THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,

THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
is q work Of more recent origin than those 1lready
described-but is, nevertheless, destined to occupy
as prominent place in the Republic Of Letters.
Tho great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
led to its establishment. There was no Journal in
the United Kingdom, which appeared to meet the
necessities Of the -Natonsl- church agitation.
Indeed, the revolution caused by the disruption
induced new state Of things, placing the actors
IN new positions Of observation: nor could they
give uiterance to their perceptions of State and
Church Policy-their new sYmathies-their new
emotions, without some organ of thought than any
hen extant. Hence the spontaneous agreement Of
the great master minds among them, in the neces-
sity Of new outlet of opinion, and the immediate
creation of the North British Review. The basis
Of this Journal is the Evangelism Of the Nineteenh
cenisry nor is it to be overlooked as one Of the
striking characteristics Of the times and the grand
principle which Robertson, Smith. and many Of
the eminent men Of Scotland took the field centu-
ry ago to write down, is now advocated and via
dicated in this able work, and in the same literary
metropolis

THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

HE W ES MIND Ek REVIEW.
This able Journal was established under the pa
tronage and support Of the ultraberals, so styled
of the British House of Commons among whom
RoWbuck, Mill, BowTing, Professor Long of the
London University, Miss Marineau, and Others
names need not be quoted, conspcuousy figured
Il was for some years under The editorial supervi
sion Of Jeremy Bentham, for which fact obtained
the sobriquet Of the mOuih-piece Of Benthanism.-
This work has ever been especially devoted to the
great topics which interest the mass ol the people
its pages has been rife, it will be remembered with
series Of powerful articles, tending to the redue-
ton Of Tory and exclusive privileges, hereditary
rights, kIngly prerogatives, &c. The astounding
developments made few years since, respecting
the wrelched and, then, unheard ofhoTors Of some
branches of the mining population Of England
first appeared in its pages. Not only have its ar.
ticles been directed against the aore-mentln-
ed abuses the work has also maintained an unre-
lenting crusade against the alliance of church and
State, thus virtually seeking to abolish the Par.
liamentary Religion of England, and eventually
TO remove the still EXISTING marks of feudalism,
which cOptinue to afflict the British nation. II
has recently become the medium through which
Golden pTomugates his Free trade doctrines,
which will give it increased interest tn the numer
Gus admirers here and elsewhere of that great Re
former. In many particulars the Westminster Re-
view espouses political faith closely allied 10 that
Of our own county; and therefore we may, with.
out any extraordinary effort of charity, be induced
to cherish it as an eXortic worthy of being engra-
ed into orr more genial soil. 1t has recently been
united with the Foreign Quarterly Review. the
more attractive features Of the two Reviews being
now combined in the Westminster, and thus ad :
ding greatly TO its value as a literary periodical.

intercourse with the Indians has obtain
ed thorough knowledge Of their lam
guage-- speaking it as fuently as ma
tive. They are 50 accustomed to his
control that if they are asked, wherever
they may be, whose Indians they are,
they will reply "Bovyer's."
The new Indian commissioner OF the
northern portion Of the state cannot con-
fer the appointment of agency upon a
man in the state better qualified by tact
and experience than Mr.. Bovyer, to fll
it's duties. In many cases Indian agents
have stirred up discords between the In
dians and whites in order to have the
reputation and profit of settling them.
Such men are dealing with means Of
destruction to the community as ma
MAC would deal with gunpowder. We
de precate the introduction among u.s.
with the numerous Indian tribes by
which we are pcrvaded from the Yuba
to the American, of men as Indian
agents whose carelessness or malicious
ness may excite ill-feeling and hostility
on the part of the Indians, and thus
create the troubles that have ragged in
other portions of the state. We throw
out these suggestion, as of Importance to
the welfare of the county.

Agricultural Fair.

We have received from Messrs. War
rem g. Co, circular exhibiting the plan
of an agricultural and horticultural fair,
designed to bo held at Sacramento on
the Goth proximo. A hall of suitable
dimensions is offered, and all necessary
aid rendered to contributors, free Of ex-
pcnsc, to arrange and display their con-
tributions. In addition, $500 in cups
and medals, as premiums, will be awar-
ded for the best specimens of fruits.
flowers, rain and vegetables that shall
be exhibited at the fair, to be awarded
by committee selected for the purpose
Articles for exhibition should be forwar-
ded before tho Goth. The hall will be
ready to receive them on the 18th.
Ono of the greatest objects to bo at
tanned by the proposed agricultural fair
is, congregating together the great ma
jority Of cultivators of the soil and rails
ers Of stock an interchanging of those
truths so essential to the success Of agri.
culture q better acquaintance with
each other; the various modes ofopera-
tions Of the past, present and future, and
the organization Of a State Agricultural
Society upon a permanent basis.
The proprictors Furthermore invite
the stock raisers Of the state to Join in
an exhibition Of their hest stock, in tho
same week as the fair Every facility
will be furnished for the occasion They
offer $3.50 to be distributed in prizes
which will be awarded by the commit
tee on stock.
The energy and enterprize of the pro-
ectors of this State Fair deserve partic-
ulur praise. The good to be obtained
by the state by this general convention
of those interested in developing that
noble branch of its resources agricul.
ture, is beyond estimate. We trust the
public will heartily second the underta'
king, and that agriculturalists will enter
fully into TIE spirit of it. A festiva
dinner, with poem and grafton and Q
grand ball, will close the occasion.
