THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

r EONARD SCOTT e. Co., No. 81 Gold street
| .Ns,o York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" farmers GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
By Henry STEPHENS, F. r. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book of the Farm" &c, &C.; assisted
by JOHN p. NoRroN, M a, New Haven, Professor
OF Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., Gel
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with 10 or 90 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &c, &c, the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render il of ncalcunble value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of GA pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and is sold IS cents EACH or IS for
the entire work In numbers, or which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows viz I:
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE J.,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW Free Church),
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion oftheir contents is devoted to political SUBJ
ects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Black,oood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher North, maintains it's ancient celebrity,
and s at this time unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
it's columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "'The Cations and "My
New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal ,"ssThe Green Hand" and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood, after u has been issued by 'Messrs Scot
g. Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

Democracy I'm Alabama. /.

Mobile papers contain reports of the proceed
ngs of the Democratic party in different coun-
ties of Alabama in relation to the election of
delegates to the forthcoming State Convention
and some Of the circumstances that are recorded
not naptly exemplify the brittleness and brevity
Of the truce which we are assured has been pro-
claimed by the leaders Of the various sections.
A meeting held in Mobile county is particu-
larly noticeable as the scene Of severe strife be-
tween the old school Democrats and the South
ern Rights men the latter insisting on the ex-
preston Of opinion on the Compromise and all
its collateral issues, while the former sought 10
sustain an appearance Of harmony by appealing TO
old party recolectons and distinctions Resolu-
tiOns and speeches are mentioned on both sides;
but the Mobile Register, albeit a Democratic
organ, contrives to hide the points Of the re-
fractory side under divers harmless generali-
ties. One fact cannot be kept out Of sight,
however, and that most important one. 1t
hatchet, and forget the past, in order TO go
unitedly to the polls, were ultimately obliged
to withdraw from the meeting called by them
selves, and to form 81 hole and corner" meet
ing elsewhere, leaving Southern Rights in pos
session of the field.
Another meeting held in Marengo, and repre-
scnting four counties, escaped this formidable
opposition, but only by bidding high for South
srn Rights support. In this instance the man
ayers took care to characterize many features Of
the Compromise as unjust, sectional, and un-
equal"-which was somewhat Of salvo to the
fre-eaters; and then, to save themselves on the
other side, they patrioticalIy added, "yet we
are opposed to a secession from the Union for
that cause" Still further, CHOSE Democrats
who, from their more ardent temperaments,
propose secession" were respectfully solicited
to cooperate with their old friends" and an
equally cordial invitation was extended to
"those numerous patriotic State Rights men
who for few years past have voted with the
late Wing party"
On both occasions the movements that have Ia
ken place with the view Of building up the Union
party exercised the Democratic wire pullers con
siderably, and more than one denounced il with
vehemence which seems to us 10 indicate a
consciousness of its vitality, and its attractive
ress to the more sober thinking members Of the
Democratic party. Certainly the Marengo re-
solutions are repulsve enough to every man
who values principle and consistency; although
the Mobile Register gives them an unqualified
endorsement and declares that they "wil meet
hearty approval from all the true Democrats
of Alabama"

nrr. smith ON the Public Printing.

