THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
Il AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

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,) ana
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
Oh 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 in telligent
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
chef 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"
< 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
hcen 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.
~ Remittances and communications
should be always addressed, post paid, to
the publishers. LEONARD SCOTT & CO.

FROM THE COASTOF AFRICA


IHE EXTINGUIsHMENT OF THE SLAVE TgADE
The steamship Prometheus has arrived in Eng

two years and half.
The boats of the English man of war PoIypbe.
mus had landed party of men on the river She
Dor, near Lagos, who had burnt the villages on
the banks on account of some acts of piracy.-
Commander Foote, of the Prometheus, had re-.
turned from mssion to Abbrakoutall the object
OF which was to open up friendly relations with
that people. The mission was successful. All
the chiefs promised to give up the slave trade,
and were giving encouragement to the mission

OF Sierra Leone. Abbrakoutah is thirty miles to
the North OF Sierra Leone, the route to it BEING
through most delightful and productive country
which is stated to be capable of growing cotton,
&c, in very large quantities. Dr. Iryi0g, of the
Prometheus accompanied Commander Foote on
his mission, and collected the requisite materi
ais for work descriptive of the capabilities of
the country, and the characteristics of the people
OF Abbrakoutah, place which bids fair to open a
wide heldf for the civilization of the interior of this
portion of Africa. They were, however, engaged

dagny, having there an army of twenty thousand
mon, who were occupied ia storming that place.
The King of Dahomy was, however, reported to
be on the point of attacking his old enemies the
Aberakoutahs, having an army collected for that
purpose. Trade was brisk, and considerable ex-
portations of gold dust, ivory, gum, &C., were
taking place.-BoSton Traveller.

thousand dollars to the treasury of the American
Colonization Society, I have according to the
constitution of the society, been made director

which were intended not only to express the kind
feelings of the donors towards myself, but their
interest in the general objects of the society.
