British Quarterly Reviews

hBfltiSfh sEG6dT1CFiy Reviews
Owing to the late revolutions and
counter-revolutions among the nations o
Europe, which have followed each other
in such quick succession, and of which
sMe end is not yet," the leading periodi-
Gals of Great Britain have become invest
ed with degree of interest hitherto un-
known. They occupy middle ground
between the hasty, disjointed, and ne
ceSsariiy imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and pondcrous
treatises to Be furnished by tie historian
at future day. Whoever reads nesc
periodicals obtains correct and connect
ed 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 there
fore deem it proper to call renewed atten-
tion to the works they republish and the
very low ices at which they are offered
to subscribers. The following is their
list, viz:
THE 10 DON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
and
DLACKwooD's EDIBURGH MAG AzII.
In these periodicals arc contained the
views, moderately, though clearly and
firmly expressed, of the three greal par
ties in England-Tory, Wing, and Radi-
cal--"Blackwood" and the London
Quarterly" are Tory; the Edinburgh
Review" Wing; and the "Westmiter''
Review" Liberal. The North British
Review" owes its establishment to the
last great ecclesiastical movement in
Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on
any one of the grand departments of hu-
man knowledge; it was originally edited
by Dir. ha!ners, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-law,
DR.. Hanna, associated with Sir David
Brewster. It's literary character is of
the very highest order The 'Westmin-
ster,' though reprinted under that title
only, is published in England under the
title of the Foreign Quarterly and West
Minister it beingin fact union of the
two Reviews formerly published under
separate titles. 1t has therefore, the adj
advantage by this combination, of uniting
in one work the best features of both as
heretofore issued
The above Periodicals GRE reprinted in
New York, Immediately on their arrival
by the British steamers, in beautiful
clear type, on fine white paper, and are
faithful copies of the originals, Black
woods Magazine being an exact fae-
sinsite of the Edinburgh edition.

The editor of the Hallowell Gazette as
serts that the veritabe motion has been in
vented by Sewell B. Walton, of Livermore
Falls, Me. lie has examined the model
and says
owe must confess that we had misgiy-
ings, and were skeptical in regard to the
claims of the invention but upon examina-
ton, we found it indeed perpetual motion,
and nothing short. The principle is simple
yet ingenious, and glance at the model
conveys to the mind the Justice of its claims
The model has now been in motion, unless
stopped by some foreign agent, for year
or more, and will go by its own power as
long as the materials of which it is construc-
ted shall last. If it is stopped in any posi-
ton on removing the obstruction it will set
itself in motion and run indefinitely. 1t is
indeed curious piece Of workmanship, and
well worthy the attenti n of the scientific.
Whether sufficient power can be obtained
by the principle to make it valuable in pro-
polling heavy machinery, remains to be
tested by experiment. There is sufficient
power in the model to move common clock
work.
"The inventor has secured patent and
is now having model mode of polished
brass, which, if he succeeds in setting it in
motion, will make for him fortune"

from a gentleman in Constantinople. 1t is

"Diplomatic relations have not yet been

a Terrible Fire and loss of Prop

The Alta Californian saws the fire at San
Francisco, Dec. "a, originated in Denni-
sons Exchange, in the second story, at six
O'Clock in the morning, Before water could
be procured the blaze had reached the
painted cotton ceiling, and streaming thro'
the sides, ignited the tarred roof. The
morning was still, scarcely breath Of air
swaying the fiery volumes. Then com.
menced the din of thousand voices, the
crash of property; jingling of battered vim
dows; the qnick sharp sound of axes piled
vigorously in cutting cumbrous timbers,
and yet, above this, the roar of the devour-
ing element. which now surged widely a.
round the Astor House to the north, anon
sweeping furiousy across the U. S. Restau-
rant to the south OF the Exchange Both
these buildings were soon on fire; and as
the blaze trayersed the rear balcony of the
former establishment, dense clouds of smoke
rolled from the doors and windows at either
end, barely giving time to permit the es.
cape OF the occupants. Portsmouth square.

crowded with anxious spectators, when an
alarm was created of stored powder in the
Parker House. a stampede of 6OOg hu-
man beings then added to the terror of the
spectacle. The fire, after raging six hours,
was finally checked by the free use of
powder, after destroying all the build
mgs, except the DeImonico Hotel, on Ports
mouth square; and all on Washington
street, commencing at Dorado aud Running

are, Parker House 100000; Dennisons

Legal Decisions.

