LITERATURr. TUE ANNUAL BIOGRAPHY AND OBITUARY LoNi)oN, 1830. This is a work of a useful but melancholy cha racter, being a register of those great men among us who have died during the last year, together with a short but adequate sketch of their lives both public and private. Few gen tlemen should be without such a publication ; it forms an indispensable addition to a good library, as the majority of those whose biography is sketched in it have been one way or other —as all write now a days—either directly or indi rectly connected with literature. Among the fullest and most efficient Memoirs in the present volume, we may mention those of Sir Humphrey Davy, and Mr. Terry the actor, in which last is in serted an able, but rather partial estimate of his abilities by Sir Walter Scott. Major Laing is another fair specimen of biography, in which the writer has evidently made the most of the few materials he had to deal with. One great recommendation of this work is its freedom from party or sectarian spirit. An unbiassed and judicious estimate is formed of the public worth of each particular individual. THE ARMY.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The outline t,i the publishers' resolutions for the alleged regulation awl pur (;cation of the bookselling business, sent you vesteethiy, was avowedly the re sult of memory. I had no better authority than a very brief conversation with one bookseller '(on whom, however, I could 11.1 y), who had read the resolutions for the purpose of signing them ; and not being conversant with the details of the 'trade, and having taken no memorandum of a hasty con versation, some parts of the resolutions are defec tively narrated, and others were purposely omitted, where I felt some doubt ; but being assured of the correctness of the substance—feeling the subject to be one of .vast importance to an immense number of very meritorious individuals--and thinking that not ' a moment was to be lost —I forwarded that sketch of the resolutions to you. I have since obtained, in writing, an outline of the resolutions drawn up under the clubbed recollections of three booksellers, who have been obliged to sign the resolutions in self-de fence, but who nevertheless disapprove of them, a' arbitrarily combining to shackle the freedom of trade, and who contend that, if the booksellers choose to sell at one or five per cent. profit, the pub lishers ought not to meddle with them since the said publishers still get their prices. However, the cha racter of the transaction I shall not stop to discuss here, but content myself with forwarding for your consideration, and that of the public, such accurate information as I have collected illustrative of this curious proceeding. With that view, though I may run the risk of some repetition while supplying some omissions, I take the liberty of sending you ,a copy of the booksellers' transcript of their account of the publishers' resolutions. It follows : SUBSTANCE OF THE REGULATIONS AGREED TO BY A COMMITTEE OF THE LONDON BOOKSELLERS. " At a Meeting of the London Booksellers, held at the Chapter Coffee-house, on the 9th of De cember, 1829, for the purpose of securing the in terests of the bookselling trade, it was resolved— " That the practice of underselling having grown to an alarming extent, both by advertising new books, or old books reprinted, considerably under the regular prices, and also by the ticketting of books, by which means great loss had been occasioned to re spectable booksellers and publishers, and serious injury done to the respectability of the trade gene rally, it is highly desirable that measures should be taken to check such proceedings as far as possible, to excite throughout the trade mutual harmony and confidence; to increase their respectability ; to pro mote cordial co-operation; arid to enable both pub lishers and booksellers to enjoy these profits to which they are respectively entitled. " That any retail Bookseller who shall sell new publications, or old books re-printed, under the pub lication, price, either by advertising or tickesting them at reduced prices, unless such books shall have been abandoned by the proprietor, or the re mainder sold at a trade sale, when it is ascertained that such bookseller persists in the practice after he has seen these regulations, and has been ad mo • nished of the evil of such practice, he shall have his name erased from the list of Booksellers. " That it shall not, however, be deemed an in fringement of this last resolution if, in cases of ready money being offered, a reduction of 10 per cent. be made from the publication price. " That the allowance to Book Clubs,- Reading Societies, and Literary Secieties, shall in uo case ex ceed 15 per cent. "That it shall be equally an infringement of these regulations for any Bookseller to supply another Bookseller who is known to sell at reduced prices. " That these rules and regulations shall come into operation from and after the Ist day of Jan. 1830. [" I thought they were Law' Publishers' Law—when I sent you the former outline ; but it will be perceived that they begin with the com mencement of the year.] " That the names of Booksellers acceding to these resolutions shall be left for signature at Mr. Richardson's, Cornhil!.—[The rules aril regulations are entered in a book, and the signatures follow them; but, as previously stated, no Bookseller is allowed to do more than to read them previously to signing, he must take no copy or memorandum of them.] " That the Committee appointed in Nov. 1829 shall be a permanent Committee, to whom shall be entrusted the power of carrying these resolutions into effect.