Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, 70
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your siock'
tie products Of your orchards, and J your garaens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that WIFI be here'
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as IL Is
onIv bv comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
FOR YOU TO arrive at, will be that what you nave
is as good, if not better than that OF otners, ana
that it behooves you to gallantly enter the st or
Competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is guarantee tnat you
IAN be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
he uxury Of knowing that others were more en-
red to success 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, 10 induce your
to their peculiar departments, ebrolde1y house
held manufactures, the proaucts Of the DAIRY dnd 9
the poultry uard preserves, domestic 'ctes, coJec
tiors and above all things, to come themselves, as

To the Manufacturers Of agricultural implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patrl-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chnery of all kinds, as from our present advces,
we are led to believe that the assembiage OF iarm-
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most of the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the .dgricuiturat
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and we with each other IN

X EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 54 Gold sire I
IL Nsto York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and BIackwood

ly commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
/" Farmer Is GUlpE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRIcULruRE," +"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. s.. Of Edinburgh au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm &C., &c; assisted
by JOHN p. NoRroN, M IA, New Haven, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over ,40t
pages, with lS or 30 splendid steel engravings
and more than 600 engravngs on wood, in tn.
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the bes
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 liz unique, and
will render it of ncaIcuIabe value to the student
Of agriculture
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers OF ia pages each, exclusive Of the Stee
engravings, and is sold at IS cents each or SIS foi
the entire work in numbers, OF which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol
lows, viz

IHE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whlg),
The NORTH BRIrlsH REVIEW (Free Church,
The WEsrmINsrER REVIEW Uiberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH 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
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class
Blacktoood, still under the masterly guidance o
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from tn
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing i
its columns both in Great Britain and in the Unite
States. Such works as ''The Caxtons" and "M
| New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) 'My Peninsula
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials
ofwhic numerous rival editions are issued by til
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages o
Blackwood after IL has been issued by Messrs. Scoi
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of tina
Magazine may always rely on having the earies
reading of these fascinating tales.

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 at Rio de JaneIro at the time, pre-

Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips 10 San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the

All, yes the world is cold and chill !
No sympathy tween heart and heart;
Save where affections seal is set;
Unfadingly ne'er to depart.
The world is cold for others woe,
How seldom is the bitter tear,
How little known the heavy links
That chain the uRtettered spirit here
The world is cold-but heed thou not,
Its selfish, false and hollow tone;
q, turn thy spirit from the shade,
That's saddening as the Autumns moan !!
look at the cloud in yonder heaven,
Seeking to screen the Suns bright ray
'Tis but gathering vapor light,
Which comes, to quickly pass away.
,'Twould like to linger for awhile,
To shroud the earth so smil'd upon;
But proudly does he pierce the veil;
And like vision-it is gone!
