Note.—" Therefore the tower, with his top or domelike heaven, can have no other application than to the figure of the heaven, with the heavenly bodies, the idols which they worshipped the primary one, as observed, being the sun, i.e. an image representing the sun : the sacred writer uses the masculine pronoun rosho, his head.

" And the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven." According to the authorised verson, it seems as though an angel, an immortal being, called to Hagar from the sky, " while she was lost in the wilderness ;" this is the generally received opinion. I shall frequently have occasion to remind the reader, that the word Melake, rendered Angel, literally means an earthly messenger. " Through their several Angels, or Apostolical Ministers, they are commanded to repent and reform, not by discontinuing the Unity of the Church, but for the express purpose that the Unity and identity of the body might be preservei." . " This charge is given to the Angel or Superintending Minister, who is duly invested with authority, for the Government of the Church," p. 273. Reformation to be effected without prejudice to the Unity of the Church.—Church Union.—See The Sun, January 17th. Jerome's version.—Exodus xii. 29.—And it cime to pass that at midnight, the Lord smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the first born of cattle. Hebrew.—" Now, it was at midnight, that Jehovah smote every firstling in the land of Egypt, from the firstling of Pharaoh, who sat upon his throne, to the firstling of the captive, that was in the house of the dungeon." Exodus, xiv. 21.—And Moses stretched. out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east-wind all that night." New Translation.—" Then Moses stretched forth his hand to ward the sea; and Jehovah caused the sea to return by a strong wind eastward." Note.—" An east-wind would necessarily drive the waters of the ocean through the Straits of Babelmandel into the Red Sea, and thus raise the waters higher than usual, which would have prevented the sea from being dry land, as stated in the common version. And thus, we are told, that The translation of the Septuagint speaks for itself in the most philosophical manner.'

Pictorial Bible.—Judges c. ze. v. 4.—" And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took fire-brands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firs-brand in the midst between two tails." New Translation.—The word Shougnaalim, which is rendered Foxes, comes from the root shagnal, which means the Hollow of the Hand. From which it appears, that the word Shougnaalim means handfuls, or armfuls, of anything to which it is applied; and, in this passage, it is applied to the sheaves of cern evidently ; that he took Three Hundred Handfuls, or Armfuls, of the Sheaves of Corn, and Turned them Tail to Tail, and put Fire-brands in the midst between the Tails."—Extracts, see Galway Independent, April 28, 1837,, Joshua, c. x. 4 f'l3.—" Sun stand thou still upon Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon."

See Classical Journal, No. 60 ; also Liverpool Advertiser, Dur ham Chronicle, and Norwich Mercury, 1835. Note.—" One thing is most singular in the order of the Divine Providence respecting the idolaters of Canaan. While their lights were burning in their temples as symbols of the Sunlight and Moonlight, and while the worship of the light of the two orbs, the sun and moon, was celebrating, that pagan abomination was totally destroyed." Pictorial Bible, according to the authorised Text. 1 Kings, c. xvii. v. 4.—" Thu• it shall be, thou (Elijah) shalt drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there." Hebrew.—New Translation, Part. V.—" Thus it shall be, thou (Elijah) shall drink of the brook, and I have commanded the Ara bians to supply thee there." V. 6.—" fhere the Arabians brought for him bread and flesh in the morning," &c. Job, c. i. v. 6.—The Bishop of London begins his note by ob serving, " This is a bold variation from the generally admitted sense of the Hebrew paraphrase ; but I am convinced after the most mature consideration, that the conception of the passage is no less just, than it is original. It certainly is defensible upon the strongest ground." " It is a bold variation, and I am (new translator) constrained to observe, that the conception of the passage is neither Just, nor Ori ginal, and that it is not Defensible. ' _ _ Job ixxix. 19.