I PAST, the PRESENT, and the FUTURE
(A NEW YEAR'S ADDRESS.)
The year has clos'd, with all its changeful scenes—
And, lo! another era intervenes ;
The year has clos'd upon a busy world,
And a fresh page of life has time unfuiPtl.
The chiming bells, with intermingling hunt,
Proclaim aloud—" Another year is come !"
The year is clos'd, and we embrace the time
To greet the public with a votive rhyme.
For while with exultation we review
" The Past, the Present, and the Future," too,
We feel a debt of gratitude is ow'd
For valued favours plenteously bestow's!.
Unbounded patronage has crown'd our trade,
And warmest thanks will be best duly paid.
Oft on his road the trav'ler glances back,
To mark his progress o'er the beaten track :
Thus we examine with observant eye
The advances of another year gone by ;
And glad we find, on looking at the past,
Our glorious hopes have not been overcast.
When last we hail'd the dawn of " New Year's Day,"
We talk'd of patronage in bright display.
And have we now to tell of favours less ?
No !—still we triumph in increas'd success ;
Success in all our trading plans is found,
And like a halo does our name surround.
Success attends us through the distant land,
Nor here alone—but where the seas expand.
Success in east and West, and north and south,
Is loudly sounded with a trumpet's mouth.
Success abundant we have seen appear
Each day, each week, each month throughout the year ;
Favours in seasons " past" our efforts bless,
And the bright " present" yields success I success!
Think not we use exaggerated terms—
Fact, glorious fact, their utmost truth confirms.
Language less strong could ne'er suffice to show
The vast success that crowns our fam'd depot.
Nay, strong as are our statements, we confess
They are not equal to our proud success ;
Anti hence we have a duty to discharge—
A duty called for by the world at large ;
Nor would we for an instant be remiss
In executing such a task as this.
With warm acknowledgements at once we thank
All gen'rous patrons (whatsoe'er their rank).
Thanks, many thanks ! warm, hearty, and sincere,
For mighty favours in the by-gone year,
For patronage by which we are display'd
Upon the topmost pinnacle of trade !
Thanks for the spreading fame which thousands sing,
And all that the returning seasons bring !
Nor will we make return in thanks alone,
For patronage so liberally shown.
When last we heard the New Year's bells resound,
We promised much—nor have we left our ground;
Each season new exertions have reveal'd
To merit what a lib'ral public yield.
Again we promise, as we promis'd then,
Nor shall our practice contradict our pen,
Though mighty efforts signalised the "past"
The " present' year shall far excel the last,
And " future" seasons to the world shall show
Our gratitude for what your hands bestow.
Mark what we promise ! We have much in store,
Aed offer to the public more and more.
Betwixt ourselves and patrons there shall be
A mutual zeal—an equal rivalry
Reductions and improvements shall be seen,
Far more extensive than have ever been,
Nought shall be left—no stone shall be unturn'd,
Wherein the public good may be concerned.
Our celebrated Mart shall still display
The choicest fashions for the rich and gay ;
While such as move in less important scenes
Shall find good clothing suited to their means.
In ev'ry point our honse shall be display'd
The most astounding mart throughout the trade.
Can we do more than this, our thanks to show,
Or give a greater compensation ? No.
Till this be done, we ne'er shall be at rest ;
But when we've done it, shall have done our best—
And with renewed exertion, such as this,
A smiling public will not be remiss.
We feel assured, that if we try to please
Our gt n'rous patrons with such acts as these,
That proud success will crown us more than ever,
And happily reward for each endeavour ;
And still with exultation we shall view
The " past," the " present," and the " future," too !
And now we close with many a wish sincere,
That all may realise " a happy year,"
" A happy ,ear" may ev'ry reader see—
Where'er his home—whate'er his lot may be !
" A happy year" alike the young and old !
And when another changeful year has roll'd,
Once more with pleasure we'll resume our pen,
And make our annual settlement again.

