The March number of this valuable journal is en-

and statesman, and indeed to all who take interest
in solid information, touching the great interests OF
commerce and commercial legislation. Besides a
monthly commercial chronicle, embracing review
Of finance trade, &C Of the United States and Greal
Britain vast number of valuable statistics and mer-
camille miscelsnies, we have six elaborate papers as
follows: l. Sketches Of Russian Commerce, by JIG.
X OIL; Origin and History of the Danish Sound
and Belt Tolls, by the Hon. Geo. p. Marsh, Mem

4. Coinage f the United States, Ivy the Editor
5. Post Office Reform, by the Hon. William Il
Maclay; 6. Tonnage and Navigation Of the United
States.
A monthly periodical like tbs, in the great com
meroial emporium" Of the nation, appeals in s cha
ractcr to the most active, nuncrous and intelligent
classes OF community and must necessarily embrace
the discussion Of the vital interests Of the country,

Our People are for the most part engaged in active

party or sectional bearing" embracing facts, dc.

classic and elegant form, and appealing to the pc
cunary and practical interests Of the community, must
inevitably take the precedence Of mere literary spec
ula,ion, founded on the Imagination Of poets, and
tirely impractcsble in its tendency. Now if these
practical topics are discussed in this Magazine
with accuracy and eloquencc, and are enriched with
Al. The ornaments Of chss,e and classic style, would
not greater advantage be derived from them, than
from the mere imaginative literature Of the day
We have in the expanding resources Of our wide
