Hume's amendment to Sir R. Inglis's motion, that an humble Address be presented to her Majesty, praying that, before recommending this House to grant any further sums of public money towards Church Ex tension, her Majesty would be graciously pleased to take into consideration the rich and valuable endowments which are al ready possessed by the Established Church of England and Wales, as well as the large sums of public money which have been granted for Church Extension since the year 1809. " That her Majesty , Will be graciously pleased to consider that, in the opinion of a large portion of the people in England, the present revenues of the Church, if wisely administered, are amply sufficient to provide religious worship and instruction for that portion of her Majesty's subjects belonging to the Established Church of this kingdom."—The Sun, No. 14,833, Friday, May 22, 1840. " We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Deist,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii., v.. 22, is a gross mistransla tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It. is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in dii ect opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole book, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821. To CORILESPONDENTS.—" The Bible.—We have been so earnestly exhorted to persevere in opening our Paper to the dis cussion of the merits of the New Translation, as a question of the utmo t importance to the interests of mankind, that we feel it to be our duty to comply. Our Correspondents, therefore, shall be attended to in turn, as we have reason to believe that the Heads of the Church have already directed their attention to the - controversy."—The Sun, London, Saturday, Dec. 5, 1818. "Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example and incitement. Shall the Bible, with its many acknowledged errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors ; er shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind, with as much of its original purity as it is possible for human sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm.

Part 3d in 1821, containing from Numbers to Deuteronomy. By John Bellamy. SPECIMEN OF EMENDATION. Authorised Version, Deuteronomy, chap. 14, v. 22 :—" Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed." "It is a well-known maxim of English law, suggested by common sense, and recognised by every principle of justice, 1 o infer, that the long and uninterrupted enjoyment of a civil right must have originated in a regular grant from the original owner, although no express evidence can be produced of ex istence of such conveyance." On Tithes.—Quarterly Review, No. 53. New Translation:-" A tenth thou shalt tenth, of all the increase of thy seed." Note—Onkelos, the most eminent of all the learned Rabbis, who lived before the dispersion of the Hebrews, and consequently made the translation of the Sacred Volume into Chaldee at the period when tiie Hebrew was a national language., thus translates the clause—Cnasaara tignsarah, " a tenth thou shalt tenth," which is the same as the Hebrew. The Septuagint 3Excen./ 0c7:i0E.Y.2:-WerEl (both Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The learned Selden, Le Clere, and other great authorities on tithes, say—" It is not likely that the Levites should•have had a tenth of the whole produce of the land, because the number of the tribe of Levi, compared with the numbers of the other tribes, was so trifling. Neither could it be of al the produce of the land, but of the increase of the seed ; as it is truly said in the common version : for the increase must necessarily have been that part of the produce after the seed employed to give the increase, had been returned to the greeter out of the gross produce ; otherwise it could not have been said it was the " in crease of the seed." " When the harvest had been ended, sod all gathered, then the husbandman laid aside his great themma, otherwise called the first fruits of his threshing floore, of which it bath beene spoken in chapter on first fruits; which, though it were one of ten, in respect of that portion which the Levites received, yet it was but ene of a hundred in respect of the husbandman's stocke, who payed the Levites ; the Levites payed a tenth por tion unto the Priests ; this they termed Magnasher min-ham-' magnasher, the tithe of the tithes, Nell. x. 38. The Pharisees would pay a tenth, Mat. xxiii. 23; and hence it is that they boasted, They gave tithes of all that they possessed, Luke xviii. 12."—Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites, used by the ancient Hebrews.

