WILLIAM CARPENTER, well known as an indefatigable labourer in the
field of political and social improvement, has commenced a cheap weekly paper of a politico-literary kind, called The London Journal; not in rivalry of LEIGH Hu NT.S,—for that, we are sorry to find, is discontinued,—but, like it, in emulation of CHAMBERS'S Edinburgh Journal, though a trifle more in price. In addi- tion to reviews of books, music, pictures, and theatres, tales and miscellanea, it reports and comments upon political and judicial occurrences—yet not in such a manner as to bring it within the operation of the Stamp-laws. Among its standing topics, to be treated in series, are the British Constitution, Natural History, Holyday Customs, the Preservation of Health, Portraits of Pa- triots, &c. Its spirit is liberal and temperate, and its matter in- structive and entertaining.
