THE SPECTATOR,

LONDON WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,

AVOWS the ambitious aim of being the most

informing, the most amusing, and the fairest of all Newspapers; and, in particular, of being the best Weekly Newspaper for respectable families.

The method in which the Debates in Parliament are treated in the Spectator, coupled with the leading part which it takes in Parliamentary business, has brought a very large accession of subscribers and reputation since the opening of last session. While a prominence, correspondent to its real importance, is given to this branch of politics, other departments are not neglected. Apart from its claims as a journal of literature, and of dramatic, musical, and pictorial criticism, the Spectator, as a newspaper, contains more news of a readable kind than any other paper whatever. The proprietors invite comparison,

A Second Edition of

THE LAWS OF HARMONIOUS COLOUR

ING, adapted to HOUSE PAINTING and other interior Decorations. By D. R. HAY, House Painter, Edinburgh,

"We are glad that Mr Hay's book has gone to a second edition; and we doubt not that the ability and excellent knowledge of his profession which it displays, will meet with the reward to which they are well entitled. It is an ingenious and highly useful little work."-Literary Journal.

"The laws which govern the assemblage of different colours ought to be familiarly known to those who are employed to decorate our apartments. This is very clearly shown in a most meritorious brochure lately published, in which the author discusses the subject with equal taste and perspicuity. We anticipate the greatest benefit from this sensible and judicious performance."-Caledonian Mercury.

"There is no household art, however humble, but might be improved by a man of genius and taste exerting himself to substitute new for old modes of practice; and, of all arts, house painting assuredly stands in need of such purification. From such a work as Mr Hay's it is difficult to make a fair extract. We must content ourselves with recommending it to all gentlemen about to dictate the decorations of their houses."-Observer.

"This is a good practical treatise, and contains general instructions by which private individuals may benefit in the decoration of their apartments."-Evening Courant.

There is much room for the harmonious arrangement of colours in adorning our apartments, and we think many useful hints are given in this volume."-Saturday Post.

There has lately appeared a singularly judicious and simple little work on the Harmony and Effect of Colours in House Painting, by a Mr Hay, a practical man in Edinburgh. It is written with great good sense, united to simplicity and elegance. Its principles are capital, and susceptible' of adaptation to all circumstances and stations in society."-Glasgow Free Press.

IN THE PENINSULA.

By MAJOR LEITH HAY, F.R.S.E.

Printed for DANTEL LIZARS, Edinburgh; WHITTAKER, TREA CHER, and ARNOT, London; and W CURRY, jan. and Co., Dublin. "This Narrative is written in a very impartial and honest spirit, and, we may add, in a very pleasant one. The whole account of Sir John Moore's retreat is full of interest, and the subsequent one of his own capture and retreat with the French army is better than half the modern novels."-Athenæum.

"We recommend every person who has taste enough to enjoy the work of a gallant and intelligent soldier, descriptive of the achievements of his brethren in arms, and of his own personal adventures, to read this narrative."-Edinburgh Observer.

"We perused with delight this Narrative of a gentleman and a scholar; his descriptions of battles are the only ones which we have met with in modern times uniting the merit of being at once capable of instructing the military, and conveying accurate images to the general reader. Major Leith Hay's book is one which will be read extensively, and always with pleasure."-Edinburgh Literary Journal.

"We recommend these volumes to the perusal of the people of these realms, as a faithful and interesting memorial of the Duke of Wellington's achievements in the cause of his country-a record in which they will find evidence of achievements unrivalled in the annals of the world, in the cause of freedom."-New North Briton.

"This Narrative will be of essential service to the historian; and in the meantime must be both instructive and entertaining to the military reader, The writer is a man of intelligence, and we respect his authority."-Spectator,

"This very able work of Professor Jahn, one of the most learned of Continental biblical scholars, has long been a desideratum in the English language. No biblical student should be without it, and it may be read with interest and profit by the general enquirer."Monthly Review, June, 1829. See also Literary Gazette, August 1, 1829.

"The work when finished, will unquestionably be the completest yet published in this country on the subject of which it treats."Edinburgh Literary Journal.

Sir John Sinclair desires us to state, that in the narrative of a singular train of circumstances, connected with Mr Windham's excursion to Scotland, which has been quoted in this Journal, there are some mistakes, which it is proper to correct. He is assured, that it was another lady, and not Mrs Dick, who had an interview, first with Messrs Burke and Windham, and afterwards with Lord Melville. Mrs Dick, indeed, was then in the East Indies with her husband. He also finds that Doctor Dick did not owe his appointment to Lord Melville, and that he succeeded to Tullimet as a family inheritance. Even with these alterations, however, the narrative is peculiarly interesting.

