The Proprietors are unwilling to speak of the result of their exertions, but may, without indelicacy, refer to the OPINIONS OF THE PUBLIC PRESS. To the Literati, and indeed to the public generally, the appear. ance of a paper devoted to literature, science, and the arts, con ducted on liberal and independent principles, and untrammelled by any direct connexion with the book trade, has long been a most im portant desideratum. Entertaining, as we do, a very high opinion of the talent and judgment by which the periodical publications, here tofore exclusively dedicated to such purposes, have been conducted, it would be absurd to expect that the interests of the avowed pro prietors of such works should not, in a very peculiar degree, affect the tone and spirit of their criticisms ; and it would be as vain in us to expect impartial and unbiassed opinions from them, as it would be hypocritical in them to affect an air of independence and indifference to the fate of works, in which their own properties may be involved. and, at all events, their own credit with the public at stake. We, therefore, hail with pleasure the improved appearance of the Athe notun—a Journal which, whilst it is free from all such objections, brings with it the high and powerful recommendation of genuine ta lent and uncompromising principle. Established solely upon grounds of public utility, this Paper depends for public support upon the in tegrity by which it is characterized-4N perfect independence of all • professional patronage," and the conscientious discharge of its cen sorial functions. As far as the labours of its present Conductors have gone, we are bound to say that they have meat faithfully fulfilled every pledge by which they claimed the patronage of the literary world. Their critical opinions are pronounced with firmness and with fairness; boldly, impartially, but not arrogantly, or with any haughty assumptions of superior endowment. Their original articles are in variably of the most interesting nature, and their miscellaneous infor mation varied, instructive, and amusing."—Cheltenham Journal, September 6. " The Atheneum is a weekly periodical of decided merit, and dis tinguished for the vigour and impartiality of its tone and criticism ; its intrinsic merits, added to the independent stand it has taken amonpt the periodicals of the day, entitle it to extensive patronage. — It is conducted with much ability, both as to matter and arrangement. The republication in Monthly Parts, for the more studious reader, Is extremely well judged."—.Globe, Oct. 1. II The Athens= (a Journal to whose increasing utility and high talent we are glad to have this opportunity of bearing testimony.")— The Atlas. Sept. 19.

Its reviews are written with impartiality—Ate original articles are the productions of men of genius."—l)evenport Telegraph, Sept is.

S. We copy the following (rum that very able, industrious, and ho nest paper, the London Athenmam, which, as yet. is too little known in Scotland, but abounds is information nowhere else to be had."— Glasgow Chronicle, Aug. 20. That honest and spirited publication, the Atheneum."—Sheffield Courant, Oct. 13. •• We have noticed with a feeling of great satisfaction the independ ence by which the Atheneum is marked, and the efforts which are made by its spirited conductors to render literary criticism something approaching what it ought to be. It Is well known that must of the critical journals are in the bands of the principal publishers, who are thus enabled to put forth as independent criticism exactly what may suit their purposes, and promote the sale of their works. It is with reference to this fact that we regard with pleasure the publication of a journal which is in reality what others profess to he. The Athe neum is undeniably independent, and unconnected with any parties which might improperly influence its critiques en new works. Its cri. ticism is in a liberal but truly impartial spirit, without any tenderness towards the author, and certainly Mine towards the publisher, of any work whatever. The review of Galt's Life of Lord Byron,' in the last and previous number, will fully prove the justice of our praise. We have seen as yet no review of that work informing the public, as in reality is theme, that the work is but a poor one, malgre the puff ing it has had—contains false views of Lord Byron's moral and poetical aisaracter, and is besides written in a style oftentimes exceedingly faulty and absurd. The critique of the Atheneum mi the work is aims and just to the public. In tile department of original and amusing articles it will be found at least equal to any of its rivals, and we have great pleasure in recommending i t to t h e p a t ronage o f the literary pub lic."—Bury and Suffolk Herald, Sept. 22. " It is but justice to an independent and talented Journal to say, that we have seen, since writing the above (notice to Gales Byron) a wanly and sensible review of Gait's work, and sonic important contri butions to the history of its publication, in the Athcnreuni."—Edin. burgh Literary Journal, Sept. 11. " A series of interesting and curious letters on Demonology and NVitcheraft,' by Sir W. Scott, has been announced for publication. An anticipatory review of this work appears in the last number of the Atheneum, an ably conducted weekly journal of literature, published ,a London. From this review we select," lie. &c.--Belfast News- Letter, Sept. 24. " The Athenaeum, whose ability and independence have more than pace called forth our praise."—Scuts Times, Oct. 12. ‘‘• The Athenreunt.