—" Hast thou given the horse strength ? Hast thou clothed hi s nec k with th un d e r ?" In this verse we have ono of the finest similies I have ever met with in any author, ancient or modern ; the greatest beauties in Homer, Virgil, or Milton, are as far below it as to propriety of application, or elegance of expression, as the Supreme Speaker is above the person addressed. The Bishop of London is willing to admit that Rangmaah means " the thunder," but he says, " is not this one of those noble and sublime expressions, of which one dares not question the meaning ? other wise, it may be asked, how can a can a neck be clothed with thun der ?" That the passage is " noble and sublime" must be allowed ; but we cannot suppose that the Sacred Scriptures, which God has given for a rule of life, are given in such " noble and sublime" lan guage, that we are not to question, or endeavour to understand their meaning ; what idea can we form of the " noble and sublime," if its meaning be unintelligible ? That which cannot be understood can neither be noble nor sublime. Now, as the lightning precedes, and by its swiftness and power is the cause of the thunder, which it necessarily draws with it, so the swiftness and power of the horse is in this striking metaphor compared to the lightning, for the swiftness and power with which he rushes into the battle, described in this chapter, dragging after him the iron war-chariots, with which they fought in those days, the noise of which is in this pas sage compared to the thunder."—P. 212.—The Classical Journal, No. 5. Jerome's Version.-2 Kings, c. v., v. 18.—" In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my master cometh into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leanetht on my hands, and I do bow myself in the house of Rimmon ; when I bow down myself in the house of Ilimmon, the Lord pardon thy servant in this Hebrew.— " Since I myself, worshipped in the house of Rimmon, will Jehovah, I pray thee, pardon thy ser vant in this thing." " The Right Rev. the Bishop of St. David's having circulated Reasons why a New Translation of the Bible should not be pub lished,' &c. I wish to communicate to the public, through the me dium of your Journal, a few observations in reply." " But, he (Naaman) entreats (says his Lordship), that his apparent idolatry in his attendance on his master in the temple of Rimmon might be pardoned. And how does he propose to reconcile his wish to per. form apparent idolatry, with his being afraid even of the appearance of it in his future attendance on his master. But in truth, there is not one word in the original to countenance that sense. . . . . . " It is truth only which can make a • nation invulnerable, and raise it to the highest degree of excellence—the blaze of divine truth, which is contained in the real Ark of God, the hallowed oracles, which break forth over the dark mountains of error, bi gotry and superstition,—and men will be enabled to drink the pure waters as they flow from the fountain of eternal truth."— P. 226.

SECRETAKT—Mr. H. Dean. This Railway, only 10 miles in length, commences at the 17th mile of the London and Brighton Railway, in the parish of Harley, and runs through Charlwood, Crawley, Ifield, Beeding, and Rue per, and terminates in the town of Horsham. _ _ The nature of the country through which the Railway passes is agricultural, the land not of a very valuable description ; and though it terminates in the centre of the town of Horsham, it destroys but few buildings. The gradients are favourable, the steepest being I in 330 feet, or 16 feet in a mile. The works are light, the deepest cutting not exceeding 24 feet, the heaviest embankment not exceeding 30 feet, and these only occur in one place. The works upon the remainder of the line arc easy, several miles running upon the surface of the ground. The agricultural importance of the town of Horsham is well known, and such as fully to entitle it to the conveniences and advan tages of a Railway communication with the metropolis ; and, al though it is not intended to carry this Railway beyond the town of Horsham, yet it will ensure the traffic of the surrounding country. This traffic was fully investigated before the Parliamentary Com mittee on the rejected Brighton Line, by way of Horsham, and the result fully proved the pecuniary advantages to be derived from a proper Line of Railway to Horsham; and, when it is remembered that the present project accomplishes, by a Railway of 10 miles, all that could have been obtained for Horsham and West Sussex by a Railway of 30 miles, the public cannot fail to be convinced that an ample return will be derived from the capital expended in this undertaking. In submitting this Railway to the public, the Provisional Com mittee call the particular attenticn of the proprietors of the Brighton Line to the vast increase of traffic 'which will thus be brought upon their Railway, which must be conducive to the interests of that Company, and render this undertaking one deserving of their cor dial support. The requisite Parliamentary notices hays been given," end- the plans deposited, for an application to Parliament in the ensuing Session. The Provisional Committee hare stated the Capital to be 200,000/. ; but this considerably exceeds the estimated costs. They have adopted this course to meet any contingency that might arise, feeling . fully satisfied that a traffic can be shown to justify a much greater outlay. The Deposit of 31. per Share is required, in consequence of the new Standing Orders of Par liament. Applications for Shares to be made by letter (post paid), to the Solicitors (of whom Prospectuses may be had), in the sub joined form. London, January 2.5, 1839. TO THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE. OF THE LONDON AND HOR- SHAH RAILWAY C0147.4.15;Y.

