THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE

r EONARD SCOTT Il Co., Ma. 54 Gold street
| Neio 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 valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
FARMER 5 GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
By HENRY STEPHENS, F. R. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the Shook Of the Farm, F" &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 lS or 30 splendid stetl engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of plougking, planting,
haying, ha, vesting, &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 incalculabe value TO the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS 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 BRITIsH REVIEW Gree Church),
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW Iiberal.)
BLAcKwooD' EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion fther 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 oftheir class
Rackpood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and Isl at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer 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 'sThe Caxtons" and sMy
New Novel; (both by Bulwer) "My Peninsular
Medal, +" "The Green Hand" and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood, after IL 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.

w vertisement, and to the memorial annexed,
and tender services IN the prosecution OF any
claims for Bounty Lands or Pensions, which you
may send to us. We will allow you one half our
usual fee which is fpe dollars for obtaining war

Of eighty acres less, for publishing our adver-
tisement, and preparing and forwarding the papers
to us.
If you accept this proposal, please insert this
circular and our advertisement in your paper,
with the following editorial notice.:
I'VE call the attention of our readers to the ad-
vertisement of Messrs. Duff Green, Ben. f
Green, and Richard H. Clarke, Attorneys ana
Agents at Washington, d. c., and would say
persons having claims for Bounty Lands or Pen
sions, that we have made arrangements for the
requisite forms, and that claimants calling at
office can have their papers properly prepared and
forwarded to these gentlemen at Washington,
who will properly attend to them In their proper
Offices"
Please get each claimant to sign the memorial,

MEMORIAL.
ITO the Senate oad House of Representatives qfthe
United States i'm Congress assembled s: The memo
rial OF the undersigned, 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 are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on 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 memoralists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled 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 assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

A Cloud OF Witness es.

The readers of the Union have seen the array
Of the names of "a cloud Of witnesses to prove
that General Pierce did not make the alleged
declarations in his New Boston speech and they
will no doubt be edited and amused on reading
the following from the present able colleague Of
the Union, the NeU York Herald. 1t says:
&C. member Of Congress has recently enclosed
to as q certificate, signed by q "eloud Of nit
nesses,' exceeding one hundred in number-all,
no doubt, respectable housekeeping, in general
terms, that General Pierce expressed, in his speech
at New Boston, the sentiments attributed to him.
in reference to the fugitive slave law, and giving
the substance Of ,ohat he did say, all Of which is
orthodox south Of Mason and Dizon's line. We have
been requested to publish this certificate after its
publication in some comparatively obscure journals
of the Democratic Jaith-a request with which we
modestly decline to comply. We have mortal
repugnance to the publication of any stale and
second hand documents nor, in this particular
instance does the certificate affect the real merits Of
the question"
So there now ! Is that not what we have said?
The certificate does not affect the real merits Of the
case! The affirmative has been proved, and all
the negative testimony in the world will not af-
feet it, otherwise than as it shows the double
facedness Of General Pierce and his friends
