The above periodicals are reprinted in New York
mmedi lately on their arrival by the British steam
ers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white paper
and are faithful copies Of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Magazine being an exact fac-simile Of the Edin-
burgh edition.
The widespread fame of these splendid periodi-
calls renders il needless to say much in their praise
As literary organs they stand far in advance Of any
works of similar stamp now published, while the
political complexion Of each is marked by dignity
candor and forbearance not often found in works oil
party character.
They embrace the views Of the three great parties
in EngIand-whig, tory, and radical. "Blackwood'
and the "London Quarterly" are tory; the "Edn'
burgh Review" wing; and the "Westminster," rad
ieal. The "Foreign Quarterly" is purely literary
being devoted principally to criticisms on foreign
continental works.
The prices of the reprints are less than one-thrd
of those of the foreign copies, and while they are
equally well got up, they afford all that advantage tc
the American over the English reader.

That long, low, black looking Schooner

About Two years ago a suspicious looking
craft lay off our coast some weeks. No one
was permitted to board her. After her de-
parture several colored persons were found to
be missing, and no tidings have ever reached
us of their whereabouts. Tha, same srhoon-
er, or one very much like it. has of late been
seen lying of Rockaway Beach. Only last
week, three colored women and two colored
men had, 1t is said, absconded. But their
well known habits, and their attachm ent to
Jamaica, tho place of their birth, forbidS the
belief in such IA report. They have been for
chilly abducted yes stolaa by Southern deal
ers In human flesh, and ere this have been
sold like cattle in the Southern market.
In the vicinity of the colored Camp Meet
ing, last week, two suspicious men were
seen, armed with pistols and bowie knives,
who pretended to be officers from the city,
No doubt they were hired r%ufiians, under pay
from the Captain of the Slave Schooner. We
have among us, too, men who are suspected
OF aiding in this nrfarious business. The
darkness Of night is the favorite time for
these dhrk-visaged liends in human form to

The Evangelical Alliance.

Some of our read rs areaware that the Com

Evangelical Christians, decided against invi-

London on the l7lh of last month how anti

inferred from the following extract from a
letter to the New York Tribune:
"The offensive requisition as to Slavery
was doubtless occasioned by a disposition to
auell some factions points. OF one thing

here about three weeks, and the deaths have
been but few, considering our numbers,
which is over one thousand. The measles
are going through the camp at a rapid rate,
and much sickness prevails. The six months

the bad quality of water. Two companies
