TIMELY WARNINGS AND WHOLESOME PRECEPTS. Conjunctions of Mars and Mercury, and of Sol and Mercury, both in Cancer of Jupiter and Mercury in Leo-also, of Saturn and Venus in Gemini-a sextile of Saturn and Jupiter from Gemini and Leo-an opposition of Mercury and Georgium Sidus, and one, also, of Sol and Georgium Sidus, both on the 10th, with another of Mars and Georgium Sidus, all from tropical signs; a transit of the Dragon's Tail by Venus, are leading subjects for judgment. For one who never from his duty flinches, Are sent to Parliament ten Jacks-at-pinches. Matters involving points of great pith and moment seem to have taken up our prelates and the internal economy of certain Universities is likely to be under discussion. York has cause to apprehend danage from fire, or some violence of nature. Contagious distempers appear to attack, as I suppose, both Holland and Scotland; and an unhealthy season is likely to be experienced generally. Between the 8th of April and 17th of May, a female branch of the Royal Family is afflicted; and it is to be hoped she will escape the effects portended between the 7th of July and 7th of August. Some of our settlements in the West, and from the direction of the influence, I should say Canada, is visited by a catastrophe that seems incalculably injurious. For want of room, the mentioning a duel in high life, which was foreshown in the vernal scheme, or radix of the year, has been omitted in its proper place.

Poetical Vagary-continued.

On thus the world keeps very glibly wagging-
Yet on a sudden some frail spring may pop
A little out of order, and the bragging

Of such as idolize the system stop!

Things are not pois'd, we know, so very equal
But what a sudden rig the keel may get;
And which, before we reach far in the sequel,
May all at once the paper barge upset:

"Tis right that we should, therefore, take a survey
Of shoals before us, ere we 're topsy-turvy.

TIMELY WARNINGS AND WHOLESOME PRECEPTS.

On the 1st we perceive Saturn situate in the Tail of the Dragon; and passing over the chain of Lunar Aspects, we observe the conjunction of Jupiter with the Sun in Leo, and the combustion for a fortnight of that planet. We have then the opposition of Venus and Georgium Sidus, from Cancer and Capricorn, the latter being at the time retrograde, to note down for consideration. States, on a sudden, like Etnean mountains,

Roll tides of lava round from fiery fountains!

The positions and revolutions presented by the Vernal Scheme, and confirmed by the evidence of the Summer figure, together with the aspects extracted above, represent things in the West as wearing a very gloomy appearance. What is expressly portended with regard to Spanish affairs, it is no very easy matter to single out and divine; but by Jupiter, who is Lord of the Ascendant of this quarter, and by the sign of the oriental angle, Spain is doubly denoted. Both the malefics oppose the ascendant and combine to afflict its Lord, which evinces some act of desperation-some ultimate stroke of retribution as overtaking the recreant cabal which has traitorously violated the sanctuary of her freedom-driven her patriotic worthies into exile-and sullied her bosom with the blood of her best children! The coercive measures adopted in our Western colonies to enforce subordination seem to have failed in producing any thing like peaceable results. If our Council Chamber has not already changed some of its members, it is among the events foreshown. During the Summer quarter, Italy will be visited by a terrible storm, or some convulsion of Nature, and the city of Rome, it seems, will suffer much injury.

Poetical Vagary-continued.

I own I don't much fancy the machinery;
And being doubtful of the engineers,
Am looking forward to some woeful scenery-
Some crash to happen in a few more years!
But I have spoken, perhaps, more metaphorically
Than will, by all iny Readers, be thought good;
I'll therefore treat my finish more historically,
To make the system better understood;
That all may augur from its composition,
How long the gimcrack may keep in condition.
