The Subjects comprised in the Work, which is exquisitely printed, and contains upwards of 500 pages, have been confided to proficients in their several departments, and include MORAL DEPORTMENT.

An ornamental Title-page, emble matical of the Contents of the Volume, beautifully exe cuted in burnished Gold, is also among its decorative novelties. Few works have been received with such unanimous and unqualified approbation by the Public Press. The following is an abridged selection from a few of the many favourable notices with which it l a been honoured :—. " We shall find it difficult to Bp4k of this Volume in terms sufficiently expressive of the admiration, and, indeed, wonder, with which an examination of it has filled us, It is not only a curiosity, but a beautiful curiosity, and no less excellent in its useful qualities, than it is eh-gmt in its decorative parts. A few years ago, all the talents in Eng land could not have produced such a work."—Literary Gazette, Oct. 31, 1829. " 6 The Young Lady's Book,' from the Pple nil u r of its appearance, the excellent style and execution of its embel lishments, its intrinsic value, and its peculiar suitableness, is the must acceptable offering that can be made at the shrine of youth and beauty ; and, altogether, is one of the most elegant volumes of its kind."—la Belle Assemblve for Dec. 1829. " The Young Lady's Book' surpasses all the Annuals in its external splendour, and is far superior to them in the character of its object. At the same time that it is itself a medium of general instruction in Science, it is an actual wonder of art."—Spectator, Nov. 8, 1829. " This is not an Annual, but an evergreen; a gem in its way; containing a clear and neatly written epitome of all those amusements which are appropriate to Young Ladies, and mixing its instructions with such a pleasant versatility of attractive matter, that we have no hesitation in recommending it to the boudoir and the drawing•room." —Atlas, Nov. 8, 1829. " In a word, whether we look on the Young Lady's Book as it resp,cts Art, Science, or Recreation, it stands unique from every other Publication, and, aR such, must be received throughout the Literary world."—News, Nov. 8, 1829. " The Young Lady's Book will enjoy a more perma nent popularity than any of its competitors during the present Gift-giving season."—Court Jonc., Nov. 21. 18t9. " The Young Lady's Book is a present far more useful and instructive than any thing we have seen since the new fashion of yearly publications has obtained. This Book contains a sm t of Encyclopedia of Female Arts and Accomplishments ; indeed, a collection of every thing with n hich the most delicate and refined of our Young Ladies should be acquainted."—John Bull, Nov. 29, 1829. " Whether we view it in the light of a moralist, an in structor, or as a gay and smiling companion, entering into all the elegant accomplishments which add a grace to virtue, we still find it unexceptionable, both in matter and manner, altogether one of the most acceptable presents that could be offered to a young Lady."--Morning Post, Nov. 17, 1829.

P. :MILNER, Accountant. (From the Courrier Francais.) Pam, DEc. 27.—The Ministry is so alive to the representative system, that the most extraordinary reports are in circulation. We have already men tioned that the French Cabinet had submitted to Foreign Cabinets some questions relative to the in ternal situation of France. These communication•, so contrary to the national dignity, have of late been more frequent, and it is said that the following ques tion has been asked :—ln case the French Govern ment should find it necessary to make an alteration in the fundamental laws, could it rely on support from Foreign Powers ? To this note no answer has yet been received. The French Ministry relies probably on the peace in the East to allow the co operation of the Powers in the affairs of France ; and it thinks that at present a new Holy Alliance may be formed. It is painful to us to mention such rumours. After so many proofs of humiliation, it is time France was restored to her place and her power, and that the counter-revolutionists should cease to invoke foreign aid, when at home they meet only with neglect and contempt. (Frum the ConstitutionneL) PARIS, DEC. 27.—The acquittal of the Journal des Debats has made the Ministry furious, and its Evening Paper published yesterday the two follow ing articles:— " The infallibility of the inferior tribunals is a respectable fiction. The arret of the Court the day before yesterday is beyond our competency; but we can assert, as within our competency, that the licentiousness of the Press has now no bounds, and that legislation has left the Government disarmed, exposed to the attacks of faction. It is wisdom not to be vexed at what is past, but to make it u guide to improvement in our institutions. Thus the check■ which the cause of order may receive are useful; for this is for the general interest, which must prevail." " No, the penal laws against the Press are not sufficient. This is proved by the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police having sentenced the Editor of the Journal des Debats to six months' imprisonment, and to pay a tine of 500 francs, and that the Pro cureur de Roi had appealed against the minimum. The article of the law invoked against the Editor increases the fine to 10,000 francs, and imprison ment to five years, with an interdict on all civil rights. iWe must seek, therefore, for another source of the licentiousness of the Press, and we believe that our legislative education is every day making flesh progress." It ImeT)mes the