possess an extensive range of its own, without infringing materially on other departments of delineative process. The Game-Keeper.-A portrait of old John Giffen, the under-keeper of East Hainault Walk, in Waltham Forest, constitutes another specimen of lithography, by the same artist, entitled to similar praise. We can hardly imagine execution superior to that which is here displayed. Lodge's Portraits.-We have so frequently noticed, and in terms of such deserved praise, the progress of this admirable work, that to announce the contents of its Numbers, as they successively appear, is all that can be required of us. No. XV. presents the following portraits:-Sir Kenelm Digby; Henry, Prince of Wales; Charles Howard, Earl of Nottingham; John Knox; and Richard Weston, Earl of Portland. Excepting the Prince of Wales, by Mytens, these are all from paintings by Vandyke. The engravers are G. Kellaway, J. Jenkins, E. Scriven, and R. Cooper. Blore's Monumental Remains.―This work, which we have repeatedly noticed, has reached its Fourth Part, containing delineations of the following subjects:-the Monument of Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, from Beauchamp Chapel, Warwick ;-that of John Gower, the poet, from St. Saviour's Church, Southwark ;-that of Wykeham of Winchester; The Rivers of England.-The Fifth No. of this work, which has been some time in the course of publication, is now before us. The engravings are in mezzotinto upon steel, by Reynolds, Bromley, and Say, from original drawings by A. M. Turner, R. A., and the late Thomas Girtin. The names and merits of the designers are too justly appreciated to require any eulogy from us; and, we believe, the same may be said of the engravers. The present No., containing Broughton Castle, near the Junction of the Rivers Eamont and Low--and the monuments of Edward III. and Ayther, after a Shower, by Turner-Bolton Ab- mer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, from Westbey, on the River Wharfe, a Twilight View,minster Abbey.—We are very glad to perceive by Girtin-and Dartmouth, on the river Dart, in full Sunlight, by Turner - is at least equal in excellence to any of its predecessors. Every admirer of the beautiful, the impressive, and the sublime in nature, ought to patronize this publication. that a work so truly valuable in its nature, and so respectable in its execution, proceeds more regularly in its course of publication than at first. Views on the Rhine.-The Ninth No. of this work contains views of Drachenfels, Oudekerk, Delft, Meckarsteinach, and Heidelberg. Literary and Scientific Intelligence. CAPTAIN PARRY, commander of the late Polar expedition, arrived at the Admiralty on the 16th of October, having left his ship, the Hecla, off Peterhead. His third attempt to discover a north-west passage has been defeated. The expedition left the coast of West Greenland on the 4th of July 1824, but was entangled two months amongst the ice in Davis's Straits so that it was late in the season before it reached Lancaster's Sound. The ships got to Burrow's Straits only in time to winter. With difficulty they made Port Bowen in Prince Regent's Inlet, where they were laid up between the 25th of September and the 6th of October, and remained till the 19th of July last. On the 1st of August, while working along towards the south, the Fury, Capain Hoppner, was driven ashore by the ice and wrecked. This disaster occurred at the very time when the air, water, and ice all promised an easy progress into the Polar Sea. Three weeks were arduously spent in endeavouring to save the Fury, but in vain; and the crew and principal stores were taken on board the Hecla, which thus encumbered immediately made sail homeward, and arrived off the Scottish coast on the 10th of October, all well. They have returned with out the loss of a man, excepting two sailors, one of whom died of illness previously contracted, and the other lost his life by an accident. It is understood that another vessel is to be prepared instead of the Fury, for the purpose of proceeding with the Hecla, early next spring, to endeavour to communicate with Captain Franklin, in the Polar Seas. Letters from Captain Franklin state the arrival of the expedition under his orders at Lake Winnipeg early in June, whence they intended to proceed to Bear Lake. All the parties were in perfect health, and the season had been extremely mild and open. Captain J. D. Cochrane, whose extraordinary pedestrian travels in Russia lately attracted so much notice, died at Columbia on the 12th of August. The Lords of the Treasury have awarded the sum of £200 for the relief of Mrs. Belzoni, the widow of the celebrated traveller; and a subscription in her behalf has been opened. Allan, the painter, has a picture in hand from the ballad of "Auld Robin Gray;"Stothard has taken for a subject " The Flitch of Bacon ;"-and Calcott is employed upon a View of the Port of Antwerp. On the 9th of October, the monument of the late Princess Charlotte, erected in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, was first opened to public view. Chantrey has just completed the erection of a beautiful monument in the Bishop's Chapel, Worcester Cathedral, to the memory of Mrs. Digby. The report that there were two or three original letters of Shakspeare amongst the Dorset papers, has been contradicted.-The Duke of Devonshire, it is said, means to publish a fac-simile reprint of his Hamlet of 1604, formerly in the possession of the late J. P. Kemble, Esq. The copyright of all Goethe's works has lately been purchased by a great publishing firm in Germany, for the sum of 1,000 francs. The remainder of Lord Byron's MSS. have arrived in London, and are said to have been placed at the joint disposal of Mr. Leigh and Mr. Hobhouse.

