" We may confidently assert, that this is a book per ferfectly sui generis. The quantity of butter is truly as tonishing ; and the entire publication is offered at a price so moderate (four and a half guineas) that we can hardly dare to hope it wilt do more than cover the expences of the public-spirited booksellers, who have spared no cost to render it, what we confidently pronounce it to be, the most useful and the most popular botanical work that has ever appeared in the English langu.rge,"—Jameson's Edin.

Of Bio graphies there are 11 ; Original Poetry Weekly, from the most Popular Writers; and 46 Sketches of Society at Home and Abroad. Such are the heads of this Volume, consisting of 854 closely printed quarto pages of three columns each; and for its pretensions the Publisher ven tures to quote the Editor's brief Address to his readers, in the last Number for the past year : •' Among friends there is little need of protestations or assurances, and therefore, though custom almost demands a few words at this season cf the year, we shall very briefly say what we have to say to our friendly Readers. Encouraged by their unceasing and increasing support, we have omitted no exertion to render the Literary Gazette as general and perfect an epitome of the Literature, Science, and Fine Arts of the time, as its limits would possibly ; and we are free to affirm that it does form a more complete compendium of these important matters than any 'periodical that ever issued from the Press. In other re spects, we have only to repeat, that a single line never gained admittance to its columns through partiality ; that it has neither courted favour by flattery to the measure of individual expectations, nor feared to incur displeasure by honest strictures. Having by such means obtained the public confidence, is the beat guarantee that it will, by a steady adherence to the same principles, continue to de serve " Pooley Fum's Siamese Views of Matters in England," by the Author of " Wine and Walnuts," &c. will com mence with No. 676, Jan. 2d, and be regularly con tinued.

GAWAN and Co.'s PATENT TRUSSES without Steel Springs, 200, Fleet-street, :close to Temple-bar. GAWAN and Co. engage to secure with ease every description of Rupture without the aid of Steel Springs ; and to remove all prejudice, they allow to rich and poor a trial of one month. Gawan and Co. assert this with the fullest confidence, from several years practice in a great variety of slight u well as the most difficult eases of Rup ture, recommended by Gentlemen in the Medical Profes sion, whose surgical skill stands pre-eminent, and to whom they can refer. These Trusses will not suddenly break, even when Gentlemen are riding or hunting, nor when the poor are engaged in their most laborious occupations Adult. and Children have been cured by wearing them night and day.

A little Power like this becomes a mere shuttlecock between the battledores of greater Powers from the moment when it Moves out of its own tranquillity into their quarrels. Its only chances are to cling to the strongest ; and alas for it if it mistake in its choice! That was the unhappy lot of Den mark, and so her capital was bombarded—her fleet stolen—her provinces wrested from her. For Napoleon to-day, when his star seemed in the ascendant—against him to-morrow, when reverses appeared to be his portion, Denmark managed to obtain in turn the ill-will of both France and England, constantly meddling in their misunderstandings, and . always, as a matter of course, the victim. Kings of small nations, who are fond of the follies of military display, and whose needless armies are the objects of their almost undivided care, very soon get into scrapes. They' want to show off, they desire to do something, they have " the love of glory" in them like other men, and so a very little coaxing sets their warrior-vanity on the tiptoe, and away they go to the wars--to the wars--with their 50,000 soldiers; they dance and sing through the ball like their bigger neighbours ; but at last the piper is to be paid, and the poor waltzers must go to the workhouse. The spoils are to be divided, and the fable is realized even beyond its letter. The lion takes his share in the spoil, and in addition sometimes a dainty bit from the haunches of those who have had the honour of hunting in his Royal company. This is about the history of Denmark for a generation. Very different would have been her position had she preserved throughout a quiet neutrality ; a diffi cult matter, no doubt, but it is the business of Statesmen to conquer such difficulties. I have heard .that, when Nieubur the historian's rare talents began first to exhibit themselves, it was proposed to the King to make him his Prime Minister. Such a thing was not to be thought of ; he had no titles ; he was not of the aristo cracy—the aristocracy, whose right to be Mini sters is as legitimate