We shall here exhibit to the country, that for the great " measure of truth which we enjoy," we are indebted to Mo narchs—rightly so—they were "the people's t rust." " All the king's—(Henry the Eighth's)—proceedings con vincing the Pope that he was to expect no change in him, he published at le'igth the Bull of Excommunication, drawn, and signed in 1535. As soon as Henry heard of the Bull being published, he required the Bishops and Abbots to swear again to renounce the Papal authority. 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. A Grafton, th e printer,} printed 1,500 at his own charge, which amounted to 5001. !' —History of England, by Rapin, p. 619.

" Messieurs de Beausobre and L'lnfant, Ministers of the French Church at Bthlin, 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 i evised, or a new translation made.

" If he who spake as never man spake, who came to bless all nations with divine wisdom, was by the enemies of his Gospel, the Pharisaical critics of the time, charged with being beside himself—of having a devil, &c., because he told them that they tanght for doctrines the commandments of men, i. e. the false interpretations of the sacred original, and on that account was persecuted by the bigots of that day,—one humble as myself may expect to be abused by men of this description." . . .

Our Universities are, in a great measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse, knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, to which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege. All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will not budge, whatever was not known when they wereendowed, they are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlitt's Table Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828.

He (Viscount Melbourne) had great respect for that University, but he could not admit that the University of Oxford was to be infallible in these matters. 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 (oxford. It was well known, that if the opinions of that Unive Amity had been adhered to, the Protestant religion would neykr have been established.

" 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 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 ernendatious turn out correct, they should be adopted, as up 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 my-elf, will lament that they have drank more freely at the stream, than at the f oun t a i n . " " We hail the march of intellect, because we know—that a reason that is cultivated, is the best support of a worship that is pure.

" 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.

