LuMBIA, passed s6e House of Represen-

liy. This is righteous and humane
measure-an advance in the work of
freedom. ltprovides for the abolition
of the traffic in human flesh in the Dis
trlct, from and after tie LIST of January
next-a traffic which has long brought
dlscredit upon the nation, as well as up
on It's Metropolis. The bill does not
prevent citizens OF the District from sell
ing their present slaves to persons in or
out OF It's limits, but it strikes a death
blow at the trade hereafier--and wipes
out the most foul disgrace and GROWING
infamy--of having the Capital of a free

BRITISH PERIODICAL LITERATURE


Republication Of
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW,
The NORTH BRITIsH REVIEW,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGu JOURNAL.
THE widespread fame of these splendid
periodicals renders it needless to say much
in their praise. AS literary organs, they
stand far in advance of any works ofa SINH
lar stamp now published, while the political
complexion of each is marked by dignity,
candor, and forbearance not often found in
works of party character.
They embrace the views of the three great
parties in England-Tory, Wing, and Radi-
cal. Blackwood" aud the London Quar-
tcrly" are Tory, the Edinburgh Review"
Wing, and the Westminster Review" Rad
ical. The "North British Review" is more
of n religious character, having been origi-
nally edited by DIR. Chalmers and now, since
his death, being conducted by his son-in-law
Dr. Hanna, associated with Sir David Brews-
ter Its literary character is of the very high
est order.
The Westminster" though reprinted un-
der that title only, is published in England
under the title of the "Foreign Quarterly
and Westminster" it being in fact union OF
the two Reviews formerly published and re-
printed under separate titles. II 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 steamers, in beautiful clear type
OH fine white paper, and are faithful copies
of the originals BidckiooodS .NdgdSine being