(.4 I, Ethclwulpli, by the grace of God, &c., have, for the ealth of my soul, and good of my people, taken the prudent resolution of granting the tenth partof all the lands throughout my whole kingdom to the Church and Ministers of Religion, &c. &c.—Dated the Palace at Wilton, in the year 854, Indic tion the second, at the Feast of Eaker." . The terms, date, and subscription of the Charter, have in,. duced several learned men to belieVe it spurious. But without entering into the controversy, I shall content myself with ob serving, that long before this Charter the Clergy of England claimed a right to the Tithes, if they were not already in actual possession of them. This is evident from the 17th Canon of the Council of Calcnith, held its 785, where we find they urged the payment of Tithes from the Law of Moses. If this Chaa ter, therefore, is not to be considered a forgery, it seem at least to be of very doubtful authority. Add to this, that by the tcnt.h part of the lands must necessarily be meant the tenth part of the profits; which must be owned to be a very forced interpretation, especially in a primordial Act such as this."— Page 11 1, Rapin's History of. England. " The plan which I have to unfold may at first appear start ling, . . . to introduce within the Christian Church. It may appear to encroach by those who have strenuously ad vocated the sacredness of the clergy's income, and entered their decided prOtest acraiest any reform being necessary, as re lating to ecclesiastical kairs."—Espilon Theta. "The King, Henry the Fourth. representing to the Parlia ment his great want of an extraordinary aid, the Commons went in a body and addressed him, ' That wititout bUrdening his people he might supply his occasions by seizing the revenue of the clergy.' Ihe Archbishop of Canterbury resisted—the Commons brought in a Bill to seize the clergy's revenues— the solicitations of the Archbishop were so prevalent With the Lords, that they threw out the Bill, so the Commons were forced to find other means to supply the King's occasions; the clergy granted a.tenth and a-half."—Page 495. '• The Commons, willing to comply with the King's ( Henry V.) demand of a subsidy, presented an address, praying him to seize the clergy's revenues. The clergy perceiving their ruin inevitable, came to the resolution to resign a part of their riches to the King in order to save the rest."—Page 309, 1-lapin's History of England.

" No mention, Bishop Barlow observes, is made of tithes in the grand codes of canons, ending in the year of our Lord 457, (which, next to the Bibl he considers as the most au• thent(e book in the world). During all that period, there fore, both the clergy and the Church appear to have been sup ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious.";—See Selden on Tithes, an Barb. Rem. 169. " Tithes, from the Saxon word Teoda, which signifies the tenth part of a thing, may be defined to be the tenth part of the increase yearly, arising and renewing from the profits of land, the stock upon lands, and the personal industry of the in habitants."--2 Black. Corn. 24. From the above readings the following scale is deducible : Allowing agricultural product to realise thirty per cent., which is absolute—tithe impost to be included—and increase being considered synonymous with produce—a tenth is 131. per cent. Here we must observe we think the imposition of three half pence in every shilling quarte"n loaf a severe infliction for our spiritual edification. Albeit it would almost pass without a murmur, but that our hallowed Faith enjoins us " To feed the hungry"—and its denunciations are upon those who are unmind ful of " the child of misery bal.tised in tears."

He could not go quite the length of his Noble Friend, and be lieved that ultimately the question must come under the con sideration of Parliament."—(Hear, hear. )—See Morning Herald, June 20, 1823. There is the recorded vote of the House of Commons to 10 per cent. property or income tax ! being oppressive. Under the operation of the property tax an esquire whose principal of 10,0001. netted him 500/. per annum, paid to the State 50/., under the operation of the tithe composition, an outlay of 5001. subjects the cultivator to the samesol. ; this, in ff tpoendon incomeccommenced in t tax n w c a e s d n p an sy b ov eg po in s n it l i ti o g n deed, is " th' oppressors wrongs." 0 " The alarm excited by announcing PrOlifisea ctintintiante td y o t r i. er s tt ii e t i i r t r p ti a ia ment, on Feb. 8, two petitions igAlest tjio lax, one from the Lord Mayor, Alderman, ah'd Oolnmon Council, the other from the Lord Mayor and Liverymen b°',ll - expressed in strmg lan guage, re s p eo ti ng the ( r.'iMus ? and inquisitorial,f ti nature te tax. The Min;• ' to mat acre and their aerents increased their efforts - ' - • it appear that the opposition te the tax was fastened oy popular clamour and party manoeuvres. This attempt re ceived a final defeat by a petition, presented en March 18, by Sir William Curtis, from the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London. The number of signatures was 22,000. March the 18th the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the continuance of the obnoxious tax several other speakers fol lowed on each side. At length every voice was drowned in the cry of question, - and the House divided, when the numbers were, for the continuance of the tax; 201, against it 238, majority 37. When the result was announced, a long and loud cheering arose in the House, which was re-echoed by the crowd that filled the lobby anti avenues, and the event was felt throughout the na tion at a relief from an oppressive burden."—Annual Register for 1816. " It has been presumptuous," so we read in the pithy Examiner, No. 780, " to dabble in chemistry ; to look through a telescope; to inoculate for the small-pox ; to abate the viru lence of a pestilential disorder by the salutary assistance of a cow; lastly, and we trust the argument will be deemed con clusive—to read the Bible. And in what has all this pre sumption generally consisted? In the .anxiety of some men to knqw more than it was convenient for other men they should know. The moment the daring inquirer discovered a truth— a truth !—which threatened to militate against a profitable system of error, then the' awful secrets' were, invaded—the ark of the sanctuary' disturbed. Any. Barabbas of the day was milk-white compared with the daring offender : in a word, away with him.' Could great men thunder, says Shaks peare, ' there would be nothing but thunder.'

