Previous to the opening of the New Parliament, the SPECTATOR ventured to predict that the Session would be distinguished in a remarkable manner by the important results af its deliberations. The country know how this has already been realised; and it looks forward with anxious interest to the labours of the remain. ing portion of the Session. The Spectator, as a watcher and expositar of events, will continue to bestow upon parliamentary subjects the same searching scrutiny as heretofore; and will narrate, with clearness and impartiality, the whole proceedings of beth Houses, after its own peculiar method-a method which has been much approved, as communicating the greatest amount of accurate information at the least cost of time to the reader. The Aattering success which has attended the recent exertions of the Spectator (its regular weekly sale having, since the commence. ment of the Session, increased by nearly 1,400 copies) justifies perseverance in the same course, and will stimulate to increased activity in every part of its comprehensive plan. The Proprietors pledge themselves that no pains or cost shall be spared to render the Spectator the first newspaper of the kind in this Country. 4, Wellington Street, Strand. HE TH MUSIC.

The Privy Purse Expenses of Elizabeth, the Consort of Henry the Seventh, in the last year of her life, contain notices of the sums paid for her travelling expenses, for her clothes, for the furniture of her palaces, for her jewels, for the support of her feels and minstrels, for her losses at cards, dice, and other games, for the attendance of her physicians, for the wages of priests, for gratuities to persons who brought presents, for her religious duties, and for the support of her sisters and their children, &c. many of which throw much light upon her personal character. The Wardrobe Accounts of Edward the Fourth are chiefly valuable for elucidating the manners, dresses, and furniture of eur incestors in the fifteenth century, more particularly in relatien to the Court, and to persons of rank; and for the composition of historical pictures, and for the stage. The Memoirs of Elizabeth of York and of her sisters, and the Introductory remarks which are prefixed to the volume, present tea facts, and, it is presumed, correct many important errors in the history of the reigns of Edward the Fourth, Richard the Third, and Henry the Fourth-Preface.
