HAY AND CORN HARVEST—RICK CLOTHS, MAR-
QUEES, TENTS, FLAGS, &c. &c.
BENJAMIN EDGINGTON,
2, DUKE-STREET, SOUTHWARK, begs to in-
form the Nobility, Gentry, and Agriculturists in general, that
he has a large stock of Rick Cloths, of vari•us sizes, both new
and second-hand, the latter in excellent condition, having been
only used at the Oxford Agricultural Meeting in July last
'The Canvass was made specially for the occasion, is of the best
quality, and admirably adapted for Rick Cloths.

MAGAZINES-CONTINUED.

THE CHRISTIAN REFORMER.
Sherwood and Co.
" Sketches by Dr. Bowring of the Mahomedan and
other Oriental Religions," will be read with much in-
terest by all who wish to know the present state of the
Jews—to whom the article refers—ia Syria. " Notes
on Passages of Scripture" are as usual marked by that
good sense which is the foundation of all sound criti-
ci3m. The " Address delivered by the Rev. Hugh
Hutton on laying the foundation stone of the third
Unitarian Chapel, and Sunday Schools, Birmingham,"
breathes a refreshing spirit of sober and rational piety.
Asa specimen of the views which the Birmingham
Unitarians entertain on the subject of education, we se-
lect the following passage, which may perhaps surprise
some of those who hear their pastors, from the pulpit,
deny to that persecuted, but, it seems, flourishing sect,
the name of Christians. " You have considerately and
benevolently resolved to devote a portion of your time,
your substance, and your labours, to the education of
the children of the poor. May the work prosper in
your hands! But let your views of education, and
your exertions for its advancement, extend far beyond
the narrow limit which would confine its advantages to
the mere preparation of the children of poverty to per-
form the tasks, and to bear up against the priva-
tions and hardships of their worldly condi-
tion. Remember that they are intellectual, moral,
accountable, immortal beings, as well as your-
selves. Let your energies, therefore, be directed to the
development and exercise of all the powers and affec-
tions of their spiritual nature ; implant and cultivate the
seeds of the Divine life within them ; see that the image
of God be not effaced from their souls, but that it may
shine out in increasing brightness and power with the
progress of their years ; train them up to walk fearlessly
and steadily in the ways of piety and godliness, as dis-
ciples of Christ and expectants of his promise ; educate
them for Heaven, for eternity, for God." Among the
other articles, many of which are well written, but which
our limited space will not allow us to notice, will be
found the concluding part of the pleadings before the
Lords in the " Hewley case."

THE LONDON AND EDINBURGH PHILO-
SOPHICAL MAGAZINE.
R. and J. E. Taylor, Red Lion-court.
The present Number contains a considerable number
of ably written papers on scientific subjects. Chemistry,
geometry, meteorology, astronomy, and geology, has each
its apppropriate space of discussion, in original articles,
contributed by men distinguished for their attainments
in science. The miscellaneous department will well also
repay perusal.

' article contains several incontrovertible facts, which must
sound harshly in the ears of the trustees of roads and
their unfortunate creditors. With the following re-
marks we cordially agree :—" Let Government grant as
many Bills for railroads as they please, it will be for the
benefit of the public, for numbers will excite competi-
tion, competition induce cheapness, cheapness give sa-
tisfaction." The article on " Kyan's Anti-Dry Rot,"
and the expense for repairing ships of war, sometimes
amounting, in three or four years, to the original cost,
we would recommend to the attention of all those who
are anxious to reduce the public expenditure.

SHROPSHIRE; AND NORTH WALES
STANDARD.
The second Number of this fierce Tory Magazine
bas just reached us. Politics apart, it deserves praise
for the skill and spirit with which the majority of its
articles arc written, as also for their seasonable charac-
ter. " Nimrod"—by far the best Sporting writer of the
day, who shows us in every page that he combines the
elegant attainments of the scholar, with the practical sa-
gacity of the man of the world—contributes a clever
critical notice of Mr. Delme Radcliffe's " Ideas on Pox-
hunting," a work of which he speaks in warm terms of
commendation. Next comes a political diatribe en-
titled " The Birmingham Riots and the Whig Leaders,"
which is so exceedingly truculent in its tore, as to de-
feat the object for which the writer put pen to paper.
The " Trysting Tree" is a poem, full of unaffected feel-
ing, by Miller. On the whole, we think this Magazine
bids fair to keep its head above water, and float tri-
umphantly along the stream of public favour—a:thing by
no means of common occurrence with young Periodicals

LIFE OF WELLINGTON. Part 5.
Colburn, London, 1839.
This Part contains copious and, so far as we can see,
accurate accounts of the Duke of Wellington's cam-
paign in the Peninsula, against the French veteran Mas-
sena—the " Child of Victory," as Napoleon used often
to call him—one of the most glorious periods of his
Grace's military career. The Part is embellished with
a striking half.length portrait of the Marquis of Anglesea.

THE ROMANCIST.
The best tale in this Part, which is the ninth, is the
Barber of Paris," which is carefully and elegantly
ranslated from the French of Paul de Kock.

PICTORIAL SHAKSPEARE. PART X.
C. Knight, London, 1839.
The Part before us contains the play of Hamlet,
illustrated with copious explanatory and critical notes,
a variety of skilful engravings, and a neatly written
introductory notice.

LARDNER'S CYCLOPEDIA. No. CXVL
Longman, London, 1839.
_

We have here the second volume of Mr. Swainson's
History of Fishes, Amphibians, and Reptiles, an in-
teresting subject, which is treated with cleverness, and
scrupulous regard to accuracy of detail.
