"The consequence of the wishes thus strongly expressed " was the commencement of a Subscription for the pur " pose stated; .' . ' _ •` It was, however, soon found, that although the public feeling had been very decidedly and generally shewn in " favour of it, the Subscription was likely materially to stiffer from the want of some persons who could under " take the management, and promiste the necessary bui,i -" nen connected with it. This led to the formation of the Sub-Committee, consisting of the following indi '" duals : V; 3. Littleton, Esq. M.P. Lord Howard de Walden Hon. G. A. Ellis, M.P. E. J. Denison, Esq. 31.1'. J. Boathouse, Esq. M.P. John Hope, Esq. M.P., So licitor-General for Scot land, Edinburgh Earl Gower Lord Morpeth, M.P. Hon. W. S. Ponsouby, M.P. S. Rice, Esq. M.P. A. paring, Esq. M.P. J. Plants, Esq. M.P. " The Sub-Committee have, however, thought it tight, 4 , until the present Meeting of the Subscribers, to confine 4 , their labours within as narrow a compass as possible— " and only to perform those acts, which if left wiper .' formed would evidently and certainly have prejudiced " the Subscription. .4 With these views. the Sub-Committee have been almost exclusively employed in communications with " Bankers to facilitate the receipt and ensure the safe custody of Subscriptions ; in the answering of friendly offers of assistance ; and in the insertion of the necessary " advertisements in Newspapers, and the printing and dis " seminating the Circular. as widely as possible. " The Sub-Committee have much gratification in an " nouncing, that the Subscription, notwithstanding the " little they have been able to do to forward it, is in a " very prosperous state; the last return of it amounts " to 9 ,560/. 14s. 6d. " It remains with the Meeting to decide upon the future " course of proceedings which they may think proper to " adopt. If the Sub-Committee might venture to offer a suggestion it would be that a permanent Committee " should be formed, to whom might be entrusted the " future management and application of the Subscription." On the motion of the Duke of Somerset, seconded by H. G t liy Knight, Esq., It was resolved unanimously, That a Committee be appointed to superintend the con duct and application of the Subscription for a Monument to the memory of Mr. Canning. On the motion of the Earl of Clare, seconded by th e Right Honourable Sir George \Varrender, It was resolved unanimously, That the Committee consist of the following indivi_ noels, having power to add to their !lumber The Lord Chancellor Lord Howard de Walden Duke of Norfolk Lord Grenville Lord Wharncliffe • Duke of S omerset Duke of Devonshire Lord Seaford Duke of P or tl an d Agar Ellis, M.P.

The novelty of fact exhibited will command wonder,— only to be explained by the circumstances which have given the author access to public as well as private archives, hitherto ' a fountain shut up, and a book scaled.' The chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the liberal and truly philosophical east of thought and sentiment, are what no one need be surprised with, who has read some of his previous writings : but this performance is every. way a more elaborate one than any of those, and of higher pretensions,—pretensions • which we have no doubt the world will pronounce to be justified in the result. To throw an air of total novelty on a theme of ancientinte rest,—to write a history, where previously there had been only memoires pour servir,'—such has been our Ameri can countryman's prowl attempt; and with unmingled pleasure do we contemplate the fruit of his long and ar duous labours."—Literary Gazette, Feb. 2.

J. D. having lately purchased the unsold Stock of sonic of the best Works in Voyages and Travels of recent ap pearance, is enabled to offer them now, for the first time, very considerably under their original publication price. Among them the following are of peculiar interest in our present political relations with Turkey, Greece, Russia, Persia, the Brazils and Chili—of which countries they give the fullest and best accredited accounts. 1.

Also, Travels in various Countries of the East, in continuation of the " Me moirs." Illustrated with many fine engravings. 2 vole. Ito, boards, 305., published at 61. 6s. Among the best critics of England, France, Germany, and Italy, there has been but one opinion of the merits of this Work, as throwing unusual light upon oriental and ancient literature, and as forming a collection of rare intel ligence and extraordinary value relative to countries and people with whom we arc at present but imperfectly ac quainted. 2. Sir R. K. PORTER'S TRAVELS in GEORGIA, PERSIA, ARMENIA, ANCIENT BABYLONIA, and other interesting Parts of the East.

