JOHN THOROGOOD has been confined in
the Common Gaol of Chelmsford since the 16th of
Jannuary, 1839, for not paying a Church. rate of ss. 6d.
In consequence of his long confinement, his business has re-
ceived so much injury, that his friends. propose a pub'ic sub-
scription, for the purpose of saving his affairs from utter ruin,
and as a testimony to him and to the country that they sympa.
thize in his sufferings, and honour the principle of religious
liberty, which is violated in his person.

Treasurer, Clapham Common, and on his account at Messrs.

A list of prices will be sent to any respectable stationer in
answer town application made free of postage as above.
B. and L. particularly caution the trade against the impose
ing pretensions of itinerant venders of pencils, whose spurious
wares are frequently stamped with their name; and they re-
quest that it may be observed that their genuine drawing
pencils have the words Augustus Langdon impressed on each.
No hawker or pedlar whatever is employed by them either in
town or country.

N.B. A handsome tray supplied gratuitously with an order

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."-4-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."---.

First and Second Replies to the Quarterly Review, showing
the gross errors the Reviewer has made in his Remarks on the
New Translation of the Bible.

" 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 'dignified.' 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 ?"-L-Eitracts. See
