" The King who was resolved to follow the example of other Christian Princes, who, in the commencement of their reigns, usually took the first course for the establishing of the Church, both for doctrine and polity, issued out his proclamations, whereby he appointed several Bishops and Deans, together with the Principals of those who had presented this petition to the King, to attend on him at his palace at Hampton-court, on January 12, 1603, there to confer with his Majesty about these abuses and corruptions of which he had received such complaints." " On the second day of this conference, Dr. Reynolds, who was the foreman and speaker of the Puritans, moved his Majesty that there might be a new translation of the Bible, because, as he said, those which were allowed in the reigns of Henry VIII. and Edward VI., were corrupt, and not unswerable to the truth of the original."—Page 310. " Messieurs de Beausobre and L'lnfant, Ministers of the French Church at Berlin, represented to the late King of Prussia, that the French translations of the Bible began to be neither so intelligible nor agreeable to be read as they were at first, and that therefore to be edified by them required that they should be revised, or a new translation made. On which that Prince pitched on them for this purpose, and by his Royal Decree appointed them to make a new translation."—P. 372.

WESTMINSTER COURT OF Sir PETER LAURIE —That shows the value of never having acted dishonestly. 'Committed to Bridewell. A butcher named Young was summoned by a person named M'Carthy, for having sold a l eg o f mutton which upon being boiled proved to be very f ar gone . The complainant said that bet ween n i ne an d ten o'clock on Saturday night he purchased a leg of mutton of the defendant at bid. per pound. Witness had asked a lady to dine with him on the Sunday, but when the mutton was taken out of the pot in which it had been boiled the room in which it was cooked could no longer be endured. Of course, to eat mutton in a state of de composition was quite out of the question. Sir PETER LAURIE—It was extraordinary that you did not find out that it was not fit to be eaten before you boiled it. Complainant—They have a way of rubbing the fut of newly killed sheep over decayed mutton a n d l amb , and it is quite impossible to judge from the appearance whether what you buy is sweet or not. Sir PETER LAURIE—I should think that the nose is rather an important organ on such an occasion. The Complainant proceeded as if he thought, that the nose had very little to do with a joint until the meat was boiled. The public upon whose account es pecially he came forward were, he said, in the habit of being greatly imposed upon by this system of rubbing the new grease into the stale article, and he was de termined to expose it. He called on Monday upon the butcher, and expostulated with him, but no attention was paid to the complaint. _ _ LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAIL WAY. TENDERS FOR LOANS.

For the purpose of supplying the Metropolis with coals equ al, and in some respects superior, to the best " Wallsend, ' a Company has been formed who have contracted for the purchase of the Dilhorne Colliery, with its engines and machinery, and the fee simple of a large tract of adjoining mineral land, abound ing in coal and iron, situate in the Northern Division of the County of Stafford. Arrangements have been made with the different Canal Proprietors for the transit of the Coal at reduced rates of tonnage; and the Company will be enabled to deliver to their Shareholders in London, at all seasons of the year, the very best quality of Coals at 225. 6d. per ton, leaving an ample return for the Capital embarked.

At the same time, the new translation of the Bible being presented to him, he ordered 1,500 copies to be printed, being satisfied that nothing would be found there to support the exhorbitant power assumed by the Pope over all Christendom.

