The .Ncw BiJlc.--Noah Webster's
new version Of the Bible has been pub
lished at Ncw-Haven-and we do hope
that it will prove to him an Improbable
speculation. We always venerated Noah
Webster ever since we used to study his
likeness in the frontispiece Of his spelling
book. Our veneration was, if possible,
increased when we saw the huge vol
umes of words which with great labor
and research, this learned man had COM
piled and defined. But our veneration
and respect has very sensibly decreased
since we learned that he was attempting
to improve the language Of the BIBLE!
1t is believed by many that the language
of the Bible is susceptible Of improve
ment. We are aware that many words
in King James version are obsolete, ,and
many phrases indelicate. But notwith
standing tins, who could have supposed
that any one individual, however pious
and learned he might be, would dare to
undertake to alter single phrase or
word in that Holy Book?
If an improred rerSion Of the Bible is
necessary, let Convention of learned
men be called, to consist of Delegates
from all parts of the Union-and let a
number of men be selected by this Con-
veniion, who have been distinguished
for their learning, and the purity OF their
morals-let them be taken from the Lai-
ty and the Clergy, from every sect and
every party-and let these men prepare
a new and improved version Of the Bi-
bic. A Bible prepared in this way,
would deserve and receive the conf
dence of the community. But Bible
containing alterations in words or phrase
by Noah Webster, or by any other indi-
vidual, will never, we hope and believe,
obtain n general circulation in this coun-
try Lo,reH Comp.

Wheels moring agon.-The water in
our stream is again moving in its accus-
toned channel, the looms and spindles
are again in operation, and our young
men and maidens, after weeks rest
from their labors, have again resumed
their usual occupations. We have no
ticed with some interest, during the short
period that the water has been stopped,
the anxiety manifested by those employ
ed in the different establishments, TO
commence work again. 1t arose not so
much from the dread of losing the profits
of few days work, as from restless
uneasy feeling, which the want of en-
ployment always occasions among the
Industrious and enterprising-and fur
nishes another striking evidence of the
discomfort and unhappiness consequent
upon idleness. - Fall -Rirer JMoniior.

Mail Robbers detected.--In consequence
of sundry losses of money transmitted
through the Post Office in this quarter,
Nh. Mitchell, Postmaster at Portland,
was deputed by the department to come
on and investigate the affair, and if pos

on Friday week, and proceeded on the
eastern route as far as Lubec, but with
out enecting his object. On returning
in pursuance of the plan he had adopted,
a decoy letter containing money, was
placed in the Office at Lubec and its safe
transmission ascertained Immediately af-
ter passing each Post Office on the line,
by MIR Mitchell and the driver, after pas
sing the6ullivan Post Office, the stage
was stopped, the mail opened, and the
package in question, found to be missing.
Mr. Mitchell returned Immediately to the
Office and accused the Postmaster, John
B. Langdon, of having purloined the
letter. lie confessed the fact, and pro- /,
ceeded with Mr. NJ. to a hay-mow, from
which he drew forth the letter and con-
tents. Langdon was taken to Ellsworth,
examined before a justice, and bound
over to take his trial at the United States
Circuit Court now sitting at Wiscassct.
MIR Mitchell then, with all haste, re-
turned to this place, where he arrived on
Friday night, and at 8 o'clock on Sat
urhay morning, started in company with
Mr. PIckard, mail contractor, in chaise,
a little in advance Of the mail. The
same plan of operation was pursued by
Mr. Mitchell, as on the lower route; no
thing, however, was found amiss until
they had passed Camden, when on an
examination Of the mail, the decoy letter
was found missing. The Assistant and
Acting Postmaster, William Merriam,
was Immediately apprehended, examin-
ed and sent to Wiscasset to take his tri-
