SIR WALTER SCOTT'S PORTRAIT,
By Sir Thomas Lawrence.

HIS MAJESTY has been graciously pleased

to grant to MooN, Boys, and GRAVES, the loan of the above celebrated Picture, from which a splendid LINE ENGRAVING, by J. H. ROBINSON, is now far advanced, and will be speedily finished in a style worthy of the subject; an unfinished Proof, lately taken, may be seen at their House, No. 6, Pall Mall, or at Mr. Moon's, 20, Threadneedle-street, by whom, as well as by all Printsellers in the United Kingdom, Subscribers' names are received. As the Engraving is on copper, it is necessary for names to be entered to insure Prools. Price, to Subscribers, 17. 18.; Proofs, 27. 28.; India, 31. 35.; before letters, 41. 4s. The paragraph beneath is from the Times of Nov. 16, 1832.

"Yesterday evening the members of the City of London Artists' Society held their first meeting for the season at the London Coffee-house. The intention of this Society is merely to afford artists and amateurs an opportunity of assembling together for the purpose of conversation, and of exhibiting their works before they are brought more unequivocally under public notice. Many specimens of the talents of the members were last night observable in the room; but as anything like detailed criticism on such an occasion would be out of place, we will merely announce that a proof of an engraved portrait of Sir Walter Scott, from a painting by Lawrence, excited general attention and no less admiration. The portrait, we understand, was executed about thirteen years since, though it was not generally known that our great portrait painter had ever had the Author of Waverley for a sitter, and much regret has frequently been expressed at the supposed omission. In comparing this portrait of Sir Walter with those with which the public are already familiar, one is struck with the immense superiority of Lawrence over all his competitors in the power which he possessed of seizing upon and conveying to his canvas the most intellectual expression of his subjects. The admirers of the novelist will be pleased to find that the look of slyness, nay, almost of low canning, which his less skilful limners have attributed to him, and which they wondered how such a man could ever possess, was not the real character of his head, but that its true expression was that of calm reflection, but with an eye which would evidently brighten up at the first merry thought that might occur to his mind. The engraving, which, when finished, will be one of the best that has been produced for a long time, is executed by Mr. Robinson, the engraver of the Wolf and the Lamb,' ??

FIFTY-FOUR QUARTO MAPS.

With the New County Divisions, beautifully engraved on Steel,
By SIDNEY HALL.

"This excellent work-of which we have before had occasion to speak in terms of unqualified commendation-is now completed
In three thick octavo volumes, containing many thousand pages; and we take the opportunity of again recommending it to generae
notice, as the very best of its kind that has hitherto been produced, or that, in fact, need be produced: for all that can with advantag
be included in a work of this nature is to be found here; anything more would have rendered it at once cumbrous, and unattainable
at a moderate price; and anything less would have impaired its utility as a work of immediate reference. It contains fifty-four quarto
maps; its type is clear, and sufficiently large for any reader; and the care and expense which have evidently been bestowed in getting

Look for similar undertakings in future."-Court Journal.

"The advantages of this Dictionary above any other are numerous. It gives the very latest statistical facts, drawn from the last surveys, and from local inquiries; it separates the mere details of distances, population, fairs, &c. from the general account of places, hy the adoption of a smaller type, which has all the utility of the tabular form, without the inconveniences attending tabular reference; and it carefully embodies, up to the period of publication, such matters of information as, under the changes effected by the Reform Bill, are not to be found collected elsewhere. We greatly commend the diligence, correctness, and skill of the editor, and congratulate him on the close of his arduous labours, which have added to the Englishman's library a work of the highest value and importance."-Atlas.

Just published, price 2s. 6d.

HE EVIDENCE given by Dr. CHALMERS

Thand

Dr. DOYLE before a SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE of COMMONS in 1830, on the STATE of IRELAND. With reference to the much-agitated question of Irish poor laws, this evidence is in the highest degree important, and it is not of merely temporary interest. Dr. Chalmers' evidence contams a complete exposition of the system of managing the poor in Scotland, more particularly of the plan adopted by him at Glasgow; and Dr. Doyle's is full of vivid sketches of the state of Ireland. The remarks of both on popular education are worthy of the greatest attention; and their opposed arguments as to the expediency of poor laws, deserve the most careful consideration in forming an opinion on the subject.

LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1832.

This Journal is published every Saturday Morning, and despatched by the early Coaches to Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and other large Towns; it is received in Liverpool for distribution on Sunday Morning, twelve hours before papers sent by the post. For the convenience of persons residing in remote places, the weekly numbers are issued in Monthly Parts, stitched in a wrapper, and forwarded with the Magazines to all parts of the World.

It contains four Tales, and an Essay on But the success of the former series proved Irish Swearing,-an essay of great humour more than the certainty of a good work's and merit, but not in exact keeping with the succeeding without the aid of puffing: it rest of the volume. The first tale is 'The established the fact, that even the advice of Midnight Mass,' so named from a custom, injudicious friends, and a desire to please now falling into disuse, of celebrating mass unwise patrons, cannot destroy, though it at the midnight preceding Christmas mornmay weaken, the pleasure derived from ac-ing. The story is a fearful tragedy in humble curate portraitures of human nature; and that the charms of truth are discernible even amid the exaggerations of caricature. Let us, however, "render unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar's," and ascribe to the suggestions of no very prudent friends, the constant efforts made, in the first series, to throw ridicule on the doctrines and ceremonies of

life, written with all the force of truth, and
all the power that characterizes the skilful
observer of nature, and the keen analyst of
human character. No abstract could do it
justice: we shall therefore content ourselves
with some extracts descriptive of the custom
from which the story derives its name :-

"This Mass having been especially associated