On the contrary, it was well known that the opinions of the Reformers who brought about the Reformation in the Church were entirely opposed to the University of 04 i4d. It was well known, that if the opinions of that Unive tasty had been adhered to, the Protestant religion would nezior have been established. The opinions of Lucke were opposed to those of the University; and if their opinions only were to be consulted, everything liberal, noble, and ingenuous in our institutions would never have been established."—Viscount Melbourne's Speech in the _House of Lords, on the debate on the Errl of Radnor's motion respecting the U n iversities of Oxford and Cambridge.—The Morning Herald, Friday, Dec. 22, 1837. "We observe in a pamphlet, Anti-Deist,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, e. 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 direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole took, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821. " Mr. Bellamy, in a very conclusive performance, the Anti- Deist, does not attempt to parry the weapon, so much as to disarm the hand that wields it ; for he does not explain away the objections that have been advanced by the Deist, but he labours rather to extirpate them, and to show that they have no other root but misconception or mistake. Should this author's emendations turn out correct, they should be adopted, as no time and no authority can consecrate error. Mr. Bellamy has met with patronage in the very highest quarter—a patronage liberal in every sense of the word; and as honourable to the patron as the author." " His alterations, I admit, are extremely numerous, im portant, and consequential, but they are supported by a mass of erudition, authority, and argument, that does indeed demand our most serious attention, and many in common with myself, will lament that they have drank more freely at the stream, than at the fountain." " We hail the march of intellect, because we know—that a reason tiat is cultivated, is the best support of a worship that is pure. It is for thos- who thrive by the darkness to hurl their anethemas against the diffusion of light ; but wisdom, like a pure and bright conductor, can render harmless the brutum fulmen' of the Vatican."—Lacon, C. C. Colton. 66 I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision of the Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought to be laid, as anticipat ing a closer approximation in sentiment among all denomina tions of Christians now at variance with each other, upon cer tain disputed points of doctrine—under this impression, I think all must subscribe to its importance."—Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824. " We may be sure that sufficient care has been taken that the Holy Scriptures should contain nothing unsuitable to the character or dignity of God, and that God should say nothing of himself which should derogate from his own Majesty."— Milton's Posthumous Treatise. " Mr. Carlisle then read the names of several of the sub scribers, beginning with the Prince Regent, who at first sub scribed only for five copies; but, pleased with the specimens of the translations forwarded to him by the gentleman in ques tion, had increased that number to fifty. This a necdote he had 'from Mr. Bellamy himself, who was intimately acquainted with Dr. Clarke, the Prince's librarian. Here Mr. Carlisle iterated his argument, arising from the discrepancy of the two translations, and the consequent fallibility, at least, of one version."

" Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example and incitement.

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 that period when the Hebrew was a national language, he thus translates the clause—gnasaara tignsarah, " a tenth thou shalt tenth," which is the same as the Hebrew. The Septuagint aExam: , ocarcioExa'rc.ea'Sf (both Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The learned Selden, Le Clerc, 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 all 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 grower out of the gross produce ; otherwise it could not have been said it was the " in crease of the seed." " When the harvest had beene ended, and 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 one 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 mim-ham magnasher, the tithe of the tithes, Neh. x. 38.

" I certainly, therefore, should have considered them as alto gether undeserving of a reply, had they not been employed as a vehigle of much illiberal personality, to which the writer has affected to give an additional weight, by ostentatiously an nouncing himself in his title-page, as Keeper of the Arch bishop of Canterbury's Records,' and by dating his preface from The Library, Lambeth Palace.'

" The charge of Socinianisnt is a mere stale hacknied trick of miserable controversialists, when they are reduced to the paltry shift of calling names, in the hope of thereby escaping from the effect of arguments,- which they are incapable of an swering. Does not he know that it was employed against Le Clerc? Did he never hear of a similar charge made against our immortal Locke ?

