NTASON'S PATENT PURIFIED
NU SnerUn OIL

This oil, for briancy, durability, and purity as
light and for lubrcating purposes, whether applied
to the delicate works of watch or the most ponde-
rous machinery, surpasses any oil now known.
II is warranted not to gum, being entirely deprived
OF that substance. which seriously impedes the
pid movement of all kinds of machinery; and for
burning is cheaper and better than any oleagnous
substance now in
While it affords light superior to gas campbne,
it is also free from the dangerous explosive quality
of the latter, being solely sperm oil purified.
So pure is this Oil that it will not freeze any de-
gree of cold known within the limits of the United
States; having thereby in this in every other par
ticuar an advantage the best sperm oil as now
used
After devoting many years in experimenting with
the various oils for the purpose of overcoming their
impurities at present fabricated the undersigned
the public that he has succeeded in producing
the " ne plus ultra of oils He offers it as superior
to any known oil in the world for the purposes of
burning and ubricating, and invokes the scientific
of all countries to test and pronounce their opinion
satisfied that all will agree that it is the finest oil
ever offered for sale

ASHLAND, goth July, 184s.
Dear Sir: wish to express to you the qualification
derived on receiving the July number of the Mer-
chants Magazine and Commercial Review, from view
ing your portrait in the beginning, and from reading
your address to your friends at the end of it. When
we feel under obligations to those who have contrib
uted to our information and amusement we are nat
uraly DESTROYS to possess knowledge of them of
their appearance, of the features of their counten-
ance and Of the character and habits of their mind
which we can acquire. You have placed your mum
erous readers Cat least you have me, if 1 may not
speak for them) under those obligations and the
number of your valuable work now before me, in
some degree, satisfies the desire to which have allu
ded.
have become quite familiar with the Magazine
and Review, and have no hesitation in expressing my
humble opinion that it is eminenty entitled to the
public regard and support 1t collects and arranges
in good order, large amount of valuable statistical
and other information, highly useful only to the
merchant but to the statesman, to the cutivaor of
the earth, to the manufacturer. to the mariner in
short to all classes of the busir and reading
munity. Z
Entertaining this opinion, I am glad that it has
been, and hope that it may continue to be- literally
patronized.
Offering you cordial assurances of my esteem and
regard, am truly your friend and obedient servant

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
L AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

AM DLdChHOOD MA0 T..
Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT g. Co., No. 81,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig)
The North British Review, Free Church,
The Westminster Review, (Liberal,) and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory. J
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, Notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American pc
radicals of similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics ahd Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the hi gh estimation
in which they aHe held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords guarantee
that they are established on firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
but small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains it's ancient celebrity, and is 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 the United States. Such works
as " The Caxtons'' and "My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
sc The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.

should be always addressed, post paid, to

WASHINGTON CITY, April 20, 1S49.
VT. freeman hunt SIR: owe you many thanks
for the opportunities have had to read the Merchants
Magazine, and have found it in reality to be Maya
zine, and that we'll re,lenshed. of all the useful
matter which the title would imply, and presented
with fullness and clearness which delights while It
instructs. 1t is, in fact, merchants magazine in
the large acceptation of the termmerchants who 90
between nations, whose large operations bring many
departments OF knowledge and view of the state IF
the world, into daily requistion. But it is not the
great merchant only, but the of more modest,
but. nevertheless, of most useful operations-the
ga1ine to abound with the information the pursuit
OF MS business and the elevation Of the mercantile
character requires Nor is its utility at all confined
70 but extends to the legislator and diplo
matist, and to all who are charged with manao;no
the affairs OF the nation. For myself have found
1t most useful to ME in my senatorial labors and
hsve been IN the habit for many years of carefully
consulting it. '
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant.
THOMAS II. BENTON.
