tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,

The British Periodicals re-pubIished are as fol-
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Gree Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
BLACxwooD'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 sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedy far above all other journals ofther class
Blackwood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains it's ancient celebrity
and Isl at this tme unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notabIes
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Cations and "My
New Novel" doth by Bulwer,) 'My Peninsulnr
Medal" "The Green Hand, >" and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages
Backwood, after 1t has been issued by Jhesss. Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading ofthese fascinating tales.9

MEMORIAL,

To the Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersgned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 28th Of September 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside the
land thus granted: that If patented to them. the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoraIsts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, nc.
