The New York Sunday Morning News rela,. .es a
singular instance Of oppression and cold cArted-
ness, and what seems to be its providentia punish-
ment. About ten days since merchant who had
amassed nearly half million of dollars and
grown grey in his course Of gain, having been a
few days from town, returned, and On entering his
store observed that two boxes Of goods were out o
their place Calling the clerk who had charge of that
department, he demanded where they had been
put. The clerk replied, saying, that in conse
quence of sickness in his family, he had been me-
cessarily absent two days. and could not at the mo-
| ment give the required answer. This reply was
| followed by an outburst Of fury in nearly these
words:
"D-nation sir, What have to do with your
| sickness or family? Your business was to be here
and take care of the goods. Where are they, sir?''
81 cannot tell you, SIR, replied the clerk sit was
not only sickness, but death of one of my children
that called me away" ssWhats that IN rnes' shout
ed the cnraged merchant; "what have I to do with
DEATH want you TO attend to your business
| that's what want"
This occurred about ten days ago, and the hcsry
wretch, who uttered the blasphemous expression
Is now cold in his grare. Death il had some
thing TO do with him; and horrible as the picture
may seem, II is nevertheless and can be sub
| stantiated.

BRocK's MoSuMEsT.--h will he remembered nv
many of our readers, says tho Troy Whg, the,
some years ago the monument to the memory of
General Brock, on Queenston Heights, was bfown
up by an individual concerned in the political ont
breaks Of that time. Soon after this oatrare. suh
scrptions were received for the purpose OF restor
ing the monument. The mopcy 50 raised was en-
the amount.
The committee have determined 10 erect an obe.
isk not less in height than one hundred and fiftv
feet, and not more than QUO hundred and seventy:
the cost not TO exceed $4,000. The onlv bar to a
speedy commencement Of the work is thus pre
sented by tho committee:
"a difficulty, however, we regret IA saw. IS
thrown IN the way Of any immediate proceeding,
ny the circumstances that the funds are almost
wholly invested in Upper Canada bank stock
which cannot be sold at presen, without submitting
to very heavy loss"

BLACKWOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.

PREMIUMS TO NEW sUBsCRiBERs!
Owing TO the late revolutions and counter
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe. which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and Of which s end is not yet," the leading peri
odcals of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
ed and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises to
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem ii proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered TO
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views, mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in Engand-Tory, Wing, and
Radical I" "Blackwood" and the " London Quar-
terly' are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Whig;
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 any OF the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by Or. 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, s
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 heretofore
Issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
ers, in beautiful clear type, on fine white paper,
and faithful copies of the originals Blackwood q
Magazine being an exact fac simile of the Edin-
burgh edition.
