PREMIUMS TO NEW SuBsCRIBERs!
OWING TO the late revolutions and counter rcvo-
~ lutions among the nations Of Europe. which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which shs end 10 NOT yef" the leading peri-
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
degree Of interest hitherto unknown They oc-
cupY middle ground between the hasty, disioint-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous trcatses to
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention 70 these Periodicals, and
the very low prices 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, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views, mod
eratey, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whig, and
Radical. "'Blackwoodn and the /" London Quar-
terly'' are Tory; the " Edinburgh Review" Wing;
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 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 under the title of the I" For

fact, union OF the two Reviews formerly published

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The House of Delegates was occupied the larger
portion OF the day in the consideration of the bill pro-
vidng for the construction of railroad from Coving-
ton to the Kanawha river. Messrs. MAYO, SHEPARD,
SEGAR BoyD and PRICE took part in the discussion
The House adjourned without coming to a vote on the

the Senate communicating the passage of sundy bills
from the House OF Delegates, which will be noticed
hereafter. The Speaker likewise laid before the House
the following communication from ISAAC B. DUNN, the
delegate from the county Of Washington, rendering his
resignation as member Of the House Of Delegates:
House OF DELEGATES Jan. s, 1850.
Tohe Honorable the Speaker
OF the House of Delegates:
Dear Sr-l sincerely regret that recent family affiic-
tlohs OF most serious character makes it necessary
that should repair Immediately to the Western from
tier, and probably to Santa Fe, render all possible
slstance TO my unfortunate sister (Mrs. j. NJ Whte)
and her little daughter who are now captives in the
hands OF the "Apachee Indians"
To be compelled thus Unexpectedly to resign nv seat
and at time when important business will be coming
up before the House. which my constituents are deep
y interested, is to matter Of the deepest regret
Whilst acknowledge the importance, to my constitu-
ents OF having their representative (most particularly at
this me at his post prepared to vote upon the several
questions to come up during the next twenty days-yet,
sir, the hand OF Providence points me higher
dnty performtha of contributing far in me es)
TO the rescue OF bereaved sister and her little daugh
ter possible, from the hands of her barbarous cap
tors.
Whilst rendering my resignation the representative
tromW ashngton from and after the 10th nst permit me
to tender to yourself and, through you the members
OF the Legislature, my earnes: wishes for their future
happiness and prosperity.
With great respect, your obd't servant,
ISAAC b. DUNN.

Mr. YennbZR'S RecnSnncn

We insert, in another column, card from Mr.
Venable, of North Carolina, who seems to be held
principally responsible for the election of Wing
Clerk. The Union does not hush its dissatisfac.
ton for Mr.. Venable's explanations. Mr.. Forney
was so accomplished, such whole souled Demo-
crat, an editor, in short, so much after the Unions
own heart, that it cannot brook the thought of his
defeat. Even the Free Sellers, it insinuates, acr
quilted themselves more creditably than Mr.. Ven
able and his seven Southern w-bolters for
they voted for Mr.. B. B. French, whom the Union,
notwithstanding the Free Soil faint, would have
been well pleased to see elected in preference to a
Southern Wing like Mr. Campbell.
