TO THE EDI7DR OF THE STAR. ON THE PROPMECIES.-NITNIBER XXXII'. TIIE FIFTH TRUMPET. § V. Thstripticn of the Locust:. The resemblances of the locusts [were] like horses prepared for battle; and for their heads [there were] as crowns of gold; and their faces [were] as faces of men ; and they had hair as hair of women ; and their teeth were as of lion:. (Rev. ix. 7, S.) In the common version we read " the utAeßs of the locusts wiTe like horses, &c. but signifies titni htude, resnnblance, likeness in any respect whatever. In this place it cannot mean shape, for in that case the creatures spoken of would be horses : besides, how can they be like horses in shape, when they have " face: as facer of m:n ?" Nor could they have any other kind of faces, since, as we have already seen, men, real men, arc symbolized by Me locust:. The re semblance here mentioned must therefore be in some other quality or attribute than that of shape. The horse, in hieroglyphical language, has signifi cations, varying according to the appendages or ac companiments with which be is introduced A niong others, he symbolises immoderate violence, war, aagtscst, dominion (b) ; and here we are prevented, by the words employed, from giving any other sense to this symbol ; for the horses to which the locusts are resembled arc " horses prepared for battle." The personages who make their appearance on the open ing of the four first seals are all mounted on horses —they. are all warriors, though one of them only obtains the ultimate victory;. namely, the rider on the white horse—white being the emblem of justice [r,r righteousness] prosperity, and triumph. But the rider on the black horse, the representative of the same men that are here symbolized by locusts, is there puma) ed not merely as a warrior ; but, by the pair of balances, (c) as a merchant—an unjust mer chant, like all who accompany or second their com mercial prt.jccis with war ; anctunder this fifth trum pct the sainc persons have also a double character assigned to them. By locusts, they are, as we have seen, symbolized as men in holy orders :—by horses-- 'war-horses, they are represented as bent on conquest ; for though it was given to them that they themselves should not kill, I.ut have that office performed for them by the secular power, they were not the less active in their murderous exertions in quest of spoil, victory, and dominion. These locusts had " FOR their heads, as it were crowns it e f gold (d). —In the common version we read—" Os their heads as it were crowns LIKE gohl:" But ivi with an accusative not only may, but generally ought to be rendered " for," and the sense requires that it should be so translated in this place ; and, for the common reading CZ; TrEcasoi Gl.k01•1 xptifew, the MSS. in the pro portion of 25 to 3, read, cec o-TEeavlt 7 . ,puovt, as crowns of gold, or, as it were crowns of gold (e). By a trope et.mrnon to all languages crowns are here put for those who wear them, and the sense is simply this : the l Bads, leaders, sovereigns of the locusts, are men wearing crowns : that is, KINGS. But " the crowns of geld" are here deteriorated by the word o'sc [as it were] being prefixed to them—a circumstance which must not be overlooked. That some sort of diminution of the Royal prerogative is intended is obvious, and from this circumstance some might be inclined to consider the expression as signifying something short of roy ‘lty, namely coronets, viz. those of the sacred orders— 'nitro.. But we are precluded from applying the word " crowns" to any thing short of Regal power, not only by the known hieroglyphical signification of the term (f) but by another circumstance, which ought to have great weight in settling the mean ing of the Seals and Trumpets. In the next chap ter of this prephecy John is made to eat the book that has been opened ; that is, to study and compre hend its meaning, and for this end—that he might be enabled to prophecy. His prophecies then relate to the same subjects as the book, but we do net find in them a reference to any other crowns but those that are regal: of these, indeed, we find frequent mention, and we are plainly enough informed, that it was by their means that the locusts were enabled to become such torments to mankind :—they gave their power and strength to the beast. They became the firoperty fi ef m the locusts —Tau heads :—ruling only for their bene t —sacrificing the best interests of every other class in the community, to the aggrandisement of the hie rarchy. This 'fact removes every difficulty from the words now under consideration, which are a plain prediction that these locusts would not only be pro tected by crowned heads, but encroach so much on the Royal prerogative, as to leave to the kings, by *hose sufferance they existed, only the form and sem blance of Royalty—only that portion of power which under their guiJance and direction, might be best' adapted to promote the ambitious and domineering -pretensions of the sacerdotal orders. When they em ployed .th m as their satellites and executioners, then, indeed, they extolled their power, anathematising all who durst presume even to murmur against lawless cppression ; but if these plipet kings dared at any time to attempt to shake off the fetters imposed upon them by their spiritual rulers, or, listening to the dice totes of conscience, hesitated in any instance to per. petrate the most flagitious acts of wickedness, for the good of the Church, they were then taught in whose hands that power was actually lodged, of which they were nominally the possessors ! These degraders of Royalty had faces as faces le men : that is, though symbolised by locusts [to desig (i:) A &idled horse, for instance, represents passions under r . strai ot.

