The Time Prolonged.—It is understood that Miller and his associates have recently carefully reviewed the calculation upon which they found the prophecy of the near approach of the end of the world, when an error was discovered in the footing of one of the columns of a thousand "years." This is an important discovery just now—it will dispel the anxieties about so sudden a go-off, and give promise that we are yet to witness the filling of many a bubble, and, realize the enjoyment of many a picnic before the end of all things. The "ascension robes" with which many of the Millerites on Long Island have provided themselves, are not likely to be wanted. —Jour. Com.
