4 CHAPTER ON DRAM SHoPs.-The last
number of Blackwood's Magazine has the
following upon dram shops:
"Beer houses and gin palaces, as they
are now, are moral pest houses they want
severe regulations. We know not how to
think decently of our Government, while
notorious bands of thieves, prostitutes, and
murderers are almost protected, and bru-
talities increase. The fact is, the whole
law of punishment has been relaxed When
we read of the Standings, the cruel mutila-
tions, and the butcheries which so often
occur, and feel certain that the names and
haunts of the monsters who commit these
crimes are we'll known, and see the cem-
parative IMMUNITY that meets them, we feel
that something is wanted in our Govern
ment. Beer houses and gin palaces foster
these scoundrels and their crimes, no doubt.
Not that they are the drunks-ds; the
drunkards are their victims, and enticed
into these dens. Your thorough villain is q.
cool man; he goes unintoxicated about his
work"

Letter from Hon. Henry Clan.

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
urally desirous to possess knowledge of them of
their appearance of the features of their counter
ance and of the character and habits of their mind
which we can acquire. You have placed your num-
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 emnently entitled to the
public regard and support 1t collects and arranges
IN good order, large of valuable statistical
and other information, highly useful not only to the
merchant but to the statesman to the cultiyator of
the earth, to the manufacturer to the mariner in
short to all classes of the business and reading COM
munty
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

Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & 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, J 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 aid 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 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 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 it's columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as s" The Caxtons" and My New Novel;
(both by Bulwer,) ssMy Peninsular Medal"
s. 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 g. Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint Of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.
GO Remittances and communications
should be always addressed, post paid, to
the publishers. LEONARD SCOTT s. co.

DAILY EVENING STAR.
A Hint to Rising Statesmen.

"One reason" says writer in the Bos-
ton Transcript, "why the South has taken
almost all the Presidential nominations, has
been, that her politicians are better cultiva-
ted, socially, than ours, and are making
capital with the leaders at Washington, In
the drawing room and at the dinner table
while our Northern politicians are spending
all their force in making long and eloquent
speeches. There is great influence in
speeches and orations, undoubtedly but
there are times and seasons when smiles and
oyster sauce make a greater impression"
Elsewhere the writer observes: /" The
true secret of Mr.. Clay's undying populari-
ty was, that his manner was so genial and
engaging, that those who had once APP
preached him never forsook him. So, too,
Mr.. Calhoun's magical influence in South
Carolina may be traced mainly to the same
cause. All who were honored with his &C.
quaintance always loved him. One of our
citizens who happened at one time to be in
Charleston when Mr.. Calhoun arrived there
from Washington, and saw how the citizens
gathered around him, and witnessed the
frank, easy and natural manner with which
all classes saluted him and entered into con-
versation with him, without form or intro
duction, was quite amazed, it was SO diff
ferent from anythinghe had seen North
