The Jews and their Restoration.

"THE M1LLESIuM.-At the twcnty-irst ami
| versary meeting of the Norfolk and Norwich AS
sociation England for promoting Christianity
among the Jews the Rev. w. Wollaston, Pyln.
| NJ, Rector of William Herts, in the course OF bis
speech, stated that, according to the different
prophecies in the Bible, the chronologsts had cal
culaed that the time which God had appointed to
set the Children Of Israel free fast approach
ing some of whom stated that it wsuld take
place between 1910 and 1850, while others fixed
it from 1914 to lS47, which latter time the reve-
rend speaker believed in He thought that the
Christian Churches should unite together in this
undertaking, the conclusion of which, he ieJt per-
suaded, was fast approaching.
The above paragraph, copied from an English
journal into several papers on this side of the At
lantic with the many opinions and dissertations
of several dvines belonging to the various sects
composing the Christian Churches, both in this
country and on the Continent of Europe, has made
some impression upon the public mind, which
promises to be of much moral benefit, and the ar
ray of talent which composes each side of this
question exhibits that this is no common argument
to decide upon.
The difference which divides the Jewish from
the Christian faith is principally the coming OF
the Messiah. The Israelitish belief Is, that ne
has not yet appeared, and that at his advent the
destruction of the world will ensue. The Chris
tians, on the contrary, maintain that in the person
of Jesus Christ the first appearance of the Mes
siah, foretold by Scripture, was represented,
and that at the second ceming the world will be
DESTROYED The restoration of the Jews is, how
ever, admitted by all to be event to occur be-
fore the Millennium and in all the prayers OF the be
brcws, scattered as they throughout the world,
the speedy return to the promised land is devouty
asked and duplicated daily devotions,
which, with pious Jew, is on his arising, during
the afternoon, evening, and on his returning to
rest, besides at every meal he invokes the Al
mghtys blessing, TEEN with requests for their
restoration to the land Of their Fathers. The
eternal spirit of liberty which exists in every llv-
ing work of Gods creation is, therefore, strongly
developed in their breasts; and the event that
they so much desire is of the utmost importance
70 the remainder of civilized mankind.
AS body, keenly alive and sensitive to every
movement, both in the political and civil chess
board, the world, it is remarkable that this SUBJECT
which has agitated SC. much the minds OF the pub
lie, excites little interest with them 1t must be
considered however that the prophecies have inva-
riebly stated that it should be by Divine Agency
alone that the restoration would be consummated,
and the implicit reliance they place in all the Scrip
tural writings is doubtless sufficient and cogent
reason for their unwilingness to enter upon mat
ter which they are told by these Holy Writings no
man knoweth. Certain it is that the recent perse-
cutions have been foretold and that the wise and
prudent policy pursued by those nations which
rank highest in civilization and ali that appertains
TO the improvement! of mankind has been likewise
prophecied These inspirations with their deve-
lopement will form the subject of another number,
and their fulhlment with the relation they bear to
the Millennium. Z. NJ.
90 The Paris correspondent of the National
Inteligencer, Mr.. Walsh, has this passage in
| late letter
:" The crying sin of French literature is the
cOuntenanCe ana ProVocdllou ot olssoiutehcss, iio
| which no branch of it can be proclaimed free. AS
history is philosophy teaching BY example, the
french novel. and particularly the tale which occu-
pies the feuiAeton of every daily paper, is liber-
tinsm teaching by every conceivable device of tor
.ured ingenuity and depraved imagination. But
the mighty London journals are not themselves to
be absolved from guilt or negligence with regard
TO public morals, when we heed the grossness OF
the details of judicis cases which abound in their
pages. That section of your Tariff (the 32d)
which prohibits the importation of indecent prints
OF books deserves at least rigorous an execution
ss any other OF the whole mass. Attention to the
manifold, papable, boundless evil produced by the
RIGHTEOUSNESS of periodical and ephemeral publ
cations in this meridian, renders me doubly anx-
ious that your domestic police should succeed IN
suppressing the pollutions of the same kind with
which, according to statements that have read in
your reports of the Congressional debates, yosr
! principal cities are infested"
