MEMOIR OF HIS LATE MAJESTY, AND FASHIONS,
FOR THE GENERAL MOURNING.
Just published,
THE LADY'S MAGAZINE; or MIRROR of the
BELLES LETTRES, MUSIC, FINE ARTS, DRAMA,
FASHIONS, Sec. Established 1770 ; New Series, 1823 ; Im-
proved Series, 1830.
The rapid advancement in public estimation which the " Im-
proved Series" has made, could not be more pointedly exemplified
than in the unprecedented increase of our subscribers; and in
closing the first volume it would be affectation to conceal the pride
we feel in the success of our undertaking.
Rivals we have none, unless it be among those Magazines which
are designed for the general reader ; to :Blackwood we bow, to
Frazer we pay great deference, to the New Monthly we would
be very civil ; but we will stoop no lower ; we are proud to dis-
claim the class of publications which treat females as teings less
intellectual than ourselves. We have given our fair countrywomen
an opportunity of proving themselves worthy of a Blackwood of
their own; and we have shown the reading Public, that the de-
votion of a few pages to the elegancics of female fashions, is not
incompatible with the highest class of literature.
Our acknowledgment of the patronage, which has surpassed
the most sanguine expectations, shall be made in fresh endeavours
to deserve it ; we will not degrade our embellishments by com-
paring them with those of any similar existing work ; and if we be
not greatly mistaken, it shall not be long ere it will be deemed a
reproach to an elegant female, that she be not among the number
of our readers.

most any other medium of publicity, not only for all the lighter
subjects which interest the fashionable world, but also for the great
majority of literary and musical works which issue from the press,
and which, whatever may be said to the contrary, depend for their
popularity chiefly on the patronage of the Fair Sex. The Proprie-
tors therefore submit their charges to the attention of advertisers
in general:—

An eligible site for a general cemetery having offered itself, the
public are now invited to join in this great national improvement.
The grounds will be laid out and planted after the manner of the
celebrated Cemetery of Pitre-la-Chaise, surrounded with an orna-
mental enclosure of sufficient height, and so watched and guarded
to prevent the possibility of the sepulchres within being violated
or disturbed. Within this area parishes, public bodies, and indivi-
Juals may obtain ground for interment, with liberty to erect mats-
,oleums or monuments, afttr their own designs. Vaults and
catacombs will also be constructed for general use
A register of the death, age, and description of each individual
interred, and of the situation of every monument, will be kept,
•ind be open to inspection in the same manner as the registers
of rarishes.
Original subscribets will be entitled to the privilege of removing
their relatives front other places of interment, at reduced fees.
Calculating on a small proportion of the annual interments
(10,000), there can be no doubt of an ample return for the ca-
pital invested.

masons' Tavern, on Wednesday, the 9th of June last, r t which
