circulation and influence with other publications
the same class they have unequivocal evidence of it's

NTASON'S PATENT PURIFIED
iSk Snern1 OIL

This OIL for brilIiancy, durability, and purity
light. and for lubricatng purposes, whether applied
to the delicate works of watch the most ponde-
rous machinery, surpasses any oil now known.
1t is warranted not to gum, being entirely deprived
of that substance. which seriously mpedes the
lid movement of all kinds of machinery; and for
burning it is cheaper and better than any oleagnous
substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas camphine
it is also free from the dangerous explosive quality
of the latter, being solely sperm oil purified.
So pure this oil that it will not freeze at any de-
gree of cold known within the limits of the United
States having thereby in this, in every other par
tcular, advantage the best sperm oil as now
used
After devoting many years in experimenting with
the various oils, for the purpose Of overcoming their
impurities at present fabricated, the undersigned
assures the public that he has succeeded in producing
the plus ultra Of oils He offers it as superior
to any known oil in the world, for the purposes of
burning and lubricating and invokes the scientific
of all countries to test it and pronounce their opinion
satisfied that all will agree that it is the finest oil
ever offered for sale.

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES

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, (Whig,)
The North British Review, Free Church,
The Westminster Review, Liberal, and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, (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 a 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 a 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 small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their

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
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.

it most useful to me in my senatorial labors, and
have been in the habit for many years of carefully
consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant.
