IThe New Testament ; translated from G-rieabach ' s O ? exfc . By Samuel SHarpe , author of the History <> f Egypt . The Fourth Edition : Arthur Hall , Virtue , and Co , TPhe fact of this work having arrived ait a fourth Sedition evinces the desire of the public fbr a correct ^ translation of the Scriptures , and should be quoted an favour of the argument for a hew , accurate , and -authorised version of both Testaments . The iHebrew Covenant in particular requires the most sedulous revision , with the utmost care and knowledge in the performance of the heedful task ,
Amenities of Literature . By Isaac Disraeli . Anew Edition , edited byhis Son , the Rt . Hon . B . Disraeli , Chancellor of Her Majesty ' s Exchequer . In 2 vols . Vol . I . Routledge , Warner , and Routledge . Ttas well-known work , memorable as having been ^ compiled after the author had been afflicted with loss ¦ of sight , and dictated to his son , whose filial assist-^ tnce he so warmly acknowledges in the preface , is iiere reprinted in a correct and popular shape , and - will be always welcome to the library shelf , as a book of reference and occasional amusement . The Crescent and the Cross ; or , Romance and Healiiies of Eastern Travel . By Eliot Warburton . Fifteenth Edition . Hurst and Blackett .
¦" What a church is to a city , Palestine is to the world , " truly says the author of this book , which , of all tliobooks of travels thither , has had most success . It may , indeed , be regarded as a classic on the subject . The author * though but a common-place xeasoner , is a most imaginative describer , and the jpoetic feeling , as much as the piety , of this work ^ accounts for i ts extraordinary circulation . TJie Flirting Page , a Legend of Normandy : and other JPoems . By Charles Dranfieid arid George Denham Halifax . James Blackwood .
-33 o 3 m six-score pages of rather respectable verse , divided between tAvo authors , need not immoderately ¦ afflict either reader or reviewer . The productions are 5 n a light and lively vein , and indicate much of javenile buoyancy ; nor are ' . they exclusively gay : there aare some essays in a graver mood that have merit -and promise in them . We shall probably meet these : wrlters again . X , yra Anglicana ; or Poetry , and its English Representatives . A Poem in four parts . By B Courtenay < iidley . Gresh am Press . This poem is sufficiently described in the title . It is-written in heroic couplets , in the style of Pope ' s imitators—a style gone by , and not likely to be repealled by any modern versifier , however respectable . The work has , however , much easy versification , Borne correct criticism , and passes in pleasant order ¦ the poets of England through the memory .

Tvttt Tmsr'ci Apnfatooy Milton S Genealogt
weekheohtainedfroni the records of the Scriveners Gompany , thrpugh the zealous cb-pperation of Mr . Park Nelson , ihe clerk of the company , a series of entries , which settle many important points , when taken in connexion with the other discoveries . First , it appears that the name of the grandfather was Richard , for it is recorded that oh the 27 th of February , 1599 , John : Milton , son of Richard Milton , Of Steihstori , [ sic ] county Oxon , and late apprentice to James Cplbron , Citizen and Writer of the Court Letter of London ( the term for Scrivener ) was admitted to the freedom of the company . This shows , secondly , that according to Mr . Hunter ' s conjecturethe grandfather wras Richard Milton , of
, Stan ton St . John ' s , who was , inthe-1 . 9 ' th ' pfEHz . abctli ( 1577 ) , assessed to the subsidy rolls of Oxfordshire , and , in the latter period of her reign , twice fined 60 / . for recusancy , confirming , so far , Aubrey ' s tradition that he was a bigoted Roman Catholic . It provides , thirdly , for the application of Professor Masson ' s discovery that the father of Richard Milton was Henry Milton , of Stanton St . John ' s , whose will is preserved , containing many family entries , including th great grandmother ' s name , Agnes , and the names of their children , Rowland , Isabel , and Alice . Rowland is conjectured by Professor Massori to be Rowland Milton of Beckley , who was alive 1599 . Fourthly . it corrects Aubrey ' s account that John
Milton the elder " came to London , and became a scrivener ( brought up by a friend of his : was hot an apprentice ) , ' andgot a plentiful estate by it ; " for it is clear the father was an apprentice in the usual course , and did not become a scrivener by redemption or purchase of his freedom , which would in those days have cost a considerable sum . Fifthly , it suggests a very different date for the hirth of Milton , the scrivener , to that assigned by Professor Masson , who thinks ; he may have been coeval with iShakspeare , and horn about 1562 or 1563 , whereas , according ' ... '¦ to Mr . Clarke , lie would have been apprenticed , according to the custom of London , at fourteen or fifteen ,
admitted to the freedom- at the age of twenty-one , have been born in the beginning of 1578 or end of 1577 ; and at the time of his death , in 1647 , have been sixty-nine years of age , and not eighty-three . It is shown , further , that the period of Milton ' s beginning practice would he about 1599 ,. and that soon , after , say in 1600 , he married . Mr . Clarke considers that the tradition of his haying been at college at Oxford is unfounded , though he rnay have been at n . grammar-school there before his apprenticeship , as Stanton is only four and a half miles from Oxford . He considers it very unlikely that a
difference on account of religion took place between Henry and John , Milton previous to the time of apprenticeshipj but that , in all likelihood , John was apprenticed by the father ; that he conformed while in London , and thought it expedient to conform on engaging in practice ; and that hence the difference arose . According to Mr . Clarke , Colbron was not the original master of John Milton , and upon this head and several others there is an opening for investigation ; but how that the right track has been found , there can be no doubt many most interesting discoveries will be found of his Oxfordshire connexions . .

