Those who intend to take the SPECTATOR, from the com mencement of the Third Volume, should give their orders to the Newsmen before Saturday the 2d January. THE SPECTATOR avows the ambitious aim of being at once the most informing, the most amusing, and the fairest of all Newspapers. Its large, though not unwieldy size, enables the Editor, by careful selection and laborious compression, to record every useful Fact and interesting Occurrence, whether at home or in foreign countries ; and at the same time to give an uncommonly large space to Original Compositions by some of the ablest Pens. Politics are treated chiefly as matter of history, and with an impartial exhibition of all the leading facts and arguments on every side, from every source. THE SPEC TATOR is not a sectarian or a i)artistn, in .any sense, but a citizen of the world. Fair Criticisms on all the New Books of note are given ; and the best Passages are selected, for the entertainment of those whose time may be too much occupied to read the original works. The Drama is reviewed in a spirit of benevolent, though free criticism ; and Music is treated at once scientifically and popularly as an elegant art. Being a Newspaper, and not a mere Literary Periodical, THE SPECTATOR exhibits Life and Society as they exist ; but being also a Journal for Families, it systemati cally excludes from its pages every paragraph, sentiment, and expression, unfit for universal perusal in respectable circles. There are two Editions,—one for the Country, published on Saturday, in time to be sent by the post of that even ing; another for Town, published very early on Sunday morning, and bringing down all public news to the latest hour. Those who prefer the latter Edition (which iseasily distinguished) should give particular orders to that effect to their Newsmen. - CONTEMPORARY TESTIMONIES IN FAVOUR OF THE SPECTATOR. From " Blackwood's Magazine " for April, 1829. " North—There, James, lies the Spectator, a new weekly Paper of some half-year's standing, or so, of the highest merit, and I wish I had some way of strenu ously recommending it to the reading public. The Editor, indeed, is Whiggish and a Pro-Catholic—but moderate, steady, and consistent in his politics. Let us have no turn-coats. His precis of passing Politics is always ad mirable ; his Mercantile Information—that I know on the authority of as good a judge as lives—is correct and com prehensive; Miscellaneous News are collected judiciously and amusingly from all quarters ; the Literary department is equal, on the whole, to that of any other weekly periodical. I nowhere see better criticism on Poetry—and nowhere nearly so good criticiser on Theatricals. Some critiques there have been, in that department, superior in exquisite truth of tact to any thing I remember—worthy of Elia himself, though not apparently from Elia ; and in accounts of Foreign Literature, especially French, and above all, of French Politics, a subject on which I need to be enlightened, have seen no periodical at all equal to the Spectator. " Shepherd—The numbers you sent out by deserved a' that you said o' them. It's a midst enterteenin' and in structive—a moist miscellawneous miscellany: " North—And without being wishy-washy— " Shepherd—Or wersh— " North—The Spectator is impartial. It is a fair, open, honest, and manly periodical." From Mr. Buckingham's Address to the Readers of the " Sphynx," May 2. _ _ " It will be remembered, that on the first establishment of the Sphynx; its professed object was so to unite po litics and literature as to embrace almost all that was new or interesting in either, on a plan somewhat betwee❑ that of the Atlas' and the Examiner,' but more nearly resembling the former of these journal!. This plan is exactly accordant with that on which the Specta tor is conducted ; it being, indeed, the production of the original Editor and writers of the `Atlas,' under whom that journal enjoyed celebrity at the very time Mr. Buck ingham assumed it in so far as a model. The Spec tator presents, perhaps, the most perfect analysis and epitome of News that have ever been attempted in a weekly paper. Of its Political character, it may safely be said, that while it is always favourable to the support of liberal institutions and the happiness of the people, its advocacy of those great principles has been marked by a degree of prudence, judgment, and good temper, which has obtained for it the praise of those who hold adverse opinions. And of its Literary talent, it may as truly be asserted, that no periodical of the present day surpasses it—in the acuteness, Roundness, and fairness of its criticisms; or in the infinite variety with which its pages constrntly abound." From the " Globe," May 2S. " A Paper distinguished among its weekly contem poraries for its perception of the ludicrous in manners, and its piquant, yet not malignant satire upon the foibles of society." From the " Harmonicon " for June. " A Paper supported by first-rate talent." Again, (in quoting a critique on the Italian Opera)—" The wit, truth, and spirit, of the annexed observations, which appear in the Spectator of this date, entitle them to a place in toy Diary. They ought, and probably will, find a corner in every scrap-book in the dominions of our Sovereign Lord the King."—Diary of a Dilettante. From the Westminster Review," No. XXIII.