I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, Ulla Christian and Surnames, with Date and Address, to be signed by the Applicant.' No. 36, OLD BOND-STREET. EYESIGHT and DEFECTIVE HEARING. The success of Mr. ELIA SOLONIONS' PATENT SPECTACLES, and a similarity of names favouring the decep tion, has induced parties to offer publicly as a new invention, profess ing to relieve simultaneously vision and' deafness, common glasses of many years' standing, ground on the principle of the periscopic lens (the meniscus employed for Spectacles 40 years ago), and which are highly injurious to the sigh!. These quack and absurd misre presentations, unsupported by weight or authority, might have been safely allowed to pass unnoticed before the eyes if a discern ing public; but as the names of some medical gentlemen are used, it behoves one to inqure by what means, or on what grounds, their signatures have been obtained (if obtained at all) as sanctioning a direct untruth by proclaiming such as " Newly-invented Spectacle Lenses," which are unanswerably nothing more than common glasses, of a pink or purple tint, to be purchased at the above esta blishment, at Is. 6d. per pair. Mr. E's. VOICE CONDUCTORS for DEAF PERSONS have been eminently successful in the most extreme cases of slefec tire hearing; are worn unperceived, being constructed on asmaller scale than any hitherto offered, measuring only one quarter of an inch in diameter ; possess the peculiar power of conveying the slightest sound with accurate distinctneus, affording at the same time the greatest ease and assistance in all cases of Deafness. TESTIMONIALS on the PATENT SPECTALES of Mr. ELIA SOLOMONS, 36, Old Bond-street, nearly opposite the Western Exchange. From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S., President of the Royal Col lege of Surgeons, an Senior Surgeon to the Westminster Hospital, &e. . _ _ Mr. Elia Solomons' Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to afford additional aids to ijnperfect vision, and because of their superior refracting towers to glass or other dense materials, they promise to afford new resources for the construction of Spectacles. ANTHONY CARLISLE, F.R.S., Langham-place. From Dr. J. Johnson, Physician Extraordinary to the late King, !cc. _ . I hays been using and am still using Mr. Elia Solomons' Amber Spectacles, ind find them more pleasant to the Eye than any other glasses which I have tried. JAMES JOHNSON, M.D., 8, Suffolk-place. prom Bransby Cooper, Esq., F.R.S., Surgeon to Guy's Hos pital, &c. From the use I have made of an Amber Lens, and comparing it with those in ordinary glasses, I have no hesitation in saying that, to my sight, the former is infinitely preferable, in being less trying to the Eye. BRANSBY B. COOPER, 2, New-street, Spring-gardens. I am much pleased with Mr. Elia Solomons' Amber Lenses, and a Gentleman who made trial of them for several days, says that they relieve the Ey* much more than any Glasses he has before used. MARTIN WARE, New Bridge-street. I have examined the Amber Spectacles made by Mr. Elia Solo mon', and I am of opinion that they are calculated to answer every purpose for which they are intended—that they soften the light to veak and irritable Eyes, and are likely to be useful to persons whose sight is thus affected—being preferable to Glass or Pebbles. J. COPLAND, M.D., F.R. S., Bulstrode-st., Manchester-sq. From an examination of the Amber Lenses, I have every reason to eoncludo that they possess many and decided advantages over the ordinary Glass Spootarles. J. T. CONQUEST, M.D., IS, Finsbury-square.

