From the New York Mirror, The Prophecy. "One might as well be out of the world as out of the fashion," and as the prophecy is now "all the go" we suppose we would be entirely "out of the fashion," were we to suffer the Mirror to be issued without expressing our opinion upon the all-important subject. We beg leave, notwithstanding, to decline the privilege, as it is out of our power to guard the wicked town of Gotham from the calamity about to befall it; but we will gratify the credulous by inserting the following copy of a handbill containing the facts, which finds as

ready a gale in this community as playtickets. 'Solemn sounds of voices rare, And figures fljating in the air. Of birth celestial-, no'' appear, Tj harrow up the heart wiiu fear. "To all the fearful inhabitants of the city of New York, and those who may visit our devoted city, this wholesome counsel is addressed: 4Asit is known to you, then, that this spot of earth is singled out, according to

information given, it is said, by two of

the guardians of our city, as well as sundry strange sounds, for some time successively heard on its eastern side, and on Long Island, we feel fearfully apprehensive that some dreadful calamity is about to tike place. It has been solemnly declared, however, we are informed, that two watchmen, in the course of their nocturnal rambles, discovered a strange

phenomenon, descending to the earth.

which proved to be neither more nor less than a celestial messenger, specially deputed to inform the inhapbitai.tof this wicked city, that on the nineteenth of January, instant, the great Babylon of the West was to be destroyed not by lire and brimstone, nor by the sword of Titus, nor by a mammoth horse but by an earthquake! Horrible! And is the city of New-York, the great emporium of the west, to be overthrown? And tire its inhabitants to be drowned, as

were those of the ante-diluvian world?

So it is said. But still greater wonders

are on the eve of taking place. It is asserted, we know not by whom, except

by the aforesaid informants, alter the

destruction of the city, when nothing but one expanse of water shall appear where

New-York stood, Governor's Island will

Solemnly recede from its present situa

tion, and, with all the pomp of a floating

castle, take its situation where the l ark

now is; and, strange to relate, within an iron railing. Then succeeds the grand exhibition an artificer is to be produced, who will cast, from cannon, &c. on the Island, a great iron preacher, whose stentorian organs of speech will be operated upon by steam the sound of whose artificial voice will be heard far on the

beautiful plain's of Long Island, on the

romantic hills of Jersey, Staten Hand's

remotest inhabitants will hear his warn

ing voice continually "crying aloud,

and sparing not, to those who formerly

resorted to the fallen citv for the sake of

gain-who dealt with her merchants, and

became wealthy by their traffic, not altogether in pearl, and dyes, and fine linens, but in the more substantial articles of life brandy and potatoes and Bergen cabbage'

dependent nation ; but the fates decreed otherwise. Dissatisfaction and disunion

reared their Hydra heads, treachery and

treason stalked forth uncovered in their

ranks, and the intrigues which British gold effected, soon disarmed this noble

band of the terrors, in which Old Lngland viewed it, and as on a latter and more inglorious occasion, became the watch word. Of course all who assisted in this affair, and the cause in which

these unfortunate men were engaged,

were stigmatized as traitors conspiring to overthrow the government, and the

strong arm of the law was raised to pun

ish the conspirators and abettor. Young

Emmet, then, but twenty one years of

age, was arrested and confined in prison, until the day of trial, during which we venture to assert, the Four Courts never witnessed more excitement in the breasts of an injured people, nor never

were the feelings of the heart more aroused than on this occasion. The ii.-

AVe understand that instead of heckling his flax, Mr. Kays steeps it in a liquid that dissolves the glutinous matter by which the fibres are connected "together, and thus, without injuring the fax, he gives it a degree of fineness not attainable by any other process.

