SEW TRANSLATION of the BIBLE.
" Mr. D. O'Connell denominates the most tolerant
man in Europe, the amiable King of Prussia, a 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 dominior.s."—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"—P.ege 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 into
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.

" 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 thesis for this purpose, and by his Royal
Decree appointed them to make a new translation."—P. 372.

Bible and Testament, into English, both in MS. and in Print,
and of the most remarkable editions of them since the invention

1739.

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

" Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's
image ; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself,
embalmed and treasured up on

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 not 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. e did not cast a general
condemnation on the clergy of that period, for many of them
had fully thine their duty; but he regretted that so golden an
opportunity had passe, an opportunity that would take the
greatest labour and energy of those anxious to impose on 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
advantages 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 hid, as anticipating a closer approximation in sentiment
among 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
version of the Sacred gcriEtures, Published in any country,
either Popish or Protestant.

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 humart
sagacity, knowledge, and diligence to elucidate and confirm."—.

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

conceive me."

Hebrew, Part, 7th, 1834, New Translation.—" If I were
shapen in iniquity, or in sin, my mother bad 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 rs corded 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 begindng; 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 follows, that if man
were shapen in iniquity, and conceived in sin, 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 rest of the week ; and the fervour of their devo-
tion, to obtain a scat 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 inanimated 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 of London," where " the fervour of their devotion for a
seat in Paradiie 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 divulgod 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 Chronicle, are the only Papers
amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be
" of the utmostimportance 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 pleasing to us to observe a conspicuous personage in our
triple state, who was equally unmindful in his day, and of the
posthumous fame of 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 " Miens evil manners live' in brass ; their
virtues we write in water"—is so rife amongst us, we consider
it our bounden duty to break k 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 truth—accumulate the lie,
And pile the pyramid of calumny !"

THE FARMER'S and GENERAL FIRE
and LIFE INSURANCE, and LOAN and AN-
NUITY INSTITUTION.

(To be empowered by Act of Parliament. )
TEMPORARY CiIAMBE RS—Farmer's Magazine Office, Norfolk-

street, Strand.
CAPITAL, 500,000/,
In Fifty Thousand Shares •f 101. each,
Deposit 11. per Share.
rNo further sum is likely to be called for, as the accruing
premiums will render such further call unnecessary ]
The Farmer's Fire and Lite Institution is not a mutual In-
surance Office.

Shareholders will only be liable to the amount of their Shares.
The Capital so produced being much more than can ever
be required to meet the demand upon the Office.
Immediately upon the first division of profits, a tenth part
will be applied in such proportions as may from circumstances
appear most advisable in aid of the establishment of Farmers'
Clubs, and in prizes for the encouragement of deserving agri-
cultural labourers. Should the funds be such as to admit of a
considerable sum being devoted to the latter object, it is con-
fidently hoped that the feelings of the agricultural labourers
will be enlisted in the protection of property, rather than in
abetting or conniving at incendiarism.
Another tenth to be reserved as a Rest to add to the Capital
Stock, and the remaining four-fifths to be annually divided
among the Shareholders.

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
GENTLEMEN,
I apply for Shares in The Farmer's
and General Fire and Life Insurance, and Loan and Annuity
Institution, and engage to pay the Deposit of One Pound on
each Share, or on such portion of them as may be allotted to
me, to the Bankers .f the Institution, or their Agents, when-
ever called upon.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
To the Directors of " The Farmer's and
General Fire and Life Insurance, and
Loan and Annuity Institution."

Applications for Shares, Agencies, or information, must be
addressed, postpaid, to W. S. Northhouse, Esq., Parliamentary
Agent, or to W. Shaw, Esq., Farmer's Nlagazine Office,
24, Norfolk-street, Strand, London. The Allotment will
•speedily take place.