anarchical apologists of right di vine, the fire-brands of state tricks, to complain of the licentiousness of the Press, when they have pushed it to the greatest extreme. It was not enough to maintain that the Elective Chamber could not refuse its consent to the Budget—now the tribunals must submit their consciences to the passions of the Ministry; and, for the satisfaction of M. de Polignac, declare an author guilty when they thought him innocent. The Magistrates, therefore, are in the same disgrace as the Deputies. It is not the Legislation that must be reformed, but the Niagistrates who must be changed. What is intended by these threats of the Ministerial Journal ? Are we to have Polignac Commissions, as we had formerly Maupeou Parliament.? Or will the Chief Minister, condemning himself to be popular, give the Press the Trial by Jury ? (From the Journal des Debate.) _ The General Council of the Bank of France has fixed at 34 francs per share the dividend of the second half rear of 1829. The Reserve is of two francs per share. The dividend is to be paid with open doors at the Palace of the Bank, beginning the 2d of January next. The Shareholders may transmit powers of attorney to receive and sign their quota. It will be indispensably necessary to exhibit the titles. The documents respecting the Association Brc tonne, and the suit commenced by M. Aguado, against the Quotidienne, the Constitutionnel, and the Journal du Commerce, have reached the clerks% office of La Cour Royale. The Court will pro nounce judgment in these causes during the course of January. The Court of Assize terminated the cause res pecting the theft of 12,000 francs, committed in the church of St. Roche, upon Madame de La Fare, on Thursday evening. The aggravation of the penalty —that is to say, the condemnation to seclusion— could not be applied to the accused from the verdict of the Jury, but in as far as complicity had been proved. The circumstance being set aside, the rabbery committed in a church belonged to the class of simple thefts, with the only difference—that the 463 d Article, which admitted of the penalty being lessened, is no longer applicable. The youth La Fontaine, called LI Grandeur, has alone been found guilty of the theft of a bag containing six large sol pieces, belonging to Made moiselle Victoire Carori, and of the theft of a bag containing 12,000 francs in burl:-notes belonging to the Countess de La Fare. Antoine Sauvagnac, aged 17, the little Melihi r, aged 14, and Madame la Fontaine, the mother of the principal culprit, hive been declared accomplices only account of the share they had in the concealment. Consequently La Fontaine and Antoine Sauvagnac have been con demned only to five years' imprisonment each, and Madame La Fontaine and the little Melihior to only two years' imprisonment. (From the Journal du Commerce.) The report gains confirmation that M. Ouvrard has reecived the promise from the Minister of Var that the liquidation of the supplies to the army of Spain shall be revised. What interest can his Ex cellency have to attack an affair already adjudged ? The wife of a posthoy at the Haycock inn st Wsnsford, near Stamford, named RUSSELL, was on Tuesday last delivered of three ch.ldren, all girls. One of them is since dead.—Boston Gazett,. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE : TIIE CLERK IN ♦ DILEMMA.—On Christmas-day, at die Chapel of the most Illessmi Virgin Mary, on the clerk giving out " Lei us sing to the praise and glory of Got), art anthem," a psu►e ensued : after which he exclaimed aloud, with ali " I bare neither number or book !" The con fusion of the clerk, the kelter skelter of the vergers to the organ loft, and the risibility of the congregation mar easily be imagined, until the respected chaplain gave out from the communion table " No. 112, page 53," thus having been obliged to officiate both as parson and clerk The organ then commenced, and the congregation en joyed a rich treat of sacred _ . It will be remarked that this letter was written before the date of the late invasion. The oliset - - vations, therefore, about the conduct of the Spaniards who were expelled from the country, and who mainly contributed to prepare the ex . • pedition, have been justified by the eveut in a way to show the sagacity of the writer. They likewise afford us an assurance that no tie:U:lr act of folly or madness can be perpetrated. " You remind me of my premise to give you a sketch of the state of this country, and I :direst IT pent having been so rash. It is a tubjeet diftHilt to be explained, and difficult to be understood, by a person who has passed his life in Europe, in the midst of the civilization of the nineteenth century, and under long established Governments. The error wlich has been committed by all p its ho have examined this country, is the comparison they draw between the new Spanish states of Arre: ice and the free and civilized nations of Europe, Ls they present themselves in this age; wherea , i< insy ins fairly doubted whether this nation had adv:lneed orie step in knowledge, or civilization, front the time ef the conquest to the moment of declaring themselece independent of the mother country. Freese._ it, ex tensive and fez-tile territory, its rich and var ad 1 -o ductions, and especially its great mitten:tem:Az, Mexico was watched over with greater and mole jealous care than any other portion of the Spani,it possessions in America. livery precaution that human prudence could suggest was taken, and Cie'. Ce'Shiny taken, to prevent the access of straireers or the introduction of books, that might tend to en lighten the people. Not