NEW TRANSLATION OF THE
BIBLE.
" Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, Ged'i
image ; but ho who destroys a good book, kills reason itself,
kills the image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a man
lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious
life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on
purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a
life, but revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a
rejeated truth, for the want of which whole nations faro the
worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we
raise against the living labours of public men, how we blight
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 net in the
slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and
fifth essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immor-
tality rather than a life."—Areopagitica, Milton.
To COILRESrONDENTS.—" 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 reastetfrbilieve 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 ; er
shall it be transmitted to the latest generations of mankind,
with as much of ids original purity as it is possible for human
sagacity, knowledge,
and diligence to elucidate and confirm."

"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 took, and long commentaries have
been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and
propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.

the gross errors the Reviewer has made in his Remarks oa 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 ?"—Extracts. See

Authorised Version and Douay Bible, Psalms, chap. 51, v. 5,
" Behold ! I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me."
Hebrew, Part, 7th, 1834, New Translation.—" If I were
shapen in iniquity, or in sin, my mother had 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 recorded in Gen. i. 23. anti 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 beginning; 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' ollsaws, that if man
were shapen in iniquity, and coticeivedi i n, the Divine insti-
tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him.

DON MIGUEL'S DECLARATION.--(FrOM the
Italian journal, entitled La Voce de la Verita, of the I 1 th
instant.)—The King, my master, being informed of the un-
favourable effects which an article in the Allgemeine Zeitung,
of March Bth, has produced on some of his faithful subjects,
has been pleased to order me to declare that every thing therein
contained, relative to the alleged tendency or disposition of his
Most Faithful Majesty to abandon or renounce his claim to
the throne of Portugal, and to sacrifice for money those rights
which belong to him in virtue of the fundamental constitution
of the kingdom and the will of his people, is evidently false,
and fabricated for a purpose which is not perceived by those
only who do not understand the prevailing revolutionary spirit
of the present age. His Majesty is, therefore, desirous that
this solemn declaration should, on his part, also be. made
through tie medium of the press. This declaration will be
ratified, should such a step appear necessary, by a new protest
by his Majesty, declaring his determination never to abdicate
even in the extreme case, when such an act, so contrary to the
principles of honour, and the gratitude due..to hip ,faithful Sub..
jects, might seem imperative and indispensable.—Given at his
Majesty's present residence in Rome, March 27, 1840.--Fua
FORTUNATO, Archbishov of Evora.
LONGEVITY.-1 here is now living at Black-
marston, Hereford, a female named Elizabeth Cooper, who is
101 years old, and yet retains full possession of her mental fa-
culties ; her memory is good, and she speaks of events that oc-
cured eighty years ago, with the most perfect recollection. Her
sister, who was two years older than herself, died a short time
ago. Such an instance of two sisters attaining this extreme
old age, is perhaps unprecedented.
A HINT.—(From a Correspondent of the
Anti- Corn-Law Circular. )—Wherever the gable end of a
house, barn, or other out-office presents itself to:a turnpike-road
or great thoroughfare, there ought to be an inscription upon
it condemnatory of the starvation laws. The idea has occurred
to me that there is not and cannot be a cheaper method of dif-
fusing information than the above. Whitewash a gable-end'
and then in different coloured letters, a foot long, let all who
ride as well as walk past read the popular anathemas against
the most infamous of human laws. There are, I am sure,
thousands of individuals in this kingdom who would allow such
a use of their property.
The formation of Reading Societies, Book Clubs,
and Family Literary Circles, throughout England, Scotland,
and Ireland, is now carried into effect with so little trouble,
and they are supplied with all works for perusal upon such ad-
vantageous terms, that we shall not be surprised at their being
very generally established in every county of the United King-
dom—especially as the plan and particulars, with a select cata-
logue describing all the valuable modern publications down to
May 1840, is now to be had, gratis and postage free, on appli-
cation to Mr. Bull, public librarian, 19, Holles-street, Caven-
dish-square.

