S 4MUEL LAING, Esq , Author of " A Journal of a Residence in
Norway."
" There is not a page of this compact volume which does not sug-
gest thought. . . The main topics Mr. Laing discusses are the
Divisions of Land and systems of large and small farming, the sys-
tem of bureaucracy, the Landwehr and standing armies, and Educa-
tion ; and singular is the interest he throws into these much-debated
topics, by the raciness of his observations told the distinctness of his
views. A book more rich in extractable matter we have not met

BLUNT'S REFORMATION IN ENGLAND.
In a Pocket Volume, neatly printed,
ASKETCH OF THE REFORMATION IN
ENGLAND, by the Rev. J. J. BLUNT, Fellow of St. John's
College, Cambridge. The Twelfth Edition,. Corrected, forming part
of the Family Library.
The Reformation is one of the most remarkable events in our
history, whether considered in relation to politics or religion ; for its
influence was most powerful upon both. The reading, profession,
and taste of the author have led him to regard it in the latter rather
than in the former light: and therefore, brief as the sketch is, it
will rot be found of the nature of an abridgment of larger historic=,
but a continuous though succinct account of its the, progress, and
consummation, chiefly considered as a great revolution of the Church
of England.

rill() THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC. - A
great comfort is now provided in NICOLL'S TOGA
WRAPPER. It is a novel adaptation of the old Railway Rug
(without its horse-cloth appearance), to a double purpose—that is to
say, besides being used as a wrapper for the knees, it can be used as a
cloak for the shoulders.

Thus, by simply drawing in a string, rests are formed for the
shoulders, and the garment assumes the graceful appearance of the
aucient Toga (whence its name).
The price is One Guinea, or with a hood (now in general use for
travelling in France), and bound with braid, it is One Guinea and a
Half.

When the Toga is used as a wrapper for the knees, the hood forms
a most convenient receptacle for papers, &e.
NICOLL'S TOGA WRAPPER is registered 6 and 7 Victoria,
cap. 65, and can be had in London only, of IL J. and D. NICOLL,
MERCHANT CLOTHIERS, PALETOT PATENTEES, and MA-
NUFACTURERS of CLOTH, REGENT-STREET (from 114 to 120
inclusive), and 22, CORNIIILL.
CAUTION.—Many have assumed the use of the word
Palotot," but-Messsrs. Nicoll are the sole patentees of the design
and material (in winter or summer substances) employed in
the manufacture of this inexpensive and gentlemanly article of
costume.

WHAT OF THE WEATHER?

I don't profess to prophesy,
As Moore and Murphy did ;
But certainly my weather eye
Knows how to lift its lid.
'Tis now about a year ago
Since I predicted cold ;
When down came winter's drifting snow,
Just as my Muse foretold.
Another year my fame I'll risk,
As a prophetic bard,
By stating that the sun's dark disc
Bespeaks a winter hard.

Cold winds will blow, and frosts benumb,
Yet fear not winter aught ;
Warm wrappers for a mod'rate sum,
Of MOSES may be bought.
MOSES and SON, for winter wear,
Have all that you require ;
And you for winter should prepare,
By buying this attire.
MOSES and SON'S prime winter dress,
Will ev'ry harm remove,
'However cold and comfortless
The coming month may prove.

hood of being connected with them, or it is the same concern, has

DENTAL SURGERY.—DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.
R. EPHRAIM MOSELY, Surgeon-Dentist,
begs to state, for the information of his Friends and Pa-
tients, that the Partnership lately existing between himself and Mr.
S. Mostly, carried on by them at 61, Grosvenor-street, Grosvencr-
square, London, and 15, Whitefriargate, Hull, was, from the 24th day
of August last, DISSOLVED by MUTUAL CONSENT, and duly
caxetted, and that Mr. Ephraim Mosely will henceforth carry on
his practice ALONE, at his old residence, 61, GROSVENOR-
STREET, GROSVENOR-SQUARE, and trusts for a continuance
of that patronage with which he has hitherto been honoured.
Mr. E. M. continues to supply the loss of Teeth without extract-
ing the stump or causing the least pain, and v‘ hicia so closely re-
semble the natural as to defy detection. They will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any Teeth before used.
They are fixed without ligatures, and render a firm support and
preserve to any Teeth that are loose, and guaranteed to restore arti-
culation and mastication.
Decayed Teeth filled with Mr. E. 31.'s newly-invented Composi-
tion, and every operation on safe and certain principles.

