BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
And the British Qusrterly Reviews.


OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo-
" lutions among the nations of Europe. which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which "e end is not yef" the leading peri
odcals of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle or, and between the hasty. disjoint-
cd, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous trcatscs to
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem 1t proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, anc
the very low prices at which they arc offered TO
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,

and the Westminster Review" Liberal The
" North British Review" owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views any Of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now. since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-law, DR.. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is Of tie very highest order The "Wcst

fellow creatures. lie is social creature, and
could not indulge this natural instinct without
paying due regard TO the feelings and rights Of
Others This reasoning faculty is The parent OF
conscience, if not conscience itself and if man
were as he was originally created, n the likeness
of his Maker, he would require no other guide,
and no other restraint But until he shall return
once more to that state of perfectibilty, he is
not to be trusted when under the guidance OF
reason and conscience alone. He requires a
tighter rein. The bull must be taken by the
horns, if we expect to keep him from goring
others.
The preceding remarks are principally appli-
cable to those who sincerely, and in good faith,
strive TO obey the dictates Of conscience, aud TO
curb the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the passions. But
how many are there OF these, in comparison with
such as make conscience mere cloak for the
indulgence Of those very passions !-who sub.
stitute their stubborn will, their personal inter
ests and feelings their prejudices, their ambitions
their revenge, their love and their hate, for con-
us they please, and convert that which was in
tended as u restraint into letter of license for
its violation! Some of the greatest scoundres
have ever known, were, if you believed them,
the most conscientious rascas in existerce--
Their conscience was the most plant tool in the
world, and they, for the most part, acted as il
they had no conscience whatever.
The adoption of +" the higher law" as the gen
eral rule of action in any State or community
would therefore, according to the view have
taken, operate to produce complete subverson
of the present state Of social organization
There would be no rule of action applying
equally to all, for no two conscences are alike
in all respects, being framed or modified by an
nfnitude of circumstances, many of them en-
tirelv accidental, and consequently no two men
would be governed by the same principles
There would be no puni-hments, for there would
be no crimes-since it would be the height OF
cruelty and injustice to inflict penalty for act
ing in accordance with our conscences; and
there would be nc rights Of property, because il
would undoubtedly suit every mans conscience
in this happy state Of nature, to help himself to
whatever he wanted.
1t may be said am going to extremes but if
so, am only following fanaticism, which never
stops in the middle. 1t can never be extin-
guished till it has burnt itself out, or can find no
more fuel to light its fires. 1t is now in strict
alliance with socialism and those who believe
there is no danger from their combined efforts in
the United States, must shut their eyes to the
progress of both, within the last few years. That
progress, so far as relates to Abolition, will be
sketched in a succeeding letter.

The architectural department has been under

known and very competent architect, John Havi-
land, Esq, whose great experience and ability
have enabled him to erect building which, for
beauty of stl ucture, Is unequalled.

Grain, and r. Smith, have been engaged on the
scenery and decorations, which will present the
works of a combination OF scenic artists, of ex-
cellence never before seen.
