BLACKWOOD'S MAG AZiNE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums To New Subscribers.

o1VIN(, TO the late revolutions and counter-revo
~ lutions among the nations oI Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the edis yet," the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the has'y, disointod and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eiabo-
rate and ponderous reatses to be by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price 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,
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
dical--Ss Blackwood " and the &C London Quarterly y
are Tory the &C Edinburgh Review y Wing; and
the g Westminster Review" Liberal. Thes' North
British Review owes It's establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views any che oil the grand depart
ments of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DR. Chalmers, and now since his DEATH is con-
Quoted by his son-n-aw. Dr. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is of the
very highest order. This sWestminsei,T g though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title Of the 'ForeIgn Quarterly and
Westminster )" it being in fact union Of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
Of both as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New y orl,
Immediately their arrival by the British steamers,

V'HE UNDERSIGNED proposes To publish
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
principles by which the Administration Of Gene
raj Thylov came into power, and being desirous TO

his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
Of Government.

Three Millions, and this number is constantly in

2. The name Of Democrats being the appellation

which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, OF course range themselves with
the party bearing that appellaton in this country,

franchise; and the more 80, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,

3. Although there arc a few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists they do gene
rally stand fall with the success defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
