ENGLISHMAN'S MAGAZINE.

This is the first number of a new Magazine, and
is not devoid of promise. The only fault we find
with it is its heaviness, and the very elaborate style
in which the majority of its articles are penned.
This is unfortunate for a first number, for if editors
do not, like the rest of the world, take care of num-
ber one, we do not know what number they will take
care of.
London, England, 1831-04-01

BLACK W 0 OD' S MAGAZINE.

A good number, but by no means of superlative
excellence. The " Nectes" contain one capital
passage, descriptive of a battle among the cats at
midnight, where the belligerents mustered in consi-
derable force on both sides. The graphic force of
this description, though partaking strongly of the
burlesque, is really surprising. Of the political
diatribes we cannot say much. They are vigorous
as usual, and marked by a spirit of even plus ul-
traism, but inconsistent, rambling, and undiscrimi-
nating in their acerbity. The continuation of
" Memoirs: of Sir Frizzle Pumpkin" contains much
truth of observation, mixed up with no slight por-
tion of exaggeration. The remaining articles are of
the average order of merit.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

The " Notes on Warsaw" are the most interest-
ing features in the April number of this periodical,
and to these accordingly we would chiefly direct our

readers' attention.

THE CASKET.

A miscellaneous weekly periodical, brought out
on the principle, and at the same price, as the
" Mirror," of which it will be found no unworthy

rival.

HARMONICOI.V.

A clever and pleasantly varied musical melange,
appropriately introduced by a brief memoir of the
late well-known Sir John Hawkins.

WORLD OF FASHION-GENTLEMAN'S
MAGAZINE OF FASHION.

Two very appropriate records of all the fashions
and frivolities of the day.

LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE.

The embellishment for the current month of this
repertGry of fashion and the light branches of litera-
ture, consists of a well-executed engraving of Lady
Cumming Gordon. In the literary department, the
tale entitled " La Piazzetta di San Marco" will be
found entertaining.

MONTIJL Y MA GAZINE.

The article on " Parliamentary Reform," which
heads the present number, is full of vigour and
spirit, hut prejudiced and inconsistent in its argu-
ment. The writer advocates Reform, but not the
ministerial measure ; that is to say, he knows not
what he wants or what he advocates. " Aphorisms
on Man" are characterised by all the metaphysical
acuteness, tinged with no slight portion of the
perverse, clouded melancholy of the late Wm.
Hazlitt. " The Wife of the Polish Patriot" is an
ably wrought up tale, and happily adapted to the
taste of the day. " Confessions of a Coward," is a
sprightly good-humoured essay—though we are
sick to death of the common-place word " confes-
sion," which we apprehend will tell to the author's
disadvantage. " Perplexities of a Book-worm" is
neither very brilliant nor very dull ; it is a respec-
table mean between the two extremes. " The Ta-
bernacle; or, Sunday in Lotman," is an admirable
bit of satire. We subjoin a sample, with which we
must conclude our notice of this pungent arid racy
periodical :

" Come, yc mopes, and drones, and droopers:
Listen to me in your stupors ;
Conic, ye gaunt and grim old maids
Long since fitted for the shades ;
Hear me, from your darkest den,
All ye old, unmarried' men :
All ye tribes of wretches, come—
Denizens of sin and gloom !
Give me a responsive throe,
While I sing your song of woe:
" Morn is up—pale, chill, and murky—
Looking well inclined to Burke ye;
Through the fetid fog the bell
Rings as with your funeral knell;
Heaven is cloud, and Earth is mud,
Promising a London flood.
lust as strikes the last half-hour,
Down comes, thick and thin, the shower
On ye put your Sunday satins ;
Hurrying to your doctor's matins ;
Slippery every stone as glass,
(Lately, too, broke up for gas!)—
All the brats of shops and schools,
All the' mighty serious' fools,
All the 'prentice-gentlemen,
Promenading throug.) the fen—
Till subsides the general cackle
At the pious Tabernacle :
" There you find no Doctor Prosy,
As an apple round and rosy ;
Happy proof that all the dinners
Are not left among the sinners;
Happy proof that beef may line
Cheeks and ribs the most divine;
Happy proof that port may paint
Even the most world hating saint
There you find—wild, gaunt, and grim—
,Fierce of face, and lank of limb,
With that mystic sweep of eye,
Fixed at once on earth and sky ;
Now a comet's fiery glare
Blazing from his matted hair;
Now a melancholy moon,
Melting to some wizard tune ;
Whiskered like a bold hussar,
Stands our man of holy war."

