NEW TRANSLATION of the BIBLE.
" All the King's—(Henry the Eighth's)—proeeedings
convincing the Pope that he was to expect no change in him,
he published at length 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."
" Grafton, the printer, printed 1,500 at his own charge,
which amounted to 5001. !' —History of England, by Raptri,
p. 819.

" He, who by a ililigent and faithful examination of the ori-
ginal records, diminishes from the system one article which con-
tradicts the apprehension, the experience, or the reasoning of
mankind, does more towards recommending the belief, and, with
the belief, the influence of Christianity to the understandings
and consciences of serious inquirers, and through them to uni-
versal reception and authority, than can be effected by a thou-
sand contenders for creeds ordinances of human establish-
ment."—Paley.
" Patriotism is a scandakus game, played by public men for
private ends, and frequently little better than a selfish struggle
for power.

He must be a narrow-minded, short-sighted statesman,
who does not see and acknowledge that National Morality, pro:
ceeding from religious principle, is essential to the peace,
the prosperity, the permanency of this and every Christian
country. '
" No man upon earth, I trust, can have more enlarged sen-
timents of toleration than I have, but the Church of Rome is a
persecuting Church, and it is our interest and duty, on every
principle of religion and common sense, to guard ourselves
against her machinations."

-"
Give every Bishop income enough, not for display of
worldly pomp and fashionable luxury, but to enable him to
maintain works of charity, and to make a decent provision for
his family ; but, having done these things for him, take from him
all hopes of a translation by equalizing the bishoprics. Oblige
him to a longer residence in his diocese than is usually prac-
tised, that he may do the proper work of a Bishop ;- that he
may direct and inspect the flock of Chri,t ; that by his exhor-
tations he may confirm the unstable, by his admonitions reclaim
the reprobate, and by the purity of his life render religion
amiable and interesting to all."

" We do not allow that there are any infallible interpreters of
the Bible, on the contrary, we maintain, that Fathers, Churches,
and Councils, have erred in their interpretation of this book, in
their decision concerning particular points of faith. This we
must as Protestants maintain, or we cannot justify our having
emancipated ourselves from the bondage of the Church of
Rome."—P. 117, Bishop Watson's Life.

" 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
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 known when they were endowed, they
are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlitt's Table
Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828.
" The heads of houses at Oxford, are not s) obtuse of mind
as not to see that if the privileges and possessions, gradually
and imperceptibly accumulated by them, were brought into
collision and contest with the awakened perception and increas-
ing strength of mind of the community at large, their interest
must be deeply involved in the struggle. . . . . . Had
they no fears that if Oxford were brought within three hours'
journey from London, that instead of the reverential few who
now come within their halls, like pilgrims, to worship and ad-
mire, that the busy eye of inquiry might be induced to ask how
came it that when monasteries were suppressed, that such esta-
blishments were maintained as those of Oxford and Cambridge,
with monastic discipline and rites, where celibacy was enforced
by statutes, amid other remnants of monkery, the relics of . '
. . . . Eremites and friars, white, black, and gray, with
all their trumpery !"—Sunday Times No., 820.

"We obseiwe- in a pamphlet, Anti-biest,' 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.

To COARESPONDENTS.—" 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 utmost 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. 5,
1818.

" 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 human
sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."—.

" I now proceed to examine the passage which the Reviewer
has adduced to prove how grossly I have erred in translating
the word gnaaroumin, prudent, instead of naked ; which is in
Job, c. 22. v. 6. And stripped the naked of their clothing.
This is, perhaps, one of the passages which he deems elegant,'
' simple,' and It is simple' enough, surely ; and
such simple passages abounding in the common version have in
all ages excited the wonder of intelligent men. Stripped the
naked of their clothing !' In the name of common sense, if
they were naked, how could they be stripped ?"—Extracts. See

Authorised Version, Deuteronomy, chap. 14, v. 22 :—" Thou
shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed."
" It is a well-known maxim of nglish law, suggested by
common sense, and recognised by every principle of justice, to
infer, that the long and uninterrupted enjoyment of a civil
right must have originated in a regular grant from the original
owner, although no express evidence can be produced of
existence of such conveyance." On Tithes.—Quarterly Re-
view, No. 53.
New Trans!ation A tenth thou shalt tenth, of all the
increase of thy seed." Note—Onkelos, the most eminent of
all the learned Rabbis, who lived before the dispersion of the
Hebrews, and consequently made the translation of the Sacred
Volume into Chaldee at that period when the Hebrew was a
national language, he thus translates the clause—gnasaara
tignsarah, " a tenth thou shalt tenth," which is the same as
the Hebrew. The Septuagint a5;,..2-,-0 ct73'6soE3:a-rcoa-Ft (both
Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The

