The telegraphic information from Charleston, in- timating that the whigs have carried Florida, seems vather premature. Aa yet, only a few scattoring counties have been heard from—not enough to war- yant the forming of an opinion ag to the actual result. The politicians in different parts of this State, are still occupied in making nominations. We obzerre that in the Twentieth district the bolting whigs have nominated John C Spencer for Congress; in the Twenty-fourth district the free democrats beve selected Robert R. Raymond as their candidate, and im the Thirteenth district the whigs have chosen Mr. Egbert, a silver gray. The opponeats of Mr. E. wereHon. John L Schoolcraft, the present Con- gressman from that district, and Friend Humphrey. Mr Cock having refused to vacate the office of Btate Treasurer in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court, Mr Welsh, whom that body declared the duly elected Treasurer, applied to Judge. Watson for an order to compel Mr C. to abdicate. ‘The argument in the case was heard on Friday, and the decision will probably be rendered to-morrow. This number of our paper will afford a rare treat to the religicns classes of every persuasion, much of our space being devoted to their exclusive interest. Our columns to-day contain further particulars concerning the extraordinary treatment of the bark Corneiia by the Cuban authorities; meeting of British subjects in this city to make manifest their regret at the death of the Iron Duke; and a large amount ¢f general and local news, to all of which the reader’s attention is directed as well worthy of perusal. Want of room obliges us to defer publishing a full Report of the argument relative to the proposed Broadway railway which was yesterday heard before thespecial commitiee ef the Board of Aldermen. Cusa axp AmERICA—TuE Pror TacKentnc.— The arrival in this port, last Friday, of the bark Cornelia, from Havana, brings a corroboration of the statement made by our correspondent, and pub- Mished in the HERALD of Tuesday last, relative to the outrageous conduct committed by the Spanish ge@uthorities on board of that vessel. It seems that, 2 violation of international comity, of treaty stipu- ations, and in utter disrespect of our national flag, the Cornelia was boarded by government officiale— | after she had cleared out of port—her mails seized, taken ashore, and rifled, her captain placed under arrest, and his private papers svarched. The cap- gain remonetrated against this unwarrantable action, but only exposed himself thereby to still grosserin- | dignities; and finally he was, after come difficulty, permitted to take his departure from Havana, leaving bebind him, in prison, two of his passengers. | ‘We would advise Captain Ward to draw up a me- morial to our goverrment, representing the indig- | and insults to which he was subjected by the | nit: Spanich officials in Cuba, and requesting the action @f the executive to reeent such conduct, and pro- teot vessels eailipg under the American flag. The robbery of mails, and the arres: of citizens, without any right, are a most outrageous violation of all the the principles of international comity and com- mercial Jaws and treaties, and call for the decisive Interference of this goveryment. In New Orleans prodigious excitement prevaile with respect to this | eare, and the still grosser insult offered to the Ame- rican flag by the expulsion of the Crescent City from the harbor of Havana, and public meetings have been beld on the entject Surprised if sim] ar manifestatio; ment sre not got up by the great political parties in thie metropolis. Roae@ies's RigManoLe.—Tho Hon. Mr. Raggles, well known as having been formerly connected with some terrible reports on internal improvements in this State, hnd a prodigious aesembly of thirty or forty persons at Constitution Hall, the other even- ‘ing, to whom he read part of a printed speech, atretebing ove: ten columns of a nowspaper. We mnderetand that, for the last month or two, by the fection of a sort of mental force pump, Mr. Raymond had managed to get this immenee oration stowed away in the cells of the speaker’s brain—but it did pot all come out. The speech professes to be on the subject of internal improvemente, and to have a particular applicability to the present clection for the Presidency. It begins as far back as the age of CObarlemagne—we believe o thonsand years ago— and touches almost every strong point of history down to the present time. We do not think that Barnum ever made a speech so crammed with rig- marole ae that inflieted on his thirty auditors by the Hon. Mr. Ruggles Vacoanonpiz: Eprrors.—Grecley, of the Tri gone, is Wandering over the State of Ohio, trying to make speeches, and peddling tracts to put money in his pocket; and Brooke, of the Eapress, is wandering | over Massachusetts, endeavoring to swallow all the bard things he has heretofore said against William H. Seward. When editors forrake their offives and usinest, and proper occupations, to indulge in the vanity and folly of mouthing through the country, like vulgar politicians, it may be considered a pre- monitory symptom that the newspaper establish. ments to which they are attached are in a condition of decrepitude ond decline, and in ® fair way of giving up the ghost. Pantisan Looic — There is not a paper in th United States,” says the Washington J¥legraph, “that hae been more vindictive and violent in its attacks on Gen Scott, than the New You Hera.y;” and quotes to prove it, the following presoge from our columns: — But for the private reputation of General Scott. a Well o for bis military eberacter, we have always bad the b chest regerd ond deepe-t veneration.

