On which that Prince pitched on them for this purpose, and by his Royal Decree appointed them to make a new transiation.' —P. 372. A Complete History of the several Translations of the Holy Bible and Testament, into English, both in MS. and in Print, and of the most remarkable editions of them since the invention of printing, by John Lewis, A.M., Chaplain to th• Right Hon. Thomas Earl of Mallon, and Minister of Alargate, n Kent, 1739. " 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, 11121. " University Education." " The great resorts and seats of learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as the world outgrows them. 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, tc 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 wasnot known when they weri.endowed, they lare still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlitt's Table Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828. " Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image ; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a man lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a life, but revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations faro the worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labours of public men, how we blight that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books ; sine* we see a kind of homicide may be thus committed, some times a martyrdom ; and if it extend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends net in the slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and faith essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immor tality rather than a life."—Areopagitica, Milton. National Education.—" The Bishop of Norwich said the race of clergy which was now passing away had had the most favourable opportunity of instituting schools in their parishes, and of educating the people in the principles of the Church of England. If this had been done thirty years ago, and educa tion extended to teaching the children obedience to and re spect for the law, and the frugal husbanding of their means, it would have been impossible to have raised infuriated bands of malcontents like the Chartists of the present day, and England would have a very different aspect. He did not cast a general condemnation on the clergy of that period, for many of there had fully done their duty ; but he regretted that so golden an opportunity had passed—an opportunity that would take the greatest labour and energy of those anxious to impose en the rising generation to reclaim." The Sun, No. 14,657, August the Bth, 1839. " We cannot on this occasion lay down our pen without en deavouring to impress on the religious and Protestant part of the community, the unspeakable importance of speedily taking measures to purify and purge the Church." If there be truth or consistency in man, sincere Protes tants must turn against those who have given such prodigious antages to the Popish superstition."—The Morning Sun, Tuesday, September, 10, 1839. I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision— Bellamy's—of the Hebrew Scriptures, great s t ress oug h t to be laid, as anticipating a closer approximation i n sen ti ment amen.. all denominations of Christians now at variance with each other, upon certain disputed points of doctrine—under this impression, I think all must subscribe to its importance„"...- Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824. " The Catholic authorized version was first published at Douay in the year 1609. It was the result of forty years' toil and labour, and can fairly stand a comparison with any oth er versiou of the Sacred Sc ri p tures, published in any country, either Popish er Protestant." To the Ministers and Office-bearers of the Wesleyan Me thodist Societies in Manchester, Mr. O'Connell's Letter. To CORRESPONDENTS.—" 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. it, 1618. " 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 acknowledgoi errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors ; or shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind, with as much of its original purity as it is po,sible for human sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."— The Sun, Monday, November 23(1, 1818.

Hebrew, Part, 7th, 1834, New Translation.—" If I were shapen in iniquity, or in sin, my mother had conceived me." Nate.—Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. This verse, as it stands in the common version, is not consistent with the Scripture. The Divine com munication stands recorded in Gen. i. 28. and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Now it must strike every reader with conviction, that as God created man to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not ordain man to be shapen in iniquity, nor to be conceived in sin. The Divine order for the multiplication of the human race is as holy now as at the beginning: it is pronounced to be superlatively good, Gen. i. 31., and this Divine order is sanctioned through out the Scripture, in all its purity, as at the beginning; con firmed by the Messiah, who said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven, Matt. xviii. 