The history of the Bible has repoatodly been written, and an interesting history it is. For It is carious to trace, the various books of ;Which it is composed, back to their ascertained 0” traditional source.. Mach learning is neces sary to do this, and some learning is requisite to understand it. A more popular and intelli gible work would be one which should take, up the Biblo from tho timo it was thrown be fore tho world through tho invention of.print ,ing, down to tho present timo, when every family has at least one copy of the Holy ’•Scriptures, y~lts the middle ages, the Bible was multi plied only by tho tedious -and laborious pro .cess of transcription. The religions, in mo nasteries, piously omployed thomselvos in with great patience and much skill, not only the Bible, but other good books— iSoli as tho writings of tho oarly Fathers of tho Church.' Sometimes, when it was difficult to obtain new parohment, for this pnrposo, tho hppyists would take, old manuscripts, oblite rate the writing as far as they could, and make tjjpsir own transcription upon tho -compara tively clean surface. Thoso parchments, thus ideated, are called palimpsests, dp some occasions the obliterated matter wws more Vsluablo than that whic,h, I r’|pJrtcod it. pfe are acquainted with pn^A-Instance •of this. In , tho Library of Trinity Oolloge, ’tiublin, there was a palimpsest of vellum, on which was written, in Grcok, what appeared fojbo a monkish' logond of the thirteenth cen tury. Tho erudite and eccentric Dr. John Bakkktt, college librarian, carefully examined this manuscript, saw nearly effaced earlier loiters upon the vellnm, and, after years of persevering examination, discovered that the •almost obliterated writing comprised a large portion of the Gospel of St. Matthew, part of" Isaiah, and some orations of Gbeooßy 'NazUnsen, all written in tho uncial Greek totter, probably as early as the second cen- Inry. Ho transcribed ovory letter, and tho discovered treasure was published in quarto, .{n lBol,at'tho oxponßo of tho University, a copperplate of oaoh pago-being engraved, containing a fac-nmilt of tho nncial Greek, 'With tho ordinary Greek version opposite, and-Latin notes and references at foot. :,-‘,The Psalter was tho earliest printed portion oftlio Bible, in Hebrew, and appeared, in 'sihali iorifc, in 1477. Eleven years later, tbe entire Hebrew Bible was first printed at Son- From tbe Gerson edition, printed at Brescia in 1494, Lotiies made his translation; (jbnt the earliest volume prodneed by Gdtte.v- BEaa’a typos, 1460-’56, was a Latin Bible. 'There is' a tradition', which we met only in an pa French book, that whon this Bible,.in "Which the initial letters were printed in bright rod Ink, (to imitate the illuminated letters of the manuscripts,) was offered for sale, at .Jj’iiris, lbr a' sixth of tho usual selling price of a written book, the copyists, not detecting that it was mechanically executed, made a so 'Hocis complaint to tho magistracy that the work must have been executed with diabolical hid, And that the, vivid red of tho initial letters jwag made by using Iranian blood. The book vender, it is said, to avoid being biirnod as n ootceror} had to conmumlcato the secret of hhd nOwly discovered art of printing. The seem very probable, but there Oaftbeno doubt lhat Bible, transcriber} were 1 «•». ' In England, as early as 1290—nearly two centuries before tlia invention of printing there wo® an English versfon of tho Bible, and portions had been translated into Saxon by Aldheln, Eobbbt, Bede, and others, between tho Bth and 10th centuries. WrOLirrE, Tyn dale, Covebdalh, and others, made English translations. At last, by direction of James I, tbo present English Bible was executed, on tbo basis of Bishop Faiikeh’s version, (called the Bishop’s Bible), publishod in 1668. There were 48 learned divines employed six years, in making tho translation, authorized by King James, which was published in 1611, by Ro bert Barker. One of tho early reprints of this is commonly called « The Breeches Bi ble,” because in Genesis, chap, iii, v. 1, in stead ol the words «They sewed flgleavos together, and made themselves aprons,” tbo compositor put “ made thomsclves breeches,” There was another English Biblo in which the seventh commandment, “ Thon shalt not com mit adultery,” was carelessly rendered with tho not accidentally omitted. I In Great Britain and Ireland a singular mo nopoly in Bibles is permitted. lYb liavo an English Bible before us now, dated London, 1846, and « Printed by Geobue E. Evhe and William Spotteswoode, Printers to tho Qneon’s most Excellent Majesty.” In Scot land, the printer would bo Sir. D. Blaik ; in Ireland George Gbiehson. Those persons respectively hold tho Patoutof Qaoen’s Prin ter, and, in at least ono caso, this patont has been over one handrod years in tho same family. In England, it yields a net annual income of ?50,000, and in Scotland and Ireland about half as much. Tboso patouts secure to tho respective holders tho exclusive privilege of printing tho Biblo, tho metrical version of tho Psalms (by Tate and Buaiiy), and tho Prayer Book of tho