THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL,

AND

NAVAL AND MILITARY MAGAZINE.

The ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC, and particularly that of the UNITED SERVICES, is respectfully invited to this NEW PERIODICAL, which was commenced on the 1st of January, 1829, in Monthly Numbers, price 2s. 6d. each, and embraces subjects of such extensive variety, and of such powerful interest, as must render it scarcely less acceptable to the well-informed Civilian, than to the Members of those Professions for whose use it is more peculiarly intended.

Independently of a succession of ORIGINAL PAPERS on innumerable interesting subjects, PERSONAL NARRATIVES, CORRESPONDENCE, ANECDOTES, &c. each Number comprises BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS Of EMINENT OFFICERS-REVIEWS of NEW PUBLICATIONS, either immediately relating to the Army and Navy, or involving subjects of utility or interest to the members of either-PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS, as far as they relate to Naval or Military affairs-TRIALS by COURTS MARTIAL, GENERAL ORDERS, CIRCULARS, &c.-DISTRIBUTION of the ARMY and NAVY— PROMOTIONS and APPOINTMENTS-BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, OBITUARY and MISCELLANIES, NAVAL and MILITARY, comprehending such brief Notices, Professional, Literary, and Scientific, as cannot with propriety be arranged under the preceding heads. Among the numerous original Papers given in Nos. 1 to 6 already published, will be found the following.

PERSONAL NARRATIVES.

Waterloo before and after the Battle-Storming of Cuidad Rodrigo-The Battle of Navarino Storming of Badajoz-Cutting out, a Galley Story-The Battle of Salamanca-The Battle of Quatre Bras-The Battle of Trafalgar-Escalade of the Castle of Badjoz-The English at Valenciennes-A Hussar's Life on Service-The Campaign in Portugal, under Sir Arthur Wellesley, in 1809-Sketch of the Battle of AthensFrom Waterloo to Paris, in 1815. There will also be found the following BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS-Captain Sir William Hoste, Bart.-Sir Henry Calvert, Bart.Lieutenant-Colonel Denham-Major-General Ross-The late Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly, &c. &c.

It would be impossible, within the narrow compass of this announcement, to enumerate all the subjects which this miscellany is designed to embrace. The Publisher will only therefore add, that it is conducted by Officers in his Majesty's Service, who have ensured the effective co-operation of gentlemen of high professional and literary character, and that it will be uniformly animated by the same ardent spirit of patriotism and loyalty, which achieved the triumphs of Trafalgar and of Waterloo.

TESTIMONY IN FAVOUR OF THIS WORK.

"This is a most able and interesting miscellany-the more so, as it has taken up a department of periodical literature hitherto almost entirely neglected. It certainly is a subject of surprise that the Army and Navy of Great Britain-to which the country owe so large a share of its pre-eminent prosperity and glory-should not have possessed a separate and appropriate Magazine, as a channel for their communications, and as a record of their proceedings, improvements, and exploits. No profession is more exposed to vicissitudes, perils, and adventure, and consequently, none affords so abundant a supply of amusing anecdote. What can be so interesting, not merely to the profession, but to the general reader, as the narratives of battles and sieges- the moving accidents by flood and field'-of which the recent annals of British warfare furnish so many memorable instances? We are pleased, therefore, to see the present attempt to supply this deficiency-to concentrate, as it were, in one focus, the scattered rays of information, and furnish a repository for the preservation of many valuable details relative to the UNITED SERVICE."

MR. COLBURN has just commenced the publication of a

NEW WEEKLY PAPER, called

THE COURT JOURNAL.

THE leading and peculiar object of this Paper is to supply what has long been felt as a desideratum in the Higher Circles of the British Metropolis. Its pages will furnish a mingled Record and Review of all matters and events, (Political subjects alone excepted,) which are calculated to interest that class of readers who come within what is understood by The Court Circle." Such will be the peculiar, but by no means the sole object of the COURT JOURNAL. It will, in fact, embrace every feature which favourably distinguishes the most approved Literary Journals of the day.

In conformity with the peculiar views and objects of the COURT JOURNAL, reports and notices will be regularly furnished on all the most conspicuous matters and events connected with Court and Fashionable Society.

Among the regular Weekly Reports on passing matters, those meeting with marked notice will be the Italian Opera, the English Drama, the French Plays, the Concerts, all important Exhibitions connected with the Fine Arts; Scientific and Literary Meetings, Original Reports from Foreign Countries, &c. &c.

Finally, under the head of "Literature," every important work which issues from the English press will be carefully described, and impartially characterized, with the express and sole view to that available information which all classes seek in the present day, and which so few are successful in finding. The Conductors of the COURT JOURNAL venture to add an expression of their belief, that, on a due examination of their work it will be found to speak for itself, in a manner that will render it impossible for any one to be mistaken as to the nature of its resources, and the class of patronage under which it is ushered into the world; or to doubt that these are such as were never before possessed by a public Journal.

The COURT JOURNAL is publisned every Saturday Morning, handsomely printed on a quarto sheet of 16 pages, containing 48 columns, price 8d., or stamped for circulation in the Country, free of postage, ls.

Orders received by all Booksellers and Newsvenders, and by the Clerks of the Roads. Country Residents are particularly advised to give their orders to the Bookseller or Newsmen in their own immediate neighbourhood, as the best mode of obtaining it regularly.

Communications for the Editor may be addressed to the care of Mr. Colburn. Office of Publication, 19, Catherine Street, Strand, where alone Advertisements should be sent.
