Now putili•bed, prict One Shilling, No. VI. of THE _ _ COMIC HISTORY of ENGLAND BY GILBERT ABBOTT k BECKETT. Was .. COLOURED ETCNINO m Wren. AND umutous ILLUSTRA TIONS BY .1011 S LEECH. Pwasnx:lv.. In announcing a Comic Illidory of England it may be necessary to chime :hat the levity implied in the title will relate to the manner, bu: by no means to the matter of the work, which will be collected a.tr the gravest regard to the truth and accuracy that the subject requires. The aim of the writer will be to present a faithful nor:dive, to: which the best authorities will be the mcnt carefully consulted, and to ferre it up to the reader in a more palatable form than has hitherto been th , tight compatible with the dignity of history. There is not the simiiicst intention to sacrifice fidelity to fun in the forthcoming production, which is designed to chow that the utile et dulee are not insepu..ble. The advantages of blending amusement with instrues tan are universally allowed ; and there ts an end to the once favourite hliey that food for the mind requires the uninviting flat our of phyaic. The C lM IC I I Dim RY of ENGJAN II will not be a mere abridgment of anyotber work, nor will it follow aersilely in the steps of any former hitorian. The author does not aspire to walk in the gigantic shoes of Home, the ec,y slippers of Smollett, the goloshes of Goldsmith, or the pumps of liantock. In literature the shoes of another are too apt to prove togs to the party attempting to make his way in a chauerure for which he was never fitted. The Comic History of England will, therefore. be an entire ly original composition, the materials for which will be tit rived from a consultation of all the best histories already in existence, whose accuracy will be tested by direct reference to the most undoubted authorities. The chief purpose of this preliminary announcement In to guard the pubic against any misconception of the intended character of the work on account of its title. A narrative may, it Is hoped, be correct a , well as comic; for, to "truth is stranger than fiction,' history is sometimes much more ludicrous than the fancies of the humorist. The porN,e of the work being explained. it remains only to announce the form of publication. It will appear in Monthly Parisi, price One Shilling each, handsomely printed in five., and copiously illustraowl by Jolts LI.:F.CH, with One large Etching and from Ten to FUteen Wood Engravings. The COMIC HISTORY of ENGLAND wilt comprise from Twelve to Tye:ay Parts, and will appear regularly with the monthly maga rnes itil its completion. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. " 11i • politic is deeply indebted to the erudite author of this new Priori Ititory of Lag and. Having formerly translated Illuekatone Into a ••t le that may be read without a yawn, be has in the opening number of his Diatom dente the same good service for the still drier dissertations with which Arehreolog!cal journals, and the Arehirologi eal Societies are laboriously stuffed . "—Daily News. " Th..t indefatigable wit and humouriet, Gilbert A Beckett, has weamciced a new labour of drollery. IW - inn transmogrified that grave eat horned personage, Blackstone, into the merriest mad wag on earth, he nova take 1111111 C Lingarl, Tecate., and the other very Traceable high priests deli° In hand, and by the force of mimic Soda- converts them into the pleasantest punsters, and most gro tesque spin ts in creation. He is ably assisted in bis work by the ima guatno Leech, who gives a form unit substance to the airy crotchets of k EcketCa brain. 'The Landing of Julies Ciente is a glorious concept ,n. The illustrious {lnman stands on the paddle-box of his steamer, and there sumo - s the invincible tenth legion whipping the faindwieh Elam in the Moot orthodox manner. To do oar ancestors every justice, they w. re, according to G. A. a Beckett and his inter preter Leech, iw fine a pet of savages as ever dined off their enemies without either salt or mustard. This History of Englan I will, doubt less be a mach greater favourite with ' Young England than the Elites vet drh go by that name, composed by Hume, Goldsmith, and the rest."—Xlirrning Post. • nWe predict for tide vatic almost unexampled popularity. In it hietorie truth and wit of tine polish unit easy flow are blended without appareLt effort. In and amusement walk arm-in-arm, bugeir r, moralising, teaching —the pleasantest of modern peripate ties. As the author sacs, 'There is not the smallest intencice, to verifier fidelity to fon, the design brine to show that the stile et did are not inseparable. Mr. A Beckett, as far as the flirt part of his alarming history goes, has fulfilled his design, and provedthat 'there is an Gal to the once fat nitrite fallacy that food for the mind requires the uninviting flavour of physic.' The book is cosiously and cleverly illustrated by John Leech. Should the eucceeding monthly parts equal the first, the author will have pens:intently fiat 11 his place in the fun rail: of our wittiest writers." — hell's Life in London.