MEETINGS OF LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC Societies durinG THE WEEK COMMENCING SATURDAY, 5TH FEBRUARY.-Wernerian Society-this day at two P. M. Royal Society-Monday, 7th February, at eight P. M.

ART AND ARTISTS.-We learn from the Court Journal, that "" until the accession of his present Majesty, the instructors of the Princess Victoria were nearly all German, but at present they are all English. Mr Westall superintends her studies in drawing." It is no doubt very gratifying to British artists to know, that the drawingmaster of her Royal Highness is an Englishman. But since this is a matter of so much consequence, why select the most soulless mannerist of the whole native school?-Charles Heath exhibited at the last meeting of the Artists' Conversazione a number of drawings by Turner, together with the engravings from them, designed for the forthcoming numbers of "England and Wales," of which report speaks highly.-Thorwaldsen has completed a monument, which is meant to be erected in the Campo Santo of Pisa, to the memory of the celebrated surgical professor, Vacca Berlinghieri. It is a bassorelievo of four figures, and represents young Tobias effecting the cure of his father's blindness.-The exhibition of the works of French artists commences on the 1st of April (an ominous day) in the Louvre.-At home here, Macdonald has completed his bust of Sir

minors. The King's Theatre opens to-day. A new ballet is in active preparation, in which Taglioni will appear-the music by Costa. Fazio, which was promised to the Edinburgh audience this week, has been delayed, in consequence, we believe, of Miss Jarman's indisposition.-Jones's benefit on Monday was, of course, a bumper. The play, "Wild Oats," is no great things; but the whole company were in excellent acting. Jones has since gone to Aberdeen to star it there.

bust of Dr Gordon, and a model of a fancy group, full of that delicate sensibility which is the most marked feature of his own character.Duncan has brought from Perth some fine portraits for the exhibition; he has out-strode our expectations.-Watson Gordon has a scene from the Talisman-the Knight of the Leopard's dog detecting the caitiff who had torn down the banner of England; and a fancy head of a lady, a fine sunny effect.-J. F. Williams has the best landscape he has yet painted.-We learn that the sketches and drawings of the late ingenious Hugh W. Williams are to be sold by auction next week. The collection contains much that is valuable for the artist; and many, we have no doubt, will be anxious to purchase some relic out of regard to the man. The number of studies which Mr W. has left behind him afford proof of the unwearied diligence with which he laboured in his profession.

CHIT-CHAT FROM PARIS.-Literature has not been much in vogue these few weeks, owing to the great interest taken in the Polish question, and the embarrassments under which our leading publishers are labouring. At the last sitting of the Académie des Sciences, Larry made an important communication respecting his method of curing some of the military wounded during the events of July, and the great difference in the consequences of gun wounds in the two parties; the soldiers' wounds assumed an unusual appearance, owing to the varied nature of the contents of guns fired upon them, while those of the citizens were such as all wounded have after a regular battle.-Baron Cuvier opened on the 4th his course of lectures, "Sur l'Histoire des Sciences Naturelles pendant le 18e siecle;" the lectures have been well attended.-The new doctrine, called Religion de St Simoinne, still continues to excite considerable interest. The number of converts is said to be very great.-Le Globe, last Tuesday, took the title of Journal de la Religion St Simoinne-the first page contained the Confession of Faith. -A work published within these few days, with the title of "La Fin du Monde, histoire du temps présent et des choses à venir, par Rey Dussueil," has excited discussion among our little literary men.Lessing's Letters upon the Religion of 1829, have just been translated from the German, and published here.-The 3d volume of Berzelius's Chemistry, translated from the Swedish, has just appeared.

His

Theatrical Gossip.-The case of the large winter theatres against Mr Arnold is still in dependence before the Lord Chancellor. lordship does not seem to have merged the critic in the judge, for he interrupted the course of the argument, by asking what stock pieces had lately been produced at the large theatres? "I mean a play that is acted frequently-a rational comedy, such as the School for Scandal, fit for the amusement of men and women." This was rather a poser,-only we cannot see its connexion with the question upon which he is called to decide. It is gratifying, however, to see the importance of the drama so decidedly acknowledged. At the moment that the whole nation is gaping for reform, and the ministers consulting about the most eligible plan, a dispute occurs between two rival theatres, and the most able of our statesmen must leave the council-table to decide between them.-Macready has revived William Tell at Drury-Lane with great applause. Kean was to have appeared at that Theatre on Monday, as Richard III. So much for affecting farewells.-Some new trifles have been produced at the

attending the University, that this day, at one o'clock, in the Lecture Room of Mr Liston and Dr Gregory, he will deliver Gratis the First LECTURE of his COURSE on FRENCH and ENGLISH COMPARATIVE PHILOLOGY and LITERATURE, Prizes for the two best French Essays will be awarded at the end of the Course.