It is new more than thirty years since the eminent linguist Bellamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of the highest literary character in the country, the "Classical Journal ;" it is twenty. two years since we became adherents to his promulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the Exam'ner, and the Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental Despots," we rather say Sovereigns of Europe, or "the cruel and faithless bigot," and it may go to assuage the acerbity of vituperations against them, when one whose purport was and is " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled injustice from the press of England.—We hope this will not be overlooked by the Germanic Diet on the regulations of the Press. " What complaint does the bulk of the people make of the Legislature ? It is charged, in the case of the Corn-laws— openly and distinctly charged, with inflicting hunger, disease, and death on large portions of the community to enrich its members. It cuts down the population, as Lord Ashburton affirms. It curtails Ike supply of food, it limits the demand for and the wages of labour. It plunders the working-cla.•ses to put wealth in the pockets of the Aristocracy. All these things are the very reverse of its duties. It holds power to cherish and nroteet the people, and is highly criminal if it shorten a life unnecessarily one day, or misappropriate one stick of the property of the obedient people."—The Sun, No. 14,869.

Our conviction that the Corn-law is a most iniquitous impost is strengthened by what has occurred in the House of Commons. We believe that to preserve such an impost for any length of time is kevond the power of the House of Com mons. The debate and the division of Tuesday may help the degradation and destruction of the Parliament, but they can neither alter the public opinion of the nature of the law, nor maintain it in opposition to the public conviction."—The Sun, May 28, 1840.

POPAII3A.—Upon reviewing the catalogue of produted by Copaiba, it may be fairly asked is there ally one possessed of common prudence who would employ it? Can any unprejudiced and conscientious person advise its use ? Are we "to do harm that good may come ?" any more in physic than in morality, when too the former is certain, and the attee more than doubtful —for we must not forget that Copaiba is Its uncertain as it is injurious—at one time appearing to sud denly check and overcome the disease, and at another entirely failing in producing either. It is also deceptive as regards the permanency of the desired effect. The patient frequently re joicing in hit supposed recovery, and in a few days, or even hours, is sadly disappointed by the return of his complaint with renewed or increased virulence—the symptoms being much ag- ' gravated by the consequent loss of time and the unequal action of the medicine. It is now clearly the duty of the medical profession to avoid and reprobate the use of a drug which has so little to justify its administration, and so much to condemn it. If such baneful effects as described are to be attributed to the pure Balsam of Copailr, it can be readily imagined how much they are aggravated by the adulterations daily practised, being mixed with more or less of turpentine, mastiche, rejected castor and rape ails, &c., &c. It is to the uniniated perfectly astonishing to what an extent this disgracefel practice is carried, more especially since the nostrums formed from it have so mach increased. It is frequently to be purchased in this state at retail druggists for less than the cost price of the genuine article—a strong proof that such must be factitious—indeed it is a fact that this natural production of South America is actually made in England. Not many years since the Sun Fire Office refused to indemnify a party for loss by fire, on the ground that the premises had been used for hazardous purposes, not expressed in the policy, namely, that of making Copaiba. Such being the fact of the drug itself, the argument will, of course, apply with more Of !Vas force to all preparations of or from it, for so powerful are its injurious properties, and so closely ere they connected with those (it' any) of a beneficial tendency, that. to abate the one is to annihilate the other. As existing in nature, they are allied ; and by such nicety of chemical I union, that to separate them is (by destroying the original prin ciple of combination)—to produce a most unhappy result, namely, an inert substance, and one still more acrid than the drug in its natural state 1 one of these is produced when de proved, dr partially so, of its nauseous flavour ; to deprive it of which is to separate the edit() principle, and thus destroy all Chance of success from itt use. Now, how is this known result attempted to be atoided? By incurring a still greater evil-- that Of combieing it equally injurious, though more pala table, drugs, as Spanish flies, ptifiteho stiniulatiog gums, &c., by which the original disease i s greatly aggrateted and pro , longed. In concusion—avoid, at all times, and under all die• guises, this pernicious and ev e r-adulterated drug ; suffer not any one to persuade you to its use ; withhold from your confi dence the professional man who persists, contrary to reason and experience, in prescribing it for you— for, be assured, sooner or later, more or less, you *lll seer