and as divine as that of " the anointed ones" to be Kings. I have obtained a pretty correct statement of the present population of his Danish Majesty's dominions. It is as follows -- Inhabitants. Lland of Zealand 560,000 Funen 130,000 Laaiand Districts of Aalborg 130,000 Vyborg Aarhuus 95,000 Ribe 155,000 975,000 The Duchies have-- Schleswig 320,000 Holstein 360,000 737,000 Lanenhurg The Northern Islands, Faros Iceland In all 1,768,000 In the West Indies Denmark has about 45,000 subjects, and in the East 50,000. Of this po pulation about one million speak Danish, and half a million German. Frisian iS spoken in some of the Islands. One cannot but regret that so much valuable information should be nearly lost to the world as is to be found in the Danish language. The services of literary men in this country are confined to an extremely small sphere. Except of school-books, Bibles, and works of religious instruction, an edition seldom extends beyond 200 copies. Denmark overflows with titles, decorations, and Petty piivileges. Almost every other re spectably-dressed person that you meet in the streeChas a star or a cross on his breast, a riband at his button-hole, or a medal dangling from his waistcoat. Honours so widely spread are, as may. Well be supposed, of exceedinglyJittle value. The:nobility were completely stripped,tf politi cal power in 1660, when the King. was declared absolute; and doubtless the people WFrehenefitted by the Change ; yet, though the change was, at that time, all that public opinion, demanded, there, is a general feeling that something better is • wanting now. To the King's person there is a very 'devOtedattachment, and he certainly appears to use his unlimited power with much modera tion 4 (1, integrity of purpose. :There is a pater nity about' his Government which makes it, in many,iiespects, benevolent ; while 'firs accessible ness is tux invaluable security against the misdeeds of intiOor agents. Every Monday, from nine to on o'clock,. the Palace is open to all sup utas and there is not a subject of the King, mwever mean or shabbily clad, who may not then obtain a personal audience of his Majesty. On-such days the audience chamber is exceed ingly crowded, and the King'idistributes con siderable sums of money among his necessitous subjects. No introduction of.any sort is needed ; and a popularity, of no little importance to such a Government, is cheaply and wisely purchased. Copenhagen presents a great variety of cos tumes. The female inhabitants of the neigh bouring island of Amager, who are descendants of Dutch settlers, still preserve their ancient and grotesque dresses, carrying with them such loads of clothing that the human form is completely lost in their cumbersome woollen garments. The French modes are usually adopted among the wealthier classes ; in fact, civilization is gradually trenching upon nationalities, so that, if a stranger were suddenly °deposited in any of the great theatres or public places of Europe, he would ceititittly , not be able, from the appearance of the inhabitants, to distinguish one country from another. The Danish language is insufficient for daily intercourse with the world, though it is sweet, and rich, and graceful ; so every well bred person speaks ,acme other tongue—gene rally German, but fregnently English and French. Translations from. our English books are in every stall. Scott seems to bear the palm of celebrity, and Cooper (whose sea scenery a, sea scenes have all the recommendation of tr and vigour) has greatly approved himself to tie minds of this maritime people. Of their own men of genius I shall write to you hereafter. Ochlenschlager, at least, is no new name in England. He is just returned from Sweden, where he and Tegner have been feted by the Swedish people. This is well were it only be cause it brings nations together, who, for some years, were looking at one another with jealousy —or something worse. --- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH, ale. 3l.—We learn that the Clio, 10, is ordered to be brought forward for commis sioning at this port. In Ham oaze.—St. Vincent, Kent, Druid, Ariadne, Hyacinth, Vigilant, Leveret, Royalist, Starling, and Meteor Steam-vessel. PPPOINTMENTS.—Commander Watling to the Hyperian, vice Hood ; Lieut. J. H. Turner, to the Galatea, An order has been received from the Admiralty to discharge twenty men from each of the guard ships in the port, and ten marines to be embarked in their room. His Majesty's ship Worcester, of . 64 guns, was on Friday laenched from Deptford dock-yard. The Worcester is to proceed to Woolwich to receive her internal and other complerions. This is probably the last ship, that will be built in this yeard, as the whole of the establishment wilYbe discharged after the launch. Extensive alterations are expected to take place at Pembroke-yard, in common with other of his Ma jesty's Dock-yards.

