certainly much to the credit of the author of the ' Remarks'
that he rejects those lame helps,' the sister dialects." • • •
" But you have entirely passed over the vast destruction of
the infant children in Egypt, as recorded in the common ver-
sion. I have shown, so as not to admit of a contradiction, in
truth, that no such destruction was ever executed on the first-
born, but on the bekor,'--the firstling of the animal in their
tabernacles, which was the object of' their idolatrous wor-
ship." • • • " Here I shall close my remarks
concerning the speaking of the ass, by observing, that though
you have given the reader to understand that the ass literally
spoke, the obvious sense in which Maimonides understood the
matter was, t'iat the messenger spake, and not the ass. WAY,
it is time you should get rid of such childish notions. To say
any thing more on your absurd conclusions, would be a total
waste of time. Depend upon it that, whatever they may now
do, asses never spoke in the days of Balaam."—Extracts.

Whitaker.
" 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 conjugation 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 of 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 solutioWof 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."

STOCKPORT, MONDAY, AUG. 19.—The Char-
tists of this town and neighbournood are quiet, but private
meetings continue to be held, and it is said that in the
district of llvde, a populous place, about four miles from
here, a search for arms is about being made. It was ex-
pected that a disturbance would have taken place here on
Saturday night, but fortunately no attempt to.break the
peace was manifested. The intention of the Chartists was
to hold a public meeting in the eyeing in the open air for
the purpose of considering the sentences of the prisoners
recently convicted at Chester, and committed from this
town, and the authorities, prompted by their fears for the
public safety, sent an express to Chester to Mr. Sadler,
the Superintendent of the Stockport police, who, with his
establishment, were at Chester, witnesses against the pri-
soner ; 1,500 special constables have been sworn in in the
town, and furnished with arms from the Home-office, and
a detachment of the 86th Regiment are stationed in the
barracks. The authorities were determined, in the event
of a meeting, to take the most effectual means of dispers-
ing it, and this coming to the ears of the Chartists, they
abandoned their intention, and contented themselves
by holding a private meeting, which was at-
tended by the delegates from the neighbouring populous
places. The town appears in an uneasy state, as groups
of people congregate in the streets talking over their real
or imagined grievances, and discussing the events of the
past week, the justness of the sentences of the Chartists,
tiae. The sentence upon Stephens seems to be universally
deprecated, many thinking that he was unjustly convicted,
and others that his sentence was too severe, taking it for
granted that a case was made out against him. It did not
appear on the trial of Stephens that he had advocated the
principles of the Chartists, and it is well known that at all
their meetings he denounced Universal- Suffrage, Vote by
Ballot, and the rest of the points as revolutionary ,and
calculated to subvert our ancient institutions, for which he
has always professed to have the highest reverence. He
attended the Chartist meetings, in order to obtain the
support of tae people in his opposition to the New Poor-
law Bill ; and it is thought that the prosecution was com-
menced by the Government, not because ho had attended
a Chartist meeting, but because be had so strenuously
opposed the introduction of the Bill into the manufacturing
districts. The cotton trade here appears to be improving,
and the work people are offered work every day in the
canpechnester
week.— Times.
MANCHESTER, AUG. 19.—This morning, at
the Borough Court, John Kay, who was apprehended
on Saturday, was placed before the Magistrates, charged
, on the
with conspiring with others to resist the laws of the
realm, and to cause riots and breaches of the peace. A
policeman, named Walter Smythe, stated that he attended
air, and at-
tended by a great number of persons. The prisoner,
3alsChartist
John Kay, was the Chairman of the meeting. The wit-
ness then proceeded to state what had been said and
.July lmeetingast . ltat wasilu Imh

done at the meeting, and Thomas 'Taylor, another po-
liceman, confirmed the evidence of the last witness. Mr.
Taylor, for the prisoner, contended that there was no
case against him, as no seditious language had been
proved against him. Mr. Maude, the Magistrate, said
that the prisoner, as Chairman of the meeting, was acting
in concert with the rest of the speakers. The prisoner
was committed to take his trial at the Liverpool As.
sizes. Smith and Bolton were not yet taken, but warrants
from the Secretary of State are out for their apprehension.
The town of Manchester is pet fectly quiet, but the mills are
working short time, and great distress prevails.
A NEW SURGICAL CASE.---A few days since
a boy belonging to the British Schocl. Trowbridge, broke
a blacklead or a slate pencil into his ear, and so far had it
gone in, and still so short was the piece, that it bade de-
fiance to the attempts of one eminent medical man to ex-
tract it, and a second would not make the attempt, but
recommended the mother to take him to Bath, where he
would, at the hospital, be 'sure to meet with proper atten-
tion, and be judiciously treated. Accordingly she was
preparing the boy for a jaunt, and was preparing due
ablutions on his face, when the boy, not behaving quite so
well as his mother thought he ought, she gave him a smart
box with the palm of her band on the ear (but not the ear
which was affected), when, strange to tell, out came the
pencil ! The cure was wrought as if by magic, the jour-
ney saved, and all by a good sound box on the ear.—Bath
Post.