A-umor prevailed extensively last night, in the city, that naval orders had been received yesterday, from the government at Washington, ordering the Mississippi steamer te proceed immediately to Havae | pa, and to demand immediate explanation and re- ease of a refusal, early day. We could not trace this rumor to any important or official authority ; but whatever truth there may be in the matter, there can be no question that one of the most popular acts of the American govern- ment, in the present state of publi: opinion, would | be for the President to call an extra session of Con: | gress, and boldly propose an immediate declaration | of war against the longer continuance of Spanish power in Cuba, and to begin the movement for the | final expulsion of European authority from this H continent. In less than six weeks, an army | | of two hundred thousand volunteers, each man ca- | | pable of wielding the unerring rifle with effect at | abundred or a hundred and fifty yards distance, could be collected together by acclamation, and | landed in Cuba, in three or four formidable detach- | ments of 50,000 men each, in order to enforce the | will of the American people, and liberate the down trodden Creoles of that unhappy ieland. The public treasury is full and overflowing—there being at this moment nearly twenty millions of actual gold and silver in the public coffers, and the pros- pect of its reaching forty or fifty millions surplus in a year. A war declared immediately against Spain, on the ground of avenging recent ouirages, with the prospect ot liberating that island. would | be one of the most popular movements since the greagwar of tho Revolution in 1776. We learn, also, that preparations are making to hold a tremendous mass meeting in this city, to express public opinion on the recent violations of international law perpetrated by the colonial go- vernment of Cuba against the American flag. It will be called without distinction of party; indeed, no party, and least of all, the whig party, dare oppoee such @ meeting in the present crisis of public affairs. Something exciting is in the wind. abide the consequences at an The New York Pious Press, in White *Kerchiefs. Asa rule, the religions papers of this city aro rather heavy reading. With the exception of the few who take a lively interest in ecclesiastical fury, the unctious disputes of Methodist and Episcopalian, Congregationalist and Presbyterian, are dull work, and do not tend to raise either of the litigant parties in the public estimation. Among families, however, it is the correct thing to have an orthodox paper for Sunday reading, to nurture the young and strength- en the old in a proper antipathy for heresy and dis- sent. This accounts for the large circulation of these weeklies, some of which—such astho Christian Advocate and Jowrnal—have a subscription list fall- ing little short of 30,000. It is a very sensible pa- per; and if one can get over the mewkishness with which “brethren” is substituted for “gentlemen,” in the Methodist dialect, can occasionally be read with pleasure, even by its opponents. Woe notice in the last number a well meant and well expressed article on the Hosmorite movement to exclude slayeholders from the Methodist Conference. The Evangelist, estavlished in 1830, ia Presbyte- +e blue—the organ of that stubborn crew t saints whom all men grant to be the tras Church militant. It is du reste, respectably got up, and enjoys a circulation of some 12,000. The Jas’ number contains an anecdote of a preacher, who, having ‘‘proclaimed the truth,” returned home dis- couraged, and was beginning to fear that ‘‘this peo- | ples’ heart bath waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing,” when a “sealed note,” containing “a new five dollar note,” was handed to him—‘‘a cor- dial,” as he figuratively expresses it, “to the ner- | vous afterings of a Sunday’s toil.” A betier illus tration of the old poet’s saying, that Gold was heaven’s physic, life’s restorative, | could not easily be found. The Recorder is the Baptist paper—long winded, | and open to the shafts of ridicule, from its Puritan tone and frequentiy extravagant phrassology. It | assures us, last Wednesday, that ‘‘Heaven is not an epicure’s dining room;” and to correct erroneons | impressions on this head, gives a minu+e description | ofthe Eternal City, streets, gates and the “‘public and private buildings ** May we ask what “‘pnblic build- ings’? the Recorder has reason to believe have been erected in Heaven? No court houses or