EASY SHAVING IN COLD WEATHER. — Com fort in Shaving depends on the proper use of a good Razor, an effi cient Strop, and Composition to put on it when it ceases to sharpen.— In addition to these, good Soap, and a Shaving Brush that will not irritate the face, are especially necessary ; but, with all these in perfect condition, still, if net properly used, Shaving will be but a troublesome, and even painful operation.

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1831. LITERATURE. ilistory of France. By E. E. Csowt, vol. ii.—Lowomas and Co. Those who perused the first Volume of Mr. CROWE'S " History of France," and are acquainted with the clear style of narrative which distinguishes the work, and the judicious , manner in which the author has condensed the facts of French History, will be anxious to receive the second vo lume now before us, and which we do not hesitate to say, will not be found unequal to the first. The art of abridg ing, we have frequently had occasion to remark, re quires more judgment than is generally supposed. It re quires great care to omit no facts of importance, and to be equal in the degree of compression applied to the whole. The series of Historical " Resumess" which have been pub lished lately in France, although they are the productions of men of celebrity and talent, are frequently too short and skelotonised to snorer the prrse of aPriltng,satisisotir to the most supsrfeiskUstoAml enquirer. The presor' lame, forms the 15th of Dr. Larther's Cyclopedia, brings down the History of France to the first French R evolution—the death of the Princess-Lamballe, and the Massacre of the Prisoners. Life and Reign of George the Fourth—Low:awe & Co. This work forms the second volume which has been pub lished of Dr. Ls ILDN gas' Cabinet Library—and is the first volume of the Life and Reign of our late Monarch. It ex tends to the period of the First Consulate of Napoleon. We have read the work, and can recommend it to our readers as a very important view of political history since the birth of Ring George the Fourth. The author appears to have sketched the events of the reign with much fairness, and considering their being so recent, writs with great discrimi nation. The author has not displayed any wish to conceal the faults of his hero—and at the same time he is not a traducer. He has sketched the political merits of EDMUND Buns a in a brief but judicious manner, and on the whole the work has considerable merit. Honeossison, Peb. I.—Lowonsw. This number is rich in anecdote, interesting to the musi cal amateur, and replete with many instructive hints, and the musical novelties which it supplied are peculiarly pleas-, ing. Of the contents, we have been most amused by the memoirs of two celebrated French composers—CATEL and, ROLE, and the very judicious " Hints for the Formation of a Musical Library ; "—both the articles are from the French. The " Memoir of the Metropolitan Concerts," and the article on the " Madrigal Society, the " Ancient Concerts, peat and present," and the extracts from the " Journal of a Di lettante," contain details which cannot fail to interest the amateur. The " Review of Music " will be found distin guished by accurate and judicious musical taste and cri tical discrimination. Of the seven pieces of Music, although all'is excellent, we have been most struck with the Alpine, Melody, by one of the Alpine Minstrels who are at present' displaying such mod miracles in the metropolis. The Over ture to Armida, and the Swedish Air, as well as Ballads are all beautiful. On the whole, a etter three shillings worth was never offered to the Public _..... MONUMENT TO JOHN LOCKE. A meeting of the subscribers to the monument of the phi losopher, Locke, was held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern—Lord KING in the chair—to consider the steps to be taken in the present state of the subscription. The SECRETARY (Mr. Friend) read a varies of papers re lative to the former meetings on this subject ; from these it appeared that the amount of stock now in hand was 8461. 6s. in the Three and a Half per Cents. and some uninvested di vidends. The original plan of raising this monument was determined on at a meeting so long ago as April, 1806. A committee of seven was then appointed, of whom not less than three, it was remarked, were present yesterday.—After Mr. Friend had concluded, he said the money now stood in his name, and the subaccibers bad been brought together, to I determine what to do with it. Lord KING said it was originally intended that the monu ment should be erected in St. Paul's, but the plan, as sub mitted to the public, bad the words "or elsewhere." Some such alteration bad taken place with regard to the statue of Mr. Pitt. His Lordship understood from Mr. Westmacott that the price of such a statue as that of Lord Erskine, in Lincoln's Inn-hall, was 1,2001. They had now 8001. in money—to that he (Lord K.) should add for himself 1001. (Hear, ilrem h e e il a id r) e . r, e M ed r. tb W e ecseteimplacoetletehaedf utbndeeretiakeneenmetheet,rieesk be hoped some funds would be raised from those who came to visit his atelier. His Lordship felt convinced they would iobtain a place in the large hall of the London University for i the statue, where it would be seen by a large number of the public. EC • Mr. FRIEND — By far a greater num ber than Mr. a - itt 8 statue at Cambridge. Mr. pRADLEY said when this monument was first pro jected he was a boy; since then he had read the works of LOCKE, and, if he ever had an object of literary idolatry, LOCKE was the man. He paid a deserved compliment to the Noble Chairman for the light he had thrown ; on the author of the " Essay on the Human Understanding," by the publication of his biography. He had long paid a yearly visit to Nosing, where the remains of Locxa lay, and he hoped to be allowed to testify his veneration for him by handing in a subscription to the Monument, (an example which was followed by some other gentlemen who were present.) Air WErruscart said the sum of 1,2001. would meet all the expences of a monument such as that of Lord ;ERSK IN E. A resolution was then adopted that the funds in hand be ;devoted to the erection of altatue to be placed in the Lon don University, with the sanction of the Council—a sanc tion which, it was stated, there was no doubt of being oh= tailed, New true.teee were then nominated, and aims, WM4' O 4 , that the future .meetings of the Committee should take piaci ,at Mr. WESTMACOTT'S residence; and after proposing some votes of that, the nicetiag.kroke op. - There has boons, (riiNtfol loss of life dying' Aholp,te in , olement weather.

ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN FOR PORTSOKEN WARD. Yesterday the contest for the gown closed. While the polling was going forward, Mr. Hill, the Counsel for Mr. Harvey, formally protested against Mr. Scales, as ineligible to the office of Alderman ; the Common Council having already determined that the candidate was ineligible to sit on ' 1 any committee. Soon after three o'clock the Lord Mayor declared the state of the poll at its final close to be as follows: Mr. Scales 155 ; Mr. Harvey 127 ; majority for Mr. Scales 28, (great cheering followed this declaration.) Mr. Harvey then de manded a scrutiny, and Mr. Scales made a similar demand. The meeting then adjourned to the church, and the candi dates addressed a very full and good-humoured meeting. Mr. Sea Lits expressed great surprise at his opponent's demand of a scrutiny, notwishstanding the majority of 28— a dV it .., - which he was himself compelled to make because ill t lifeirim, and he had to contend with a lawyer 1 etli n • that, he (Mr. Stoles) would not have to ad dress the meeting for three minutes; but . the pertinacione conduct of his antagonist had brought him to an opposite de cision, and three hours might be the duration of his ha rangue.—(Laughter.) Mr. Scales then proceeded to repeat the charge made previously by him against Mr. Harvey. It was not, he said, long since the Lord Mayor was under some public displeasure, and upon a most unjust and ridiculous accusation.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Scales) at one saw the absurd notion of the charge which was visited in so marked a manna. Well, his (Mr. Scales's) sins were brought forward to their fullest extent by his honourable opponent, and in what had they all merged ? Why, in the horrible offence of the forged, or the fictitious, or the fabricated tickets. (Loud laughter.) His opponent, to do him justice, had, when he heard that Michael Scales had no other iniquity, said, " Why this is trash, it will never do; " but when the tide turned against the honourable patriot, he began to look with a very serious countenance at the crime, and found that the trash was the awful offence of for gery. (Roars of laughter.) A protest had also been made against his return ; but that, too, had for its foundation the forgery. The mountain in labour brought forth a mouse (laughter). He really believed, if ever his hoe. friend the lawyer bad to contend with a butcher again, he would take to his heels with wonderful celerity. All that future elect tors would have to do to get rid of the worthy Whig was, to set a butcher at him (excessive laughter). It had been ob served that he (Mr. Scales) ought not to act like an as sassin. A guilty conscience needed no offence, and the worthy patriot, when be made that remark was de scribing what was passing in his own breast. Mr. Scales then assured the electors that they should have Do 111,_ing to find fault with in his conduct as their Alderman. He should not hesitate to dive into the depths of prisons, and to comfort the wretch that pined in solitary confinement ,—that prelude to madness and to death. He bad health, strength, and a good conscience, to exercise fot the benefit of his fellow-creatures. (Cheers:) 'ire honourable and unsuccessful candidate bad deceived the good people of Colchester, but he had not deceived the people of Portmoken. In the latter place there was no mistake. (Laughter.) Mr. Scales concluded by thanking his friends for their vigorous and unremitting support. Mr. HARVEY rose, and was very warmly received. Mr. Scales had, he said, gone into a very rigid investigation of ihis (Mr. Harvey's) private, professional, and personal cha I racter ; but be had mistaken him very much in one respect, in supposing that he would run away without thanking those vahiable men who had so strenuously supported him with their free, unbiassed, and unpurchasable exertions. For those exertions he felt deeply grateful. He must also say, that in his canvass he had witnessed the high worth of the electors, who had supported his antagonist. From every one of those whom be solicited, he received an unhesitating answer, that their vote 'was engaged. He had been accused of being unfavourable to the Ballot.— The election that had just terminated confirmed him in the impression he bad formed. Not a man of his opponent's promisers had violated his word (cheers.) He wished be "could say the same thing of those who professed to be his eepporters (cries of " shame I you have been deceived.") — He bad come into the Ward notes an intruder-101 of the re silent inhabitants of the Ward bad sent to him a requisition, assuring him not of the chance but of the certainty of his suc cess (loud cries of shame), and y et six of those requsitionists had voted against him (cries of indignation against the de serters, and applause for Mr. Harvey.) But the Ward should have the opportunity of seeing who had thus abandoned him. .1 The poll should be published, and an R. should be fixed op- —..--......

