BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
premiums tO New Suhacrihpra

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" lutions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each othc- 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 a middle
ground between the hasty DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous treases to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem II proper TO call renewed attention
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,

The Appendix.

 It is not for to dispute ~ith the Auditor as to his srsifAg for judicial leeision to Gscsrs1n tAGt Ae has erred; but it strikes us, tha, he is bound to pay for the "traudulens" account of Tibbe.ts for the eepyng the appendix, he is, on the same prn- eple. most clearly bound 10 reimburse the State for the fraudueny' payment to Hayde1, for the P-nhng of it.
 We admit that the excuse of the Auditor for pay ing T!bbetts account tAat II lGas shortly after iis first sIeefiOn ani less tAus acrek from ths trse he frst entered s d.Itiss ef tAs qsee of Auditor is reasonable and probable, as an error of this kind might honestly have been committed by person first entering upon the discharge of the duties of an ofhce. to which be was unused. But the payment to Hayden for printing ths appendix was made SIX or seven months aiier he had en- tered upon the discharge of hts dstes as Auditor. snd he same plea did not ex;s..
 Hsydens account for printing the appendix was as much before the Auditor as any similar account certified by the Secretary of State ever was, and he is as much bound to refund 10 the State the smoun: for ihe JrHlPuieat printing, as for the ac- eouHtfor the foEu4Eiens eoEyang.
 We forbesr. however. to extend our remarks on this subject. IL is obvious to every person, ths, when the attempt to manufacture political capital out of this public printing was made. the plotters foresaw neither the inconsistencies and absardies into which their tgst move led nor the rdicrle and disgust to which prevareatioa and sophistry to sustain il, would expose them.