OLIVER, Reporter of Fashions, and ~• Teacher of Cutting Garments, from New York, most respectfully informs the Tailors of London, that he has visited this country with the view of publishing a Report of Fashions for the United States ; and, at the same time, OF FERS for SALE a SYSTEM of CUTTING, the most sim ple, correct, and better adapted for the use of the Trade, than has been invented in this or any other country, T. 0. intends on THURSDAY EVENING, Sept. 10, to give a LECTURE on MEASURING and DRAFTING of GARMENTS, at the LOWTHER ROOMS, King William street, Strand, when he will expose the folly of the breast mea sure system, as used in this country, and prove his system to be more correct. He will, at the same time, answer the fol lowing letter, signed" Q. in the Corner":— " Mr. Oliver. " Sir,-1 have been informed, that on the night that you delivered a Lecture on the System of Cutting, at the King's Head in Bear-street, you offered your 'system as one superior to any yet published in this or any other country ; and that you were willing to test it as such with the author of any other system now published or taught. As you did not state any amount you were willing to venture upon its superiority, I should be glad if you would mention the sum in the Lecture you propose to give at the same place this evening ; and as you wish your work to be subject to general criticism, I beg to sub mit to you the following quzstions : " First, having examined your draft, I contend that they will not self-vary to the shape of the customer as you have re presented. You have given a draft in your circular, wherein you represent three coats for three different shapes of the same breast measure ; those variations as laid down are correct; but 1 contend your rule will not give them correct, without the cutter exercising his judgment. For instance, it gives the crooked man too great a length from the front of the scye to the shoulder point, and the straight man not sufficient. It does not lengthen the back part of the shoulder for the ci ooked man, or shorten it for the straight man. These are very essential points ; and until your system remedie s those evils, it will not self-vary at the points you mention. I shall be glad if you will draft a coat for each of those shapes to -night. There are other points wherein your system does not appear to self-vary, as you set forth, and for which I wish you to draft two coats—one a short thick man, with a very low nec k, an d one the reverse. I also wish you to inform me by your sys tem, how you would find the back part of the shoulder point for a very high shouldered person % and one who droops very much. From the appearance of your drafts, I should say that your coat is too straight, and too long from the front o f th e sc y e to the top of the shoulder point ; will you show me h ow you establish that point as regards being too forward or too far back. You state that your method of bringing a coat in at the waist is always correct; will you explain to-night wherein it is more correct than the old mm thud of balancing a coat. " I am, Sir, respectfully, Q IN THE CORNER." " To Mr. Thos. Oliver." When I made the assertion alluded to, I did not, as I am opposed to betting, wish to bet money ; but if « Q " wilt call on me before Tuesday evening, I will make arrangements with him to test the merits of the system ; the same to be de cided before the meeting on Thursday evening . neat. On the former night of his meeting he made no c harge, but as the expense of the room is considerable, he must on this night charge Ono Shilling Admittance each person. The System of Cutting may be had at am-nes library, 19, Leicester-square. All letters addressed, T. Oliver, 19, Leicester -spate. COMMISSIONER—DO you admit this claim, Mr. Augustus Traughton ? Mr. Augustus Traughton (in a drawling tone)—No, certainly not ; I admit nothing. Let the woman a —a state her case. And Mr. Augustus Traughton played with his moustache, lifted his chin out of a silk stock in which he had suffered it to lie half buried, and looked round the Court with his vision 10 degrees above the vulgar horizon of the various plaintiffs and defen dants in attendance. " Let the woman state her case, and I'll see if there's a a—a anything worth re plying to. Where is the woman ?" turning round lei surely and giving an extra elevation to his nose, which nose was a perfect "bowsprit." " Bless my soul, Mr. Ma;jorum," said Dorothy, who had been "hanging on tenter hooks," while Mr. Augus tus Traughton had been addressing the Court. " Bless my soul, though you are so mighty sweet-scented, I'm worth half-a-dozen civil words from you night or morn ing. Pooh, pooh, don't turn up your nose at me ; mud's as good as mud all the world