MR. EDITOR,-I have expected for sotnc time
the termination of the Biblical discussions which
have so long occupied a part of your Journal
Hitherto 1 have not exercised my ren oty'the
subject :---but if a few words can have the effect
of closing it for ever, I shall not repent the ex-
rt

Without adverting to the spiritual benefits of
THE BIBLE, its classical benefits to our language
have been very great. It has preserved, perpe-
tuated, I should say, the purity of the English
tongue, in the good old Translation which our
fathers taught to their children, and which we
repay by teaching, to our's, The fashion has
been to ascribe that embalming purity to ADDL..
soN, to SHARSPRAILE, and to BARROW :-lrt US
look a little higher, Sir, anti ascribe it to THB
ENGLISH BIBLB, in which they learned their na-
tive language. •Solely, we do not need Mr. -BEL-
LAmy to chew us how they and their instructor
erred :—after more than two centuries of proof,
we will I)ot reject the book from which we draw
at• once our faith and our language, to adopt • a
n6v sthodaid of both.
It is with our BIBLE RS with our CoNSTITU-
TIoN hope, at least, that we do not regard it
wi►h less reverential jealousy. Englishmen do not
love change :—they never change for changing's
sake : they must be satisfied that the reform is
sate ; that it is salutary ; that .it is essenti4l ; that
it is iudispensible; Is our Biblein this predi-
cament ?

have not yet heard, Sir, that the promisei or
the prophecies of the Old Testament have been
falsified in the existing "translation. If they had,
or if even its historical parts bad been misrepre-
sented, our Protestant Church has had and st ill
has enemies enough to cast the reproach in her
teeth. If too, as our Translation of the New
Testament so exactly quadrates with that of the
Old, the one is wrong, the other cannot be right.
Such a question (and a novel Translation cats
only justify itself by raising that question, and by
establishing it) is sufficient to shake the faith of
halt the nation.

For the sake then, Sir, of our language—still.
more, for the sake of our religion—let us adhere
to our good Old Bible. It was translated trout
its original Hebrew by the conjoined labours of
47 chosen scholars, to each of whom that part was
assigned, for which his studies bad peculiarly qua-
lified him. These were men all eminent in their
day for learning and piety. And does Mr. Bat.-
LAMY, by his single capacity, assume, not merely
to do what they did, ,but to do it better than
they could have done ?,
I will hope, Mr. Editor, that you will give
place to the above few observations ; and «ittt
them, close your columns on the subject—for ever.

41,* Though the question on the purity of iloer
IVarr we conceive to be of the utmost import-
ance to mankind, yet we have been some time
doubtful whether it is a subject that can properly
be introduced among the miscellaneous articles
of a Public Journal. Hot as rite periodical Ra-
YIEWS are not accessible to the multitude, and
are slow in their progress, and as our Paper is
understood to be peculiarly patronised by the
members of the Church, we were in hopes that
many of that body would have been induced to
enter into the discussion, and therefore that the
TRUTH might be established as fly as depends on
human reason and knowledge, and -consequently
would be communicated to the People at lare
through the medium of our Paper. Several able
Correspondents have engaged into the contro-
versy on the subject of. Mr. BELLAMY'S Trans-
lation, end many forcible arguments and striking
illustrations have been urged pro and con. itksO.
much that we are disposed to think with Patscus
that the discussion has been sufficiently prolong-
ed. Therefore, inserting this day two Letters
from opposite sides, which we had promised; we
shall now put a stop to the contention, unless
some very powerful arguments should be advanced
that may justify its revival,.
