrn0uf, the we'll
known pubIicist, to have attained in the
present. year to the almost incaicuiable
sum 81 seventeen billions of francs or
4:j 100 900 900. The Significance OF these
n.uQundous figures may be rudely coz.
calveh Wy comparison, but there ia nothing
il the history of private wealth with which
t!.sy cau be compared. The capital of the
Htllnke, the estates of Lord Dudley, the
Marquis OF Butte aud the head Of the family
Of tfr"sv"nor, belong relatively to "a hum
uls category, t" which the city or New
York LAS contributed the fortunes OF aston
Vanderbilt and Stewart.

iIntnschilds can best be measured Ivy con-
tla&uiDg them with the fundes! Gebts az TIN"
llchl st countries ON the globe. TIE capital
q! THIS house, M estimated by NJ. RU"pout,
il about equal to tie whole funded debt
at Great Britain, "r that of France, aud
considerably exceeds the national debt Of
the United States. A single century, or
the possible span Of one mans Eie, has
su flicrd for the accumulation of this fortune,
aud the rise of its authors from a shabby
rookrTy in Frankfort to the financial dom
iuatIou CT Europe.
At the period Of Rothschi}d's first decis-
sive triumph on the London ExcEanEe-the
day after Waterloo, just sixty years ago
John Jacob Aston was already a rich
man. The great fortune which the latter
beQuethed Is not believed to exceed $50, :

more than sixty times that sum. Although