LowE, Esq., of having bitten off the nose of one of his neighbours, named PATRICK DO VOIIUE. Wednesday last being appointed for the exe cution of HENRY DODMAN WOOOO, who was convicted at our late winter gaol delivery of robbing the dwelling honse of his toaster, GEORGE ROUGEMONT, Esq., of Cheshunt, as early as seven o'clock in the morning a great concourse of people had assembled in front of the county gaol to witness the melancholy spectacle. The scaffold was erected immediately over the door at the entrance to the House of Correction, exactly where the notorious THURTELL met his fate in 1824. lie ascended the scaf fold with a firm and steady step, without showing any symptoms of despondency or alarm, The fatal signal was directly given, and the scene of this world closed on hint for ever. He died after some seconds of severe suffering, and the body was cot down after hanging the nsud period, and the following morning interred in All Saints' church , yard.—llert .31-ercury,. MALT AND BEER DUTIES. (From the Stamford Noes of Dec. 19 ) After Yie have refuted all the other arguments in favour of the Malt 'tart adduced by the advo cates of that odious and inhuman irripost ; after having demonstrated beyond a question its wickedness and its impolicy ; our antagonist, are driven to their last resource, and soberly in quire of us, what tax we would propose to sub stitute in lieu of this most productive article of revenue, which, exclusive of the beer duty, yields at least four millions a year ; that it is not to be expected nor imagined that any set of Minister: could consent to give up, without the strongest reasons, and those little short of absolute neces •sity, so very large a portion of the national in come ; that it is very easy to talk of removing a tax or taxes, but not so easy to accomplish the removal ; that people before they propose the re moval of any tax whatsoever, more especially of so beneficial a one as that in question, should gravely consider whether it was in their power to recommend any other that might in some degree be adequate to it ; and, in short, that it was incumbent on those who so strenuously argued for so material a defalcation from their sources of the national revenue, to come prepared with such a substitute ; for that these were times in which taxes were not to be parted with on specu lation, and that the efforts of good citizens ought rather to be applied to the discovery of new sub jects of taxation, than to the reduction and an nihilation of the old ones, &c. &c. These and many similar objections, which wo have hereto fore heard amongst the ingenious Collective, on the proposal of diminishing or abolishing some obnoxious tax, and the substance of which we shall doubtless again hear on the Castle-hill, at Lincoln, on the Bth of January, carry with them, like all other groundless arguments, their own confutation, and drive us in turn to observe, that a tax so avowedly oppressive and unnatural ought never to have been imposed at all, and can not be defended by any argument drawn from its productiveness ; that the health and life of society are paramount to all considerations of sordid re venue ; that it is by no means incumbent on those who severely feel, and therefore as severely object to, a cruel imposition, to find means which shall supply the loss which will occur at its removal ; that it is quite sufficient for one party to find itselfsorely oppressed, and to petition for re lief ; and that it belongs to the authors or continua tors of their wrongs to redress them, as to their wisdom shall seem ft; that the petitioners, though in the language prescribed to them calling them selves by that humble name, do not propose the object of their petition as an appeal to bounty, to kindness, and benevolence, but that they claim the relaxation petitioned for as a matter of right, of national justice : they say to their Repre sentatives, or to their predecessors who enacted this obnoxious law in question, or rather they would say, if they were not afraid of mortally offending so sublime an Assembly, " Neither you nor your forefathers had any right to enforce on us the hardship of which we complain : it is a violation of that personal property which na ture and the particular soil of England has con ferred upon us: to us, the production of our own earth supply by our own industry the in dulgence and refreshment which you derive from the luxurious varieties of the foreign vineyard : we are content to draw from the simple source of our native soil an article which is sufficient to exhilarate and support, by an essence congenial to the English Constitution, the minds and bo dies of all ranks of people by the most innocent and healthful means, particularly those of the humble and laborious classes of society ; but even this native, this inestimable production of their soil, you have unnaturally and impiously withholden from them, by loading it with a tax and other concomitant measures, that render it next to impossible that they should profit by this bounty of Providence ; the consequences of which are, the nearly total banishment of home made beer from the cottages of the whole king dom, the general depravation of all that is called beer manufactured and sold by the public brewer, and the infernal custom of gin-drinking which is fast supplanting the use of beer. We say again, and we repeat it fearlessly, that there is not a cask of pure beer, of any sort or deno mination, to be bought at any brewer's yard in the kingdom : it is all trash, manufacture, and poison : and why is this ? Why, gentlemen, it is owing to the violent and impolitic imposts you have laid on the barley, in its malted state ; which compel the makers and the brewers to combine in their ingenuity to indemnify them selves by dishonest contrivances, from the losses which those imposts would subject them to. We say, therefore, that, whether we view the matter as a case of common justice and morality or sound policy, no Government had originally a right to interfere with and to harass this great bounty of nature, nor has any Government a right to continue this annoyance ; and that in proposing a removal, we demand a right." Some days since, one of the boats of BUCKLE caught 2,000 haddocks. —Elgin Courier. A meeting has recently been held in Liver pool, at which it was determined to form a company for the purpose of forming a railway between this town and Liverpool. The line of road proposed is the same as the one projected at the meeting held in Birmingham three weeks ago.