Os. These Travels extend, in the whole, over not less than 8,500 miles ofground, embracing a large portion of country never before trodden by European foot, i❑ which nothing has escaped his penetrating eye, or that he has failed to describe with fidelity and truth ; his indefatigable industry in the pursuit of Natural History alone has added 60,000 additional objects to the study of Botany and Zoology. As the Ist volume relates to the Cape of Good Hope, it is sold separate. 5.

This Authoress possessed peculiar facilities for observing and collecting the most correct information upon whatever became the object of her inquiry, and her Works arc, from the importance of the subjects they refer to, her faculties for acquiring information, and her talents as a writer, at the present moment calculated to excite great interest, and claim particular notice. 7.

By H. MURRAY, Esq. F.R.S.E. Map, 2 vols. Bvo. boards, Ss. 6d., published at 275. Th e r e is no work relating to the vast Continent of Africa, besides this, that contains so much valuable infor mation, in so condensed a form, and in so small a com pass, or that can convey a greater share of information► and interest in its pursuit, than this is calculated to afford to every class of readers.

By SAMUEL RUSH MEYRICK, LL.D. and F.S.A, Advocate in. the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts. 3 vols., folio, 121., (published at 211.,) neatly half-bound in calf, lettered, and uncut. J. DOWDING, Bookseller, 82, Newgate-street, having become the sole Proprietor of this magnificent and popular Work, most respectfully informs the Public that, in conse quence of the heavy outlay in the purchase of a Property so valuable, and to insure as speedy a return as possible, he has determined to offer a limited number of copies, at little more than half the publication price ; a most important opportunity for the tasteful collector of rare and beautiful hooks, as the immense expense of a publication of this pe culiar nature must render a re-print impossible. This superb Work will, doubtless, shortly resume its original standard price, from which it can never again be reduced ; and, as it is perfectly unique, it may reasonably be expected that its value will rapidly rise in proportion to its scarcity. J. D., therefore, submits to his friends the advantage of au early purchase. This work is the produce of the most extensive research in the field of antiquity. Every statement contained within its pages is founded upon original documents and authentic records, and thus it is admirably adapted to ex plain the origin, progress, and decline, of the various sys tems of warfare " inby-gone days." Its invariable adhe rence to historical tlizts is the basis of its intrinsic value; and the correctness of its delineations renders it highly inte resting, not only to the learned and the curious, but to every one desirous of becoming advantageously acquainted with the history of nations and of men. History, both ancient and modern, abounds with descriptions of renowned martial heroes and their deeds, and with allusions to the prominent local customs of every age. The beautiful work of Dr. Meyriek is, therefore, expressly calculated to throw a neiv and a brilliant light upon the attractive pages of Hume, Robertson, Gibbon, Mitford, Roscoe, and Hallam, and even of Shakspeare himself. After a brief account of the rise and progress of warfare, and the use of arms among the ancient nations, the armour and the weapons, not only of the warrior, but of the plumed Knight engaged in the courtly tournament, are minutely described as they existed in England from the Norman Conquest to the reign of Charles the Second ; and the Descriptions are accompanied by a numerous sad splendid assemblage - of exquisite En gravings, inlaid with gold and silver, and coloured in a style of great delicacy and beauty. The Initial Letters of the chapters arc richly illuminated, in the manner of the ancient missals, and embellished with curious antique Representations of the Customs and Characters of the Times. The Edinburgh Review justly observes, that " the ground of dead silver upon which the Initial Letters arc raised, has an effect that is extremely beautiful." Many of the illustrations display the figures of celebrated Heroes on horseback in full armour, with the weapons they used, and with the horses superbly caparisoned, as they appeared in the field of battle. What can be more appropriate for the elucidation of the History describing the glorious scenes in which they were engaged ? Such an Illustration of the most interesting branch of general knowledge has long been a desideratum in British Literature, and it has been ably supplied by the talents and the labours of Dr. Meyrick, who has thus become entitled to the thanks of his country for an important National Work, in which accuracy, mag nificence, and utility, are equally combined. ,s J. DOWDING'S • GENERAL CATALOGUE of Second-hand Books is just published, and contains an extensive collection of superior standard works, in every class of literature, at extremely moderate prices. Also, a " Cheap List," on a large sheet adapted for. sending gratis, by post, containing many valuable modern works, of which all the copies remaining unsold have been purchased by him, on the failure of an eminent house, upon terms which enable him to offer them at from oneL.third to half the ori ginal publication prices.

