pearance to the finest and most expensive Beaver, is

shape, which it retains to the last ; will never change its co-
lour, which is the most beautiful black, if worn for years;
no weather will injure these Hats, they hieing watet-proof;
and will repair several times at a trifling expellee, and every
time appear equal to new, and are decidedly superior to any
fiats ever offered to public !mike, the attainment of which
has heen attended with great expense. Merchants, Dealers,

THE NEW TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE.

FOR TIIE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,—As you have professed an inten-
Coo, a; I luiti• yUnr rdPer, at iiionnay, to
adopt the suggestions thrown out by. a •.friend of
Mr. BeLcAmy's, relative to-his new Tran§lation of

the Bible ; allow me in my. turn to •suggest the
propriety of submitting the said TrAnslation,
publicly, to the examination of professed! He-
braists, under whose critical eyes alone the merits
or demerits of the work in question can be fairly
brought to light. I quite agree with' your Cor-
respondent, that " Anonymous Reviewers-" ought
not, without appeal, to stamp any work what-
soever with the character of worthlesiness—much

less a work of such importance as the present. 7--
But if these anonymous Reviewers give Lull and
sufficient reasons for their decision ; if -they sup-
port their arguments by facts, and their strictures
by examples ; and, by a fair and liberal. compari-
sou of passages, give the public in general the
means of fairly examining their criticisms; in this
case, Sir, anonymous Reviewers merit the warm
thanks of that public whose eyes they may per-
haps have opened to the true character of a work,
a close examination of which is beyond the means
of the generality of. Readers. I beg to refer your
Correspondent (if indeed that Correspondent be
not Mr. BELLAMY himself) to The Quarterly Re-
view of Septemller last. He will - there. find Mr.
BELLAMY'S title to an improver of the Translation
of the Bible, fairly, candidly, and impartially stated
And examined. If he be really no Ilebraist, let
hint judge at least of Mr. BELLAMY'S English;
let him judge of his candour, 'let' hint judge-of his
clearness of translation, from the passages quoted.
If he give not the meed of sublimity, of perspi-
cuity, to the old, the long-tried arid- approved
translation, I fear he can understand English as
little as Hebrew. That he is quite right in saying
many parts of the Bible are obscure I readily ad-
mit. But,
.Sir, no part essential to otir belief is
obscure, save as regards mysteries, which must
ever be obscure (to say the least) to human-ap-
prehension. Mr. BELLAMY has the merit of-hav-
ing made that obscure which was plain enough
before : how far he may throw light upon the
really obscure, remains to be proved. But, Sir,
on a subject of such momentous inkportance, as
the attempt to stagger the faiths of a people in a
translation which has for ages been the basis of
their belief, it behoves every one to act with the
circumspection of a man treading in a nest• of
vipers. You, Sir, as a truly liberal and patriotic
Editor, will doubtless seize every opportunity ,of
rendering your columns conducive, ,on all occa-
sions, to the public good. But beware, Sir, bow
you sanction a work of this momentous nature,
while its character is yet certainly doubtful—its
object questionable—and the competency of the
Author to his task by- no means clearly (I might
almost say his 'incompetency satisfactorily) esta-
blished.

SCRUTATOR.
*** It is propir to observe that this Corres-
pondent is not the one, with the same signature,
who writes on TILE ACT OF INSOLVENCY..--We
can assure •the present Correspondent that Mr.
BELLAMY was not the author of the Letter
signed X. X.
