BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTEREYRE REVIEW

tSfiA1kSEh q SSGAktEEfkk<A u II 6EtIE"
LOWING to the late revolutions and The coun-
" ter-revoiutions among the nations of Eu-
rope, which have followed each other in quick
succession, and of which ''thc 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 trsstises 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, they occur and
| learns the various conclusions drawn from them
BY the leading spirits of the age. The Aneri-
can publishers, therefore, deem it proper TO call
| renewed attention to the works they re-publish,
and the low prices at which they offered to
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
| The London Quarterly Review,
The Edinburg Review,
The North British Review,
The Westminster Review,
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.
In these periodicals are contained the views
moderately, though clearly and firmly express
ed, of the three great parties in EDgland-To-
ry, Wing and Radical "Blackwoodo and the
| E.London Quarterly'' are Tory; the " Edinburgh
| Reviews Whig; and the "WestIninister Re-
yieyy,, Liberal The s.North British Review
owes its establishment TO the last great ecclesi-
/ asticaI movement in Scotland, and is not ultra
| in its views on any one grand department OF
human knowledge; it was originally edited by
/ Il.
Quoted by his son-iD-law, DR.. Hanna, associa-
| ted with Sir David Brewster. Its literary char
acter is Of the highest order. The sEWestmin-
ster,' though reprinted under that title only, is
published in London under the title of the For
| eign Quarterly and Westminster - 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.

The Magnitude Of Numbers.

Bul few persons have any correct idea of
the real magnitude Of numbers, and large
sums are often named with a very limited
and indefinite conception of their immensely.
million is often spoken of as small item
| in our national expenditure, and yet if a man
were to count hours per day, il would re-
qure nearly three months 10 count million
of dollars and if the dollars were 10 inch in
diameter and laid touching in straight line,
they would reach 1876 miles and IA wagons
carrying two ions each, would no, be suffici-
ent 10 convey them.

The two hundrelh part of an inch in thickness
would !orm pile, the height of which would
be $50 times the moons distance from the
earth. The seconds IN 6OOO years are less
than the one fifth of lrillion. Suppose a
man 10 count one in every second of time,
day and night, without stopping to rest, to
eat, 10 drink, or TO sleep, it would take 80
years to count billion, or $4,000 years 10
count a trilion, even as the French under
stand that term.
Some writer stated in an article headed,
"What becomes of all the pins ?" that "mil-
lions of billions of pins must vanish," no.
body cun tell how, or where, in the course
of year. Many pins, undoubtedly, vanish
every year; but any mathematician will de-
monstrate 10 us that single billion has nev-
er yet been manufactured. A billion, accord.
ing 10 Noah Webster, is "million of mil

mind has not the capacity 10 comprehend it,
A manufaciory, making hundred pins per

The Bread Agitation In England.
The Queen Refuses to Rsceius Peoples Dspu-

Three open air meetings were held on Sun.
day in South Staffordshire and the ueighbor.
hood Of Birmingham upon the subject of the
high price OF bread. Two of these meetings
were in the morning one at Spon-lane, Stat.
fordshire, and The Other at Derilend.pooI.
near Birmingham. AT the former 10000
people were present, and ii scas resoived 10
send a deputatton to the Queen to represent the
alleged grieuanees of the people in The matter of
dear bread. AT Dertendpool about 1000
persons were present., and several speeches
were made by operatives. The afteln noon
meeting took place at Hockey Pool, near
Birmingham, and was attended by 1900
persons. Here the proceedings were mixed
up with the peoples charter and the wn-
iings Of Mr. Urquhar. A Mr.. G. White
read memorial to the Queen which had
been agreed 10 in the morning at the Spon.
lane meeting. II was 10 the effect that the
people OF South staffordshire were suffering
great privations in consequence of the high
price of food; and it prayed her Majesty 10
issue an order prohibiting the expectation Of
grain, and 10 establish public granaries, and
check undue speculation in corn. Mr.. White
stated that he had written to her Maiesty's
Private Secretary, asking when il would DO
convenient TO receive The deputaion, and
that he had received an answer 10 the effec.
that memorials TO the Queen should be pre-.
sen'ed through The Secretary of State for tho
Home Department. The speaker proceeded
10 say that the memorial had been The result
of solemn vote from respectable meeting
al Spon lane, and that if the Queen ,could mol
accept il f'om the people, they would depute too
members Of Parliament 10 present il, and that
il should not he sent 10 Sir George Grey TO burn
in the fire. He then asked if the meeting
wished the memorial 10 be presented 10 the
Queen and not TO 81. George Grey, and nearly
all the persons present held up both hands
In conclusion, the speaker proposed reso.
luton which he sad had been adopted at
the Spon lane meeting, declaring ,ha, "a full
and free representation Of the people was
the only remedy for their grievances.n This
proposition, however, was not seconded. II
was announced that another sim liar meeting
is 10 be held next Sunday. A Mr.. Hawkins
said he had that morning addressed a msei-
ing which was held al Kdjermnsler, and
was attended by 5000 persons. The inhab-
iiants of that town were now wide awake,
and inie nded next week TO hold torch-lish,
meeting. He recommended the initiation of
their example. The meeting then quietly
dispersed. et.-Londoa Times.

A Common sense Decision.

In a SUIT at Cincinnati lately, against q
newspaper for publishing rumor of the
suspension Of a certain business man, a YER.
dict having been given for the defendant,
and The plaintiff having moved for new
trial, Judge Sorer remarked tha, every mans
reputation for solvency was matter of pub.
lie discussion connected with the CONNER
cial business of the country. and il publi-
cation, such as that charged 10 have been
made in The defendants newspaper, was
made from good motives, and without NAL
ice, and the party made aIl the reparalion in
his power afterwards, the jury might well re-
fuse 10 give damages. Newspapers in these
days have become the chronicles of all pub
lie events, and whatever is proper for bnsl-
ness men 10 know, the editor, being guarded
in his manner of stating facts, and publishing
nothing but what he supposed at the time he
had good authority 10 state, would have The
right 10 publish in his newspaper Blu, il he
published anything OF this kind wanlonly.
unnecessarily, and with an intention to in
inre, he would of course be liable. If he
published kny ythins merely as the business
history of The Jay, and what was supposed
10 be the common understanding nr genera
report in the community, the implication ol
malice would be rebutej from the circum
stances in the case. The court could no; sci
aside the verdict Of the jury, as they besv-
ell substantial justice had bean done, and
that the party did not intend to injure The
plaintiff.