from its baneful influence. The Balsamic Pills, prepared by Mr. Wray § 344, Strand, and Holborn-hill, are free from any of the above objections they act specifically on the urinary passages, and, from their tunic properties, tend to strengthen the system and improve the general health, They require neither confinement nor al teration of diet (except abstinence from stimulants, where considerable inflammation exists), and, as experience has rmply proved, they will effect a cure sooner than copaiba (the dangerous results of which, in the inflammatory stages, are• too well known to need further comment), or any other me dicine in present use, and may be justly considered the only safe and efficacious remedy in all stages of those disorders. In addition to these advantages, the very convenient form in which this invaluable preparation is effered to the public must also be considered a desideratum. Prepared only by M. 0.

INCREASED PREVALENCE OF SMALL PDX IN THE METROPOLIS. A circular letter, of which the following is a copy, was yesterday sent by the Poor-law Commissioners to the Hoards of Guardians of the Unions in those districts of the metropolis where small-pox is now unusually prevalent "Poor- Law Commission-office, Somerset-house, Jan. 19, 1841. " EXTENSION OF VACCINATION. " Sir—The Poor-law Commissioners deem it right to call the special attention of the Guardians to the preva lence of small-pox in the metropolis, as exhibited in the weekly returns of the mortal;ty, and in the number of cases which are sent to the Small-pox Hospital. " The Commissioners are informed by Dr. Gregory, tbe physician of that establishment, that the number of cases sent to the Small-pox Hospital is so great that the este bl ailment will soon be filled, and that it may shortly be ne cessary to provide wards in the union houses for the recep tion and appropriate treatment of such cases. The Commissioners are informed that nearly the pester proportion of the persons received into the Smallapos Hospital are (in the proportion shown in the annexed return) adults, who have not received the protec tion of vaccination. " The Commissioners feel assured this announcement will be sufficient to induce the Board of Guardians to await themselves to the utmost extent, of the powers placed al their disposal by the Vaccination Extension Act, and of the influence which they possess, in order to arrest the pro gress of this fatal disease. " They would recommend the Board of Guardians to confer with the vaccinators on the subject without loss of time, to ascertain from them-1. Whether the measures for vaccination already adopted in compliance with the Commissioners' instructional letter of the 20th day of August, 1840, and the recommendations and orders sub sequently issued, are sufficient to meet the present emer gency. 2. Whether the inhabitants of the Union avail themselves of the opportunities afforded to them, or whe ther any means can be suggested of removing their objec tions (if such exist), or of stimulating their apathy. " The Commissioners would recommend that, at all events, a fresh notification of the times and places ~Nf at• tendance, in large characters (and that in case the in crease of small- pox shoull have extended to the Union, the notification should be headed ' Increase of small pox in the parish of should be placed in conspicuous places in the Union, and it should be particu larly stated therein that the arrangements are not confined to children. only, but are also intended for the benefit of adults. 4"rhe Commissioners would also suggest for the consi deration of the Guardians and the vaccinators, whether, under existing circumstances, it might be expedient fur the vaccinators to visit from house to house in their several districts, and thus to bring to the honks of the inhabitants the means of vaccination. . . " Under ordinary circumstances, the Commissioners would hesitate to recommend such an arrangement; but feeling that On the present occasion, by energy and promp titude on the part of the Guardians and the vaccinators, the progress of the small-pox may be arrested, and its at tacks rendered comparatively innocuous, the Commission ers think it well worthy the consideration of the Guardians. " The Commissioners think, moreover, that if the extra exertions of the vaccinators should require further remu. neration the Guardians would be perfectly justified in giving it. The Commissioners are desirous that, in order that no time may be lost, you would, if possible, request the vac cinators to be in attendance to-morrow at the meeting of the Board of Guardians, in older that they may be at hand when you lay this communication before the Guardians. " The Commissioners also wish that you will not fail to apprise the Guardians of any facts relating to the spread of small-pox which may come to your knowledge as Su perintendent-Registrar, and that, in addition to other steps and precautions which may be decided on, you would your self inform the ♦accinators of any particular parts of the Union in which you may have ascertained the small-pox to be prevalent, and that you will specially call the attention of the resident in those parts of the Union, by hand-bills. or by the agency of the Relieving-officer, to the measures provided for vaccination. " By order of the Board, (S'gned) ' "E. CHADWICK, Sec. " The Clerk to the Guardians of the Union."