We beg to direct the attention of our readers to
the following extract of a letter addressed to A. Rowland anil
S 20, Hatton-garden, London, from Hamburgh, dattd
15th February I have also the pleasure to inform you of
another decided proof of the efficacy of your celebrated Macas-
sar Oil. Dr. Roding, of this place, had a patient who was
bald for several years, and who had tried several articles for the
recovery of his hair, but without effect, until he was advised
by the Doctor to make use of your oil ; after using three bottles
he entirely recovered it, and has now a much finer head of hair
than formerly. Dr. R. felt so gratified at its success, that he
made a drawing of the recovered hairs (magnified), which he
herewith sends." Rowland's Macassar Oil prevents hair from
falling off, or turning grey; changes grey hair to its original
colour ; frees it from scurf and dandruff ; and makes it beauti-
fully soft and curly. In dressint, hair, it keeps it in curl, &c.,
unimpaired •by damp weather, the dance, or in the exercise of
riding.—*,,* Ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil."

All the instruments formerly employed for re •
licving deafness are now far superseded by the Voice Conductors
invented by Mr. E. Solemons, Nos. 36, Old Bond-street, and
1, Old .Jewry, City. The delicacy and minuteness of the con-
struction are extraordinary, being only a quarter of an inch in
diameter. They may be worn quite unperceived. The vi-
brating quality of the metal of which they arc formed enables
persons in church, theatre, or public assembly, to hear the voice
of a distant speaker with perfect distinctness; indeed, they may
be pronounced a masterly performance, and the inventor merits
all the patronage which talent and ingenuity have the privilege
of claiming. His Patent Amber Spectacles extend greater
relief to the visual organs than those formerly adopted—to per-
sons reading or engaging their sight at any minute employment
by day or candle light, they will be found an indispensable ac•
quisition, as the eyes are never fatigued from their use. This
is attributed to the valuable mineral of which they are com-
posed being of the most healing nature to the sight. It must
be highly satisfactory to Mr. Solomons to find the Principal
medical authority in Europe using them, and strongly recom-
mending their adoption to all persons requiring the aid of
spectacles.
BOAT RA c E.—A la amateur boat-race, which
excited great interest, came off on Thursday at Passy, the gigs
starting from the Pont du Champs de Mars on one side of the
Isle de Louviers, pulling round the point, and the la inning post
being placed under the Pont de Grenel. At two o'clock both
boats were ready at the starting-Post, one a beautiful four- oared
gig of Sir Sidney Smith's, rowed by Mr. Aitchison, stroke
oar, Mr. Paterson 3, Mr. O'Sullivan 2, Mr. Cookson 1, Mr.
A. Paterson ,(coxswain). The other, a four-oared gig, be-
longing to Mr. Peters, the crew consisting of Mr. Chichester,
stroke oar, Mr. Peters, junei3; Mr. Smith 2, Mr. Cochley 1,
Mr. Peters (coxswain). At the word " off" being given by
Captain Hatton, both boats started well, Sir Sidney's gig taking
the lead at first, but on reaching the baths, about half way up
to the Point, Mr. Peters boat shot ahead, and kept, the lead
for about 20 yards, when again Sir Sidney's gig went in ad-
vance, and rounded the point about three boat's length before
the " artful dodger." Sir Sidney Smith's boat was not again
caught, her crew rowing right away from their adversaries,
and ultimately winning by about 14 boats' lengths. There
was a large assemblage on the Isle de Louviers to view the
match, and the winners were received amidst cheers and
waving of handkerchiefs.
GREENWICH RAILWAY.—Some idea may be
formed of the immense influx of visitors to the Easter fair at
Greenwich from the following authentic statement of the re-
ceipts at the railroad alone during three days Easter Sun-
day, 505/. 15s. ; Monday, 1,0381. 6,- Id• ; 'Tuesday, 584/.
Os. 9d. ; total, 2,128/. 10s. 10d. The returns for IVednesday
have not yet been accurately ascertained, but it is said they do
not differ materially from the receipts of Tuesday. The
cushions, which were taken out of the carriages during the
holidays in consequence of some of them being wilfully damaged
on Good Friday, were on Thursday replaced. Not a single
accident occurred during the bustle occasioned by the Constant
running of the trains.
• -

OF PARTY.—Party spirit, it is well
known, runs often to extremes. There is an admirable in-
stance of this exemplified in the Vale of Leven at the present
time. There is a suspension bridge over the Leven, connect-
ing the village of Bonhill and Alexandria. The tacksman
renting the toll of this bridge, is a true specimen of the narrow
Church party, and on Sunday allows passengers of his persua-
sion to cross and re-cross the bridge for one halfpenny, while
he charges the Dissenters one penny.—Scots Times.
