TESTA NT E PI.SCOP A LCI IC KCH.?The ninth
annual session will open on Monday, Oct. 7, 1850,
and continue till the next "commencement day,"
the last Thursday in July, 1851. New students are
recommended to enter at the opening of the session,
but are received at any time they apply, and
the charge is estimated from the date of their entrance.
The Colleoe has the usual number of classes, affords
all the opportunities of a complete education,
and, at the successful termination of the collegiate
i course, confers ou its graduates the usual academical
degrees.
The Grammab School, immediately adjoining
the College and under the supervision of the Hector,
hut under distinct discipline, receives lads at
the beginning of their academical course, and prepares
them for the collegiate classes. The oversight
and direction of the Professors of the College
secure special nuvamiigct vo mc pupus ill mc u ruminar
school.
In the Mebcantile Clasbis, the study of the
Greek language is omitted, and its place supplied
by additional studies in modern languages, bookkeeping,
statistics, &c.
The location of the College is entirely healthful,
and, by its distance from towns and villages, very
favorable to good morals and order.
The whole, annual charge, the same in the College
and Grammar school, for the session of ten
months, is two hundred and twenty-five dollars,
payable semi-annually, in advance.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter revolutions
among the nations of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which "the end i* not yet," the leading- periodicals
of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They occupy
a middle gt<. and between the hasty, disjointed,
and necessarily imperfect records of the newspapers,
and the elaborate and ponderous treatises to
be furnished by the historian at a future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered to
cub.,enters. The following U thfiir list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW.
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
in unw periodicals areconlaincd the views, nuxlerately,
though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England?Tory, Whig, and
Radical. " Blackwood" and the " London (Quarterly"
are Tory; the "Edinburgh Review," Whig;
ttinf the " Westminster Review," Liberal. The
" North British Review" owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand
departments of human knowledge ; it was originally
edited by I)r. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is of the very highest order. The "West
minster," though reprinted under that title only, is
published in England under the title of the "Foreign
Quarterly and Westminster," it being, in
fact, a union of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. It has. therefore,
the advantage by tliis combination of uniting
in one work tbe best features of both as heretofore
issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York,
immediately on their arrival by the British steamers,
in a beautiful elcar type, on fine white paper,
and arc faithful copies of the originals, Blackwood's
Magazine lieing an exact fuc-innitc of the Edinburgh
edition.

BY E. LITTELL AMD CO., EOITON.
rT',HIS work is conducted in the spirit of Litlcll'a
I Muacuxn of Fomrn Literature, (which wm
favorably received by the public for twenty years,)
but aa it ia twice aa large, and appcara ao often, we
not only give apirit and freahneae to it by many
things which were excluded by a inonth'a delay,
but while thua extending our acope, and gathering
a greater and more attractive variety, are able ao
to increase the solid and eulMtantial part of our litI
erary, historical, and political harvest, as fully to
satisfy the wants of the American reader.
The elaborate and stately Knotty# of the Edinburgh,
(Quarterly, and other Reviews; and Blackwood's
noble criticismsoa Poetry, his keen polllieal
Commentaries, highly wrought Tales, and vivid
i descriptions of rural and mountain scenery; and
the contributions to Literature, History, and common
life, by the sagai iuus Spectator, the sparkling
Examiner, the judicious Alhcnnuni, the busy and
illustrious literary G axe lie, the sensible and com
nrehelisite Britannia, the sober and respectable
Christian Observer; llu-ac are intermixed with the
Military and Natal reminiscences of the United
Service, and with the beat articles of the Dublin
University, New Monthly, Eraser's, Tail's, Ainaworth's,
llood's, and Sporting Magazines, ami of
Chambers's admirable Journal. We do not consider
it beneath our dignity to burrow wit and wisdom
from I'uiu h; ami, w hen wc think it good
enough, make use of the thunder of The Tunes.
We shall increase our variety hy importations from
the continent of Europe, and from the new growth i
of tlie British colonies.
The steamship has brought Europe, Asia, and
Africa into our neighhorhitod, and will greatly
multiply our connexions as merchants, travellers,
and oolitic lans, with all parts of the world; so that,
much more itian ever, it now becomes every intelligent
American to lie informed of Uie conditions
ami < lutngea of foreign countries. And this not
only Ix i mine of their nearer connexion with ourselves,
but Iwcauec the nations see in to be hastening
through a rapid process of c li.tnge, to some new
state of things, whu li the merely political propliet
cannot compute or foresee.
Grogrsplii' si Di*ovcrles, the progress of Colonization,
(which ia rilrnding over the whole world,)
and Vpjvm ami Travels, will l>e favorite matter
lor out selections; and in Krnrral, we shall system- I
athally anil very fully acquaint our reaiii rs with
lie great depart ment ol' foreign affairs, without en- I
tirelv nr^ln ling our own.
l\ hile we aspire tomake the f.iping Agedesirable
to all who wish to keep themselves informed of the
rapid progress of the movement?to statesmen, divines,
lawyers, and physicians? to men of business
and men of leisure,? it is still a stronger object to |
make it attractive to their wives and < nildren. We
talieve that we ran thus do soine piml in our day
and generation, and hope to make the work indispensable
in every well informed family. We say
indispensable, heenuse in this day of cheap literature
it ia not possible to guard against the intiua of what
is bad in taste and vicious in morals, in any oilier
way than by furnishing a sufficient supply of a
healthy character. The mental and moral appetite
must be gratified.
We hope, that by "winnowing the wheat from

CIRCULAR.
T^HE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish a
JL political Weekly j>aner in the German language,
in the City qf II atkinglon, in support of the
principles by which the Administration of General
1'aylm came into power, and being desirous to
ohlaui the aid and i operation of the Whig party.
he would respectfully state the reason* which, in
his estimation, make it desirable ami no cssary
that such a paper should be established at the sea
of Government.
I. The number of these who use the German Ianpi.ifrr
as their medium of intercourse is upw ards of
Ifirrt Million*, and tins number is constantly increasing
by immigration.
1. The name of Democrats being- the appellation
of the lilieral or popular party of Germany, to
which all the immigrants Ik-fire their emigration
belonged, they do,of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in this country,
as soon as they are able to exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teems
w ith Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety it is to use tins
missppellation to the best advantage.
3 Although there area lew Whig papers in tha
country, they bear principally a local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patronage
llian on their subscription lists, they do genemlly
stand or fall with the success or defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4 The German*, nowevcr, being an intelligent
and reading people, arc accessible to sound argument,
and a puper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
to overcome prejudices, correct errors and iiuaapprehensions,
ami by its own dire< t influence, as
well as by its influence up ii the local Whig papers,
now in existence, will, it is hoped, produea
the desired effect, and gain the reflectinganu thinking,
that is the influential, portion of the German
. !'./ ii*. ..mi to the Whig ranks.
5. The undersigned in well aware that he hae
many and serious obstacles to overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the co-operation
of the Whig party, on account of the intrinsic,
merit* of ln? enterprise, dor* not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he anticipate*
a satisfactory result.
FREDERICK SCHMIDT.
Rkcommkxdatio*.?The Whig State Ootral
Committee of Massachusetts, being satisfied that a
(wtrinan ncasf^per, to be published at W ashington,