established Protestant Episcopal Church. Should any other person print theso Interdicted works, he would ho subjected to a Stato prosecution. In England llioro is a uniform duty of three cents per pound npon paper of all qualities. But, with tho nominal view of reducing tho coat of tho word of God, all paper used for Bibles, Psal tors, and Prayer Books, is duty ireo. This monopoly ofßibie printing, commenced nearly two centuries ago, was originally based on tho necessity Ot having tho book accurately printed, which, it was thought, irresponsible privato parties might fail to effect. Tho Ro man Catholic version, rendered from tho Douay Bible, slightly differs (rom tho common English translation, and, therefore, is not subject to tlie restrictions of tho patents. In theso United States, there is no mono poly in Bibie-printing. Capital, enterprise, and good business connection have built up, hore in this Philadelphia of ours, ono of the largest Biblo-producing establishments in the world. Tho population of Great Britain and Ireland is much on a level with that of the United States, hut for every two Bibles used in tho'< old country,” five are sold in this. Jester Hakdino & Son are groat Bible makers. The energy, tact, and enterprise of the senior partnor have made the business. He entered into it, many years ago, on a very moderate scale, and now the business takes rank among the leading establishments of tho city. Thoy employ throe hundred persons every week, at tho corner of Third and Carter streets, (office of our friendly compottio(gtho Inquirer,) and in addition to this large build iag, ooenpy tho throe noxt-to-heavon floors oi-the building in which the post oflico is lo cated. This is independent of tho fact that, to supply his own consumption alono, Jester Hakdinq has a’paper-mill,' in New Jorsoy, at full work all tho year round. Hakdino’s Bililos have the text revised and corrected from tho original edition of 1611, and tho American Bible Society’s Standard of 1816. There are in all, we boliove, over sixty different Bibles issued by this firm. Those differences are madn by the various descrip tions of binding-,,from “ Shoop ” to “ Tnr key super extra hovelled boards, full gilt sideß and clasps, and oil colored engravings from original designs by Deveiieux.” Of tho quarto Bibles there are over a dozon varieties, tanging (wholesale prices) from less than one dollar to twenty-five, There is a little 32m0 edition, with metrical version of the Psalms, gilt edges, and illustrated, from forty cents to ono dollar—over 1,100 pages of small hut clear'type. The immense sales, which are heaviest in the Spring and Fall, swell small profits into a good aggregate of remuneration. The snprintendent of Messrs. Hardings’ establishment, Mr. Andrew J. Holman, a gentleman of information and intellect, lately showed ns the whole machinery of this im mense Blble-making. On one story of their building wood-engraving is carried on. Next, is a foundry for stereotyping the plates. Then. we mounted to composing rooms whore the type is set up and the stereotypes “picked out ” and corrected. Then, a de partment where half a dozen steam presses are perpetually printing off the plates. Next, the bindery-room, in which the sheets were subjected to hydraulic pressure, folded, ar ranged according to their respective “ signa tures,” sewed, out, gilt, hound, lettered, and clasped. After that, to the counting-house (directly over the Inquirer office) whore sam ples are kept, and orders for shipment execu ted. Lastly, underneath the newspaper of flco, in fact under the pavement of Carter street, the steam engine of 20-borso power, which sets all the machinery at work, and can be managed by a child. The materials used up in this establishment every yoar are most valuable. The paper alone, taking tbo consumption at 000 tons, worth s'26o,a ton; costs $1,500,00*. 'There is a barrel of the finest flour used every week to make paste, with glue in proportion; about 600,000 leaves of gold; 60 tons of pasteboard for book-covers, and so in proportion. The mere debris or ’ sweepings of the gold leaf, brushed off by the' binders, whon gilding tho edges and covers of the Bibles, are sold for $2,000 a year, and it has been estimated that if the more floor of the binding-room were to be burned, there would be a residuum of $6OO from it, so saturated with gold dust lias'it he come. All tho year rOnnd, four gilders aro at work. The folding and sewing is entirely done by females. The bOok-clasps are chiefly manufactured in Connecticut. The gold rims are imported from Franoo. Tho itilqrior, or, wo should say, tho cheaper leather for, binding is obtainod from New York. Tho fine quali ties (Turkey or goat morocco)-' are made in Philadelphia, which has long been famous for the-manufacture of firacy leathers. This sketch, rapid as it is,'may convey some idea of.Rible-making in, Philadelphia, a de partment of. production of which Jesper Harding & Son is undeniably,thp head. We assure our readers that we have been careful to avoid exaggeration, and have plainly stated the case as we found it. THE CITY, ■'iMtfiSMkNTa.THia.

