The yearly Quaker Meeting in New
York ended week ago. The broad-brims,
after bringing weeks rain upon US, as
usual, have gone back to their farms and
meeting houses--the consequence Of which
is that we are now enjoying fine weather.
1t is a remarkable fact in natural history,
that when the Quakers come 10 New York
it always rains; but, whether the rain be
caused by the Quakers, or the Quakers by
the rain, is more than we know. We only
know that the two events come together,
and we should like TO hear some
rational explanation Of the mystery. 1t is
only two or three years since they changed
their time Of meeting from the first 10 the
third week in May, but the rainy weather
always awaits their arrival, nOvertheless.-
Brother Jonathan.

would be etiquette to catch the parasol of a

l. AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
Important reduction in the rates of post

Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, CWhig,)
The North British Review, Free Church, J
The Westminster Review, Liberal, and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Mag azine, (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
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 aEe held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords q 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. vet
but a 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;
Cloth 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.
