 Life, upon which the Poet has been occupied ever since her decease. He has 

 just completed his interesting task, and the work may be expected to be through 

 the press in the course of the ensuing month. 



A pamphlet entitled " The Bread Tax Exposed, being a word addressed to 

 Agriculturalists and Manufacturers on the Corn Laws," has just appeared, and 

 we doubt not will tend much to the dissipation of error that prevails respecting 

 the policy of removing the most obnoxious of imposts. " The Bread Tax Ex- 

 posed," is written in a style the very antithesis of unintelligence. Its argu- 

 ments are vigourous and conclusive ; its statistics ample and satisfactory ; and 

 its whole arrangement at once perspicuous and concise. For the sum of 2d. the 

 reader will be more enlightened by this little tract than any similar priced pub- 

 lication we have met with.
