" There are a number of dissertations on almost every Colonial topic of interest in this volume; they are marked by good sense and plain treatment, and practical, if not very enlarged views. We should consider them entitled to the attention of parties concerned, and of the public gene rally."—Literary Gazette. "The book presents in a faithful and minute picture, in the Dutch style, a state of society so extraordinary, and though of early occurrence in the history of the world, to all appearance so utterly inconsistent with human nature, that we believe the very fact of its existence will become matter of dispute to a future and more civilized age. The picture is the more rare and valuable that it seems to be absolutely impartial."—London Weekly Review. " This is really what its title indicates—a minute and faithful picture of the life of a Planter in Jamaica. We are not deluded by general descriptions and highly-coloured sketches; we are truly and justly set down in a Planter's settlement; and enabled to view the Jamaica life in all its forms."—Atlas. Printed for Griffin and Co. Glasgow; and Hunt and Clarke, York-street, Covent-garden, London. BRUCE'S HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL ATLAS.

AN HISTORICAL and BIOGRAPIII CAL ATLAS, for the Use of Schools and Students in History, front the Creation to the Birth of Christ. By JOHN BRUCE. Author of " An Introduction to Geography and Astro. nomy," "„" The object of this " Historical and Biographical Atlas" is, to supply the student in History with tl. e same advantages that the student in Geography possesses in Geo graphical Maps. The difficulty of giving a connected view of the history of different nations is well known ; but by a combination of Historical and Biographical Charts, this is now attempted to be done in a simple and efficacious manner. The Chronology of Archbishop Usher is adopted as the basis of the work. As a Companion to the above, Mr. Bruce has prepared in SVo. price 3s. 6d. canvas boards, A SUMMARY of ANCIENT HISTORY and BIO GRAPHY, with Questions for Examination in each Por tion of History. This work is sold separate from the At las, if desired. Printed for Baldwin and Cradock, Paternoster-row.

THIRD SERIES OF THE LONDON MAGAZINE. THE LONDON MAGAZINE having passed into new hands, it becomes necessary to state as briefly as possible, the principles which are intended in future to gover❑ the Publication. The LONDON MAGAZINE was amongst the foremost to seize upon the novel idea which has been successful in changing the character of our Periodical Literature—that of engaging the assistance of the best Miscellaneous Writers of the age, instead of being dependent for contributions upon the reveries of provincial antiquaries, or the inspirations of occasional rhymers. That system the present Conductors will maintain and extend ; and they have gloat satisfaction in stating, that they have secured the zealous assistance of some of the most eminent persons of the present time, not for a season only, to establish a fleeting popularity, but to be gradually developed and permanently employed. The Conductors of the London Magazine feel assured that any attempt to carry on a Literary Miscellany, with out an admixture of politics, can only lead to feebleness and hypocrisy. Without obtruding opinions on public matters into subjects with which they have no essential connection, the conductors of the London Magazine will • not hesitate to avow such opinions where they are naturally called for. The affected fairness which blinks all great questions is of more evil consequence than the party spirit which distorts them. Our habitual and settled notions are in complete accordance with every measure of policy which has a tendency to advance the civil and religious freedom of mankind and our own country in particular ; and as we know that freedom is best secured by intelli gence, we are devoted to every undertaking which has for its object to spread the blessings of elementary education, and to cultivate sound knowledge and elevattA principles amongst all ranks of the community. From these avowals, it necessarily follows, that a lead ing purpose of the London Magazine will be Utility. It will be our duty to treat of ail those questions (though cer tainly in the most attractive form) pertaining to Science, • Statistics, and jurisprudence, which have a decided in fluence upon the character of the age. Our Monthly Rivals neglect this duty somewhat too much, and thus leave a rich harvest to our Quarterly Contemporaries. In the department of Amusement, which, though the lighter, is, necessarily, the most ,prominent, of a Magazine, we must be judged by what we produce, and not by what we profess. To trace the progress of the Arts with a liberal and im partial spirit appears to be a field of periodical writing, not hitherto suif;:iently occupied ; and which must hive its attractions for all, if not rendered too technical, too exclu sive, or too pretending. With regard to Literature, we have only one word to say—we are unconnected with any bookseller. The London Magazine is the property of in dividuals forming no part of the publishing trade. As a matter of prudence, we are disposed to believe that the public are growing much too intelligent longer to bear that the dust of miscalled Criticism should be thrown into their eyes, by those whose vocation is anything but critical. We may be dull critics, but we shall not be impudent Quacks. Our notices of Foreign Literature will be' full, and derived from original sources. The First Number of the'Third Series (price 3s. 6d.) will be published on the Ist of April, at the Office of the London Magazine, 13, Pall-mall East. where all commu nications for the Editors are requested to be addressed. The Booksellers and Newsmen in Town and Country will supply the Work regularly on the Ist of every Month. THE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. LXXIV. Was published on TUESDAY.