EVENING DRESS.

A gown of rose-coloured gros de Varna, the corsage half-high,
and sitting close to the shape, is trimmed with rouleaux of swans-
down arranged en brais at regular distances. Short sleeve form-
ing a single bouffant, and trimmed to con espond. The skirt is
bordered above the hem by three rouleaux placed rather further
asunder than those on the body and sleeves. The hair is dressed
low, and in full curls at the sides,' and in a single round bow on
the crown of the head. A bouquet of wild flowers surmounts the
bow. Necklace and earrings pearls.

NE W MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

" A Letter to Dr. Southey" contains an analysis
of a remarkably spirited and even original poem,
which has been lately published at Sheffield by a
poor, uneducated mechanic; under the somewhat
proiniirig title of " Corn Law Rhymes." It is
long since we have read holder and more truly poetic
thoughts than are contained in some of these extracts.
" Conversations with an Ambitious Student" have
much merit ; but are rather too maudlin in the cha-
racter of their reflection. The biographical sketch of
Mr. Jeffrey is passable, but tells us nothing that we
did not know before. It is late in the day to criticise
the early writings of Mr. Jeffrey, in file Edinburgh
Review. The " Adventures of a Revolution" is an

COLCHESTER ELECTION.

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.)

The election for this borough promises to last much
longer than had beets suppossd. Sir William Curtis, who
was put in nomination by Sir Henry Smyth, one of the
former representatives, comes forward with a long and
well filled puree, and the whole weight of the Corpora-
tion
influence. Judging from his address, and looking
to the principles of the party with which he is identified,
there can be no doubt that he will vote against the Reform
Bill, if he he returned. The Hon. Baronet has not vet
made his appearance in the town, but his supporters de-
clare it is his intention to koep the poll open to the last
hour allowed by law. The other candidate, Mr. May-
hew has given a similar pledge, and having declared in
favour of Reform, with a slight objection to the clause
affecting the out-voters franchise, he has secured the sup-
port of the great majority of Mr. D. W. Harvey's friends,
which leaves very little doubt of his return, though by de-
termined opposition it may he made a very expensive seat.

LITERATURE.

NATIONAL LIBRARY, No:. 7,8, AND 9.

BOURRIENNE'S LIFE OF NAIPOLEON.

Notwithstanding the attempts of certain
writers to impugn the veracity of Bourrienne,
his Life of Napoleon is generally admitted to
convey the most correct and impartial estimate of
the Ex-Emperor yet afforded to the public.
The work has indeed attained such celebrity,
that almost every language in Europe can boast
of more than one translation. We are not sur-
prised that such a value should have been at-
tached to the narrative of Bourrienne, for he
pictures to us the Ex-Emperor as he really was;
he is not held up to us as a demi-god or a mon-
ster, according to the views of political parties—
but we see the living man before us.

The present cheap and elegant edition con-
tains no less than seventeen spirited embellish-
ments, representing some of the principal battles
described in the work, and including striking
likenesses of the Ex-Emperor and of the two
Empresses, &c. Another grand feature consists
in the confirmation of Bourrienne's statements
by persons who took part i❑ the scenes de-
scribed—such as the Duke of Rovigo, Count
Las Cases, General Rapp, and others, who, from
the high and official situations which they held,
must necessarily be eminently qualified to set at
rest any doubtful or disputed points in the career
of the great original. Add to this numerous
notes from the dictations of Bonaparte him-
self, while at St. Helena, confer a peculiar value
-on the present edition.
Enough has been said, we think, to show that
this work, which has been pronounced, " a his-
tory of the most extraordinary man and the most
extraordinary times that ever invited elucidation,
and which must continue to the latest ages a re-
cord of invaluable interest," presenting such
claims to popularity as we have already speci-
fied, can scarcely fail to command it. It forms,
certainly the cheapest and most complete Life of
Napoleon extant. We must not omit to add
that an Index, containing the names of every
person, place, and remarkable event recorded in
the volumes, confers additional value on this
very popular biography.