—lt is perhaps too much to expect that Reviews, which are tie property of booksellers who publish to a large extent, will be unnecessarily severe on those works which their own proprie turd bring forward ; but It is nut too much to expect that the bonds of decency, at least, will not be broken through, and that periodicals, professing to act as guides to the public in their choice of books, will at least have sufficient honesty not to give immoderate praise to that which is, in truth, beneath all criticism. Such expectations, however just, are far from being realized ; the system of puffing has grown to an alarming extent, and there is scarcely a periodical extant that is not notoriously swayed from its duty. In such a state of thing-, so inju rious to the cause of literature, an exception to the ride is worthy of praise and support. We are pleased to find ail exception—we have found it in the Athenaeum. The reviews in this work are talented, and, as far as we have seen, unbiassed by fear or favour. The pe riodical itself is not the property of any great publisher, and this is the best surety the Editor can bring forward in support of his good faith with the reader. Prom the miscellaneous articles we select the fol lowing," &c.-13riAol Nlercury, Oct. lg. " The Atheneum —This talented periodical,which is justly entitled a • Joined of English and Foreign Literature, Science, and the Fine Arts,' has, for some weeks past, inspired an interest amongst literary men that reminds us of the days of Johnson, Addison, and Steele. It irontains an ample and impartial review of the most important new works with wb.ch the press is daily teeming, written with sound criti cism and correct taste, while the remarks of the reviewer are Wm :rated and justified by copious and well.selected extracts. The ,oetleal effusions which have lately benn introduced in its columns 4C Of the highest order ; and the diisertations on tie Mae Arts, Ori. - mat Essays, and general information, combine to ren4et the Mae r rem a' complete compendium of Modern literature.

TRANSPARENT PAINTINGS, and IMITATIONS of STAINED GLASS, by %Luau Bever, No. 40, Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, who begs leave most respectfully to ac quaint the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, that he has prepared, and is now ready to submit to their inspection, a New and Elegant Assortment of transparent Paintings, consisting of Arehltectural Subjects, and Italian and Swiss Scenery; the correctness of which, as regards Thawing, Colouring, and general Effect, renders them particu larly Elegant, Ornamental, and Useful Appendages to Drawing-Room Windows. He has also many others, from Grecian end Gothic De signs, in Imitation of Stained Glass, admirably adapted to Church, Chapel, Library, or Staircase Windows. Gentlemen residing in the Country may be supplied with Blinds painted to any design, mounted and complete for fixing, by sending the Dimensions of their Windows to No. 40, Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, near the British Museum. N. B.— Heraldry, elegantly emblazoned on Vellum, Silk, he. JOHN BARR, LADIES' and GENTLEMEN'S IM PROVED PERRUQUIER, ROMAN TOUPEE-MAKER, and HAIR-CUTTER, 154, Cheapslde, six doors from the New Post Office, opposite St. Paul's. In calling public attention to his Improved Peruke, J. Baaa begs leave to state the superiority of his system to that of his contemporaries. The great dislike to Perukes in general, arises from the ' altered air' they give to the countenance, occasioned by makers paying no regard to the manner of the na t ur a l hair growing on the forehead, which being different in every individual, requires a corresponding difference in the Peruke. By Bata's ayitem, the Pe ruke is made to describe exactly the same angle on the forehead as the natural hair ; and being completely carried off from the temples, defies the closest scrutiny of the most proficient connoisseur, to distinguish it from a perfect natural head of hair. _ _ J. B.;a■ begs leave to inform the Ladies, that he has discovered a process by which the usual unseemly appearance of the parting of the hair Is obviated. In his improved head-dress, the hair being drawn singly through silk, the parting is accomplished with an accuracy and precision hitherto unexampled ; exhibiting, in the interval between, the most perfect imitation of the skin ever yet discovered. THE GENUINE SYRUP or DE VELNOS.— The Dep6t for this useful Spring and Autumnal Alterative is No. 52, Berners-street, Oxford -street, where It is prepared according to the genuine recipe of the late Mr. Isaac Swainson, by his niece. Mrs. Nlargaret Canhant, alone, to whom be bequeathed it. Above all the medicines of this denomination, tke VEGETABLE SYRUP of DI VELNOS has obtained a distinetim which its efficacy alone can support. It corrects and purifies the blood; and, to penal' who are afflicted with scrofula, leprosy, scurvy, and many of those melancholy diseases, arising from impurity of the blood and juices; to those also who suffer from diseased liver, or from the indistretions of their youth, or whose constitutions are broken down by mercurial, antimonial, or arsenic medicines, a Count of the Vegetable Syrup is particularly recommended. It not only dissipates glandular tumors, eruptions, and ulcers, whatever be their nature, but these debilities, consumptions, and feminine obstructions, whirls are too often attended with fatal consequences. The effect of this .medicine is such, as not to interrupt either business or pleasure, and requires only common moderation In diet. ie Genuine Syrup of De Velnos is prepared and sold by Mrs. Canhant, late Miss Swainsun, at 52, Berners-street, at 13s. a bottle.