Bold Robbery. —Somo time on Tnesday night last the store of John P. Barron, In Eighthjj&jiMt. above Walont, was entered and robbed of -gooda to'me araonot of about $4OO. Mr, Barron has been absent' from home for several days, and two susplclous'-looking negroes who have been seewlurktng'in that neighbor hood have several times called at the atore’ on the plea of making purchases, and while in the* store on Taes* day afternoon -succeed'd in stealing the key. The two young ladles who bad been left in charge of theetore did not miss tbe»keyuntil the hdUr for cldslog the aters, about ten o’clock in the evening. They fastened the door as well as they possibly could, and notified the policeman on tbeboat of the loss of the key. Notwith standing the precaution, however, the store was enter* ed and robbed daring the night while the gaslight-was burning. - • • ’ f Needs Repairing.— The railway bolpnging to the city is tq a very had condition. -As the cdty runs up the piaeecger railways whenever they bare an op* portunlty of doing so, it would be weU for them;to keep their own roads in order. The curve at Third and Dock' streets is In a very bad condition. The poor* mulct,' could they bat speak, would “ a tale unfold” of the lh » .««« °t>, cars stuck at this point, which- had the effect of xongre gating about thirty city passenger cars behind! them* and completely blocking up that boiy and crowded tho-' roughfare. It wai & source of considerable annoyance to the pedestrians who were in that vioinity at the time. , J Wiwa heavy freight caw rno off,the tfmck, os they d»a yesterday, it interferes very seriously with the ar rangements of the city passeoger railway ears that make nee of the same track. .We hope the city will attend to this matter promptly, and plaoe the road in a propereoodltlon, so as to prevent a recurrence of the nusbftp'frblch occurred yesterday. The Eolectio Medical College of Phila- DSLFJIU —This Institution has now a lvgs.cUesof students In attendance. There are six lectures de livered during the da/, and surgical and anatomical de monstrations in the ovening The spring session has been abandoned,' and the winter session very much lengthened, so that ihe course of instruction In this in stitution, in every department of medicine and aurgory, Is now complete. The clinical courses are full, ana give the students most ample opportunity to witness the effects of the eleotic treatment upcn nearly every variety of disease. The lectures on theory and prac tice are being illustrated by over one huudrod splendid pathological oil paintings, painted especially for the lectures. . * Another New Firk Engine.— Tho Vigi lant Engine Company, located in the Sixth ward, hare contracted with I. P, Mortis & Co., of Kensiogton. f> r a steam fire engine, of first-class power, to weigh about 6,000 pounds, which is expected to be completed by the latter part of February. It will be drawn by two hones. At present there is but one steam engine located in this ward, and that at the extreme sooth western portion of It, rendering It necessary to have one in close proximity to the city front, where much valuable p-oporty is stored. When the Vigilant is com pleted, this company will form a connecting link with the Northern Liberty Bone on the north, and the Hope and Hibernia on the south. Houses Found Open.— Several houses were found open on Wednesday night by the officers of the Second district, who notified the proprietors of the fact. The doors and windows of a grocery store at Swanson street and Mead alley were opened by means of a nipper and robbed of three kits of mackerel. Also, a house in Fifth street, below South, and a house at No. 610 south Fourth street. Nothing was stolen, however, as the thieves were fearful of being detected by the vigilant policemen of that dintrict. The occu pants of the house No. 610 south Fourth a k reet gave the alarm to the policemen aod whou the latter entered the house the rogues escaped through the back way without having had time to secure any booty. Meeting op Butchers.