Ilearned Selden, Le Clere, and other great authorities on
tithes, say—" It is not likely that the Levites shiuld have had
a tenth of the whole produce of the land, because the number
of the tribe of Levi, compared with the numbers of the other
tribes, was so trifling. Neither could it, be of all the produce
of the land, but of the increase of the seed; as it is truly said
in the common version : for the increase must necessarily have
been that part of the produce after the seed employed to give
the increase, had been returned to the grower out of the gross
produce; otherwise it could not have been said it was the " in-
crease of the seed."
" The Council of Calcuith, or Calchite, held in 785, or, ac-
cording to others, in 787, on account of erecting Lichfield into
an Archbishopric, ratified the Canons of a Synod that had been
c4mvetpd just before in Northumberland. Gregory and
Theophilact, who presided as the Pope's Legates, acknow-
ledged, in their letter to the Pope, that they were the first that
had been sent into England with that character. The follow-
ing are some of the Canons of the Synod of Northumberland,
ratified by the Council of Calcuith:—` Bth. The ancient
privileges of the Church are carefully to be preserved. The
17th urges the payment of Tithes from the authority of the Law
of Moses.' "
" Ethelwulph's reign furnishes us with a subject, which,
though mentioned elsewhere, it will not be amiss to repeat a
little more largely of in this place; I mean the grant of Tithes.
The Charter runs thu :-
6' 'I, Ethelwulph, by the grace of God, &e., have, for the
health of my soul, and good of my people, taken the prudent
resolution of granting the tenth part of all the lands throughout
my whole kingdom to the Church and Ministers of Religion,
&c. &c.—Dated the Palace at Wilton, in the year 854, Indic-
tion the second, at the Feast of Easter."
The terms, date, and subscription of the Charter, have in-
duced several learned men to believe it spurious. But without
entering into the controversy, I shall content myself with ob-
serving, that long before this Charter the Clergy of England
claimed a right to the Tithes, if they were not already actual
possession of them. This is evident from the 17th Canon of
the Council of Calcuith, held in 785, where we find they urged
the payment of Tithes from the Law of Moses. If this Char-
ter, therefore, is not to be considered a forgery, it seems at least
to be of very doubtful authority. Add to this, that by the
tenth part of the lands must necessarily be meant the tenth part
of the profits ; which must be owned to be a very forced inter-
pretation, especially in a primordial Act such as this."—Page
111, Rapin's History of England.
From the above readings the following scale is deducible :
Allowing agricultural produce to realise thirty per cent., which
is absolute—tithe impost to be included—and increase being
considered synonymous with produce—a tenth is 131. per cent.
Here we must observe we think the imposition of three half-
pence in every shilling quartern loaf a severe infliction for our
spiritual edification. Albeit it would almost pass without a
murmur, but that our hallowed Faith enjoins us " To feed the
hungry—and its denunciations are upon those who are unmind-
ful of "the child of misery baptised in tears."
Ethelwulph's Charter.—A tenth of the profit, 3/. per cent.
Hebrew. New Translation.—A tenth of a tenth taken on
produce, 265. per cent.
Hebrew.—A tenth of a tenth, on the increase or profit, 6s.
per cent.

" In the House of Lords, the debate being on the state of
Ireland, the Earl of Liverpool said, The Noble Lord had in-
sisted on tithes, a property to which the Church had a right.
He could not go quite the length of his Noble Friend, and be-
lieved that ultimately the question must come under the con-
sideration of Parliament. 1-4 Hear, hear.)—See Morning
Herald, June 20, 1823.
There is the recorded vote of the House of Commons to 10
per cent. property or income tax ! being oppressive.
Under the operation of the property tax an esquire whose
principal of 10,000/, netted him WO/. per annum, paid to the
State 501., under the operation of the tithe composition, an out-
lay of 500/. subjects the cultivator to the same 50/. ; this, in-
deed, is " th' oppressors wrongs ;" but thank God, we seem to
outlive this. _ _

Hodges wished to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of
her Majesty's Government to introduce in that House, or the
other House of Parliament, a Bill to amend and explain the
Tithe Commutation Act?
Lord J. Russell was understood to say that it was the inten-
tion of Government to introduce a Bill for that purpose.—The
Sun, June 14, 1839.
It being to the Editors of the Sun and the Examiner must
be conceded the onslaught on behalf of majesty and mind, here
we must observe, we consider we are fully warranted to mike
our appeal to them to reassume their post of honour—" do
this deed of worth"—as we have maintained the field " through
good report, and through evil report"—our impulse of action
being to render our country " like a Greek ship, where every
man has his stake in her," and that "peace may have her vic-
tories no less renowned than war."