jails, we trust. Such absurdities tend to cast discredit on | Christianity. The Recorder has a four column ar | | ticle against the Rev Mr. Judd, who, it seems, has | impeached the accurasy of the Spanish translations | of the Vulgate. It accuses him of ‘‘felsifying docu | ments fora petty personal or private end,” and | | similar peecadilloes. The Recorder forgets | ‘That raints may do the same things by The spirit, in sincerity, Which other men are tempted to, And, at the devil's instance, do. The Protestant Churchman, and the Chnrckiain, | are both devoted to the interests of the Epissopal | | chureb, and are filled, at present, with the aecoancs | of Dr. Wainwright’s election. We notice, in tho | | latter, the following somewhat equivocal comp!i- | ment paid to the Bpiscopal clergy :—-‘The ele tions (for Provisional Bishop) were conducted de cently and in order.” By far the most amusing of the ecclesiastical | | ments might be made: we hes no& been answered. confess, and regain his peace of mind,” in a very touching strain, and oven verges on the jocular | If they did mot consent te the proposed changes, the | gu:horities in the Island of Cuba om the captain of the when he notices the Observer. But the business of the unauthorized signature is not explained. It is, on the whole, ‘* a very pretty quarrel.” The church was once split on aniola. It is now shaken | by @ note of interrogation, more or lese—for the | casus belli does not amount to more than this. The language used is, a8 might be expected, *’ peevish, cross, and splenetic,” and shows clearly, the Puritan knight to the contrary notwithstanding, that church debating beara a close analogy to bear baiting. We like this style of argument. Cold reason is wretchedly dull. Let us have hot onslaughts and hard words; and if the matter cannot be settled otherwise, why, let the Observer and Independent resort to the old rule, and Decide the controversy by Infalltble artillery. We have always liked the trial by dattel, and back the Observer two to one. The American Bible Union, and “ The Au- thorized Version.” During the last few days we have been pub- lishing reports of the proceedings of the Amori can Bible Union; and today we publish the | remainder of their sayings and doings at this annivergary, together with the proceedings of the lte- conciliation Meeting of the American and Foreign Bible Society. The members of this Union originally belonged to the Bible Society, but seceded from it on the ground that they were dissatisfied with tho present translation of the Scriptures, and that they wanted a purer anda better one for distribution, and for the use of Christian churches; and they are now preparing to bring out a Bible of their own. They are for the mos: part Baptists, who are also Congre gationalists, and their principal objection is to the rendering of two words— baptizo, ‘‘baptise,” and ekklesia ‘* church”—which they insist ought to be translated ‘‘ immerse” and “congregation.” They say that King James directed tho translators thai ‘*the old ecclesiastical words be kept, as the word church not to be translated congregation ;” and his majesty generally comes in for a large share of abuse for this direction. Now, we think that the King showed great wisdom and impartiality; for if the translators had translated baptizo “sprinkle,” which the Pedo-Baptists contended it meant, or “dip,” asthe Ana- Baptists held, offence would have been given to one side or other, and the utility of the work would have been destroyed; whereas, partiescan now adopt the same words, while each give it their own interpretation, and en Joy their own opinion, without any triumph over their adversaries. The Baptists maintain that “baptize” is to immerse, and their opponents coa- tend that sprinkling is quite sufficient—and one party holds that “‘church’? means “‘congregation,” while another holds that it means a collection or large number of churches. Lot them, therefore» “agree to differ.” The difference, practically, does not amount to more than the differeace between tweediedum and tweedledee. The practice of Christianity is the main thing, and that is too ofien lost sight of. For modes of faith lat senseless bigots fight— He cun’t be wrong whose lifeis in the right. We perceive that we have been taken to task for those unprofitable disputings about words and forms, while the spirit of Christianity was crushed in th» stroggle. Sensible men, however, will agree with us Theee contentions have been carried on bitterly by the two opposing