BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revolutions
among the nations of Europe, which have followed
each otliwr in such quick succession, :ind 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 ground between the
hasty, disjointed, and necessarily imperfect record* of the
newspapers, and the elaborate and ponderous treaties to
be furnished by the historian at a future day. Whoever
roads these periodicals obtains a correct and connected ac
count of all the Important political events of the Old
World, as they occur, and learns the various conclusions
drawn from them by the leading spirits of the age. The
American publishers therefore deem it proper to call re
newed attention to the works they publish, and the very
low prices at which they are offered to subscribers. The
following is their list, vis:
Tim London Quarterly REvirw,
The Eixnbumb Kr.vuw,
Tin North Hritish Review,
The Westminster Review, and
Blackwood's Ediniiuruh Magazine.
In tliOM periodicals are coutalnod the views, moderately
though clearly and firmly expressed, of tho three greatest
parties in England?Tory, Whig, and liadical; "Black
wood" and the " l<ondon Quarterly" are Tory, the " Edin
burgh Review" Whig, and the " Westminster Review"
Liberal. The " North British Review" oww its establish
ment to the last great ecclesiastical movement la Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand de
Rrtments of human know-lodge. It was originally edited
Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is conducted
by his son-in-law. Dr. Hanna, associated with Sir David
Urewstur. Its literary character is of the very highest
order. The " Westminster," though reprint fd Under that
title only, is published in Kuglaud under the title of the
" Foreign Quarterly and Westminster," it lx;ing iu fact a
union of the two Reviews formerly published and reprinted
under separate title*. It has, therefore, the advantage, by
this combination, of uniting in one work the best feature*
of both, as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York, Imme
diately on their arrival by the British steamers, in a l>eau
tiful clear type, on fin* white pa|>er, and are faithful co
pies of the original*?Blackwood's Magazine being an ex
act fixe timUe of the Edinburgh edition.

^chimed lour, Miss Gray appeared at ?
new Lome where she received the warmest
weicoreo. Lucy was more intent on her plan

bust and hardy, with a countenance expressing
energy and intelligence: eyes of dark blue, a
brown, yet clear complexion, and a mass of
dark brown hair shading his expansive forehead.
Luoy was very gl^d to detect him gazing at Miss
Gray several times as she was talking to her
uncle with much animation, and felt sure that
his belief in the want of sense prevalent among
young ladi?n was somewhat shaken bv her
c larnuiig and sensible conversation. Jjut Dick
sat and spoke not a word. How strnnge that
he should feel so shy and backward! Everv
word seemed to desert him if he made an at
tempt t0 speak, some invisible chain seemed