14. ; it therefore' (Aim, that if man were shapen in iniquity, and cutmeivedi s n, the Divine insti tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him. Mr. O'Connell is a powerful speaker, a skilful politician, an able advocate for civil and religious liberty, but he should not attempt theOlogy.—The Sun, No. 14,672. " Swift seems to have entertained some gloomy forebodings of the melancholy fate that awaited him. On seeing a tree, the top of which was withered, he shook his head, and ex claimed, I shall be like that tree, I shall die at top." Mr. O'Connell, though having received the friendly admo nition of this paper, in our matter of " dying at top," must still wear his feathers "in his cap of vanity.' " In London," observes Batista Angeloni, in Letters on the English Nation, 1750—" religion seems to be periodical, like an ague, which returns only once in seven days, and then at tacks the inhabitants with the cold fit only, which physicians reckon the most fatal; the burning never succeeds in this country." " Even on their days of worship in their Churches, there is ten thousand times more inattention to their duty, than to the price of stocks in Change-alley all the reet of the week; and the fervour of their devo tion, to obtain a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament, purchasing a good bar gain on the Exchange, or trying to obtain a good place at Court; they are as cool and inanimate(' in their acts of devo tion, as they are warm and active in those of getting riches, and their temples and exchanges are accordingly constructed within for those different dispositions, every family having in their churches a snug pew, a kind of closet, where they can sit and sleep, or employ themselves in anything but their duty to the Highest ; whereas in their places of commercial rendez vous there are no seats, they would be useless there, the zeal of gain keeping them standing to their duty." With this accurate delineation of the " Corporation of the City ef London," where " the fervour of their devotion for a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament ;" and this being the municipal body which gives tone to the institutions of the country, what promoter, we may expect on behalf of a matter " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." It is a melancholy reflection that the " two Estates" distin guished amongst us as " collective wisdom" throughout the realm should have had no deeper feeling towards a linguist of a country than the frequenters of " 'Change-alley." It is now more than 30 years since the eminent linguist Bel lamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of the - highest literary character in the country, the " Classical Journal ;" it is 22 years since we became adherents to his pro mulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the Examiner, and the Chester Chrenicle, 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 vi tuperations 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 injus tice from the press of England. It is pleasingto us to observe a conspicuous personage in our triple state, who was equally unmindful in his day, and of the posthumous fame ef a Prince. Sir Robert Peel has his proper estimation with a portion of the Press. " The Tories quarrel with the Hon. Baronet because of the feeble, shifting, cowardly policy which he has pursued during several Sessions of Parlia ment. We now find this once trumpeted statesman, everywhere inveighed against by those of his own faction, as a sluggish and irresolute, if not a feeble-minded, statesman."— Sunday Times. When malignancy, the characteristic of olden time--for Shakespeare wrote "Dens' evil manners live in brass ; their virtues we write in water"—is so rife amongst us, we conside,r it our bounden duty to break a lance with the assailants of the memory of the Prince and Patron of the Work, " of the ut most importance to the interest of mankind," and a life be yond life"—who Distort the treth—accumulate the lie, And pile the pyramid of calumny I" —English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.—Byron.

TO ?'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—The Sun, of April 13, copied from the Edinburgh Courant a paragraph, in which it is stated that Messrs. Ruthven have taken to them selves the credit of having invented the new method of propelling steam-vessels without paddle-wheels and also the profits of the invention, they having taken a patent for the same. Now the fact is, the invention is, originally, mine ; and the originating idea, and consequent reasoning which led me to the completion of the invention was published by me in a letter to the Limerick Chronicle, of the 11th of May last, of which 1 enclose a copy. The fact is also stated by the editor of that paper, on the 4th of this month. I had neither time nor oppor tunity in the interval to submit my conviction of its practicability to experiment, and even the expense was an objection. Under these circumstances 