COLBURN and BENTLEY, London; and BELL and BRADFute, INSTITUTE OF ARCHEOLOGICAL CORRESPONDENCE AT ROME.This Society has been founded at Rome under the auspices of the hereditary Prince of Prussia. It receives as ordinary members (who contribute their designs and investigations to the labours of the Society, and two louis-d'or annually to its expenses) literary men and artists of every country in Europe. Amateurs are admitted as corresponding or honorary members. The object of the Society is to promote the study of the fine arts of antiquity. The members are divided into four sections, according to the four countries which are the richest fields of this study--Italy, Germany, England, and France. By degrees, as the Institute gains a firmer footing, sections will be established in like manner for Greece, Sweden, Holland, and Russia. Each section has attached to it one or more secretaries, who condense and arrange the communications, and manage the funds of the Society. The Italian, being the central section, holds regular sittings, and employs a permanent keeper of the Society's archives. The Institute proposes to publish annually twelve folio sheets of unpublished monuments, and forty sheets, in octavo, of archæological annals. These annals are to be divided into three parts; the first, containing monuments hitherto neglected or undiscovered; the second, archæological literature; the third, explanatory remarks. The articles are to be composed, or translated, into one of the three most generally understood languages-French, Italian, or Latin. Facts will be received with more pleasure from the correspondents than commentaries. This decided preference given to the collection of materials, in preference to hasty and crude speculation, hitherto the vice of antiquarians, conjoined with the extensive union, contemplated by the Institute, of the literary talent of Europe, promises well for archæology. the day!" To the credit of Perth taste, Duncan has had most extensive patronage.-Ryder has been performing during the race week with no better success than Jones. CHIT-CHAT FROM GALASHIELS.-We have a Suspension Bridge here across the Gala, which, it may not be generally known, was the first of the kind erected in Britain. We have ten woollen mills, for the manufacture of broad and narrow cloths, hosiery, flannels, plaid. ings, &c., which contain sixteen sets of engines, that run eleven hours per day, fabricating, upon an average, 576 stones of wool (24 lb. to the stone) per week, or 29,952 per annum. On account of the rise on wool this season, the value of what has been used through the year will amount, upon this ratio, to L.22,461. The quality of the cloth is greatly improved, the trade is always increasing, and at present every person is in full employ. The greater quantity of the goods are for home consumption, although, of late, some have been exported to North America, where they have met with decided encouragement. Flannels and blankets are also manufactured from foreign wool, not inferior to either English or Welsh goods; and, owing to the encouragement given by the Board of Trustees to the enterpri sing spirit of our manufacturers, the town stands pre-eminent for the manufacture of woollen cloth in Scotland. CHIT-CHAT FROM DUNFERMLINE.-You Edinburgh folks should follow our example in keeping down the flying stationers, not one of whom was allowed to bawl, within the precincts of our ancient burgh, the sentence or execution of Henderson, "that horrid criminal."-We have a party of actors here at present; a Mr Taylor is stage-manager. Miss Tunstall is so fond of displaying her musical powers, that, incidental to the play, she will sometimes favour us with no fewer than five songs a-breast. It is really wonderful to see what houses they command. I think, were a small compact theatre built here, and a good party to visit us annually, it might pay the proprietors well. CHIT-CHAT FROM DUNDEE.-On the 6th instant, about half past nine p. m., the Aurora Borealis was seen here. The sky appeared more serene and settled than it had been for some nights previous, the moon was brightly shining through rents in a few dim clouds, Theatrical Gossip.-Drury Lane is strong in the comic departand the stars seemed as bright and sparkling as during a night in ment. Dowton has appeared in the characters of Cantwell, Falstaff, winter. Such was the state of the heavens, when I perceived towards the and Old Hardy; Mrs Waylett in that of Letitia Hardy; and Liston pole, a small cloud spreading into fantastic shapes, curling and fold-in that of Mawworm. The orchestra is also excellent. Nothing ing itself backward and forward, and finally emitting a sheet of light resembling the rays of a candle flashing on the ceiling of a dark room. This burst was momentary; the light having returned to the body of the cloud, conducted a larger and a brighter sheet of flame than itself, which shot with immense velocity toward the zenith, advancing and retreating alternately over the trembling sky. This con. tinued for the space of two hours, probably until the cloud had ex. hausted its luminous matter, when the heavens became more serene and the stars began to sparkle with their usual brilliancy. It seemed to me, while looking attentively at the meteor, that I could discover a thin transparent substance spread between