—Birmingham Journal. A quarrel lately took place between a gallant draper, and a bold and daring currier, hods residing within the same precincts of the parish of Columb Major. The latter being an amorist of a young female of prepossessing appeal ance, the former boldly attempted to evade the progress of his earnest addresses. This was too much for the man of cloth, who conceiving himself to be thus op pressed and opposed, determined on adjusting the atlitir in an honourable manner. The time being fixed, and seconds nominated, the parties repaired to the spot intended for the bloody encounter, but whilst the seconds were busily engaged in measuring the distance, the man of leather imasured his distance by a swift and precipitate retreat over a hedge—whilst the gallant draper returned with the laurel of victory ; but to his sad disappointment, has been bound over to keep the peace for the space of twelve calendar months.— Cornwall Gazette. On Sunday night and Monday morning the frost greatly increaced in its severity ; even at noon, in the suburbs, the glass was eight degrees below the freez ing point. The roads, however, continue very favourable for travelling, as there has not been any additional fall of snow ; the previous snow and ice are ground upon the rands, so that the horses proceed with safety The gar deners and farmers consider thit the frost is likely to con tinue fir some time, and arc actively engaged (almost the only matters they can do) in making preparations accord ingly. The supplies of water to most of the houses in the suburbs especially have already been stopped by the frost. halrpence.. 'the 4cers all declared that the prisoner was a general forager about town, and that he comtrived, notwithstanding the great abundance which he en joyed of every thing good, to keep up an appe,tr ance calculatg'd to excite deep compassion. Lie made it a practice 10 steal staves and meat from bakers and butchers, awl /then defected, to cry " I'm starving?" an apology which et as of abnost universal efficacy—provftotion was out the question. A few days since an otlicet itenrched him, after one of his foraging expeditions, and found in his possession four quartern loaves and ss. in moPey. ills bag is ge nerally well supplied with meat, and his ,!i.tiier being extended all over London, lie is said to be able to supply the families of other beggar: eitll provisions at a reduced price. The LORD MAYOR sail, that ►tich gross tilposi- tion mint no longer be allowed to sneeeed, r u in ..,nn mitted the prisoner, !rho looked - more starved flints ever at hearing of his degtioy, to N •-gnre for trial. Several cases of vagrancy were brought before the LORD MAYOR, in which it appeared lhat people who were out of employment, on receiving relief, had often preferred gin to hread. So powerfully had the habit of gin drinking taken hold of them, that t hey would snatch at the liquor tirfq, even though they had not, during 2-1. hours, eaten any food. One old woman was brought up by a constable charged with having disturbed the congregsri ,” at the Catholic chapel in Moorlielsis. On oar,:ay morning she was amidst the flock, and her beh.ireolr manifested that she was in a state of intoxica•iou, The constable led her cut of the chapel, but , he became noisy, and was disposed to try the man's " pluck," and she collected a crowd round the r!o.7:s by her violence. It appearel that on the precea day she lard presented herself, and begged alms r:•:, the same place with success, having :limo.. her O w most strong apparent symptoms of The old woman acknowledged that ,;;F.! had been driven by misery to beg, and that the rot-r: -: she got the price of " a quartern," site passeti to the place where it was to be had, and toot: for comfort. The LORD MAYOR asked her whether some other beverage would not have done her more service. The defendant said that gin relieved lice distress of mind, and her mind stood as a ie:11 in need of consolation as her body. She was a p a.r forlorn Irish woman, without a friend in the ‘vorld exe..pc " the drop," and site wished to be passed home, as they wouldn't let her alone in this country. The LORD MAYOR assured her that gin-drinkinig would aggravate all her sufferings. As she had un dergone two nights' imprisonment, she would now be discharged. Defendant—But I will not be discharged. I wilt not leave the prison until sotne better place is pro vided for me. I like a prison better than a work house. The LORD MAYOR said, he vas sot surprised when gin was preferred to bread, idleness in a prison should be preferred to every thing else. She was yet capable of work, but if she was determined to go to Ireland, she must apply for a pass to the offi cers of the parish where she last slept. The old woman refusing to stir except.on condi tion that she should be taken back to prison or to some place she liked as well, the officers obliged to remove her and eject her by force fr:,,it the Mansion-house.