On their application to impairtel vision their effects are both delightful and instantaneous conveying at once a refreshing coolness to the Eye, and rendering the most minute objects perfectly distinct, eithe by day or candle-light ; in short, their superior poweis, and freedom from the injurious properties of glasses ord'- narily sold, have secured for them the powerful recom mendation of Sir B.

Thaw had then com menced, and about mid-day on Saturday the ice-bound river and ponds in our neighbourhood, and the clotted streets and snow-clad house-tops, presented unequivocal symptoms that it was continuous and rapid in its effects. Apprehensions were entertained that, in the event of an overflowing of the river, the lower parts of the city about Bridgegate and Stockwell-streets,'would be in dame, r from the flood ; and just fears were also enter tained for the safety of the shipping in the harbour. Prudential measures were therefore adopted by the parties interested to prevent such disratrous con sequences ; itnd it is well that it was so ; as On Sabb,ith a catastrophe happened which might otherwise have occasioned the destruction of property amongst the slopping in the harbour to the extent of many thousands of pounds. The thick bed of ice upon the river above the navigable part had given way to the rapid thaw, and there hAving been several heavy showers of rain on Saturday night, a spate was occasioned, with which; during the early part of Sunday, the bread fragments of ice floated down at a moderate velocity. But the broken misses accumulated so fast, rolling down with impetuous violence, that in the course of the afternoon a surface was formed from Rutherglen Bridge to the foot of the Steam-boat Quay, rugged in its appearance, from the varied shapes and different positions which the pent-up body of ice assumed, but as solid in its structure as if it has been made by tle• 'iest mechanical skill to last for ages. From the c-a,.irrued accumulation large bodies would rise to the lie a ht of several feet, and Frush against each other with ;it. impetuosity, but the pres sure below, from the I; slges to the mouth, of the har bour, was so great ;Is to fortn an impassible barr;er. while the ,dark surge rolled below as obscurely as if it had been tunnelled over. The scene was one calcu lated to create uneasy feelings ; lint even in its most dangerous aspect there was magnificence, and many thousands were attacted to the banks of the river and the bridges to gaze with wonder on a sight so unusual in this part of the world. Some looked with deep con cernment on the scene, while others, giving full scope to their ideas of the sublime, fancied they saw in embryo the glaciers of the Alps, or the wonders of the Tyrol. It belonged to another class not to remain idle spectators—these were the toasters and crews of vessels in the port, and the workmen of the River Trust, the latter of whom had spent a sleepless and laborious night in making precautionary arrangements, and were at their posts at an early hour in the morning with Mr. Bald, engineer of the trust, Captain Johnstone, harbour -master, and Mr. Russell, superintendent of the river police, giving such directions as to the proper mooring and secure fastening of the vessels as were necessary on the occasion. All the ships had chains out that possessed them, and others had double hawsers and strong hempen cables. The straining on the vessels was dreadful, and in some cases both chain and hempen cable were out, while the anchor was thrown overboard. The foresight of these shipmasters saved them ; but despite every effort, four vessels went adrift, viz. the Earl Grey, the Mary Queen of Scots, the Carl Johan steamers, and a schooner. The Carl Johann went down to Govan ; the schooner to the Saw Mills, a little below that ; the Queen of