Gaming, smoking swearing, drinking,

Chattering nonsense all day long,
Humming half an opera song;
Choosing baubles, rings and jewels,
Writing verses, fighting duels;
Minching words in conversation,
Ridiculing all the nations;
Admiring their own pretty faces,
As if possed of all the graces;
And though no bigger than rat,
Peeping under each girls hat.

BLACKWooD's MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

NWING to the late revolutions and the coun-
~ ter-reyolutions among the nations of Eu-
rope, which have followed each other In quick
succession, and of which ssthe end is not yet, -
the leading periodicals Of Great Britain have
become invested with degree of interest hith-
erto unknown. They occupy middle ground
between the hasty, disjointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the
elaborate and ponderous treatises to be furnish
ed by the historian at future day. Whoever
reads these periodicals obtains correct and
connected account of all the important political
events of the Old World, as they occur ard
learns the various conclusions drawn from theE,
by the leading spirits Of the age. The Ameri-
can publishers, therefore, deem it proper to call
renewed attention to the works they re-publish,
and the low prices at which they are offered TO
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
The London Quarterly Review,
The Edinburg Review,
The North British Review,
The Westminster Review,
Biackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.
In these periodicals are contained the views
moderately, though clearly and firmly express
ed, of the three great parties in England-To-
~, Wing and Radical -NBlackwood'' and the
''London Quarterly are Tory; the edinburgh
Review Whig; and the ''Westminister Re-
view,' Liberal. The ENorth British Review
owes its establishment to the last great ecclesi-
astical movement in Scotland, and is not ultra
in its views any grand department. OF

DIR. chalmers, and now, since his death, is con

ted with Sir David Brewster. It's literary char

ster," though reprinted under that title oniy is
Published in London under the title Of the For
eign Quarterly and Westminister," it being in
fact Union Of the two reviews formerly pub
Iished and printed under separate titles. 1t has
therefore, the advantage by this combination
of uniting in one work the best features of both
as heretofore issued.