sccieties, for the last two or three years, and everything but the mild precepts and practice of the Gospel has been exemplified in the controversy. Better to be coatent with any kind of atranslation, than for Christians and brothers to wage such relentless war, and to call each other such hard names. We hope that the reconciliation meet- ing held will bave the good effect of causing both laity and clergy to act more in harmony with the spirit of the Good Book which they all profess to reverence. It was said of old, “See these Christians, how they love one another !”” It might now be said with equal truth, ‘See thoze Christians, how they hate one another!” In reference to the merits of the question, we hope we may be permitted, in this free country, to offer a few observations, though we have not teken out a degree of Doctor of Divinity. The trans- lation of the Bible known as ‘the authorized’’ version, or King James’s Bible, is that which has been used by all denominations of Prote: tants in the old country who speak the Englisa language, for 242 years, and by every Christian sect in this country, with the exception of the Romaa Catholics ; and those men who assail it 80 unspa, ingly «incur a'very serious regponsibility. Their a’ | tacks tend to uasettle men’s minds about the re) - gion of their fathers, and the religi themselves learned’from the old family Bible; ant the unfortunate result may be that, instead of doin any good, a vast amount of evil may be effecte The faith of men being shaken in the soundness of the translation now in use, they will dont the possibility of ever finding a sound transl»- g of the original itself. Christians have m naged to get on very well, hitherto, w the version used by their ancestors, aud t only difficulty has been, not in the imporfections of the translation, or in the passages hard to be under stood, but in the profeszors of Obristianity not prar- tically following what they know, aud what is so plain that “he who runs may read. @ new translation equal tothe old? Suppose toe word baptizo would have been better tranal “‘jmmerse;” ekklesia rendered * congregation,’” and ep pos ** bishop’ — and other improve. how would the whole body of Christians be induced to agree to these change And if they did agree,, what guarautee have the com- sheets, juet now, are the New York Observer and | the Independent, which are filled with the disputes | of Rey. Joel Parker and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. | At leasthelf the reading matter in these prpers is absorbed by these litigant pareons We have al- ready alluded ty the casus belli. Mrs. Stowe pub lished a statement respecting slavery, in her book, which she attributed to Dr Parker; and it now appears that skilled logicians Who can distinguish and divide A bair ‘twixt south and gouthwost ride, | | | | | —can diecovera material difference between D>. | Parker's real words ard those Mrs. Stowe pute in his mouth. We, with the mere light of orlinary | discernment to guide us, cannot see that much in- | | jnstiee has been done Dr. Parker by his fomale as- tailant. However this be, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher now appears in the dock, charged with aflix- ing Dr Parker’s name to documents without his rity, and publishing them without hie consent. Tho care looks ugly, as detailed in the statement of the Observer. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher replies in a dozen columne or 80, of the Independent, wud is very unctuous. He begins by “‘ professing that no event of my life—not the loss of my own children, nor ba reavements of frierds most dear, nor sickness, nor all of them—have ever filled me with so deep a sor | row as that which Ihave in being made a party to | a public dispute, where three of the persons oqn isters of the gospel, and where th | corned are fourth is & woman, and the wife of a clergyman;” and winds up on the samo key *Tt was my prayer to God, when I began thisnerrative, that my | brain might not ree! nor bo Joft to error, and it was may pro ; if He would give me grace and wisdom to strike a true blow for a sister, that should act her free from the accursed enchautment in which her reputation stood epell-hound before the pablio, that I would hardly wek a thing for myself. But Ged bas given me all, and more, and the i done, and cternity will not untwine ¢ which this roonstrous iniquity is bound f | | we j daiave munity thatin the new version there will not be one hundred new errors for every error corrected in the old?

