BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Owing o. The lnte revolutions and
counter.rcvolgiion among the nations
of Europe. which have followed each
other IN such quick succession. and OF
which "thc md is not get the leading
periodicals. Of Great Britain have be-
come invested with n degree OF inter
est hitherto unknowa. They occupy a
middle ground between the hasty, dis.
jointed, and necessarily imperfect re-
cords Of the newspapers, and the elab-
crate and ponder0us~ treatises 10 be fur
nished by the historian al a future day.
Whoever reads these periodicals OBJ
tains "A correct and connected account
Of all the important political events Of
the old world, as they occur, and learns
the various conclusions drawn from
them by the leading spirits Of the age.
The American Publishers therefore
deem il proper to call renewed atten-
ton to the works they republish and
the very low prices at which they are
offered to subscribers. The following
is their list, viz:
The Load0H Quarterly Rec 1e,
The Eaabprg ReUiclC,
The North British RevicW,
The Westminster RecicO,
AND
BIackwooa'S Ldiabmgh Maga.iae.
In these periodicals are contained the
views, moderately, though clearly and
firmly expressed, ofthe three great par
ties in England-Tory, Wing, and Rad
ical-" Blackwood" and the London
Quarterly are Tory; the "Edenburgh
Review Wing; and the Westminster
Review" Liberal. The "North British
Review owes its establishment TO the
last great ecclesiastical movement in
Scotland, and is not ultra in its views
Oh any n Of the grand departments
of human knowledge; it was originally
edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since
his death is conducted by his son-in-law
DIR. 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 I'M
der the title Of the Foreign Quarterly
and Westminster" it being in fact a
union ofthe two Reviews formerly pub
lished and reprinted under separate IL
ties. 1t has therefore, the advantage
by this combination, Of uniting in one
work the best features of both as here
tofore issued.
The above Periodicals arc. reprinted
in New York, Immediately on their ar
rival by the British steamers, in a beau,
titul clear type, on fine white paper,
and are faithful copies of the originals

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS

Daguereotypes by Brady---Engraved by
XII &3 D'Avignon.

EDITED by AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
ustrious in the service of the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re-
public. VI tSss ~
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced fhe utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long establshedto need any
RECOMMENDATION. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance. 8s as 5@5s sEs.E
The drawings and engravipgs of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris; and every i'm.
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography win be exc.
cutea carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 BY % inches, made
expressly for this purpose. %y
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ; II
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names Of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an HONORABLE,
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de.
Partnents of life will have Its representatives. Art
and Literature are universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument' to the great men of the Republic, whose
achicvcments and fame constitute the chief glory oil
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend Of glorious Union, will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in so bile an
undertaking, that its publication my make an
the progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illnstrious men Of the Union togeher consolidate il
still more firmly. .
As work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most Of our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit a large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

Remarkable StCry CT an AlbatrOS.

The adioined anccdoe of an AlbatrOs is
taken from a recent number of the Mon
trea Transcript. The writer vouches for
its fidelity to truth. Persons who have
seen that most restless of birds and are fa-
miiar with its strength and lis habits.
lsays the Louisville Journal will have
less difficulty in believing in this story
than those who have not seen it. 1t is ~
admirable story, and is very well told
The following most extraordinary cir
cums,ance is furnished in letter from an
officer of the SID regiment, now in India,
to friend in Montreal. Whilst the divl-
sion of the 83d regiment to which the
writer belonged was on its way to India,
being at the timea short distance eastward
of the Capes, ono of the men WAS severely
nogged for some slight offences. Madde-
ned al the punishment. the poor fellow
was no sooner released than, in sight of
all his comrades and the ships crew, he
sprang overheard There was a high sea
running at the time, and, as the man
swept on astern, all hope of saving him
seemed to vanish. Relief, however, came
from quarter where no eye ever dream
ed Of looking for it before.
During the delay incident on lowering
a boat, and whilst the crowd on deck were
watching the form Of the soldier strug-
Cling with the boiling waves, and growing
less distinct, large albatros, such as are
always found in those latllndes, coming
like magic, with an almost impcrcepllble
motion, approached and made swoop at
the man, who in the agonlcs of the death
Struggle s&zed it, and held ii firmly in his
grasp, and by this means kept afloat until
assistance was rendered from the vessel.
Incredible as this story seems, the name
of the writer of The letter, who was an
eyewitness of the scens, places lts authen-
tcitv beyond doubt.
" But for the assistance ihus afforded,
the writer adds, no newer on earth could
have saved ,he soldier, as, in consequence
the tremendous SEA running, long time
elapsed before the boat could be manned
and GOT down--al this time the man cling
ing to the bird whose flutterings and Strug.
gles to escape bore him up. Who after
this should despair? A raging sea--a
drowning man--an alhatrs; what eye
could see under such circumstances or
who will dare to call this chance! Is it
not rather lesson intended TO stimulate
faith and hope, and teach us never to des-
pair, since in the darkest moment, when
the waves dash, and the winds roar, and
4 gulf seems closing over our heads, there
nlaY be an aibGfr0S near.