over !" COMMISSIONER—State your case, Mrs. Tones. Dorothy—So I will, sir. Woman indeed ! Mr. Bear's-grease (looking contemptuously:at . Mr. Augustus Traughton). . COMMISSIONER— Will you have the goodness, Mrs. Jones, to state the case ? Dorothy proceeded to do so. After informing the court that she kept a dairy of her own, and bad two cows, " a brindled and a voley one," she went on to relate that, early on the morning of the 31st ult., she had placed her milk pails against the New Church in the New-road, and had gone across the road for the purpose of letting down by a long string half a pint of cream, into the area of one of her customers, when she heard a very awful scream, as if coming from her pails. She immediately turned round, and to her astonishment and alarm she saw a man hard at work ducking the head of Mr. Augustus Traughton into one of her milk pails. It appeared that Augustus, being very thirsty from the previous night's debauch, bad found his way to the milk pail in question, into which, without asking " By your leave, Mrs. Dorothy ?" he had thrust his head, with the sober determination of having a draught of her sky-blue. Another " early" gentleman happened to be passing at the time Augustus was peer ing into the " milky way," and being, it is presumed, of mischief-loving mind, and judging that Augustus was about to commit a felony upon the milk, he straight- way soused him in over head and ears, and treated him in such a manner as to occasion the awful cries heard by Mrs. Jones, when she wes letting down the half-pint of cream into the area. This sousing, averred Mrs. Jones, had abstracted from Mr. Augustus Traughton's hair, mustachios, and whiskers a monstrous quantity of hog's lard, mutton fat, and oil, " a villainous com pound," which had rendered the entire pail of milk alto gether unfit for use. She now - claimed the value of the milk. COMMISSIONER (to defendant)—What have you to say why you should not pay for this milk ? Mr. Au gustus Traughton said it was preposterous to call upon him to pay for the milk—he had not spilt it, inasmuch as he did not souse his own head in the pail. C O MMISSIONER—You were committing an illegal act, and are responsible for any injury which that illegal act occasioned. And I take it that you were purloining Mrs. Jones's milk. Mr. Augustus Traughton—Purloining !—oh, no, quite different—quite different—a— COMMISSIONER — It is sufficient that you poked your perfumed head into the pail without her permission. Mr. Augustus Traughton—True ; oh, yes, certainly, but I submit—a—a—a—she bad no right to absent herself from her pails. The law lays it down that ne gligence— COMMISSIONER—The law is that if you will get tipsy and suffer your well pomatumed locks to be made a mop of, and trundled in a pail of milk, you must pay the damage done. Mr. Augustus Traugbton—l most a—a—a—most emphatically asseverate that—a—a—my locks, as you are pleased to term them,are never—a—a—pomatumed. It is an absolute impossibility that my hair (running his fingers through it) could injure COMMISSIONER—Was your hair as it now is, when it was "soused" in Mrs. Jones's milk? Mr. Augustus Traughton—Yes. I bad—a—a—been out—a—a — to a party. COMMISSIONER—ReaIIy, then, I must say that if your head was rinsed, in the manner described, in the pail, the good woman was quite right in not selling the milk. Mr. Augustus Traughton—l should—a—a— like to know bow—a—the milk could be rendered use less by the—a—a—scent from my hair—a—. COMMISSIONER—Scent —do you call it ? Do you mean to tell me, that the sousing in a pail of milk of a head of hair having on it half a pound of mutton fat and lard, would not spoil it ? —Mr. Augustus Traughton most solemnly declared that the bear's grease used by him was " pure Russia," and that it was so innocent that it would not offend the most delicate stomach. " Oh! mercy me," exclaimed Mrs. Dorothy Jones, " our very pigs turned up their noses at the milk, and we were obliged to throw it into the sink-hole." COMMISSIONER—What do you say to that, MT. Traughton ?—" Pigs have very fine noses," said Au. gustus. COMMISSIONER—And stomachs too, it appears.- It was ultimately decided that Augustus should pay ,he amount claimed. Augustus asked for " time " in order to pay the 4s. 6d.; and, upon the Commissioner putting a few home questions to the perfimed gentleman, it turned out that he was an ex-Westminster grenadier, and that he occa sionally assisted his mother, who was—a laundress. The COMMISSIONER said he was sure that if Mr. Augustus Traugbton left off using bear's grease be might pay the money in a week, which be was ordered to do, and Augustus marched out as if he had been or dered towards Coventry. 31 ASONIC LIFE ASSURANCE AND SAVINGS' BANK ASOCIATION.

