BLACK WOODS MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" buttons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each cthr 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 middi,
ground beween the hasy, DISCOUNTED, and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers and the eabo-
rate and ponderous eases to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem il proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they 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 he views mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
doal-s' Backwood " and the 90 London Quarterly y
are Tory the &C Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the &c Westminster Review Liberal The g North

great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not

by DR. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-inaw, DIR. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is OF the
very highest order. The " Westminstcr,0 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 usder sepa
rate titles. II has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
Of both as heretofore issued.

5 the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
i Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH X. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
1t Is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virgnans, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citizens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men, Their
defence OF Southern rights is u defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny To doubt that it will continue to be
so Is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instied into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views. They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
I5-The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
rays in advance.

The ENGLISH AND FRENCH.-An Eng
lishman and Frenchman was travelling
together upon railroad, alone in the same
car. The Frenchman polite and easy in
his manner asked permission of his COM
panion to smoke the latter making no re-
ply, he took cigar from his pocket, he
lit it, and began smoking.
At the first station the Frenchman said
to the Englishman, Sir, excuse me, your
cravat is united
The Englishman, without turning his
head, silently tied it.
A little farther on, the Frencbman said
again, Sir, your hat is falling off,
The Englishman, without even saying
thank you, replaced his hat.
Some moments after, the Frenchman
cried out, Take care, sir; take care !;
there is spark that will set your clothes
on fire.
'Ah, sir, do let me alone replied the
Englishman, out of all patience with so
many attentions, you have been burning
for half an hour, and I have not opened
my mouth
