VIDOCCI.

Just published, in roWlStno., price (is. in boards,
MEMOIRS of VIDC)CQ. Written by
HIMSELF. Vol. I.

" This is a very remarkable work, and surpasses in ra-
pidity of incident and singularity of details, the most ro-
mantic productions of fiction with which we are ac-
acquainted. And there is in it as impress of truth and
sincerity which carries a strong internal evidence of inte-
grity."—Atlas.
" M. Vidocq will be enrolled in the memoirs of all time
as one of the most extraordinary characters of his age.
Napoleon and N idocq must go down to posterity toga-
they ; and the history of his life will take its rank among
those standard works which, by the charms of style, the
force of truth, and the interest of the subject, will continue
to give pleasure independently of the fluctuating fashions
and tastes of mankind."—Spectator.
" This is the 25th volume of Messrs. Hunt and Clarke's
spirited collection of Antobiography,'—a work which,
from its very commencement, has combined cheapness, or-
nament, and utility in no ordinary degree. With regard
to the present Memoirs, they are one of the most enter-
taining—we may add instructive narratives ever penned.
• • • Few fictions, even where imagination has most
luxuriated, exceeds the thrilling earnestness, broad humour,
deep pathos, and singular incident, of three real events. '
• * • It hart all the enchaining interest of an orien-
tal romance with all the recommendation of reality.—
Thus aided, it cannot fail to succeed, as, indeed, does Mes4rs.
Hunt and Clarke's Autobiography' in general."—Sun
" This is in some respects a very curious and interesting
book. The human character, indeed, is exhibited in its
worst and most contemptible form ; but still in every page
we find ample food for meditation on that singular com-
pound, man."—London Weekly Review.
Hunt and Clarke, York-street, Covent-gareen.

ON THE 4th OF JANUARY,

THE DISPATCH, Sunday Newspaper,
will be again Enlarged, without any increase of price.

The Dispatch has long been celebrated for early infor-
mation on political and domestic subjects, spirited essays
on all passing events, anti the accuracy of its exclusively
original Sporting 'News ; it has invariably advocated the
cause of the injured and oppree-ed, and fearlessly exposed
corruption and delinquency, without regard to perasn or
party. These characteristics have raised the circulation
of the DISPATCH to a Weekly Sale of UPWARDS of
TEN THOUSAND ; and in order to present its readers
with a still greater quantity of original matter, the Pro-
prietors have determined to increase the size of the Paper,
and the length and width of the colums, so as to give at
least one-fifth more letter-press.
The DISPATCH oontains thirty-two closely-printed
columns, in eight pages, and the subjects are so arranged
as to enable the reader to turn at once to any particular
article. It may also be separated into two complete
sheets, each having its own department of information,
and is therefore capable of accommodating two readers
at once, and, in fact, of answering the purpose of two
Newspapers.
Every purchaser of the DISPATCH of Sunday, January
4, will receive gratuitously, A BEAUTIFUL ENGRAV-
ING, presenting, under the title of " Old English Sports,"
a handsome picture, in five compartments, viz.:—let, A'
spirited representation of a Horse-race ; 2d, A Boxing-
;natal, with the combatants in attitude, the seconds, bottle-
holders, umpires, reporters, and ring-keepers, with the
spectators in the distance—the whole affording a complete
bird's-eye view of the Prize Ring ; Bd, A Wrestling-match,
with the men in the act of " playing," and the various
admirers of this manly art assembled to witness their
efforts; 4th, A Cock-pit—the birds at the "scratch," the
" feeders at their duty, and the " betters " at business ;
sth, A Stag-hunt—containing a lively representation of
that animating seems.

Specimens of the Engraving may be seen at all the prin-
cipal News-Agents in England, who will receive orders,
which are requested to be given early, to prevent disap-
pointment.
