HENRY COLBURN and RICHARD BENTLEY, London; and sold by THE MORNING JOURNAL.-In consequence BELL and BRADFUTE, NO. 6, Bank Street, Edinburgh. of the harsh and oppressive Measures that have been resorted to with a view to effect the ruin of Mr Alexander, (now a Prisoner within the walls of Newgate,) and to destroy "The Morning Journal" Newspaper, of which he is the Editor and principal Proprietor, it has been resolved by several distinguished Friends of the Liberty of the Press to recommend that a Public Subscription be entered into forth with, in order that those who love freedom, and desire to preserve unimpaired the Constitution of Great Britain, may be enabled to testify their sense of the recent Measures, under the effects of which he is suffering. It is obvious that the nature and object of these Measures have been to destroy the Freedom of the Press-to prevent the possibility of Free Discussion in a free Country-and to give to the Government of the day a power most prejudicial to the liberty of the subject, and destructive of the very spirit upon which our noble and glorious Constitution is founded. That such is the fact, is not only felt and believed in all parts of the Kingdom, but has been asserted by individuals of all parties in the Commons' House of Parliament, as well as by the various Public Journalists of the Metropolis, of the Provinces, of Ireland, and of Scotland, with scarcely an exception. It is, therefore, now proposed that a Subscription be immediately raised-the object of which shall be to pay the Fines imposed by the Court of King's Bench, to defray the heavy expenses consequent on the recent Prosecutions, and to negative the attempts to ruin The Morning Journal," by upholding that paper, and by supplyng it with the means of being conducted with energy, ability, and effect. Several of the Public Journals having already, in a spirited and enerous manner, directed the attention of their readers to the proriety of the course now adopted ;-their zealous and warm co-operaion is earnestly requested that they will give force and effect to he statement now put forth-and that they will receive and transmit uch Subscriptions as may be forwarded to them. Subscriptions will be received at Holmes's Hotel, Parliament Etreet, Westminster; at Garraway's Coffee House, Cornhill; or at he Office of "The Morning Journal," where a Committee sit daily rom 12 to 4 ;-to whom communications are requested to be adressed.

His Ducatus Leodiensis, or Topography of Leeds, has always been a book prized and popular; and there is scarcely an antiquary or a distinguished naturalist of his time with whom he was not intimately acquainted, and among others with Nicolson, Gibson, the Gales, Smith, Hickes, Strype, Hearne, and Baker. But perhaps he is best known as the possessor of a very extensive and curious Museum, in which were deposited the rarest specimens of art and nature. The Diary and Correspondence of this distinguished individual, contain a variety of original and curious notices of nearly all the literary and scientific characters who flourished at the close of the 17th and at the beginning of the 18th centuries."-Courier.

Its Antiquarian Society serves to keep alive a taste for learning, the pride of having been an ancient capital stimulates still farther the love of distinction, and the beauty of the situation secures as its residents a class of society among whom such pursuits are eminently popular. It can boast of having furnished the world with an Encyclopædia, the first, if we are not mistaken, published in Scotland-at all events the only one ever attempted in a provincial place--and this alone manifested a degree of literary enterprise that has never yet been equalled anywhere else beyond the capitals and the English university towns. An edition of Burns also proceeded from the Perth press, with an able life of the poet by Professor Walker: and the note, Morison's edition, when found in the catalogues of booksellers, is well known to add value to many other works to which it is attached. The splendid literary exertions made in our city for a considerable series of years back, have superseded the necessity of exertion elsewhere, and have also tended to drain the provinces of the talents necessary for such pursuits; but Perth may look back with no little pride to the time when she started so fairly in the same honourable race. "With all these recollections fresh in our memory, it was with pleasure that we heard of the proposal of reviving the former flame, by the publication of a literary periodical in the Beautiful City. Perth, on account of the engrossing rivalry of Edinburgh, is not fitted to be a great publishing mart; but it ought to command the sale of a local magazine, and we hope the present one will meet with the support which it merits. The plan of the Miscellany, as the name intimates, embraces considerable variety. Original literary articles, such as form the staple contents of other magazines, come first; then follow reviews of books; selections from the principal magazines, with introductory remarks; scientific varieties; a full meteorologi. cal table, from the register kept at Kinfauns Castle; agriculture, including original communications, and notices of published works; gardening and botany, treated in the same manner as agriculture: a summary of local intelligence; the whole brought up by a goodly array of advertisements. "This Miscellany is, we believe, the only Scottish periodical which devotes a stated portion of its columns to gardening and botany, and it ranks among its contributors to this department some of the most distinguished horticulturists in this country, who have hitherto been ample contributors to similar publications in London. "We do not know whether the appearance of the Fair Maid of Perth' may not have given a new impetus to the literary circles of that city, and have thus indirectly been the cause of the Miscellany's being started; but it is at least certain, that the article which forms the leading one in the first two numbers owes its origin to the novel, being an account of the personal history of the wretch Henbane Dwining. Only a few chapters have yet appeared, from which, however, we augur well of the rest. The opening, we confess, was somewhat tedious to us, being occupied chiefly with antiquarian matter, of a local interest; but as we proceed, the narrative improves, and the fourth chapter concludes with a trait perfectly in keeping with the character of the scoundrel apothecary in the novel-Dwining sees his sweetheart and his rival looking from an upper window during a flood of the Tay, which threatens to prove fatal to them, and, having it in his power to effect their deliverance, leaves them to perish; and immediately after learns that the young man whom he supposed his rival, was not so, but on the point of being married to the orphan daughter of his (Dwining's) only brother. The third and fourth chapters are written with no little spirit. The rest of the articles are in a lively vein, and neat style; the extracts are well chosen, and the remarks upon them judicious: the same good taste pervades the other departments; and on the whole, the Miscellany will be found a pleasing companion for the chimney nook of ease.'"-Edinburgh Weekly Journal. "Judging from the first number, we augur well of this publication;-the contents are highly respectable and well varied; and it ap pears to be an addition of some consequence to the literature of Perthshire."-Edinburgh Literary Journal. "The north countrie,' a region which, Beattie tells us in his Minstrel, was once "Famed for song, and beauty's charms," we daresay has still nous enough to support a Monthly of its own, if conducted with the talent and discrimination which this Number One evinces. We cordially recommend to the public the Perth Miscellany. We hope it will receive that support which it so well deserves."-Edinburgh Literary Gazette. A second Number has just appeared, consisting of pieces, origi nal and select,-communications on every variety of subject,-intelligence, both local and general, agricultural and gardening,-poetry, science and the arts; and, in fact, communications suited to every variety of taste. We again most cordially wish success to this laudable undertaking."-Ibid. 20th Feb. "It is beautifully got up, and most judiciously edited.”—Glasgow Free Press.

"This little volume contains a most excellent summary of what must form to the medical student the foundation of his knowledge. The anatomical descriptions are full without being prolix, and concise without being defective or obscure. As was to be expected, the physiological notices are but short, but they serve to pass before the student a detail of the leading facts on each particular point, and to show him the scope of what he either has studied, or is about to study elsewhere. The same may be said with regard to pathology, and especially the pathology of surgical diseases. Even to the more advanced student or practitioner, this little work will be found to be of considerable use. From the manner in which it is arranged, an immediate reference can be had to its pages, for an answer on any topic within the range of the subjects on which it professes to treat, with much more certainty of concise and exact information, than is to be expected or can possibly be obtained from more bulky and seemingly more important works."-Scots Times.