—[The Committee consist of leading Publishers and great Booksellers; I omit names, because the object is to let the system be known, not to hold up individuals to any particular notice. They may publish themselves, and a verbatim copy of the resolutions if they please.] " That the Committee on a review of these re gulations, are happy to see that they contain no thing but what is equally calculated to promote the respectability of the trade, and to secure mutual confidence.' Then follow the signatures ; upwards of 750 Booksellers are stated to have subscribed to and signed these resolutions. The Booksellers put forth an answer; as yet it has had but limited circulation; it follows :—it may be viewed as THE RETAIL BOOKSELLERS' DEFENCE. a Booksellers,—Certain individuals have been self-elected into a Committee, for the assumed pur pose of protecting the trade from the injurious prac tice of underselling; but with the apparent, if not designed intention of annihilating the Retail Book sellers, sad to eventually engross the whole of the new line to themselves. Who have been the under sellers ? The Wholesale Trade, with a few charac ters raised by their cupidity from obscurity, and to their disgrace introduced to our trade sales. " Had principle induced the late Meeting, the trade generally would have been summoned, the question fairly discussed, and a Committee formed from among themselves, binding the whole without objection in one common cause. Take the reverse; —you are now defied and insulted with threats, that without you comply with resolutions to which you have never been a party, you shall be deprived of the means of your support. "From men intending well, the first resolution should have been—that no wholesale house, under any plea whatever, should sell except to the trade alone any book or books under the full publication price. This would have been justice, and have done them no injury; for being in themselves the manu facturers (or by exchange of property, arid the me dium of trade sales tantamount to it) all the streams must be supplied from the same source, and the retailer having no opposition to contend with in the publisher, would extend his speculations, and in crease his subscriptions to their works. " Let us examine into the effect of taking off the 15 per cent, both to the wholesale and the retail bookseller. One example will suffice for a thousand. Robertson's Wor4, 8 vols. Bvo., sells for 3/. 45.; deducting Os. 6J. i. e. 15 per cent., reduces it to 21. 14s. 6d., from which take off the trade price, 21. BA., and it leaves to the retail dealer a profit of 6s. 6d. " This book costs, paper arid print, 1/. .ss. 4d., adding boarding 3s. makes it 1/. Bs. 4d., which nib stracted from 21. 14s. ed , the price charged to read ing societies, leaves a gross profit to the wholesale house of 1/. 6s. 2il. " Was the wholesale dealer confined to allow the advantages of trade to the retailer only (and their profits would be, as shown in the case of Robertson, 19s. Bd. on an expenditure of U. .ss. 4d.), it would place them in a commanding situation for upholding the respectability of the trade. But these resolu tions come With a bad grace from thoie whose prac tice it has been to deduct 25 per cent. from all comers. ; " Custom has bang authorised an allowance of 25 per cent, to the retail bookseller (on folios, quartos, law books, and most periodicals, the allowance is only 20 per cent„—take off 15, and your gains are five per cent.) a mach less profit than most nianu- faeturets afford, and - barely sufficient, when the • SPIRIT OP Thift PUBLI4I IOTIOALIAT.3. capital employed and the average returns of your trade are considered.

This cember 31. is giving way dreadfully to national antipathies : and thus it is that the Liberals of France, at the expence of common reason and common sense, will show their hatred of England ! But we should think that there may be even more than national antipathy here. Perhaps the mortified self-love of some disappointed candidate may have been allowed to infuse its rancour into the article. The Emperor of Russia, however, having fore gone his right of voting, the choice rested with France and England.; and they may have agreed upon Prince Leopold. Him the French jour nalist calls the pensioner of the English Parlia ment. This we do not wonder at, for all sense of the sacred nature of property has been so destroyed in the heads of Frenchmen, by their plundering revolution, that they think nothing is a man's own which violence can wrest from him. But the truth is, that Prince Leopold is no more a pensioner of England, than ally man is a pensioner of his father-in-law, who, by a contract before marriage, is to have air irrevo cable life-interest in his wife's fortune in case she die first. So large a settlement as 50,0001. a year never ought to have been made upon the Prince ; but, being made, it is his, a nd so much the better for Greece, if he be the person chosen to be her King. The next subject of declamation with the French journalist is the affair of the limits of Greece, which limits he charges us with circumscribing, so as to leave the new kingdom a less extent of territory than it ought to possess. By a wondrous ineoesis tency, therefore, he first accuses us of procuring the election of a Sovereign over whom we have a decided influence, and then of curtailing as much as possible that Sovereign's power to do us any good ! Is this writer, however, aware that the protocol of the 22d of March, assigning the larger extent of territory, which he supposes us to have compressed, says not one word about the independence of Greece, but would leave its in habitants in the same situation as was