m WING to the late revolutions and counter-revo
~ buttons among the nations Of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession and OF which
the end is not yet the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, disointed and 1T cessary
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the r!abo
rate and ponderous treases to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they arc offered TO subscribers. The following is
their Inst, 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 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 Wing and
the g Westminster Review " Liberal The North
British Review y owes its establishment to the las,
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not

Quoted by his son-in-law DIR. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. It's literary character is of the
very highest order. The &C Westmnstei," 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.

ST. CHARLES THEATRE-De Bar had a very
fair house Saturday in spite of Polline. We are
quite Confident that bill more suited to the tastes
Of the attendants OF that theatre, would have put
more money in his pocket No objection can be
made to the plays Of tonight The Rivals is one
Of the wittiest dramas in the language. Sir Lu-
cius o'Trigger will be performed by Mr. Raymond
himself an lrishman, and who can perform this
class Of characters to nature. Sir Lucias was
drawn from life by the mschevous author. Sheri-
dan, when young man, fought duel with a Mr..
Mathews, dissrmed him and spared his life. The
matter leaked out to his disadvantage, and he aban
doned that part OF the country and removed to
Wales Here he was Stunned as dishonored
man. A Mr.. Barrett who had lately moved to that
part Of the country thinking perhaps, injustice was
done him, UotpRteered to carry a second challenge
TO Sheridan. This resulted in another meeting,
when Sheridan and Mathews were both very badly
wounded. This Mr.. Barrett is the original of Sir
Lucius, and thus the witty writer had his revenge
on the officious ntermeddler who involved him in
disagreeable and dangerous quarrel.
Mrs. Raymond is capital actress She has
during the season been faithful servant and we
think she has claims on the play.goers
Field and DeBar have had good houses, and we
trust this lady will, tonight receive as much plea
sure as she has conferred during the winter.

qnesed to communicate the fact to all the Southern
States . Here, the Mississippian adds) we as
sure our Southern friends of both PARTIES that they
will find cordial welcome"
This is well. We have often thought that the
ehlValry oil Mississippi and South Carolina might
have done the citizens of the patriotic State of

their wishes before resolving" to send delegates
to . dlsunon Convention to be held on their soil.

her bereaved family and friends, and newspaper
editors, and correspondents generally was, on the
9Th inst, actually seen and recognized in that cty
with the handsome young gallant, Baker, by those
who know them well. The feminine runaway is
described as small in person, about four feet eight
or nIne inches in stature, with dark eyes and dark
halr, anda complexion inclined to brunette, with a
youthful look" Pity that she should be found, for
then all this delightful mystery might vanish into