1 could have no objection to other persons taking that trouble, but that they should assume an abso lute right over the whole, including originality and profit, is more than I am disposed to allow. It may not be a fact that Messrs. Ruthven have secured a patent, in which case I am very desirous that they should fail in obtaining that advantage. I am, however, too little versed in the mechanical world to be aware of the measures necessary to permit such usurpation ; but I understand, that if not too late, a caveat may be entered ; but as such contest would require pecuniary sacrifices, I cannot enter on it. As far as I might have a right of disposal, I would willingly confer the advantage on the pub lic at large, which intention, I think, is ituplied by the fact of my having published it. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, HUGH L. StUA RT. Surgeon, 38th Regiment. (Copy of Letter above alluded to.) TO TILE EDITOL OF THE LIMERICK CFIRONICLE. SlR,—Understanding that carriages may be pro- pelled on railroads by the agency of atmospheric pressure, it has occurred to me that ships may be propelled by the agency of hydraulic or aquatic pressure. In the progress of a steam vessel, a cur rent of water is produced on each of her sides by the concussion of her paddle wheels. To this ne cessary effect, I would propose that the current should be produced through the body of the vessel, and conducted through a pipe or pipes, passing from head to stern, of diameter adapted to the re quired force of current. The action of the common syphon represents in some degree my idea. Pro bably the aid of a small steam-engine and forcing pump might be required to perfect the apparatus. I conceive the vessel would advance by the double influence of the force of suction in drawing the water in ahead, and the force of propulsion, the water being forcibly driven astern. Not having leisure myself to pursue the idea (it being rather out of my line), I am anxious to submit it to thus.e versed in hydraulics and locomotive machinery. Your's, &c MOLITOR. sth May, 1839. To the above, which was published on the 11th May, I added a private note to the Editor as a proof in,reserve of my claim to the communication. [There can be no question that the principle of propelling a steam-vessel by a current of water p ass ing through it, is suggested in the foregoing communication. We should therefore think that, having thus become known to the public, and to a certain extent become public property, it could not be appropriated by means of a patent. It would be rather too much to deprive both the origi -nal discoverer of the principle, and the public to whom he is willing to resign it, of all hencfit, that a third party might enjoy the advantage of a mo nopoly.] PRICE sd. DARING OUTRAGE-CAPTURE OF TWO FOOTPADS. The inhabitants of the town of Guildford and the neighbourhood have been considerably excited within the last few days, on account of a daring outrage that was committed on the night of the llth inst., upon the person of a respectable farmer named Chaleraft, who resides near Godalming. The Rev. Mr. Onslow, a very active Magistrate of the county of Surrey, in con nection with the Guildford police, has been actively en gaged in tracing out the daring affair, but it has hitherto been deemed necessary for the ends of justice, in con sequence of the escape of one of the parties implicated, that the facts should not be made pane. On Satur day an (ntamination into the circumstances of the out rage took place at the gaol at Guildford, when two men, named Edwards and Summerfield, were placed at the bar, and the following facts appeared in evidence : It appears that on the evening in question Mr. Chalcroft.was returning home from Guildford market, between,eight and nine o ' c l oc k i n th e even i ng , w h en just as he arrived at Pecs-Marsh Common, three men dressed in. smock frocks suddenly rushed upon him, and one of tharn seized his horse's bridle, while the other two dragged him to the ground. The men who bad first seized the horse then set him at liberty, and came to his companions, and they all three presented pistols at Mr. Chaslcraft's head, and swore with dreadful im precations that they would blow his brains out if he made the least resistance or alarm. Finding. himself overpowered, Mr. Chalcraft was compelled to submit, and the ruffians then rifled his pockets of a consider able suns, in notes .and gold, and after repeating their threats, they decamped with their booty. Mr. Chalcraft got possession of his horse as soon as he, could, and immediately rode back to Guild ford, and gave information to the police of what had occurred, and Burt, Seabrook, and Handeville, three of the constables, set off in pursuit of the footpads. They made diligent inquiry, but Without any success, for several hours, and they were returning; to Guildford, when at the entrance of the town they met a man carrying a bundle, who answered the description of one of the men given by Mr. Chalcraft. He was challenged, and at the same moment two other men came up, and the officers