The PHoNOrYPIC BIBLE. The pho.
nographiss OF England are determined to
Conquer. They have not only created an
alphabet of sound letters, that is, of char
Iaclers representing each distinct sound in
our language, but they have even begun
to print the Bible IN these phonotypiC
characters, 1t makes a difference OF one
fourth in the space occupied, proving that
one fourth of the characters employed in
En9 lish spelling are useless.
The FoNoTIpIC BlBUL" is published
IN England. by "lzUc PITMUN," Bath
aud, 10 the United States. by "ANDRoozR
AND Boil, Boslup." We give the SPELL
ing as near as we can without the types
A PLEA FOR PuoNoTYPY. "By Alex.

Trinity College, Cambridge, and Eel.

Society" .n.,.
This is ooe of The publications Of the
phouographists, aud is The result of vast
labor and industry. The author has been
associated wiki Mr. Pilman in settling and
completing the alphabet for phonotvpy, or
printing according to sound, a work on
which they both Iabored industriously for
three years.
The pamphlet before US gives vast va,
riely OF tabular and other digesled views
OF the irregularities Of our printed Ian.
guage, and the benefits 10 be anticipated
from the phonotypic reform. For in
Stance,,s, there ale twenty three different
modes of representing the sound of e long,,
and eighteen OF . short; twenty OF long,
and fifteen of short, &c. The vowel
represents nine sounds, and q followed
by final e. four al represents six, 40 six,
and an seven. He quotes the old jokc:-
doctor Johnson, do you say nyher for
neeiber?" "Noyher, sir.'' Forty>thres
letters have $40 "heerotypic equivalents"
i e. represent 379 sounds. The extrav-
agencies of our language are shown in
the spelling Of the word Ortdography BY
the use Of letters as they are actually en-
ployed in the words George, colonel,
Mathew, knOayIedge, ghost rheumatism,

II is said in favor of Phonolypic print-
ing, that with S aid, the most ignorant
European peasant or American slave, can
lie ,augnt in few hours time, TO read
| f0enty in the Bible! When it comes
inIo genera! use, the ART Of spelling will
be among the lost arts.-EmancipatOr.
THE CONTRAST. There is place ON
the earth where pure joys are unknown
from which poIiteness is banshed, and has
given place to seIhshness, contradiction,
and half-veiled insults. Remorse and in.
quielude, like fures that are weary of as.
sailing, torment the inhabitants. This
place Is The house Of welded pair, who
have no mutual love, nor even esteem.-
There is a place on earth, to which strife
has no enrance--where the gloomy pas.
sions have no empire-w where pleasure
AMI innocence live constantly together
where care aud labor are delighted
where every pain is forgotten in recipro-
cal tenderne>s.-W where there is an equal
enjOymen; OF the past, the present and the
future II is the house, too, OF welded
pair bat who 10 wedlock are lovers sill,
In NO HURRY. Frequent mention is
made OF despatch in loading and repairing
vessels in other ports, from which igno-
rant people are led TO suppose that New
York is behind the age in this respect,
but such is not the case. As an instance:
the Henry Clay, of l400 tons, was taken
from her berth, and, in three hours was
raised on the sectional dock, and ready
for The workmen, In sac hours she was
completely coppered 1900 sheets of cop
per having been put on well, and in a
thoroughly workman"ike manner, 10 tha.
short time Ia another hour she was
ahoat again in the river.
And vet it was not an extra effort, but
can be performed every day in the week,
if required.
