SIR: am instructed, on behalf of the james
River and Kanawha Company, to ask the privi-
lege of furnishing, from their granite quarry on
the James river, the bed-stone for the corner of
the Monument, to be erected by Virginia in
honor of George Washington. His memory is
cherished with generation by all as the Father
of his country To us he stood in a relation to
which we recur with grateful satisfaction. He
was one of the earliest of those who suggested
connexion between the eastern and western
waters, through the valleys of the James and
Kanawha rivers-was the first President of the
Company, and the enlightened and unwavering
friend of the great improvement to the day of
his death.

sociate the company in the imposing evidence
Of affection and respect, about to be given by
Virginia to her illustrious son, may not be dis

have the honor to be, with the highest re-
spect, your obedient servant,

QUARTERLY REVIEWS.

Owing to the late revolutions and counter-revouons
~ among the nations of Europe, which have followed
each other in such quick succession and of which the
end is not YETI the leading periodicals of Great Britain
have become invested with degree of interest hitherto
unknown. They occupy middle ground between the
hasty donted and necessarily imperfect records of the
newspapers and the elaborate and ponderous treaties

reads these periodicals obtains correct and connected
count of all the important political events of the Old
World, they and learns the various conclusions
drawn them by the leading spirits of the age The
American publishers therefore deem proper to call
attention TO the works they publish and the very
prices which they offered TO subscribers The
following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW and
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.

though clearly and firmly expressed of the three greatest
parties in England-Tory, Wing and Radical Black

burgh Review" Wing, and the Westminster Review"

Brewster Its literary character Is of the very highest
order. The Westminster though reprinted under that
title only published in England under the title Of the
Foreign Quarterly and Westminster It being in fact
union of the two Reviews formerly published and reprinted
under separate titles 1t has therefore, the advantage by
this combination Of uniting in work the best features
of both, as heretofore issued.