The Duke of CUMBERLAND dined with the noblemen
and gentlemen's Catch Club yesterday evening at the
Marled house Tavern.

The Duchess of CUMBERLAND took an airing yesterdai,
attended by Miss COOPER, in a carriage and four_ with
outriders, in the Regent's Park and the neighbourhood of
Hampitead.

viction that by such change: his conditiop
must be bettered, because it cannot possibly be
made worse.

For this reason, if for DO other, he will sup.
port the Reformers. For this reason he will join
heart and hand in extirpating the odious race of
boroughniongers; and when that is effected, in
continuing his support to that band of patriots
by whom the glorious task was consummated.
If he do not so, he well knows that Swing will
return " with seven others more wicked than
himself." Experience, therefore, which has
made him wise, will keep him consistent.

The great BEAUFORT influence is on the
wane. Not even the mighty Duke himself, nor
the heir of his consummate public talents, the
statesmanlike and all-accomplished WoR-
CESTER, will be able longer to keep up
the unconstitutional power of the Ducal house.
Even in Newport, where its influence has hitherto
been all but omnipotent, a formi'lable opposi-
tion is mustering. The Marquis of WORCESTER
is on the eve of receiving a pretty strong hint
that his constituents will in future be happy
to relieve him from the anxieties of public
life, and dispense with his further services in
Parliament. This is considerate, and even kind
on their part, and Will doubtless be duly ap-
preciated in the proper quarter. The Noble
Marquis voted against Reform, and his con.:
stituents judge rightly in thinking that this
is a sample • of mental imbecility, which
proves that the inheritor thereof is wholly un-
equal to the fatigues of public life. In another
column will be found the spirited resolutions of
the inhabitants of Newport on this subject.

THE FUNDS.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 78.1 If- for the ac.
count, opened at 78i but on the report of an express
from Paris, with an idea, in the Stock Exchange, that the
Rentes came higher, Consols improved to 781 a ; at present
they are 781 buyers.
There are different opinions amongst our city politicians
in regard to the revenue. By some it is looked upon as
unfavourable, and by others on the contrary, as it is
exprcted that Ministers will now require assistance.
In the Foreign market there is little doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ONE.

Nothing is suffered to transpire as yet in regaid to the
express from Paris ; all that we know is, that the French
Rentes come I -Lt per cent. higher. Hid the political in-
formation brought by it been of any importance, and fa-
vourable, it would soon have been made public.

The Dutch steamer has just arrived ; but the papers
and letters are not as yet delivered.
We have made some inquiry in reprd to the Prussian
loan, and it is said it will not be io the atent which we
first stated.

The Consol market is not so good as in the early part of
the morning, when they were done at 781 since which
they have receded to 781 and the same for money.
There being now a supply of money stock in the market,
the decline is gone off.

in Foreign Funds little doing, as the chief attention of
:he speculators is directed towards the British market.

The complainant did not know how to look all
this time. There was no possibility of stopping the
woman's el(luence, and after she had belaboured
him fOr twenty minutes with threats and solic:ta-
dons, and promises, the Alderman told her that she
must procure bail if the complainant persevered.
The complainant, at last,_ said that he should
once more try her. He should pay her the full
amount of the bond, and supply her with money to
go into the country.