66 The reader will, by attending to the answers I have given
to the remarks in his book and in his Appendix, from a proper
judgment of this gentleman's great opinion of his abilities in
Hebrew, when he finds that the Third person singular of the
verb is made the plural—the. Third person singular preter of
the verb is made the Participle active—the adverb instead of
the verb—the common plural They instead of Them—pronouns
where they are not in the original—errors in conjugat►on sanc-
tioned—the Masculine rendered Neuter—palbable errors, which
sanction the remarks of Deists, countenanced—obscenities at-
tempted to be confirmed, which are not in the pure word of
God—absurdities admitted—the characters of the holy men of
God represented as immoral and wicked.'

.‘ Luke xvi. 9. And I say unto you, make to yourselves
friends of the mammon 07 unrighteousness ; that when ye fail,
they may receive you into everlasting habitations. Such a
command certainly could not be given by our Saviour. This
verse remains in the state it was in when first translated out of
the native language of Judea, in the early ages of the Christian
Church, not translated : and this is the case with numbers
where the Hebrew words have been retained by the translators
in Greek. I call upon Mr. Todd, and the writer of the Cri-
tical Inquiry, to favour the public with the solution of the above
difficulty. 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 original Inspired Volumes
were corrupt.'"

" As the University is implicated, by the Syndics defraying
the expense of the publication called A Critical Inquiry, it will
be something new in the annals of that high seat of learning,
and will be heard with astonishment in the Continental Univer-
sities, that a book containing such dangerous and infidel dog-
mas, calculated if believed to shake the faith of all Christen.
dom, is printed at the expense of the Syndics of the University
of Cambridge, written by a man who says that the Third per-
son singular of the verb is also the participle active."

FrHE CHUNK PATENT STOVE,
_K. invented•by Mr R. PROSSER, Civil Engineer, is distin-
guished from all others by its entire freedom from dust or
smoke, its great economy of fuel, and its perfect safety from
fire. It has been a source of great comfort in the nursery and
ned-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature
through the day and night, with only one supply, while the
most delicate test cannot detect anything arising from its use
which is injurious to health—it merely warms the air without
decomposing it ; and, as there is no door, none of the gases
generated by combustion can pass into the apartme't.
Wherever warmth is required, this Stove is applicable. It is
as desirable for the drawing_room as the laundry ; for warming
greenhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the very great
expense of building flues, and afterwards the immense con-
sumption of fu.l, being avoided. For workshops and ships'
cabins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in
twenty-four hours, during which time the cost will not exceed
twopence. Price, Plain, 31. ; Fluted, 31. 10s.

EFFECTS OF BEAUTIFUL SCENERY..—An in-
stance or two may be given of the effect of remarkable
scenes upon sensitive minds. A distinguished man, well
known as an elegant religious author, and exhibiting in his
works a peculiar delicacy of perception of natural beauty,
sat and wept like a child when he first looked down upon
the Gareloch from Baremman, su singularly bounded by
the Castle point, the promontory of Ardmor, the distant
hills of Renfrewshire ; the exquisite harmonies of the
landscape were too much even for his eye, so familiar with
beauty. Another, scarcely less known, from a different
point, thus affected with the contemplation of the same
objects, one fine summer morning, the writer heard
exclaiming, " 0 ! this is too much, this is too much !"
and then his feelings were relieved by bursting into tears.
After a long silence, absorbed in gazing from Tamnahara
on the rugged forms of the mountains rising abruptly from
the waters of Loch Long and Lochgoil; " Never"—did a
certain graphic author thus exclaim, creating terms for
what he admired-- Never did I seo such specimens of the
statuary of nature." An English artist accompanied the
minister one day to a cottager, who was labouring under
very acute disease. He betrayed no peculiar emotion as
he heard the groans of the poor man, so expressive of his
intense endurance. No sooner, however, had he crossed
the threshold, than he exclaimed—" 0, nature 1 0, man 1"
waving his hand towards the glories he looked upon. The
contrast was indeed irresistible. How much of the
primeval order and beauty seemed to adlirn what sur-
rounded the cottage—how much the misery of man's
primeval folly dwelt within it !—Areto Statistical Account
of Scotland, No. 23, just published.