The local peculiarities and domestic habits of Anglo• Ind►ans, more especially of those engaged in the Com pany's military department, are characteristically hit off in the present volume. This praise, however, refers to the illustrations rather than to the poem, which (notwithstanding its general truth and viva city) is really of so questionable a nature as to re quire the aid of capitals at the head of each line, in order to assure us that it is verse. We might other wise mistake it for lively and familiar prose. The subject is one that affords plenty of matter for incident and reflection : it professes to describe the career of a young Cadet (a member of the extensive and flourishing family of the Raws), from the first moment of his arrival in India to the period when he receives a staff-appointment, and is settled for life in the East. The intervening space is filled up by a succession of varied and amusing incidents, illus trative of Oriental habits—such as the Cadet's voyage down the Ganges in a nautical curiosity, not unlike a floating wash-house—his introduction to a►► old Bengal merchant—his journey over-land in a pa lanquin, which gives way and lodges him safely in the high road—his pitiable condition at a Calcutta Ball, where a crowded party are dancing quadrilles in an atmosphere some two degrees above blood-heat, and where, by way of improving his felicity, he is required to look graceful and interesting at that awful period of the quadrille, when the gen tleman exhibits alone in full front view of three ladies, who have just then abundant leisure for comment—his first ascent of an elephant, and sub sequent introduction to a wild boar at a Hindtio tiger hunt,—his fatal dismemberment of a fair waltzer's full-dress flounce (far worse than the dis memberment of Poland), during a ceremonious ball at the Governor-General's;- - his visit to the Nabob of Bengal, his flirtation, marriage, campaigning heroism, and subsequent remuneration—all these events are, we repeat, characteristically illustrated in a series of en gravings, which, leaving us nothing to wish for in point of finish, are deficient only in a cer tain breadth of humour, without which bur lesque itself is insipid. Our artist's illustrations —to quote the dictum of Swift as applied to Young's Satires—" should either have been more serious or more merry :" at present they are neither one thing nor the other ; nevertheless they possess indications enough of merit to warrant us in expecting much from the future works of the same hand. His MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to transmit to the Loan MAYox, through Mr. Secretary Parr., a donation of one hundred guineas in aid of the grand concert to be held at Guildhall on Saturday morn ing next, for the benefit of the National, Ward, and Pa rochial Schools, in the city of London, accompanied by his MAJESTY'S best wishes for its success. BATH THEATRE.--The performances on Tuesday se'nnight commenced with " The Hypocrite," exhibiting LISTON as Maw-worn - t, and a truly ludicrous portrait he drew of the poor, drivelling, fanatic. Mr. LIsTON's comic address at the end of the play was received with thunders of applause, and at this moment one of his extraordinary glances of the eye being levelled at some lady in the stage-box, it wrought so potently upon her risi bility, that a hearty or rather loud laugh was the con,e quence, which was acknowledged by LISTON with that lu dicrous air of overpowered modesty and total subjugation, fat which, we apprehend, he has the exclusive patent.-- Bath Paper. THE THEATRE.—There was a very fashion able attendance at the Theatre on Saturday evening. The performances were patronized by the Ladies I'AGET, who were greeted on their entrance with the most enthusiastic applause. A private box was occupied by the Vice Regal party, which consisted of his Excellency the Loan LIEU TENANT, the Earl of UXBRIDGE, and the Ladies PAGET ; the Earl and Countess of Eimer., Lord GEORGE HILL, and Baron TuvrA. His Excellency sat in a retired part of the box, and the auditory were quite unaware of his pre seam—The performances selected for the occasion were the Duenna, the Lancers, and Raising the Dublin Freeman's Journal. It is with sincere regret we have to state, that every hope has vanished of the safety of Captain UNTHANE and . his son, with the crew of the ship George. The sup posed wreck of that vessel, noticed in our last as having been observed on the-Dutch coast, has broken up, and stir' i n deep water. No tidings whatever have been gained m the individuals belonging to her. Mr. UNTIIANK was well known and much respected by the captains in the fishery trade, having been for many years master of the ship Zephyr, from this port. His son, who was only 16 years of age, was a very promising youth. The health of Mrs. U. remains in a very precarious state, from the dreadful state of affliction in which she has been plunged by this sad event.