THE RESTORATION OF THE JEWS.

(To the Editor of the Staffordshire Gazette.)
SIR,—A few months past you ably pointed out the course
of policy to be pursued by this country in the affairs of the
East, and gave some reasons for supposing the period of the
Jews' restoration to be at hand. If you will allow me, I
will present some more powerful motives to the country,
urging it to assist the scattered people now about to rise into
glory and power; and show, both from the Prophets and the
general aspect of the times, that the "time of the indigna-
tion" is nearly at an end—that upon us, indeed, are the lat-
ter days come.
In the first place, I shall point out how remarkably many
different prophetic dates terminate in one year, 1844, all
commencing their reckoning from perfectly independent and
different circumstances. fshall consider to begin with the
prophecies of Daniel relating to the " abomination which,
maketh desolate," referring it, as all commentators agree,
to the Nahommedans ; and it is remarkable, that Sophro-
nius' the patriarch of Jerusalem, at the time of its occupa-
tion by Omar and the Saracens, should have used, when be-
holding their entry, this very expression, " This is, indeed,
the abomination spoken of by Daniel the prophet." Now;
the duration of this abomination, or the period to scatter the
holy people, is, according to the prophet, a time, times, and
a half, which corresponds to 1260 days, or prophetic years ;
and, commencing the calculation from the flight of Mahomet,
the first year of the Hegira, A.D. 622, and 1260 years termi-
nate in 1844 ; 1260 lunar orMahommedan years end in 1044.
In the Apocalypse the duration of the power of the beast
that had blasphemy written on its forehead, is forty and two
months, and the time of the woman travailing in the wilder-
ness is 1260 days of years, or a time, times, and the dividing
of times. These, as they do not refer to the Mohamme-
dans, but to the Popish beast and his oppressions, must be
counted solar years,_ and calculated from the commencement
of Papal power. Pope Pelagius first declared his infalli-
bility, and, consequently, first had the name of blasphemy
written on his forehead, in'the year A.D. 584, 1260 years, or
42 solar months from that date, end in 1844. The little horn
of the fourth beast spoken of by Daniel, and mentioned
again by St. John, that was to have power !of a time, times,
and the dividing of time, is undoubtedly iekittical in all its
marks with the Papal horn, and commencing, like it, in A.D.
584, it ends also in 1844. There were to be 2300 days, or years
to the cleansing of the sanctuary foretold by Daniel—the dif-
ficulty here is, where to begin the calculation from ; I think
there are many reasons for reckoning the symbolical
cleansing by Ezra. The decree of Artaxerxes to Ezra was
given in B.C. 456, 2300 years from that date end in 1844—the
time when the Jews will take first possession of their land
amidst strife and tumult such as the world has never seen.
But there is another.and a remarkable date yet to be consi-
dered : the sixth woe, or trumpet, is to last a day, a month,
a year, and an hour. A day or one year, a month or 30
years, a year or 360 years, and an hour or 15. days, in all
391 and a few days. This woe isto commence after the loosing
of the enemy from the great river Euphrates, and is usually
referred to the Turks. The most marked period of their
history, after their advance from the river, is the taking
of Constantinople, A.D. 1453 ; the 391 years from that
time end in 1844. I have here pointed out six dates ending
in 1844, all referring to the contemporaneous events of the
restoration of the Jews, and the judgment of the dragon and
the beast. There are two %ore dates when some other pro-
phecies terminate in 1873, when the 1290 years are accom-
pll bed, extirpated—see Daniel ;—and
if the 2300 years are reckoned. from Artaxerxes' commission
to Nehemiah, instead of Ezra, B.C. 427, they end in 1873,
the final cleansing of the sanctuary. On that date will Gog
and Magog be buried. The armies of Gog and Magog are
said in Ezekiel to take seven months burying ; seven months
are 210 days of years, or half a time. I still follow commen-
tators in supposing the armies of Gog and Magog to be the
Mahommedans, and it is remarkable that when 1873 arrives,
the Turks will have been just 210 years declining or burying,
for their last conquest was Candia, in A.D. 1669, since which
time they have uninterruptedly declined in power and domi-
nion. Vain, then, are the efforts of_ nations to uphold the
integrity of the Ottoman empire—the sure voice of.prophecy
has declared it must fall ! Here are three eras terminating
in 1873 ; two more very remarkable prophecies end in 1917.
the 1337 years of Daniel, when the era of Blessedness com-
mences, and the last of the four tyrannical empires is finally
broken up and completely destroyed. The four great em-
pires are typified by the images of Nebuchadnezzar, the head
of which was gold, and the toes iron, mixed with clay.
" Thou art this head of gold," says the prophet to the king,
and the holy Roman empire is the iron mixed with clay, and
"it must endure until seven times have passed over.' Se-
ven times seven weeks of years, or 2520 days or prophetic
years, beginning, of course, withi the reign of this head of
gold, Nebuchadnezzar, in B.C. 603, in 1917 the 2520 years
will be ended, and the prophecy accomplished. " Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord God," by the mouth of Amos,
" that I will send a famine in the land ; not a famine of
bread nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the words of the

therefore, decided to take the result of a balloatgwr
two divisions of reformers in this borough
tain whether Mr. Tufnell or Mr. Leach had
order that both might unite in supporting the candidatey in'i
whose favour the sense of the majority was expressed. Then
experiment has been tried, and Mr. Tufnell is pronounced to
have had the majority in his favour. Mr. Leach then issued
an address, expressing a hope that those friends who had
espoused his cause would rally round Mr. Tufnell.—Govern-

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE—YESTERDAY.
Our market this morning was rather sparingly supplied
with English Wheat, and as' the condition of most of the
samples was much affected by the damp state of the weather,
we experienced a dull trade in this grain ; the few choice dry
parcels on sale found purchasers slowly at about the quota-
tions of this day se'nnight, but all secondary descriptions
hung heavily on hand, although offered on lower terms.
Foreign Wheat was held firmly at last week's prices, but
the transactions which took place were altogether of a retail
character. Flour, both of town and country manufacture,
met a very limited demand, and the previous value of the
article remained unaltered. With the exception of the finest
Malting sorts, of which we had a very short supply, all kinds
of Barley are very difficult of disposal, and in cases where
sales were forced a reduction of Is. per qr. on the currency
of Monday last had to be submitted to. Of Oats the fresh
receipts brought coastways and from Ireland have been ex-
tremely small, and a fair steady trade was done in this article
to-day, at fully former prices. Beans were scarce, and the
turn dearer. In Peas we have no alteration to notice.