The word " men," employed as a generic term, would also include the female locusts ; but we are not left merely to infer their connexion with the family :-- 7 4: locust: had hair as hair of women—they had orders among them different from those who were shaven: witness the myriads of nuns who, in direct opposition to the injunction of PAUL (1 Tim. v• 24.) were enjoined to lead a life of celibacy.—But the sacred ardent being symbolised—not directly described as men—the human faces and hair attributed to them must not be taken merely in a literal sense : they respect princip a lly the assumed character of the locusts ; their imposing as pect ; the semblance of manly virtue, and dignity, and the feigned modesty, with which their most nefa rious proceedings were to be veiled. That their claims to virtue and humanity are all dissimulation, is inti mated by a phraseology similar to that employed in the preceding clause ; it is not said that they had face: of men, but that their faces were AS faces of men—and they had hair AS hair of women—assumed characters which no more belong to them than the human face and hair belong to natural locusts. This part of the description of the locusrs agrees exactly with what was predicted in the sealed book [Da N In] respecting the Little horn. He was to have 'something of human features :—in this horn were eyes LIKE the eyes of a man—he was a seer, sagacious, and indued with foresight; he had also a mouth—a speeding, that is, a human mouth ;—a mouth speaking great things (Dan. vii. 8). How does he employ this mouth ? In uttering dark sentences (viii. 23),.flatterie: (xi. 34), and nu:redone things against the GOD of gods (ver. 30. —Front this it appears that the assumed modesty of the locusts, symbolised by hair as the hair of women [their hair is given to them as a veil. 1 Cor. xi. Ls] is foreign to their true character—a veil as sumed to hide and disguise the spirit that actuates them in all their proceedings; for in reality they have a Jerre countenance (or, A the words might be ren dered, an impudent countenance—that species of impu dence which belongs to a harlot, as the word in the original imports), and teeth as of lions —devouring the earth—destroying the MIGHTY (I. e. KINGS, three of whom they swallowed up), and the holy people (Dan.' viii. 24). And they had breast-plates as breast-plates of ; ariell the sound of their wings 41 the sound of c ha riots with , span horses running to battle (ver. 9). The locusts, defended as with breast-plates of iron, are qualified, during the period of their power, to re pel every attack made upon their body. They had I the power of the kings for their protection, as has been already noticed—the iron hand of injustice lifted up in their favour, under the violated name of law : nor were they restrained within any kind of limits— they had wings, the marauding power of their heads, to transport and extend their empire to every clime subjected to the dominion of the fourth beast ; (g) which, tinder its ten crowned horns, the head: of the lo custs still eontinued to devour the whole earth, and tread it down, and break it in pieces (Dan. vii. 23). Nor was extension of their sovereignty a casual result of the conquests effected by their heads over those parts only of the earth which strictly speaking, never constituted a part of the proper body of DANIEL'S fourth beast ; but, instigated by the locusts, the heads themselves were so blinded with the common darkness as fre quently to attack each other with the whole strength of their respective kingdoms, for no earthly object whatever but to rivet more closely on their own necks the chains which these infernal agents had forged for them and their people. Look at history—can a sin gle war be produced that has taken place in Europe, since the epoch of that darkness 'Which gave power to the locust:, which had not its origin in the machina tions of this body—or in which they or their heads did not contrive to introduce the name of that religion which preaches only PEACE ? The evils proclaimed by the preceding trumpets, had some limits—the third part of the trees and grass —the third part of the creatures and ships in the sea —the third part of the waters—the third part of the Sun and Moon ; but the plague of the locusts has no boundary—wherever they appear they carry their pes tilence with them, and torment those men who have not the seal of GOD in their foreheads. By reason of these false teachers, who have many followers, the way of truth came to be evil spoken of (2 PSG ii. 2.) While they had power, in the 4eight of their prosperity, defended by their iron breast plates, to fine, imprison, and inflict corporal punishment on all who presumed to refuse submission to their will, none dared to testify openly against them but those only who were sealed ky GOD, and who, in consequence, often sealed their testimony with their