LANDS OF ILLINOIS
No State in the valley of the Almaissipm Miele so
great an inducement to the nattier MB the State of
nois. Vero is no portion of the world where all of the
conditions of climate and soil so admirably combine to
produce those two great staple., corn and wheat, as the
Prairies of Inmate.
RICH ROLLING PRAIRIE LANDS.
The deep rich loam of the prairies us cultivated with
noh wonderful facility that the farmers of the East
em and Middle States are moving to Illinois in great
numbers. The area of Illinois is about equal to that of
England. and the poll is so rich that it will support
twenty millions of people.
EASTERN AND SOUTHERN MARKETS,
These lands are 001a11110111i to a riilroad seven hun
dred miles in length, which oonnects with other roads
and navigable lakes and rivers, thus allbrding an un
broken communication with the Eastern and Southern
markets.
APPLICATION OF CAPITAL.
Thus far capital and labor have been applied to de
veloping the soil the great resources of the State in
coal and iron are almost untouched. The invariable
role %battle meotazinio arts flourish best where food
and fuel are cheapest, will follow at an early day in Il
linois, and in the course ofthe next ten team the natu
renews and necessities of the cage warrant the belief
that at least Aye hundred thousand people will be en
gaged in the State of Illinois in the various manufac
turing employments.
RAILROAD SYSTEM OF ILLINOIS.
Over 11100,003.000 of private capital have teen ex
pended on the railroad system of Illinois. Inasmuch as
part of the income from several of these works, with a
valuable public fund in lands, go to dinunish the State
expenses, the tares are light, and must consequently
every day decrease.
TILE STATE DEBT.
The State debt in only $10,105,393 14, and within the
hurt three TSUI has ;been reduced $2,959,746 SO ; and
we mar reasonably expeot that in ten years it will be
ams extinct.
PRESENT POPULATION
The State is rapidly filling up with population ; 868,0 2 8
persons having been added innoe 1860, making the pre
sent population 1,719,496—a ratio of 102 per cent. in ten
year*
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
The agrioultural prodnete of lllinow are greater than
!hedge allay other State. The products sent out dur
ing the past year exceeded 'AMOS tone. The wheat
orop or MO approaohes 56,000.000 bushels,' while the
corn crop yields not leas than 110.000,000
FERTILITY OF BOIL.
Nowhere can the industrious farmer secure much im
mediate results for his labor as upon these prairie soils,
they being e o mpoaed of a deep, nett loam, the fertiliti
of which is unsurpassed by any on the globe.
TO ACTUAL CULTIVATORS.
Since 1854 the Company hays sold 1410,000 acres.
They sell only to actual cuttitators, and every contract
contains an agreement to cultivate. The road has been
constructed through these lands at an expense of 530.-
00141700. /nlB5O. the reputation of the forty-nine coun
ties through which el pewee was only MPS, singe
which MPS have been added, making the whole popu
lation 1314,891--a gain of leper cent. ss
EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY.
As an evidence of the thrift of the people, it rosy be
stated that woo tone of freight, including MOO.=
bushels of grain and 250,000 barrels of lionr, were for
warded over the line last year.

PRICES ANT) TERMS OF PAYMENT.
The prices of theee lands vary from SO to 825 per
acre, according to location, quality, &o. First-close
fanning lands sell for about $lO or 812 per acre ; and
the relative expense of subduing prairie land, as com

Royal arms of Hungary are placed at ihehcit
tosi of this doCument; Before dlieeting these'
notes to be lithographed, Kossttth took the;
best legal aditlce, as also did Mr. Day, andwas'
assured that Isischlithographing and printing
contravened no laW of gngland.
A policemisi e who heard of the affisiT t .suc-.
eeeded in obtaining a sheet 'cif the prbitdil
notes, which vists- placed , in,thehands of. Sir
G. C. Lawispirome ISecretsuy, from *hoist .
came a cautiotht9 Mr. Day to ; hold. hie haiid.
until the opinion of the law-officer& of the
Crown could I:4' obtained.
This was &fie at the - instance of. Count
Appanyi, .A.usiiiin Ambassador, and the legal
opinion, was. that Kossuth violated no law in
what he had *mimed doing.' The Cabinet
intimated thats the Administrative Govern
.
meat, at least, had no power to interfere, and
withdrew the temporary' eitriction which bad
been placed upon Mi. Day, the lithographer.
