JEW TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE.
" It was said by the Noble Duke (Wellington) that those
opinions were contrary to the opinions held by the University 07
Oxford. He (Viscount Melbourne) had great respect for that
University, but he could not admit that the University of Ox-
' ford was to be deemed infallible in these matters. On the
contrary, it was well known that the opinions of the reformers
who brought about the reformation in the Church were entirely
opposed to those of the University of Oxford. It was well
known, that if the opinions of that University had been ad-
hered te, the Protestant religion would never have been esta-
blished. The opinions of Locke were opposed to those of the
University; and if their opinions only were to be consulted, every
thing liberal, noble, and ingenuous in our institutions would never
have been established. "—Viscount Melbourne's speech in the
House of Lords on the debate on the Earl of Radnor 's mofion re-
specting the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.—The Morning
Herald, Friday, Dec. 22, 1837.
" The abrogation of a catalogue of oaths, which were too childish
to he remembered, even by a lot of matriculating boys—which com-
pelled nothing in practice, and involved nothing in principle—as a
satisfactory first step towards University reform, is either a farce or
a fraud. We shall watch matters of this nature with some vigil-
ance. In this department of the Guide, our name is legion."—The
Guide, Nov. 11th, 1837.
" Had they no fears that if Oxford were brought
within three hours' journey from London, that instead of the reve-
rential few who now come within their hills, like pilgrims, to wor-
ship and admire, that the busy eye of inquiry might be induced to
ask how came it that when monasteries were suppressed, that such
establishments 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, anti gray, with all their trum-
pery !"—Sunday Times, No. 820. ( See also The Sun, Dec. 27,
1838.)
" It would have been better, we think, if the friend of the
learned Prelate, who sent us the coramunication, had also favoured
us with a copy of the particular charge of the Bishop to his Clergy,
which contains the censure on the " Tracts for the Times." The
earliest and strongest censure in such a case would have been the
best. It ought not to have been left by the accredited guardians of
the purity of the Protestant reformed faith, and the settled services
of the Church, to ourselves and other writers is the daily Press, to
vindicate the principles of the Reformation from the encroachments
of a Papistical spirit, springing up in the Church itself, and de-
grading with sorceries of superstition the majestic simplicity of her
Christian character."—Morning Herald, Dec. 31, 1838.

This Bank is established on the principles of the Joint Stet,lk
Banks in Scotland, the complete success of which is demonstrated
by the following extract from the official Share List of 25th
somber, 1838, showing the state of Five Banks of this description,
carrying on business in Edinburgh.

Paid-up Capital .£4,601;,000
Most of these Banks have besides paid large Bonuses to their
Proprietary, and all of them have allowed Interest vn Deposits.
The remaining seventeen Joint-stock Banks in Scotland are in
the same flourishing condition, and such, indeed, has been the pro-
gress of the system that of the many private Banks formerly carrying
on business in Edinburgh only one exists at present.
There are only three Joint Stock Banks in Landon, with a paid
up capital of 1,000,0001.2 the Shares -of all of which are at a high
Premium.
It is the intention of the Directors to allow interest on deposit
accounts, under proper rules and regulations, which, with other
details as to the transaction of business with the Bank, will ho
hereafter announeed.

As a sufficient capital has already been subscribed to enable the
Directors to commence business immediately, they have resolved,
in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise
in other undertakings from an unrestricted appliCation for shares,
and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona
fide proprietors, will not. entertain any application unless made
in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accom-
panied by a payment of 21. upon each share applied for, the Di-
rectors reserving to themselves at the time of appropriation the
right to reject or comply with such application either in whole or
in part; the money to be returned without deduction, if the appii.
cation be rejected, and if accepted to be placed to the credit of the
party in respect to the shares allotted to him.
It is not in contemplation to call up more than 101, per share for
the next two years.
Deposits, in accordance with the printed forms, may be paid,
and prospectuses obtained, as under :
London—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings,

" Not only do we owe to the happy Reformation all the domestic
advantages by which we are distinguished above other States, but
it is also to the Reformation we are indebted for our present poli-
tical consequence and tereitorial grandeur." . . . . " Then
sprung up the mighty Elizabeth, and mingling her existence as a
Sovereign with the preservation of the true faith (we hope like
Hermione, She lives !'—Winters Tale) lashing herself to the
mainmast of Reformation; on that vessel she securely rode the
storm, and established the independence of her kingdom."—The
Times.

" The article entitled ' Papal Conspiracy,' in the Number of
the Quarterly Review' just published, has been considered, and
with justice, as an appeal to England on behalf of the Protestant
King and people of Prussia, against the encroaching spirit and ar-
bitrary tyranny of the Court of Rome and its political agents. "