The Parliament will formally assim•bie tminorrow, het th • more Important business will not continence till tike Titesti..iy following (the 2tl of November), when his Majiiity will it: State to the House of Lords, and open the Sessioa with t Speech from the Throne. As usual, all sorts of reports are abroad as to the subjects to which he will apply himself. it is expected by mate that he will strongly recommend Retrenchment and Lemomy ; and aka some Reforms in the state of the Representation. We shall itriifly re% iew some of the points connected with the meeting of the Mo i ses, which ate at this moment of great interest. Of these, the first stoic!) claims attention, is the elate of PARTIEs Ilf PAILLIANENT—Ther; never was a period in Pat-lia mentary history wherein it was so difficult to mark out the distinctions of party or partizans as the present. The ca:l-boy has gone his weary round, but, it is said, not with his wonted success. The Treasury Benches will present a far less formidable array than thee have done heretofore—the vets:atm will, probably, return to their quarters once more, and, perhaps, some score of raw recruits, not yet halt drilled, will be • thinly scattered to make up a show."' The Opposition, oe the party to whom that epithet was formerly assigned, is it. little better con dition—it has been divided and subdivided into so many fractional parts that it presents but the shadow of its former substance. The antici. pawl disposition of the House of Commons has been quaintly de scribed by one of its most intelligent members, in these terms —" You will have," said he, " a Minister fearful of the sue eess of his measures, because he can repose but little confi dence in his men, from whose injudicious advocacy more is to be dreaded than the direct hostility of his opponents. You have tot one but several opposition parties, each striving to erect some favourite poll. Beal structure, so that I fear, amidst such a Babel of sounds, th e great fundamental principles of legislation will be forgotten, if not wholly lost. The Ministerial leader is aware of this division in the enemy's camp, and will seek to ferment rather than allay it. Divide impera is an establised maxim in State politics, and in the present case there is no doubt that it will be strictly adhered to. The !neutral Benches, if from no other cause than thetpositive indecision of some, and the cautious tardiness of other members, will be thickly filled, though it is probable that after their respective parties shall have ac quired something of a definitive tone, many of the neutrals will rally under particular standards, but enough will remain to keep up a gall ing cross-fire against the two great rival factions. For my own part all places are alike, in the present state of affairs." This is the description' given by one conversant in the secrets of the " prison -house," and we believe it will be found tolerably correct. The melancholy event which has withdrawn Mr. Huskiseon from his labours, leaves his party with out a head ; but it is nAt improbable that Mr. Charles Grant may as sume that station, although his views in regard to the reciprocity sys tem do not go to the same extent as did those of the late member for Liverpool. It was supposed some time back that the present Speaker would have been called to the House of Peers, and a contest for the chair was anticipated ; but all such idea has been abandoned, Mr. Manners Sutton having expressed his willingness to retain his high station, at least for another session. PUBLIC BusixEss —The NEW Parliament will sit, it is presumed, till about the 14th of December, when an adjournment will take place until the customary period of meeting, the 4th or sth of February. The swearing of the members, and the qualification of of. fic.ens, together with various other matters consequent on the assembling of a new Parliament, will occupy the whole of the first week. The re. minder of the time before the Christmas holidays will be devoted to the consideration of that pint of the public business standing over from last session, namely, the Civil List, and the unvotcd Miscellaneous Es. timates. These, of course, will be confined to the House of Commons but in the House of Peers their Lordships will have an ample field for debate on the Regency Question, which is expected to excite the most powerful interest, as it has become the rallying point with the Opposi. Lion party, who are said to be in considerable strength. STATI or THE Narrox.--The first subject which will be pressed on the attention of the legislature, after the recess, will be the Internal State of the Country, and it is generally supposed that it will be brought forward by a distinct proposition for the appointment of a select com mittee. PARLIADENTADY Rzrome.