NEW TRANSLATION of the BIBLE.
1N "Mr. D. O'Connell denominates the most tolerant

man in Europe, the amiable KingOfFru;;;;;:Cruel and
faithless bigot,' because he will not suffer a turbulent
Romish Bishop to make war with impunity on the funda-
mental laws of his dominions."—The Times, Saturday,
Nov. 2, 1839.

" Fifthly, the Reformation in England was brought about
by the instrumentality of some of the most wicked men the
world ever saw ; Henry Vlll.—the adulterer, perjurer
murderer I"—Page 7, Address to the English People.
" But of the countries we have above mentioned as being
peculiarly Protestant, it is remarkable that Protestantism
was introduced into England by Henry VIII, and jet°
Denmark by Christern 11., two of the greatest monsters
that ever disgraced not only the Throne, but human na-
ture."—Page 42, Mr. O'Connell's First Letter to the
Wesleyan Societies in Manchester.

ham, rose, and was received with hearty cheers. He said,

the Great Meeting of the Catholics (Papists) of London,
" Messieurs de Beausobre and L'lnfant, Ministers of the
French Church at Berlin, represented to the late King of
Prussia, that the French translations of the Bible began to be
neither so intelligible nor agreeable to be read as they were at
first, and that therefore to be edified by them required that
they should be revised, or a new translation made. On which
that Prince pitched on them for this purpose, and by his Royal
Decree appointed them to make a new transiation.' —P. 372.
A Complete History of the several Translations of the Holy
Bible and Testament, into English, both in MS. and in Print,

and of the most remarkable editions of them since the invention
of printing, by John Lewis, A.M., Chaplain to th• Right Hon.
Thomas Earl of Mallon, and Minister of Alargate, n Kent,

1739.
" We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Deist,' published by
Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, e. 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, 11121.
" University Education." " The great resorts and seats of
learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as
the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great
measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse,
knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other
sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, tc
which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at
these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the
tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege.
All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred
years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they
are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will
not budge, whatever wasnot known when they weri.endowed, they
lare still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlitt's Table
Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828.
" Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's
image ; but he 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
rejected 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 ;
sine* 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
faith essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immor-
tality rather than a life."—Areopagitica, Milton.
National Education.—" The Bishop of Norwich said the
race of clergy which was now passing away had had the most
favourable opportunity of instituting schools in their parishes,
and of educating the people in the principles of the Church of
England. If this had been done thirty years ago, and educa-
tion extended to teaching the children obedience to and re-
spect for the law, and the frugal husbanding of their means, it
would have been impossible to have raised infuriated bands of
malcontents like the Chartists of the present day, and England
would have a very different aspect. He did not cast a general
condemnation on the clergy of that period, for many of there
had fully done their duty ; but he regretted that so golden an
opportunity had passed—an opportunity that would take the
greatest labour and energy of those anxious to impose en the
rising generation to reclaim."
The Sun, No. 14,657, August the Bth, 1839.
" We cannot on this occasion lay down our pen without en-
deavouring to impress on the religious and Protestant part of
the community, the unspeakable importance of speedily taking
measures to purify and purge the Church."
If there be truth or consistency in man, sincere Protes-
tants must turn against those who have given such prodigious
antages to the Popish superstition."—The Morning Sun,
Tuesday, September, 10, 1839.
I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision—
Bellamy's—of the Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought
to be laid, as anticipating a closer approximation in sentiment
amen.. all denominations of Christians now at variance with
each other, upon certain disputed points of doctrine—under this
impression, I think all must subscribe to its importance„"...-
Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824. "
The Catholic authorized version was first published at
Douay in the year 1609. It was the result of forty years' toil
and labour, and can fairly stand a comparison with any other
versiou of the Sacred Scriptures, published in any country,
either Popish er Protestant."

