BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers.

Owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutons among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end not yet" the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground bstween the hasty, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous trcases to be by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem 1t proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
dical-ss Blaclwood and the &C London Quarterly D
are Tory the ssEdnburgh Review Wing; and
the " Westminster Review " Liberal The" North
British Review - owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is moi
ultra in its views any one Of the grand depart
mcnts of human knowledge; it originally edited
by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con
Quoted by his son-in-law, DIR. Hanna associated will
Sir David Brewster Its literary character is of the
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster >; it being in fact union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa
rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by thi.
combination of uniting in work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York
Immediately on their arrival by the British steamers
in beautiful clear type on fine white paper, and are

"LABoRs OF CONGRESS-. Under this cap
ton the Newark Advertiser happily epitomises
the results thus far Of the present national egisa-
ture:-
''Congress has been hard at work for FIVE
months past; but we are sorry not to be able to
inform the public what it has performed 1t has
discussed the foreign policy of the country under
Its Intervention aspect ,out of which nothing prac-
teal WAS expected. 1t has spent weeks in try
ing 10 come to some arrangement respecting the
puclic printing to satisfy the claims Of parry,
profit and power, but nothing has been effected
1t has succeeded IN giving away few millions of
the public lands; but, notwithstanding ntermin-
able debates, II has not decided how to get rid of
the fourteen hundred thousand acres of the COM
mon property of all the States. If talking, how
ever, will effect it, aud if we NAV be allowed to
conjecture, that members will vote according to
their peculiar interests, uninfuenced by public
justice, prediction may be hazarded, that few
more millions will be given away to private com
panles; and the balance abandoned, like Cafor-
MA mines, TO the first corners, no matter whether
inhabitants of the United States, or citizens of the
Celestial Empire. Upon the Deficiency Bill, we
should think sufficient had been said, but moth
ing has been done.
In the meanwhile, the topics recommended by
the President in his Annual Message, agreeaby
to the requirement of the Constitution, have
none ofthem been touched. So that we have
the remarkable spectacle presented of the con-
gregated wisdom of the nation directing its at
ention during the whole period of upwards of
five months to variety of matters: but not enc
ofthem among the subjects, which the Chief
Magistrate deemed worthy of particular notice at
the beginning of the session.

Kossuth at FaneniI Hall.

On Friday evening, 14th inst, Kossuth delivered
his farewell address TO the citizens of Boston, in
Faneuil Hall. The Hall was filed by the holders
of Hungarian Bonds-the galleries being almost ex.
cusvely occupied by ladies'.
Hon Myron Lawrence, previous TO the arrival
Kossuth, addressed the meeting in commentator OF
the great Hungarian's cause and mission; and was
followed by the Rev. John Pierpont who argued in
favor ofthe doctrine of intervention. Dr. Kittridec
and w. A. White severally spoke few words, and
were followed by the Rev. Mr. Slicer Of Baltimore,
Chaplain of the U. S. Senate. whose speech was
interrupted by the entrance into the hall OF Gov,
Louis Kossuth.
The meeting was called to order by Hon. Henry
Wilson, President of the Massachusetts Senate,
and N. P. Banks, Speaker of the House of Repre-.
sentatives, chosen to preside.
Mr. Banks, in short, eloquent, and most appro-
pirate speech, introduced the illustrous Magyar to
the meeting, who, in speech Of two hours dura-
ton, held the audience il GREATNESS interest
hossuth declared that struggle to Europe was
not chmerical ides-a dream of the republicans;
but thing resolved upon, and inevitable. He
painted the position of France, and the consequences
that must issue from it. The revolutionary organ-
qaion' he said, was complete in Italy, and il was
only Austria and Russia that kept the petty SOW
ereigns on their thrones He spoke of the intense
hatred that existed in Hungary against Austria and
urged the American people to express their svnoa.
thy for his cause, which was that of liberty to the
world.
kossuth cordially shook hands with many pres
en and retired amidst loud and enthusiastic cheer.

FIRE IN THE WooDs.-A correspondent of the
Woonsocket Patriot gives an account Of an eXen'
sige fire which has burnt over about five thousand
.acres of land, commencing on the south eastern
Slope of Buck Hill. 1t commenced on Friday morn
ing 7th inst, aud was not arrested until Sunday
morning, 9ih inst The correspondent ofthe Paui-
OF says:
'HeadIfres were started and wide strips in the
woods swept clean, in order that the fires by meet.
ing from below, might not pass over them. Gene
rally these efforts unsuccessful; and wherever
they were not, the satisfaction felt at was
suddenly destroyed, by fire coming up in the rear,
and driving far beyond before the wind. This
cured several times during the day, and reused the
credulous suspicious that human agency allied
with the elements; and in Others wonder that they
conld be SO ba1lled by wind and fire alone. Nor
were these suspicious without foundation, since this
region, as well as some other parts of cultivated
and enlightened New England, is infested with "A
species of animal called 'gronnd gamblers"
The loss is not so great might at first sup
pose. The soil is very poor-the timber young,
and small offs age.
The same section, (and much more) was burnt
over by furious conhagration in May, 1926, when
even every fence reduced to ashes, and the
whole region laid open to common. These woods

THE AGITATION WILL GO oNi-The Southern
Press evidently thinks the prospect for slavery is
very dark. Il says:
We observe that the controversy concerning the
Imprisonment of foreign colored seamen in the South
has been revived by Great Britain and on that sub
ject she will probably have the cooperation of
France. We shall soon be called on to act on the
question Of admitting New Mexico, and that of d.
plomaic intercourse with St. Domingo-and there
are many contingencies, now Unforeseen that must
arise and keep this exasperated question before the
country.
Is it not too bad that such delightful system as
slavery should be held up to the public gaze in spite
OF all that can be done to stop the discussion of its
mefits2

''CATo" IN TRoUBLE.-George S. HiIIard,
Esq, publishes card in the Boston Courier, de-
claring that ''Cato's assertion that Sumner wrote
Gen. Wilson's reply to billiard, two years ago,
is absolutely fllse.' The other story that Cato
told about Gen. Wilson and Boston merchant,
has also been pronounced false, and The editor of
the Springfield Republican has in effect, though
with rather an Ill grace,s reracted the assertion.
Poor Cato Jared hard. He is evidently sincerely
DESTROYS of becoming an accomplished liar; his
aspirations are high in that line, but his attempts
are terribly clumsy. The poor creature some
times also attempts to be sarcastic and severe,
but his failures are very melancholy He has
mistaken his vocation. He had better leave off
writing letters and stick to cold vctuals and re-
porting, his two other resources, which, however
precarious, may keep him out of the alms-house
a while longer.-LoweU .4mericGa.
