THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
f FARMER'S GUIDE.

FARMERS GUIDE.
EONARD SCOTT 81 Co., No. 81 Gold STREET
IL Neio York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER s GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PaAcrrcAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. X. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the 'Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN z. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., 60
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over | 400
pages, with ls or 90 splendid steel engravings,
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 ploughing, 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 it Of ncalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi monthly
numbers of Ga pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or SIS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-publshed are as fol-
lows, viz I:
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative,
The EDINBuRGH REVIEW (Whig)
THE NORTH BRIrIsH Review Free Churcb),
The WEsTmiNsrER REVIEW Uiberal)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDNBuRGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated yet but a small
portion ofther contents is devoted to political sub
ects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class
Biaek,oood, still under the masterly guidance Of
Christopher NdrtA, maintains its ancient celebrity
and ia at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing il
| its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as '.The Caxtons" and "M
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsula
Medal, "'The Green Hand, I" and other serials
ofwhich numerous rival editions are issued by tn
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages o
Blackwood, q,sr il has heea issued by Messrs. Scot
g. Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of tina
Magazine may always rely on having the sarlies

Saloons has the less chance of success that lis or

The RUSSIANS AND THE CIRCAsslANs.--An &C
count was received by the last steamer from Eu
rope of another victory of The CrcasSlans over the
forces Of the Emperor Nicholas. The Constants
nople correspondent of the London Morning Her
aid, in letter dated June 18th, says:
"lmportant news has been received from Dag:s
tan via Trebizonde. All the correspondence from
Tlfiis gives more or less the details OF the success
of The mountaineers over the Russians, who have
suffered immense loss. The leader OF The Dagh
lees is MohammeG Emn, the nah of Sheikh Cha
mil, who, a, the head of rs 600 picked men of the
war like tribes ST the Abedjeks and other indepen-
dent tribes of the Western Caucasus, had attacked
the Russian entertainments fthe Chenls, and drlv-
en the Russian t0Ops, under the command OF Zen.
Cerebrienholf beyond Themer. The engagements
which took place were bloody and disastrous, and
the Russians suffered so severely that all the spare
wagons Of the army were barely sufficient TO carry
their wounded away.
'sIheir loss, according TO an impartial statement,
is calculated at 5000 in killed and prisoners. The
mortality in comparison is by far greater among The
officers than among the privates. The position OF
the Russian army is very insecure at present, on
account Of The communications between Ihemer
and Kouban being intercepted, and. owing TO the
vigilence uf the Daghses. it is impossible To send
reinforcemenis in that direction for some time To
come. The muunianeers boast al present OF berg
well supplied with ammunition and arms, and ready
TO continue the war against tho invaders of their
homes throughout the whole summer season.
''By the above it is clearly ascertained that the
Russians have made M progress whatever in the
20 1quast Of he Cauca sus Ibis year, and doubt not
both they and their intended victims must have be-
come heartily tired Of This dreadful and prasracted

AN INCIDENT AT THE WoRLD's FAIR.-We
read the following incident from that hive of indus
try with much pleasure:
"Quile rich scene took place last week al The
Fair. The Queen gave out on Friday that she
would visit the Fair the naxt morning at nine o.
clock, attended by her ladies' and gentlemen in
waiting, 10 inspect each department personally, and
to receive information from those severay in cha rge
consequently there was quite galhe ring OF mobiles
and citizens from the West End. After time the
Queen arrived at the beautiful fancy soap stands
from Philadelphia at each great corner Of which,
stand in bold relief, the busts of Washington and
Taylor. with ar inscription on the head of each,
viz: This is all solid soap.
"1he Queen seemed to doubt the fact, and sud-
denly taking gold pin from her dress, was about
testing The truth oft, by running the pin into the
head of Washington, when the Philadelphlan see
ing her object, placed his hand between the pin and
bust, and with gravity and nIileness of his body
obse!ved-rI: is the bust of Washington, your Ma.
jesly.' Quick as thought Prince Albert said, with
smile, 10 the interested Queen, 'Il is only royalty
picking at liberty The next morning an order
came G, from Buckingham Palace for box of The
Philadelphia soap"