If they cannot, they are not qualified to translate from the Hebrew." . . . • • • " Surely, every one who believes in the sanctity of the word of God, for the reasons above given, will be convinced that it never was subject to those casualties which ever attend on the writings of men, and will not hesitate to say, that the most confirmed infidels, from the time of Porphyry of Celsus, to the modern Deist, could not have broached a more impious and untenable dogma—than the sacred orig inal " Inspired Volumes were corrupt." " As th University is implicated, by the Syndics defraying the expense of the publication called A Critical Enquiry, it will be something new in the annals of that high seat of learning, and will be heard with astonishment in the Continental Universities, that a hook containing such dangerous and infidel dogmas, calcu lated if believed to shake the faith of all Christendom, is printed ;t the expense of the Syndics of the University of Cambridge, written by a man who says, that the third person singular of the verb is also the participle active."—Extracts. Reason why the Roman Catholic Emancipation cannot be granted, without imminent danger to, and violation of, the principles of the Protestant Constitution as settled at the Reformation. 1828. " From the commencement of the Christian Church to the time of Constantine, the Church of Christ was pure, it war to that pe riod Apostolic ; but when Constantine turned Christian he brought into the Church, an inundation of wealth, Paganism; and worldly grandeur which like a mighty flood, swept away the truths of the Apostolic Church." • " The Papists refuse to take the oath of supremacy, as they will not allow any other potentate to be supreme, except the Pope." —Extracts.---See The Sun, January 17th. " The Hanover Gazette admits that the Archbishop of Cologne has sent a courier to Berlin, demanding to be transferred to Cologne, or Munster, but makes no offer of submission."—Herald, Sept. 17, 1838.

" The Holy Father then raising his pastoral voice with Apostolic Freedom, 'calls earth and heaven to witness his complaints against the detriment done to the Church in the Kingdom of Prussia."-- The Morning Herald, Oct. 3, 1838. Imperial Rome governed the bodies of men, but did net extend her empire further. Papal Rome improved upon Imperial : she made the tiara stronger than the diadem; pontiffs more powerful than prmtors ; and the crozier more victorious than the sword. She devised a system so complete in all its parts, for the subjuga tion both of body and mind, that, like Archimedes, she asked but one thing, and that Luther denied her—a fulcrum of ignorance on on which to rest that lever by which she could have balanced the w orld. —L aeon . We repeat our entreaty to his Majesty the King of Prussia, as " wisdom, like a pure and bright conductor, can render harmless the brutum fulmen' of the Vatican, by following the precedent of the illustrious dead—to give the ' Italian priest' a similar denial. " The last ten years have brought with them a century's strength to the Roman Catholic cause in Ireland. Te win back heretical England to the Romish fold, is undoubtedly, the great, the ultimate object of the Irish Roman Catholic party. Let those who dread such a result, bestir themselves forthwith to subvert a policy, of which, that result must prove a necessary consequence."—Herald, Oct. 5, 1838. " He is the freeman whom the truth makes free,"—(Powlett's Reasons for being a Christian) therefore a brawling nation, " hereditary bondsmen," whose natural position makes it the soundest sense of policy (no other consideration) to keep them in amity with us—let us, that she may be a worthy associate, so sound the trumpetof reform—or rather of "reformation within herself" ( our mightiest feat " by glorious valour won," being fought on foreign soil), that they may be " Great, glorious and free, Fairest flower of tin earth, brightest gem of the sea." The battle array which we present, in promoting and defence of just immunities—is the combination of "master minds," "the death less part of some who died too soon;" not fifteen thousand fighting men ! which most ennobles a nation ? "Papacy (' that infallibility duth so hedge it in') like Pedantry, prides herself on being wrong by rules ; would rather stumble in following the dead, than walk upright by the profane assistance of the living. She worships the mouldering mummies of antiquity, and her will is, that they shluld not be buried, but embalmed. She would have Truth herself bow to the authority of great names, while common sense would have great names bow to the authority of truth." " May the diffusion of knowledge, the increase