Edinburgh 4 Quarterly Reviews.

II lilly WAIT, (late Wells & LiIly,) Boston, con.
Ia time to re publish the Edinburgh Review and the
London Quarterly Review.
As organs Of sound criticism, as repositories OF lite
rary reference and scientific information, these Re-
views continue unrvalled They sought after and
read, oiy Great Britain, but in every court and
nation in the European continent They are acknow-
lodged TO be the most Interesting OF all European re-
rodicsl Works. nothing that is valuable politics, in
science in general literature, escapes their notice
No periodical works have attempted the vast
range which they take of human affairs; nor can any
legislator, philosopher, scholar, entirely neglect
them, withoutfeelng the Inconvenience attending this
deficiency
The present extraordinary agitation among the ma
tons of Europe, is calculated to render these Reviews
at th time unusually interesting, and the strength Of
talent which has ever distinguished them, appears to
rise with the OCCASION and their pages exhibit depth
Of politicalsagacty, and development Of intellectual
wealth and energy. that must command the admi'a
ton Of every intelligent reader.
Since their republication here, Reviews on similar
plan have been commenced in this country, that are
conducted with great ability. 1t should be recollect-
ed however, that many works of extraordinary merit
appear in Europe, that do not reach this country un
til long after their publication if at all; and those
smong us, who may be learned curious, search
ing after useful information, have means OF knowing
their character may be their existence, but through
the medium of foreign Review; nor should the
statesman or the nege citizen be content with that
meagre view Of politics which is afforded by the dis
of local interests alone, With no DESIRE there
FORE deract from the acknowledged and increasing
merit of our literature, permit us to saythat so
long the valuable portion OF literary and scie
ti6c Information originates the other side OF the AT
lantc-so long the science of government is cons'
dered worthy the attention of free peope,-so long
should the Edinburg and Quarterly Fill place in our
libraries.

support in the persecution now CARVING
on against them, for their refusal to io;n
combination in fixing one tariff of pri.
ees for Crockery, throughout the trade.
1t is mainly attributable to the influence
OF Our Southern friends, that we have
been enabled to survive thus far, in this
most trying situation; exposed to the
combined influence and capital of the
whole trade, endeavoring to effect orr
ruin u expulsion from business.--We
pledge ourselves to our friends to give
them every satisfaction in our power as
regards the quality of our goods the ex-
cellence OF our packers, and the lowness
OF our prices for cash or City acceptan-
ces; and in return, solicit from them a
continuance of their patronage, and par
tlcularly request those who have infu.
ence with their friends to exert it in our
behalf, as we trust the cause is one thew
are all interested in, and much benefit
will accrue to us from their friendly acts
IN this way. 1t has been said, the Com
bination was broken up. AS it regards
prices, this is true, and all, we think
friends or foes, will allow that we have
effected this change; but we do assure
our friends, that at no period since we
commenced our system of unshackled
prices, were we in greater want of as
slstance than at the present moment-
This combination of men are leaving no
means untried for efiecting our ruin, that
they may revive the old system; our Gre
DIT and character are assailed in every
shape, our importations waylaid 81 stop
ped in every instance where threats are
sufficient to intimidate the manufacturers
from supplying us:-in fine, no vexation
or trouble which the malice of men could
devise, has been neglected in this strug-
gle to subdue us. We once more call up-
on every friend of free trade, to come
up to our support, and pledge ourselves
to give them no cause to repent oftheir

SHENANDOAH,

The new and elegant Steam Boat
RAPPAHANNOCK, Capt. Fairbank,
continues to ply between Baltimore and
Fredericksburg. leaving the latter place
every Wednesday, at 6 o'clock, A. NJ.
and Baltimore the same hour every Sum
day. She is Boat of upwards of three
hundred tons, and is second to none in
point of neatness, co@Eort and speed.
Her boiler is of copper, and her engine
and hull of the best workmanship. The
main cabin is on deck, lofty and airy, and
fitted up in style of great elegance
Her upper deck is very extensive and
affords fine promenade. The scenery
of the Rappahannock is of exquisite
beauty and variety-thc banks present
ing alternately bold and woody promon-
tories, highly cultivated fields, and plea
SAINT villas. In her trips up and down,
the boat is in the River during the day
time, so that the tourist will always be
enabled to behold the scenery.
Travellers from the Southern coun-
try, reaching Fredericksburg, in stages
or private conveyances, will find this
Boat an agreeable change in their pro-
gress to the North ; whist persons from
the Northern States, visiting the Virgil
MIA Springs, will by taking the Boat at
Baltimore, be enabled to reach Freder-
cisburg with little fatigue. and less ex-
pense than by any other route.

CEIUTCEE HARMONY.

From the Franklin { Pa. } Republican.
We have hitherto neglected to notice a
neatly printed & excellent selection Of Church
Music, lately published by our townsman
Mr.. Henry Smith. Although we do not
profess 10 be connosseurs in music, yet from
what little we do know of it, and from the
recommendations we have seen, by men bet
Ter skilled in such matters than we are we
can confidently recommend it TO the public
as first rate work of the kind. At tic last
sessions Of the Xion's Chassis Of the German
Reformed Church, and the Eastern Confer
cnco ofthe Evan. Lutheran Synod of West
Pennsylvania, resolutions, highly commen-
datory of the work and 1attering to the pub
Usher, were adopted by those reverend boz
dies. In addition TO the taste displayed by
the publisher, in the selection Of tunes, we
may add that the very low price ofthe book
viii be considerable inducement TO the COM
munily to have it introduced into Singing
Schools and Socie les throughout the coun-
try, generally. We should be pleased 10
see il lavorably received, and the publisher
remunerated for his labor and expense.

MODES OF FARMING IN DIFF
FERENT SECTIONS

ID.
In the Western States it is not uncom-
mon tor farmer to have six, eight or ten
hundred acres under cultivation. in grain
ana other crops. We have frequently
seen 2O0acres ofcorn in one field i'm Ohio
~ Indiana. Corn in many instances is
raised without hoeing. Narrowing and
p!oughlng once or twice are consiC cred
sulhcient to secure good crops.
These statements will be almost IN
credible with our brethren of the East
who consider one or two hundred acrss
as much as any farmer can manage TO adj
vantage. On the other hand, some of
the Western farmers will be astonished at
the statement made in the preceding ar
tlcie,where it is said that 90 or 100 acras
support large and respectable families in
many Instances, in New England. The
general opinion in the Western states is,
that the Eastern farmers labour severe
ly: This" (says Mr.. Niles "is great
mistake. they have much leisure, because
meg DO not 'caste time. With them, there
IS place for every thing, and every thine.
is in its place. Their horses, and cattle
tools and implements, arc attended to
with clock-like regularity. Nothing is
put OFT till Tomorrow, which can be done
to-day. Economy is wealth, and system
affords ease. These men are seldom in
hurry, except in harvest time. And in
the long winter evenings, or severe
weather which forbids employment out
OF doors, one man makes corn brooms
another shoes, third is carpenter, COO
per or tailor, and if necessary, he can
display his Yankee ingenuity in all these
trades combined, or any thing else which
necessity requires. Gone woman spins
another weaves, another plaits leehorn
or grass bonnets, and fourth makes
lace, while the daughters are attend
ing to the concerns of the larLer. Cit
