THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
Il AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. "a,
Gold street, New Y ork, 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
Blackwoods 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 Eclectics ahd 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, yet
but small portion of their contents is de-
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 it's columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as The Caxtons" and My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My 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 & Co., so that
subscribers 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.

The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1853-06-01

THE KEoKuK DIsPATcH discountenances the
occasioned by its recent enlargement 1t thinks
that the spread and circulation of paper, advo.
eating such pernicious doctrines, should be
checked by the press and all other legitimate
means. In this opinion we coincide. So long
as The Tribune advocates principles hostile to
the peace, if not to the existence, of the repub-
lie, we should resist its spread and destroy its
Influence, if we can; and this, notwit ,lstanding
the ability of its conduct in other respects, and
its value as ne xspaper. There are many who
think little for themselves; they prefer to have
others think for them. They yield assent to
bad, though specious, doctrines, merely because
nor a majority, when they take up paper, place
themselves in the sight of an antagonist to the
positions of its editor; nor do they even scan
those positions with any degree of criticism
They read merely to find what the writer says,
and adopt his opinions almost mechanically !;
unless the topic be OF novel and extraordinary
interest," or, the absurdity Of the position be not
veiled by sophistries. Accordingly, when erro-
neous doctrines have secured such medium for
their diffusion, as the Ne,o York Tribune, it be-
comes the duty of all good and enlightened citi-
zens to resist its influence; and the best means
of doing that, is to limit it's circulation We
have often wondered, indeed, how the Tribune,
which is the mouthpiece of all the hideous ab
surdities of the day, has attained the reputation
of being one of the leading journals of this

Santa Anna has been inaugurated presiden,

Santa Anna has been naugurated presiden,
of Mexico and his Cabinet is formed; Alaman,
Foreign Affairs; l.ares, Justice Tumansi,
Treasury. Gen. Uiaga goes to Russia, and
Gen. Almonte to the United States. Gen. AL.
monte, it will be remembered, was Minister to
the United States at the breaking out of the
Mexican War. We hope that his present mis-
sion may meet with no such startling Interrupt
tlon. Santa Anna, so far as we can Judge from
telegraphic reports of his message, does not
seem anxious to destroy the existing relations of
amity between the sister republics His expe-
rience under different relations, we should fancy,
would not spur him t. hasty disruption of the
present ones. His first measure was muzzng
of the press. Political affairs are not permitted
to be discussed and government censorship
has been instituted Governments, whose aim
is to destroy the rights and liberties of men, be
gin with restrictions on the press, their watch
ful ahd faithful guardian. Our readers will OBJ.
serve that the silent, reserved, stealthy, bold,
cold hearted Mediocre, across the Atlantic, has
met an imtator in the one-legged prospective
majesty of Mexico.

ingly progressive people of that country, ap.

APPOINTMENT BY THE GovERNoR.-D. A.
Mahony & J. B. Dorr. TO be State Printers vice
Hornish resigned.-Dubuque Herald
From the above, which appeared in the Her
aid this morning, it is to be inferred that Ma
hony and Dorr have been appointed State Prin-
ters. Although we look upon the printing, un-
der the greatly reduced prices, as loosing busi-
ness, and so expressed ourself to Mr.. Cunning
few weeks since, we think his Excellency
should have given the publishers OF democratic
papers chance for it, if they desired it.
To appoint men who have done every thing
in their power to disorganize the democratic
party-the one in this county, and the other in
Jackson county-is, in our judgment, pro-
ceeding of doubtful policy.

THE UNITED STATES TREasuRY.-Tht
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
San writes as follows respecting the present fl.
nancial condition of the Government:
"We are rich people at least our Govern
ment has more cash than it knows what to do
with. The revenues of the fiscal year will be
sixty millions of dollars and the ordinary ex-
penditures, exclusive of redemption of the pub
lie debt, will certainly not exceed forty FIVE mill.
ions, and probably not equal forty Millions
The surplus for the year will be between fifteen
and twenty millions of dollars. The receipts
from customs during the last two months, at the
principal ports, amount to ten and quarter mill
ions of dollars, and show an excess over the
same period of last year Of two millions and a
half of dollars, or over thirty per cent. The ex-
cess for January and February over last year
was about four millions, showing an aggregate
gain for the first four months of this year over
last Of six and half millions. What is to be
done with the funds is very serious question.
Government has gone into the recesses of
change alley to pick up its own obligations at
an immense premium and is yet oppressed with
distressing plethora in the chest"
The best remedy for this excess of revenue,
is to reduce the duties and thereby tighten the
burdens of the consumer. The wings will ight
against this, as they always have. with the spe-
cious cry of, the manufacturers aoiU be ruined.
But the country has learned by this time, how
to receive these lamentations Of distress They
have learned that, out of twenty FIVE millions of
people, il is more necessary to legisla,e for the
interest of twenty four millions, engaged in ag-
riculture and kindred pursuits dependent upon
it, than for the one million engaged in manu-
featuring lfany interest is to be protected in
this country, it is the farming interest-the great
leading interest of the coun.ry-that merits it,
We have no love for the principle of protection,
because we believe it works all manner of evils
and abuses, without corresponding benefits; but
at the same time, if we must have it, let its ope-
ration be as nearly general and equal upon all
classes of industry, as it is possible for human
foresight to make it,