--There are not leas than that or fite schemes for Reform of Parliament in embryo, not one of which are likely to be adopted; however, it is generally believed that the elective franchise will be extended to some of the most important and populous towns, and we know that some attempt will be made to bring about an alteration in the laws relating to elections, so as to diminish the ruinous expenses attendant thereon, and to ensure a more perfect system of po puha. representation. Coax Laws AND CIIRDENCY,—That both these subjects will be mooted is quite certain; but whatever may be attempted by the advo cates of free trade in corn, will be warmly opposed by the stickler► for high rents, who consider a return to the exploded monetory system a panacea for every evil under which the country is smarting. Few that recollect the misery produced by that system in the memorable panic of 182.5.6, will consent to its adoption in the present instance. - EAST INDIA COMPANY'S CDANTER.—This subject, so important in all its relations, must occupy a large share of attention in both houses of parliament. The feeling of many parts of the country against the monopoly is now too distinct to admit of any miscoostruetion, and Ministers, having at the close of last session, merely required time to procure the necessary information to enable the committee on India affairs to arrive at a just conclusion, stand pledged to go into the whole question. MALT DIITIES.—A strong effort will be made to get rid of the du ties nu malt, but the Minister will be slow to consent to a measure which would so greatly depreciate the revenue. Assisszu Teais.—The outcry mind against these vexatious im. posts, particularly in the provinces, has been so loud, that it is believed something must be done in order to mitigate the severity of the exec. tiona. The cost of collection often exceeds the revenue. CHUICII PLUZALITIES AND COMMUTATION Or TITHES. Although the Earl of blounteashers roodon for an inquiry into the abuses of the Established Church, had but one hand held up when put to the vote in the House of Peers ; it is well known that many of their Lordships admitted that a ease had been made out, which demanded investigation, and that abuses were proved which called tor correction. Indeed, one of the Dignitaries of that Church (the Bishop of London,) in his lut visitation to the Clergy of hie diocese, expressly alluded to that system of pluralism in church livings, which formed the very gist of the Noble Earl's motion. When the existence of the evil is thus tacitly admitted by a Spiritual Peer of Parliament, can the Lay Lords consistently withhold their co-operation from an measure brought for. I ward to redress it ? It is understood that the Noble Dyke, at the head of his Majesty's Government, has signified his determination to sup port any well-organized plan that may be brought forward for a com mutation of tithes ; but his Grace is opposed to the proposition for pay. ing the clergy from the coffers of the state, on reducing their emolu ments to stated salaries. It may be added, that the inferior clergy have no objection to take a reasonable commutation in lieu of tithes, which, under the present circumstances of the agricultural classes, are cols lected with much di ffi c u lty i n t hi s country , an d i n t h e sister kingdom not without great danger to person and property. An amicable adjust ment is, theretore, moat desirable on all sides. THE SLAVE TaADE.—The philanthropic efforts that have been made for the abolition of the Slave Trade are on the ere of consomme. don. What compensation may be awarded to those who have vested capital, under the idea that the old system would be adhered to, is still a question of grave consideration ; but however that may be decided, it is expected the commencement of the new era will be by declaring free the children of slaves, burn after a day to be named, so that with respect to the future generation the name of slaves will Le extinct. Usiox WITH lers.awn.—Public and private accounts from Ire land speak of a *mug disposition in that quarter of the Empire to bring about a repeal of the Union between (heat Britain and Ireland. The proposition. whatever it be, will be advocated by Mr. O'Connell. who is k the prime author of this fresh Chapter of Agitation. Without arguing I the great principle which it involves', it may be enough to say that the best and tritest friends of frelatid arc opposed to it. We hive thtfs beatify touCheti on the principal topics which are ex pected to come under discuulOn, boi there are various other matter:. of vast importance that most inevitably engage attention, so that the en. soingetweien will be one of much interest. Among these we may ice the following as the most prominent--Proposition for a Property. Tax..... Repeal of the Coal Duties—Alteration of the Law relating to ebbed—/teconsiderationof the Bill for Regulailng the Study of Ans . timy—Abolltion of the Truck System--Repeal of the Metropolitan PoSee Act—Proponed Alteration in the Laws respecting Diveress—la. • in tp the State of (;olonia) Lsegislation.—lntrudnetion of a System ▪ Poor Laws . fnlo Irelahrl—Einancipation of the Jewk—lnquiry into the State of the Crown Leads, and perhaps an elabseai Investigation of the plan long since submitted by Mr. Wilmot Horton, for the en couragement of Emigration, as a means of extensive relief to this country. viii TURF.