contem plated by the treaty of the 9th of July preceding, that is, under the sovereignty of the Pot te, and subject to the constant heart-burnings or open conflicts which must follow from tine exaction of a tribute, and the enforcement of vassalage to the feudal lord? And how does be know but that the complete independence of whatever ter ritory shall be ultimately assigned to Greece, may be the result of the late conference, and consti tute an article in the forthcoming arrangement ? And should such prove to be the case, surely the loss of a contested portion of frontier terri tory, containing subjects in a dangerous position and of doubtful faith, is more than compensated by the consolidated 'union of the rest in a state of perfect independence. Without possessing, therefore, any authentic intelligence of the elec tion of Prince Leopold to the throne of Greece, we have still thought it necessary to give our opinion upon those points which might seem to oppose his elevation, or might sub sequently impair his character as an inde pendent sovereign. We have corrected the partial errors, and reproved the unprovoked wrath, of the French journalist; and we acknow. ledge that we have been the more anxious to do this, because we are inclined to think that some thing of the kind which he has stated has taken place, both from the perusal of the French papers generally, and especially from the ac counts in the ministerial organ, the Gazette de France, which, we observe, are uncontradicted in any quarter.—Titnes. The Gazette de France of Wednesday last has a most pathetic appeal to the Sovereigns of Europe on the subject of the danger to which they are exposed from the circulation of liberal Journals. "If (says that loyal Journal) foreign Governments conceived themselves secure from the attacks of Liberalism, they would allow a free circulation to the Journals of that party ; Portugal, Piedmont, Austria, Poland, would not proscribe them—Russia would not suppress a great number of them. To be convinced of the efficacy of these precautions, IV e have only to observe the difference which exists between the public spirit of the countries into which libe ral Journals penetrate, and that of the Staten into which they 'are not admitted.

THE CHASE. We are much gratified to bear that the old-established pack of stag-hounds (known as the Derby hounds), which have hunted Surrey and Kent for more than fifty years, free of every expense to the public, are to be continued by subscription ; and we sincerely hope and trust a liberal public, particularly those who hare enjoyed so many good days' sport with them, will assist as much ad is in their power. It has been clearly proved that these hounds have caused the sum of thirty thousand pounds to be spent in the two counties. The hounds will begin hunting as soon as the weather permits.—Sporting Magazine. THE CUMBERLAND HOUNDS. A numerous field met at Broyton Hall, at eleven, owing to the frosty appearance of the day ; and as soon as at Sol had taken to himself the rime, the hounds were thrown into covert. One challenge, soon backed and warranted good by old Latimer—then a grand crash—and away went puggy, and away went the pack pointing west. After the first ten minutes, or the "struggle for a start," the field soon became select, many gentlemen at the wrong end ; some not quite disengaged from their minds and their hacks, and some preferring the road to the black-looking yawners, and the post and railers; some followed the line ; some got in and some got over. The old story of " what's on the other side, my Lord?" and " I am, thank God !" was often verified. But there was no stopping to pick up hats or catch horses, though ropes and spades had to do their duty. After three miles there was a short check, owing to the fox-hounds crossing the running of a pack of the pussy dogs, and the varmint turning south ; but all was soon made snug, and a little breathing allowed for a fresh start. He crossed the Ellen, and went smack for Tallentire Earths, but from which he was pressed by the gallantry of the hounds. He then crossed Tallentire Hill and the open (the Leicestershire of Cumberland) at a slapping pace, the pack with a brilliant head, and not a hound wanting or tailing—heads up an 1 sterns down—to the admiration of all those who had time to look or were able to see. " This is a regular Leicestershire," said or:e. " Aye, this is no day for the Siame, e youths," said another. " Go it like blazes," and " my kingdom for a horse," were the cries. Away they went for Isell coverts, where reynard borrowed a friend for a few minutes; but the hounds were soon brought back to the " ould fox," and, after twice swimming the Derwe nt, he was run to ground, and his life spared for his gallantry A sharper or better run was never seen in Cuntberland ; and one or two old fox-hunters declared, " nor any where else," and that it was as good a thing as ever was seen anywhere. The dis tance was computed from seventeen to twenty miles, and the time one hour and thirty-six minutes. Notwith - standing an overhanging frost, the scent was burning, and, of course, the pace tremendous, with the first part of the country extremely difficult. Where all ride as well as they can, to mention names is superfluous; it is sufficient to say, the day required the 'best of horses, the best of men, and the best condition. These hounds are now a good steady pack ; and if our present worthy master is really obliged to give them up, we trust some gentleman of the hunt will speedily declare his intention of continuing a pack that has been the cause of fine spot t, and much hos pitality and unanimity.—Sporting Magazine.