Dothey pretend to bs as learned and ss able men as the jorty-seven who translated the Bible in the reign of King Jamos th2 First of Engiand? Never were such pains takea language into another. Objections having been m Bible, at the conference held at Hampton Court, ia 1603, the King, in the following year, gave orders for & new translation; and fifty-four of the most learned men of the kingdom were appointed to this great undertaking. Before the work was comme: seven of the number cither died or declined the task, the spring of 1607, and devoted the labor of three years to this world-renowned version all pre-eminently distinguished for their profound learning in the original languages of the sacred writings. They were divided iato six classes. Tea met at Weetmins:er, and translated from the Penta- teuch tothe end of the second book of Kings; eight assembled at Cambridge, to tre e tho rest of the historical books and the Hagiographw. At Oxford, seven undertook the four greater prophets, with the Lamentations of Jeremiah and the twelve minor prophets. The four Gospels and Avts of the Apostles were assigned to another company of eight, also at Oxford, and the Epistles of St. Paul, to gether with the remaining canonical epistles, were allotted to another company of seven, at Westmin ster. Lastly, another company, at Cambridger translated the books of the Apocrypha. Dirsesions wero given by tho King that every man of aneh and having translated them sever weretome ally by himeelf, all npare what ttegether, to ec had done, dcepatched a book in this manner, they wore ordered To judge from the Intermediate string of letters ‘o@ send it to the rest, ‘* to be considered of seriously some obeervations we published in reference to | tion at ell, and, in the end, doubt the tru'a | What hope—what possibility—ia there, to got wo | With eny version of any book translated from one le to the Bishop,’ | d, | and the rerasiniog forty-seven proceeded with it in | They were | company should take the same chapter or chapters, | and judiciously by them.” Hf any company, upon the review of the book so sent, doubted or differed about any passages, they noted those paseages, and sent back the book to the translators, with their reasons. matter was referred te the general meeting, er con” ference, consisting of the chief persons of each com- pany, which took place at the end of the work. Nor wasthisall. When any place of special obscurity was doubted of, letters were directed by authority to every learned man in the land, for his judgment» and every Bishop sent letters to the clergy of his diocess to send their observations to the company of translators; and over the whole body of translators were appointed, as overseers, ‘three or four of the most ancient and grave divines in either of the universities; so that, in poiot of fact, it was a tranelation by all the learned men in Great Britain and Ixeland—and the result was such a mastorly version as has never yet been made of the Bible or any other book. The celebrated Dr. Doyle, the great Roman Ca tholic controversialist, well observed of it that it was “‘anoble translation, with all its faults.” Bishop Lowth, in his introduction to his English Grammar, says it ‘is the best standard of our language.” Dr James Beattie remarks, ‘‘ It isa striking beauty in our English Bible that, though its language is al- ways elegant and nervous, and, for the most part, harmonious, the words are all plain andcommon—no affectation of learned terms, or of words of Greek or Latin ety mology.” Authorities might bo multiplied: But two more will suflice—ono who wasthe greatest oriental scholar of the Old World, and the other the most eminent in the United States: Dr. Adam Clarke, in his preface to his learned Commentary, says: “ Those who have compared most of the Euro. pean translations with the original, have not scrupled to say that the English translation of the Bible, made under the direction of King James the First, is the most accurate and faithful of the whole. Nor is this its only praise: The translators have seized tho yery spirit and soul of the original, and expressed thie, almost everywhere, with pathos and energy. Besides, our tranelators have not only made a stand” ard translation, but they have made their transla- tion the standard of our language; so that, after two hundred years, the English Bible,is, with very fow exceptions, the standard of the purity and excel lence of the English tongue. Tho original from which it was taken is alone superior to the Bible translated by the authority of King James.” The late Professor Stuart, of Andover, Mass., says:— “The divines of that day were very different from what most of their successors have been in England orScotland. With the exception of Bishop Lowth’s lating, among the Englieh divines, will compare, either in reapect to taste, judgment, or sound un- derstanding