CANADIAN TRADE.-The shipments of Canadian
produce through this port under the warehousing
law has largely increased during the season now
closed. Among the articles thus shipped through
in bond for export to foreign ports the present
son. there have been 200 900 bbls. of flour, including
some 1000 or 5000 barrels to go forward by rail-
road. Over and above this amount some few hun
dred barrels OF Canadian -four have been sold at this
port and paid duties here, probably not 500
barrels, There have also been imported into this
port 623 800 bushels of Canadian wheat, of which
1892 bushels have passed through in bond for the
seaboard, and 243,997 bushels have been sold, and
have paid duties here.
The Canadian wheat crop of this year was uncom-
monty abundant and of excellent quality, nearly or
quite equal to the best samples of Gencsee BY the
purchase and mixing of the last manned quantity of
Canadian wheat, our millers have been enabled to
manufacture into superfne flour over million of
bushels of low quality of upper lake wheat which
would not make flour required by New York inspec-
ton for superine The process of mixing has tended
to make good market and to enhance the value of
both kinds at this point Ostceg0 Times

BLACKWOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.


PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS!
OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo-
" lutions among the nations of Europe which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and OF which "hte end is not ye,' the leading peri
odicas of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disoint-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatses
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered to
subscribers. The following is their list viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views mod
eratey, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical :" Blackwood'' and the 4" London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the " Edinburgh Review Whig
and the Westminster Review" Liberal The
Sc North British Review" owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in its views any one of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, Is conducted by his son-in-l law DR.. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is of the very highest order. The "West
Minister" though reprinted under that title only, is
published in England under the title of the "For-
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being, in
fact, union of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. 1t has, there
FORE the advantage by this combination of uniting
in one work the best features of both as heretofore
issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
crs, in beautiful clear type, on fine white paper,
and are faithful copies of the originals Backwoods

burph edition
