this city. We make the following extracts
from our exchanges, to show the extent Of
this delusion, and to prove that Cincinnati
is not the only city in which the material is
to be found on which such blasPhemous de-
lusions can be impressed TO conviction:
MILLERITEs AWAITING THE GREAT FL
NALE.-The Boston Democrat Of October
10th. saws: The Tabernacle at this mo-
ment ~ o'clock is crowded with men,
women and children, presenting singular
scene Of religious infatuation. As much as
the Millerites may have been charged with
insincerity, we cannot doubt, after looking
upon the crowd now assembled in the
tabernacle, and listening to their prayers,
exhortations and hallelujahs, coming, as
they appear to, from their very souls, we
say we doubt their sincerity as little as we
do their most singular infatuation. They
have fixed upon o'clock this afternoon for
The Coming of Christ The world is to
end this day at A o'clock they most firmly
believe-and they are preparing their souls
and bodies for that great event, and for ta-
king their final leave cf terra -frma, in their
grcat ascension Some of their celebrations
though honest-partake a little Of the
saint and sinner.
The Meredith Bridge IN. H-) Gazette
gives several instances Of respectable men,
who have made complete arrangements for
the coming of the bridegroom, and who ex-

fesses to be full in the faith. He is a worthy
farmer, and many amusing instances are
related Of him, exhibiting the struggle which
is going on In his mind between duty and
interest 1t is said of him that he reckons
interest on his money with the same exact
ness he ever did; and that he holds it to be
his duty to dispose of all his property, which
he offers at sharper's price. Il il said that
up to this time his crops, except grain. are
unharves;ed; but he does not allow his
brethren TO feed upon them, and it is not
unlikely that he will take them in by and BY,
for fear they will be injured, if not by fire,
by frost. One thing though, ought to be
mentioned; and it will no doubt furnish Mr..
Morgan great consolation hereafter, and

EXCITEMENT AMONG THE MILLERITEs-
We are informed, says tie Y. ". Sun, that
a shoemaker up town is giving away his
boots and shoes. in order to have his affairs
closed BY the time the world il to be de-
stroyed. II is melancholy to contemplate
this wreck of reason.
The following advertisement appeared in
the Philadelphia Ledger:
WARNING.|I believe, according 70 the
the Scriptures, that the Lord Jesus Christ
will be revealed by the clouds of Heaven
on the tenth day of The seventh month,
which agrees with The 22d inst | there
fore entreat AL whom this may reach to
prepare to meet their God.
CLoRINDA 5. MINOR.
The MILLERITEs--The \. Y. True
Sun says: The Millerites hold watch and
ward tonight" up town. in expectation Of
seeing signs denoting the general breaking
up of creation. Miiierism, which we sup
pose had expired with the expiration of the
period fixed BY Miller for the duration Of
time, seems to have taken a fresh start, and
we regret to learn that many persons have
been led into the widest extrayagancies
by belief tia. the end Of the worl is close
at hand.
Since the above was written, we learn
that meeting Of Millerifes, held last night
in the church at the corner Of Chrystie and
De-ancey streets, was broken in upon by
some rowdies, who applauded, stamped and
shouted much TO the annoyance of the as
semb!y.
We End the following in the Baltimore
sun Of last Tuesday:
FRUITS OF MILLERIsM.-Afier the busi-
ness OF the CITY Court had been closed on
Saturday, respectable young woman ap-
preached the Bench, and modestly asked
an audience Of his Honor Judge Brice.-
The Judge descended from his seat and the
young woman, whose name we suppress,
appealed to him to know whether he could
give her any redress or advice in relation to
the entire neglect of her husband who had
become proselyte TO Millerism, and had
Tor some time past declined all his ordinary
avocations, in anticipation Of the speedy
coming OF the Saviour to Judge the world.
lis Honor. we suppose, somewhat perplexed
by the novelty Of the application, gave the
"better half in this instance at least. such
consola'ory advice as the moment suggested,
remarking, that although such measures
could not be taken as was necessary for the
entire suppression Of the evil. vet the subject
would be brought to the notice of the Grand
Jury, and urged upon their attention, that
these dlsorganizers of social life, should be
at least confined to the sober restrictions of
constitutional ar,tho-;t,-