we can strongly recommend it to the notice of our readers,
fully satisfied that Mr. Van Butchell's talents, as here displayed,
will prove a boon to afflicted humanity."—City Chronicle,
Jan. 24, 1843.
As more than one clergyman whom we knew have received
benefi frora the treatment of Mr. Van Butchell, we gladly
call attention to this work, containing, as it does, accounts of
numerous casts which have tallest within his practice, and the
perusal of which may be of advantage to others similarly af-
flicted. The work is very dearly and well written, and to be
understood without any labour."—The Church Intelligencer,

The Proprietors have the satisfaction to find, as is very
generally acknowledged, that during the past year no efforts
have been spared to give additional interest and importance
to a publication which has ranked as a fa•;,-ourite with
the higher as well as the middle classes for more than
twenty years. The promises made by popular, Writers and
eminent Professors who had engaged to enrich its pages with
their communications have been made good, and no Ma-
gazine of the day has been able to lay before sits readers
more varied or more valuable original matter. Its widely-
extending connexions enable the Proprietors to furnish the
earliest and most correct announcements of all discoveries in
Art, Science, and Nature, that are interesting to the friends of
Literature.

Some of the most striking historical tales %hid; the season
has prodUced,.tares not composed of maudlin sensibilities, but
valuable illustrations of the annals and manners of former days;
translations of standard works of French and German authors
by the ablest hands, for " The Mirror" exclusively, have also
within the same period diversified its columns. •
The Reviews which have appeared have been free and im-
partial, not merely authors' prefaces and boeksellers' puffs,
which indolence and meanness have often been content to
adopt as such.
Engravings of the Heraldic honours of Noble Houses have
been introduced one in each week. In the accompanying
notices no party spirit has been allowed to enter, and some
memorable scenes have been recalled, which in ordinary Peer-
ages would be sought for in vain. The valuable assistance of
a Gentleman most intimately acquainted with everything that
relates to Heraldry, and with the history of all the most illus-
trious names of England, will in future enable the Conductors
of " The Mirror," as it proceeds, to correct errors which may
have unavoidably occurred in their own case, as well as in
other publications. Additional care will be bestowed, so that
the series, when complete, may forth a most • Valuable and
original work for reference. It will comprise interesting facts
drawn from the most authentic sources (in many cases exclu-
sive), relative to the origin of all the great families of the nat ion.
The general varieties which, for more than .twenty years,
have received the stamp of public approbation—historical
facts, amusing anecdotes, graphic descriptions of remarkable
localities and celebrated edifices, ancient and modern, will suc-
cessively appear, with embellishments of a superior, older.
Many advertisers having wished to avail theniselVes of the
large circulation enjoyed by " The Mirror" in' high and re-
spectable families, an additional Half Sheet is weekly appro-
priated to Advertisements, so arranged as to form a Wrapper,
or double Wrapper, without in any way interfering with the
Miscellany.

FOR STOPPING DECAYED TB.

FN.

MR. THOMAS'S SUCCEDANEUM,
Price 4s. 6d.
Patronised by her Majesty, his 'loyal Highness Prince Albert,
and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.
This valuable SUCCEDANEUM for STOPPING DE-
CAYED TEETH, however large the cavity is'far superior to
anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft
state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes
as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for
many years, rendering extraction unnecessary..- It arrests all
further progress of decay, and renders tkem again useful in
mastication. _ _

Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Ber-
ners-street, Oxford-street. Price 4s. 6d., and, will be sent
free by post to any part of the kingdom.
Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without
springs or wires, and has introduced an entirely, NEW DE-
SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will be
found very superior to all others, as they will never decay, nor
become discolouresl, and their perfect resemblance to nature
defies detection even by the closest observer. This method
does not require the extraction of any teeth or •reots, or any
painful operation whatever. The charges wilt be found much
less than most Dentists.

Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Berners-street, Oxford-
street. At home from eleven till four.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The. news from India is calculated
to excite, rather than gratify, curiosity. Dis-
sensions, overt and apprehended, treasons sus-

pected and punished, in Lahore; the collection
of one large army at Agra, the meditated pro-
gress of the Governor-General to the Sullej at the
head of another; and his provision for the admi-
nistration of Bengal during his absence—all these
indicate, if not a determination to carry war into

the Punjaub, at least a conviction that a war
must ensue, sooner or later, in that country, and
that it is necessary to meet it with proMptitude,
vigour, and decision. We have hitherto de-
nounced all unnecessary invasions as unjust and
immoral. In the case of India, they might also
be with truth condemned as most impolitic. The
vast number of nations already subject to us
between the Indus and the Burhampooter, ren-
ders an accession of empire at once onerous
and hazardous. We would prefer .seeing
the, British possessions confined within their
present limits to obtaining an ex tension
of territory at the cost of justice;. good faith,
or the wellitre of the natives.- But poli-
tical necessity is a stern and rigid despot.
She disregards scrupulousness ; she derides cau-
tion. Inflexible in purpose, and rapid in
„her
execution, yet she is neither capricious nor wan-
_

tonly unjtisi. She balances the good against the
evil ; and though she may sometimes be re-
proached with doing a little wrong in order to
compass a great right, she oftener waves a seem-
ing right to obtain a real and lasting good. She
discountenances arbitrary aggression and preda-
tory conquests; bui. she still forther -discounte-
nances the indifference which provokes eontempt,
and the tranquillity which hoards, iip:insult and
war for a future day. What has been the history
of our Indian • possessions? Has it..not been a
continuous series of involuntary. acquisitions ?
Have we not been betrayed into • •hostilities by
treachery or violence ; front collision gained ter-
ritory and power; from success in the field formed
profitable and honourable allianceS.; and on our
pacific, relations laid the foundations ,of greater
glory and greater power ? Those ivho at first
courted us from fear have turned.against us
in perfidy; and those whom we. subdued once
were lulled by our moderation intaa• disbelief of
our resources and a contempt of our daring ;
until, in self-defence, we were compelled to cas-
tigate perfidious friends, or to coerce rash and
unprovoked enemies. From allies and con-
querors we became masters ; and .those who
found themselves neighbours to a new and grow-
ing dynasty invoked our assistance, and submitted
themselves to our protection. The. same cycle of
treachery, aggression, and temerity„waS again re-
peated ; and at last, despise our sure c.rotest, from
a slip pf ground on the coast of • Madras, we ac-
quired the empire of nindostan-..' But the con-
quests :which have been achieved tVay,eororcv the
necessity of future acquisitions. Are elements of
internal weakness will hardly be confined to one or
two particular States ; and the helplessness which
has suggested,or the misfortuneswhich have com-
pelled, previous stannissions to 'Ole British Go-
vernment, may render future.. ititMion in-
evitable. In the States which littYe. Yet4ined, or
seem to retain,' their independence up to the
present time, causes may now be. operating no

not only wise, as against any danger; hut! it:is

rations as will defend our Indian possessions I ruin
the insolence of rash aggression, and, ir they do
not succeed in preventing a %val• in the north-
western parts, will at least succeed in bringing t hitt
war to an honourable and happy termination. NV c
do not desire for this country territorial aggran-
dizement ; but when we look to the condition of
the native population of India—when we contem-
plate what may be done—much inure, alas !` than
that which has been done—by bringing them in
contact with English habits, opinions, and sen.
timents—by emancipating them front the yoke
of caste, from the mock servility to their pageant
Princes, from the tyranny of exaction, and from
the spoliation of usury—when wc, see the. poor
inhabitants of a troubled district running toy
curity into the English possessions, as into a
place of safe refuge—we certainly do recognise,
not only the State policy, but we may even call
it, the social philanthropy of those dentonstra-
tions which are intended to repress insurgent
Ameers, to control the Court Or LAltore, aitd to
a
intimidate the successors of Scindia, by 'bold-
ness and a vigour such as wrenched the sceptre
from the hand of Surajah Dowlah, stemmed ;the
might of nyder Ali, and crushed the marauding
violence of the Mahrattas.
CH RONICLE.—An able awl well-timed