To the Ministers and Office-bearers of the Wesleyan Me-
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."—The Sun, London, Saturday, Dec. it,
1618.
" 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 acknowledgoi
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 po,sible for human
sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."—

has adduced to prove how grossly I have erred in translating

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."
Nate.—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. 28. and 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' (Aim, that if man
were shapen in iniquity, and cutmeivedi s n, the Divine insti-
tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him.
Mr. O'Connell is a powerful speaker, a skilful politician, an
able advocate for civil and religious liberty, but he should not
attempt theOlogy.—The Sun, No. 14,672.
" Swift seems to have entertained some gloomy forebodings
of the melancholy fate that awaited him. On seeing a tree,
the top of which was withered, he shook his head, and ex-
claimed, I shall be like that tree, I shall die at top."
Mr. O'Connell, though having received the friendly admo-
nition of this paper, in our matter of " dying at top," must
still wear his feathers "in his cap of vanity.'
" In London," observes Batista Angeloni, in Letters on the
English Nation, 1750—" religion seems to be periodical, like
an ague, which returns only once in seven days, and then at-
tacks the inhabitants with the cold fit only, which physicians
reckon the most fatal; the burning never succeeds in this
country."
" Even on their days of worship in their Churches,
there is ten thousand times more inattention to their
duty, than to the price of stocks in Change-alley all
the reet of the week; and the fervour of their devo
tion, to obtain a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to
that of procuring one in Parliament, purchasing a good bar-
gain on the Exchange, or trying to obtain a good place at
Court; they are as cool and inanimate(' in their acts of devo-
tion, as they are warm and active in those of getting riches,
and their temples and exchanges are accordingly constructed
within for those different dispositions, every family having in
their churches a snug pew, a kind of closet, where they can sit
and sleep, or employ themselves in anything but their duty to
the Highest ; whereas in their places of commercial rendez-
vous there are no seats, they would be useless there, the zeal of
gain keeping them standing to their duty."
With this accurate delineation of the " Corporation of the
City ef London," where " the fervour of their devotion for a
seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in
Parliament ;" and this being the municipal body which gives
tone to the institutions of the country, what promoter, we
may expect on behalf of a matter " of the utmost importance
to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life."
It is a melancholy reflection that the " two Estates" distin-
guished amongst us as " collective wisdom" throughout the
realm should have had no deeper feeling towards a linguist of a
country than the frequenters of " 'Change-alley."
It is now more than 30 years since the eminent linguist Bel-
lamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of
the -highest literary character in the country, the " Classical
Journal ;" it is 22 years since we became adherents to his pro-
mulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the
Examiner, and the Chester Chrenicle, are the only Papers
amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be
" of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a
life beyond life."
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 vi-
tuperations 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 injus-
tice from the press of England.
It is pleasingto us to observe a conspicuous personage in our
triple state, who was equally unmindful in his day, and of the
posthumous fame ef a Prince. Sir Robert Peel has his proper
estimation with a portion of the Press. " The Tories quarrel
with the Hon. Baronet because of the feeble, shifting, cowardly
policy which he has pursued during several Sessions of Parlia-
ment. We now find this once trumpeted statesman,
everywhere inveighed against by those of his own faction, as a
sluggish and irresolute, if not a feeble-minded, statesman."—
Sunday Times.
When malignancy, the characteristic of olden time--for
Shakespeare wrote "Dens' evil manners live in brass ; their
virtues we write in water"—is so rife amongst us, we conside,r
it our bounden duty to break a lance with the assailants of the
memory of the Prince and Patron of the Work, " of the ut-
most importance to the interest of mankind," and a life be-
yond life"—who
Distort the treth—accumulate the lie,
And pile the pyramid of calumny I"

IMPROVEMENT IN STEAMERS.

TO ?'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR—The Sun, of April 13, copied from the
Edinburgh Courant a paragraph, in which it is
stated that Messrs. Ruthven have taken to them-
selves the credit of having invented the new method
of propelling steam-vessels without paddle-wheels
and also the profits of the invention, they having
taken a patent for the same. Now the fact is, the
invention is, originally, mine ; and the originating
idea, and consequent reasoning which led me to the
completion of the invention was published by me
in a letter to the Limerick Chronicle, of the 11th
of May last, of which 1 enclose a copy. The fact
is also stated by the editor of that paper, on the
4th of this month. I had neither time nor oppor-
tunity in the interval to submit my conviction of its
practicability to experiment, and even the expense
was an objection. Under these circumstances 1
could have no objection to other persons taking
that trouble, but that they should assume an abso-
lute right over the whole, including originality and
profit, is more than I am disposed to allow. It may
not be a fact that Messrs. Ruthven have secured a
patent, in which case I am very desirous that they
should fail in obtaining that advantage. I am,
however, too little versed in the mechanical world
to be aware of the measures necessary to permit
such usurpation ; but I understand, that if not too
late, a caveat may be entered ; but as such contest
would require pecuniary sacrifices, I cannot enter
on it. As far as I might have a right of disposal,
I would willingly confer the advantage on the pub-
lic at large, which intention, I think, is ituplied by
the fact of my having published it.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

HUGH L. StUA RT. Surgeon, 38th Regiment.