blood. Deterred by the punishments that awaited such a crime, those who groaned under the iron yoke of these tyrants, and yet would not endan ger themselves by an open resistance, could not but feel, and as far as safety would permit, complain of the evils which they were made to endure. But those who inflicted them were Ministers of the Christian reli gion [so they blasphemously called and still continue to call themselves] ; is it to be wondered then that the ignorant multitude, the men not sealed, whose ears have not been opened to hear the truth proclaimed by the FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS,' should identify these I men with christianitj, and in consequence speak evil of those things which they know not ? (Jude 10.) It could not be otherwise. They knew nothing of 1 christianity ; for Antichrist never did, nor ever will teach it. But, ignorant Nas they were, they knew by Ithe work of she law writtessin their heart ( Rom. ii. 15) that the practices of these tormentors of man kind could not possibly be warranted by any dis pensation issuing from infinite wisdom and good ness. Can we be surprised then to find that as the influence of the locusts declined, as they lost their power to torment that class whom they would not slier to die, but conoeila to live in their communion, that that very class of men should at length become loud in their clamours, and, in proportion to the safety with which they might speak out, be active in proclaiming the true character of ecclesiastics ? Any cord, however strong, when loaded to the ut most that it can bear, will break if only a feather be added to the weight. The sacred orders, arrogant, (g) One instance shall suffice at present out, of thousands that might be produced. In the true spirit of barbarian zeal, the Spa niards, who accomplished the conquest of the New World by the slaughter of more than ten millions of the human species, forced multitudes of their wretched captives into the water, and, after baptizing them, immediaiely cut their throats, to prevent their apostatizing from the faith. Some of these pious disciples of the locusts, in virtue of a solemn vow, hanged or burnt thirteen hu man beings every morning, in honour of CUR= and the twelve 41:0.0e , ! •S'e f owsses s Rue. .; ee Weit /luau. presumptuous, and infatuated by the impunity with which they had notrial t y trampled upon the people, but hurled kings from their thrones,dared, even after their real character began to be !mown, to maintain the struggle with the Civil Power. Was this to be endur ed by the great men of the earth, after knowledge had made such progress as to skew them that the claims of the locusts could not rest on divine authority—that the whole body w a creature of their own forming —that they themselves were the heads of this creature? Impossible. In their hearts they began to hate this beast of their own creation : nay it alas put into their hearts to hate it ( Rev. xvii. 16) • but the difficulty was how to destroy it, without involving themselves in the same tuin, for in the darkness that gave birth to the locusts, the civil and gryllous institutions were so en twined and interw, ven as to become !tone of one bone and flesh of one flesk. No way appeared left to wrest from them their usurped power, and lodge it where it should always have remained, but gradually to lessen their importance, by allowing and encouraging men to ex pose the arrogance an& wickedness of their groundless claims and pretensions. Hence the favour shewn in many countries to the men who took the lead in that revolution commonly known by the name of the Rd-or ' 'nation ; and hence the impunity with which others were permitted to disseminate writings, the apparent tendency of which was to undermine the christian re ligion and bring it into contempt, but which generally had for their real object the subversion of the power of the hierarchy. On this I shall not insist at present, as I must here , after go more into detail respecting the predicted de struction of the locusts; for power is given to them for only a limited period of time. We learn from the prophecies delivered by Jonx, after he eat the open book, that the Mauer @fat locusts, and that of their heals have one and the same duration : but in this fifth trum pet we have two precise portions of that time men-, tined—lAfive months" and "five months," which must not be passed over without particular notice. Of which in my next. BIBLICETS. SPORTING.