" 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 anecdote he had from Mr. Bellamy himself, who was' ntimately acquainted with Dr. Clarke, the Prince's librarian.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. trust a Journal which advocates the Tights and interests of the humbler classes will not refuse insertion. to the following statement. A day or two since I saw a poor woman, cleanly and decently clad, attempt to enter the enclosure gate of St. James's-park, near Storey's-gate, but she was rudely repulsed by the green-coated, top-booted, rubicund janitor. She pleaded that she wanted to cross to the Stable-yard on the opposite side of the Park—that it was a long way round by the outer gate, and that she was old and feeble ; the gate keeper was; however, inflexible. Now if this woman had been of the class of showily dressed females who infest our public walks, the gates of the Park would have been thrown wide to admit her. 1 leave it to your readers to judge which of the two would have been the greater offence to morality and public decency. A few days previously 1 was passing along the Mall, when I heard the sentry on duty at the Park entrance to St. James' Palace, challenge a person near me in regular military style,—" Halt ! take off your pattens !” The person challenged was a poor woman, whose well-worn slippers afforded her very inadequate protection in the district fa miliarly known as ." the Buckingham Bog." The pattens were of course taken off, and the humble pedestrian was obliged to flounder through the mud (which was literally ancle deep•at the time) as she best could. The cruelty and injustice of this regu lation will be more apparent when it is known that " the Buckingham bog" is the only route by which the large population of Pimlico and Chelsea can get , to or return from town—that there is no pave client or flagged way to protect passengers from the mud, and that neither public nor private vehicles, (save only a privileged few who have the right of entree) will be permitted to pass through the Park. The whole affair—the state of this th oroughfare, and the regulations referred to, are a positive dis grace to the authorities, and th e sooner some remedy is a pplied the better. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN INHABITANT OF CHELSEA. Th e Tithe Commissioners for Wales have ap pointed Robert Page, of Charlton-house, Somerset, r , an. Assistant Tithe Comnijisioner, for especial purposes. " The Plain of,Metidja,is enclosed betweert the Lesser AtlaS on the south, and the heights of Algiers on the north. Its greatest breadth is 17,00 Q metresvand its length, from east to west, about 80,000 metres. It 1i traversed bfthree rivers, the Hatnist, or:Khatnis; and the - ATaeli, towards the east ; and the Chiffa, which aftcr*ttrds takes the .name of Mazafran, on the west.. 'Since the Praia occupation eight roads, of first, second, and third class, have been made across the • i plain, connecting Algiers with Blidah, Kolealb and the several camps, and forming, at the same time, military, lines. The chief part of this,plain, according to the Treaty of the Tafna, belongs to:Trance., whose limits towards the east are defined as extending beyond the TJed-Kaddara, and on the west as bOunded by the Chiffa.. Farther, ,on, in the di rection of Oran, the plain is: - Occupied by the Hadjouts.. " Insalubrious as the plain unquestionably is, French colonists have formed there a number of agricultural establishments, among, which one of the most conspicuous is that of'Baron Vialar, in the Benimonssi; at the foot of 'the Atlas, round which are grouped a small village, and a number of detached farm-houses. The prOperty of M. de Tonnac, a young and enterprising colonist, deserves likewise to be mentioned. This gentleman resides among the Atlas mountains, where he constantly employs about fifty native labourers: The Model• Farm, of which mention. is made in some of the letters from Algiers, as having ibek.7-401 - nentan oe6tifirect by ate' Hadjouts, is situatetr'at—atlcSi -9,000 metres from the city. " The Metidja is defended by a number of camp and military posts, which makes it difficult to ac count for the facility with which it has been ravaged by a handful-of Hadjouts, for Abd-el•Kader and his troops had not yet made their appearance ac cording to the last dates. The line of the Chiffa, the western boundary, is defended by the camp of Koleah, the two camps of Biidah, the camp of the Chiffa, and by four blockhouses or fortified posts ; making eight posts on an extent of 17,000 metres. Behind this line are the camps of Boufariek, Maelma, and Douera ; a little farther eastward are the camps of Kouba, the Hamise, the Foundoue, and Mustapha ; all these camps are connected by roads ; but this system of defence, formed upon the system of European tactics, appears to be of no avail against the wild incursions of the Arabs. " It is supposed that the Hadjouts penetrated into the plain during the night, by fording the Chiffa. There it was that they surprised and put to death the 127 men belonging to the 24th Regi ment of the line. Thence they must have followed the foot of the Atlas, to avoid the marshes, since they appear to have begun by laying waste all the farms of the Benimoussa. The force by which the first inroads have been made is said to amount to about five or six thousand men, composed of the Emir's allies ; he himself, with a body of 6,000 well-disciplined troops, it is added, was on his way to support the first attack. tin auxiliary force of 1,000 men from Morocco, it is believed, accom panies his march. " Every thing at Algiers was enormously dear, no supplies of any kind arriving from the interior. 