TO TILE EDITOL OF THE LIMERICK CFIRONICLE.

SlR,—Understanding that carriages may be pro-
pelled on railroads by the agency of atmospheric
pressure, it has occurred to me that ships may be
propelled by the agency of hydraulic or aquatic
pressure. In the progress of a steam vessel, a cur-
rent of water is produced on each of her sides by
the concussion of her paddle wheels. To this ne-
cessary effect, I would propose that the current
should be produced through the body of the vessel,
and conducted through a pipe or pipes, passing
from head to stern, of diameter adapted to the re-
quired force of current. The action of the common
syphon represents in some degree my idea. Pro-
bably the aid of a small steam-engine and forcing
pump might be required to perfect the apparatus.
I conceive the vessel would advance by the double
influence of the force of suction in drawing the
water in ahead, and the force of propulsion, the
water being forcibly driven astern. Not having
leisure myself to pursue the idea (it being rather
out of my line), I am anxious to submit it to thus.e
versed in hydraulics and locomotive machinery.
Your's, &c
MOLITOR.

sth May, 1839.
To the above, which was published on the 11th
May, I added a private note to the Editor as a
proof in,reserve of my claim to the communication.
[There can be no question that the principle of
propelling a steam-vessel by a current of water
passing through it, is suggested in the foregoing
communication. We should therefore think that,
having thus become known to the public, and to a
certain extent become public property, it could
not be appropriated by means of a patent. It
would be rather too much to deprive both the origi-
-nal discoverer of the principle, and the public to
whom he is willing to resign it, of all hencfit, that
a third party might enjoy the advantage of a mo-
nopoly.]

DARING OUTRAGE-CAPTURE

OF TWO FOOTPADS.

The inhabitants of the town of Guildford and the
neighbourhood have been considerably excited within
the last few days, on account of a daring outrage that
was committed on the night of the llth inst., upon the
person of a respectable farmer named Chaleraft, who
resides near Godalming. The Rev. Mr. Onslow, a
very active Magistrate of the county of Surrey, in con-
nection with the Guildford police, has been actively en-
gaged in tracing out the daring affair, but it has hitherto
been deemed necessary for the ends of justice, in con-
sequence of the escape of one of the parties implicated,
that the facts should not be made pane. On Satur-
day an (ntamination into the circumstances of the out-
rage took place at the gaol at Guildford, when two men,
named Edwards and Summerfield, were placed at the
bar, and the following facts appeared in evidence :
It appears that on the evening in question Mr.
Chalcroft.was returning home from Guildford market,
between,eight and nine o'clock in the evening, when
just as he arrived at Pecs-Marsh Common, three men
dressed in. smock frocks suddenly rushed upon him, and
one of tharn seized his horse's bridle, while the other
two dragged him to the ground. The men who bad
first seized the horse then set him at liberty, and came
to his companions, and they all three presented pistols
at Mr. Chaslcraft's head, and swore with dreadful im-
precations that they would blow his brains out if he
made the least resistance or alarm. Finding. himself
overpowered, Mr. Chalcraft was compelled to submit,
and the ruffians then rifled his pockets of a consider-
able suns, in notes .and gold, and after repeating their
threats, they decamped with their booty. Mr.
Chalcraft got possession of his horse as soon as
he, could, and immediately rode back to Guild-
ford, and gave information to the police of
what had occurred, and Burt, Seabrook, and
Handeville, three of the constables, set off in pursuit
of the footpads. They made diligent inquiry, but
Without any success, for several hours, and they were
returning; to Guildford, when at the entrance of the town
they met a man carrying a bundle, who answered the
description of one of the men given by Mr. Chalcraft.
He was challenged, and at the same moment two other
men came up, and the officers told them that they must
accompany them to the station house, to which they at
first readily consented, and walked fiar a short distance
quietly, when one of them exclaimed that " lie would be
--if he would go any farther," and at the same time
drew a pistol from his pocket, and presented it at Burt,
and was about to draw the trigger, when the officer, who
saw the movement, drew his staff and knocked him
down. The other man then drew a pistol from his
pocket, and a violent struggle took place between them
and the officers, which ended in two of them being
secured, but the third man succeeded in getting away,
dropping in his flight a bundle, which was af-
terwards found to contain three smock frocks. The
two men who had been secured were then conveyed to
Guildford, and placed in the cage, where they were
searched, and two pistols loaded with ball were found
cpon them, as well as a powder fl.isk and eighteen
bullets. Upon one of them there were also found
two 10/. notes of the Guildford Bank, anil
some gold and silver, and these notes were
identified by Mr. Chalcraft, as being the same
of which he was robbed as above de-
scribed. In the course of the inquiry Mr.
Chaleraft expressed a wish that one of the prisoners
should put on one of the smock-frocks, and the Magis-
strates requested him to do so, but he refused, and when
the officers attempted to force it on him he made a
desperate resistance, and it required the united exer-
tions of six men to place it upon him. When, hosvever,
this was accomplished, Mr. Chalcraft expressed his de-
(tided opinion that he was one of the men who robbed
him. Additional confirmatory evidence was also ad.
dueed, and after a long investigation the prisoners were
ordered to be committed. A printed list of fairs and
races was found in the possession of one of the prisoners,
and it is supposed that they are in the habit of attend-
ing places of that description, and that t!,ley have been
concerned in many of the footpad robberies that have
recently taken place in different parts of the country.