only were the Mexicans deprived of the means of keeping pace with the rapid progress of knowledge in other count ries during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but the peculiar circumstances in which they were placed scarcely allowed them to retain the eta, ion they occupied in the scale of civilization immrtlia - cly after the conquest. The emigrants front Spein, who alone were permitted to enter the ciiteit!y, were, for the most part, the most ignorant and viieous por tion of the people well known to b? nearly a eon u y behind the rest of Europe. They came to ore, pr all the places of profit or trust, and to keep in tubjection the children of the soil. The exiseeni-e of art agri cultural population, descendants of the aeeient In dians, had a singular effect upon the cleiracter of the Spanish settlers. The poorest man scorned to be placed on a level wiih the bi.lien; his colour ennobled hint, and Spaniards, or their de scendants, would have perished rather thee degrade their caste by working in the field, or by following. any other laborious occupation in which the Indians are habitually employed. Here, then, is waz:ting• that portion of a community which forme the Join cipal strength of every nation,—a free end rheum's peasantry. 'lhe Indian population cement yet be regarded in that light. They are slow!) emerging. from the wretched state of vassalage to v. hick they have been reduced; but they must be educated and relieved from the tyranny of the groseee,t supersti tion before they Coin become useful citizens. At present at least seven-eighths of the population of Mexico live in wretched hovels, deiritute of the most ordinary conveniences, their furniture con sisting of a few coarse mats to sit and sleep on ; their clothing miserably coarse and scanty, and their food fraits and vegetables. It is not that the pike of labour is so low as to deprive them of the means of earning a more comfortable subsistence, nor are they by any means an idle race, but they ere encou raged and frightened into the habit of employing all their money in pageants of the church, in which Heathen and Christian rites are strangely mingled. The white population, in whose hands the whole property of the country is concentred, were but little more advanced. The colleges and other institutions of education were liberally endowed, but served only to enrich the curators and profseeors. The youth were taught nothing useful, as you may suppose, when I tell you, that it is not ten days since I re ceived an invitation to attend a Func.ion of the University of Mexico, when the Degree of Doctor of Civil Law, was to be conferred upon an eminent student, and the theme wes, The immaculat e con ception,' and yet the means of acquiring knowledge now are greater than they were before the revolu tion. Their lamentable ignorance, the absence of all excitement to exertion, a mild and enervating climate, which affords the means of suhsiseence most without labour, and their coestant intercom-se with the Aborigenes, debased as they w ere to the very lowest class of human beings, not only pre vented these people from making any advancement in civilization, but when to these causes are added the degraded state of the church, and tie excessive ignorance and shocking profligacy of the clergy, who exercised a fetal influence over the people, it is not surprising that the Mexicans of the nineteenth cen tury should be interim in knowledge and in moral character to their ancestors of the sixteenth. In examining, therefore, the actual condition of these countries, we must keep is view the point from which they set out, after shaking off the ycke of Spain. " A people in the condition I have described, suddenly called upon to govern themselves, must ne cessarily fall into innumerable errors under any form of government they had chosen to adopt. That of a Federal Republic, as it requires and cabs into action a greater number of public men than any other, makes them feel more acutely their inability at present, although it is the best calculated, in the end, to instruct their youth in the science of govern ment, and to cause them" to appreciate and cherish free institutions. 6 ' At the adoption of the present constitution, and the election of ' President 'Vittoria,' the aff,tirs of Mexico wore the most favourabla appeanince. The large sums of money introduced into the coun try by the several mining companies produced the most benefical effects upon the agriculture of the districts in Which the mines are situated, and con tributed very essentially towards the osperity of the states. Whatever may he the result of these speculations to the indi►iduals engaged in them, they have produced lasting benefits to Mexico, and to the nations engaged in commerce with this country. " From the nature and physical construction of these regions, the chief t xchangeable product is the precious metals; and by these operations the mines have been made to produce annually nearly fifteen millions of dollars—an amount more likely to in crease than diminish. The loans which the Govern ment made in London had a more doubtful effrct upon the prosperity:of this country ; the Corninand of money I eniered the Goveduzent improvideur. They acted as if the millions they had borrowed formed a part of their annual income—they aug mented the number of troops, purchased rotten and worthless ships of war, and continued the la vish expenses and scandalous abuses of the siceregul Government. The higher cr d ers o f the ekrgy, the aristocracy, and the European .Spaniards, were al most rem:died to a republican government by this state of thin g s.
