FINE ARTS.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE SACRED
ANNUALS. LONDON, itS3:l.

These Illustrations, are brought out in vecl
splendid style; each indiYidual picturp
highly-coloured from designs—by far the tAi"
part of them—supplied by Haydon, with es'
planatory poetic notices prefixed, each of which
is printed in a fanciful yellow type, and eV'
rounded by a laurel wreath—Apollo's Delphic
crown, we suppose, being alone considered
worthy to encircle such rare gems of poesy'
Those among the putthasers of Annuals wild
are fond of show and glitter, will not fail to 101
this, for it will dazzle them to their hearCs
content. In the cover only, there is nearly 51
much gold as would furnish an epaulette for 811
officer of the Guards.

MY SKETCH- B OK. No. 3.
Another of George Cruickshank's periodical
issues of fun. The Fox and the Goose is so
inimitable quiz, both in design and eiecutidni an
the medicines supplied by the College of Health
in the New-road. A sly, shrewd fox, with his,
tail peeping out under a coat of the very newest
cut, is acting as auctioneer, and knocking down
his infallible elixirs to a flock of geese who are
crowding about him, each apparently anxious to
become a purchaser. The Montpelier Rotunda
has one or two caustic hits at the grim, olci
Anglo-Indian frequenters of that fashionable
place of resort. St. &oil hin's Chapel shows
us a congregation of umbrellaed fanatics listen.
ing to the ravings of a Professor of the Un'
known Tongue, who is also holding forth under
an umbrella.

COSTUMES ON THE WESTERN COASI4

OF AFRICA. LONDON, 1833.
An agreeable, unassuming little work, con•
taining six coloured engravings of the various
costumes worn by the Indigetes on the western
shores of Africa. Some of these costumes are
picturesque enough ; we speak, however, only of
the male ones, for the female are barbarous and
unsightly to a degree. The different literary
explanations prefixed to each engraving, arc just
what they should be, brief and pertinent.

LITERATURE.

A GUIDE TO FAMILY DEVOTIONS.-

LONDON, 1833.—VIRTUE, IVY-LANE.
The Rev. A. Fletcher is the author of this
work, which contains, among much other value
able matter, a hymn, a portion of Scripture, with
suitable reflections, and a prayer, for every day
in the year. It is published in parts, at a price
adapted to the pockets of even the poorest classes
of readers, and is embellished with a variety of
appropriate illustrations, selected from the works
of some of the most celebrated artists. As the
book is characterised by a bland and benevolent
spirit of piety, unalloyed by the slightest tinc-
ture of gloomy, sectarian bigotry, we recommend
it with pleasure to the notice of our readers.

PENRITH, DEC. 18.—Mr. James Brougham,
M.P. for Kendal, is at present dangerously ill. his said
that Dr. Holland arrived at Brougham H4ll yesterday, and
started again for London this morning. Mr. Blamire,
M.P. for East Cumberland, visited Mr. Brougham this
day, and the Lord Chancellor is expected shortly. Very
slight expectations are entertained of Mr. Brougham's
recovery.

THE ELOPEMENT.---The young parties who
went off three or four weeks ago to tie the marriage knot
at a relation's of the gentleman in Scotland (and whose
union we saw advertised lately in one of the Scotch
pipers) returned to this neighbourhood, after their trip, on
Friday evening last. We presume the family of the bride
will receive them graciously, when all matters are properly
explained (that is, if any explanation at all be required in
this instance) for the husband is of respectable connections,
and bears, so far as we have ever heard, an irreproachable
character.—Oxford Journal.

By the Gazette of the 13th instant, it ap-
pears that the Tables for enabling persons to purchase
Government Annuities, through the medium of Savings'
Banks and Parochial Societies, are prepared; since then,
we understand that they have been forwarded to every
Savings' Bank in the kingdom ; and any parties desirous
of forming a Parochial Society, for the purpose of carrying
the provisions of the statute 3 William IV., c. 14, into
effect, may be supplied with the tables, &c., and proper
instruction, on application at the National Debt. office.

The French Papers of Wednesday state that
Don Carlos entered Spain on the 29th ult., with a force
of 300 men, taking the direction of °reuse, but that the
arrival of Morillo, with an overwhelming force, compelled
him to throw himself once more into Portugal. A Mi-
guelite corps of 1,000 infantry and 100 cavalry covered
his retreat. The reported violation of the Portuguese
territory, mentioned in a late number of our paper, was,
we find, correct. Generals Morillo and Rodil respectively
crossed the Portuguese frontier in pursuit of Don Carlos,
who, if arrested, would (a la le Due d'Enghien) have,
been shot. Cuevillae, Villalobos, and other Carlist Chiefs,
had been defeated at Valderas by Colonel }Joyous. Gene.
ral Martinez de San Martin has been appointed Captain
General of Valencia. General Vander was marching
against the insurgents concentrated at Marella, who appear
to be in considerable force. Ikl. tea was still in office on
the 9th inst., but his remaining so for many days was
deemed impossible. The Duc de San Fernando had

as having become another Vendee. Carlist guerillas
occupy nearly the whole country. German Papers to the -
14th bring the Speech of the King of Wirtemberg on
closing the session of the States. It contains nothing
very remarkable, except the statement that the negotiations
