 bert. Royal 4to.

Mrs. Cornwell Baron Wilson (the justly populai- Editress of the 

 " Belle Assemble,") is preparing for the press — at the kind suggestion 

 of her wide circle of literary and other friends, — a New and Complete 

 Edition of her Songs and Poems. We shall be glad to receive an early 

 copy of this forthcoming volume. 



Mr. Leitch Ritchie has nearly finished a historical Romance in three 

 volumes, to be called " The Magician." The scene is in France — the 

 epoch, the end of the English dominion in the fifteenth century — and 

 the main interest of the story arises out of circumstances connected with 

 the favourite studies of the period. Alchemy and Magic. 



LITERARY OBITUARY. 



Died, in November last, aged 4 months, the infantile bantling of 

 Peter Gaskill, Esq., which had been most happily christened by the late 

 very rev. and learned Dr. Slop — "The Constitutional Magazine." The 

 sudden demise of this truly excellent miscellany has been remarked 

 upon by all classes of the king's subjects. We hope Mr. Gaskill may 

 be consoled under this severe affliction. We sincerely wish Mr. Gaskill 

 every possible success in his future undertakings. 



Died, early last week, in Warwick Square, in the house of a printer, 

 all that remained of " The Christian's Weekly Journal ;" which, from 

 the commencement, had been most benevolently edited ^by the self-Rev. 

 Josiah Penny, late of the Devonport Porter Brewery ; and formerly of 

 the Colchester Gazette ; and still more recently of the Devonport Inde- 

 pendent. Among the " Christians," we believe the reverend and pious 

 editor will be found wanting. It is but bare justice to Mr. Penny's 

 talents to state, that we think him better fitted for the pulpit he has pre- 

 sumed to occupy, at Islington (we believe), than for any other occupation 

 of the kind.