A QUESTION FOR LAwYERs.-The following
extract from the Paris correspondent, of the
Republic, is decidedly French. 1t starts an in-
teresting question for lawyers;
s.To whom does broken pane of glass be-
long? If you can decide under the circum-
stances of the am going now to relate,
you will set vexed question to rest. The other
night carriage, badly guided, dashed upon the
sidewalk, and the pole passed through the wn-
dow.pane of a shoemaker's shop. 1t went
through rs clean as a bullet, making round O
in the pane-and letting in streak of cold air
as smooth as a musket barrel If the pane had
been cat up by tracks like the rays Of the sun,
or the spokes Of wheel, it would have possess
ed no earthly value, Of course; but as it was,
sundry amateurs of curosities, who passed by,
declared it to be worth ten thousand fancs at
least. The shoemaker thought he had made his
everlasting fortune, and natuaiy enough claimed
the broken square. But he had counted without
his host, or, as should say, without his propri
etor. The owner of the house claimed the
smashed window glass as his own by right of
possession. The shoemaker was only his ten
ant. 1t was in vain that the latter reminded his
landlord that lie had never offered before to re :
place the window panes that he had the misfor
tune to break or have broken The landlord
insisted, but he had not foreseen a certain diff
Guilty. The insurance company that had insured
his house, not only against fire, but against
tumhling Of pieces, and earthquakes against
window breakage, claimed in its turn the right
to mend the pane and take the old one. But
the insurance company had forgotten slight
circumstance in theirway. The gazier claimed
the broken pane as one Of his traditional, imme
mortal perquisites; never, he said, had any one
vet made any objection TO his removing the
spnters and the old pstty, and doing what he
pleased with them. so here are four claimants,
and am not sure that the adroit driver will not
put in his claim, too, as the original cause of
b.eakage and the lawsuits which threaten to
grow out of it,

RAILWAYS.

Notwithstanding our position upon the rail-
road question, now being agitated in this City
and county, we are determined not to render
ourself obnoxious to the charge of unfairness
and we therefore as readily publish what favors
the present movement, as what operstes to its
prejudice.
The New Orleans Commercial BulIeton of a
late date, contains the following argument in
favor of building railroads in the state OF Louis
lana.
1t is we'll known that Pennsylvania, a few
years ago, was an insolvent State she never
repudiated, but she was unable to paythe inter
est on her public debt, and her creditors snffer-
ed accordingly. AT that time her delt amount
ed to forty millions, about $2S ,000, ,0O Of which
was contracted for constructing publ: works
Did Pennsylvania, in her times Of trouble and
trioulation, abandon her public WORKS, No !;
they were for time suspended, but in a very
short period they were resumed with ten fold
vigor. Pennsylvania has now thirty millions
invested in State works, and they the chief
source of her immense wealth and unrivalled
prosperity These works return, in the form of
tolls, enough to pay the interest on the debt,
and furnish very handsome sinking fund
Looking upon it with an eye to Immediate
profit, the debt is most advantageous invest
ment.
Then look at New Y York-s.the Empire State
as she is justly called, and made SO by her mag.
nifcent canals and railroads Her works of in
ternal improvement cost the State $35, liz ,237 !;
the whole amount of tolls derived from them
during the last year was $3,2o4 ,05l, which
gave, after deducting expenses, the net income
of $2,650,206 The average net annual income
for the last five years is So, ,5lS,044, which is
equal to capital Of fraction under $4,000
OUO at six per cent interest Her present debt
for the construction of these works remaining
unpaid is over fifteen million dollars. ertotal
debt is over $22,00O,O0O, and yet with this appa
rently heavy debt upon her, New York is about
borrowing ten millions more to enlarge her ca
nails.
Contrast Louisiana with these two States, or
rather with any other State in the Union, and
where and what are we? The prospect is too
gloomy to dwell upon. The debt absolute of
Louisiana chargeable with interest to the State
S, in round numbers, million of dollars, while
swe can enumerate eighteen States in the Union
each of which is deeper in debt than we are,
and the lowest in the scale has three miles OF
railroad built for any one we have.
But brighter day is dawnng upon US, the
day of our liberation is al hand, and although
now among the last, we may be among the first
OF the States Of the Union. Railroads are the
instruments which are to accomplish the work
Of our redemption.