told them that they must accompany them to the station house, to which they at first readily consented, and walked fiar a short distance quietly, when one of them exclaimed that " lie would be --if he would go any farther," and at the same time drew a pistol from his pocket, and presented it at Burt, and was about to draw the trigger, when the officer, who saw the movement, drew his staff and knocked him down. The other man then drew a pistol from his pocket, and a violent struggle took place between them and the officers, which ended in two of them being secured, but the third man succeeded in getting away, dropping in his flight a bundle, which was af terwards found to contain three smock frocks. The two men who had been secured were then conveyed to Guildford, and placed in the cage, where they were searched, and two pistols loaded with ball were found cpon them, as well as a powder fl.isk and eighteen bullets. Upon one of them there were also found two 10/. notes of the Guildford Bank, anil some gold and silver, and these notes were identified by Mr. Chalcraft, as being the same of which he was robbed as above de scribed. In the course of the inquiry Mr. Chaleraft expressed a wish that one of the prisoners should put on one of the smock-frocks, and the Magis strates requested him to do so, but he refused, and when the officers attempted to force it on him he made a desperate resistance, and it required the united exer tions of six men to place it upon him. When, hosvever, this was accomplished, Mr. Chalcraft expressed his de (tided opinion that he was one of the men who robbed him. Additional confirmatory evidence was also ad. dueed, and after a long investigation the prisoners were ordered to be committed. A printed list of fairs and races was found in the possession of one of the prisoners, and it is supposed that they are in the habit of attend ing places of that description, and that t! , ley have been concerned in many of the footpad robberies that have recently taken place in different parts of the country. THE RIVAL. STEAMERS TO GRAVESEND. On Friday evening a scene of great confusion took place in the neighbourhood of London-bridge, which for some time rendered the situations commanding a view of the river and the Gravesend steam.packets almost impassable. It appears that a new iron steam -vessel, of superior speed, called the Sons of the Thames, has lately commenced running between London and Graves end. She belongs to and is navigated by Ti!dell, Col ley, Busby, and Hollingrun, formerly captains of the Star, Comet, Vesper, end Planet steam-vessels, belong ing to the Star company. These men. ►+ho are great favourites oa the river, and were for many years con nected with the Star company, resigned tire command of the Star steamers, owing to some real or supposed ill-usage they had received from the Company, and de termined on building a vessel of their own. No sooner had she commenced running at the old prices, 1 s 6(1 and 2s. fore and aft, for each passenger, than the Star and Diamond Companies, who possess five large steam ers each, determined to coalesce and crush the intruder. if possible. For that purpose, whenever the " Sons of the Thames" leaves either pier, at Gravesend or Lon don, they despatch a steamer at the same time at the reduced fare of Gd. each passenger, which is just suffi cient to pay the wharf dues. At those times when the Sons of the Thames did not run, the old fares were -charged both by Diamonds and Stars, a proceed ing which gave rise to a good deal of dissatisfaction, as those who were carried one way for 61. expected to return for the same fare. On Friday morning the Mercury, belonging to the Star Company, went down to Gravesend at the same time as Sons of the Thames for Gd. a head, but on her return in the even ing, when the Sons of the Thames did not accompany her, 2s. was demanded, which the passengers refusyl to pay. Great was the confusion on the arrival of the Mer cury, and, to prevent escapes, the vessel was taken away from the wharf with about 150 persons on board, arid moored in the middle of the river, there to remain until they thought proper to pay 2s. each. This detention was loudly complained of—and shortly after the Vesper, with another freight of passengers, arrived, when a similar scene of confusion took place ; the people on board the Mercury hailing the Vesper's passengers not to submit to such an extortion as the demand of 2s. after the boats of the Company had been advertised to run for Gd. About this time the Sons of the Thames, which vessel was advertised to run at Is. in the forepart, and Is. 6d. aft, passed by with 519 pas sengers on board, She was greeted with loud cheers, and cries of "No combination,' from all quarters ; and on being moored alongside Swan Pier, above Lon don-bridge, the passengers gave three cheers for " The Sons of the Thames." The town of Gravesend has been mmerially bene fited by the influx of visitors caused by this steam-boat rivalry ; but it is hoped that the river police will inter fere, and prevent any racing and jockeying between them.

