THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
l. AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. "a,
Gold street. New FORK, 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
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
riodicals of similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics ahd Magazines made up
Of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords a guarantee
that they are established on a 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 its 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"
& 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.

The OMNIBUS L1NE.-"And what can you
say about the Omnibus Line?" says one.
Well, l can tell you, friend, what can be
said about the line of omnibuses run
ming between the Navy Yard and Sixth
street. There was time when that line OF
stages was eagerly sought for by the weary
pedestrian, but now it is different, and why?
Because the proprietors of the line have
grown tired of obliging persons. And even
leaving favors out of the question, who would
patronize line Of stages that, if the weather
ia a little disagreeable are housed in their
respective places at shutdown? Why l, for
one, should not. Now it is fact, that many
persons have had to take Shank's mare, and
proceed to the city thereon, because there
was no stage to convey them thither, and l
myself was at the stand near the Navy Yard
gate one evening, before o'clock, and there
was no stage in which to ride to the city
Now think if the proprietors of the line
would be little more accommodating, that
they would be patronized by a large number
of citizens. The Union Line of stages is on
the route from the Capitol to Georgetown
until ten o'clock at night, and yet the line
from Sixth street to the Navy Yard is stopped
before I o'clock | have heard many say
that they cannot patronize such line, and
if the proprietors of the stages are not
little more obliging, they will find that their
patrons will be very few. This is only
hint, and should Mr.. Vanderwerken take it,
he will not lose thereby 81.
THs HAPPY THING.-A fair damsel in
New Bedford, sometime since, put the
sdoring swain into Jail, because he preached
his promise. She paid his board for two
weeks, and then went to see him, when a
aow of milk and honey took place, and they
were afterwards married This is an ex-
cellent way to settle difficulties. Prisons
are often quite useful.

Uncle Toms Cabin.

We publish an extract which we have been
allowed to make from a letter from lady
friend to her sister at the North. The views
she expresses concerning the above widely
circulated book we believe to be the genuine
sentiment of the Southern ladies in regard
to the influence of the work and the false
mission of the author:
You ask for my opinion of Uncle Toms
Cabin. and Of Mrs. HARRIET BEEcHER
STOWE. Iw.i give it to you with much
pleasure.
Il do not like this said Harriet, for she
has proved herself false to her womanly
mission-a stirrer up of strife, rather than
a peace maker" deficient in the delicacy
and purity Of a woman. inasmuch as she has
painted from her own libidinous imagination
scenes which no modest woman could con-
ceive Of know her to have given an aw
fully wicked and false representation Of the
South and its institutions
IF she wrote for money she has gained
her object, and like the hypocrites referred
to by the Messiah, she also has her reward
If she wants to obtain the passing applause
of the multitude, thrsting for stimulants
however deadly the draught may prove She
has gained fiittering Battery. If she wrote
for the reprobation Of every truth-wocinr
righ'-mindcd person. who from personal ob'
servation and knowledge, or by their sin.
cere and earnest inquiries into the truth has
attained the true knowledge, she will be ere
long overwhelmed with this compensation.
The truth is, dear NJ, the work is pow-
erful, coarse, vulgar, overwrought. deliber.
ate misstatement-a tissue of wilful, wicked
lies, from beginning to enc. The woman
has unsexed herself for one hold her in
even greater detestation than Abby Kelly
or Abby Folsom, inasmuch as she has more
and higher order Of talents entrusted 10
her keeping
The reading of her work has had one
good effect on my mind-it has given me a
horror for what we call clear, strong-minded
women. Before, | was somewhat inclined
to sympathize with some of the supposed
wrongs of women-to advocate little more
freedom for them, &c; but / would rather
be bondswoman on one of the Southern
estates than be Harriet Beecher Stowe.
II tell my 'lordly half would promise
to obey now more loudly, were we to be

Notwithstanding the earnest and special
request Of General Pierce, the President
elect, desiring to be kept in seclusion and
retirement, his apartments were besiegcd at

Of the Democracy and office-scekers. The
ground hall Of the Astor House was densely
crowded by all classes of men, from the
lowest to the highest in society. Those
who were permitted to call upon General
Pierce in his room. did so by sending their
private cards, and receiving an answer from
