the House of Commons on Its second reading on the 23d instant;
this Meeting herby declare their approbation of the principle of the
said Bill, which has for its object the correction of acknowledged abuses,
and is pre-eminently calculated to strengthen and support the founda-
tion of that Constitution under which the King holds his title to the
Throne, and ourselves and the rest of our fellow-subjects, our security
in the various possessions and immunities which we enjoy by law—
a me tsure which in our consciences we believe to be wise in its origin,
calculated tO maintain the peace of the country, and, above all, to up.

LITERATURE.

Lady's Magazine for March.

A good portrait of our justly popular Monarch adorns this Number,
besides whole lengths of six young Ladies in the most fashionable attire
The letter-press contains an excellent letter on the History of Music,
s I ich we arc happy to observe is to be one of a series. There are se.
veral pretty Meer', of poetry, by the Miss Strickland, and others.—The
rev it w part of this \,agazir•.e iv well executed and introduces many
curious works ro the notice of its readers. We may refer to the re-
view of Mr. Kent.cdy's Poems. and the account of the controversy be-
mein the late Dr. Thompson cf Edinburgh and Mr. Erskine, on the
sviiijitt of Universal Redemption.

The Scientific Gazelle.
This is one of the cheapest treats fur all who arc anxious to keep
their intelligence in the various branches of Science up to the standard
of the day. The early numbers of this work have all been judiciously
edged, and had not the Parliamentary proceedings occupied so much of
oar space lately, we should have made many extracts from its pages;
and in future we 411411 occasionally do so. For the small price of 4d.
at have a review of scientific works, analyses of the scientific journals,
accounts of the literary and scientilie societies through Europe, and
notices of every discovery. Were we the Editor we should not admit
nitich general literature, as the more the contents agree with the title the
Letter.

this novel undertaking, which seems not unlikely to produce a new sera
•.11t,rature,:our attention has been forcibly drawn by the perusal of " Pa-
ley's Metal a‘ll Political Philosophy," which forms the first volume of
the Philosophical Series. This has been condensed within about half
hie cxtent of the original; and as till the arguments are nevertheless
pre,;erverl, and even the very words of the author when they best convey
his ideas, we cork:rand:4e our readers, and especially the youth of both
\ es, on the facility with which they may thus become acquainted with
rtiliors npulsit from their bulk alone, at a comparatively little cost of
time as well as price.

The Dramatic Magazine.
Every admirer of the Drama—and he that is not, we pronounce, de-
ti tent in mental capability—must be pleased that a Journal exists
exclusively dedicated to its interests. We do not remember a llama-
tic Periodical so well conducted, sine:. the days of Anthony Paquin.
There is a plate, well engraved, of Maeready, in the character of
Henry bth—and of Mrs. Glover.
Library of the Fine Arta. ARNOLD.
This is a magazine which has long been wanted, and we are happy
to see that ; _t'eficiency strong our monthly periodicals is so well sup.
plied.; It is intentkal, besides a melange of original essay and tor.'
respondence on th 2 Fine Arts, to include in every number a portion of
some work of established character—such, for instance, as the Dia.
Courses of Sir Joshua Reynolds, which arc comnienced and will be conti-
hued until et mplete. This is a part of the plan we do not much ad-
mire, and se think that the magazine alone would lave obtained ade-
%nate support without this make-weight kind of addition. Works