House Of Commons. A If Ew Writ Was Moved...
HOUSE OF COMMONS . A if ew writ was moved for Harwich , in the room of Mr . Bagshaw . THE REFORM BII . T ,. Lord A . V . Tempest gave notice that , in the event of the House going into committee on the Government Reform Bill , lie should move clauses to confer the franchise on all jiersons who , for a period of four years , had invested 51 ., or not less than 20 ? . on the whole , in any savings ' or other authorised banks : and on all persons who had served in her Majesty ' s army and navy , and on all persons who could pass an examination before any certificated schoolmaster or examiner , similar to that which now exists with regard to messengers in the Customs and other public departments . Mr . M . Berkeley gave notice that , in the event of Lord John Russell ' s resolution being carried , he should move a resolution in favour of the ballot .
Mr . White remarked that the Chancellor of the Exchequer the other night said , Government did not intend to disfranchise any person , and gave notice of a new clause he intended to propose , to prevent disfranchisement . Now the bill as it stood , proposed to disfranchise dockyard labourers , and he . wished-to know whether any of the new clauses would preserve the rights of dockyard labourers ? The Chancellor of the Exciiequkr said it was extremely inconvenient to be called upon to answer questions without previous notice . At the same time he would say he was not aware that Government intended to disfranchise the dockyard labourers . It was only proposed to disqualify them , just as persons employed in otlier departments of Government were disqualified under the present system . « .
CHURCH RATES . Mr . Schneider asked to know when the secondreadr ing ' -of the Church Rates Bill would come on ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer appointed Tuesday
next . . . ¦ ¦ ¦ . .. . . ¦ -. ¦ . ' . . ' COMPENSATION TO PROCTOHS . The Chancellor of the Exchequer said the amount of compensation to be granted to proctors and otlier officers of the late Ecclesiastical Courts , had been ascertainedI by the Cominissioners > and would not exceed 13 p , 00 ( M . a-year , instead of being 250 , 000 ? ., as at first estimated . L Lord Clarence Paget moved , that before money was gi-anted for the navy , detailed particulars of the way the money was to be applied be laid before the House . * He made this motion because the continued increase in tlie navy estimates had naturally created alarm . The noble lord entered , into a long statement , nnd fortified it with figures , to shftw how the money hitherto voted had been expended , and to illustrate the necessity of having-full details in future before money was granted . Sir J . Pakington had-no objection to give all proper information before money was voted , but thought the form , in which it was now asked was not desirable to
sanction . After some further discussion , the matter dropped . The House went into Committee of Supply , which lasted nil the evening . The House adjourned at twelve o ' clock .
Prance. The Facts Of The Statement In Th...
PRANCE . The facts of the statement in tho Constitutioitnelas to the Austrian armaments in Italy , are said to have lieen forwarded' to that journal direct from the ' liuleries , having been gleaned by tho spit-s of M . Cavour in Lombnrdy , ahd by him sent to Louis Napoleon . There was an impression in Paris lns . t nijrnt , timt Lord Cowley ' s mission had failed . Tho oliicial news that the King of Sardinia has called out his reserves 18 looked upon as a confirmation of tlu ; riuiiour . . * Prince Napoleon is believed to bo . higher in the Emperor's favour ond cpnfidenco than over . It is poasible that the ministers opposed to him may shortly do overthrown , nnd that the prince mny return to power with more eclat than over . The Kinporor had a very lowg conference with Count do Moray on lmirsday , nftor which rumours of ministorinl moditflcntions wore current .
