Mr.. Editor,-In your review of the re-
marks of r. G. Wyllie, Esq. upon the sub
ject of leases, you have taken occasion 10 mo-
tice some facts of Egyptian history and cbro-
nology, which | think must in some part;cu-
lars be erroneous. You remark that Epvnt
flourished as a kingdom nearly ten centuries
before ITS conquest by the shepherd kings,
and that one of these latter filled the throne
at the time that Joseph hourishcd as chief
ruler. The general deluge, according to
scriptural chronology occurred about the
year of the world 1896
Abraham visited Eoypt A NJ oOo1
Joseph was sold into Egypt A. Nj. 2276'
promoted to be chief ruler A. NJ. 2289.
According to Rollin the Kingdom of Ecypt
was founded "A. M. 1916, by Menes or Mes
ram, conquered by the Shepherd kings from
Arabia or Phcnocia A. M. 1920, Selling up-
on Memphis, the capital Of Lower but never
extending their conquests to Upper Ecypt-
expelled by Thethmosis A. M. 2l79.
If the above dates are accurate the k;no-
dom OF Egypt was founded one hundred and
sixty years after the flood. 1t was overrun
and subverted by the Hycsos or shepherds
one hundred and four years after its first &C.
Establishment. 1t was visited by Abraham one
hundred and sixty four years after it WINS
conquered by the shepherds and while the
shepherd dynasty filled the throne. and two
hundred and sixty eight years from its first
foundatlon' The Shepherds were cxpclled
ninety five years after the visit of Abraham.
after reignirg two hundred and fifty nine
years ninety seven years before Joseph was
carried to Egypt and one hundred and ten
years before he was elevated to be chief nm.
Ter in the kingdom.
The whole period from the deluxe 70 tho
promotion of Joseph was 633 years, from thc
establishment of the kingdom by Menos 70
inc same event Alb years, from the conouest
by the shepherds to the same 800 years
from ITS entranchisement by Thethmosis 10
,ne same ITO years. Thus it appears that
Egypt f1ourished as a kingdom but about one
century before the conquest and thai the
conquerers were expelled long before tho
promotion of Joseph to the premiership 81
that Kingdom. In these calculations the Ri.
bic and Rollin who also follows the Bible and
IS regarded as a standard and faithful outhor
has been followed.
The early period of ancient history ;s IN.

On the 23d Of July last, the Chiefs of Raj
atea, Huahine and Borabora rendered TO
Lord George Paulet the cession of their is
lands, for his Government, that they might
be protected from the French. Lord George
declined accepting the c%ession, on the ground
that the French claimed the leeward islands
as well as the others of the Society Group,
as being under their authority.

as certain as the principles upon which they
were founded. From this has resulted what
may be called book farming. The farmer
who has spent a long life at the plough, is at
last convinced that a student in his closet,
may know far more about his fields than
himself, and eagerly avails himself of the
simple rules which have cost the other a life
time of study, to double the products and
value. of his lands. The old neglected bog,
or sane patch, is found to be a source of
wealth, and he finds there is not a particle
of refuse matter but can be converted
into food, or ornament Agriculture, in one
short halt-century has doubled its existence.
and yet is in it's childhood. In a future
number we shall pursue the subject further,
and cndeavor to throw out some hints which
may be made useful to the agricuIturists of
this kingdom.

We presume the dates with which S. N.
G.. undertakes to amend ours are perfectly
correct according to Rollin, but it is novel
to us to see him quoted as ca faithful and
standard author" We had always suppos-
ed that Rollin wrote an entertaining histori-
cal compendium, which considering the orr
ginal authorities at his disposal, did him cred
it, and was a pleasant work, especially for
young people and calculated TO excite in
them a disposition to study veritable history,
from its first sources. With much truth he
has much fable also; Unnecessary result from
the inaccurate sources from which he drew
most Of his history. But far be it from us
to disturb Mr.. C.'s faith in Rollin. He fur

will be followed with safety and confidence"

in consequence feel bound to swallow Arch
bishop Usher's system of chronology, which
is the "Bible Chronology" of Mr.. G. and
which was attached to it and made the COM
monty received one by an act of Parliament;
the more especially when it was drawn from
the MasOrete Hebrew version of the old tes-
lament, which had been corrupted by the
Jews themselves to throw the early prophe-
cics concerning the Messiah out of date
That which we prefer, believing the text to
be purest, is the Septuagint, and we find its
dates correspond with the early monumental
history of the Egyptians, which is in itself a
strong argument for its accuracy. The mon
umental dates cannot lie-Thcy are as they
were chiselled in adamant 1000 wears aoo
and it is very satisfactory to find that they
accord with that version Of the scriptures
which we believe to be nearest the original.
Josephus also confirms the authority of the
Septuagint. But to show Mr.. G.. that VIC
have a long list to choose fron-we assure
him that the date he settles for the flood is
but one out of SOCIAL varying. The sub
joined table ofthc chief authorities prepared
by the crudite and pious churchman-Dr,
Halcs-will give some idea of the dcplorabIe
uncertainty that prevails in the chief eras Of
Bible chronology, by the most learned and
orthodox divines as well as others -
