TVIITATION TEA.—Since the great advance 1 on TEA caused by the suspension of Trade with China, we have discovered that the disgraceful practice of adultera tion has increased to an enormous extent. When we inform the Public that many pretended cheap shops are selling what they call Tea for less than genuine Tea can be bought at, it must be obvious to all the unprincipled manner in which it is accom plished—how are these parties to sell at a less and pay rent, taxes, and twenty shillings in the pound, except by adultera tion ?—how is it they also sell sugar at a loss? The answer is obvious—by adulteration. Such being the case, we respectfully invite the public to try our TEAS, trusting by this time we have established a confidence that, though not quite so low in price, they will be found to possess that eminent quality, purity. SPARROW and CO., No. 31, Charing-cross, nearly oppo site the Admiralty. No connexion with any other house of the same name. More Country Agents Appointed. TO STATIONERS AND OTHERS.

Si ilomons' perfet:tly successful treatment of her sight, and submits her own peculLr case Id confirmation of the strong and deserved recommendations Ills Spectacles have received, and of Mr. !I Solomons' high professional stailelitft. COUNTESS CONSTANTIA CLIFFORD To Mr. E. Solomons, Optician, 36, Old Bond-street. From Sir Anthony Cari:sle, F KS. Mr. E. Solomons' Patent Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to at- I ford additional aids to imperfect vision, and, because of their superior refraeiting power to glass or other dense materials, they promise to af ford new resources for the construetion of Spectacles.

SEW TRANSLATION of the BIBLE. " Mr. D.

" Fifthly, the Reformation in England was brought about by the instrumentality of some of the most wicked men the world ever saw ; Henry Vlll.—the adulterer, perjurer, murderer I"—P.ege 7, Address to the English People. " But of the countries we have above mentioned as being peculiarly Protestant, it is remarkable that Protestantism was introduced into England by Henry VIII, and into Denmark by Christern 11., two of the greatest monsters that ever disgraced not only the Throne, but human na ture."—Page 42, Mr. O'Connell's First Letter to the Wesleyan Societies in Manchester.

On which that Prince pitched on thesis for this purpose, and by his Royal Decree appointed them to make a new translation."—P. 372.

M., Chaplain to the Right Hon. Thomas Earl of Mahon, and Minister of Margate, in Kent, 1739. "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 look, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821. " 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, to these vsilic living htheoLd nt h a a in v s e , ha fr d om acc w es he s f a h nd th h e a y ar ved e ba ra d n e kp r i r e ed plentifully the llyat tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and p rivilege.

" Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image ; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, embalmed and treasured up on kill& the image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a man a good book is the precious to a life beyond life. It* is true, no age can restore a master-spirit , but purpose es do not life, but revolutions of ag oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the l l i i v fe e - s b a loo b r d o e f n a worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we • t living labours of public men, how we blight raise agoras the a t s h t e e r earth -s that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books ; since 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 not 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 aw ay h a d 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. e did not cast a general condemnation on the clergy of that period, for many of them had fully thine their duty; but he regretted that so golden an opportunity had passe, an opportunity that would take the greatest labour and energy of those anxious to impose on the rising generation to reclaim. The Sun, No. 14,657, August the Bth, 1839. "We cannot on this occasion lay down our pen w i t h out en deavouring to impress on the religious and Protestant part of the community, the unspeakable importanc e of, speedily taking measures to purify and purge the Church." " If there be truth or c onsistency in man, sincere Protes tants must turn against those who have given such prodigious advantages to the Popish sup er stition. '---The Morning Sun, Tuesday, September, 10, 1839. " I -- may therefore conclude, that upon this revision— Bellamy's—of the Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought to be hid, as anticipating a closer approximation in sentiment among 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 other version of the Sacred gcriEtures, Published in an y cou n t ry , either Popish or Protestant. Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example and incitement. Shall the Bible, with its many acknowledged errors, descend to posterity polluted with all those errors ; or shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind, with as much of its original purity as it is possible for humart sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."—.

Hebrew, Part, 7th, 1834, New Translation.—" If I were shapen in iniquity, or in sin, my mother bad conceived me." Note.—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 rs corded 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 begindng; 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 f o ll ows , th at if man were shapen in iniquity, and conceived in sin, 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 rest of the week ; and the fervour of their devo tion, to obtain a scat 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 inanimated 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 of London," where " the fervour of their devotion for a seat in Paradiie 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 divulgod 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 Chronicle, are the only Papers amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be " of the utmostimportance 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 pleasing to us to observe a conspicuous personage in our triple state, who was equally unmindful in his day, and of the posthumous fame of 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 " Miens evil manners live' in brass ; their virtues we write in water"—is so rife amongst us, we consider it our bounden duty to break k lance with the assailants of the memory of the Prince and Patron of the Work, " o f t h e ut most importance to the interest of mankind," and a ' life be yond life"—who Distort the truth—accumulate the lie, And pile the pyramid of calumny !" —English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.—Byron.

