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 b amiss to repeat a
little more largely of in this place; I mean the grant of Tithes.
The Charter runs thus :
" I, Ethclwulph, by the grace of God, &c., 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 851, 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 in 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 thin Chaa-
ter, therefore, is not to be considered a forgery, it seem 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
interpretation, especially in a primordial Act such as this."—
Page 111, Rapin's History of England.
" The plan which I have to unfold may at first appear start-
ling, . . . to introduce within the Christian Church.
It may appear to encroach by those who have strenuously ad-
vocated the sacredness of the clergy's income, and entered
their decided protest against any reform being necessary, as re-
lating to ecclesiastical affairs."—Espilon Theta.
"The King, Henry the Fourth, representing to the Parlia-
ment his great want of an extraordinary aid, the Commons
went in a body and addressed him, That without burdening
his people he might supply his occasions by seizing the revenue
of the clergy.' f he Archbishop of Canterbury resisted—the
Commons brought in a Bill to seize the clergy's revenues—
the solicitations of the Archbishop were so prevalent with the
Lords, that they threw out the Bill, so the Commons were
forced' to find other means to supply the King's occasions ; the
clergy granted a tenth and a-half."—Page 495.
" The Commons, willing to comply with the King's
(Henry V.) demand of a subsidy, presented an address, praying
him to seize the clergy's revenues. The clergy perceiving
their ruin inevitable, came to the resolution to resign a part of
their riches to the King in order to save the rest."—Page 509,
Rapin's History of England. (I.)—See the Sun, Nos. 14,628,
14,662.
No mention, Bishop Barlow observes, is made of tithes
in the grand codes of canons, ending in the year of our Lord
457, (which, next to the Bible, he considers as the most au-
thentic book in the world). During all that period, there-
fore, both the clergy and the Church appear to have been sup-
ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious."—See
Selden on Tithes, amt Barb. Rem. 169.
" Tithes, from the Saxon word Teoda, which signifies the
tenth part of a thing, may be defined to be the tenth part of
the increase yeariy, arising and renewing from the profits of
land, the stock upon lands, and the personal industry of the in,
habitants."-2 Black. Corn. 24.
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 quartean loaf a severe infliction for our
spiritual edification. Albeit it would almost pass without a
murmur, but that our hallewtd Faith enjoins las " To feed the
nungry"—and its denunciations are upon those who are unmind-
ful of " the child of misery bal.tised in tears."
Ethelwulph's Charter.—A tenth of the profit, 31. per cent.
Hebrew. New Traaslatior —A tenth of a tenth taken en
roduce, 265. per cent.
Hebrew —A tenth of a tenth, on the increase or profit, 6s.
per cent —An Insight to " Forced Interpretation."
We cull from the " blaze of eloquence" of immortal Milton
the epitaph for the patron of this work—" Revolutions of ages
do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of
which whole nations fare the worse."
" In the House of Lords, the debate being on: he 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."—(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 10,0001. netted him 5001. per annum, paid to the
State 50/., under the operation of the tithe composition, an
outlay of 5001. subjects the cultivator to the samesol. ; this, in-
deed, is " th' oppressors wrongs."
" The alarm excited by announcing a proposed continuance
of the income tax was now beginning to operate ; and the city
of London commenced an opposition by presenting to Parlia-
ment, on Feb. 8, two petitions against the tax, one from the
Lord Mayor, Alderman, and Common Council, the other from
the Lord Mayor and Liverymen, both expressed in strong lan-
guage, respecting the odious and inquisitorial nature of the
tax. The Ministers and their adherents increased their efforts
to make it appear that the opposition to the tax was fastened
by popular clamour and party manoeuvres. This attempt re-
ceived a final defeat by a petition, presented on Marcie IS, by
Sir William Curtis, from the merchants, bankers, and traders
of the city of London. The number of signatures was L 02,000.
March the 18th the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the
continuance of the obnoxious tax several other speakers fol-
lowed on each side. At length every voice was drowned in the
cry' of question, and the House divided, when the numbers were,
for the continuance of the tax; 201, against it 238, majority 37.
When the result was announced, a long and loud cheering arose
in the House, which was re-echoed by the crowd that filled the
lobby and avenues, and the event was felt throughout the na-
tion es a relief from an oppressive burden."—Annual Register
for I‘l6.
" It has been presumptuous," so we read in the pithy
Examiner, No. 780, " to dabble in chemistry ; to look through
a telescope ; to inoculate for the small-pox ; to abate the viru-
lence of a pestilential disorder by the salutary assistance of a
cow ; lastly, and we trust the argumeht will be deemed con-
clusive—to read the Bible. And in what has all this pre-
sumption generally consisted? In the anxiety of some men to
know- more than it was convenient for other men they should
knew. The moment the daring inquirer discovered a truth--
a truth !—which threatened to militate against a profitable
system of error, then the' awful secrets' were invaded—the
ark of the sanctuary' disturbed. Any Barabbas of the day
was milk-white compared with the daring offender : in a word,
away with him.' Could great men thunder,' says Shaks-
peare, ' there would be nothing but thunder.' Could they
make a thirst for knowledge sinful and presumptuou', there
would be a most inconvenient multiplicity of awful secrets.'
Having now emerged from the honourable estimation in the
community, we take leave to mention a few whose great names
gave permanency to the system.