TUESDAY, SEPT. Lo. (Before Mr. Hedger, and a Bench of Magistrates.) HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —Jokn Ansel!, aged 37, and Henry Ladd. aged 24, were indicted for feloniously assaultitig John Lee on the Queen's Highway at. Albury, and steal ing from his person a five pound Bank of England note, three sovereigns, and one shilling, his monies. Mr. CHAMBERS appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. GAZELEE for the prisoner Ladd. John Lee examined—l am a travelling man, and get my living at times by gathering bones. On the 20th of Au gust I was reaping in a field belonging to Mr. Shaw at Shezr, and about four o'clock on that day I went to a beer-shop, kept by a person named Grove, in company with a man named Mundy. The prisoners were there drinking, and I remained until nearly ten o'clock. I told the landlady, in the presence and hearing of the prisoners, that I would lend her a five pound note, if she would give me good security for it. I afterwards paid for the beer Mundy and myself had had, and also for the prisoners', as Ansell said he bad but three halfpence in hi; pocket—l paid with some silver which I took out of my breeches pocket. When I left the house I proceeded towards Albury, and on reach ing that place Ansell jumped out of a hedge and struck me on the left shoulder and knocked me down. He then took bold of my legs and doubled them up and bent my head under me, while Ladd unbuttoned my trousers. I begged they would not hurt me as I was the man they had been drinking with, and Ansell having rifled my pockets of a five-pound note and three sovereigns and some silver, I succeeded in getting upon my legs, and saw the prisoner Ansell, by the light of the moon running away. I gave an alarm at a flour-mill close by, and the prisoners were subsequently apprehended. Cross.examined by Mr. GA ZELEE—I had been working all day with Mundy, and I first charged him and Ansel' before a Magistrate with having committed the robbery. After some further evidence had been heard, the CHAIR. MAN summed up, when the Jury found Ansell Guilty, and Ladd Not Guilty.