—Hull Packet. The farmers, gardeners, and others, in the neighbourhood of Tewkesbury, having severely suffered from the depredations of sparrows for several years past, lately agreed among themselves to kill each at least a dozen of these feathered marauders by the first of March ; on which day upwards of 1,100 were sent by the party to the Royal Oak Inn, Bredon ; and the same individuals -then agreed to destroy each a like number of these birds by the first of April.— Cheltenham Chronicle.

GUILDHALL...--We noticed yesterday the commit ment from this office of a shopiaan for robbing his employer to the extent of 4001. ; another instance of the same crime has s►nce occurred, and it is believed the depredations of the offender amount to nearly the same sum. John Davies, a shopman with Mr. Ellis, the haber dasher, in Ludgate-street, was placed at the bar yesterday before Mr. Alderman HEYG ATE, charged with stealing a parcel of silk and other goods, valued at 4/. The prisoner, who is about 30 years of age, seemed deeply affected at his situation, and hid his face with his handkerchief during the whole of his examination. His connexions were said to be highly respectable, and he would before long have fallen into a reversion of 10,0001., with expectances to the amount of 5,0001. more. Mr. Ellis stated, that on Tuesday morning the prisoner was detected in selling some goods in the shop below the marked value, and the fact being related to him, he sent for the pi isoner to make some inquiry into the subject. Pie taxed him with indulging in extravagancies which his salary would not permit, and asked him to explain how he obtained the means. The prisoner in reply invited him to search his box immediately, and witness taking him at his word, soon saw enough to convince him that he was not honest, and called up Mr. Shufflebottom, his confidential assistant, to aid him in the search. In his coat-pockets some lace and ribands were discovered, and in the box some handkerchiefs and silk stockings, which he said he had purchased of Mr. Shuffiebottom, according to the custom of the house ; but there was one pair of a peculiar fabric which he had not so purchased, but which he said he had paid for. There was also some gold, a 5/. note, and a stock receipt for 99/., laid out recently in the New 4 per Cents. Witness asked him how he had obtained this pro perty, and lie said his friends had remitted money to him. He asked bins to produce the letters in which the remit tances had been enclosed, and lie said he had destroyed them. Now a large bundle of letters was found, but none of them mentioned any remittance to him. On the con trary', one contained the thanks of the writer fur a present of 15/. ; another for a silk shawl ; another for a cloak, and so on. At last, the prisoner said he had bean in the habit of robbing him for two years, but the value of the property stolen hardly reachedl 2001. The way in which he bad been tempted to this course was, that the ladies, from all parts of the town, addressed their orders to him personally, instead of the house, and be used to put the money in his pocket, and execute the orders out of the stock in the warehouse at his convenience. Witness could not make up his mind at the time to prosecute him, but put him into the custody of Kerridge, the ward beadle, and so he was detained in the premises for some hours, till an other discovery was made. When the prisoner found he was detected, he anticipated that his box would be search ed, and hastily packed up some remnants of silk, &c. di rected it to " Mrs. Mead of Romford," and ordered a por ter to leave the parcel at the Tobit's Dog, the watering house, in the south-west corner of St. Paul's church-yard. This was at twelve o'clock in the day, but the circumstance was not discovered till eight o'clock at night, and witness immediately sent the prisoner to the Conipter. The pri soner offered to give him securities for 1,000/. if he would suffer him to escape, but witness of course rejected this overture. The prisoner had been in his employ seven years, was boarded in the house, and bad seventy-five guineas a year. The prisoner was committed for trial. His tailor's bill, for the last 12 months, amounted to 40/. and his reckon ings for wine, negus, &c. at the Tobit's Dog, where he used to spend his evenings, to 60/. more. UNION- HALL.