LAME presented a petition from certain Dis nnters, praying for the repeal of the Test and Corpora tion Acts. He wished to say one word 011 the subject of the present petition. The Dissenter s had declined to make common cause with the Roman. Catholics, and he Aserved with regret, that the petition contained nothing. in favour of the Catholics, hut confined itself to the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. lle believed• the great body of the Dissenters were favourable to the Catholics, and surely, although they might not feel disposed to make common cause with them, there were other ways of show ing that they' were friendly to their claims, instead of leaving it, even up to this hour a mooted point, as to whether they were favourable or otherwise to ~ heir Roman Catholic coumtrymen.

Lord MILTON said that representing so large a county as he did, he had frequent communications with Dissen ters, and he found the great majority were favourable to Catholic Emancipation. He considered that the grievan ces under which the Dissenters suffered were by no means imaginary. Mr. JOHN WOOD said he himself was a Dissenter, and he knew that Dissenters did not ask for any privileges which they were not willing to extend to every class of his Majesty's subjects.

'I he meeting was attended by a name ! rens body of parishioners, amongst whom we no ' ticed many individuals of rank. At one O'CIOCIC WILLIAM CRAWFORD, Esq. ,wv. called to the Chair, on. the motion of Admiral ' Oliver. In his opening address, the , Chairman -con densed much of what was delivered, more diffusely by the subsequent speakers. Application-had been made to him a few days previously op the subjevt of the present meeting, by a parishioner of great re., spectability. He had complied with that gentleanan's request, that he would inquire into the eiretunstance.,. which originated the very general complaints pow preferred against the Select Vestry by the parish of St. Alarylebone.• The result of his, investigating ‘vai a personal conviction that their discOntent iiad been fully warranted by the causes which produced it.. The report of the committee was then read, a.llll received by the meeting. It took a review of the abuses which it had been formed to inquire into and remedy since its first establishment in April last, and recommended an application to Parliament,' fui the redress of grievances occasioned by wanton And prodigal mat-expenditure of parochial money, on,the part of the select vestry. A series of resolutielH, were subsequently passed by acclamation.. .It resolved that a subscription should be entered iet , - far the purpose of defraying the expense of an appli cation to t h e H ouse of COIIIIIIOIIS fur leave to li t il!: : in a Bill contemplating the re-constru c ti on o f lie- Marylebon e 'vestry. - The meeting was addressed at great length 1. , , Mr. FIELDER, who animadverted on the select ; ,:.- try's misappropriation of the public money, and vl en 9 into a. detail of wavy cases where that body l; been guilty of unwalTantable extravagance in Li: , (ling the parochial funds. Mr. BEECHAM next made some aniinadversion w . the measures of tli vestry. Dr. Thompson sui. nested to the parish the expediency of refusing 1-, delegate a power of framing the proposed Bill to t1,,- committee, without submitting it for their approifd Lion previous to its being presented to Parliameni . This counsel appeared highly popular, and Mr, , Pop assented to it cheerfully on th e p ar t o f the Con, inittee., Dr. Thompson's name was therefore a Idic- 1 " to those already appointed to inspect the proceed ings of the vestry, and prepare the Bill in contrei - plation : . _ . - Apologies front Mr. Hume, General Fitzroy, anJ Major-General King, for non-attendance, having bpen read, the Chairman intimated that subscriptipng would be received at 11 .

GENERAL MEETING OF JOURNEIMEI Sits WEAVERS.-Yesterday a lieeting of Operative Silt Weavers was held in St. John-street Chapel, Spitaltield., for the purpose of taking into consideration the ptopristy of petitioning the Legislature for a " Protection Wages Bill." The Seuretarr read a. Report of the Committee appointed- to inquire into -the .esuses of the distresses under which the Silk Operatives have hitherto laboured. Report occupied about au hour in reading, and in it We! embodied the privations which press upon the lahouriz-.g part of the silk manufacturers. After some further chart vations, the petition having been received and adopted, Meeting separated. Last night a House was very uncxpectedl\ made, but nothing was done except the presenting, of pi titions ; there was, however, some rumour and expectation that Mr. HERRIES would say something in reply to Lord GODERICIes remarks of Tuesday night. On the Oppo sition Benches many Members were present, Mr. TixartY, Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. S. Rice, &c., but there was net one Minister present, and not the slightest allusion was made to the explanation.