The officer stated that as be was acco . mpanying the prisoner and another thief who w • Mayor, charged tine a were i n his custody, the former contrived to slip awa Y . appre hended him in a publi c -h ou Witness however se soon afterwards. Sir PETER LAURIE — j suppose you have nothing to say, prisoner? Prisoner—Yes, My Lord : I could not help running awa away if I cou'd. .., y . . It was my business to run .1.., was the officer's business to pre vent it. Sir PETER LAURIE—But you know it is an offence to make an escape from an officer? Prisoner—Please Sir PETER LAURIE asked the butcher's man who at tended to abide by the decision of the Magistrate, whe ther be was aware that tricks of the kind described by the complainant were played by the butchers. The butcher's man said it was no trick, it was merely a practice to make meat saleable.—(A laugh.) It was usual to rub lamb with grease, but not mutton. The thing was done when the lambs were killed. Sri' PETER LAURIE—And you double rub them, I suppose, when they begin to be rather high ? The butcher's man—No, we never rub decayed meat at all. If he had brought the leg of mutton back on Sunday morning before he cooked it, I could have changed it ; but when I sold it to him it was as sweet as a nut. Complainant—l assure you, my Lord, when we too, it out of the pot we could not stand the room. I un derstand the tricks played by butchers. If I had brought it to him on the Sunday morning, he would not have listened to my complaint, on the ground that it would be a violation of the Sabbath.—(g laugh.) The butcher's man declared that he always changed the joints which were brought back to him on the Sun day morning.—(A laugh.) Sir PETER LAURIE The complainant has you there, for it seems you are accustomed to sell meat which requires to be well greased.—(Great laughter.) The butcher's man—ln such weather as this every one knows we cannot answer for the keeping of meat. It goes off in a night. Sir PETER LAURIE—I have every reason to believe that such is the case. Complainant—But, my Lord, this meat is in a very bad state. Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, I think the fairest way of deciding is to divide the expense between you. Let the butcher pay back half of the money he received, and Mr. M'Carthy will be so good as to smell his meat in future before he buys it. The butcher's man—Very well, my Lord, it shall be as you desire. Mr. Hobler—And, Mr. M'Carthy— Complainant—Yes, sir. Mr. Hobler—When next you go to market, his Lordship hopes you will be sure to take your nose with you.—(A laugh.) BOW-STREET. Allen, w fo h r o t b s t o o o s d n na re o m f a n 3 d o e o d l., o w n i t a h int charge ent t df o Drummond, the bankers, and ano th er defraud jforgingalJames for 3701., with intent to defraud the same firm, was yes terday brought up for final examination, and after the evidence, which appeared fully reported on the 12th of • August, had been read over, he was ordered to be com mitted for trial on each charge. The prisoner was again charged with forging a cheque for 200/., with intent to defraud the Surrey, Kent, and Sussex Banking Company. Mr. Bush, Solicitor to the Society for the Prevention of Frauds and Forgeries, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Humphries appeared for the defence. Wm. Croker, a ticket-porter in Doctors' Commoqs, stated that about the middle of last March, the prisoner Dto e o r mc n k,oseWt wherebf. i t m e r . a l atn he e eb, andwaited having i tedprincipal upwards done pewnat rrda so, sn eof he w of an St. e gave him a letter to leave at the bar of th i e laso S uatdir h h i ra p aer inodn T t ea Ta vern, half. P Upon the arrival of the prisoner, "be sent a letter directed to Mr. Ellis, Fenchurch-street, for which witness was to wait for an answer, and on his returning, the prisoner gave him a cheque for 2001., for which he was to get notes and fifty sovereigns at the Surrey, Kent, and Sussex banking houses, Lombard street. Witness could not identify the cheque, nor did he know to whom it was payable ; but when he delivered the money to the prisoner, he said be had to go to an oil manufactory, and after a delay of about twenty minutes, he desired witness to get change at the Bank, and to bring it to him at the Ship Tavern ; but as he was going up the Minories, the prisoner took the notes, and after entering a shop, he. brought them out again, having something written upon them, but it being blotted witness could not read it. The 501. note produced was among those which had been cashed, and on witness returning with the gold and Mr. Thomas Sheene , Clerk in the London nil i no e t n es e , ve t r he sa p w ri h so im ne a r handed in n until him fi at the for his trouble, and bar. Country Joint Stock Banking Company, formerly the Surrey, Kent, and Sussex Banking Company, remem bered having, on the 28th of February last, paid 2001.. the amount of the cheque produced. The money •,,a9 paid in two notes, one for 1001., and another irjr 501., and the remainder in gold. Mr. Samuel Carter, wax and tallow chandler, Black man-street, Blackfriars, proved that his name on the check was a forgery, and he never authorised the pri soner to write his name upon it or any other document. Witness had known the prisoner when he lived in the service of Messrs. Price and Co., Vauxhall. Mr. Bush said, that if it was thought requisite he could, at a future day, bring forward evidence to prove the number of the notes which had been received for the check, which, by the testimony of the last witness, appeared to have been a forgery. Mr. TWYFORD considered that the forgery had been clearly made out in z Lich a satisfactory manner as to authorize him to send 't to a jury. The witnesses were then bound over, and the pri soner was fully committed. A case of embezzlement was about to be gone into against the prisoner, but as the evidence in the forgery cases were complete, it was considered unnecessary to investigate the circumstances connected with the minor offence. Q UEEN- S Q UA RE. Robert Cotton, son of the Rev. Dr. Cotton, the late Ordinary of Newgate, and driver of one of the Railway Omnibusses plying between the Golden Cross, and the Birmingham Railway, was charged by Carter, the in former, with not exposing his badge. The informer proved that on the 2d instant, be was at the Golden Cross, when he saw the defendant on one of the omnibuses as its driver, but he could see no the defendant unbuttoned a Wlntosh, and an wider badge exposed. Witne i s t s w as as ke a d bs h o i coat before the badge was brought to light. The icte was, s sa ry a tli l l defendant bad been fined at this office not long si nce absolutely t where e ly ne for a similar offence. The defendant did not deny the charge, and Mr. JEREMY said he supposed the defendant was ashamed of his calling, and if he was so he must no longer be a driver, for the badge should be worn, and as the defendant bad already been convicted in the mitigated penalty of 55., he should now increase it to 10s., and double the fine every time he might be charged with the same offence hereafter. The defendant paid the fine. T.