—Yesterday a tespectable-looking fe male, named Elizabeth Finch, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, M. SWABEY, Esq., on a charge of stealing a quantity of rihand from the shop of Mr. Scott, a haberdasher, in Beckworth-row, Walworth. She was fully committed. Mr. Ilebbes, a gentleman residing in Walworth, was summoned by the driver of a hackney-coach, for refusing to pay back carriage. The coachman stated that the defendant hired bins from the stand in Illackfriars -road on the preceding night, at ten o'clock, and desired to be driven to the Elephant and Castle. On setting down, the defendant refused to give Is. back carriage, which the coachman was entitled to ; and the latter having taken out a summons, which was not attended to in the first instance, a second was issued against the defendant, who, including all expellees, was I awarded to pay 18s. 6d. ask On Wednesday morniug, at Sheffield, as a man was passing over a small bridge, near Blank Island, having a child in one arm and a bucket of water in the other hand, a sudden gust of wind blew them of the bridge into the arPam ; assistance being fortunately at hand, they were rescued from their perilous situation. —Hull Packet The three best schools for gratuitous instruc tion of the poor, which we have ev er seen, (and we have' examined a great number), are the Marquis of LANS.. DOWNE'S, in Bow Wood Park ; Lord AltuNnnu.'s, at Wardour Castle ; and the Rev. M r. GUNK'S, at Christ church. The first is a Churchman, the second a Catholic, and the third a Dissenter. In all, however, the spirit of charity, which marks the genuine religion of CHRIST, is practised as well as taught. The last is the largest, and on the whole the best conducted.--.. The World. rected by himself, and published by 3fr. Colburn.) " In pursuing the course which I now invite you to enter upon, I avow that I look for the co-operation of the King's Government ; and on what are my hopes founded ? Men gather not grapes from thorns, nor figs from thistles. But that the vine should no longer yield its wonted fruit,—that the fig-tree should refuse its natural increase, required a miracle to strike it with bar renness. There are those in the present Ministry whose known liberal opinions have lately been proclaimed anew to the world, and pledges have been avouched for their influence upon the policy of the state. With them, others may not upon all subjects • agree upon this, I would fain hope a • there will be found little difference. But be that as it may, whether I have the support of the Ministers or no,—to the Home I look with con fident expectation, that it will controul them, and assist me ; if I go too fir, checking my pro gress,—if too fast, abating my speed,—but heartily and honestly helping me in the best and greatest work which the hands of the lawgiver can undertake. . The course is clear before us, — the race is glorious to run. You have the power of sending your name down through all tunes, illustrated by deeds of higher fame, and more useful import, than ever were _done within these walls. You saw the greatest warrior ofthe arr e , conqueror of Italy—humble r ofGermany—terror of the North,—saw him account all his match less victories poor, compared with the triumph you are now in a condition to win,— saw hi m contemn the fickleness of fortune, while, in despite of her, he could pronounce his me morable boast—' I shall go down to posterity with the code in my hand !' You have van quished bins in the field : strive now to rival bins in the sacred arts of peace ! Outstrip him as a •lawgiver, whom in arms you overcame ! The lustre of the Regency will be eclipsed by the more solid and enduring splendour of the reign. The praise which false courtiers feigned for our Edwards and Harrys—the Justinians of their day—will be the just tribute of the wise and the good to that monarch under whose sway so mighty an undertaking shall be accom plished. Of a truth, sceptres are most chiefly to be envied for that they bestow the power of thug conquering and ruling thus. It was the boast of Augustus—it formed part of the glare in which the perfidies of his earlier years were lost, that he found Rome of brick, and left it of marble ; a praise not unworthy a great prince, and to which