Those at High Wycombe, we learn, have already attached to them upwards of a thousand names. At Wo burn, also petitions arc preparing. —Bucks Chronicle. The scene in the House of Counnons on Mon day night was one of great animation, and , tiengly c 1 cited curiosity. The house not only presented an unusually full attendance of Members, but under the gallery, and the Members' side galleries, were crowded to an almost inc6ll-• veuicnt excess. In the Opposition side gallery, namely, that which faces the Opposition Benches, appeared Lair Gam - , accompanied by Lord (LAmßruN) Dunritm ; and Dear them were Lords Itossi,viv, LAUDERDALE, &c. In' the Ministerial side gallery wet.; Earl SrENcrn, the Mar • quis of LA NsDowNE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, and severs other Peers. The Marquis of LaNsnowxr appeared 1 , pay ; and ss soon waiti,a,great ot r a u t i t al e ise n e t eo in x o npella t u o ndac i: d l i o r .0 1 Iy f 3s Lordshipstatement ds rexv iril n r. liar GRey retired before its conclusion. In the roof there ware a great number of ladies, consisting of the wives and daugh ters of several of the Metnhers, Mrs. FRAI‘LA?,'D LEwn, Mrs. W. HORTON, &c. The system of disinterring bodies is seemingly carried on to an alarming extent all over the kingdom, and we much fear that this species of depredation, so aggravated and revolting, must be attended with the most rerious and fatal consequences. We lately had occasion to mention. that a body had been carried off from the church-yard of Drumoak ; and last week, in the adjoining parish of Pc - terculter, another instance of the like occurred. In thie latter esse, the body of a child was disinterred and carried off m the most deliberate manner, the lid of the coffinbeing unscrewed before removing the body, while those engaged in this illegal act, appeared to have made an unsuccessful attempt to open another grave.—Aberdeen Chronicle. : - The estimated number of looms propelled bii water and steam power in the United Kingdom, including those in preparation for working previous to the stagna tion, and, as near as any calculation can be made, ix 38,000.

LARGE BONNETS.—We have been requet4.- ed to remonstrate with the huge bonnets that are now in fashion, and that are found by s cled venient in the pit. the 13 Atlantic ha‘ ‘ivOtiolci:otnii covere,ii fortably as 'if she were sitting i❑ . a • chaise, and perhaps feels lady before her similarly arced ) o f calash ; but the unfot tuitate the snugger for that sort persons e nb hi d her deprived both theof pleasure of the scene, and of the consols .tion of beholding th e b ac k part o f a human bead, arc a s much at a loss as if the chaise were actually before them. Imagine thirty or forty of those vehicles, placed unacuntably about te pit, with a fair mystery iii eac h, like the lady in the h lobster ! The lady would be speedily detached, with a merry violence, and the vehicles r olled away. But head and bonnet are not to bs divorced. In vain the fair wearers are requested to take them off. They wonder at you ; they frown ; they " can not think of such a thing." The ladies who make the !s -quat (for this is a difficult office for a gentleman) acknow ledge that compliance is hardly to be expected. The head is dressed for the bonnet; and besides, where is so huge a machine to be put? Thus then the ladies sit on, seeing but not allowing to see. The persons in the shadoW of their borders contrive, by leaning their heads sideways, cribbing a bit on the seat, and other desperate resources, to partake painfully of what is going forward ; but those more Mime diately in the dark, particularly the unhappy person rigbi behind, give the thing up as hopeless. The bonneted hst - iir intercepts the main part of the scene. CHARLES KEMELV, is swallowed up. The wing of an army is made no met of than that of a chicken. Enter a house and grounds : no matter r—tbe yawn of the Lonnet engulphs them like a lawyer's bag. At the opera, you may get a leg now and then, or the point of a shoe. Nothing that we can say could remedy an evil of this description. The fashion must change of its own accord.—Leigh Hunt's Com panion. -.. ...4,