SUMMERING TISE HUNTER.--S 0 much dis-
cussion has taken place on this debateable ground that
to repeat the arguments pro and con would be to tell a
thrice or oftener told tale ; and I can hardly hope that
decies repetita placebit. I shall therefore put a few
" civil questions" to those gentlemen-graziers who ad-
vocate the " summer-run" system. Is not your horse
turned out for the purpose of resting him, and of bring-
ing round his legs, which begin to chow symptoms of
work ? Is not a certain quantity of food at a time and
at regular hours best for a horse ? Will grass put a
horse in condition ? Do you not say that you turn him
out to keep his feet cool and moist ? Now I should be
glad to know whether a horse at grass will rest as much as
one kept in a loose box, and led out every day as long as is
good for him. Whether it is not better to feed him
yourself on a certain quantity of food, giving green
meat as a gentle physic if you will, than to suffer him
to fill his belly from morning till night ; and, in short,
never to have his stomach empty. My third question
I need not answer, as the first care of every man, on.
taking up his horse from grass, is to get rid of its 1,a,),
effects by grooming, and regular work ; and as fr...,r the
feet, if they cannot be kept sufficiently cocv't in the
stable, why, as the Americans say, "it is k pi'ty." For
kicks, bruises, strains, coughs roaring, 'broken-wind,
staggers, &c., &c., let the sins of the grazier, who will
alone suffer from them, be visited lightly upon his soul
in purgatory, but not so lightly tr., on that of the man
who increases his horse's, corrjorts by personal super-
intendence in the stable, tt unremitting care from one
year's end to the ot3):er.—Old Sporting Mayazixe for

Colburn's ".United Service" for January, opens
the thirteenth year of its uvdul career with an excellent
Number. The article on " The Military Establish-
ments and Discipline of the Chinese," to use a favourite
expression of Burke's, hits between wind end water at
the presentmoment. The interest excited byTecent events
at Canton, renders any account of the character, organi-
zation, estimated force, and discipline of the Chinese
arms interesting, and all these particulars are amply
detailed in the paper. The extreme difficulty of obtain-
ing any information on this important subject greatly
enhances its value. It appears that the Chinese army,
at the present day, consists of about 1,000,000 infantry,
and 800 000 cavalry, but that, according to the Em-
peror Cam Hy, " They are good soldiers when opposed
to bad ones, but bad when opposed to good Ones." Mr.
Allen continues his series of articles on " England's
Wooden Walls," taking for his present subject the im-
mortal " Victory." " Col. Pasley's Operations at Spit-
head." and Major Charter's " Notices of Cape and
Southern Africa," increase in interest, and the Bayonet
controversy receives a fresh impetus.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.—The Secretary to
the UniverSal Suffrage Association a•t Glasgow wrote
letters to the two Members for the city, Messrs. Os-
wald and Dennistoun, and to Mr. Johnston, the Secre-
tary of the Anti-Corn-law Association, requesting them
to attend a public meeting at the Bazaar, on the 3d
or Gth instant, to discuss the question of Universal
Suffrage. 'Po the revisition the first replied that his
attendance would 'not serve any useful purpose ; the
second, that he could not admit their right to summon
him before P.lem, and the last that such a step would
be ineen3;:stent with his duty.
ET:TENSIoN OF THE METROPOLITAN ACT.
`•'•A meeting of the inhabitants of Woolwich took place
on Thursday evening, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the proposed extension of the metropoli-
tan police into that district, (erroneously stated in some
of the papers to have already taken place). The Rev.
Mr. Greenlaw, the Rector, presided ; and on account
of the very strong feeling in the parish upon the sub-
ject, the room was crowded with inhabitants, and the
proceedings created a good deal of interest. Several
speakers addressed the meeting, and an almost universal
feeling appeared to prevail against the extension. Ulti-
mately, resolutions deprecating the introduction of the
police to Woolwich were unanimously agreed to, and
a memorial founded upon these resolutions was they
drawn up, and arrangements made to present the saws
to Lord Normanby..
