A friend has favored us with the London ".V?7y Prophetic .ilmanack fur 1822: wherein, accor ding' to the phenomena of the heavens and the configuration of the planets, the important e vents of the year are ascertained and cor.fident- iy predicted. The author refers to his Al.n" nac-h for the last year, (which we have not seen,) and now that the year is over, declares that all his prophecies, and one in particular, foretelling the death of the Queen and the military r t which ensued, had been literally verified. Whatever clue this increnious astronomer r;:iv have acquired to lead him through the labyrinth of the. future, we know not but his remarks on Comets, and the connection w hich he aih.I-es them to have had with the fate and fortunes ..f the late Emperor ot Prance, deserve con.-idera- tion for the poetical beaut v of the concluding idea, if for nothing else.

I have now reason to call aprain for calm and candid attention. At the meridian of his glory, which I have lust been describing, a Comet of prodigious character came to witness his eminent station. Returning from its per- ihclium, that magnificent luminary he came faintly perceptible at the beginning of September, 1811, at which time it had acquired 26 deg. of Celestial North Lati tude, and was then vertical in the Lati tude of Corsica, and the Southern Ex tremity of Natural France. Its splen dour contiucd to increase, until it had reached 4 8 deg. of Celestial Latitude, at which time, blazing with unspeakable splendour, it stood upon the Zenith of Paris and its Latitude. Having travers ed the heavens in such a track as to reign vertically over every point of Latitude from South to North of France, let it be, of all things most strictly noticed, that its highest degree of lustre was at that par ticular time vjhen it ivas on the Meridian and Zenith of Paris at r.ion-day After it in L