'Great anxiety was felt to know whether hostilities had commenced simultaneously in the provinces of Oran and Constantine ; in the former, it was thought, the troops would be fully prepared to re pulse any attack that might be made, but in Con stantine, it was feared sickness had left few men capable of making an effectual resistance." HORTICULTURAL NOTICE FOR DECEMBER. The extraordinary weather which still prevails ren ders it a task of no common difficulty to give directions suitable to the season. We do not recollet an autumn that can be cited as a type of that of the present year. The temperature, as a whole, has been extremely mild; not a single frost had occurred prior to the 23d of November, and even then the mercury was not seen at the freezing point beyond three or four of the morning hours, with a slight rime, which produced no injury to the tenderest plants of the garden, and was succeeded by high temperature on the 24th and 25th. On the 26th, however, it became suddenly cold, and the morning of the 27th dawned with en immense deposit of rime and seven degrees of frost, followed by a very copious fall of snow. It is a circum stance almost without precedent, that notwithstanding the prevalence of south-westerly winds, there has not been one equinoctial gale! Whatever may have been experienced on the coasts, the inland counties have scarcely felt a breeze ; the season has been one of almost uninter rupted calm till November 23, when the phenomenon of the aurora borealis, which occurred about seven o'clock in the evening, appeared to introduce the strong westerly current of the two following days. Subsequent to the hail storms of July, there have been, with only two exceptions, scarcely three consecu tive dry days=haze, fog, drizzling rain, with occa sional heavy showers, characterise the summer and au tumn of 1839 ; and the eonsequence is, that the gar dens are saturated with water, and those, the soil of which is of a binding quality, are not in a condition to be disturbed at all. All the operations in such cases have been done by snatches—potato digging the raising of parsnips, car rots, and beet-root have been performed i❑ detail, the land being swamped and poached during the progress of the work. The routine processes of ridging, trenching, earthing up, and weeding, which ought to precede the winter's frosts, must not be lost sight of ; but no one can say that the state of the ground will be in any degree favourable, nor will it be easy to sow peas and beans for the second spring crop. But this flood of water has not fallen in , vain : it may impede the seasonable work of the gar , dener for a time, yet, as several preceding years have been too dry, a great supply of water may be regarded as a precursor of a fine and prolific season. Another consequence of the damp summer has been the rapid decay of the autumnal fruits—of pears par ticularly ; all fruit -trees, however, have made fine wood, and the spurs and buds are in promising condition. Defer pruning of every kind till February. In the flower-garden keep the surface of beds, also lawns, gravel-walks, &c., as clean as the season will per mit; cover the roots of fuchsias with half-decayed leaves, and apply the same freely about the stems of China roses, laurustinus, bay-trees, and, indeed, of all valuable shrubs. We recollect the devastation of the severe frost of 1838. Where plates of moss can be readily obtained a capital means of defence will be found. Beds and plots of the shrubs, called " Ame rican," if covered with this substance, are rendered ex tremely beautiful to appearance, and are effectually guarded at the same time ; for the frost will be unable to penetrate far into the soil. The green house, and plant frames must be carefully heeded. A very small charcoal fire, in a close conical furnace, will keep alight for hours, and diffuse sufficient heat to repel actual frost. Geraniums, to be kept in high perfection, ought to be placed in a house devoted to their express culture : 50 degrees of heat, with much dry air, will do them good, but as to heaths, ca mellias, and all the hard -wooded families, little or no fire is ever required, for it is not desirable to excite them to grow. Succulent plants must be kept dry, they are very hardy, and like much light with abundance of air during sunshine. The plant stove was formerly kept very warm, and verdure may thus be pretty well maintained. But no thing is gained by heat. It is sufficient to support a temperature of 45 or 50 deg. by fire, and though the leaves of some plaints will fall, the buds will break finely in the spring. Plants benefit by a season of torpidity and perfect repose. At this season the purple guava (psidium Cattleya num) is ripening its fruit : this a charming shrub, and requires no more than full greenhouse- temperature. It will be found a great acquisition, as, from its rich purple berries, a confection can easily be prepared equal to the West India guava jelly. ELECTION FOR SOUTHWARK.--There are now no less than four candidates in the field canvassing for this borough, viz.—Mr. Walter, Mr. Benjamin Wood, Mr. Arthur Rose, and Mr. Roebuck. A most active canvass is going on in all parts of Southwark, and there is very little doubt of the contest being a very severe one. CHIEF BARON. —The Evening Mail has put forward a circumstantial account of legal arrange ments, consequent upon th e res i gna ti o n of the Lord Chief Baron, which is stated as having actually taken pl ace . We are authorised to state that his Lordship has no intention whatever of resigning, and there is, therefore, no truth whatever in any part of the story of the Mail. We arc truly happy to add, that his Lord ship is on his return from the Continent, greatly im proved in hoaltl3.—Dublin Everting Post. . , LONDON, Dec. 6, 1 8 39. The Gazette of this 'evening • will quote the ' • average price'of British Plantation Moto- Per I> wt• vado Sugar; 'exclusive of du, at .. ;.. '3Bs. The actual quantity 'of. Sugar sold• on account of the' importers,in the week ending ad ir*., according to the re turusmade up o n oa th by . the Weit'lndiii Sugar Brokers, inconformity with the Act of Parlianient, and on which quantity - the, above price is computed, consisted of 1,061 .. hogsheads, 119 tierce, p-nd 28 kernels. The accounts brought by the Aleit ;paeket from the West Indies ? are upon the-:whole.very favourable, and lead to the expectation `tropi 'far: 1840 will .produce an average supply of 'Sugar. It t na y be trm., that in particrdir situations new canes have mit beau planted according to' the uSuahroptine of cultivating the plantations, eitlier . from the inability of the proprietors to defray the -coati of such description of labour, or from n disinClihation, on the 'part of the •Blacks, to work for certain' masters upon any terms,;, we are not, how ever, to imag,ioe that the estate, wiilt yield no sugar, iwocanse new canes have not beenplanted; on the con trary, the old canes will become' ratfoons; and it is well - known that • sugar from the rattoons is of a quality superion'to that from new canes, although the quantity may not be so large, and When we call to mind that the predictions of a failure in the crops of 1839, uttered with . great earnestness and Much plausibility in 112nember 1838, have provdd to . be singularly inaccu rate, we are stOw to believe all that is now Stated with regard to the shortness of creps for 1840. ?Moreover he extreme :caution with Which the buyers act, shows that the public at large participat e in our opinion, and I look for an average supply of Seger in the ensuing year. The Market in Mincing lane is particularly heavy, I with the exception of a few saleS made for the supply of tke Government contract,. scarcely any West India Sugars have changed hands either yesterday or this morning. . Foreign Sugars may be purchased at from 16s. 6d. to 21s. per cwt. ',Those raised by free labour in the Manillas var!,?, according to quality, from 19s. to 225., being about 17s. 6d. per cwt. lower than the average .price of West India Sugar. High prices have stimulated an extende?'"Altivation Or gligan in The-East Indies . inee . 