—The beginning of last week, a party of 1 Gentlemen, near Norwich, who had agreed to meet to take one day's diversion of coursing, to try the speed and bottom of their greyhounds, assembled at the appointed place, when the majority preferring • that fairer trial of high breeding which an often country alone can afford, they extended their morning's ride a few miles farther. The setting sim, however, pre vented several matches from being decided, and the distance from home being much increased, it was re , solved, not only 44 to add the night unto the day," but to wait with patience the returning light, that 1 their bets might be determined. On the second day the dogs ran swiftly across the plains, but swifter still the hares ; and night again prevented the attain ! ment of their ardent wishes. The anxious sportsmen resolved to see who should hear away e , the meed of fame," but neither the third, the fourth, norAfth day's termination, had settled the arduous contest. Nimble was too much on the alert for Fly—and then F4i, with winged speed, had distanced Nimble. Mary Anne and Patriot ran a hard-contested and undecided match, and afterwards Mary Anne gave Patriot a complete "go-bye." Jupiter was defeated by Venus, and Captain yielded to the gallant Admiral. In brief, the Sabbath bells led the Monday morning's party to their respec tive parishes, well satisfied that the first six days of I the new year had afforded so much enjoyment ! A daring depredation was on Sunday evening com mitted on the post from Manchester to Oldham. It appears the boy alighted and entered an inn in Hol lingwood, leaving his horse and its load at the door. In the mean time, the Oldham bag, containing letters with bills and notes to a considerable amount, was dexterously extricated from the saddle, and carried away. Several robberies have lately been committed at Douglas, in the Isle of Man, and its vicinity. Three instances of sacrilege have Occurred within these few days—a crime hitherto scarcely known there but by name. _ _ _ _ MANSION4IOUSE.—Yesterday Michael Meyer:, a ven der of oranges, was charged with attempting a fraud. —The complainant stated, that having purchased ' some oranges of the defendant, he gave him a shil ling, this he returned as bad, and the same with ano ther he gave him, and became pressing with him to give him gold to be changed ; this the complainant refused, and returned the oranges, on which the de fendant followed, and abused him grossly. However, as the complainant was unwilling to swear that -the shillings returned were not those he had given, the defendant was dismissed, with a caution not to vend his nods in that neighbourhood again. GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday Charier Berry was ordered to be sent on board the tender, for attempting to steal a cask from the door of Mr. Walton, tallow-chandler, in the Old Jewry ; but in consequence of his prefer ring to take his trial, he was fully committed. , BIRTHS.

MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in L'i Majesty's Service, challenge *the whole world to prove 1 single instance where their Medicine and method of cure hay failed of the desired effect. The practice of many years in t: i. particular branch of their profession has not given rise to one unsuccessful case. They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and ClV't of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the sync* which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects at a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youths of both sext in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barren ness ; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a di-• tres.ing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotence. These are its remote and ultimate effects, while toe sumptions, loss of muscular power, and various nervous consphino I usually characterise the earlier stages of this solitary vice. Of pc. 1 sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, thei; treatment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful, in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. la Cde most obstinate and comvlicated cases of venereal infectice, sL ch as obstructions in the urethra, spongy excrescences, tiara te mours, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, gleets, a. al,a STRICTURES, Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled the skill of other Practitioners ; are by their present im ?roved •,:lin . of treatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the patiert 1 suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage waich often follows the application of the lunar caustic. In-the coarse of en years extensive practice in this metropolis, numerous cases of Strictures have been and are daily under their are, the total eradication of which are effected by a safe, :certain, and gape* tious mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this cocoon . , is speedily removed, and the patient restored to sound:Au gorous health. But where the debility has for years existeks proper perseverance in their restorative remedies,' after the S t rg. ture has been destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive* slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the Constitution.