Second Master—Edward APKenzie (1845), to the
Rhadamanthus steam-transport, at Sheerness.
Master's Assistant--Edward Spence, to the Athol
store-ship, fitting at Sheerness.
In the new appointments to the Victory flav-whip,

ham (1805) succeeds Paymaster Wichelo.
Hogue, GO, screw-ship, Captain M'llougall, is re-
ported to he ready for sea, at Portsmouth, by the 7th
instant. It is most strange that this ship cannot fill
up her 30 vacancies of blue jackets. Reports of de-
fection on the part of the crew may have something
to do with it.

Phaeton, 50, Captain Elliott, will be ready to leave
Portsmouth to rejoin Commodore Martin's squadron

Inconstant, 36, Capt. Shepherd, will be paid off at
Devonport on the 6th inst., if imperative courts-mar-
tial do not postpone the period.
Locust steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Curtis,
will be ready for sea, at Woolwich, by the 14th.
Yolage surveying-vessel, Capt. Graves, will be paid

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 4.—An application having
been made through the Commander-in-Chief, by the
Ottoman Vice-Consul at this port, to the Board of
Admiralty, soliciting the appropriation of a piece of
ground for the purposes of sepulture on behalf of the
Turks now sojourning in this port, their Lordships
have been pleased readily to grant the application, and
a piece of land on the Gosport shore has accordingly
been allotted as a burying place for such of the Ori-
ental strangers as may die while here.
The Rolla apprentices' training brig, Lieut. Fen-
wick commanding, has been brought into harbour for
the winter.

DINNER TO JOSEPH HUME, ESQ , M.P.
SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 3.—A most gratifying de-
monstration, in honour of this veteran Reformer, took
place here last evening. " Advantage was taken of
Mr. Hume's temporary visit to the town (to witness
the departure of his son by the West India steamer)
to invite him to a public dinner, which the old Eng-
lish patriot accepted, and the banquet took place at
the Victoria Rooms. Although the arrangements
had been only a few days in progress, four hundred
persons were present, including men of all classes—
from the borough magistrate down to the humblest
working man. The respected mayor of the borough
(R. Andrews, Esq.) filled the chair. Mr. Sheriff
Payne, Mr. Alderman Laishley, and several other mem-
bers of the town council were present.
After the usual loyal toasts had been done full jus-
tice to,
The MAYOR proposed the toast of" The People, the
true source of legitimate power." Their worthy
guest was truly a man of the people. He belonged to
teem—worked for-them—and was indeed a political
man, though of Whiggism or Toryism he knew
nothing.—(Cheers.) This was the favourite standard
toast of the old -Whigs forty years ago, but they
seemed of late years to have totally forgotten their
early principles.—(Hear, hear.)
The toast was warmly received and responded to by
Mr. J. T. EKLESS, who occupied the vice-chair.
The MAYOR then called for a bumper, for the toast
of the evening—" The Health of Joseph Hume, Esq.,
M.P., their honoured guest."
The toast was drunk with every manifestation of
honour and delight—the ladies in their gallery
waving their handkerchiefs, as those 1; the sty-ner
sex (all standing) shook the building with their loud
cheers.
Mr. HUME, on rising, was received with renewed
applause, which having at length subsided, he pro-
ceeded to thank them from his heart for the welcome
they had that evening accorded him. He did not take
their approbation so much a compliment to himseif
personally as to those principles which he had always
been so anxious to promote. He accepted the de-
monstration of that evening as a testimony of their
sense of the vast importance of those principles,—as a
proof that they had not now to become converts to
them. He would not give a pin for any man who
came there merely to join in that evening's welcome,
who was not determined hereafter to carry out those
expressions of opinion into action, and be firm and
zealous supporters of those great reform principles
with which he was identified.—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) It might probably be new to many present
if he stated that he was the first man in the House of
Commons who declared himself a Radical Reformer

—(Applause)—and at a time, too, when a Radical
Reformer was thought little better than a wild beast.
—(Laughter and cheers.) But he made up his
mind. He saw fearful abuses existing in our institu-
tions—he saw the necessity for reform of those
abuses—that there must be no mere patchwork—no
mending bit by bit—but that they must remove as
speedily as possible those abuses and that injustice
from which the nation was suffering. No country in
the world was richer than England. Her inhabitants
were a finer race of men than any other country could
boast of. For skill and persevering plodding industry
none could rank with Englishmen. Such were his
observations 40 years ago. The question then arose
in his mind, why there should be so much misery in a
country which possessed materials amply calculated to
make her people prosperous and happy? He believed
one great reason to be the abuses in our Constitution