me and the stream of light, causing it to have that palish colour, which appears more like the shadow of lightning than that body itself. Whatever its cause is, we are pretty certain that it is a forerunner of rude and tempestuous weather. Our poets (for, you must know, we have poe's amongst us) have begun to shed their lustre on the skirts of our hebdomadals. Their first appearance was but a reflection of our gas light, on which a pretty distich was written. The same writer has since celebrated the late revival of the "Beautiful Order" in this our city of the Virgin, in a poem entitled the Dead Alive. In the way of literary attainments we are far behind. We have a few astronomers, antiquarians, and philosophers, but they are scarcely seen among the crowd of our good citizens. Butbide ye yet;" we are getting a new "set" to our burgh, and, consequently, a new bell will be rung, a new leaf turned, and a brighter cra begun. good weather, but no sport, no company, no dinners, no suppers, no balls, no indications of races, save a few Merry Andrews, pickpockets, and whisky tents. The death of the Duke of Athole is assigned as a reason for this falling-off, but we see that the No the ern Meeting has been just such another.-The second and last volume of Esdail's Lectures on the Shorter Catechism is announced. -The Rev. — Adam has published a small pamphlet in defence of Temperance Societies, to the review of which the Advertiser devoted a column or two. The author has since replied, and the reviewer re-replied. This subject, temperately discussed by such antagonists, will now be set at rest, so far as regards arguments-the odds at present are 3 to 1 on the reviewer.-T. Duncan has been spending some weeks in this his native city, engaged chiefly with a full-length portrait of Bailie Beatson, for the directors of Murray's Royal Lunatic Asylum. Our critics have been exhausting their vocabulary in its praise, but by far the best eulogy is that of an intimate friend of Mr Beatson. "Indeed," says he, "it is so like, that when I saw it first, I was on the point of saying, Weel, Bailie, how are ye Our correspondent does not state what is the precise nature of the Bailie's connexion with this institution. A new has yet been brought out-the directory is only mustering its troops. Mr Lee seems in danger of falling into the vulgar mistake of giving too much—he favoured the audience in one evening with nine acts, three grand overtures, and God save the King.-At Covent Garden, Charles Kemble seems inclined to rely exclusively upon the attractions of his daughter. The father and daughter are about to appear in a new play, entitled "The Jew of Arragon, or the Hebrew Queen," written by Mr Wade, author of " Woman's Love." Wood and Miss Paton are said to be negotiating with Covent Garden. The Adelphi received company for the first time in an elegant suit of blue and gold, which it intends to wear through the season. tremendous mystery was performed, called "The Black Vulture, or the Wheel of Death." The grand finale (a shower of fire) sputtered off by some accident behind the green curtain. The new version of " God save the King," sung at the opening of this house, is by Mr T. Arnold, son to him of the English Opera. This young gentleman is not exactly a debutant in the character of a song writer-some of his verses have been published, with accompaniments, under the assumed name of Hampden Napier." The Devil's Walk" has been dramatised at the Surrey-Moncrieff is the perpėtrator. The Italian Opera of Paris has opened for the season. Mme. Lalande and Zucchelli are the chief attractions.-Miss Smithson has been unfortunate in her engagement at the Opera Comique. Ducis, the late director, has failed, and his successor refuses to implement his engagements.-There is nothing worthy of note stirring in the provinces.-Our own theatre already presents external symptoms of progressing. Hay is painting the ornament for the roof. The strength of the company at the Caledonian is to be transferred to the legitimate establishment. We shall see whether their old patrons will laud them as furiously in their new, as they have done in their old places. We know these worthies of old, and shall not be surprised to find explicit (although not avowed) recantations. Somehow or other we are much more easy to please within the walls of a minor than of a patent theatre. We have proved ourselves steady, though not flattering friends to the manager-and never showed it more unequivocally than now, that we take the liberty of reminding him, that the parsimony which might be pardonable at the expiry, will not be allowed of at the commencement, of a patent's term. TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS. TAINTED AS we are with our nation's predisposition to melancholy, we dare not venture upon "Churchyard Musings" so near the gloomy month of November.-Our intelligent Correspondent in Perth will see we have availed ourselves of his information: we shall be happy to hear from him again.-Our Inverness Friend's favour was, by a mistake of the franker, sent to Liverpool, which occasioned the delay in the appearance of his article.-" L. D. C." scarcely comes up to our standard.-"X. Y.;" "J." of Glasgow; and " M." of Auchtermuchty, are under consideration.-Favours from some of our known Friends have come to hand.