paniphlef has just been published by
unOl the title of " What is to be done? or, Pre-
sent, Past, and Future." The question is bite
that the whole kingdom is beginning to ask. We
firmly believe that no five minutes' conversation
on public affairs takes place in any part orthe
empire without its occurrence. No year Within
the memory of this generation has opened upon a
mass of political enlarrassments so intricate,: so
dangerous, so, perplexing, as those wllich torwsur-
ronnd and menace the Government of the
conntry. It is a time,for hearing any man,'whO
can give 'a word of seasonable advice; and the
writer of the pamphlet belbre us, whoever he
may be, is evidently qualified, by knowledge,
sagacity, and earnestness, to give counsel worthy
of, attention. His work displays nit intimate
knowledge of the politics of the last twenty
years; the style is brilliant and forcible, and
the matter so abundant that it would supply
themes for many articles. He treats first •of
men, and then of measures. This is the right
oitder at such a time as the present. When
te crisis is sharp, and life is in peril, the
first question must be, who is qualified to pre-
scribe?—who has shown the capacity to 'care?
Morever, it is an indispensable part of prudence,
in such cases, to inquire what each set of men
professes to do, what it has always been trying
to do, and what it has successfully done ? After
some remarks on the break-up of the old Tory
party in 18:27, and of the singularly unsuccessful
Administration of the Duke of Wellington, the
author or the pamphlet sketches the lnstoVy of
the memorable ten years of Whig Government,
He describes, briefly and fairly, the uneiptalled
combination of great measures by whieli tlat
period was distinguished, and in doing so ivealls
much Welch, with the proverbbilly easy oblivion
of benefits received, men have been too ready to
tbrget. Assuredly no other Ministry ever took
its place in history with so splendid a series of
legislative triumphs. 'fumy nothing• of the repeal
or the Test and Corporation Acts, or of Gitliolie
Emancipation, which were virtually earric(l by
the same party, when in opposition, against the
will of the Tory Government, we. had Parlia-
mentary reforms—abolition of shivery—Nitwit:l •
pal reform—the establishment of national edu-
cation in Ireland, and its tommeneetnCtit in
England—E m snglish and Irish Church retor—
pUnishment of death reforms—poor-law refinin
-4-postage reform—law reforms—pension-list re-
forms—abolition •of sinecures—diminutions. of
placemen and patronage—reduction of ,seven
Millions of taxes, leaving, on the whole, a ba-
lance of surplus revenue over expenditure, and,
when large necessary expenditure tbr ti time
destroyed that surplus, an attempted taxation
reform, involving the abolition, of all monopolies
and protections. Nearly every one of these
reforms brought the Government into hosti-
lity- with sonic corrupt interest ; and, by con.
tinual collision, it grew weaker from day to
day. The feelings connected with private in-
' terests are more constant, intense, and. (Alec--
Live in their operation, than thosel ' arising
from public benefits; and every year of W tug
Government added to the number of those
who had the strongest reasons to wish,. and
scheme, and struggle tor its downtid. ' Mean-
while the popular enthusiasm, which had floated
the Reform Bill over every obstacle, was ebbing
away,. and the old Tory interests were emerging
from the tide, and gaining prominence- daily.

At length the Tory Coverniie-nt was restored by
the grand coalition of monopoly interests, tvilich
defeated the Whig budget. But what i., it, and
what is its position ? The author of the pam-
phlet gives a masterly answer to this question.
He commences with a felicitous portrait of Sir
Robert Peel, which will be found LlSewhere, and,
every trait of wl4ll deserves to attentive con,.

sideration of those who feel the least interest in
the character of the Government. Ile thengoes
on, and makes good every allusion in the sketch
by proofs in detail, which, taken all together,
amount to a demonstration, ab ►)lutely irresistible
of the essentially unstatesmanlike character of
the Prime Minister, We can hardly imagine
any stupidity so opaque, ally party pre-
judice so callous to unwelcome impressions, or
any subtlety of evasion so refined, as to _blunt
the edge or resist the force of this caln► and
logical exposition. We recomMend a careful
perusal of it to all Members of Parliament, as
a preparation to the discussions on tholtd(lres.