ROBERT EMMET. 'How sleep the brave who sink to rest, 4With all their country's honors blest."'' Poor Emmt! we exclaim, as we lay

down his trial, and acquaint ourselves with the martyrdom of this unfortunate

Irishman. Born in atiluence, and of

highly respectable parents, he was des

tined for the law, together with his af

fectionate brother, the highly distinguished advocate at the New-York bar. But warmed with an ardent zeal for his

beloved country, which was then suffer

ing under the persecuting spirit of Bn

tish hirelings, he forsook the law and

joined the society of united Irishmen, and shortly became the leader of that powerful body of Patriots, who had sworn

to protect the home and firesides of the oppressed people, & expel tyranny from the land. Our hero, besides the two Shears and a few others were filled with indignation, and whose hearts burned with the holy flame of patriotism, de

termined to revenge the wrongs inflicted

on an innocent and injured people, be-r-came the rallying point for what the

' royalists then termed the rebels of Ire

land. Companies wrere formed, ammu

nition provided, and onicers appointed

to comaiand this force, which under di

vine Providence, they intended should unravel the chains which had bound them so long in an ignominious slavery, and Ireland be proclaimed a free andin-

A visit to the Cock-pit. Some time ago

our police put an end to cock fighting

in the Liberty-street pit, which, by the

)ye, was erected in a garret. These oc

casional interferences of the police, tho'

somewhat vexatious, have not, it seems,

damped the ardour or affected the taste

ol the cognoscenti, who, it seems, built

a very handsome pit in the Bowery.

rI he ring was neatly ornamented, and

illed with a line smooth substance;

seats in an amphitheatre form, cush

ioned, were raised in numbers calculated to accommodate a large audience.

The usual fashionable precaution of

door keepers, ivory tickets, horse tails

towards the tea water pump, occ. iyc. were adopted, but the police respecting none of those unchartered privileges, went in force on Saturday evening, and took up ten or eleven gentlemen, managers, fcc. In the garret were nearly thirty tea-chests, each curiously arranged and containing a bantam fowl, well fed and furnished. These were put into a bag, and with the fancy gallanted to the watch-house, but the crowing defiance of the gallant birds during the night, awoke the watchmen who had been relieved, and they rose from their bunks and very fairly cutoff the head: of the cocks, leaving their trunks for a breakfast! bonne Louche. The getlcmen, at the usual hour, gave bail, and were discharged, but about

noon, a contryman walked solemnly into

the Police, stalked up to the bench, on which was the magistrate for the day:

used to masticate for many hours daily, a piece of lead ; which being neither hard, friable, nor offensive to the stomach, suited his purpose, he thought, better than any other substance. He continued the custom for many years, deriving great ease from it, and suffering nc sensible injury from the poisi i.ous quality of the metal. On mentioning the fact to a navy surgeon, the Doctor was told? that the sailors, when in hot climates, are want to mitigate thirst by rolling a, bullet in their mouths, when a rcaitity of wate r occurs at sea. Dr. Franklii ! adv ised that mariners should bathe themselves in tubs of salt water: for in pur suing the amusement of swimming, he

observed that however thirsty he was before immersion, he never continued so afterwards; and that though he soaked himself several hours in the day, and several days successively in salt water he perceived not, in consequence of it, the least taste of saltness in his mouth, He also further suggests, that the same good, effect might perhaps be derived from dipping the sailors apparel into the sea? and expresses a confidei te that no danger of catching cold would ensue,

More Effects of Burning Charcoal. A small party of ladies and gentlemen met last Saturday evening, at a house at Central Falls, (about half a mile from this village) for the purpose of e'-ioying Christmas eve, and went into a room where an iron stovs had just been placed without a pipej in consequence of which there was no ventilator. It was thought expedient to burn cha:coal, in preference to wood; to prevent smoke from troubling them, and accordingly a

small quantity was put into the stove and set on lire. In a very short time the whole company were violently seized with spasms and sickness of the stomach

and nearly all of them became speech

less. 1 heir situation was discovered and

they were carried out of the room entirely helpless, and a physician imediai?:J called. We have seen several who were present, and who state that the effect was different on nearly all of them. With one its operation .vas similar to fhe effect of exhilcrating gas, while others indicated that they were suffering with a violent pain in the head, and the lives of several were thought to be in eminent dar.ger,but through the exertions of DocU Gardner, all of them were restored in a

few hours.
