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

OWING to the late revolutions and counterrevo-
" lutons among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each c!her quick succession, and of which
the end not yet the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the has,y, dsjoned, and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the elabo-
and ponderous tseatses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem i, proper call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is

three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
dical--s' Hlackwood " and the I" London Quarterly "

the " Westminster Review" Liberal. The" North
British Review y owes its establishment TO the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views any one o, the grand depart
ments of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DIR. Chalmers and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law, DR. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The " Westminstef," though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng.
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster - il being in fact union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted uadcr sepa-

At the IoO price Of ONE d OLL.aR per amman,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting of the entertaining and
news matter Of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry. fs40
HUoH Il. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t Is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citzens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous. no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been insled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, ut period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
knowit to be impossible.

shed requires that the subscription be paid al

A Mans Sphere.

At the Womans' Rights Convention,
recently held in Akron, Ohio, Mrs. Coe,
in commenting upon some resolutions Of
fered by Mrs. Swisshelm, walked into the
masculine gender iii the following slash
ing style:
Something has been said of the differ
ent spheres in which the sexes are to
move, and ara glad for once to hear an
attempt made in the resolutions of Mrs.
S. to limit that of man. l have always
heard that he had sphere, but no one
before, | believe, has ever thought OF
prescribing bounds to it. His sphere has
hitherto been all over creation, and if by
any Yankee invention he cold contrive
means to get out of it would be perfectly
legitimate. Laughter He may not
only engage in the most noble, but wher-
ever there is a copper to be turned, may
descend to the most common and igno-
BILE pursuits, without encroaching in the
least on the boundaries of the sphere Of
any other being.
He may not only study and practice
the professions, engaged in extensive
manufactures and mercantile enterprises
but it is considered perfectly legitimate
for him to descend to the minutest de-
tails of lady's toilet. He may sell hair
pins, combs, brushes, thread, needles,
breast-pins, ear and fnger-rings, doll-ba-
bies, with all the ct ceteras of child's
playhouse, gingerbread, beer by the
glass, and even sugar candy by the pen
ny's worth, if there is any money to be
made from it, Laughter;] and it has not
inaptly been said of him, that if he were
to have life's lease Of heaven, on con-
dition of being perfectly contented with
it, and should hear sixpence drop on
the floor of hell, he would feel an itching
palm until he had contrived some means
to slip down and pick it up. [Applause
and laughter.] The creed written on hi;
young heart from the moment he leaves
his mothers apron strings, is
"Go get you gold, no matter how,
No questions asked of the rich | trow;
Steal by night and steal by day,
Doing it all in legal way;
Be hypocrite, liar, knave or fool,
But don't be poor (remember the rule;)
Dimes and dollars, and dollars and dimes
An empty pocket is the worst of crimes >

A bullethad passed directly through his heart,

And then what occurred =

was buried with the military honors, and six
weeks after was welded to the young belle
of Cadiz, and took possession of large es-
