WHEN CROWN'D WITH SUMMER ROSES ; the
celebrated Prize Ballad, Sung by Mr. Hobbs, at the
Melodists' Society. Written by H. BRANDRE'I'H, Esq.,
Composed by J. I4LEWITT, price 25., is published by Collard
and Collard (late Clementi and Co.) 26, Cheapside, London.

"Mr. Blew•itt has here produced a most elegant ballad, which'
richly deserved the prize that honoured it.at the Melodists' So-
-I)iety,.and on which we most cordially- couTratulat, him, trusting
that it may be a strong incentive to future exertions."

"The subject is well introduced by the symphony, which is
extremely playful and graceful,and we are thereby led almosttcy
anticipate a crowning with summer roses,' and 'hope and plea-
sure to take the lead.' To all persons fond of the rose, as well as
of delightful Melody, we recommend this song as a lovely flower,
which ought to grace every lady's musical library."—United
Kingdom.
"We leave here a ballad of ' melting beauty;' in proof whereof
it is necessary only for us to remark, that Mr. Blewitt received
the higheit and most valuable prize given by the Melodists'
Club, at their last meeting, for the best composition of ballads.
That now under notice was the one selected as the most superior
production, from amongst a very considerable number sub-
mitted for their approval by the leading composers of the day.
As Mr. Blewitt has made so successful a hit in this ballad, we
hope, ere long, to see a series of equal goodness from his pen."
—Sunday Tines.
"A most tasteful and diversified melody accompanies some of
the sweetest words that ever appeared in modern songs. The
introduction of several little elegant cadenzas places it far be-
yond the run of musical compositions of the day. This charming
song is written by H. Brandreth, Esq., and justly obtained the
prize of the Melodists' Society for the present year."—Lo Studio.
" The words of this ballad are simple and elegant, and .the
taste and labour displayed by both writer and composer have
been duly ap:reciated by the Melodists' Society, by their having
awarded to it their prize."—National Standard.

NARRATIVE of the EXPEDITION to PORTUGAL
under the orders of his Imperial Majesty Dom Pedro, Duke of
Braganca. By G. LLOYD 110DGiS, Esq. late Colonel in the
Service of her most faithful Majesty. the Queen of Portugal.
"Colonel Hodges, with that sensitiveness to fame, and to that
good opinion of the country and of his brother-officer s would
have (as he states) immediately on his return published his vin-
dication, but for fear of injuring the cause he had so gallantly
fought for. His motives for the delay were equally honourable
and delicate. The work itself; we have every reason _to believe,
is the strict truth."—Times, July 16.
"Replete with amusing matter, and written in a dashing
soldier-like style."—Age, July 7.

"As the production of au avowed partisan, the volumes dis-
play infinitely more candour, liberality, and evep generosity,
tearcould reasonably have been anticipated. -They presentiettr and simple statements of facts; expose much petty in-
trigue, furnish many personal and characteristic sketches, and
abound with incidental description and anecdote."—Court Jour-
nal, July 20.
"This is a very entertaining, and, at the present crisis, a very
interesting work."—Halifaz Guardian, July 26.
"Much has been said of Pedro within the last three or four
years, but we shall no where gain a better insight into his cha-
racter than in these pages of Colonel Hodges."—Spectator,
July 13.
"We recommend every body who is interested in the subject
to peruse the Narrative. With a good taste that is creditable
to his character, Colonel Hodges suspended the publication
during the period that fortune seemed to have set in against the
Queen ,• but now that the fate of arms appears to have declared
in her favour, his motives for suppression no longer exist."—
Atlas, July 28. ,
"As a continuous account of events which have led to the
present auspicious position of affairs, and which must form a

OLD BAILEY EXPERIENCE. 3y the Author of "The
Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate."
temTphueutfroilelso.wining
sCuritiques appeared among the notices of
Fraser's Magazine, during the time that the Schoolmaster'3
Series were in the.course of publication in that Periodical:—
" Fraser, of this month, appears to us to outstrip all his con-
pvrt of our opinion we need only refer to
'the Schoolmaster's Experieuce in Newgate,' a most able ex-
losition of the abuses in the administration of the criminal
aw.''—Morning Herald.
"In Fraser's Magazine for July, there is an article under the
title of 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate,' the second
of a Series, which lays barb the shocking injustice towards the
poor in our criminal cour in ad masterly manner."—Morning
C'hronicle.

"`The Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate' is again at the
head of the very ablest papers in the number."—Trne Sun.
"A most important exposure. evidently the work of a sensible
man, thoroughly acquainted with the workings of our vicious
system in alt their details, and having accurate ideas of Un-
necessary ipprovements."—Examiner.
"The thi•rd paper on 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in New-
ate' contains such important matter as must arrest the atten-
tion of those in authority."—Derbyshire Courier and Chesterfield
Gau:tte.

" Fraser's Magazine for August is replete with much interest
ing matter. We have been much struck with a paper„ which
has been continued in several numbers, on the criminal juris-
prudence of ths_p_oußtry, and entitled ' the Schoolmaster in
.61-6..z-iifii:',-.--P/ymant/t nera W.- -- -
"We are glad to find 'the Schoolmaster' "%.* to continued,
-.4i. -
for it lays open such an hitherto unknown field of observation—
it places the condition of Newgate and the conduct of the judges
in so new a li,ght, and yet so evidently correct, that every law-
man in the kingdom, be he attorney, conveyancer, especial
pleader, or whatever else, will benefit front its perusal; and
will be glad after that perusal to use his influence to procure a
change in the practice of those who preside at the criminal
courts of the criminal sessions in the metropolis. The cau'e
and continual increase in London of thieves is distinctly pointed
out, the manner and accuracy of which is it impossible to dis-
pute." _ _ .