The following resolutions were then read, and unanimously adopted : That the respect which the free coloured and black popu lation of this island have ever shown to the constituted ao.. thorities —their ready obedience to the laws, and their promptitude in times of public danger and alarm—added to the fact that all they , possess is invested in this their nitiva country—that their hopes and interests are bounded by t h e waves that encircle. its shores -rank them among its most orderly,, loyal, sad zealous defenders ; while their nume:i cal strength, moral character, and general importance as a people, entitle them to claims (sanctioned as that claim is by the spirit of the British constitution) a full and fair par ticipation in the enacting and administering of the laws af fecting their properties, libarties, and lives. That not only are we unj,istly and unconstitutionally de barred from the exercise of civil and political rights by tie, monstrous anomaly of an oligarchy composed chiefly of fo reigners and adventurers, but the hardship of our condition is aggravated by the glaring fact, that such of their enact ments as do not evince a total indifference to WIT interest. and well-being are marked by a direct tendency to encroach vet further on the circumscribed area of our moral and po liticel energies. That while the black and coloured population are, to a man, ready and willing to devote if necesiary, their properties ant lives to the defence of the laws and institutions founded ou, or emanating from, that-eieriests 4sostitutisia, which they and all other Englishmen Intudly boast as Tiling peculiarly their own, bey are so leas datettlitted to oppose any and every attempt to violate its spirit, or to prostrate its principles at the footstool of colonial prejudice and despotism. That a gross and most unwarrantable attempt to violate that spirit, and prostrate those principles to the base views of an illiberal faction, was tualleon the 17th day of this Inv sent month of November, in the introduction, into the House of Assembly of this island, of a bill calculated (or sad*.) to abridge the liberty of the press, and thereby sup press the expression of the public opinion and public feeling 'relative to public measures, and the conduct of public men. That the grand and fundamental principle of British juris ranee, recognises " the people" as " the only true and [ legitimate source of power," and the public functionaries as ohs servants to whom the people delegate the power of con *mew public affairs, and administering public justice • and en dellostas act only by the authority and for the benefit of this. by whom they are delegated, so the Assembly of this bind act only by the authority of the whites, by whom they are elected, and by whom atone their acts are sanctioned. Jut the free black and coloured population, though compo sing a very large majority of the free inhabitants being un repeamsted in that Assembly, do not consider themselves inipliestod in, or identified with its acts ; and therefore feel 'des perfectly at liberty to oppose and protest against such ef those acts as militate against their interests, or are injurious to their feelings. That " there is no law in England defining with precision what is libel;" a fact that proves how inimical to British feeling is every restriction on the freedom of discussion and liberty of the press, which is justly deemed the guardian ge lling of the principle regulating the connexion between the prier of the 'governing and liberty of the governed.

That according to the true spirit of the British constitution, B is undeniable that taxation and representation are insepo ' i fable ; and the exaction of the former, without admissability to the latter, is unconstitutkmal and oppressive. That " it is one of the fundamental maxims of the English constitution that every one has the right of being tried by his equals —a right which we see daily violated in the courts of this island. The claim of the coloured man, to be tried by his peers, being disregarded or denied. That in conse quence of such perversion of British taw, the free coloured clams are frequent sufferers by decisiOns which they con ceive to be influenced by prejudice, or "esprit de corps," rather than the evidence adduced. That the frequent occurrence of such instances calls loudly for the application of a remedy, which remedy can only be famished by the admission of every educated and respectable free subject to the right of sitting as juror. That actuated by the feelings and sentiments conveyed in the foregoiag 'resolutions, this Meeting deem it advisable to appoint a Committee, whom they empower-to use all consti tutional means to prevent, by petition or otherwise, the pass ing of the " bill to remedy the inconvenience which arises 'to the administration of public justice from the difficulty of identifying proprietors and editors of periodical prints," &c. and for the attainment of the civil and political rights con templated in said resolutions, more especially the right of 'urors. • 11 1111 S • _ • + v ivica cb 1788. • •LL.:, _" . • evC- KINGSTON, JA s , • itis and respects.