At once, the Austrian Ambassador in the
name of his nurter, as Emperor of Austria
and King of .12Inngary and Bohemia, applied
to the ince Chancellor's Court to restrain Mr.
Day from isgning the notes. His .grounds
were that, the Emperor had the sole right to
issue paper-money in Hungary; the sole right
to affix the arms of Hungary to any document;
and that he believed Kossuth intended to use
these notea, anfong other purposes, to pro
mote revolutiOn and disorder :in Hungary.
The injunction
. was issued, ati a ;matter of
course. In a few days, Kossuth . applied to
have it dissolved, filing -an affidavit contra.
dieting the allegations on behalf of the Em
peror of Austria. The Vice Chancellor's far
ther hearing of_ the cage was postponed to the
16th April. Kossuth's affidavit contains such
remarkable disclosures, that we shall briefly
condense its leading points here.
It atetezi Komutb to 'be by birth a Hun-.
garian noble. -That when the Emperor of
Austria, Ferdinand V.; ceased to be King of
Hungary, in E848,-Kostroth was nationally
elected Governor-Fresidant of Hungary, was
sworn in as such ; that this election was never
nullified nor rairciked;and that no person bad
been accepted or crowned as King of Hungary
since Ferdinand V. resigned that Crown.
That Francis Joseph, present Emperor of
Austria, is not and never has been King of
Hungary, either de facto or de jure : not de
facto, as the Hungarianlaw requires the King
to be mined within six months of the death
of a deceased King; and not de jure, as the
last King, Ferdinand V., still lives, and, even
if dead, his succession could go only to his
next heir, which Francis Joseph is not. That
the Estates of Hungary ) which had refused
permission to any •King to issue notes, had
granted such permission, in 1848, to Louis
Kossuth, and had never revoked its license.
That there dn not now exist, nor ever have ex
, isted, any Royal =sof Huitgaryi the Crown,
a most important part of the arms, being the
property of tiMilitmer,:arnk not., of gm King,
even if he had been lawfully . - crowned, and,
all the nobles being members of the Sacred
'Crown of - Hungary, Kossnthhad a right to nee
the emblem. That, in the notes, which bear
no resemblance to any issued by the Emperor
of /marls, the Hungarian Crown was intro
duced as ornamentation, and not to give appa
rent authenticity to the documents. That the
notes were prepared, not for. any spurious
issue, but to be ready, if the contingency
should arise in Hungary, when they could law
ully be issued. •
Such, in a very condensed form, is Kee
-1 suth's singular statement, upon oath, and it
would appear to have caused great sensation
among the legal profession in England. The
Emperor Ferdinand V., who was crowned
King of Hungary, in 1830, resigned in favor
of his nephew, Francis Joseph, on December
2, 1848—but, seventeen days later, the Hun
garian Diet solemnly agreed not to accept this
resignation. Therefore, the uncle, Ferdinand,
continues King of Hungary, and not the ne
phew, Francis Joseph, according to the prin
ciples of that Legitimacy which the House o
Hapsbonrg are children and champions.
The impression in England is that the Vice
Chancellor will dissolve the injunction granted
upon Count Apponyi's ex parte statement,
and that, should he indict Kossuth, in a cri
minal Court, no Grand Jury can find a true
bill.
Some English Maglizines.
The most careless person can , notice, with half
an eye, as the saying is; that a great change has
lately come over the English magazines. The
new impulse ;same from this country, and was
commenced by Harper's, which has the largest
circulation ever obtained by any monthly periodi-
Oat in any country. It has been kept up by the
Atlantic Monthly,.the proSperity_of which, in the
hands of Ticknor -A Fields, is a fixed fact which
we are happy to mind. A few monthi ago, the.
Kauckerbocker came ' , into the ring, with new vi-
tidily, and is doing promisingly, we belleve
Thaokeray took the Idea of a cheap magazine item
Harper's, we, are very sure. lie gave, for one
British shilling, as mach original and good letter
press, with illustrations, its Blacktoood, without
engravings, has long charged two shillings and six
pence for. Indeed, we find the Cornhill Maga
zine, (sent to us by Callender A Co., South Third
street,) more agreeable reading, by far, than old
Ebony has been since John Wilson's - surveillance
and authorship closed'.
_Then there is Mr. Sala's
magazine, called •2'enspls-Bar, which we receive
with commendable punctuality from Mr. W. B.