evils—that, instead of ruling for the be•
nefit of the many, those in authority too much con-
sulted the mere interests of the few. In the abuses
in the House of Commons was the foundation of
much, if not all, the evils from which they suffered.
In his early days he attached himself to the Whigs,
because they appeared to be greater friends of
liberty than the Tories, and he had generally been
a follower of that party. He had in those
days witnessed certain members of the pre-
sent Government toast the people, whose power,
he regretted to see, they now appeared to dread.
They abused the people who had brought them into
power. He was almost daily pained to witness their
refusal to give the people those political rights and
privileges of which they were once such strong advo-
cates. Reform was in a very different position to what
it was in 1811, when he first entered Parliament.
England, limited as it was with regard to represen-
tation, was then at the,top of the tree, looking towards
Europe. All our institutions were representative.
The great English jurisprudist, Blackstone, declared
that by the Constitution every Englishman had a
right to be in, or to have a voice in sending represen-
tatives to, the Commons House of Parliament, to whom
was entrusted the right of levying taxes, the right of
taking out of the pockets of the people that which was
their own property, for the purposes of the State.
Government was not to be conducted solely fur the
benefit of the Crown or of the aristocracy, but for
the benefit of the people—of the whole, and not of a
class.—(Loud cheers.) The Crown was merely an
executive officer, to execute the laws of the people
when passed by their representatives; and this it was
which made England to differ from continental rulers,
who acted on their own despotic authority, and took
no order from the people. In England the people had
established their right by turning out one king and
putting in another ; the Crown was elected to carry
out measures for the benefit of the community at large.
Every Englishman, therefore, had a right to a
voice in sending Members to Parliament ; but was it
so? Out of a population of twenty millions, there
were only some 950,000 electors on the register ;
and, after deducting double and treble qualifications,
he believed the actual number of individual electors
would not exceed 800,000. Referring back to the
commencement of his career in 1811, he repeated that
he found the root of all these evils to be in the House
of Commons ; and to the work of reform, and a
change for the better, he had devoted his life.—(Loud
cheers.) He had seen on various sides abuses in their
institutions, which he was anxious to get redressed—
monopolies to be removed—laws to be corrected—ex-
penditure to be curtailed—and all these things
brought them back to the principle, that taxation and
representation should be co-equal and co-existent, as
all the best authorities on the British Constitution said
ought to be the case. He highly eulogized the Con-
stitution of England as comprising the three estates :
the House of Commons, as the voice of the people
the House of Lords, as the voice of the aristocracy ;
and the Crown, as a controlling power over both ;
and which only required to be properly carried out to
make it the most perfect constitution which he could
imagine. Therefore, as a Radical Reformer, he was
anxious to preserve their institutions in all their in-
tegrity, but to extirpate the abuses which impeded
their fair and legitimate working. (Mr. Hume then
passed in review the various reforms he had always
supported in the House of Commons, and the
leading political events which had characterised the
forty years that had passed since be first entered
that assembly.) The people had now the power in
their own hands to a great extent, if they chose to
accomplish it, to effect great reforms for themselves.
Prom the moment the rotten boroughs were abolished,
and the abuses connected therewith were rooted out,
the people possessed far greater power than before.
There was scarce a man who, by the exercise of a
little economy, could not in a short time obtain a
vote ; and the man who had not a vote was only a
political slave.—(Hear, hear.) Reforms in the law,
in Parliament, and in other matters, (to which Mr.
Hume referred at length), required immediate
attention, and with earnest action on the part of
the people they could soon be accomplished. To
these matters he had always devoted his attention,
and should it please God longer to spare his life
he should continue to do so ; and when he laid his
head on his pillow, never to rise again, he should
have the satisfaction of knowing that be had, at all
events honestly, endeavoured to do something for the
improvement of his fellow-creatures.—(Loud cheers.)
No country in the world had more reason to be proud
of her institutions than England, if they were only
properly carried out. No man was more anxious
than he was to see the abuses which had crept into
them removed—none more anxious to preserve the
good and destroy the bad.—(Hear and cheers.) And
therefore he had, in the two last sessions of Parlia-
ment, introduced a measure to give the people a re-
gistered suffrage, the ballot, the abolition of the pro-
perty qualification for Members of Parliament, equal
electoral districts, and triennial Parliaments. (On
each of which several points Mr. Hume dilated at
some length.) He had great confidence in the future,
and although he did not expect to live to see them all
carried out, he believed the day was not far distant
which would witness the advent of many great and
wise changes. He highly complimented Lord John
Russell for the services he bad rendered in past days
to the cause of civil and religiousliberty ; and although
he lamented the Noble Lord's more recent conduct on
questions of reform, he looked upon him as a victim
to the present state of things, and believed that, with
a better House of. Commons, they would find Lord
John Russell a much better man. After some further
allusions to these questions and a few complimentary
references to the conduct of the,mayor of. Southamp-
ton, who bad always proved himself a true friend of
the working classes,
Mr. Humeproposed the "Health
of the Mayor and Corporation of Southampton," and
pp
sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering.
The, -toast was drunk with_ much applause, and
briefly responded to by the aura.
