BLACKwOoD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Review,

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 "he end is not yet," the leading peri
odicas Of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoipt
ed and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers and the elaborate and ponderous treatses TO
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem II proper 70
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 arc contained the views, mod
crately, though clearly and firmly expressed OF the
three great parties in Engand-Tory, Whig, and
Radical. "Blackwood" and the :" London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the Westminster Review" Liberal The
50 North British Review" owes Its establishment 10
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and Is not ultra in its views ON any of the grand
departments of human knowledge; II was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is Of tic very highest order. The "West
Minister though reprined under that title only, is
published in England under the title Of the I" For.
cipn Quarterly and Westminster" II being, IN
fact union OF the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles II has, there
fore the advantage by this combination Of uniting
in one work the best features of both heretofore
issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
crs in beautiful clear type, on hne white paper,
and are faithful copies of the originals, Backwoods
Magazine being an exact fac siniis of the Edip-
burRh edition.

existed. Laiies excluded from the grove DELHI

report upon the following subjects
l. The position of man in the kitchen and landry.
2. The position of man in the nursery.

IMPROVED.
MO Cooking Stove ever invented has given so
L genera satisfaction, both n point OF economy
and fuel, and the most perfect mannerin which
cooking ofevery description is done. In eompar-
ing this with other Stoves. the following advanas
ges will be found. The boilers come more imme
diatelvIn contact with the fire. onsequently DO
in less time-the oven being the whole size of t.
stove will bake twice the quantity of other stove
OF the same dimensions, and the heats so gener
ally dittused allit sides that excels the COM
mon brick oven. 1t has also been decided by
some the irstrate hotelkeepers, that meats and
pastries of all kinds are done in much finer
m amer than by any other process.
This Stove is constructed, that no inside
plates come in immediate contact with the fire,
consequently it must be very durable, and not
likely to get Cut of repair. The construction is
so simple, that an inexperienced person may i'm
mediately become acquainted with its use.
They are made of the first quality Scotch and
American Pig Iron, and Of good thickness: almost
double the weight of eastern made stoves OF the
same size.
There are eleven sizes, varying from SIS to
$275 so that all classes of the community, from
the smallest family to the most extensive hotel or
Steam Boat, may availthemselves OF the benef.
OF thIslabor and fuel-saving article ofdomestic
economy.
