THE MILLENNIUM Mr.. Miller, who holds the opin-
ION that the millennium is at hand and The world near
Its end, is delivering lectures at the Apollo Rooms
every evening. His audience last evening consisted
of some 300 individuals, principally of the male sex,
and OF that particular portion Of them who delight
IN the accomplishment Of rolling their eyes about in
their head and she wing a large sanctified face. He
does not seem to have had much success with the
young and lovely ladies, for all the females present
and they were very few-were either old or usly.
we suppose the young and pretty ones think it will
De quite time enough for them TO think about the
milleninm when they cannot get young men to tell
them that they enchain and enchant all hearts. Mr.:
Miller Is a good looking stout man, the fac smile of
a comfortable easy old farmer, which we believe he
is. He appears TO be about SO years of age. has
light brown hair worn rather short, sandy whisk-
a pair Of spectacles. His speech is homely
and without affectation; his manner and adj
dres IS are engaging and interesting, and he. talks like
a man who is %sincerel y,convinced he is ia the right.
He does not affect to be more learned than his
hearers, but maintains that God chooses weak and
feeble instruments to work out hls designs IN order
that all the glory of his work may be his own and
he says he believes that any man however simple
or unlearned, provided he possesses common sense,
is able to understand the Bible and denounces those
who maintain that there are mysteries which can
not be explained, or emily partially so, by those

There's a problem for our readers to solve. Mr..
Miller explained that text last night, to his own salts
faction, if not to that of his hearers, and We recon-
mend all those who wish to hear a man who evil
IDENTIFY believes what he advances, to go and hear
MIR Miller at the Apollo. His discourse commences
about a quarter to eight. No charge, and you need
not put any thing in the plate unless you please.
Miss CLARENDON gave her last course ofDramatic
Readings, DC, last evening, to a fashionable,
though not a large audience, at the Society Libra
ry. The programme contained selections from some
of the choicest and most popular plays Of Shaks-
peare, Bulwer, and Sheridan Knowles, and the
poetry was principally chosen from the works of G.
P. Morris, W.. c Bryant, and Mrs. Osgood. We
hardly think Miss Clarendon's powers are of such a
diversified character as to enable her to do Justice to

her hearers, though we are willing TO admit, she is
| possessed of considerable talent. She ie, in addi-

| her an audience of young men, who will come to
look at her, and of young ladies who will accompany
the aforesaid young men, to distract their attention
from the fair actress. Miss G. appeared TO give por-
tons of poetry which conversed of love and kissing,
with great govt; which is, doubtless, owing to the
extensive experience she must have had in such
matters, and her hearers testified their pleasure by
loud applause. Her limitations of Mr.. Wheatley,

ance, where he has been sent Tor by his father and
delivers a disqulsltion on exercise, hydrostatics, &c,
to Grace Hdrkaway, was very good, as was also her
imitation Of Mr. Placide, as Sir Harcourt, but not so
in her representation of Miss Cushman, as Lady Gay
describing the race. She wants the energy and
spirit which Miss Cnshman exhibits, and which rem.
ders that part go effective in her hands.