— A meetiag of the butchers of our city was held on Wednesday evening at Douglass’ Hotel, in Sixth street, to take some action to prevent, if possible, the passage in the Select Oenn cil of the ordinance establishing curbstone markets in certain designated localities Mr. Georgs J Runner presided. It appeared to be the general feeling of the meeting that such an ordinance would be highly inju rious to botchers and farmers, and a motion was adopt ed to appoint a committee to wait npon Councils aud protest against the ordinance. The meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the ofiioers. Return op Mr. William J. Phillips The superintendent of the municipal telegraph, Mr. William 3. Phillips, who has been absent from the city for some time past, on a visit to (Juba for Ms health, returned yesterday morning to tho Central Station, in excellent health and spirits Mr. P. for years has been ardently devoted to the business of telegraphing, and no man iu the Union h#B a better practical knowledge of Its de tails We are Indeed gratified to chronicle his return to a sphere of aotive usefulness. The Tobacco Warehouse. — This building was leased on Wednesday evening for the sum of $6,700 per annum. The lease was made At public vendue to the Philadelphia Warehousing Company. This is ft very good operation for the city, as It relieves it of an expense of $1,400 and brings in a revenue of $0,700. The roln'urara price fixed by Councils vr*s $5,000 per annum, wrich the warehousing company offered. Atter finding, however, that it had been decided by Councils not to lease It to them directly, bot to the highest bid der, they changed their views, and gave the above named sum for it. Old Offenders Yesterday morning Al dermtu Freemau sent two notorious pickpockets, named Robert Whitehead aud Frank Dillon, to prison. The pair were taken into custody on Wednesday, in Second street, near Market, by some of the Fifth-ward officers, under the instructions of Lieut. Gouidy. The prisoners belong to that class of thieves who make'it their business to be on hand on all market days, and pick the pockets of those upon whom any pecuniary Loss falls heavily. Jewelry Store Robbed.— Early yesterday morning, the jewelry store of Mr. Lephart, in Poplar street, was broken into and robbed of a number of watches, together with a considarable quantity of jewelry, to the amount of $l6O. Tho door was found open, and the key was staking in the lock upon the in side. There were no marks upon the key of nippers haring been used upon It It is mysterious how admit tance to the store was gained, and it is equally strange that but aeinall portion of tho stock was stolsn. Slight Fire.—About four o’clock, yester day morning, Ofllosr McKinney, of the Fifth district, noticed a fire in tbe stable of Mr. Mco»llau, iu George Btroet, above Twentieth. He proceeded to the spot, and succeeded in extinguishing tho flames before any amount of damage was done. The Chess Contest. —Tho return game of the chess contest, now going on between Philadelphia and New York, will be played to-morrow evening, Philadelphia having the first more. The Philadelphia players will occupy their old quarters, Third below Chestnut, and the moves will be transmitted from city to city over the American Telegraph Company’s wires, under the management of Mr. Bullock. False Charge.— A few days ago we' stated that admirably executed counterfeit gold dollars had been found up >n the persons of two men who were ar rested for attempting to pass them. It has since been discovered that tbe coins were really genuine ! It seems strange that the genuineness of the coin was not ascertained at the time the individuals had their bear ing, by submitting it to some one who was really capa ble of judging between tbe spurious and the genuine. Arrests for Larceny.—Joseph Smith was arrested yesterday morning on the charge of having stolen $46 from Jacob Graham, who resides at Sixteenth and Pitzwater streets. Alderman Femington sent him below to await bis trial. A colored m»n who gave the name of William Kane was arrested yesterday morning while endeavoring to sell a quantity of clothes he had stolen from a clothes-line on Wednesday night. Assault and Battery and Attempted Robbery.— A man named John palmer bad a hearing before Alderman Butler, yesterday morning, on the charge of assaulting and attempting to rob a young man- The affair occurred on Washington avenue .'near Coates street, in the Seventh district. Palmer saccerded’ in obtaining a sum of money from the pockets. of tbe complainant. He was cqmmiUed in default of $5OO bail. 1 TWO CENTS. THE COURTS. THE AILIBONE ANB MEWHAIL CASE. NXNTK DA^.

