LITERARY NEWS.-WORKS IN PROGRESS.

Mr. Bulwer has just committed to the press the work to which he alluded in his last Publication "The Student," and on which he has been so long engaged; it is, we believe, entitled, "Athens; its Rise and Fall, with Views of the Arts and Sciences, the Literature and Commerce of the Athenian People."

Miss Landon has, we hear, nearly completed the printing of her new Poem, "The Vow of the Peacock," illustrating, it will be recollected, the beautiful Picture by Madame Lise, in the Exhibition of the Royal Academy.

Dr. Hogg's interesting Travels in the East, entitled a Visit to Alexandria, Damascus, &c. will appear early in the present month.

Mr. Chorley, whose lively Sketches of a Sea-port Town have been so much admired, has in the press a Series of Tales, the Scene of which is, we believe, chiefly laid in Italy.

Mr. Grimshawe's beautiful edition of Cowper is drawing near its conclusion. The Eighth Volume, which is now ready, contains a beautiful Portrait of the late Rev. Dr. Johnson, Cowper's kinsman, and a beautiful View of the Rustic Bridge at Weston.

The author of " Pictures of Private Life," Miss Stickney, will shortly present to the public a work of an original character, entitled "The Poetry of Life."

A Second Edition of Mr. Bulwer's new work, "The Student," will appear in a few days.

The Third Edition of that elegant little work, "The Language of Flowers," Forget Me Not," has just apmuch improved, and revised by the Editor of the " peared.

The Rev. Robert Montgomery has nearly ready for publication, a Fourth Edition, revised, of his powerfully conceived work, entitled "Satan, a Poem."

Mrs. Jameson has just committed to the press, a new Edition, being the Third, of her much admired work, "The Characteristics of Women.'

The Second and concluding volume of M. de Tocquiville's interesting work, “Democracy in America," translated by his friend, Mr. Reeve, with a Map of the United States, is now ready.

A History of English Literature, Critical and Philosophical, by Mr. D'Israeli. A new edition of the works of Sir John Suckling, with a Life of the Author, and Critical Remarks on his Writings and Genius. By the Rev. Alfred Suckling, LL.B.

66

Early in the ensuing season may be expected "Practical Observations on Midwifery;" containing the Result of 16,414 Deliveries, occurring in the Dublin Lying-in-Hospital, during a Period of Seven Years, commencing November 1826. By Robert Collins, M.D. late Master of the Institution.

Graphics: a Manual of Drawing and Writing, for the Use of Schools and Families. By R. Peale.

Tables of Discount, Net Proceeds, per-centage Profits upon the Sale of Goods, on a New Plan of Arrangement. By David Booth, author of the "Interest Table," &c. 2d edition.

An interesting volume, entitled "Recollections of the Private Life of General Lafayette," is about to be published by Messrs. Galignani, of Paris. It is written by his friend and surgeon, M. H. Cloquett, who was furnished with the materials by the General himself. An English Edition, translated under the eye of the author, will be published in London on the same day the original will appear in Paris.

Among the novelties, for the forthcoming season, we have to announce a New work to be called the English Annual, two volumes of which have already appeared, but the whole of the Editions have been exported to America and the Continent. The volume, in consequence of certain facilities, which the proprietor exclusively enjoys, will be offered in a form considerably larger and cheaper than similar publications, and in all respects equal to them in its graphic and literary contents. The Oriental Annual for 1836, by the Rev. H. Caunter, B.D., will exceed either of its predecessors, in the variety and beauty of the illustrations from the pencil of W. Daniell, Esq. R.A., as the great success of the last two years has encouraged the Proprietor to spare no expense to render it still more worthy of public patronage.

The interesting Travels and Adventures in Eastern Africa of Nathaniel Isaacs, Esq., are nearly ready.

FINE ARTS.

Stanfield's Coast Scenery, a Series of Views in the British Channel, and on the Coasts of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, and Germany, and other Picturesque Portions of the European Continent. By CLARKSON STANFIELD, Esq. R. A. Smith, Elder, and Co., Cornhill.

This third number contains, firstly, a view of "Porchester Castle." It is beautifully drawn and engraved, but is not naturally very striking. There are many historical associations connected with this ruin, that give it ample claims to be celebrated by a pencil so skilful as that of Stanfield's. The second view, that of the "Needles," is particularly happy and impressive; the distribution of the light and shade, and the flowing of the troubled sea, are beyond praise. The sky has rather a massive appearance, evidently the fault of the engraver. The next plate, "Stonehouse Bridge," Plymouth, will be immediately recognizable by every one who has visited that spot. It is a good production, though the features of the scenery are homely. The last engraving, the approach to "St. Malo," is a plate of the highest

merit, and is honourable both to the painter and the engraver. This number is a very superior one, and gives us an earnest of the excellence that is to come. The letter-press is very appropriate. It seems almost a sin against patriotism not to possess oneself of a work so peculiarly national.

A Series of Heads, after the Antique Illustrations of the Ideal Beauty of the Greeks, and designed as a Drawing Book for advanced Pupils, accompanied by descriptive Letter Press, drawn and executed on Stone, by BENJAMIN RICHARD GREEN. Rowney and Co. Rathbone Place.

A youthful "Hercules," in the British Museum, affords the first model for this finely executed number. It is extremely well shadowed, and smoothly grained. Esculapius," from the Louvre, is a fine personification of intelligent age. In the "Isis," from the Capitolini Museum, the returning light under the chin appears to us to be too broad, which gives the features a pinched up appearance. "6 Pluto, or Serapis," from the Vatican, is a splendid head, and extremely well lithographed. These heads must form very valuable studies for the portrait painter, whether in oils or miniature. It is such models as these that should be presented to the tyro, and not the crude, and often ill drawn faces that we generally see in drawing-books.

THE COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF THE COUNTRY. As far as the hand of God can benefit us, we are, with reference to the harvest, a happy people. As to our external commerce, it is generally speaking, languishing. Owing to the injudicious measure adopted towards our slave colonies, there will be a great deficiency in the usual imports from the West Indies, many ships returning from thence but half laden, and some actually in ballast. The British Canadas also seem inclined to look out for a better market than that afforded to them by the mother country, to which they owe all their prosperity. The continental and northern nations are all striving to set up for themselves, and to put us aside. Russia will soon entirely monopolize the trade of the Levant, and our trade to the far east seems exceedingly precarious. This is a dismal picture, but much of its sombre colouring we owe to the liberal Whigs. At home there will always be, while the nation remains so populous, great domestic consumption, and an extensive inland trade. Our manufactures that supply the foreign market, are certainly doing a great deal of business at the least possible profits to the masters, and at starvation wages for the mechanics and labourers. We fear much that a great crisis is at hand. As to the shipping interest, it is in a deplorable state of decadence.