THE Correction of the Memoirs illustrating the Portrait of Lady Emily Pusey not having arrived sufficiently early for the present Number, the insertion of the article is unavoidably postponed till our next. Extended reviews of several recent works of interest, and of others on the point of publication, are reserved for our Supplementary Number, which will contain also a Title Page and Index to the Volume-an Address to Subscribers-a Summary of Fashions for the last half-year, &c. We have the honour to announce, that, amongst the Portraits now in the hands of our engravers, and in a state of the greatest forwardness for the ensuing volume of La BELLE ASSEMBLEE, are the following:-THE COUNTESS OF SURREY, from an original painting by Sir Thomas Lawrence, P.R.A. ;-LADY GEORGIANA ELLIS, from a painting by Jackson;-THE DOWAGER DUCHESS OF RICHMOND, from a family miniature by Miss Kendrick ;-THE COUNTESS OF JERSEY, from an original painting by Sir Thomas Lawrence, &c.-The re-engraved portrait of LADY GRANTHAM, from a miniature by Miss Kendrick, will be ready, together with the portrait of the COUNTESS OF SURREY, for the first Number of the Third Volume of LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE, to be published on the first of January. We hope to gratify the readers of LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE, next month, with " Rambles in the Land of Hafiz," a production by one of the first female writers of the age. MR. BRANDRETH's beautiful poem, "Lines written at Bourdeaux," shall appear in our next. We expect also to have the pleasure of inserting in our next the analytical critique on Jouy's Tragedy of Belisarius, with translated extracts. We shall, in the course of a few days, forward a private communication to our friend "GREGORY SCRIBLERUS." "Mas H." will please to accept our best thanks for her " Sketches, No. I.—Rosaline," which shall very promptly appear. Does our good friend, “Miss E. R." adopt our suggestion? The "Tales" communicated by " SOPHIA" shall experience the attention requested by their fair author. "The Warrior's Dirge" was, as its author suspects, inserted in LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE (No. IV.) some months ago. Lines to W- ," commencing, "No more I'll twine these roses red," appeared in No. VIII. The blank verse of " A Sister's Love" is, we are sorry to say, very blank indeed: in truth, the greater part of it can hardly be termed verse at all. The composition of blank verse is infinitely more difficult than young writers are in general aware of. "J. B. B." is requested to observe, that we insert no more of his communications unless we have the assurance that they are sent to us exclusively. To string verses together, and then send them to two or three or more publications at the same time, is a very pitiful and unworthy sort of ambition. The communication entitled " Bologna," has been returned by post to the author. The lady should not have subjected us to the expense of postage. For general, as well as for particular information, we beg leave to state, that peremptory instructions have been left at our publisher's to refuse all letters that may not be Post-paid. One good turn deserves another. If the Leicester Square exhibitor, who seems very anxious to have his turn served, had met our request, not as a matter of favour, but as a matter of common courtesy, we would have met his cheerfully.
