LITERARY NOTICE.

The commencement. of a new year never
fails to give birth to a variety. of literary spe-
culations ; among those produced by the pre.
sent is anew Spaniih Magittine, the object and
execution: of
~which demand our unqualified
approbation. It is designed to promote the in-
tercouse, as wellintellectual as commercial, be-
tween ibis country and the late Spanish ColOnies
in particular, though the care which has been
taken to abstain from every topic calculated to
excite political irritation renders it equally
adapted for circulation in Old Spain. Now, that
recent circumstances seem to strengthen the pro-
bability of a more intimate connection between
that country and the British empire, the appear-
ance of such a publication is peculiarly seasonable.
According to,the original intention of the Pub-
lisher, Mr. ACKERMANN, this Miscellany, intituled
.Variedades o illenzagero de Londres, is to appear
quarterly; but from an advertisement prefixed
to this first number, we perceive,' that he has
prudentlY resolved not to proceed with a second
till he knows what encouragement the plan is
likely'to. receive from abroad. It therefOre.
behaVeS all who feel an interest in its continua-
tion r and we
.presume that all our comiuer
Oat houses trading with Spanish America
must 'he . more or less interested in it—to
come forward and to assist in supporting and '
giving permanence to the work. The 'plan or,'
the proprietor has been ably seconded by the
editor, who, if we are not mistaken, has lately
demonstrated his familiarity with our language
by thenaMe of Don LEUCADIO DOBLADO, in his'
animated Letters on Spain. if farther proof of
this were wanting, he has furnished it in the
numbern'before us; in the translations not only
from works belonging to our current literature,
but from SHAKSPEARE himself.

LIVERPOOL REPRESENTATION.

( From the Liverpool Advertiser, Feb. 1.)

Meetings were held yesterday in the large
room of the .King's Arms Inn : the one of Mr. CANNING'S
friends at twelve ; the other of the freemen and other friends of
Mr. fluiltisson,-at one. We were unavoidably prevented from
attending the former. Wegot into the room, which we found
crowded a quarter before one, when we. found John Gladstone,
Esq. on his legs, concluding an eulogium on Mr. Canning, in-
troduetory to two. Resolutions which he proposed:to' the -Meet-
ing, expressive of their regret at the termination of their public
connection with him (Mr. Canning), and of every sentiment of
warm respect for his ,talents, antfcharacter, and conduct.
JOHN 130.T0N, Escp.was in the Chair. The ilesolutions
were, unanimously, passed. Soon after one,
- Sir Was. BARTON rose to move the Resolutions, expressing
the sentiments of the freemen that Mr. Huskisson was a proper
person to represent them in Parliament, their desire that he
plight be, invmdto allow himself to be put in nomination, and
embodying the letter of invitation.
'Mr.' GLADSTONE rose to second the motion. It cannot fail,
he said, to be matter of high gratification to us, that in present-
ing the invitation embodied in these Resolutions, we are not
soliciting a new and untried person. Mr. Huskisson has been
long known in Parliament and to the country, and has beenre-
cognised as a man of distinguished talent and integrity, and
einmerktly well-inforined on subjects of finance., commerce, ma-
nufactures, and every other department of public- business--a
knoWledge most desirable andamportant in the Representative
of this great commercial town. 31r. Huskisson has held d high
place in the councils of his Sovereign, for which he has not been
indebted to accident or to any of that influence which sometimes
is the agen tin placing men In responsible and high stations, but
-solely to those qUalities inherent in himself which I have just
commended to his. talents, his integrity, and. his knowledge of
business. If the acquisition of any man for our representative
•could malt° us fool, less sensibly the:loss which we have suf-
fered in Mr. Canning'it resignation, that man is Mr. Huskis-
son. We cannot be insenstble that Mr. Huskisson will make a
considerable sacrifice in allowing himself to be put in Doming.
lion as successor to Mr. Canning. Mr. Huskisson represents
the borough of Chichester, an open borough like this, to which
lie has been chosen solely on account of his talents and charac-
ter. •He cannot but feel considerably at breaking a connec-
tion so.honourable to himself, during the continuance of
which lie has back treated with the wannest respect, and re-
garded
with the highest affection. I have confidence, howe.
ver, that Mr. Huskisson will not hesitate, when he receives
your warm and unanimous invitation. He will not be insen-
sible to the call.uf public duty ; nor can he fail to be moved by
the honour ,of succeeding Mr. Canning in representing this
great, loyal, and enlightened town. Mr. Gladstone then read
the resolutions seriatim, which were unanimously passed.
then said that the election would take place on Wednesday,
week, the 12th instant. On the Monday previous, he hoped
Mr. Huskisson, Ulm should consent to allow himself to be put
in nomination, would visit them. It was usual for the freemen
to pay to their representative the eemplitnent of meeting him
on his approach.on.stieli oecaions. He hoped they would at-
tend for this purpose -at how-hill, on Monday ; the probable
hour would.notlail to be intimated by some means. Mr. Glad.
stone'also assured the freemen, that the customary ceremonies
of happy and merry memory, the potations and libations dale,
should be as amply attended to as usual, and concluded with
moving that a stibscription be opened on the spot, for defraying
the legal expences of the election.
The Meeting concluded with three cheers for Mr. Huskisson,
as ninny as had a right and who chose, remaining to sign the
letter of invitation.

A private letter of the same date says :—" The requisi.
tion has been signed in this short space of time, by upwards of
3000 persons, amongst whom are some of the most respectable
merchants and inhabitants of this town."
