FACTS ABOUT IRELAND.

I. Increased Demand for Church Room.-By return lately made by ecclesiastical commissioners for Ireland, it appears 1st, that there are sixty places in which public worship is celebrated in unconsecrated buildings for want of churches: 2dly, that there are 120 churches known to the commissioners as standing in urgent need of enlargement. II. Since the Union in 1801, no less than 700 new churches have been built in Ireland. III. Increase of Protestantism.-In the year 1792, the number of Protestants in Ireland was (according to Wakefield) 522,023; of Roman Catholics, 3,211,097. In 1835 the numbers are returned,

Roman Catholics 6,427,712; Protestants, 1,516,228, the latter being known to be considerably below the truth. Thus, while the Romanists have doubled since 1792, the Protestants have become, at least, three times as numerous. IV. The following nine priests have lately renounced the errors of the Romish church. 1. Mr. Nolan; 2. Mr. Croly; 3 and 4. Michael and William Crotty; 5. Mr. Delany; 6. Mr. Godkin, of Armagh; 7. Mr. Burke, of Westport; 8. Mr. Tankard; 9. Mr. Malvanny.-Cambridge Chronicle.

CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS IN LONDON.

WITHIN the London bills of mortality there are 502 places of public worship; 4,050 seminaries of education, including 237 parish charity schools; eight societies for the express purpose of promoting the learned, the useful, and polite arts; 122 asylums and almshouses for the helpless and indigent, including the Philanthropic Society; thirty hospitals and dispensaries for sick and lame, and for delivering poor pregnant women; 704 friendly or benefit societies, and institutions for charitable and humane purposes; which several institutions are supported at the almost incredible sum of 750,000l. per annum.

Quarterly Review.

OCTOBER, MDCCCXXXVII.

ART. I.-1. The Book of the Patriarch Job, translated from the original Hebrew, as nearly as possible in the terms and style of the authorized English Version; to which is prefixed an Introduction on the History, Times, Country, Friends, and Book of the Patriarch, &c. &c., and to which is appended a Commentary, critical and exegetical, containing Elucidations of many other Passages of Holy Writ. By SAMUEL LEE, D.D., Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University of Cambridge. Duncan. 1837. 2. Jobi Antiquissimi Carminis Hebraici Natura atque Virtutes; scripsit CAROLUS DAVID ILGEN, AA. LL. M. Lipsiæ. Sumptibus Joh. Benj. Georg. Fleischeri. 1789.

PROFESSOR LEE has evidently bestowed great labour on his present translation; but it is to be regretted that he has cramped it by an accommodation to the style of the Authorized Version. The book of Job contains difficulties which exceed those which occur in other parts of the Hebrew Bible; it has been the subject of incessant disputes, and affords a more extensive scope to critical inquiries, than any other within the range of the sacred canon; therefore we think that Professor Lee has judiciously acted in making it the first of his contemplated series of translations.

His Introduction has somewhat disappointed us; not because it is wanting in valuable remarks and acute criticisms, but because it has not embodied the various treatises, which have before appeared on the separate divisions of its subject. In the first question, which treats of Job's real existence, an immense body of matter is unnoticed. For, whilst Maimonides, Le Clerc, Michaelis, Semler, and others of inferior celebrity, have impugned the notion of Job having been a real person, the converse has been as vigorously asserted by Leusden, Heidegger, Carpzov, Van Till, Spanheim, Schultens, Ilgen, and many more, whose literary researches command respect. The former proceeded on mere
