A Tale of the Reign of Queen Mary. By JOHN GALT, Esq. "A tale of great and varied interest."-Court Journal. "The period of the reign of Mary Queen of Scots is rich in materials for the Novelist. The fortunes of Chatelar-the life and loves of Darnley-the history of Morton and the conspirators-and the strange story of the Italian musician, are all replete with interest of the highest order."—Atlas. III. WALTER COLYTON. A Tale of the Reign of James II. By the Author of " Brambletye House," "The New Forest," &c. In 3 vols. post 8vo. "The principal characters in this work consist of the Prince of Orange; Mary, the daughter of James; one of the Sydneys; Sir Charles Sedley, and his daughter the Countess of Dorchester; Judge Jeffreys, and other ruling spirits of that day. A period more pregnant with events and absorbing interest, both as to character, incidert, and national importance, could not possibly have been chosen." -Courier. IV. THE DENOUNCED.

T THE ENGLISH AT HOME. By the Author of "The English in Italy," "The English in France," &c. In 3 vols. post Svp.

THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. The distinguished favour with which this Periodical has been received since its commencement, not only by the two Services to which it is more immediately addressed, but by the public in general, is not a little gratifying to the Proprietors, inasmuch as they consider it a proof that the execution of the work has met with general approbation. Assuredly every true lover of his country, in perusing the details of operations that led to the triumphs achieved by a Nelson and a Wellington-in reading narratives of individual heroism and suffering-in participating, as it were, in the exploits of our gallant Soldiers and Sailors in every quarter of the globe-in short, in tracing the progress of those events which have conferred such lustre on the British arms-roust feel a deep and anxious interest. But in securing to their Journal the various advantages it has hitherto possessed, the Proprietors have made considerable sacrifices by having repeatedly exceeded the proper limits, without however being able to do full justice to their numerous and valuable contributors. Under these circumstances they have determined to enlarge the plan and price of their work to the same extent as those of the New Monthly Magazine, so that, like that popular periodical, each year of the United Service Journal will in future consist of three volumes. By these means they trust they shall be enabled to render their Journal still more worthy of public favour, as they shall thus obtain space for many additional valuable communications, and be enabled to open new and important channels of information both at home and abroad.

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. A retrospect of the progress of the New Monthly Magazine, during the present year, has been a source of gratification to its proprietors: but, although they hope and believe that no prominent defect has existed, they conceive that the work may be improved by adding one or two new features to those by which it is already distinguished, and by increased activity in its general management. The New Monthly Magazine will therefore commence the year 1831 with renewed claims to that public support it has so long enjoyed. Among other improvements it is the intention of the Proprietors to introduce into the Magazine a series of Literary Sketches, or esti. mates of the genius of the principal authors of the present day, accompanied by engraved likenesses. As, in these times of intellectual fertility, the series must include many writers comparatively new to fame, the plan must be admitted to possess some novelty. The Proprietors pledge themselves to the most unremitting exertions in continuing to secure the co-operation of the most able and popular writers of the age; and the contributors may feel assured of being permitted the most perfect freedom from undue restraint in conveying their opinions to the public. With regard to the Politics of the Magazine, the proprietors feel it scarcely necessary to state that it will persevere in the course it has so long and so invariably maintained. If its sentiments generally accord with those of the individuals who at present influence the des tinies of the country, it is because the government has happily taken the form which, for years, has been considered in the pages of the New Monthly Magazine, as most conducive to the best interests of Great Britain. It is, however, less to men than to measures that its support will be extended;-it will ever be the advocate of such principles as are consistent with reason and experience, and have the sanction of the great and good of all nations. The sentiments of the great mass of the British people will be echoed freely and boldly, influenced by no other considerations than those of wisdom and justice. N.B.-The First Number for the New Year will be published on the 1st of January, and those who desire to avail themselves of the occasion for commencing the Work are requested to transmit their orders to their respective booksellers or news-venders.

The Society have been particularly fortunate in the selection of their deputation; for while Capt. Gordon excels in stating matters of fact, and reasoning from them, Mr Armstrong possesses a vivid imagination, and often breaks upon his hearers with bursts of eloquence, which, if not altogether logical arguments, are far more calculated to arouse the dormant energies of those already convinced of the soundness of his views.