The Sixth is the last of this tissue of accusations. It was, as opened,,a Joint robbery, by these defendants, of the bank, by purloining a $lO,OOO cheek. Twice it was savagely stated that at an unusual aud early hour these defendants, went to that bank, ■ and stole that piece of Its property. This precious item, first brought to the Commonwealth’s attention daring our adjourn ment of last week, was attempted to be shown by Mr. Orne. It is not my province to repeat his evidence or comment upon it; but here, as werywhere in'the cause, the Commonwealth established oue Innocence. We will show more, gentlemen. We will show it was a meritorious act.- A respectable firm needed tbat money.. .It was then a depositor. And,we did our doty io giviig it a good cheek. To have done less would have been eminently wrong. - Mr. Newhall’s branch of this case will be opened to you by my learned and able friend who particularly re presents him. I have carefally abstained from'saying a word which might be regarded oh inappropriate to my case, bat .yon-will receive from Mr. Newhall and hia counsel the fullest and most,complete explanations and vindication of every chars*! 'Should this promise ba fulfilled—should wo wipe off the only matter ajs'nst ns ; npon this record—then, gentlemen, we shall ssk you 1 with great confidence to give us a prompt and fall ac quittal. Your vindication will atleaet be some repara tion of the wrong that has been done us. Fright e\ea and beating hearts—round now desolate fi*e ides—are straining forward, anxious for the first intelligence of tbat welcome news. Do not withhold it, gentlemen, and when yon stand, before the last High Court the jueiice you have shown to others shall.trumpet-tongued,plead in turn for you. Mr. Brewster’s speech was listened to with breathless interest and attention, and was the subject oFgeneral admiration for its good taste and quiet pubos. Daring the delivery of certain passages in it,Mr. Allibone, as well as ( there, was visibly affected. Mr. Brewster was followed by Mr. Thayer, whoso powerful opening for Mr. Newhall the pressure on onr columns compels us reluctantly to omit The facte which Mr. Thayer proposes to offer will (it sustained oy the evidence) completely exculpate Me. Newhall. GENERAL NEWS. A case of dreadful DESTITUTION is men tioned in tbe Cincinnati papers. A woman was found stretohfd on dirty-straw in a stable, flapp ing to bar bosom a child uppare&tly about two months old, and vainly endeavoring to giro it sus tenance but. Instead, it* drew nothing but blood from her exhausted breasts. The woman was ap parently not more than thirty-jive yearn old, al though the mother of seven children, all of whom were with her in tho miserable hovel where she was found hbe had been well raised, and had seen better days, much better—Bhe could not have seen worse days—and, until a period of two years after her marriage, bad known no want. But. her husband yielded to an appetite for liquor, became first a drunkard, then a sot, and finally abandoned ANew- Religious Sect in NewHamf9iiire. —Anew seotof Perfectionists has arisen in New Hampshire* where they have held meetings at Concord and Dover. They think of calling them selves “Tbe Orthodox Catholic Church.” Alto gether, they number about one hundred. They believe in community of goods. Civil law they do not regard. Thoir laws are Bible laws. They hold that after one has once received the reviving influence of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible for him, not only to fall from grace, bat even to be tempt ed. They believe in the speedy comingof the Sa viour. The time is not yet revealed, hut soon will be. Three apostles, who are to' have charge of their affairs, have been chosen, who aro spoken of as very successful second-advent preachero in times past. Escaped, — A convicted negro' murderer, named Dade, we learn from ihe Detroit Free Press, has lately made a second escape from tho penitentiary of Michigan; undermining the whole prison, lxfe-oells and nil. Thoro.iano hang ing for murder in Michigan, and repeated escapes have been made by the life prisoners. Duel Between Printers.— Two* printers, R. A. Beasley, of Richmond, Va., and Sas. Mc- Gowan, of New York, had an “affair of honor” near St. Louis, last Saturday - . They fired twico. and because neither was injured cce of the papers intimates that the pistols had no bullets in them. A most remarkable confession was nmdo on Wednesday by the boy Stapleton, who was arrest ed, togother with his uncle, James Leahy, on sus picion of setting fire to the store No. 379 Water street. A more deliberate and diabolical caso of arson has never come to our knowlodgo. Tho boy narrates with great precision all the incidents of the affair; how he was bribed by his uncle to do the deed, and how ho wont te work to accom plish his demoniac purpose. A man named Lynch, who is implicated by thaoonfession of tho boy, haß been arrested and held for examination. [N. T. Timn. The orange crop of Louisiana this season is very largo, and tho crop is selling from planta tions at from six to eight dollars per thousand. Last year a planter below the oity was offered for $1,500 a small tract of land adjoining his. and which was planted with orange trees of full growth. He refused, and this season tho owner of the traot in question has sold his orange crop for $3,000. At Athens, Maine, a teacher in ono of the sohooU undertook to correot a scholar, when another scholar interfered to prevent the punish ment. The master thereupon drew a knife and stabbed the boy in neok. The wound w.is considered a dangerous one by the physioian . Tbe name of the teooher (and also of the boy stabbed) is John Rhinca. ' Mr. Giddings, the contractor for carrying tho overland mail from San Antonio to Sari Diego, has entered into contract with tho Government to oarry the mail weekly from New Orleans to San Diego!