The whole scene wa a most extraordinary one,
and we were told that there were two or three
elderly gentlemen present who were in nearly
circumstances, with respect to the connections
they had formed in their seasons of weakness.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O' CL CK.
We have no arrivals this morning either of foreign mails.
or ship letters, but the Dutch steamer is expected ; -and
according to calculation it will not bring later ;recounts
than those previously received from Hamburg. We hear
of the arrival of an express from Paris, the contents of
which have not as yet transpired.
It is stated that a Prussian loan is on the lapis of ten
millions sterling ; and the old Prussian loan, of which
there is about four millions in hand, is to be included in
the above loan, which will make the new one ab tut seven
millions sterling. The new foreign loans which are now
about to be contracted for, will, no doubt, be severely felt
in this country, by causing the money going out of the
country; and we hear that large shipments of this precious
metal are in preparation to be sent to Hamburg.
Accounts from Brussels state that some commotions
took place at Malinga. A numerous assembla4e of persons
went to the house of the Government Commissary, de-
manding from him an order for the release of all persons
in prison detained when the Dutch retreated. He was
obliged to comply with their request, and the prisoners
were set at liberty, after which the mob dispersed.
LIVERPOOL, Aram 4. —There has been a considerable
improvement in the demand of plantation sugar, upwards
of 800 imhds. have been sold at full prices. We have had
a good demand for cotton throughout the week, particularly
tqwards the close, and time pt i• es of Bowed, (Means, and
Mobile, have advanced in some instances a farthing per
pond.
It appears that an Evening Journal of last night made
a great blunder, in its usual sagacity, by stating that the
revenue of the quarter would not be one-third of eight
hundred thousand pounds.

G UILDIIALL,

A well-dressed elderly personage, with swollen
and blood-streaked eyes, who give the name of
.Tohn Read, was brought before Mr. Alderman
moßp yeiterday, charged with assaulting David
Davis, a watchman employed within tha gate of
St. Partholomew's Hospital opening towards Little
Britain.

Thomas Iliompson, a watchman of Alderagate
Ward, said that as he was on duly in Litt!e Britain,
betwedn three and four o'clock that morning, he
heard a noise as of three or four persons quar►elling,
and fighting, and turning towards the place from
which the sound came,- he perceive ! the prisone►
beating a feeble old man who keeps the gate of the
hospital. A " terrible tupelo►," it was, and he
called
.out to the prisoner, " An't ye ashamed to
strike an ol&Man?" but he hit away, and witness
fully expected 'something serious would happen.—

Want of space will not permit us even to
name one half of the towns and villages which have been
illuminated, and demonstrated their loyalty and joy, on
the success of the Reform Bill. The exemplary conduct
of the inhabitants of Paisley, a town that has been de-
scribed as " the great focus of radicalism," the " hot-bed
of sedition," deserves especial notice. When marching
through the town, with two bands of music at their head,
they came to two unilluminated houses,occupied by respect-
able men, anti-reformers, instead of breaking the windows,
they gave three heat ty cheers, and marched on in their
career of joy. It has, indeed, been a perfect jubilee in
the west of Scotland. Port Glasgow, Stewarton, Greenock,
Ayr, Kilinarnock, and all the villages without a single ex-
ception, have been illuminated. There has been an ex-
ception in the north--there has been no illumination in
Aberdeen, the inhabitants having resolved to wait till the
final triumph of the Bill, but there is to be a splendid
Public dinner in honour of its success in that city on Mon-
day. Falkirk was list night brilliantly illuminated : bon-
fires blazed on the streets, and universal joy prevailed.--

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
sia,_You are of course aware that Earl Grey anti
his party Lad fir tr swards of twenty years .been vilified
and traduced with the most active and persevering nia-
ignity, not only by the enttmies of freedom and the satel-
lites of corruption, hut by the radical demagogues of the
day, as having deserted the cause of the people,' because,
forsooth, they could not accomplish impossibilities during
the brief period that. they formerly were in power.—
What a noble object is it then to coutemp'ate, and how
proud the triumph, when we behold his Lordship and his
illustrious associates, with the most devoted sacrifice of
pecuniary interests and all selfish principles, coming vo-
luntarily forward to bestow the greatest political benefit
that was ever conf.rred upon this country. The acts of
ill former Administrations sink into utter insignificance
when compared with this.
I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,
AN OLD FRIEND OF REFORM;
And grateful admirer of Mr. Fox's exertions

in the cause of Liberty.
