THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMEk'S GUIDE.


EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 54 Gold street
IL .Ntp York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood' ,
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
iy commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
S" FARMER's GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcr,cAI
AcRIcULTURE,"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor OF the Book Of the Farm" &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN P. MORTON, M "A, New Haven, Professor
OF Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with l6 or 20 splendid steel engravings
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style or the art, illustrating almost every
implement OF husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of poughng, 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 it of incalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers OF ia pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each or SIS for
the entire work in numbers Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW (Conservative)
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW (Free Church,,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Uiberal.)
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion ofther contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class
Black,oood, still under the masterly guidance of
Christopher North maintains it's ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "M y
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsula,
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials
Of which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be rel
printed by those publishers from the pages O.
Blackwood, after It has been issued by Messrs. Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL ST A M 6H Up
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA

TNHE public viii be gratihed TO learn that the
i United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants OF travel TO California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS TO go out, To sell cts for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
irom deslIe to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties and the preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach panasl
These interruptions all removed.
Three of the four shps of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco aud back So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN
ITHMUS, Capt. HlrcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PoRrER, u. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, u. S. NJ
FALCON, Capt, HARTsrEiN, u. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
