AGENERAL BIOGRAPHICAL DIC-
TIONARY. By JOHN GORTON.

" This Dictionary is peculiarly valuable as a work of re-
ference for the general reader, on account of information
respecting prominent characters that have figured on the
stage of life, being more its object than an alphabetical list
of individuals of various note and merit ; and upon this
ground particularly it has a claim to distinguished notice.
Impartiality is another recommendation, and, as far as
we have observed, this spirit is very creditably maintained
throughout."—New Monthly Magazine.
" It is small praise to say this Dictionary supersedes all
the prior compilations of the kind ; but we have consulted
a multitude of articles, and have been surprised at tke ac-
curacy, versatility, and intelligence, which they exhibit.
We must not omit to remark an important recommenda-
tion in a bulky book of reference—its cheapness. Though
far more copious, and carried dow❑ to a much later pe-
riod, we believe the work does not exceed the price of the
imperfect repertories of biographers. "-Atlas.
" Among the cheap and useful publications now issuing
from the press, we have scarcely seen one which unites
so many excellencies as this Biographical Dictionary. It
exhibits a fine specimen of typography, and has a merit
which belongs to very few low-priced works."—Scotsman.
" Mr. Gorton's publication is altogether one of great
excellence, calculated to be useful to a large number of
students, and deserving extensive popularity."—Athenreum.
" This work displays throughout traces of research
and industry, and contains as ♦aluable a body of biogra-
phical information as any that we have in the language.'

" The Narrative of the War in Germany and
France, from the pen of Lord LONDONDERRY, so long
announced, is nearly ready for publication. This second
Work of the noble author, we understand, is likely to be
as much relished by fashionable as by mere professional
readers, from the variety of Court Anecdotes and amusing
topics which relieve the dryness of military detail, and fill
up the intervals of armistice and negotiations, with
splendid reviews, festivals, and balls. Much curious and
important information as to the real characters and designs
of the royal and noble personages who played a part upon
the scene, will be, it is said, for the first time afforded us ;
such indeed as cannot fail to prove as agreeab'e to general
readers as to his Lordship's companions in arms, to whom
he has professionally addressed his work."— Court Journal.

Coventry continues in a wretched state—
thousands are literally starving-. The poor-rates are 20s,
in the pound ; and the payments for casual out-door pau•
pers are about- six times greater than they Were in 1827.

OPENING OF THE BRADFORD EXCHANGE
BUILDINGS.—On Wednesday last, a public dinner was
given on the occasion of the opening of the Bradford Ex-
change Buildings lately erected in that town, at which Dr.
OUTIIWA ITE presided, and which was attended by from
80 to 90 of the principal gentlemen of the town and
neighbourhood.—Leeds Mercury.

A singular case occurred, a few days since, in
the Insolvent Court, of the discharge of a publican being
opposed by his brewer, on the ground of the former
having made over all his property to one creditor to the
exclusion of the rest; that being notoriously the way in
which brewers generally pay themselves.

A correspondent at Rennes, in Brittany,
writes that the weather there is colder than within the
memory of inask ; sentinels are frozen at their posts ;
washing by the sides of rivers and streams, the custom of
the country, has ceased, and scores of washer-women have
fallen a sacrifice to the cold, their limbs being frost-bitten,
and mortification in many cases ensuing; that the dogs
not being able to get water, many of them have gone mad
and bitten several people. The authorities have caused
poisoned food to be thrown about the town, to destroy
the dogs, and with much success, for 165 were collected
in one morning by the police, and buried in a pit.—P/3/-
mouth Journal.

MURDER.—This county (Gloucester) has
been the scene of a most diabolical murder. On the
morning of Suiday last an industrious labouring man,
named WILLIAM WICXII, who resided alone at Bismore,
in the parish of Bisley, was discovered to have been most
inhumanly butchered in his own dwelling. A woman who
washed for him, on entering his house, found the body
most horribly disfigured by several mortal blows about the
head and face from a hatchet, and the murderous instru-
ment lying by his side. His supper by untouched en the
table, and the house had been completely ransacked fur
plunder. The poor fellow was reported to have some
money in his possession. Four persons are in custody on
suspicion, awaiting the Coroner's inquest. Gloucater