of religion and morality, and the augmented happiness of the people, make the present reign (era) more glorious than triumphs in the field have rendered these that preceded it, and peace have her vic tories nn less renowned than war. " Reasons in Favour of a New Translation of the Holy Scriptures. By Sir James Bland Burgess, Bart. 1819. " The matter is highly deserving of attention. It is a question of no less magnitude than the choice between a blind adhesion to error, and a pure and perfect knowledge of the revealed law of God. Which of these is preferable—which of them is it no lees the interest than it is the duty of every reasonable being to adopt— cannot admit of a doubt. In such a case let us not be alarmed by any vain fear of temporary inconvenience, which ought not for a moment to weigh against the permanent and incalculable advan tages atteadant on such a measure. Let us, on the other hand, entertain a lively, and, I trust, a well-founded hope, that those who gt.vern our Church and State, they may be pleased to take the matter into consideration, and direct an immediate revision of our Received Version, or, what might perhaps he more recommend able, a New Translation of the Original Text."—Extracts. A Reply to the Rev. Mr. Todd's Vindication of our Transla tion and Translators of the Bible. By Sir James Bland Burgess, Bart. 1820. " Of all the crafty inventions of the Devil to mislead and seduce mankind, this perversion (Unitarianism) of the Holy Scriptures is the most efficacious : it is rearing the standard of falsehood against the revelation of Heaven (addressed to the Bishops of Durham and Norwich); it is overthrowing the altars of the Most High, and worshipping the molten calves of our own setting up ; it is pc isoning the fount of truth, and converting its pure and sacred streams into corruption and death." " If these be new Texts for Socinianism, the Socinians may preach upon them as long as they please without much apprehen sion of danger." " I certainly, therefore, should have considered them as altoge ther undeserving of a reply, had they not been employed as a vehi cle of ranch illiberal personality, to which the writer has affected to give an additional weight, by ostentatiously announcing himself in his title-page, as Keeper of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Re cords,' and by dating his preface from ' Library, Lambeth Palace.' " " Such were the birth and parentage of our received version, as asserted by Mr. Todd himself, and proved by his oNn testimony! No further comment on it is necessary." Suo sibi gladio buns j ugalo. " Resting on this evidence, I leave this charge, and with it the whole of Mr. Todd's Vindication of our authorised translation and translators, than which a more meagre, crude, and unsatisfac tory performance, was never obtruded on the public." " The charge of Socianism 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 answering. Does not he know that it was employed against Le Clerc? Did he never hear of a similar charge made against our immortal Locke ? If such artifices were used against men of their exalted characters, I can have no pretension to expect a more liberal treatment." " Some may say, Let us introduce no change, for we cannot tell what further changes may be required of us.'—Had this been listened to, neither the Reformation nor the Revolution could have taken place, and we should have been still subject to Romish super stition, and to despotic power." " On the side of those who advocate the necessity of a New Translation rests the whole weight of facts and arguments. Let not these be counteracted by less worthy considerations ; let us not leave to the enemies of Christianity the only weapons by which it can be assailed ; but lot us cordially and sincerely unite with the learned and pious prelate Archbishop Newcombe, in the prayer with which he concludes his preface, May the all-wise God, in His fit time, dispose the Sovereign of the first Protestant Churches, and of the most learned countries in the world, to complete his true acts of piety, by promoting equal attention to the English Bible !"—Extracts.

Solomon? newly invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they are far preferable to my vision than any other lens ; the relief is very great, in particular by candle light, and in course of use for a length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every ob ject very distinct; they can be fully appreciated only by thew who, like myself, may stand in need of them. " JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D. " No. 1, Great George- street, Westminster." We, the undersigned, have been making use of the Messrs.
