CARoLNAs DEAR BOUGHT LAND.
IRON TIE COLUMBIA TE1IpRAPH.

In Cardinals dear bought land,
Beats not a traitor heart.
Her sons, high-born noble band
Linked but in death shall part,
And in her College, learned and old,
Beat youthful splits, nee and bold.
Let no one faint the College fame
With treason's deadly dart,
Or brand it with TIE traitors name;
For In its walls each heart
Liie-blood for its State would yield,
And fighting die upon the field!
We sbhor not traitor here;
Within these classic walls
We know ne'er cowardice or fear
And when our country calls,
Well mingie in her wars and woes,
And follow her where'er she goes
And If a foreign power should win
Our freedom all away,
As true as We have ever been
Well still be true that day
Well grieve with her in al! her wees
And keep the path her wisdom shows :
But if she's victor Of the day..
Her pleasure shall be ours,
For never will we turn away
From this dear land of ours!
In veal or woe, her fate be mine,
In cloudiest rains, or brightest shine! \

Foreign Publications.


Owing to the late revolutions and counter-revou
tons among the nations of Europe which have follow
ed each other in such quick succession, and of which
the end is not yet, the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with a degree of interest
hitherto unknown. They occupy middle ground be-
TWEEN the hasty, dsionted, and necessarily imperfect
records of the newspapers and the elaborate and pom
derous treaties to be furnished by the historian at
future day. Whoever reads these periodicals obtains
current and connected accounts OF all the important
political events of the old world, as they occur, and
learns the various conclusions drawn from them by the
leading spirits of the age The American Publishers
therefore deem it proper to call renewed attention
the works they publish and the very low prices at
which they are offered to subscribers. The following
is their list
London Quarterly Revie,c, Edinburgh Revieu,
Westminster ReUieeo, " British Reuiesr
AND BLACKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE
In these periodicals are contained the views moder-
atey though clearly and firmly expressed of the three
greatest parties in England-Tory, Wing, Radical
Blackwood" and the London Quarterly are Tory;
the " Edinburgh Review " Wing; and the " West
minister Review Liberal. The North British Re
view owes its establishment to the last great ecces
| astical movement in Scotland and is not ultra in its
views any one of the grand departments of human
knowledge; it was originally edited by DIR. Chalmers,
and now since his death, is conducted by his son-n-aw
DIR. Hanna associated with Sir David Brewster. It's
literary character is of the very highest order The
Westminster, though reprinted under that title only,
is published in England under the title of the For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being in fact
union of the two Reviews formerly published and re-
printed under separate titles 1t has therefore the
advantage by this combination, of uniting in one work
the best features of both heretofore issued
| The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York
Immediately on their arrival by the British steamers
