LITER.ARIC NOTICE.

ILLUSTRATIONS of the PUBLIC BUILDINGS of
LONDON ; with Historical and Descriptive Accounts of
each Public Edifice. By J. BRITTON, F.S.A., &c. and
A. Peon., Architect.
If this be not the age of improvement in political
wisdom, it may certainly prefer its pretensions to
the honour of improvement in the Fine Arts.
We noticed the first number of this instructive
and elegant work, and we are glad to find that
the second, which has been recently published, is
fully correspondent in merit. It is gratifying to
the friends of Genius and Science to find that
the work is supported' by such a number of sub-
scribers as will animate the ingenious authors to
proceed with the same zeal and ability which mark
what they have already produced. His MAJ EST Y,
who is obviously as anxious to promote the honour
of the Empire as to maintain its grandeur and pros-
perity, is at the head of the subseribers, and is
followed not only by several of our Nobility, but
by many Gentlemen of acknowledged taste, anti
by professional characters of high and merited
repute, among we see the names of SOANE, CHAN.
TREY ABRAHAM BROOKES NASII and many
others of well-known talents. The work, as we
have before stated, consists 'of correct and beauti-
ful outlines of all the distinguished edifices, which
adorn the metropolis, with such descriptive illus-
trations as will enable_ the Readers to obtain
considerable knowledge of architecture, and
imbue them with a due taste for that noble
science, which at once contributes to the habita-
tion of man, and is in the highest degree honour.
able to the human faculties. The present num-
ber consists of outlines of the fronts, sections,
elevritions, &c. &c. of Saint Martin's in the
Fields, of St. Paul's Cathedral, St. Stephen's,
Walbrook, and the King's Theatre, Haymarket.
We shall notice this work as it successively ap-
pears, and shall not presume any farther to offer
our humble praise, as it sufficiently recommends
itself by intrinsic merit. This number also con-
thins a continuation of the description of St.
Paul's, Cathedral, a short notice of Sir Gnats-
TOPHER Wnes, of St. STEPLIEWS, WalbrOOk, by
JOSEPH GU ELT, architect, and of St. Martin's in
the Fields, by the same, and the commencement
of an account of Thu CUSTOM House, by Jon:
BRITTON.

FRIDAY, JULY 18, 189.3.

Parliament, it is decided, will be prorogued

o.morrow.

At length we have direct intelligence from
Corunna, of so late a date as the 13th inst. The
authenticity of the Proclamations attributed to
Moitri.Lo is by this arrival not only confirmed,
but it appears from the letter of Sir RoircaT
'WILSON to General QurneeA, that Alonibuo
continued firm In his resolution not to obey the"'
Constitutional Government, and that " the under-
standing between Gen. Monit,Lo and the invader
opposed' invincible obstacles" to' the endeavours
which Sir ROBERT had been using to' bring
him back to his allegiance. The defection
of this Commander, however, is not so fatal
to the cause of his country as it might have
been. General QUIROGA had placed him-
self at the head of the troops who refused to se- ,
cond the views of Moniuuo, and, besides issuing
an animated proclamation to the citizens, was
I making every exertion for the defence of Co-
runna. Even the French Bulletin, dated Madrid,
July 9th, acknowledges' that the complete
schism which had taken place between Meant.°
and Quince's. had occasioned " very great he-
sitation amongst their troops," The probability,
therefore, is,' that Monnuo, like AIIISTIAL, has
,been wholly abandoned by his troops, who were
