money to get original drawings Of machinery in
practical use in this country, and have procured
almost every work on the subject, whether pnb-
lished in England, France, or Germany, the most
essential parts of which being comprised in this
Dictionary, render it as perfect and comprehen-
sive as possible. The publishers have endeayored
to use great economy in type, so that each page OF
the work contains at least four times the number
of words found in ordinary pages of the same size.

may construct accurately any machine described

sible and it is hoped every one desrous to obtain
the work will procure it as issued in numbers, and
thus encourage the enterprise.

bers, commencing in January, 1850, and will pro-
gress with great regularity.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE,

II EONARD SCOTT g. Co., No. 81 Gold street
IL yNsU 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 a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
"FARMER's GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PaAcrIcAL
AoRIcuLrURE,"
By HENRY STEPHENS, f. X. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Faym, &C., &c. assisted
by John p. MORTON, 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 l8 or 90 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than GOO 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 in unique, and
will render 1t of incalculabe value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and is sold 25 cents EACH or as 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 EDNBuRcH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrrsH REvIEw (Free church,,
The WEsrmINsrER REVIEW (Lberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated. yet but small
portion ofther contents is devoted to political sub
jects. Ii is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand
essedy far above all other journals of their class.
Blacktcood, 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 noables
written for that magazine, and first appearing il
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works az 'tThe Caxtons" and an
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsula
Medal, -" "The Green Hand" and other serials
Of which 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, after il has been isssied by .Mesns Scot
& Co., no that subscribers to the reprint of tina
Magazine may always rely on having the earIies
reading of these fascinating tales.

gvyHE nublic will be grutifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
a6led to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from

In the irst 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 at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then deslrous 10 60 OUT 10 sell tickets FOR
through passages from Panama IN advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from a 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-
ence Of fever at Rio de Jqpeiro 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 impauence OF
nsHnenasrs 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 at 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 70 san IRAN
cisco will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