'ihe-equalization duty on it with West India Sugar. From the Ist 'O'T January to the end of November, 1837, 69,490 bags of ,; East India sugar were imported into London. For the same period of the present year 168,883, bags have been landed, showing an increase in 1839 over 1837 of 99,393 bags. Each bag contains about 2 cwt of sugar. It is expected that the importation of sugar from Bengal in 1840, will nearly double the weight landed in 1839. LONDON FASHIONS FOR DE- CEMBER. CLOAIS.—Some of the most elegant of the new ones are composed of satins of full colours and lined with rose oelilac ; they are confined to the waist by a tor sade, which is terminated by two tassels, composed of effiles descending as low as the shoe ; a corresponding cord, placed at some distance from the edge, encircles the round of the cloak. The sleeves, lined like the mantle, are quite open on the fore-arm. NEW MATERIALS FOR HALF-DRESS AND EVENING DRESS.— We may cite, among the first, the new pat terns of striped and plaided silks, and the new mousse line de laine, of full colours. Some are trimmed with velvet of one of the colours of the robe, others with black lace. We may cite also for dinner dress the Eg lintoun velvet, an orange ground with black patterns ; this material has a golden shade which produces a very pretty effect. Plain and plaided satins are also in request for dinner dress. Violet raps with broad satin stripes, and poplins, imitating reps by the richness of the silk, are adopted indiscriminately for dinner and evening' dress ; but the two materials which this season are expected to bear the belle are Eglinton velvet, a pearl gray s,stin stripe shot with rose colour, and mouseline de Mims., a light gray ground, extremely rich and silky, strewed with dark blue velvet palms, notched round the edges aad appliquees on the mousseline de laMe ; and the trimming is composed of two bias flounces, disposed in the same style, and bordered with a broad festoon of velvet, cut in cocks' combs. BONNETS.—PIain and fancy velVets and terry velvets are in a decided majority, with the exception, however, of drawn bonnets, which are composed either of satin, gros Constantine, or gros d'Afrique. Drawn bonnets are adopted only in deshabille ; they are trimmed with satin ribands of the colour of the bonnet, but always with a stripe at:the edge of a different hue. Tilt trim ming is, in general, in a very light style ; if dowers are employed, a sprig is placed on one side at the bottom of the crown, and depending on the brim ; it issues . from a knot of riband of a moderate size. MoaNuco DaEss.—There is but a slight change: in the form of morning dresses, and that is, that the corsage is less open in the bosom ; it is still cut in the shape of a V, but rises higher behind, and is rather closer in front. EVENING DRESS.—Where corsages are rounded at the top, they are generally made very low ; those en occur, whether dressed or tight, are more delicate, as they rise higher on the shoulders and behind, and the bosom is shaded by a chemiiette. Corsages made en gerbe arie also 'a good deal adopted. Dresses of Indian muslin still continue in favour, and will do so during the winter. Several are made with corsages a milk plis, and trimmed with a falling tucker of either point or Brussels lace. The sleeves arc short of the double bouillon form, surmounted by a fall of lace, and termi nated by another fall. Ceintures'are again in vogue ; they are cbmposed of twisted ribbon tied in front, with long floating ends. The dresses made en guimpe, trim med with three volans. BALL DRESC—A new and elegant style of ball dress is composed of tulle over satin ; the former is composed of three skirts, but the extreme lightness of the material' and the manner in which it is arranged, produce an excellent effect. We shall cite as an example a robe of white tulle ; on the longest skirt a satin riband forms a hem, surmounted by puff folds of tulle; in the hollow parts which they form is placed a rose of the four sea sons without foliage. The two others' are decorated with blais of tulle and satin, forming montants, and that on the left is attached by knots of riband placed en echelle, from whence sprigs of rose buds issue. Turbans arc expected to be very much in favour this season, and both the ornaments and materials will be of great richness. Nothing, indeed, can be more magni ficent than the Persian and Arabian turbans, with foun datious of gold net, and the folds formed of gold gauze; the ends trimmed with a long light gold fringe. FASHIONABLE COLOURS.—We have given above the new. colours in favour for velvet bonnets ; they are also principally those adopted for hats, petits bards, &c., in evening dress. We observe, however, that black velvet is coming into favour for, these latter. There is no other change this month.

Mr. Ashton is insured, but he has sustained a loss of 2201. in money,which he had placed behind the wainscot before he went out, for security, hut which, unfortu nately for him, on his return, the room and cash had both been destroyed by thefire. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT BUCK INGHAM PALACE.—On Wednesday morning, about 11 o'clock, about twenty men were at work upon a scaf fold, when one of the scaffold-poles supporting the ex treme end, snapped asunder, and the men. three in number, who were at work in that particular part, were precipitated to the ground, a distaace of thirty feet. One of the men fell on his feet, and escaped without the slightest injury, but the other two were dreadfully injured. Both men were immediately taken to St. George's Hospital upon shutters, and M•Carthy, who has a wife and five c hildren, died almost i mmediately after his admittance. The injuries received by Camp bell are of so serious a nature that it is not expected he will recover.
