THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

A
FARMERS GUIDE.
| r EONARD SCOTT & Co, No. 54 Gold str. I
IL .Nsto York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwo ,
Magazine; IN addition to which they have recent
y commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
FARMER GUIDE TO ScmNrFic AND PRAcricAL
AGmcuLTURE,"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. X. s., Of Edinburgh aal-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm" &C., &c.; assisted
by JOHN 7. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c., &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages with 10 or 20 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods of ploughng, planting,
hayIng, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
TIC animals IN their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render il of incalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of Ga pages each, exclusive of the Steel
engravlngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers, OF which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Free Church),
FHE WEsTMINsrER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory)
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political SUBJ
jects. II is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con-
essedy far above I'LL other journals Of their class
Biacktoood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher NORTH maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "Nfy
New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) ''My Peninsular
Medal, "The Green Hand, and other serials
ofwhich numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be rel
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
BIackwood, after has been issued by .uessrs Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

may own is inferior TO others that Will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t Is
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thine can be determined. The safer presumption
for YOU to arrive at, will be that what you have

that it behooves YOU to calamity enter the st OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is a guarantee tnat you
can be defeated in no other way, you wan ENJOY
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
led to su ccess than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your

CALIFORNIA;.
rJyHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled TO announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back
In the first attempts of this Company TO meet
the wants OF travel TO California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon ut the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desrous to go out, TO sell tickets for
through passages from Panama IN advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages IN no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatience OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three Of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived ut Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. uuDson.
TTHMUS, Capt. HIrCHcocu.
COLUMBUS, Capt PEcx.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.

to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. 5. N.
OHIO, Capt ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEs, U. 5. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise. .
accommodations OF their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations OF the
ships of their Pacific Lne offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage TO Ga,,forn'a.