Zieber, South - Third-etreet. - -This else is low in
price, but adrairable In contents.: There is
MeMillan's Magazineyedited by David Mas.son,
in which appears" Tom 'BroVil at 'Oxford," and
other capital articles. and, -this very month, we
find Mrs. S. C. Bell -addreising her own sex
general, and all the world at large, in the St.
fames' Magazine, a new venture of her own.
These two last-named magazines we have never
seen, but have assurance that they are good. The
whole four constitute a quadrilateral fortress of
cheap and good periodloalism, which Blackwood,
Bentley, Ainsworth, and, the Dub/in University
will find it tough Work to destroy.
The continuing- chapters of "Philip," the new
novel by Thackeray, run pleasantly along, but
the story scarcely advances. There is a very
sensible Roundabout Paper, and Nramley Person
age winds up—exigttly as the reader would have.
There is a searching discussion about lawyers, and
a good account of The Irish Convict System. But
the gem of this number is a large plate, drawn
by Richard Doyle, and engraved by Dallied, which
is entitled "At Rome----fitnall and Early—Re-
treatments," whioh is the first of a series of
Bird's-eye Vier; of Soeiety, and which, in the
minute manner of the illustrations of " Mr. Pips,
his Diary," in Puna., years ago, exhibits a crowd
of well-dressed people, of all ages and both sexes,
crushing together in the refreshment-room at a
small party, where (saving the bull) one might say
many more are in the room than the house can
hold. A most wonderful picture this is; and the
letter-press also is by Mr. Doyle.
Mr. Sala's new Magazine, Temple Bar, has ao-
Wally entered into its second volume. Think of
that. The opening number appeared in December,
and here, in April, we have the Magazine already
in that independently which, in life, young ladies
affect when they have gone out of the nursery and
into their teens. Temple Bar ' we Walt sew, is a
'
very good magazine and Mr , flata's ' own story,
" The Seven Sons of Mammon," is the best article
in it. John Osenford, a good critic, but rarely a
good raconteur, here has a powerful Irish tale, en
titled "From Generation to Generation." A no
tice of Scribe, the dramatist, the continuation of
" For better, for Worse,"`and aortrions yarn, of the
toughest nature, called " Col onel Bowie and his
Knife," are other noticeable papers in this Arial
number of TemPle Bar.
RELIGIOUS.
Revised Version of the Gospel by
Matthew.*
In an article published in Ths Press, In Janu
ary, 1850, we gave several reasons in favor of a re
vised translation of the Holy Scriptures, and re
ferred at some length to various movements then
on toot, looking to an early consummation of such
a Work. Additional observation has strengthened
our conviction, that 'a •more perfect and modern
ized translation is much needed. No better proof
can be had of this than the faot that almost every
minister of the Gospel who attempts to expound the
Scriptures at all, bases some, and generally the
most important,' of his comments, upon " a more
correct rendering of the original." That this pre
vailing custom has had a tendeney to turn the un
learned reader from the printed word to clerical
exposition;• is probable, while it has also pro
moted a certain degree of professional distance be-
Avrean clergy and laity ; yet no one interested in
.platting the word of God in the hands of all, ought
to object .to its being presented in saoh , English
as shall, as far all practicable, convey a true ides
'of, to quote the words of good old William Tyndale,
the process, order, and meaning of the [original)
Ant." •
That there should be some prejudice against
any revision of the resolved version is not our•
!whirl, and that it will ever be asoompliehed In a
setiefaatory manner to all pieneniiriationall par
iles,le by no means probable, ie not a few of the
minor differences whioh to=day divide Protestant
deniiminatione dud their corner- Steno in centre•
.vaned renderings of certain words. This feat has
alw hitherto presented the greatest barrier to a
poppies' revision, the various ecolesintioal wheels
being, of course, unwilling to trust so important a
work in hands which, however conscientious their
matives, Might impart to it more or less of their
own denominatimial tint.l The proper mode, pro
bahly, of ooneninmsting this objeot, would be to
submit it to a representation of the ablest philole
gists and theologians of all denominations—al
though, should this be attempted, it would doubt
les& prove a very inharmonious convocation, from
the. foot that religions prejudioes are always the
most difiteult to eradloate.
