In regard to the various suporsliliuus notions of the ignorant and degraded aborigines of Africa,ii would be difficult to measure llicir extent m any community, or to fathom the depth of degradation and misery thus liarfiicd down from one generation to snuther. Among the numerous nbsurd opinions nf s super stitious chsruclor which prevail in Western Africa, and wliich lead to the most loohsh practices, the universal belief in whichcraft occupies a most prom nont position. A most absurd superstition, common among thorn, is, that no person (except very old and wornoul people) dies, unless by (ho agency of sumo oilier parson, who according to (heir notions, •made Witch’ for llio deceased individual ; no miller what may bo llio circumstances encoding his death whether by protracted disease or by accident. Sus picion generally reels on one individu il, or more, who was known to have enmity with the deceased; or the family of the dead person are con sulted, and they seldom fail to accuse some one of having ‘made witch* for their dead relative. It some times happens, however, that no pirlicular person is licensed ; in which case it is incumbent on the ‘ffree freeman,' or doctor, (a very imporl.irtl and influen tial personage in every community,) to point out the culprit. The accused person is obliged to undergo the in* fallible ordeal uf'drinkmg s issa.wnod,’ especially il Lite deceived had been a person of consequence.— This driuktng of sassa-wdod. which is a universal lest of witch craft, consists in swallowing l.rgu quantities of an infusion of the bark of the snssi woud tree—gulphing it down until the distended fltdmsch will not receive any more. If I lie person reject* from his tomach this poisonoiM mfuanri. und lives, his innocence is established ; but if lio retains it, and consequently dies, his cruel tormentors arc satisfied of his guilt. The natives of Africa generally are very revengeful. They harbor such feelings for a long time ; nor ore they very parlicolir as to the individual on whom they lake revenge; if he or she belongs to the same family. It is enough. Although the drinking of aaa •« wood is professedly regarded as t lest of witch crsfi, yet perhaps, in most cases, the death of the unfortunate individual who falls a victim to this murderous practice is previously concerted ; and in tbo*e esses in which the death ul the accused person is not desired by the principal operator in this trag ical ordeal, (ho infusion is made so weak as not to produce death. I n sumo cases the victim is unccri moniouily boat to death, after having swallowed the liquid So that, in most cases, the result of this op eration of drinking sassa wood is premeditated.— And, though a considerable number recover, after having submitted to -tins absurd ordeal, yel thou* ands, perhaps millions, have been immolated on this altar of African superstition. Power of Music. — A clergyman, says Mr Sigoor ney, puaacesing mucli know ledge of human nature, instructed his daughters in Iho iheory and praciico of music.

Whether any perfumed lady would be disconcerted at learning the sources of her perfumes, each Indy must decide for horaclf; but il seems (hat Mr. Do la Rue and Dr. Hoffman, in llicir capacities as jurors of the Groat, Exhibition, have made terrible litvoo among iho perfumery. They have found that'many of the scouts said to be procured from flowers and fruile, are really produced from any thing bul flowery sources ; the perfumers are chemists enough to know lh*t similar odors may bo often produced Irom dis similar substances, and if the half crown buttle of perfume re illy has the required odor, the perlumer docs not expect la bo asked what kind of odor was omiued by the substance whence the perfume was obtained Now, Dr. Lyon Playfai', in his nummary of llie jury investigation above ..

CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1852 DEATH OF KINGS. William tho Conqueror died from enormous *at, from drink, and from the violence of his passiots. William Rufus died tho death of the poor stags that he hunted. Henry the First dled'of gluttony, having ealtn too much of a dish of lampreys. Stephen died In a few days, of what was calUd iliac passion, which we suppose may bo a royal word for prussic acid or something like it. Henry tho Second died of a broken heart, occa sioned by (he bad conduct of his children. A broken heart is a very odd complaint fora monarch to die of. Perhaps “rat’s bane in his porridge" meant the same thing as a broken heart. Richard Cceur de Lion died like the animal from which his heart was named, by an arrow from an arobpr. John died nobody knows how, but it is said of chagrin, which, we suppose, is another term for a dose of hellebore. Henry the Third is said to hava died a “natural death,” which, with kings in palaces means the most unnatural death hy which a mortal can shuffle off liis “mortal coil.” Edward the First is likewise said to have died of a “natural sickness,” a sickness which it would puzzle all the college of physicians to de nominate. Edward (he Second was most barbarously, in decently murdered, hy ruffians employed by his own mother and her paramour. Edward the Third died of dotage, and Richard the .Second of starvation, the very reverse of George I lie Fourth. Henry the Fourflt is said to have died “of fils caused by tinetißineas,” and uneasiness in palaces at those times was a very common complaint, Henry lire Fifth is said to have died “ml a pain ful affliction, prematurely,” 'Fins is a courtly phrase for getting rid ol a king. Henry the Sixth died 'n prison, hy means known only to hia j-dtor, and known now only in heaven. Edward the Fifth was strangled in the lower by his uncle Richard the Third, whom Hume de elates to have possessed every quality for govern ment. This Richard the Third was killed In bat tle, fdtrly, of course, for all kinya were cither Kill ed lair, or died naturally to the court circulars of i those days.

Queen Mary is said to have died of “a broken heart,” whereas* she died of a surfeit from eating 100 much of black pudding, her sanguinary being prone to hog’s blood or blood of any sort. Old Queen Boss is said to have died of melan choly, from having eacrtffbud Essex to Ins ene mies. James ilio First died of drinking, and of tho ef fects ol a nameless vice. Charles the First died a righteous death on the scaffold, and Charles thu Second died suddenly, it ts said of apoplexy.
