HE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
L AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT g. Co., No "a,
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, aha
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 a similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectcs 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 guara.te tee
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 it's ancient celebrity, aud is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Buiwer and other literary
no.ables, 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"
Doth by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal, y
g 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 Il Co, so that
SUBSCRIBE rs to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.
ne Remittances and communications
should be always addressed, post paid, to
the publishers LEONARD SCOTT & co.

DAILY EVENING STAR.
LUcREzIA BoRsIA.-The character of this
man, which has been so graphically de-
pirted by Mrs. Farren at the National Thea
irs during her engagement, is thus describ
ed oy Grace Greenwood in one of her letters
from Rome, and published in the National
Era: =
Yesterday we visited the Doiia and Cor
SIM palaces. The former is a most beaa-
tif"l and princely residence. but is not re-
ma4'kably rich in works OF art. Though
these are in it's galleries several pictures by
Guido, Claude Rubens, Murillo, Raphael,
Titan, and other great masters, they are
MOI among those masters great works. La
Que of the galleries, was suddenly arrested
by he portrait of a woman, young and re-
sp'tudentIy beautiful, yet which seemed to
fling down upon me from the wall power
ful and baneful spell. Wishing to feel to
tine utmost, to analyze, and, if possible to
understand this strange and startling in
fuence, l stood long before the picture
without looking at the catalogue to ascer-
tain its name. 1t is the portrait of woman
i'll the full bloom and ripeness of beauty,
with a rich, glowing expression. auburn
hair, and dark brown eyes. Her form is
perfectly rounded, her throat and hands of
hoo,tu opd bor drooe ro,,Il,, l,,x,.;
Gus. But in the face, declare to you, |
read as clearly as though they had been set
down in book, all the most strange, and
DIRK, and strong, and contradictory quail
ties and passions ever cengregated in one
mortal nature, and arrogantly and fatally
manifest in one human embodiment. Iu-
tellest, keen and subtle-sensuality, low
aua reckless-burning love and cold cruelty
-imperiousness, revengefulness, voluptu-
Oushess, and utter falsehood 1t is the por-
trait of Lucrezia Borgia, by Guido Romano
A GOOD STORY.-A capital story is told
of Judge Tappan, a Senator in Congress,
who is unfortunately cross-eyed a num-
Der IF years ago he was Judge of newly
organized county court in the eastern part
ut Ohio
L" those days of primitive simplicity, or
perhaps poverty, the bar-room of tavern
W ~ used as court room, and the stable as
jail. One day during the session of the
court, the Judge had occasion to severely
repr mand two lawyers who were wrangliug.
An odd looking customer who sat in one
corne r, listening apparently with great sat-
isf,ction to the reproof, and presuming on
Old cquaintance and the Judges we'll known
good humor, sung out:
Give it to them, old gimblet eyes 70
''vho was that ." inquired the Judge
1t was this ere old hoss," answered the
chap, raising himself up.
Sheriff. said the Judge with great
gravity, stake that old boss and put him in
the stable"

consump,ion this year "will be far greater"
than last, is unreasonable.
The two gas holders now in use, ani In good
order, have capacity of 100000 cubic feet
There are Is benches Of retorts. The Super.

nine benches of retorts; at this rate the six
teen benches will make 10000 cubic feet
which is SO, 600 cubic feet per "a hours more
than has yet been called for. So that here Is
a margin for such repairs as these retorts may
require. But if more be required, there Is

other branch of operations. Why then 60 to

by the addition of new holder, the work
OF two benches of retorts can be dispensed
with, thereby lessening tine labor in the rotor
house, wear and tear, and in fuel likewise.
Now more retorts are required, another de
pot required, and Of course more labor, more
wear and tear, and more fuel necessarily foi

PATENT SAFETY LAMP.-On Thursday we had
the pleasure of examining new and complete
safety lamp, invented by Mr. Jas D Evans i'm
porter and dealer in crockery at No III Wesl
Main street. Having infinitely examined the epe
rations of this lamp when filled with the most in
fsmable and explosive of fluids, camphine, we
cheerfully accord to Mr.. Evans tribute of praise
for his valuable and life preserving patent 1t is
well known that scores of lives are lost yearly by
the explosion and premature burning of cam
phene lamps Mr. E, after visiting coal mine and
| Witnessing the operation of one of the lamps or
ginated by Sir Humphrey Davies, resolved if DOS
sible, to embody the same principle in an ordinary
glass; lamp, which would render as innoxious az
oil lamp filled with the ordinary burning fluid OF
| csmphine. He has accordingly introduced into
| the common lamp large wire tube containing SIC
delicate crevices to the square inch, which tube
extends from the top to the bottom of the lamp
By this tube all spontaneous conn uston is obvia
| ted. 1t confines the flame and prevents explosion
We saw on yesterday the wick and tube holding the
wick extracted from lamp filed with camphine
| a nd match applied to the combusibe Hquid--
Fire of course resulted, but there was no explo
| sion, and the light of burning fluid and camphins
was as harmless as that issuing from a common
candle. We consider this invention of Mr.. Evans
as one of the most valuable, useful and life saving
of the day. The consumers of camphns or burn
| ing fluid should certainly use these safety lamps

FIRE.-The alarm of fire yesterday morning.
about one O'Clock, proceeded from the burning of
barn and stable, belonging to Mr.. Alexander
hutcherson, on the plank road, three miles from
the city. The stock and corn in the stable were
also destroyed. We have rot ascertained the
amount OF the loss.

this power is called the Ckromatic battery
The machine is capable of producing, from
