Edinburgh & Quarterly Reviews.

I LILY WAIT, (iate Wells Il IIlly,) Boston, con.
IL tnue 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 unrvsled. They sought after and
read, only 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-
riodcai Works, nothing that is valuable IN politics. IN
science, in general literature, escapes their notice
No periodical works have ever attempted the vast
range which they take of human affairs, nor can any
legislator, philosopher, scholar, entirely neglect
them, without feeling the Inconvenience attending this
deficiency.
The present extraordinary agitation among the ma
tons Of Europe, is calculated to render these Reviews
at Thu time unusually interesting, ard the strength of
talent which has ever distinguished them, appears to
rise with the OCCASION and their pages exhibit depth
OF poicalsagacty, and development OF intellectual
wealth and energy. that must command The sdmra
| ton OF every intelligent reader.
Since their republication here, Reviews on similar
plan have been commenced in this country, that
conducted with great ability. II should be recoiect
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 alI and those
among u.s. who may be learned, curious, or search
ing after useful information have OF knowing
their character. may he their existence, but through
the medium OF foreign Review; nor should the
statesman the ntelge mt citizen be content with that
meagre view of politics, which is afforded by the dis
of local interests alone, With desire, there
FORE to dstrac from the acknowledged and increasing
merit of our own literature, permit to say, that so
long the valuable portion of literary and scien
tc information originates the other side oil the At
lantic long the science Of government is consi
dered worthy the attention of free peope,-so long
should the Edinburg and Quarterly fill place in our
libraries.

ANOTHER FIRE AT NEW WORK.

n most disastrous Fire broke out last ujght n;
ABOUT hat-past twelve O'clock in building in Va
TICK Street, between Charlton and Vandam Streets
and from twenty five to thirty buildings were des
royed, mostly dwelling houses, with brick fronts
and wooden church. The fire, according to re.
port on the spot, occasionod by the suuibs and
crackers of the day; and there were several
wooden stables, carpenters shops, and other very
combustible materials in the vicinity we think this
highly probable.
The fire spread with such rapidity, that many In
miles barely escaped with their night clothinp and
IN one instance, person was dragged fronl his
bed, after the bodstcad was on fire. In addition
10 the property destroyed, several persons are mis-
sing, who it is feared have persisted in the flames
wo children who were locked up in Il room bv
their parents, who had gone to the theatre. have
not been found. Several fremon are, il is said.
seriously injured.
The fire broke out in the carpenters sbop of
William J. Burke, in the rear Of IS and So CharI
ton-streot. Mr.. b. had n largo quantity of humber
on hand, which was all on fire before the onpincs
could reach the scene Of oonAagration; and unfor-
tunatety the distance from supply Of water was
so great, that dozen buildings were in flames he
fore drop could be thrown on them. The chief
supply was from the Hudson River, and when the
hrc broke out the water was so low that the suc
ton rooted in the mud, and soon travelled the box
rs. It's computed that not less than one hundred
7nd t,eeHty fire families rendered houselegs bv
ms diaster; several of whom, who resided in the
ear, arc reduced to beggary.
