r EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81 Gold sire /
IL .Ntio York, continue to publish the four lead
Ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood' ,
Magazines IN addition to which they have recent
~ commenced the publication of a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
(" "FARmER's GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIoAL
AGRCULruRE,"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. S., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm" &C., &C.; assisted
by john p. NoRToN, 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 IL or 90 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in by the best
farmers, the best methods OF ploughng, planting,
haylng, 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 incalculable 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 each, IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be

The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal)
AND
BLAcKwOoD's EDNDURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub

them their chief value, and in that they stand
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class

Christopher NORTH maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from thu
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notabes
written for that magazine, and first appearing il

Of which numerous rival editions are issued by tn
leading publishers in this country, have to be re

In the first attempts of this Company TO meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing

ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation OF the great
number then desrous to go out, to sell tickets Tor
through passages from Panama IN advance, Tor
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who couid
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 JaueIro ut 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 impatence OF
n,ssengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an eariler day than the snip
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 oan
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able TO give the public the assurance that the
