THE ATLAS: A General Newspaper and Jour

nal of Literature.

This Publication, which may be justly called a Weekly Encyclopadia of Politics, Literature, Arts, and Sciences, has now completed its Third Volume.

It was a novelty in our literature to concentrate in a seven-day Journal the characteristics of the higher class of periodicals, combined at the same time with the spirit of all the popular topics that mark the progress of political and domestic events-the news and knowledge of the day. Au undertaking so responsible in its nature, and so comprehensive in its design, demanded greater means, mechanical and mental, than had ever before been ap plied to a similar purpose. It was accordingly commenced with liberality, and conducted with energy. Public approbation enables the Proprietors to add, that it has been rewarded with unequalled patronage. Anxious at once to acknowledge the flattering favours with which THE ATLAS has been received, and to show that they have endeavoured to gather from experience every suggestion that was calculated to increase the utility and interest of their plan, the Proprietors beg to submit an outline of its general features, and the recent improvements that have been introduced into its pages.

8. SCIENTIFIC NOTICES, or descriptions of all improvements in Mechanics and the experimental Sciences, illustrated occasionally by diagrams, with an account of New Patents, Meteorological Tables, &c.

The Literary division of THE ATLAS in its various branches, has formed an era in the class of publications in which it ranks; and exhibits a remarkable union of the essential features of the more elaborate Reviews, with the popular and practical objects of the General Newspaper.

The attention that is observed in the purity of language and selection of subjects, down to the minutest paragraph in THE ATLAS, recommends it especially to the use of families and the guardians of youth; and the copious details it affords of Military and Naval affairs, invest it with valuable attractions for the members of those professions, and the residents in the colonies.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

The character and circulation of THE ATLAS render it peculiarly desirable as a medium for ADVERTISEMENTS; but as only a limited space can be devoted to their reception, the Proprietors beg to suggest the necessity of transmitting in the early part of the week such Advertisements as require immediate insertion.

THE ATLAS is published in two Editions; the first on Saturday Evening in time for post, and is received on Sunday at the disMorning, containing, specially reported, the whole News of Satance of nearly 200 miles from London; the second on Sunday turday up to Midnight.

Published by the Proprietor, JAMES WHITING, at THE ATLAS Office, Beaufort House, Beaufort Buildings, Strand, London.Price Is. Orders received by all Newsmen throughout the Kingdom.

DOUBLE THE SIZE OF "THE ATLAS," Price One Shilling,

THE NEW MAGNA CHARTA, containing the late Debates and Proceedings in both Houses of Par liament, on a Single Sheet, equal to the size of The DOUBLE ATLAS, presenting a surface of nearly Forty-one square Feet; to which is added, an Appendix of valuable Documents connected with the present condition of the Catholics in the United Kingdom; and authentic copies of the Relief Bill and the Irish Elect

THE ATLAS is divided into two principal departments-News and Literature; and these are subdivided and classified with care and industry into heads of easy reference, so that each particular subject is preserved distinct and entire. The extraordinary dimensions of the sheet, which folds into sixteen large quarto-ive Franchise Bill. sized pages, containing forty-eight columns, affords this classification facilities which no other publication possesses.

NEWS.

1. THE POLITICIAN-a selection of the best leading articles from all the Journals, daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly, upon all questions of public interest; preserving in a small compass the striking opinions and commentaries that lie scattered throughout numerous and expensive publications.

2. PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES, copiously reported. 3. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS-a digest of all parliamentary documents of obvious reference and popular utility.

4. FOREIGN NEWS-the current events that take place in foreign countries, arranged in the form of historical narrative, collated carefully from contemporay authorities, and distributed under the heads of the different countries and colonies to which they belong.