Scots and the Earl Grey went nearly to Renfrew ; but they were all brought up without damage. About an hour and a half, from four o'clock till near six, sufficed to clear the river of the ice, which tumbled over the wear at the rate of some thousand tons an hour, boiling and raging in its course. Before the breaking up a fool-hardy fellow, be longing to a Cheshire vessel, went on to the ice, and jumped "Jim Crow" amongst the messes, to the imminent peril of his life ; but he was wiled ashore, and deposited under the care of Mr. Russell, in the Police Buildings, for fear he would harm himself, and two boys who followed his example, were placed in the same durance till the spate ended. On the whole, great credit is due to Mr. Bald, Mr. Johnstone, the harbour-master, and Mr. Russell, police, for their exertions on the occasion, which we think deserving the especial notice of the river trus tees. Yesterday morning frost again set in, and con tinued, though at a moderate intensity, throughout the day. A large accumulation of the broken ice remained a little below the Glasgow-bridge, extending from the north quay about half-way across, and several hundred yards down the harbour. One of the tug steamers, which had been so useful the day previously, was em ployed in clearing it away, but the work was proceeded in with considerable difficulty from the renewal of the frost. PROPOSED BRIDGE, OR TUNNEL, FROM DOVER TO CALAIS. A Havre journal gives the following account of a project announced in that town :--An Englishman, de scribing himself to be an engineer, recently arrived at Havre, has been to Paris to propose the plan of a passage by land from Dover to Calois. The inventor has given the following account of his gigantic plan to many of the inhabitants of Havre :—M. VV. Cap pia (the inventor) proposes to place twenty thousand piers of stone across the straits, which are to be laid at the bottom of the sea. These are intended to form the foundation of a moastrous bridge seven leagues in length. A plan of this has been enuraved in London, and will be' publicly e•ihibited in Paris. According to the :;.inventor's account, he gives the soundings of the straits with great exactness, and the various depths of the sea along this extensive line. The estimated expense or this bridge is not to exceed 1,800 millions of francs. Though the plan of cones or piers in imitation of the dike at Cherbourg may appear ridiculous, M. W. Coppitt is an ingenious man ; and his determination being that England shall be united with the Continent, he has another project to effect it. His plan, number 2, is this :—lt is not to travel above the surface of the water, hut underneath it, neverthe less on dry ansl firm ground. In order to accomplish this, M. W. Coppitt proposes to fix a series of tunnels made of cast iron, three feet in thickness, and eighteon feet diameter inside. The first of these tunnels, which is to serve as its entrance, is to be placed at Dover, and the last to terminate at Calais, after following the undulations of the submarine ground. " This plan is simple," modestly says the inventor ; and the execution of it is so easy, that I dare not claim any merit for the discovery, You will understand," he adds, " that if your countryman, M. Brunel, had thought of this plan, instead of excavating with so much difficulty through a soil of sand at the risk of a thousand acci dents, he would have laid down long iron pipes from one bank of the Thames to the other, by the adop tion of this method, with a saving of twenty millions of francs in money, and ten years of labour." M. W s Coppitt thinks that this metal tunnel from Dover to Calais would not cost more than 1,000 millions of francs, half of which he proposes should be contributed by France, and the other half by England. -e / FOGS AND DAMP AIR.

(PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) For many years the fabricating of Passover cakes in this country has bean entirely monopolised by only a few bakers, who have charged the most exorbitant prices for this necessary article of food, which is so strictly observed by all classes of the children of Israel during their grand festival, which commences on the Gth of April, when they are solemnly forbidden to eat any other than unleavened bread. This high charge has been the means of precluding the greater part of the poorer Hebrews from obtaining it, and faithfully observing this religious restriction, unless they undergo the painful feeling of applying to their several congre gations. A society of the most influential of the Jews, patro nized by the Rev. Solomon Hirschell, their High Priest, and the chief rabbis, have formed themselves into an association, which has been enrolled pursuant to Act of Parliament of 4 and 5 William IV., c. 40, under the title of " the Jewish National Friendly As sociation," the object of which is to do away with the monopoly that has hitherto existed, by manufacturing the Passover Bread on the most economical terms, and to supply the members with it at the lowest possible price ; so as to enable thousands of the poorer classes throughout the United Kingdom, and thei r famil i es, not to be driven to appeal to their inure affluent brethren for the stall of life. Extensive premises have been taken at 109, Gravel-lane, floundsdi teh, for this purpose, which have lately been visited dail y by s e veral leading membets of the Church of England, Dissenters, and Catholics, who have been allowed, through the polite ness of the President, Mr. Lazarus, to witness the whole minutiaein the making of the Passover Cake, which passes through more than twenty hands before it is ready for delivery ; arid. !i t the same time, to •con vince the public that is not psed by the Jews in its fabrication, as has b on erroneously stated by diffc.

The principle obstacles to the establishment of one Bank of Issue are thus enumerated by Mr. Gilbart : " We think the country Batiks of Issue will have no difficulty in showing that numerous issuers are a check upon each other by the system of exchanges, which can not apply to a single issuer—that, were there a single issuer, there would be no greater security against undue fluctuations in the amount of currency than in the case of numerous issuersthat a currency conducted on a • principle of being regulated by the foreign exchanges is wholly unsuitable to our agricultural, manufacturing, and mining operations—that a currency administered by one Bank of. Issue could not be distributed as present, in a manner adapted to the local circumstances and dis tricts of the country—that the assistance [JON given to trade and industry by country b takers would h, much curtailed or attended with heavier chemges to the parties, operating- as a tax upon the middle cas,:es of the com munity—and that in some districts hmiks, or brant:hes of banks, would be discontinued from inability to pay their expenses in case they had no longe7- the profit upon the issue of notes, and those districts wend thus h:! deprived of all banking accommodation. It may also be maintained that a sole Bank of Issue would soon become more powerful than the Government, and might be abased to the worst purposes of either tyranny Li fiction." The political evils that may result from a sole 13,mk of Issue have been too much overlookod. ‘Vere th , whole currency issued by a Government hank, or by bank closely connecte d with the Goveroment, a foreign power , by get tinu - possttssion of our notes. pes.,l!z- ,zi - nuuei , when t;.1, , tao:r enemies ouid hr` S:ttlti'' _ (pored e Or night ut;t a politic . ll party -atteipp• tx -,, eT „ „ barrass the Government by making' a run of gold? This . would be no new event. A run for gold on,the Irish banks took (dace in 1831, when the Government com menced a ProseCution against Mr. O'Connell and another in 1833, during the passing of Earl Grey's Co ercion Bill. A run was mine on the Bank of England in 1832, during the passing of the Reform Bill ; and large sums were drawn in gold from the Savings Banks: in 1838 by the Chartists, actuated solely by political motives. A cntraction of the currency oceasioned. 4 l4y these means would admit of DO remedy, for it is a part of the system that the bank shall issue no notes except upon a deposit.of void. Another evil would be, that whenever distress was produced by a contraction of the currency, it would be ascribed directly to the GoVern ment, and hence would ensue popular discontent and insubordination. Sir Robert Peel seemed alive to these dangers. He wished to ascertain if Mr. Loyd weic friendly to a Government currency, convertible into gold upon demand. Mr. Loyd answered with his usual wariness. Sir Robert was baffled, and gave up the pm suit.