One of the pictured coming events is the marriage of a British Princess, which may be taken to signify the marriage of Prince George with Princess May. Anothe? represents two British warships in collision, and a third cloao beside the two colliding ones, which may be the indication of the recent collision by which Admiral Tryon’s flagship, the Victoria, was sunk. Then there is another, in which the French troops nve shown in fighting array with an Eastern people, which may he read in the recent events in Siam.' For the present month of August, he prognosticates as follows: The position of Saturn is very serious, implying danger of war and sedition in the colonies, border warfare, and at home lamentable colliery explosions, shocks of earthquakes, heavy crime records, and much trouble in our foreign relations There will also be serious sickness in the land, and many terribly sudden deaths from heart disease. . In navigation, many disasters will ocCur, with great Joss of life. It will bo an unfortunate mouth for schools, young children, and places of amusement. Jupiter, located in - the sec nd house, denotes an increase in trade and commerce, but Mars, being in square, much cheating and fraud will occur, and many prosecutions for adulteration.
