169, Fleet Street: Jan. 1, 1852.

THE end of the year 1951, it will be seen by our list of publications issued during the last fortnight, presents no falling off in the number usually incident to a month of December. Some idea may be formed of the literary pressure exercised by the season, by the fact that during Christmas Eve alone the début was made of no less than twenty-three new publications by being delivered to the trade. Neither is a 1st of January much less prolific with literary productions: it generally is the starting-time for new serials; and amongst other contributions to periodical literature for the new year are the following, whose first number bears the present date:-A new "Quarterly Review, and Digest of Current Events." Chambers's "Pocket Miscellany," a readable, portable series of reproduced articles deserving such re-issue,their cheapness and appearance commending it to those who read much, but buy little. "The Men of the Time, or Sketches of English Notables in 1852." "The Biographical Magazine," announced in a previous "Circular." "The British Monthly Review," a new monthly literary and religious magazine, price 6d., aims at the support of all religious denominations." The Leisure Hour," a weekly penny paper, issued by the Tract Society. "The Cottage Lamp, or Aid to Happiness n this World and the next." A similar paper, edited by the authoress of "Safety in Peril," "" My Flowers," &c.

A republication of Dr. Gill's "Commentary on the Bible," is announced, without abridgment, in 25 Monthly Parts: this appears to be attempted under the combined view of being able to establish a self-supporting, industrial printing school at Bonmahon, Waterford county.

THE new Number of "The Traveller's Library'' comprises "Macaulay's Essays upon Addison and Walpole." MR. HENRY MAYHEW, the Author of "London Labour and the London Poor," has announced a new Publication in Parts, entitled "Low Wages, their Causes and Consequences;" consisting chiefly, it appears, of the opinions en gendered in the mind of the Author in the course of his collecting the facts for his former works.