jected to a direct taxation, amounting on the rent, tithe, and
poor-rate, to 33 per cent !"

It is now more than thirty years since the eminent linguist
Bellamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical
of the highest literary character in the country, the " Classical
Journal ;" it is twenty- two years since we became adherents to
his promulgations, and with an intent •watehfulness, The Sun,
the Examiner, and the Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers
amongst the range, who hare promoted the matter held to be
" of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a

This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental
Despots," we rather say Sovereigns of Europe, or " the cruel
and faithless bigot," and it may go to assuage the acerbity of
vituperations against them, when one whose purport was and is
" of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and
" a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled
injestice from the press of England.—We hope this will not be
overlooked by the Germanic Diet on the regulations of the

industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour-

" In this volume we 'nave the autobiographical memoir of a man,
whose career in lite has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer
dint of perseverance, and" showing a gallant front to misfortune,
had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success.
The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accorn
plished by energy and good conduct ; and it is written in a cheerful
and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has
effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout,
rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating some of these
diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has
added reasons explanatory of his system, so that he who runs may

consideration the rich and valuable endowments which are al-
ready possessed by the Established Church of England and
Wales, as well as the large sums of public money hick have
been granted far Church Extension since the year 1809.
" That her Majesty will be graciously pleased to consider

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
the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis-
translated passages, which give meanings 'tiled opposition to
the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent then-
logians as any in the whole , hostilean dlotnogtlemointrmucenntierainin

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, Dee. a,

" 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 ,ewers

4, What complaint does the bulk of the people make of the
Legislature? It is charged, in the case of the Corn-laws—
openly and distinctly charged, with inflicting hunger, disease,
and death on large portions of the community to enrich its
members. It cuts down the population, as Lord Ashburton
affirms. It curtails the supply of food, it limits the demand
for and the *wages of labour. It plunders the working-cla,ses
to put wealth in the pockets of the Aristocracy. All these
things are the very reverse of its duties. It •holds power to
cherish and protect the people, and is highly criminal if it
shorten a life unnecessarily one day, or misappropriate one stick
of the property of the obedient people."—The Sun, No.

gate the mandate of the Deity himself, (2) though what we
submit " may at first appear startling," emboldens us.
This train of thought leads us to entertain the idea that it is
a national degradation; that those in the receipt of from 3,0001.
to 30,0001. per annum should" writhe from the hands of pea-
sants their hard-earned pittance" of three-halfpence in a loaf,
andthistwch for the support of an Establishment of high in-
tellectual character. The country's dignity demands the
abolition.
Therefore we hope that her Majesty will be pleased to pro-
mote an assessment of one-half per cent. on all houses at a rent
of 501. per annum, 11. per cent. on all houses at 100/. per an-
num ,• two per cent. on all at 2001. per annum ; three per cent.
en all at 2001. upwards at the annual rent-charge. This paid
into her Majesty's Exchequer, the Clergy to be paid by a gra-
duated scale.
We pray her Most Gracious Majesty " hear us for our
cause," that it may disarm every depraved mind against her
" sacred person," and that no—
" Peasant shall have cause to say,
Heaven shorten Victoria's happy life one day."