the present reign has its claims also. But how much nobler will be our Sove reign's boast when he shall have it to say, that , he found law dear, and left it cheap ; found it a sealed book—left it a living letter ; found it the patrimony of the rich—left it the inheritance of the poor ; found it the two-edged sword of craft and oppression—left it the staff of honesty and the shield of innocence ! To me, much reflecting on these things, it has always seemed a wouthi6:c honour to be the instrument of making yoo, bestir yourselves in this high matter, than to enjoy all that oflice can bestow—office, of which the patronage would be an irksome incumbrance, the emoluments superfluous to one content Wit,t t the rest of his industrious fellow-citizens, that lie own hands minister to his wants : and as for the power supposed to follow it, 1 have lived near half a century, and I have learned that power and plac,e may be severed. But one power I do prize, that of being the advocate of my country— men here, and their fellow-labourer elsewhere, in those things which concern the best interests of mankind. That power, I know full well, no Go vernment can give—no change take away r DR. PARIS ON DIET. This Treatise, which has already obtained " our hearty commendations," has just arrived at a third edition ; a circumstance no way surpris ing when we consider the interesting nature of the subject, and the skill with which the work has been put together. The arrangement in deed is excellent, and is such as to lead naturally from one point to another, apparently without labour, and to render the consideration of the most complex and most beautiful struc ture of the human body, the stomach, at once plain and intelligible, even to an unprofessional inculcated b digest, v the reader. A few instances of the use of technical expressions now and then occur, but they are of T o l w ie doctrines s of stomach to rar e oc currence, and may therefore be the more readilypardoned. sto the powers and the digestibility of the different species of sustenance administered to the body through the mouth, appear to proceed on sound principles and just reasoning, and hence their value, as peptic precepts for our guidance in the great brisi ness of refined life, eating and drinking renders the work worthy of attentive perusal and con sideration. The book, however, is not for this reason, the less deserving the attention of the medical student, for it seems well-calculated to extend his knowledge of dyspeptic cases, and the numerous and painful affections that thus give rise to cases, indeed apparently of very minor importance, but which as being fraught with un mitigated misery to the patient, and being most difficult of cure, one would have thought worthy of the anxiousand serious enquiries of the students of the medical art. These diseases, and inure espe cially hypochondriasis, have for a long time formed the opprobrium medicornm, and have long since demanded that attention from the medical world which they have now, for the first time obtained. Dr. Paris traces these disease through their several stages, and shows how, i n very many instances, common attention to diet, and perseverance in a strict regimen will, and have often, restored the tone of the stomach, and removed tormenting illnesses which had resisted every effort of m in. , • .i nc , and defied the skill of the physician. Dy s pepsia is, indeed, but too com mon, and the world must, therefore, be greatly indebted to any author who puts them in pos session o f this secret, and shows to demonstra tion the truth of his propositions ; who thus en ables a man of common judgment and common resolution to free himself from evils, that thos. only can appreci a t e w h o h ave o n ce . felt 'their force, evils which make life a burden, and escape from which would be cheaply purchased by lay ing down that life. But dyspeptic complaints do not soon or easily kill. Their torments must he endured, for they bear cleat! A on their wings, they must first introduce chronic disorders, or lead to some internal complaints before they de stroy. Dr. Paris has given us this secret in his treatise on diet ; and we strongly and urgently recommend his work to the perusal of such of our unfortunate fellow mortals, as experience the effects of dyspepsia, and have hitherto found medicine useless. For all this, the Doctor is no enemy to the table sub modo, and with due attention to the powers of the stomach to digest what we allow To the PROPRIETORS of EAST INDIA STOCK.
