OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" buttons among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other 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 middle
ground between the hasty, dsJonted, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers and the elabo
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at 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.
In these periodicals are contained he views mode

SILVER COINAGE.
m Scarcity and the Remedy.

QF We are glad to perceive that The House oil
Representatives have at last adopted the resolu-
ton submitted by MIR. Chandler, in relation TO the
existing scarcity of silver coin. The subject will
now, we trust be fully investigated and promptly
acted upon. Already the inconvenience is great,
and it is daily increasing. The resolution OF MIR.
Chandler is quite comprehensive, and covers the
whole ground II states that in consequence oil
the large supplies Of gold from California and 9TH
er parts ofthe world, the proportion between that
metal and silver is rapidly changing, thereby al
fecting their relative values and rendering the lat
ter metal an article of merchandise rather than
currency, and causing its circulation as money to
cease at its nominal value. That under the cir
cumstances the silver coins of the country are be-
ing largely exported; and in consequence OF the
premiums offered for them by dealers in bullion,
they are being rapidly Withdrawn from circulation,
thereby subecting the banks and business CON-
munity TO great and growing Inconvenience from
The scarcity of these coins for the purpose of ma
king change. Is
Il is therefore proposed that the Committee on
Commerce be instructed to inquire into the expe-
dency Of reducing the value of the silver coins oi
e1he United States, by diminishing their weight or
OF increasing the proportion Of alloy in the same,
or both, so as to prevent their expectation; and
that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise
This matter is therefore in the hands of proper
committee, and we indulge hope that they will
give it immediate attention. The subject is a
grave one, and involves the most important con-
siderations Doubtless the committee will deem
it exped;ent to consult some Of our leading bank
ers, fnanciers, and political economists, with the
object as well of discovering the true cause the
difficulty alluded TO, as of applying the proper
remedy. That the evil is serious, is fact conce-
ded on all hands Specie is now sold by the bro
keIs of Philadelphia at premium Of three pei
cent. In other words, hundred dollars in gold
will command but ninety seven dollars in silver
This condition Of affairs of itself, is calculated al
once 10 drive the latter metal out OF circulation
for all persons whc happen to have any consider
able amount, sell it at premium, instead OF pas
sing il from hand TO hand, as is the case in ordna
times The brokers, indeed, have been doing
ouite lively business in this way for some weeks
past. The case is particularly hard upon Penn
sylvania. where we hare no small note currency
except that Of limited character, under the de
termination OF relief notes. Many Of these, too
are 80 ragged and filthy, that they are almost unf
