The electors of Leominster are very chary about pro-
mising their votes, and Sir E. B. Lytton said in a speech
just delivered, that unless they make up their minds soon,
he will make up his, and take his departure.

of votes for the respective candidates stood thus :—For
Prince Louis Napoleon, 4,050,000 ; Gen. Cavaignar,
1,006,000; M. Rollin, 206,521. Thus Prince Louis has,
already obtained double the two millions required by law.

Christian Bishop is flourishing at Jerusalem, preaching
the pure Gospel there, and spreading the Scriptures
, ~

wnne now the great anti-Christian bishop, who has so
long successfully opposed both the preaching and the
spreading of the Scriptures, is dethroned, and banished
from Rome, with small prospect of ever resuming his
power in the seven-hilled city. This is significant ; as
Rome (which in Scripture is called Babylon) is in every
instance placed in antagonistic relation to Jerusalem ; .as

the one lias risen so the other has fallen (see Isaiah xiv.
3, 4 ; Jeremiah li. 35.49, 50 • Psalm cxxxvii. 7,8.) Ba-
bylon's fall is the sign that Jerusalem is to rise. Past

history relates, that when Babylon first rose into power,
and during the seventy years she remained great, she per-
secuted Jerusalem, and held her children incaptivity ;
then ancient Babylon fell, and the Jews returned from
their exile, and Jerusalem flourished, and the worship of
the true God was restored in her. Mystical Babylon rises
into power, and Jerusalem is taken by the Roman army,
and those of the Jews who escape the sword are scattered
amongst the nations. Rome has flourished 1800 years
and more, while during this period Jerusalem has been
trodden down, and her children persecuted. But now
behold—Babylon the Great is fallen ! is fallen ! and the
captivity of the Jewish people is loosening. Instead of
persecution they are now tempted with political power.
In Jerusalem the pure worship of the true God is being_
restored. The Holy City is preparing for the reception of
her children. Her great King is coming ! And evennoW
Popish Christendom is agitated, and her Popish Princes
dismayed (Isaiah xiv. 9) by reason thereof.