The frosts have had the beneficial effect of check ing the ravages of the slug, which had commenced its-destructive career. Tares, clover, and the artifi cial grasses, have made good, progress. The poorer class of farmers have perhaps generally disposed of the greater part of their stock of wheat, in order to discharge, as far as within their power, the very pressing demands upon them; and many in better circumstances, from one motive or another, have thinned unusually their stack-yards. The barley and pulse crops are in sufficient plenty ; but the greater part of the former stained by the wet, and the latter soft, and hence not readily saleable ; and all gradually declining in price. The quantities of barley, fit for making, offered at market, have been very limited during the season—a circumstance ap parently of no great consequence, the brewers hold ing gieat stacks of malt as well as hops, of which the deficiency of the late crop has had no great effect in raising the price. The stocks in hand, and the foreign import, which must continue during the spring, preelude all expectation of a risng corn market. The cattle markets, both for fat and store-stock; are supposed to have reached their minimum of au tumnal price, and are quoted with a shade of -ad vance. There has been a fine opportunity of pur chase for those who have possessed the means, to gether with the materials of winter keep. They cannot fail of a profitable return. With respect to those, the majority, it is to be feared, in reduced circumstances, they have been enabled to purchase on credit, even where an old arrear has subsisted, from the absolute necessity of sale in the glutted markets. Winter cattle feeding, however, may prove a serious concern, more especially in the event of a long frost (no unreasonable expectation), from the general failure of the root crops, of mangold beyond the others, - which, when successful, affords such immense snpplics. The carrots of the present season are particularly fine, and of substantial quality. Apples are superabundant, and the metropolis amply stocked, not only with the new varieties, but with increasing quantities of the old and excellent sorts, the nonpareil, russetin, rennet, and pippin of im .prctved quality.

TURNIP HOAX.--A short time since, a man in a state of semi -intoxication, went into a public house at Miechinhampton, and announced that the Rev. -, who had a fine field of turnips in the neigh bourhood, had kindly given the whole of the crop to the poor of the parish. The tidings were received with joy, and the health of the charitable minister was drank amid the loudest acclamations ; and on the following Monday, the field was crowded at break of day by men, women, and children, who worked with wondrous perseverance in dig ging up and conveying home the turnips. About ten o'clock the worthy clergyman was observed to approach the field in great baste, followed by his serviutt, both of them on horse back, armed with large whips. The poor peasantry wished to receive this minister of charity with a cheer expressive of their gratitude, but no sooner had he ar rived than he began storming at his industrious Aeighl)urs in no measured terms, and before they could recover from their surprise, both he and his servant commenced driving them out of the field. The confusion which reigned for some time was inde,cribable, the poor deluded people scrambling over walls and gates to escape. At last the equestrians were left sole possessors of the field of battle, which was literally strewed with hats, knives, and imple ments of husbandry, used by the flying foe to ah.tract the turnips from their mother earth. l utaltbough victorious. and in possession of the field, they were, alas ! in posses- sion of very few of the turnips, nearly the whole of which remained in the bonds of the enemy. As many of th• offenders as could be recognised were summoned before th, Magistrates of the district, when the matter being ex plained as a hoax, they were dismissed with a fine of on. shilling each ler the damage done, and the worthy clergy man, much to his credit, joined in the laugh which had thus been created at the expense of his turnips.-- Chelten ham Chtonicle. George Wachs, ac the time of committing the crime only 19 years of age, was the son of it reputable farmer, and was bound apprentice . to miller, in which situation he was remarkable Ka' sobriety and good conduct until the age of 18, when, all of a sudden, his passions developing themselves with frightful energy, he plunged into a course of riot and debauchery, became a kind of village Lovelace, and, to support the expenses of this way of life, was led to the commission of . a theft to the amount of 50 florins, which sum his father reimbursed the person robbed, to save - his son from disgrace. .Far from being corrected by the first warning, .George Wachs continued his profligate course of life, and passed the greater part, of his time in the company