—lficsbnitzster Review. THE STATE UHURCH. TO THE• EDITOR OF THE SUN, Silt,—Knowing the strong tight in wine!) you justly view the arrogant assumptions of the EeclesiaAiCa. Es tablishment of England, I am induced to address you a few lines on the subject. I believe there is no nuisance which the people of these countries are more called upon, as a duty to bot►a God and man, to get rid of than what calls itself the Church of England. But, Sir, this nuisance is not to be abated merely by getting rid of the Bishops in the House of Lords ; nor will it be sufficient to abolish the Ecclesiastical Courts, which exercise a tyrannical and arrogant authority, in the name of a sect, over those Englishmen who diselaitn and disdain its communion. No, Sir, the ramifications of this iniquity are spread all over the land. Thus the Parish Minister, being Chairman of all Vestry meetings composed of persons of all reli gious denominations, gives of necessity a rank to the sect to which he belongs, while it attaches to himself a po litical weight and influencr that is incalculable. Let then the Bishops be sent out of the House of Lords. Let the Ecclesiastical Courts be abolished. Let the Ministers of the Moloch or King-Supreme Head of the Church Heresy be thrown for support upon the resources of their own flocks, and let the parochial divisions which were borrowed from the Church be changed into territorial communes which shall choose annually a chairman, and then the different sects will be placed on an equality. Another point which I would allude to is the Prero• gative Courts, wherein the pr T ony of the country as disposed of by will, passes as it v •-e through the hands of Dr. Tooley, who is ignorantly made to call every exe cutor or administrator who takes out letters of adminis tration, he he Jew, Infidel, or Mahommedan, " his beloved Son." All these monstrosities had in deed their origin in the Church, as according to the primitive principle of community of goods, no Chri!tian was supposed to keep back from the Christian Voluntary Association any portion of h►s worldly goods. It was usuai, however, for him to de elate his wish or will how they should be disposed of, and the Bishop, in a friendly manner, took care 1,0 have such wish or will carried into eff,ct. This might answer II very wi•II for their own community, but what has• it to say to the devising of the effects of the whole people of a nation? Such a tyranny, Sir, is intolerable, and should long since have been swept away in England as it was in Scotbnd, where they substituted the Com missary for the Ecclesiastical Courts. Let me add one further advantage in doing away with il3e ecclesiastical estAlisliments, namely, that this would promote the complete amalgamation of the people, as it is, no doubt, a great close of disunion to have two different establishmnits at either side of the Tweed, and en anomalous buyenet-upheld Ecclesiasti cal Establishment at the other side of the Channel, which is very ji;stly represented as one of the grievances of the Irish people, and to get rii of which I would heartily join in a repeal, if no other way could be found for• accomplishing it. am, Sr.A your obedient servant, WILLIAM VILLIERS SANKEY. KA CENG. The weather certainly does riot indicate theapproach of the raeing season, 1841: the last numbereff the old sheet Calendar, containing the a eights fixed for the first great handicap (the Oatlands, with the addition of 100 added), to accept on Monday week, locks more like business. It is a complicated question, whether it be advantageous to sport to require the acceptances to be signifieu so long as eleven weeks before the race. I think that one fortnight is ample time to elapse between. the deciaration of the acceptances and the race for Ltta the ;re at itqndicaps in the kingdom. Horses only would be then named that were fit., and probably fifteen out of twenty ‘could start for their money ; horses would not so frequently be left to bet againa ; horses would not so often be drawn or start for the sole purpose of getting more favourable weight sni a future occasion. While on the subject, although too late to take effect this year, the conditions of nearly all the great handl.- caps hat leg been published, I would again suggest to the Jockey Club the proprisly of dividing the handi caps into two classes where the subscribers number one hundred. No weight will make a race between Het man Platoff and Pluto ; no weight will make a race between Lanercost and Bandboy. Calypso gave the latter two years and near two stone, and beat him a hundred yards across the fiat. Would Bandboy turned loose ca , ch Lanercost with ten stone on his back, Goodwood Cup course ? No. Then how can any handicapper match them ? The, classification of' the horses should he left entirely at the discretion of those gentlemen kind enough to undertake the no very envious task of handicapping. We should have two better races at Goodwood than we have ever yet had one. Second-rate horses make quite as much sport as clip pers, and, if I mistake not, while 9st. 71h. was the top weight, Cs!. 71h. (perhaps 7st.) might be the lightest. There would not be then the difficulty of procuring riders, and we should not see horses of a year r unning at three or four stone difference of weight. There is something unsportsmanlike in the very n otion. • Tee following is i correct summary of the bettirg to 1:1ai k? the present.time :—One horse only has been untie: f to ; nine more have been at 20 to 1 (taken freely „ six have been quoted bet ween this and 25 to 1 ; fr,„ this to 33 to 1, fourteen: n en) eleven at 50 to ;at greater odds, twenty-three ; tole, tae seventy-three. el c 4 e O r t a o s 30rsi Jan.