of the Hebrew, with the authorized version.” ” Such is’ the translation that is decried by very classic work upon Isaiah, no other effort at trans- | Arrival ef the Cormelta. OUTRAGE UPON CAPP WARD. AND EKIZURE OF THE MAIL BAGS, BY THE AUTHORITIES AT HAVANA ‘We yesterday published an additional account of the unprovoked and gross outrage committed by the Spanish Corvelia and the reizure of the letter page; but having received a detailed statement of this iniquitous tranaac- tion. offer the following to our readers, On the 22d September the Cornelia was cleared at the Custom House, hauled from the wharf. and the letter bag baving been delivered by Mesers. Drake & Vo., the con- signees for tranemission to the United States, the ship got under weigh. she arrived without molestation, at the guard ehip lying at the mouth of the harbor. when she was boarded by the authorittes, accompanied by some Spanirh soldiers. who ordered the ship to be anchored ‘This order was instantly obeyed; but from the position of the verrel at the time, and the narrowness of the mouth of the harbor—having scercely sufficient water to turn in—she ran great hazard of being lost. The officials then enquired of Captain Ward if be had aman concealed on board his ship of the name of Hearkuess, which he denied. They immediately commenced searching the ship and found Hearkness concealed in the after cabin Captain Ward denied all knowledge of the transaction, and Hearkness, when confronted with him, assured the Spanish officers that he alone was in fault,and that the captain of the Cornelia, and every person in the ship, were ignorant of his having concealed hiaselt. It appears thet the Captain Genoral of Cuba had re- ctived information from one of bis numerous epies, that Mr. Guzman had taken his passage from New York in the Cornelia, and that certuin letters had been given him to deliver to perrons on his arrival in that city. Guzman had applied for s passport, which had been granted him; but at the moment of his departure, when the Captain General made sure the letters would be on board, he took this method of apprehending him. ‘The authorities disregarded th cence made by Captsin Ward, and conducted him, in company with Hearkpess, as prisoner, to the guard sbip. Heerkness they left in the guard ship; and the American captain, guarded by two soldiers, with muskets and bayo- nets, Was conducted on shore. to undergo am examina- tion’ by the captain of the port. who, on his arrival, in a most brutal manner told him that he was liable to be fined $1000 for having concealed exeons unfavorable to the Spanish government on board is verel, but tbat if he would deliver up tho letters which Mr. Guzman. another passenger, had delivered to him, the fine would be remitted, and the Cornelia allowed to proceed om ber yoysge. In reply to this, Captain Word informed the captain of the port that he was en- tirely ignorant of Hearkness having concealed himself on board his vessel, and that no package of lotters had beon entrusted to his care by Guzman. At this juncture the captain of the port became furiously incensed, and told Ceptain Ward, that he was fillidustero and a liar, and that unless the package was immediutely delivered up, 6 fine of $1,000 Would be impored. He then ordered the captain to be conveyed to the ship, which order) was carried into effret, the soldiers accompanying him. He was, however, not permitted to remain any length of time onthe ship, but re conveyed on shore to the Captain General, to undergo u s:cond examination. This second examination Was of the sume character as the first, and he was again ordered on board ship, the captain of the port informitg him that ho was a scoundrel, and that unless the packoge was forthcoming, he should be seut to prison as an enemy to the Queen of Spain | Shortly after, the captain of the port, accom- | panied by the captain of police, arrived on board, | and demanded the letters in his scion. ‘There | were several packages o: letters in Captain Ward’s desk, which was in bis cabin, which. together with a let- ter bag, the captain of the port and the captain of police conveyed on shore After opening the box and examin. ing the letters giving, a: the same time, strict injunc- rotestations of inno- small minds, withoat any of the learning of the great men who have left this imperishable monu- ment of themselves to stand forever, ‘side by side with “Shakspeare, as the standard of the English language—the tongue of that Anglo Saxon raco | | which, in the American type of it, is destiaed to | | girdle the earth with its civilization, its liberty, and | its Christianity.

In conclusion, we adopt the words of | the learned Dr. Middleton, in his work, on the | Greek article:—‘‘ The etyle of our present ver_ | sion is incomparably superior to anything which | might be expected from the finical and perverted taste of our age.