of loose and idle characters. On Holy Thursday Wachs left his master's house, under the pretence of going to the neighbouring town to confess himself. Oa the way he overtook a young countryman of his acquaintance, who was going to the same town to have his watch repaired. They entered a public-house and had some beer ; and the coun tryman, on telling Wachs the object of his visit , to the town, showed him the watch, which seemed greatly to excite his admiration. He said it was . the, only article wanted to com plete his toilet, and expressed great regret at not being able to provide himself with one. After some time they again set out for the town, but soon entered another , beer-house, where Wachs became intoxi cated, exhibiting the most boisterous signs of joy, leaping about, throwing his hat in the air, &c. Soon after quittiog this second public house, Wachs declared that he would put off his confession to another day, parted from his companion, and went towards Huber's (the shoe-maker) house, to have some slight repairs done to his boots. On entering the house, Wachs found Huber occupied with a country man, and until he could'attend to him sat down, • and played with the children, amongst whom he divided a cake. After his boots had been re-. paired he was about qUitting the house, when Huber's clock struck four. Wachs asked if it was correct, and Huber told his wife to bring down his silver watch, in order to compare them. The wainan, after bringing the watch, left the house to go to the market to purchase fish, and the children went out to play in the garden. Wachs was' again about leaving the house, when his eye fell . upon the watch, which lay on the counter. He took it up and examined it. Hubei told him • that it cost 14 Grins, and that the silver chain , belonging to it was- in a room on the second floor. Wachs paced up and down the shop in 'silence and abstraction : this fatal watch occupied all his thoughts ; at every instant the desire to possess himself of it became stronger, and al though, as he himself asserted, he for a quarter of an hour struggled against the temptation, it at length became too powerful for him. He suddenly seized a hammer, rushed at the unfortunate Huber, who was quietly occupied with his work, struck him a violent blow with the hammer on his head, and knocked him senses less off his chair ; then, seizing the watch, he ran up to the room on the second story, and posy sessed himself of the silver chain, a pale of ear-rings, seven florins, and some other ports able articles. Hearing the (lying groans of his victim, he rushed clown stairs ) took up the body in his, arms, deposited it in a closet, and was leaving the house, when, as he crossed the threshold, he met - the two eldest children re turning from the garden, who kindly wished him farewell. The idea entered his mind that these children might denounce him as the mur:, derer of their father. He instantly resolved upon their destruction ; and first, seizing the boy (a child of three years old) by the feet, he dashed his head against the ground and killed him on the spot. He then, after rolling the body into a corner, laid hold of the girl and dashed her also against the earth, but she rose up again and ran into the house, calling upon her fitthe for help. The murderer followed her and struck her with the same hammer which had served to kill her father. She fell senseless ; and Wachs, supposing her to be dead, left her, and was again about quitting the scene of this bloody tragedy, when he was withheld from doing so by seeing a peasant with a cart and horse going by. He waited till this man was out of sight, and was then again quitting the house, when he saw Huber's wife returning from the market. As it was impossible to quit the house without being seen by her, he resolved to add her to his other victims. Shutting the door, and concealing the hammer, he awaited her coming. On entering the house the poor woman asked smilingly and in a good humoured tone, if he meant to make himself a prisoner in the house. The answer was a blow of a hammer oh her skull, which laid her,• after muttering the words Jesu Maria! dead at his feet. After this series of fiendish acts, strange and incredible though it may appear, Wachs went to the cradle where the infant lay, and arranged it with the greatest possible care lest it should fall from the cradle, 'or any accident happen to it. He then closed the door, and quitted that house into which he had entered but a few mnsnents before without having conceived the idea of any crime, but which he left with the guilt of' four murders on his sou l. The littl e girl (Cathe rine) was still alive when the neighbours entered the house, and named Wachs as the murderer of herself and her family, Confounded by this testimony the wretch avowed his guilt, and gave the foregoing details of its perpetration. The Criminal Court condemned him to death, and he was decapitated on the 28th of October last.