A LIE-LIKE,BUT A TRUE, STORY About fourteen years ago, the late Mr. John ?.trker, manufacturer, had the misfortune to drop 601. in Bank notes. A diligent search was made for the money, and a reward offered for its recovery, but all to no purpose. A whole year passed before anything was heard of it. At that time information was re ceived that a young man named M'Leish, belonging to Lochwinnoch, had been the finder, but that he had spent all the cash excepting ten pounds. Mr. Parker succeeded, through the help of a friendly tailor, in re• covering this remnant, and obtained from M'Leish himself, an account of how he had found and disposed of the money. The bunch of notes was picked up cc Mr. Parker's feet, while he was conversing on the street with some acquaintances. The finder, though quite aware of the dishonesty of appropriating any thing that may be found where the " Highlandrnan fend the tangs," could not resist the temptation of buttoning his breeches pocket on the notes, and making off with his prize. He soon met a crony from Loch winnoch, who had often sympathised with him in " a most awfu' notion," to take a pleasure trip to Edinburgh and the east coast, but had always considered it a hope less wish, because of the expense of going to such a far country. Now, however, M'Leish placed the wished for happiness within his reach, by magnanimously pro posing to his comrade Jock, to set off with him on their long talked of jaunt, and he would bear all the charges. It is unknown whether or not Jock was privy to the manner in which the cash had been obtained, but certain it is, that he acceded as readily to the proposal of his lucky friend, "as a cock jumps at a grosset." It would be needless to attempt a description of all the amazing sights which the money• finder and his comrade saw in Edinburgh, or how they stood in dumb admiration and stared with open mouth, at every thing wonderful. Suffice it to say, that nothing astonished them so much as the discovery they made before leaving Auld Reekie, that M'Leish had got. 301. of his " fun' since' taken from him. This astonishment was not of the joyous sort, but rather grievous ; so, after interjections of its being " most awfu'," and " most desperate," the two pilgrims bent their steps westward, and reached their native village with a pretty well exhausted ex chequer. Thirteen years have now elapsed since Mr. Parker obtained this account of the dissipation of most of his lost money, and recovered ten pounds of it, as the entire balance which then remained ; and this with a promise from 11I'Leish, that he would honestly repay the sum deficient, should he ever have it in his power to do so, was all the satisfaction that Mr. P. ever re ceived. . But, strange to say! a remittance has come within the last few days from'M‘Leisb, who is now in India, of 1001. to his aged father, with directions to ap ply it to pay off all his debts at home. A list of these accompanied the remittance, which is scrupulously minute in its details. Some of the debts entered are only to the amount of a few shillings ; one is only nine pence, and another fourpence. First in the list, how ever, is the 50/. due to Mr. Parker. That gentleman died ten years ago, but the sum just named has been honestly paid over to his widow.—Edinburgh Chronicle Mr. Morison, the Hygeist, since the year 1830, has paid to the British Government 60,000/. for Medicine Stamps, which fact the officers at Somerset House will pi ove. With this data before their eyes, can the public believe what a set. of low, interested doctors say about his hills—low and in terested, because the more respectable part of the profession, such as Sir H. Raiford and others, did, on the trial of Morison r. Harmer, in the Court of Common Pleas, 1837, testify to the curative power of purgative medicines in diseases appa-ently different, the truth of which cannot be doubted, which evidence was taken in short-hand by Mr. Fraser, on the trial, and is ready to be produced. It therefore comes to this—will the people say that the enormous sale of Morison's Pills is a proof of their inefficacy or bad qualities ? Unless they do so, they must treat what the description of doctors before mentioned tell them a perfect humbug, proceeding from sheer interested motives, and nothing else. Who complains of Morison's Pills? Is it the people ? No, but the interested doctors. The dif ference between Mr. Morison and the medical profession is one of theory and practice.—British College of Health, Hamilton place, New-road, April 18,1840. THE LATE MURDER AT ISLINGTON.--Richard Gould, alias Arthur Nicholson, who was on Tuesday last ac quitted of the murder of the late Mr. Templeman in Pocock's Fields, Islingion, was not liberated from Newgate on the night of his acquittal, it being feared that he might be subjected to personal violence from the crowd, which remained round the Sessions -house until long after the trial was con cluded. On the day previous to his trial (it being the custom of the military authorities not to suffer any person connected i: e s d li , sc a h o a d rge fr f o r m om w h th ic e h rt h .g e mheandt deserted, with the army, charged with a capital offence, .to be tried 1.1 transmitted from' the Horse Guards to the Governor of was On Wednesday afternoon, between.

COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. In the forthcoming Report of the Commissioners ap pointed to inquire into the Laws relating to Bankrupts and Insolvents, with the view of an amalgamation, it is understood that the principal recommendation will Le' the annihilation of imprisonment for debt in the first instance ; that is to say, that a debtor should be heard without; going to prison, as is now the case with insol vents, and to continue at large until a specific case of fraud or an individual complaint should be proved against him--a co nsummation much to be wished • It is an undoubted fact that there a re confined at: th e pre sent time no less than " three hundred and fifty per sons" in Whitecross-street Prison, besides a n um b er werei eon bail ; making about a third m ore than im prisoned last year. I t is true that the numbers in have been dimi nished, th e Queen's Bench and Fleet prisons nished,and that in both there are not two hundred and fifty prisoners. The Imprisonment l e - lj mont s but the hbeen in operation nearly eighteen ebt Bill h as busi ness in the Insolvent Debto's Cott anything, to a very small extent, as is has d ecr eased, if cases now before the C ourt, and the " evidenced . t." number sons in custody. The officers of per and the Fleet have obtained l of the QP.Cen's Bench inserted . by the Duke of NVellision'':under the clause mentioned Bill. It is es c :ington in the above subsequently acquired - r e ected that the question of feature in the rev.- property will form an important The ort. l'‘..ur .' Df 4 :;i.ors' Courtns recently furnished by the Insolvent actually been paid show within afew . years, out of . .. subsequent property, and there is a considerable sum in Court un claimed. Should im • prisonment in the first instance, be abolished, men will have an opyortunity of declaring i ther insolvency, and not have to 'hope against hope," offthe i and by p u tti ng evil day get further in to debt, .1 and at length become inmates of the prison. A great number of cases that conic before the Insolvent Debtors Court are on friendly executions, and in many instances lead to perjury. Creditors for a large sum will not `pay the Sheriff's poundage, and when a debtor fi n d s he cannot go on any further, lie procures a friend to put him into prison, in order to clear him of his dn.. culties. -- The Havipshire Advert iser states that Govern ment has officially announced their selection o f Southampton a' li 1 , the station for the mail steamers to the West Indie s ai , ' America.

We understand that the Earl of Aberdeen, with all his anxiety to help the Kirk out of the mire in which it has sunk, has abandoned the attempt in de spair, as utterly hopeless, and has written to Dr. Chalmers that he does not now intend to bring any Bill into Parliament. This intimation must prove " a heavy blow and great discouragement" to the rebel lious clergy—their " independence" crotchets being now thrown overboard by sensible men of all parties. Con nected with this subject, we have heard on Unquestion able authority of a rebuff which the same party recently received from another Nobleman, who Was formerly considered one of the pillars of the Church—the Marquis of Tweeddale. A minister of the wild party in the Church, near Haddington, wrote this Nobleman shortly before the day appointed for the election of an elder to represent the Presbytery in the General As sembly—an office formerly filled by the Marquis—re ferring to the approaching election, and to the opinions understood to be held by hint against the " indepen dence" doctrine, which the Rev. Gentleman charac terised as opposed alike to the best interests of the Church and to her 'standards. The Marquis answered to the effect, that, if hi s op i n i ons were so h e t e rodox, it was the duty of the Church to deal with him accordingly ; and that, in such circumstances, he would not agree to b e re t urne d to th e Assembly. Theimport of this correspondence having got wind, another minister wrote the Marquis to inquire whether the report was correct that he had declined being re turned as an elder, and if so, requesting to be favoured with his reasons. The Marquis replied that the re port referred to was quite correct ; and that, believ ing the conduct of the majority of the Presbytery of Haddington, in countenancing rebellion against the law of the land, and in inculcating their independent doctrines throughout the county, to be subversive of all law and order, and that such principles, if sue tessful, would inevitably lead to an ecclesiastical despo cism, which he held to be the most intolerable of all despotisms, he had, for these reasons, declined to coun tenance the proceedings of the Church, or to allow himself to he returned as an elder to the General As sembly. We understand that the Marquis was desirous that the ministers should give publicity to the corre spondence, but they thought it the best policy to keep the matter as secret as possible. Alas for the Church, when all the great men in whom she trusted desert her. —Scotsman. KEW BOTANIC GARDENS.