BLACIxWOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Revfeyys.

PREMIUMS TO NEW suBscRIBERsi
OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo-
have followed each other in such quick succession
and OF which 'fnte end not yet" the eadnp peri
odicala of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy a middle ground between the hasty, disioipt-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records OF the news
papers, and the and ponderous treatses To
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem il proper TO
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they 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 are contained the views mod
cratey, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whig and
Radical. "Blackwood" and the :" London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the "Edinburgh Review, !" Whig;
and the Westminster Review" Liberal. The
I" 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 Of human knowledge; il was origin
ally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now since his
death, is conducted by his son -inl law, DR.. Hanna
associated with Sir David Brewster Its literary
character is Of TIE very highest order. The "West
Minister, though reprinted under that title only is
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. Hhas, there
fore, the advantage by this combination of uniting
in one work the best features of both heretofore
issued.

Immediately ON their arrival by the British steam.

Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalists in
Europe, and in this country, have sscertained be-

these insects, in their various kinds are therefore

school, and different persons, in 1882 although the
admirable scientific plans for investigation above

advantage. II is well known that an eminent
physician of France ascertained, by an experiment
ON his own person, that the disease commonly
called "Itch" is caused by animalcule, which the

system in portable and safely recubent manner il
the apparatus invented by the undersigned, in the
State Of Ohio, and lately completed by him in Tur-