THE RIVAL. STEAMERS

TO GRAVESEND.

On Friday evening a scene of great confusion took
place in the neighbourhood of London-bridge, which for
some time rendered the situations commanding a view
of the river and the Gravesend steam.packets almost
impassable. It appears that a new iron steam -vessel,
of superior speed, called the Sons of the Thames, has
lately commenced running between London and Graves-
end. She belongs to and is navigated by Ti!dell, Col-
ley, Busby, and Hollingrun, formerly captains of the
Star, Comet, Vesper, end Planet steam-vessels, belong-
ing to the Star company. These men. ►+ho are great
favourites oa the river, and were for many years con-
nected with the Star company, resigned tire command
of the Star steamers, owing to some real or supposed
ill-usage they had received from the Company, and de-
termined on building a vessel of their own. No sooner
had she commenced running at the old prices, 1 s 6(1
and 2s. fore and aft, for each passenger, than the Star
and Diamond Companies, who possess five large steam-
ers each, determined to coalesce and crush the intruder.
if possible. For that purpose, whenever the " Sons of
the Thames" leaves either pier, at Gravesend or Lon-
don, they despatch a steamer at the same time at the
reduced fare of Gd. each passenger, which is just suffi-
cient to pay the wharf dues. At those times when
the Sons of the Thames did not run, the old fares
were -charged both by Diamonds and Stars, a proceed-
ing which gave rise to a good deal of dissatisfaction, as
those who were carried one way for 61. expected to
return for the same fare. On Friday morning the
Mercury, belonging to the Star Company, went down
to Gravesend at the same time as Sons of the
Thames for Gd. a head, but on her return in the even-
ing, when the Sons of the Thames did not accompany
her, 2s. was demanded, which the passengers refusyl
to pay.
Great was the confusion on the arrival of the Mer-
cury, and, to prevent escapes, the vessel was taken away
from the wharf with about 150 persons on board, arid
moored in the middle of the river, there to remain until
they thought proper to pay 2s. each. This detention
was loudly complained of—and shortly after the Vesper,
with another freight of passengers, arrived, when a
similar scene of confusion took place ; the people on
board the Mercury hailing the Vesper's passengers
not to submit to such an extortion as the demand of
2s. after the boats of the Company had been advertised
to run for Gd. About this time the Sons of the
Thames, which vessel was advertised to run at Is. in
the forepart, and Is. 6d. aft, passed by with 519 pas-
sengers on board, She was greeted with loud cheers,
and cries of "No combination,' from all quarters ;
and on being moored alongside Swan Pier, above Lon-
don-bridge, the passengers gave three cheers for " The
Sons of the Thames."

The town of Gravesend has been mmerially bene-
fited by the influx of visitors caused by this steam-boat
rivalry ; but it is hoped that the river police will inter-
fere, and prevent any racing and jockeying between them.