5. BRITISH NEWS-a clear epitome of all domestic occurrences, under the various heads of Trade, Agriculture, Public Meetings, Accidents and Offences, Police, Proceedings in the Courts of Law and Sessions, Court and Fashionable News, Church and University Intelligence, Military and Naval Affairs copiously given, the Money Market, and the miscellaneous news of the week up to midnight on Saturday; the local news of Ireland and Scotland, written out into separate heads. In the conduct of this department of THE ATLAS, recourse is had to many exclusive sources of information, and correspondents have been established, who furnish expressly the latest intelligence. The Gazettes and Tables of Markets, and all other matters interesting to the Commercial World, are especially attended to. Preserving a strict neutrality in its editorial capacity, THE ATLAS affords a faithful reflection of the opinions and proceedings of all parties.

LITERATURE.

The contributions to this department are from the pens of Pro fessors and Gentlemen of acknowledged reputation, and are classified under the following heads.

1. ORIGINAL ESSAYS, AND MEMORANDA ON MEN AND THINGS, embodying a lively commentary on passing events, and men and manners.

2. THEATRICAL CRITICISMS upon the written and acted Drama, in which both are reviewed in a spirit of truth and perfect candour.

3. NOTES OF A LAWYER, comprising the opinions of eminent Pleaders upon curious and useful points of law, exemplified by real cases, in which the names of the parties are suppressed.

4. REVIEWS of all new works of ability, with numerous extracts. Independent, and free from all literary and personal prejudices, the opinions of the Reviewers in THE ATLAS may be consulted with confidence in their integrity.

5. LITERARY MEMORANDA, notes of all novelties in literature abroad and at home.

6. MUSIC AND MUSICIANS, or scientific criticisms on vocal and instrumental performers, operas, and new music, on the Continent as well as in England, with occasional engraved illustrations.

Printed at the Atlas Press.

This important Record is published on a single Sheet of Paper, presenting a surface of nearly FORTY-ONE SQUARE FEET, being the same size as the late Double Sheet of THE ATLAS Newspaper, which was of greater magnitude than any before issued from the Press. It embraces a copious and carefully corrected Report of the great Debates on the Catholic Question in both Houses of the Legislature, commencing with His Majesty's Message, on the 5th of February, 1829, and terminating with the Third Reading of the Relief Bill in the House of Peers.

To this ample Report is appended the following Documents under the head of an Appendix. 1. Authentic Copy of the Relief Bill. 2. Authentic Copy of the Irish Elective Franchise Bill. 3. Abstract of the Progress of the Relief Bill through both Houses of Parliament in the Session of 1829. 4. Tables of the Majorities and Minorities; distinguishing in both Houses the names of those Members who formerly voted against, and recently for, the Measure; and in the Table of the House of Commons distinguishing the County, City, Borough, &c. for which each Member was returned, in order to exhibit more clearly the state of representative feeling. 5. A statistical Document on the present condition of the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom, arranged under the several heads of Population, Ecclesiastical Government, Chapels, Education, Nobility, and Gentry. 6. A Tabular Digest of all the Proceedings that have taken place in Parliament on the subject of Emancipation, from its first introduction in 1778 to the present time. The whole affording in a brief compass a copular

HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC QUESTION. This gigantic sheet not only affords a remarkable proof of the improved mechanical powers of the Press, but presents the most comprehensive Parliamentary document that has ever been offered to the public. For all the purposes of record, and reference, and popular information on a question that has agitated Great Britain for the last fifty years, it will be found complete in its details, lucid in its plan, and economical in its price. It contains in solid matter as much as four or five of the most elaborate reports of a daily journal, or the contents of three octavo volumes; and its great capacity enables it to embrace all the minor points of interest connected with an event that will be remembered by posterity as the most important in modern history. As it is pub lished merely as a pamphlet, it is unstamped, and must, therefore, be sent into the country in the way such publications usually are-in parcels, or by private conveyance.

The extraordinary demand that was made for THE ATLAS Newspaper on the 22d of March, issued on a sheet double its ordinary size, and the continued applications that have been since made for copies of that publication, have induced the Proprietors to offer to the public the present opportunity of obtaining a mechanical production presenting still higher claims upon their at tention.