TO OUR READERS. WE announced, some time ago, our intention of altering the shape and enlarging the size of the LITERARY JOURNAL; and we had a considerable number of specimens of the new quarto size printed and circulated among publishers and others, expecting to find them well pleased with the intended improvement. Instead of this, however, we have received so many strong remonstrances from all quarters against the proposed change, as tending to destroy the uniformity of our work, and to make it more unwieldy and heavy, that we have at length, although, we confess, with reluctance, seen the propriety of abandoning our plan. The great success which has all along attended our labours, made us anxious to prove to the public that we were not unworthy of the favour shown to us: but it appears to be the general opinion that we can do this best by going on exactly as we have done hitherto. The JOURNAL, as it at present exists, has taken a strong hold of the country: and people are naturally enough unwilling to see an old friend with a new face. Under these circumstances, we can only pledge ourselves to increase our exertions for the gratification of our numerous readers during the ensuing season, and to present them with Double Numbers as often as the interest of our literary materials may seem to call for them. The engraving of the Ettrick Shepherd, from Watson Gordon's - admirable picture, will form the frontispiece to the present volume. TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS. OUR reviews of Cooper's new novel, the "Water Witch," and also of Hazlitt's "Life of Napoleon," are unavoidably postponed till next Saturday-Notices of the Souvenir, the New Year's Gift, the Forgetme-Not, and the Juvenile Forget-me-Not, all of which Annuals are on our table, are also unavoidably postponed. The paper on the "Sacred Animals of Egypt," shall have a place. -"The Flower of the Forest" contains some good writing, but has been rather hastily composed.-We shall be glad to hear again from "D. S." of Ultima Thule.-" Recollections of a Parsonage" is in types. "Weep not for Her," by R. Shelton Mackenzie, in our next.— "The Poet's Death Song," by "H. S." of Inverkeithing, bears traces of much poetical feeling, but is unequal.-A similar remark applies to the verses entitled "Autumn, a Fragment"-" My Love is aye to me"-" Moonlight"-" To Fading Flowers"-" To my Son"-" I Saw"-and "Lines," by "R."-" Vox Populi," from Durbar, is clever, but too democratical for our taste." The Pilgrim's Prospect" is inadmissible. The anecdote of Robert Burns which appeared in our last, is quoted in the Scotsman of Wednesday from the Dumfries Courier, where we do not find it has yet been. This is scarcely fair, but must have arisen from some mistake. Price Six Shillings. Sir James Mackintosh's Dissertation on the Progress of Ethical Philosophy, was concluded in Part VII. The present Part contains a portion of Professor Playfair's Dissertation on Mathematical and Physical Science, and a continuation of the same subject by Professor Leslie will commence in Part IX. The Editor receives the support of the former contributors to the Supplement, which is embodied in the present edition. All the articles are thoroughly revised; many of them entirely re-written. The paper, typography, and embellishments, are of the first order, while the great reduction of price renders the present edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica the cheapest, as well as the most correct and beautiful, which has ever been offered to the public.

As works illustrative of this particular department of Natural History, they stand unrivalled. The habits of the Feathered Tribes, combined with the domestic history of the country by narratives replete with anecdote and topographical details, bring the reader not only into personal contact with the inhabitants, but introduce him successively to the firesides of the hardy citizens scattered throughout the vast forests and prairies of a remarkable portion of the New World:-forming together perhaps one of the most delightful and popular scientific works in the English language.