THE FARMER'S and GENERAL FIRE and LIFE INSURANCE, and LOAN and AN NUITY INSTITUTION. (To be empowered by Act of Parliament. ) TEMPORARY CiIAMBE RS—Farmer's Magazine Office, Norfolk- street, Strand. CAPITAL, 500,000/, In Fifty Thousand Shares •f 101. each, Deposit 11. per Share. r No further sum is likely to be called for, as the accruing premiums will render such further call unnecessary ] The Farmer's Fire and Lite Institution is not a mutual In surance Office. Shareholders will only be liable to the amount of their Shares. The Capital so produced being much more than can ever be required to meet the demand upon the Office. Immediately upon the first division of profits, a tenth part will be applied in such proportions as may from circumstances appear most advisable in aid of the establishment of Farmers' Clubs, and in prizes for the encouragement of deserving agri cultural labourers. Should the funds be such as to admit of a considerable sum being devoted to the latter object, it is con fidently hoped that the feelings of the agricultural labourers will be enlisted in the protection of property, rather than in abetting or conniving at incendiarism. Another tenth to be reserved as a Rest to add to the Capital Stock, and the remaining four-fifths to be annually divided among the Shareholders. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. GENTLEMEN, I apply for Shares in The Farmer's and General Fire and Life Insurance, and Loan and Annuity Institution, and engage to pay the Deposit of One Pound on each Share, or on such portion of them as may be allotted to me, to the Bankers .f the Institution, or their Agents, when ever called upon. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, To the Directors of " The Farmer's and General Fire and Life Insurance, and Loan and Annuity Institution." Applications for Shares, Agencies, or information, must be addressed, postpaid, to W. S. Northhouse, Esq., Parliamentary Agent, or to W. Shaw, Esq., Farmer's Nlagazine Office, 24, Norfolk-street, Strand, London. The Allotment will •speedily take place. SUMMERING TISE HUNTER.--S 0 much dis cussion has taken place on this debateable ground that to repeat the arguments pro and con would be to tell a thrice or oftener told tale ; and I can hardly hope that decies repetita placebit. I shall therefore put a few " civil questions" to those gentlemen-graziers who ad vocate the " summer -run" system. Is not your horse turned out for the purpose of resting him, and of bring ing round his legs, which begin to chow symptoms of work ? Is not a certain quantity of food at a time and at regular hours best for a horse ? Will grass put a horse in condition ? Do you not say that you turn him out to keep his feet cool and moist ? Now I should be glad to know whether a horse at grass will rest as much as one kept in a loose box, and led out every day as long as is good for him. Whether it is not better to feed him yourself on a certain quantity of food, giving green meat as a gentle physic if you will, than to suffer him to fill his belly from morning till night ; and, in short, never to have his stomach empty. My third question I need not answer, as the first care of every man, on. taking up his horse from grass, is to get rid of its 1,a,), effects by grooming, and regular work ; and as fr...,r the feet, if they cannot be kept sufficiently cocv't in the stable, why, as the Americans say, "it is k pi'ty." For kicks, bruises, strains, coughs roaring, 'broken -wind, staggers, &c., &c., let the sins of the grazier, who will alone suffer from them, be visited lightly upon his soul in purgatory, but not so lightly tr., on that of the man who increases his horse's, corrjorts by personal super intendence in the stable, t t unremittin g care from one year's end to the ot3):er.—Old Sporting Mayazixe for December. The library of the late Dr. Butler, Bishop of Lichfield, is said to have cost him nearly 80,0001.

E. M. L. Mostyn, Sir Richard Bulk*ley, Bishop of Chester, &c. Colburn's ".United Service" for January, opens the thirteenth year of its uvdul career with an excellent Number. The article on " The Military Establish ments and Discipline of the Chinese," to use a favourite expression of Burke's, hits between wind end water at the presentmoment. The interest excited byTecent events at Canton, renders any account of the character, organi zation, estimated for ce , an d di sc i p li ne of the Chinese arms interesting, and all these particulars are amply detailed in the paper. The extreme difficulty of obtain ing any information on this important subject greatly enhances its value. It appears that the Chinese army, at the present day, consists of about 1,000,000 infantry, and 800 000 cavalry, but that, according to the Em peror Cam Hy, " They are good soldiers when opposed to bad ones, but bad when opposed to good Ones." Mr. Allen continues his series of articles on " England's Wooden Walls," taking for his present subject the im mortal " Victory." " Col. Pasley's Operations at Spit head." and Major Charter's " Notices of Cape and Southern Africa," increase in interest, and the Bayonet controversy receives a fresh impetus. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.—The Secretary to the UniverSal Suffrage Association a•t Glasgow wrote letters to the two Members for the city, Messrs. Os wald and Dennistoun, and to Mr. J ohnston, the Secre tary of the Anti-Corn-law Association, requesting them to attend a public meeting at the Bazaar, on the 3d or Gth instant, to discuss the question of Universal Suffrage. 'Po the revisition the first replied that his attendance would 'not serve any useful purpose ; the second, that he could not admit their right to summon him before P.lem, and the last that such a step would be ineen 3; :stent with his duty. ET:TENSIoN OF THE METROPOLITAN ACT. `•'•A meeting of the inhabitants of Woolwich took place on Thursday evening, for the purpose of taking into consideration the proposed extension of the metropoli tan police into that district, (erroneously stated in some of the papers to have already taken place). The Rev. Mr. Greenlaw, the Rector, presided ; and on account of the very strong feeling in the parish upon the sub ject, the room was crowded with inhabitants, and the proceedings created a good deal of interest. Several speakers addressed the meeting, and an almost universal feeling appeared to prevail against the extension. Ulti mately, resolutions deprecating the introduction of the police to Woolwich were unanimously agreed to, and a memorial founded upon these resolutions was they drawn up, and arrangements made to present the saws to Lord Normanby..
