BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums TO New Subscribers

nWlNG to the late revolutions and counter-revo
" buttons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each othrr in quick succession, and OF which
the ends not yet," the leading periodicals Of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy a middl,
ground between the hasty, disointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the eabo
and ponderous t:eases to be by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention t.
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. Tn. following is
their list, viz

THE STATE OF PESSsYLv.. s1A.-We are very
sorry to say that this good old Commonwealth
has been completely knocked into fits! The
North AH'er'e.n, Of yesterday, said: "Should
Col. Bigler be elected-and no effort, however
corrupt or desperate, will be neglected to secure
his successive candidly believe that the credit
of this State will be again Frustrated; that our
commercial community and business men Of all
pursuits will be subjected to great distress
and that we shall return to those times Of bank
ruptcy and reputation which were brought
about by the prodigality and corruptions of Lo-
cofocoism during their long career Of perverted
power heretofore"
Colonel Bigler is elected and if the gloomy
predictions Of our friends Of the North Araeri-
can shall prove true, we will hold Colonel For
ney personally responsible; for he has been

DIVIDEND OF THE WASHINGTON BRANCH RAIL
RoAD.-The Baltimore Patriot states that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has de-
clared scmi-annual dividend of four DER cent.
on the Washington branch Of their road, payable
on and after the 10th instant.
We think tint this might be increased by the
reduction of their fare to reasonable rate
which reduction, for the good of all parties, the
people of the two cities should demand Three
cents mile, making the passage $780, il
abundant; and $500 to come and 20 within
forty eight hours. The hotels, boarding houses
and all other places of business in the two cities
would profit by this reduction, and the conve-
nience of the public would be greatly promoted.

KoBBERY by THE USE OF CHLoRoFoRM-The
New York Star states that son Sunday morn
ing, between the hours of 2 and 8 o'clock while
three men by the names of Richard Leavitt,
Josiah Paul, and Bland French were asleep on
board the brig Ellis, lying at pier No. TO- East
River, some daring rogue or rogues forcibly en-
tered the cabin of said vessel. The above in
dividuals were observed lying in their berths
asleep, whereupon the villains applied vial of
chloroform to the nostrils of each person for a
sufficient length of time to allow them to inhale
the reqSisite quantity of said drug, which had
tho desired effect; and when the victims of
these ingenious robbers awoke, they discovered
that the cabin had been ransacked and plum
dered of a valuable gold watch and chain, all
their wearing apparel, and wallets containing
about $50 in bank bills, with which the rascals
made their escape, and have not since been
heard Of"

Gracious powers! was ever such an absurd
ity heard of before? Keep Kossuth two days
in quarantine, after a long exile from friends
and country, and tedious sca-voyage, and all
because the fire crackers and sky-rockets are
not prepared. We trust the citizens.of New
York will not allow it, but that every steam
boat, longboat, and barge in the harbor will
head straightway for the steamer, and bear the
patriot, the hero, and republican in triumph to
the battery! Two days in quarantine No,