The Amerioan Bible Union, at New York, has for
some, years maintained an organization having for
its object Ef revision of the Scriptures, and the first
instalment of their labors ie now before us—the
Gospel by Matthew—by Rev. T. J. Conant ; a
beautifully-printed quarto of 171 pages, to whioh
is appended an elaborate criticism on the word
Baptinein. The work la admirably arranged for
the purpose intended, whioh is, to submit it "for
the examination of scholars," in order to obtain
their criticisms: The letter-press is given in three
colinens on a page, the Greek text in the centre,
with the King James version on one side, and the
revised version on the other, a liberal amount of
space ; being allotted to explanatory foot-notes set
ting forth the critical reasons for the alterations
made in the rendering. The revised column is
printed in paragraph form, the verses being de
signated by their corresponding numbers in the
margin.
The' new- version contains almost as many Men- 1
dations as there are verses in the book, although
by far the greater part of them, while they im
prove the phraseology, by modernizing it, present
no material change in the sense. The aim of the
revisora (for although Dr. Conant, one of the ablest
philologists living,is alone accredited with the work,
he has, we learn, been ably assisted by other emi
nent theologians) has evidently been to literalize
and modernize. In treating this they have made
many alterations which will strike most readers as
unimportant ; yet, if we are to have a revision, too
much thoroughness, even in minute particulars, is
impossible. 'A much-needed improvement, we ob
serve, has been made in correcting and modern
izing the punctuations, which, in the received ver
sion, are particularly erroneous, from the fact that
when it was made the punctuation marks were need
in a different sense from that whioh we now apply to
them,*as e. g , substituting the colon (:) for the com
ma (.). In most instances the supplied words, given
in *adzes, are omitted in the new version, and
the phraseology otherwise abbreviated, making
stronger 60100 and better syntax. Uniformity in
spelling proper names is also observed. In speak
ing of persons, the pronoun who has been eubsti
tnted for which, and in snob words .as " °meth,"
" saitli;" "betrayeth," and " leadeth," the final
eth has given piece to s, as "cornea," "leads," An.
In the beatitudes, in Matt. v., the Greek maka
nos is rendered "happy" Instead of " blessed,"
thus, " Happy the merciful ; for they shall obtain
mercy," although, with less than the usual uni
formity evinced, the word hoti is here translated
"for," whilst in a similar connection, in the Nth
verse of the same chapter, the same word is ren
dered, more forcibly we think, because : "Neither
shaft thou swear by thy head, because thOu cant
not make one hair white or Mask." For "Mae.
ter," as applied to our Lord, we have "Teacher,"
from the Greek dedaskalos, a rendering which we
have also of the same word in the received version,
in this among other passages : "And he gave some
apostles, * * and some pastors and teachers."
In the parable of the wheat and the tares, Matt.
xiii., the word" darnel" is a Substitute for" tares,'i
with a foot-note explanation that the latter do not
answer in any way to the terms of the parable,
whilst the bearded darnel, which the Greek word
implies, answers perfectly.
A chief defect In our common translation con
sists in this, that in it the same word in the origi
nal, is variously and very differently rendered,
whilst on the other hand, words of widely.different
meaning are, endered in the same word in Eng
lish. We have, therefore, a right to expect that
in a corroded edition this alionld be, if possible,
avoided. To speak more accurately of the defect
referred to, a few illustrations will suffice: The
Greek word dicacmos occurs in the Christian Scrip
tures (as distinguished from the Scriptures of Is
rael) a number of times, and is variously rendered
" deacon," " servant," and " minister." Now,
however nearly related may be the radical thought
Of these three words, they are, according to popu
lar usage, essentially different. Dr. Conant has
not only preserved this looseness of rendering, if
We may use the phrase, but be has made it still more
diverse by translating diakonas, Matta xxii., 13,
" attendants." The same criticism applies to many
English words, which, in our common version,
stand for a variety of words in the original, as, for
example, the word world, which appears in the
King James translation as the tendering of noises
than four Greek terms, which are anything , but
synonyms—viz : " aion," ge," " Kosmos," and
" atkoumene." Scholars and commentators, of
course, distinguish between these words, as that
" 1 sion " more properly means the age or dispen
sation ; "ge," the earth ; " Kosmos," the entire
Order of things upon it, and " oikoutnene," the
land, or territory, as of an empire ; but, certainly,
for the English reader, some such distinction in our
own tongue ie needed. In the new version of Mat
thew now presented there is not as much thorough
ness evinced in thin particular as might be desired,
although, In many regatta, it is an undoubted im
provement upon the old. Hades, instead of being
tendered " hell," as in our version, is translated
" under world," the former (hell) being restricted
to the word Gehenna; and instead of using the
word Gospel, in the text, the term "good news,"
its literal meaning, is given.
