OF CHRIsrIANIrv.-The publicadon which we made
the ether day Of original extract from the Hebrew
Tamud, tesfying to the historical truth of Christi
anity, has created a singular sensation among the
learned and educated portion of the community.
On the morning of the publication groups of Jews
were hudded up in the different old clothes shops,
psring over the Herald and trying to make out the
characters of their ancient language. Mr.. Roy, the
Oriental scholar, from whose work this extract was
taken, was accosted we learn, at every corner, by
Jew and Christian, asking
SIS that true extract in Benefits paper ?"-"ls
that real passage from the Talmud ~" Did you
furnish him with il I"
"No certainly" said Mr. Roy-"I knew nothing
ofs publication in the Herald-but this know, the
passage is in my Lexicon-I transcribed it from the
Talmud myself-and the republication in the Herald
is perfectly accurate"
Among the Christian clergy of all denominations,
the excitement was greater. Not one out of dozen
was aware that the best historical evidences of the
truth OF Christian Revelation were furnished by the
Jews themselves and in their own sacred books
This evidence, too, is the better and more conclusive
because it comes from the enemys own witnesses
This excitement and sensation in favor Of the
Christian system is only in the bud. The moment
we opened Mr. Roys learned work at the passage
we published, we discovered al once new and
toundNg species ofevdence of Christian truth which
has never been known or understood in any former
times The labors of Christian teachers and re-
formers have always been confined to the olden Jew
ish Scriptures, the sacred writings of the New Tesla
ment-the works of the Christian fathers-or the
remains of the cotemporaneous literature Of Greece
and Rome. The idea of examining, and invesiga-
ting the official records Of the Jews, called the Tai
mud and Targums records which still exist in differ
ent parts of the world, have never occurred till they
were taken up by the pous and learned Vim. l.. Roy,
| of Brooklyn.
1t appears that in various parts Of the Tamud,
written cotemporaneously with the beginning of the
Christian era, facts sated-and incidents recorded
corroborave of every historical event in the Four
Gospels. We are making preparations, and shall en-
deavor to procure extracts from these records in the
ancient characters, and thus endeavor to establish,
beyond possibility of doubt, the historical truth
| of Christianity as revealed in the New Testament
For nearly twenty centuries, the Jewish Rabbs have
concealed these evidences, for fear that it would en-
trely subvert their spiritual dominion their peo-
ple and dsorganse the system OF social government
which still exists among their followers this day.
And indeed, in order the better to divide and distract
Christians these learned Jews have invariably lean
ed towards modern infdelity, while they knew the
existence of evidence that would even convert them
| to the truth
In order to supply the great demand for the Herald
| containing the Hebrew extract, we now give notice
| that il will be republshed tomorrow in the weekly
Herald" together with another passage if we can get
| the type ready IN time. TIE study of the Hebrew
language will soon become popular and general and
Rey's Hebrew Lexicon will truly begin new era in
religion, truth and Biblical learning.

terday morning. We know nothing Of the matter

THE CONSERVATIVES intend, We learn, to preserve
their organization and distinct existence as party.
Tho Madisonian al Washington declines all connec-
ton with the Wings and states that it will 90 ahead
on it's own hook. We understand the democrats at
Tammany intend to take new ground, and 10 consti-
tute the Madsonan their general organ at Washing

soon.
Law relating to Man and Wife.
The case Of Mr. Robert Melville, tailor, was con-
cuded yesterday in the Court Of Sessions.
II came up in the shape of appeal from the de-
csion of the Commissioners of the Aims House. IL
seems that among other laws relating TO man and
wife among the revised statutes which can be made
applicable to persons in this city, there is one which
ssyics a husband a aisorderly person. provided he
does not provide for his wife and family according TO
VS. means