We publish in another column accounts from Lis bon, received by the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steamer, Royal Tar, which arrived at South ampton last evening, with the following passengers : Captain and Mrs. Ilcitland; Messrs. Harding, Margesson, and Frazer, officers of the Roy al Artillery; Capt. Ferguson, 79th Regiment; Messrs. Boschetti, White, Frichard, Drum mond, and Dobson; Captain Richie, of the late barque Robert Burns, abandoned in asinking state, and Master liar well. Her dates of departure are as follows :—Gibraltar, Dec. 16th ; Cadiz, 17th ; Lisbon, 20th ; Oporto, 21st ; Vigo, 23d. The Royal Tar passed a largo ship in the Bay of Biscay, with loss of bowsprit and foretopmast, &c. Also observed much wreck on the water. In addition to the details of Portuguese news, which will be found elsewhere in the communication of our Lisbon correspondent, we may add, that letters from Oporto report that Baron Casa', who com manded the Queen's troops before that city, was in full retreat upon Braga. It was said that the troops by which he expected to be joined had been defeated by a force which Das Antas had detached, with a view of intercepting them on their march rid Coimbra. Papers from Singapore to the 6th of November, received by the Overland Mail, report an improving demand there for cotton goods, without, however, any advance in prices. The Siam and Bugis traders had taken off eon,iderable quantities. Prices, indeed, are quoted from 13 to 20 per cent. lower than by the Sept. steamer. The stocks of iron, Brc-artn9, and woollens, arc reported to be " very heavy," and quite sufficient to meet the demand for many months. Papers from Port Philip to the 12th of August refer to intelligence received from Western. Australia of August Ist. The settlers of that so long depressed colony appear to be recovering from long-continued despondency. Steam communication, both with the mother country and with the colonies, was en grossing attention. Amongst other projects, a branch steam line of packets to Ceylon was proposed as an enterprise likely to be of vast benefit to Australia West. The following news has been received from Con stantinople to the 7th inst. : The most important subject on the topis was the Persian affair, and considerable anxiety was entertained by the Porte on the subject. Repeated conferences had taken place be tween the ministers of the Divan and the Russian and Eng. lish ambassadors; and the urgency of the subject is shown by the fact that they were held during the festival of the Courbao Dairam, the greatest and most ins iolable of the Turkish holidays. The chief Objects of solicitude were the warlike preparations of Persia, and the supposed expedition of Persian troops to the unprotected frontier of Turkey. The Porte had received intelligence of the death of Tayar Pacha, the commander in chief of the Turkish army in Kurdistan. It was given out by the Porte that be died of apoplexy, but there was some rea son to suspect that he had probably fallen while leading an attack in the mountains of the Khabour, against the Yesi dies. The death of the commander led to a complete route of the Turkish troops, and great numbers were said to have been killed. More than 37 vessels arc stated to have perished during the last dreadful storms of November 23, 24, and 25. Tim accounts from the River Plate are to the 11th October. The annexed has been communicated from Monte Video, and is dated the 10th October : The invading army, which, during a period of nearly four years, has in vain exhausted every recognised besieging ele ment against Oda city, except that of exemplary patience,has lately conceived the notable idea of blowing it. defenders up in detail. Oa the Bth inst., about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a mine v.hich they had Liid overnight in a house a little mitaide the Montevideen advanced posts, exploded, while the spot was occupied by a company of the second legion of National Getarda;; and the fruit of the exploit was one man killed and two badly wounded. It wa• artfully ma naged, the communication being by means of a string, which was lying by, apparently loose, and which was pulled by the unconscious bend of the victims themselves. A party of the enemy were lying in ambush a short distance off, armed for the surprise, and immediately rushed in; but the guards behaved so well that, with9ut any further loss to themselves, they drove off their assailants, three of whom were left dead on the field, and their bodies carried in as trophies. In the moment of the confusion seven men and a serjeant, all belonging to the Rineon battalion, passed over to the Monte viderin ranks. They were closely pursued in their flight by the Vesecoi of Artagaveitia, and some of them wounded by the latter's fire. It is worthy of remark that this batallion of ltincon is given out by Oribe to be com posed purely of Orientals, vet not a single man of the many who have passed over from it proves to be one ; the present are all Correntinos, and the one previous was a Brazilian, who had been forcibly detained in Oribe's camp. Humanity shrinks from the repetition, and even from the belief, of naled truths deseriptive of the barbarous treatment and mode of putting to death of those who have had the mis fortune to fall into the hands of the invading army. COMMERCIAL MARKETS. MONEY MARKET ft: CITY INTELLIGENCE. Honmst Mo.—The late rise in the funds, so en expected and oppnrer.tly so unwarranted by any peculiar circumstance which should affect prices, hes oiid the fact of the failure cf a speculator for the fall, is still bringing sellers into the market, eager to turn stock bcoght at lower rates into money,under the impression that prices must recede still more from a pressure which it is generally anticipated must arise from the large payments to be made abroad for bread-stuffs. Consols opened this morning at 04 to A, but on a quantity of money stock being brought to market, with a disposition in various quarters to press sales, they gave way, and were done as low as 931.

MINCING-LANE, Half-past Two.— The public market remains closed, and there is but a thin attendance in the Lane. The amount of business done by private con tract has been small, and not worth reporting, except in the article of Cotton, which continues active, and prices must be considered not only to have recovered from the late de pression, but rather to have further advanced. These con tinued recoveries from temporary depressions caused specu lators to be more sanguine, and to act with increased con ' fideace. The has been firm. Letters from China, to the 30th of October, have been received to-day.