The Supreme Court Of Georgia has lately
decided the following points: A decree, in
equity, is a judgment Of the Court, and
where no action has been had for more than
seven years, is dormant, and is embraced
within the act of 1928, " for preventing the
fraudulent enforcement Of dormant j1dg-
ments."
Corporations can only exercise such
powers as are granted to them, in their char
tiers, aud such powers as are necessarily
implied, to carry into effect all powers
conferred, by Legislative grants Under
this last decision the city corporation of Sa-
vannah Is prevented from laying tax on
imco,nea Where the statute of limitation
begins to run, 1t runs on, unless suspended
by legislative enactment.
The statute of limitations does not run in
equity, in cases of fraud, until the fraud has
been discovered
Where a motion is made to set aside the
award of an umpire, the irregularities of the
arbtrators who disagree do not affect the
award.
The umpire may decide upon all matters
Whlch arise IN the case, though some of
them have not been touched by the arbitra-
tors.
When the suits for specific property and
an award is rendered under order Ct Court,
the award, upon being entered as the judy
ment OF the Court, passes the title Of the
property, and no conveyance is necessary.
1t is not necessary that an award in rela.
ton to lands should be under seal.
1t is not necessary for ar5,tralors or UNI,
pIres 10 give any reason for their decision.
1t is competent ior parties to submit a
question to arbitrators and agree to be
bound although heir decisions may be
contrary to law. 1t is only where arbitra.
tors are evidently attempting to follow the
strict letter of the law, and make a clear
mistake, that the award will Je set aside.

this Government and the military authorities at
Santa Fe, or with the authorizes of the State of
Texas, relating to the boundary or occupation
of Texas, and the reason why the judicial au
thority Of Texas has not been recognized by the
military authority at Santa Fe, herewith sub
NIT the accompanying reports which contain the
information called for By the resolution.

pressed BY my predecessor in the letter address,
ed by the Secretary of State to the Governor of

~ Upon the Presidents Message the
Tribune demurs; and the New Bedford
Mercury makes an honest profession of its
faith in the claim set up by the friends of
Gen. FayIor, for him as friend of the
Proyiso Ii is better to confess the truth.
The Mercury says -
We have never supposed that Gen Tay-
or was in favor of the WiImot Proyiso, but
have always assumed the contrary with the
qualification that he would not veto it if
passed by Congress. We see no reason to
change our opinion except that we are a.
grecaby surprised in finding the President
every way disposed to give the side of Free.
dom lalrer chance than most Southern
men are willing to give it. 1t is very man
liest that he is no slavery propagandist, but
is qnte as read v to foster a free State as a
slave State-qute as willing to admit the
one as the other into the Union. We could
not in reason expect that he would go fur.
ther-but for all that he does not 90 far c.
nough for US. We desire to see the Ter
ritories organized upon the platform of hui
man freedom-we desire to sec them under
the protection of law, and unembarrassed
by any question in respect TO slavery If
they are free Territories, they will be free
Slates-if slave Territories, they will be
slave States, such is the power and in1u-
ence of the classes who afford to own
slaves.
We therefore raise our voice for the or
ganzation of the Territories and for, Tor the the
cept for crime cannot and shall not exist
therein. We respect Gen. Taylor, but we
should not respect ourselves if we did not
protest against his non-intervention, et-a-
lone scheme.

classes must pay more than their iust proportion

consequence Of being connected with these baz-