- ut'the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate' is the
article of articles, for utility and deep interest, among all the
magazines of the mouth."—Gloucester Journal.
"The Regina, of July, exhibits many beauties,-and some good
intentions, which atone for her political sins—the errors of ultra-
Toryism. Few periodicals have sa rapidly progressed, or have
been so firmly fixed in public estimation, in the same given time,
as Fraser's Magazine. The boldness, vigour, and originality of
its political papers,and the freshness-and playful humour of its
lighter articles, render this monthly visitor generally interesting.
A. continuation of 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate'
is a production of the deepest interest; it is a distressing deve-
lopment of the mal-administration and anomalous working of
our criminal code, as proved by the proceedings at the Old
Bailey. The writer appears accurately conversant with the
operations of this abominable system, and has furnished a body
of evidence, which ought to arrest the immediate attention Of
those who devote their. talents and influence to reform existing
abuses."—Moninoutli
"There are many other papers in Fraser's Magazine that de-
serve cpliuent, but we have neither space nor time for the task,
especially as we intend to dravi largely upon 'the Schoolmaster's
Experience. The public are deeply indebted to this writer for
his able series of papers."— Week/ Ei.ispat ch.
"Fraser has sent forth a shrewd number this month; it con-
tains one excellent paper, 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in
Newgate,' which is entitled to our praise with respect to its hu-
manity, talent, and interest."—Dorchester and Taunton Journal.
"Amongst the many interesting articles in this month's Maga-
zine, a paper entitled 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in New-
gate' merits every attention : it should be read by every one who
feels an interest in the jurisprudence of his country."—Devon-
port and Storehouse Herald.
" 'The Schoolmaster's Experience,' which graces the pages
of Fraser's Magazine, is a most admirable exposure of the man-
ner in which justice, or rather injustice, is administered at the
Old Bailey session; it cannot fail to awaken attention to the
subj ect, mid to be productive of much good."—Blackburn Gazette.

BARBADOES and OTHER POEMS. By M. J. CHAP-
MAN. Esq.
" The author of this little volume enlists our feelings in be-
half of his subjects, inasmuch as he is a native of the island,
whose natural beauties and other distinguishing features he has
presented' to us."—Bristol Journal.
" Barbadoes' occupies nearly half the voldme, and being
written by one to whom the scenes are familiar, there is a de-
lightful freshness and vigour in the descriptions, which a stranger
might in vain have hoped to obtain."—Berkshire Chro;ticle.
"A neat little volume of poems, the longest and most inte-
resting of which is entitled Ihrbadoes,' and relates chiefly to
the scenery, the manners, and the historical incidents of that
island." Liverpool Standard.
" Mr. Chapman's versification is easy and harmonious • he
has imagery, force, and pathos at command and from his focal
knowledge, an eye for the beauties of nature, and a heart to
estimate their vane, he has been enabled to sketch many a
glowing scene."—Court Journal.

"Barbadoes has at last got a bard of her own; one Ivho writes
natural and harmonious verse. Mr. Chapman is a West Indian,
and Barbadoes is the burden of his song. Fle sings with truth
and ease, and with a voice melodious rather than Imid."—Athen.
"The Rrincipal subject of Mr. Chapman's volume, as the title
imports, is Barbadoes, where the sc.enery, habits, pursuits, and
employments of one of the most important of the West India.
islands, (the author's birth-place,) arc depicted with consider-
able ability, and, as we are assured, with a scrupulous adhesion
to the literal truth.
_.Besides poetical talent, this publication
bears the impress of refined taste and extensive information
connected with the western world. Several of the smaller
pieces, too, are very beautiful.—Newcastle Courant.

THE NEW PATENT
OLID PIN,
HEADWITH AN IMMOVABLE
S.

TA F. TAYLER and Co., after several yedis' attentive
1.-/O application, and the expenditure of an .immense capital,
have now brought to perfection this nove long-desired, and
beautiful PIN, and have the satisfact. o introduce it, pro-
tected by his Majesty's Royal Letter atent, and under the
exalted patronage, and privileged b exclusive warrants, ap-
pointing them "Solid Headed Pin Manufacturers" to her most
gracious Majesty Queen Adelaide, their Royal Highnesses the
Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and all the royal
Princesses. • The most prominent improvements in this novel
manufacture consist in the whole Pin being formed of one piece
of wire, the head not being put on., but compressed into a neat
round form, out of a part of the sold brass, of which the re-
mainder of the Pin is made, whereby its slipping is completely
prevented; and, by their mode of preparing the metal, the Pins
are unusually stiff and elastic, and a finely tapered point is
preserved, their advantages combined with' their discovery of
a permanent silver brilliancy of colour, have brought this
useful article to the utmost perfection of which it is capable.
Yet, notwithstanding -its acknowledged superiority, and the
enormous expense incurred, it may be purchased of all the
respectable Haberdashers in England, Scotland, Iteland, and
France, at the price of Pins in ordinary use.