Yesterday two well-known duffers, one of whorl., is the brother of the celebrated Dick Bowers, whc , is now serving his time across the water, were charged by a young man from the country with having attempted to impose upon him under these circumstances : The complainant was passing through Clement's lane, in the Strand, when he was accosted by a genteel-looking wan, who naked him if be wanted any prime India silk handkerchiefs, India shawlz, cigars, or some prime Irish linen, adding, that he had just smuggled over a great quantity of these articles, and could afford to sell them at less than a third of the sale price. The complainant was then induced to accompany the man to a public-house, where he was introduced to several men, and was treated to a glass of brandy. His new friend soon after showed him several silk handkerchiefs, shawls, cigars, &c., all of which, however, the countryman was knowing enough to see were spurious commc►- &ties, made up to deceive the eye; and hinting hil suspicions respecting them, the party of duffers im mediately separated, while the complainant went out to look for a police officer. In about half an hour he returned to the parlour of the public-house with two police constables, where he immediately identi fied the prisoners as two of the gang, and they were taken into custody. A parcel, containing some imi tation silk shawls, &c., and a piece of glazed calico made up to resemble French lawn, was found on them, One of the defendants said he had purchased the articles that morning for the purpose of selling again. The other described himself as a " barker," and said he was in the habit of going about the country to make sales for those who employed him. Sir R. BIRNIF. regretted that there was not suffi cient evidence to detain the defendants, who no doubt belonged to a gang of duffers by which that part of the Strand near Clemetit's-lane had been so long infested. He advised the police constables to have an eye upon all such fellows, whe were always on the watch to palm their spurious trash on the unwary. The defendants were then discharged. M A RLBOROU ON.STRIET. On Thursday last two respectable•looking men, named Anderson and Shenstone, occupying as part- ners the lower part of a house, No. 12, Orange street, Leicester-square, were brought before Mr. ROE, the sitting Magistrate, under the following circumstances : It appeared that Mr. Laing, the proprietor of a shooting gallery and billiard rooms in the Hay market, had occasion to employ a plumber and glazier to make some trifling repairs at his house, and in passing through Orange-street observed that the front shop window of the prisoner's residerwe had rolls of lead in it, and all the other appearances of a glazier's shop; besides that, the fumes of the prisoners were over the door as belonging to that trade, and Mr. Laing, without knowing any thing more of them, called in and employed them to dO the required repairs. The prisoners accordingly sent a person to Mr. Laing's to do these repairs, but soon after this person left the premises Mr. Laing discovered that the place had been robbed of a quantity of wearing apparel and other property, and upon this discovery a search-warrant was pro cured and placed in the hands of Clements and God dard, the officers, to search the premises of the pri soners for this lost property; and on the officers having proceeded to make the search, although they did not find any of Mr. Laing's property, they dis covered a large quantity of lead, upwards of a ton weight, concealed in a dark back parlour, which from the appearance of it they felt convinced had been stolen, and in this impression they were coptirineil by the immediate entrance of two men, who, trot knowing the officers, but no doubt supposing them to have come on the same business, pro ceeded to strip themselves and unrol from around their bodies whole sheets of lead. The officers !hen took all the parties into custody, an d , on further in quiry, it MS ascertained that instead of Andersen and Shenstone being plumbers and gl.:z:ers, they were tailors by trade, and merely kept in the shop
