London, FRASER'S MAGAZINE.January 1840.
ADDRESS FROM THE PROPRIETOR TO THE PUBLIC.
TEN years have now elapsed since this Magazine was first
started ; and the Proprietor thinks that he will not be
liable to the charge of unnecessary intrusion if he, for the
first time in his own person, ventures thus to address the
public._

. -
The Magazine which bears his name was ushered into the
world in 1830, without a single advertisement or preliminary
announcement ; and it has, with constantly increasing suc-
cess, worked its way onward to 1840, solely by the public
favour, accorded to its undeniable honesty of criticism, its
unflinching boldness and consistency in politics, and the
literary talent which he, without vanity, may say it has
always displayed from the !beginning. The stirring period
in which its first years of existence were cast, no doubt con-
tributed, to the advancement of a Magazine which never
scrupled to express uncompromising opinions on passing
events (events, as all must admit, of vital, lasting, and
spreading importance) and which, from its undeviating
course, could be always counted upon, whether as ally or
enemy, in every emergency. It would, however, be unjust
to the numerous contributors of the Magazine—and the list
Comprises men of the highest talent in eve!), department of
literature, and some among them diametrically opposed to
its avowed party feelings—if its success were attributed
wholly to the position it has taken in the political world. It
would be invidious to select any names ; but to all persons
ever so slightly acquainted with our literature, many of de-
served eminence and distinction will immediately occur • and
what is of more consequence to the readers, the acknowledg-
ed literary merit of its articles will, without reference to any
name whatever, be sufficient to account for the favour which
it has attained, on grounds wholly distinct from those of
party advocacy.

" As site is concerned, the colony of Western Australia
is at present most favourably situated for commerce of any
spot in the southern hemisphere, and the object of Mr.
Ogle's volume is to bring the capabilities of that colony be-
fore the public."—Colonial Gazetteer.
" We know this is a good book, and, what is more and
better, we feel that it is a TRUE book. Every page bears
upon it the impress of truth and sincerity of purpose. We
have read many works upon the same subject, but none with
so much pleasure or so much instruction as we have derived
from that now before us. Mr. Ogle's work. is a great and
valuable accession to the store we already possess of colonial
information. To all who have either motive or inclination
to emigrate, we can truly recommend its perusal. The map
of the colony is the best extant, and the views of some of
the settlements are highly picturesque."—Salisbury Herald.
"The most valuable, because the most practically useful por-
tion of this work, is that copious department which is devoted
to an account of the actual condition of the colony of Western
Australia, or, as it is better and more specifically designated,
Swan River. This account is compiled and drawn up with so
much care, and from such apparently unquestionable sources
of information, that it may be safely depended upon as a ground
for the adoption of individual views as to the adaptation of
the colony to the wants and circumstances of the various
classes of persons who may be contemplating emigration."—
New Monthly.
" To those who were either present at Mr. Ward's motion
upon the subject of 'emigration' in the last session, or to those
who have read the able debate which that motion occasioned,
the work of Mr. Ogle respecting the colony of Western Aus-
tralia must prove exceedingly interesting. It is a compila-
tion of facts which seem to have been collected with great
care ; and if the authorities upon which Mr. Ogle relies be
trustworthy, no one who reads this book can entertain the
slightest doubt that the Western Australian colony presents
the greatest advantages to the emigrant, whatever may be
his circumstances."—Morning Chronicle.

The
Proprietor hai not lost (except by 'death, which, alas!
in the course of nature must, in the period of ten years, have
invaded the ranks of his friends) one of his original contri-
butors, but he has been favoured by the support of many
others of talent and distinction. In literary ability, he hopes,
therefore, that his succeeding volumes will improve upon
those which have passed ; or, at least, they will not fail to
maintain the distinction which the Magazine has already
earned. With respect to politics, it is probable that the
years now coming on will be of deeper interest even than
those which have just elapsed. He does not wish to assume
the character of a political writer; but, in common with all
who can read omens in what is going forward, he feels that
an eventful time is at hand. In all the emergencies that may
be anticipated from the seed sown by the Whigs during ten
years, FRASER'S MAGAZINE will continue to pursue the
same right onward course in the " forties" which it has main-
tained in the " thirties," turning neither to the right hand or
to the left,—not fainting in heart, nor wearied in exertion, to
maintain, to the utmost of its ability, the cause of Conserva-
tism—the cause of Church and State—the cause of God and
our country. All who are connected with it feel that they
have a right to expect that this promise may not be deemed
idle or insincere ; their conduct in years past affording a fair
guarantee for what their conduct will be in years to come.
Under these circumstances the Proprietor looksa circulation.
The

THE PALACE OF ARCHITECTURE;
A ROMANCE OF ART AND HISTORY.
BY GEORGE WIGHTWICK,
ARCHITECT.
To be illustrated with a Coloured Map, and upwards of Two
___

Hundred Plates and Woodcuts.
The object of this work is to bring forward the subject of
Architecture in a more popular manner than has ever yet
been attempted. It is addressed not more to the young
Student than to the general reader of either sex, and aims at
exhibiting in an attractive point of view what has hitherto
been too exclusively connected with conventional science and
mathematics. The picture, the poetry, the sentiment, and
the associations with which the subject teems, are therefore
prominently regarded ; while as much of the science as is
necessary to critical appreciation and a knowledge of the
general principles of design, is involved in its treatment.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought
intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war ; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, commonblack
teas have risen ls. Pd., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding, s How-
QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. per lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb.
HowQuA's SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., %,-hen even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
cattier in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
at the
least, twelveand as the entire stock of
months ; _ consumable
probability of the trade opening with that country, for,
MATURE,
every genuine
tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—Some time since a plain
private carriage drew up in the dusk of the evening to the
rural hotel in the romantic village of —, in this county,
and the agreeable hostess made her best curtesy to a young
and beautiful lady, who appeared much fatigued, and signi-
fied her intention of remaining for the night. The hostess
was so assiduous in her attentions, and the lady felt so com-
fortable in her cottage residence, that she protracted her
stay. At the end of the week she became the mother of a
child almost still born ; and about a fortnight after her ar-
rival the same carriage drew up precisely at the same hour,
and the bill being generously discharged, the fair and un-
known one departed, no one knows whither.—Tipperary

IiIELANCHOLY LOSSOF LIFE—NINE PERSONS DROWNED
IN LOUGH SWILLY.-0 II Thursday, the 9th instant, two
boats from the west side of the lake proceeded to Doughbeg
to fish for cod. On their return home, on the night of the
same day, one of these boats struck on a rock in Pincher's
Bay, when, melancholy to relate, all on board perished.
Among the sufferers were a man named Calaghau and his
two sons; two brothers named John and James Black. from
Anny ; and the rest of the crew were culled Kerr or M'Elhare.
The boat has been since picked up, and two of her bonals
stove in ; but none of the bodies have yet been found.—

While our contemporaries'on the other side of the channel
are weekly recording some delectable proof of the mildness or
the season, we are happy to be able to bear testimony to the.
superior geniality of this Island, by apprising our readers.
that one day during the present week, Mr. Alderson, Pros-
pect-hill, gathered in his garden a considerable quantity or
large gooseberries, sufficient for a tart, with which be treated:
his friends at dinner.—Manx Liberal.