The Senate was occupied yesterday with
speech of the Hon +. SMITH, Of Connecticut
in opposition to a resolution for disposing Of the
printing Of the census returns. lie thought
there need be no hurry in making provision for
such printing, but that it might be done six
months hence, and done by contract with the
lowest bidder. lie said that the policy Of late
years had been to open the public printing TO
competition--o this policy Mr. SMITH ap-
proved. On this point the honorable Senator
agrees with Mr.. RIvEs of the Globe newspa-
per; and as, in our views on this subject, we
regret to differ with the honorable Sanator, we
would submit some facts that we have thrown
together in connexion with reply 10 two or
three points in a late article Of the Globe news
paper that call for notice
Mr.. RrvEs assumes TO be an advocate of
the lowest bidder system for the execution
Of the public printing. We have con-
sistently opposed it, from a knowledge that ii
has always failed to procure good work, or even
the seasonable execution Of bad work; and be-
cause it has operated not only to injure the print
ing craft, but to degrade the topographic art
generally. Mr.. RvEs is very willing no doubt
to sustain the lowest bidder system with regard
to all the public work that he does not himself
enjoy at present under a fair-prce contract but
to show his sincerity he must first surrender The
printing Of Tie Congressional Debates and The
american ,Archires, and lei them be PIT up At
auction 10 the lorest bidder. We showed the
other day that Mr.. RrvEs had received upwards
Of $4,000 for reporting the debates Of the
House alone for a single Congress. How much
he received from the Senate for the same Con
gress we do not know, as it is charge on the
contingent fund, and does not appear in the ap-
preparation bill Suppose it to be only The sum
stated by Mr. RUEs, as d,1G4 for the long
and s2,232 for the short session, and the total

no doubt whatever that, if this same work were
put mp at auction, men would be found to bid

Me.srs. CuIlum, Yates, and Grey.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
in sketching the personal appearance and speak
ing qualities of some Of the new members OF
Congress, does no more than justice to his wor-
thy subjects in the following observations
al will name two or three members Of the House
who have made most favorable impression. Gen.
CULLUM, Of Tennessee, has u fine, commanding
personal appearance, a good voice, and an agree
able manner. He is all chivalry, and proud to be
q Tennesseean. He was for welcoming kossuth
TO the House the Senate had resolved to welcome
him TO that body, If it could be done without in
volving the House in some matter beyond and be-
hind the resolution under consideration. He was
willing 10 vote naked resolution of introduction,
but could not sanction all that he feared, from the
giyings out upon that floor, would be implied by
the passage of the resolution offered by the gentle
man from Ohio His remar ks were attentively lis
tened to and well received. He pleased the oppo-
nents Of the resolution, while he did not dispease
the friends Of Kossuth. In fine, he created an inn
precision, and at dash earned for himself reputa-
tion as IA Congressional debater of mark. He is a
noble Wing wtbal.
"Mr. YATxs a new Wing member from Illinois.
confirmed by his speech the high reputation which
preceded his appearance on the floor of Congress
as strong, able. and eloquent advocate OF repub-
lican doctrines. He is a young man OF fine per-
sonal appearance and talents. and is destined to be
shiniag member Of Congress, and an honor to
the State which sends him here one OF her proud
representatives. Another merit he has, and that
is modes,y. Mr. Yates WAS for giving the great
Hungarian such reception and welcome by Con-
grcss as his mighty deeds in the cause OF freedom
aganst the dcspotic powers of Europe justly ent
tied him to. Iii. constituents large portion of
whom were intelligent and highminded Germans
would expect this Of him, and it met with his own
entire APPRECIATION.
"Mr. GREy, OF kentucky, another new Wing
member OF fine talents and personal appearance,
made "a capital speech in favor Of the passage Of
Mr.. CARTTER's resolution. IL was but carrying
out the programme Of the invitation Of Congress,
he continued. to the great Magyar to visit the capi
tai of the nation and it did belong to the popu
lar branch Of Congress now to take steps back
ward, and refuse To keep pace with the Senate in
extending the hand Of welcome and courtesy to the
representative OF freedom in Europe. MIR. Grey
did honor to his great State and credit TO himself
by his noble, patriotic, and eloquent speech"

Congress.

In the Senate, yesterday, the joint resolution
providing for printing the returns the Seventh
Census was discussed by Mr.. SMITH.
The House of Representatives, among other
business, was engaged in discussing the report
of the Committee on Printing, that six thou
sand extra copies Of the report of the Superin-
tendent of the Coast Survey be printed-fvc
thousand for the use Of the House, and one
thousand for the use Of the Superintendent.
The report Of the committee was finally adopted.