The new rendering in this version, however,
Which of all others will probably create most stir
in ecclesiastical communities, is the enbatitution of
"immerse" for "baptise."
Matthew xxviii, 19, in our version reads as fol
lows "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." In the revised
version it is Tendered thus: "Go ye, therefore,
and disciple all nations, immersing them in the
name 'of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy ?Spirit."
The three alterations here noticed are uniformly
observed, maeheteno being invariably rendered
" disciple ;" pneuma "Spirit," and baptizo
" immerse." /n order to meet anticipated objec
tions to this new rendering, there is appended a
criticism, extending through 107 pages, on (( The
meaning and use of Baptizesn, philologically and
historically investigated ;" also, by Dr. Conant,
the latter feeling, as he says, that in " substi
tuting the literal English meaning of this word for
its Anglicized form, in a revision of the New Testa
ment for popular use, a just deference to public
opinion, as well as to Christian feeling, requires
that the reasons of this change should be fully set
forth." Then follow' two hundred and thirty-six
examples, showing usages of Greek writers in using
this term (Baptczein) in the literal, physical
sense; also in the tropical or figurative sense.
Examples are given of the word in compoeition
with a preposition, which in turn are followed
by a summaryef its lexical and grammatical need;
the application of these results to the New Testa
ment ; the usages of the Churoh Fathers with re
gard to this rite ; the requirements and practices
of the Western, or Latin Church ; the practice of
the Church of England; usage of the versions;
views of scholars of different perm:alone, end
winding np with the writer's defined obligations
to translate this word as be has done, as a duty
which he alleges rests on something more than
grounds of mere philological correctness.

On Tuesday, Italevy's grand spectacular opera
of "La Snivel" "(The Jewess) Will be produced for
the first time: When this opera was first produced
in garis, Mr. Alfred Buitnl—England's lyric poet, ao
Pun Ch. styled him—being ccrtineed:of its great
dramatic specialities, bad it immediately dime-
Used for Drury LAM Theatre, retaining all the
moot salient portions of the tumid, and an excel

Mrs.. Charles Rpm) sustained the part of the he

• The recent production of this opera, for the first
time in New York, created a great sensation.
Neither pains nor expense were spared on this
unanimotigradmitted-to-be lialevy's great cul
minating work. Much curiosity and interest are
manifested' concerning its' prodnetion here. The
plot is highly dramatic, and affords rook alike, for
lyric, dramatic, and spectacular display, as will be
seen by the following brief synopsis of the story.
The scene is laid in Constance, in 1414:
Leopold, a prince of the Empire, returning from
the wars,. is violently smitten .with the beauty of
Rachel, daughter of Lazarus, the Jew. To win
her affeetlens, he pretends to be an Israelite, and in
the guise of a painter makes an easy conquest of
the maiden's heart. Occasional exerOlses of in
fluence, however, in matters where only the high
could have successfully interposed their authority,
mite tha suspicions of Rachel, and she soon dis
covers that the Samuel (as he calls himself) is none
other than the Prince Leopold and the husband
Of the Princess Endozia. Overcome with tags
and indignation, she publicity accuses him of his
crime, arid the offence, punishable with ileath, is
oonsidered so heinous, that the Cardinal pro-
flounces his maledietion and excommunication on
the etdprits. Rackel, Lazarus. and Leopold are
placed under arrest to await execution. During
this brief period, Rudozio,, the rightful wife
Of. Leopold, intercedes with Racket, and by
exhibiting how unselfish is her rightful love ;
induces her Jewish rival to relent in her ha
tred and to intercede for the life of Leopold.
This the discs by pronouncing her former state
ment a fabrication of mere jealous frenzy, and de
void of truth. The noble prisoner is at once ba
nished, but Ilactzel is again condemned to death
with her father for oonspiring against the life of
the man whom by this fiction she had just saved.
Lazarus, whose sturdy faith and hatred of the
Christians have supported him throughout, cam
nothing for dying, but determines to be revenged
on the Cardina/, who not only has pronounced
his fate, but is the head of the Church which he
hates. In a narrative he relates that the daughter
who has just suffered death is not his own, but one
by adoption, pinked from the burning ruins of
the Cardinal's palace, at Rome, daring a tiataS
trophe there, and the Cardinal's own child.