—The Royal 80. tanie Gardens at Kew have lately been much visited, on accoun of the notice that was taken of them owing to their proposed abandonment. This idea now seems to have been given up, as the walks have been just laid down with gravel, the turf has been repaired, and the houses cleaned. The adjacent gar dens of the Duke of Cambridge have also undergone some extensive changes and improvements. The Royal Botanic Garden's were established Hi 1760, "chiefly by the influence of the Marquis of Bute, who was- a gre+sit encourager of botany. There are seven principal bouses,4most of which show the great activity , and enterprise of Sir Joseph Banks, in obtaining plants from New Holland and other parts. The arboretum adjoining contains several fine variegated oaks, and many aca cias. 'I here are here also several temples, which .have a pie turesque effect, the most prominent having been built by the late Princess Amelia. Oae of the gardeners attends each company round the grounds. There are eight of these in con stant occupation, but four more ale to be added to-day from the expected influx of visitors. The gardens are open every day from one o'clock until dusk. MR. FITZROY KELLY •S INTENDED BILL TO ATIOLI•N ALL CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS EXCRP T FOR MURDER. —lt will be interesting to our readers to be informed that o ur talented Member, Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, has given notice of moving for leave to introduce a Bill into the House of Com mons, to abolish the punishment of death in all cases with the exception of murder. Mr. Fox Mauls having answered '' in the negative the question pu!, by Mr. Kelly, as to whe ther Ministers intended to bring if the the ee Learned Gentleman above notice was given ; Gentleman proposes to introduce, should pass into a law this Session, as may confidently be expected it will, the stain of blood—for every offence save one—will be entirely rem ove d from the British code, and we shall have no longer to deplore so much of the useless sacrifice of human life. Whatever may be the current of political feeling in this town, it must be g,ra tilving to all parties to see that one of its r e p resentat i ves has so nobly stepped forward to rescue the country f rom th ose de moralising eihib itions with which ithas been so frequently dis graced.— Ipswich Journal. FATAL ACCIDENT. --An inquest was held at the Infirmary on Wednesday last, on the body of Thomas Wal ton, a labourer , l a t e ly employed on the Ma nc h es t er an d B o l ton R a il w ay, who came t o his death from injuries received from being jammed between two waggons. Mr. Smith, house-sur geon 4t the Infirmary, stated that the deceased was admitted there on the I Ith March last, having sustained a compound fracture of the left leg. Amputation was performed imme diately, but he died on Tuesday, last. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidentally killed. THIMBLERIGGING EXTRAORDINARY.--One day last week as Mr. Jabez West was returning home to Col . lingharn, he was induced to try his luck with a pea and thimble gang, who were sporting by the road side, near Langford Church, but, alas ! the fat es were a g ainst him , and he quickly found himself in arrear 131. Having only Si. in his pocket, they wanted to take his horse and gi g for t he 131 ., but Mr. ' West not agreeing to that, they took the 8/., agreeing to wait I whilst Mr. West drove off to Colliiighara fqr the 5/. tro balance. Or, second thought, however, it appears they jud ge d h e m i g ht bring something with him, and therefore decamped with what they had gut, no doubt being perfectly sitisfied. —Derbyshire Chronicle. clock yesterday T n About sevennt q, alarming fire broke out on the preMises of Henry of Sutton, in this county.
