THE " POPULAR LIBRARY EDITION" OF

THlEfiii" " HISTORY of the CONSULATE
and EMPIRE of NAPOLEON."
Translated by W. STAI'LETON, Trinity College, Dublin.
In Parts, at Eighteen Peneo ; and in Numbers, at Threepence each,
in a neat Printed Cover.
Part I. and Nos. I. to yr_ are now ready.

This Edition of the " Consulate and Empire," will, the Proprietors
feel assured, bear comparison with any translation that has as yet
emanated from the press, conveying with fidelity the spirit of the
great original, in a style at once graphic and pleasing—void of tau-
tological literality, which, while it embellishes the French, is a bar-
barism in the English. The Translator has carefully avoided any
introduction of technicalities from the original, which might lead the
reader to erroneous interpretations. Wherever difficulties have ap-
peared, Copious and Explanatory Notes have been appended, which,
cannot fail to prove a valuable acquisition to a work of this nature.

CONCERT.—A brilliant musical treat is to be given
at the London Tavern on the night of the 29th, at which
Miss Birch, who has been long absent in Italy, will sing, as
will likewise the Misses Bainforth, Fyne, Barrett, and Messent,
aided by Herr Oberhoffer, who takes the first rank in the vocal
corps of his Highness the Duke of Baden ; Wetherbe, Herr
Staudigi, John Parry, Handel Gear, Harrison, Stratton, &c. &e.
The whole Is given by, and under the management ,of, the ac-
complished pianists, Mr. and Mrs. Schwab.
Tait CORN-LAWS.—The most specific suggestion
in Lord John Eusesll's multifarious address last night was on the
corn-laws. The only addition he has made to the public stock of in-
formation on this subject is that he has descended from his Bs. fixed
duty of 1841 to 45., or perhaps 58., or perhaps Gs. It is difficult to
comprehend why his original preposition should he ea slightly cor-
rected far so doubtful a result. As his Lordship is now rather
winning adherents than choosing a coarse, he may prefer to content
himself with the least possible show of change. Let him, however,
save himself the trouble of an exact decisiou of a point which orb.
des tly costs so much labour. I'ecl will underbid him. " The Any
will corns, th' inevitable day," when reel will make a clean holo-
caust of the corn-laws, *tiering up what the Irish Catholics call " an
unqualified and uncontaminated gilt" to the free-traders. He will
not do things by halves. Cannot Lord John Russell see this in
time ? henceforth it is his fate to be behludhand in the market.
While he Is haggling for his odd shillings, and thinking to allure the
purchaser by the doubtthl tone of his denials, a more desperate and
determined salesman interposes, and throws him out of the market.

PATENT CARPET.—A patent has been obtained by
Mr. Sierier, the sculptor, for manufacturing the above article
by power, a process heretofore unattainable. It will entirely
superseded handwcaving, and although we may deplore the
loss of labour, yet we must feel at the same time every im-
provement is ef importance to the country in a national point
of view. The old method required two persons to weave a
Brussels carpet, and that an average of 30 yards per week
was obtained from a loom ; by the patent process one
attendant will make 200 yards per week without having to
exert any labour more than to fill the shuttle with weft.
THE GRAND POLISH FANCY, OR FULL-DRESS BALL.
—The recurrence of a Polish fete is always productive of considerable
sensation amongst the votaries of fashion. The splendour with which
they are got up, and the seleet company which attend them, have
placed them in the rank of the first reunions of the season. But the
attractions of this year will give an additional eclat to this entertain-
ment, from the circumstance that the Lady Patronesses will honour
it with the dresses in which they are to appear at the Palace, and the
formation of various quadrilles, minuets, and Mazurkas These last
are to be danced in the Polish national costume, and M, Juli engaged in composing some new nnisie for this brilliant Occaeioiiiell is