? urely, thought Dick, after returning to his
own room, " I can't imagine what made me so
stupid to-night; Miss Gray will think me a per
Bichart? WeU' >Vimt if 81,0 doeB> ^lr
The next afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Thornton
went to drink tea with a neighbor, so the young
people were quite alone. The sound of Dick's
voice had scarcely been heard all day, and at
tea time the spirit of silence seemed to seal his
!iP8' -Cy- beGan t0 fet;1 restless, for she
thought it time the first reserve had worn off.
. o in order to facilitate the acquaintance, she
insisted on parching some corn after tea, calling
Will who was busy with slate and pencil, to
help her to find the best ears of corn. Will
thought his cousin very hard to please, for it
was nearly half an hour before she found corn
o suit her, so that the poor boy's teeth quite
chattered with the cold. After she was satis
.'w ^,pr.0ceedcd t0 tLo kitclu;n t0 P^roh it,
and Will had now a fine chance to warm him
self, shaking the pan over the glowing embers.
He was not allowed to stop till an enormous
bowl was failed with the crisp kernels looking
like snow-flakoa, so white and feathery Then
a dish of apples had to be brought from the
u-n. thejrro8Jr cheeks wiped carefully, though
Will thought Lucy twice as long as she need be
doing it. "All is going on right," thought the
manoeuvring damsel, as she entered the sitting
room and found the couple conversing very
sociably; Dick's tongue being completely un
loosed and very efficient from its late rest
The days now passed swiftly away, the ac
quaintance progressed rnpidly, Dick drawing in
unconsciously the fatal poison. Sometimes lie
and Miss Gray sang together, a very dangerous
thing for two interesting people to do, the union
I ol voices having a powerful tendency to pro
j ?,UCf " of hearts- Sleep began to forsake
, u . 3 blue eyes, he lost himself in very
j delicious reveries, sighed occasionally, and ex
I hibited various other alarming symptoms. His
mother's fears were excited, and she busied
herself preparing very elaborate decoctions to
strengthen the boy's constitution. Dick's opin
ions on certain points began to change imper
ceptibly. He began to think singing-schools
not quite such foolish affairs as he had soid
heretofore, and even thought he might be per
suaded to go the next night if Lucy tensed him
?cry much to accompany them. But no, the
evening came, and Lucy did not even ask him
to go, but proposed walking and taking Will for
an escort. How vexatious ! He wanted to go
twice as much a? he did before, but about half
an hour after their departure, he remembered
that he wished to purchase a certain book and
started off for the village. On passing the hall
he thought he would just step iu and hear them
sing a few minutes.
Mr. Garland, the teacher of the singing
school, was a very prepossessing young man a
oollege student, who, by extra study in summer
was flowed to bo absent from college in winter'
wh,ch was spent in teaching in order to recruit
his finances. Besides the singing school, he
taught the village day-school, and also another
class in music *t Woodstock, a small villnge
( about five miles distant. He was a fine, active
j dashing fellow, full of life and spirit, and had
gained the admiration of young Thornton the
first time they met. Dick entered the hall un
observed, just as (hey had commenced some fa
miliar tunc, and were benting time. He found
a seat in au unlighted corner, where he could
see and be nnsccn himself. But his eyes did
not wander long from one particular face, the
centre of attraction for him. He felt half in
clined to join the singers, nt least he thought
he would wait till the close and walk home with
his oousin, for he began to think Will was no
\ protection at all. His meditations were, how
i ever, cut short by Garland, who announced at
the end of the tune a recess of ten minutes
Then followed a Babel-like confusion. Such a
j talking, buzzing, and moving?some hurrying
? irnute toward the stove, others going out,'
while a few remained quietly in their seata,
I among whom were Miss Gray and Lucy. Dick
J was juat thinking of emerging from his hidiug
place and speaking to them, when his inten
j tioiiH were forestalled by Garland, who rcmninpc}
chatting with the two young ladies until the
j ten minutes passed away.
\ oung Thornton's sensations were by no
means enviable. At first he sat with his"eyes
riveted on the expressive features of the pretty
J schoof-mistress; then he felt a peculiar flutter
| ing in the region of the heart; then he began
to think Garland acted like the most conceited
coxcomb in existence, and he wondored bow
Miss Gray could seem interested in the conver
j sation of such a fellow. This state! of mind was
| not improved by hearing a dialogue carried on
1 in a very loud whisper between two young la
dies who had wandered into his vicinity.
" Look," said one, glancing toward the group
which occupied Dick's thoughts; "see how at
tentive Mr. Garland is again to night."
" i es, said the other; "did you ever see
the like? I don't think he has hail his oyes
away from her teti minutes this evening. He
will walk home with her to night, I know."
" Well," replied the other, " I think she is
just as mu;h in love with him as he is with
her."
Dick was by this time quite as uncomfortable
as any one need be. ?' To be sure," he thought,
for at first. 1 always said singing-schools were
humbugs, and I think to now more than ever;
it's the last time 1 will be guilty oi being at one
this winter."
80 thinking, he threw liis cloak about him,
and walked out of the hall as quietly us he
came in. Poor Dick strode home at a wonder
ful pace, seized the book as though he really
! meant to devour it, and commenced its perusal;
I but it very strangely happened that lie could
! read no farther than the lirst lialf-doien lined.
i His thoughts Hew off without his having the
power to recall them.
[Conclusion in our next.]
Day'? Work vs. Coutracli.
The following appears f\s a communication
in the Republic newspaper of this morning:
It is understood that, as soon as the founda
tions of tho Cnpitol extennion arc completed,
the balance of the work is to be done by con
tract. It may not be generally known thut the
work thus far has been performed by the day.
Such is the fact; and it is universally conceded?
and, indeed, it has been the Subject of frequent
remark?that no Government work in Washing
ton was ever better done, no.r did mechanics
and laborers ever perform more faithfully.
It is to bo earnestly hoped that the subject
will receive the most careful attention before
a decision is had as to the future method of
prosecuting the work. There is reason to
| fear, from the experience that has been had
in the contract system, (especially in Con
gress printing,) that the Government will
be called on again and again to indemnify
I alleged losses; whilo the work itself gives
ample evidence that no loss hafl been sustained.
So far as the workmen are conecrncd, every
consideration of justice and humanity is on the
side of the day's-labor plan. It is conceded that
so far work teas never hitter done; and, il 1 am
correctly informed, the experienced and highly
practical Commissioner of Public Buildings is
decidedly favorable to the day's-work system.
I Nobody will question that the President is sin
I cerely desirous that the work shall be done upon
such system as shall, next to the interests of
the Government, confer the greatest benefit
upon those whose strong arms* peck and rear
1 the massive pile; nor- do thote who truly uu
| derstand the subject attribute auy but the most
honest motives to those who recommend the
contract system. Let ub have a full and fair
investigation and understanding of both sys
tems, and choose that which will insure the
greatest fidelity to the Government and the
largest benefit to those who do the work. J.
More of the Terrible Disaster at New
Y ork.
New Yoitk, Nov. 21, 8 p. m.?-Thousands of
persons collected around the building to day
where the melancholy calamity took place yes
terday, by which so many unfortunate children
lost their lives. Officers were stationed about
the premises, in order to collect all the parts
possible to aid in the coroner's investigation.
lu the are;v into which the children fell, at
leaBt a cart-load of books, shoes, combs, huts,
shawls, and other articles of clothing were
found. The place was literally covered with
blood. The clothing which belonged to the
children was taken to the ninth ward station
for recognition. Here tho scene was heartrend
ing: parents, brothers and sisters were seen
looking with tearful eyes, and were heard to
lament most piteously as they espied some gar
ment or little memento that belonged to their
relatives. Some were perfectly frantic with
grief.
It is now stated that one principal cause of
the immense loss of life was the improper and
highly reprehensible course pursued by a num
ber of men, who forced themselves into the
building, and besought the children to fly for
their lives, telling them that the house was on
fire, and that the walls were about falling.
The coroner this morning empanneled a jury,
and they proceeded to the scene of disaster, in
carriages, to view the dead bodies, after which
an adjournment took place until eleven o'clock
to-morrow morning, when an investigation will
be gone into.
It ib stated that the railing on the stairway
was of so frail a nature as to scarcely support
the weight of a man, much less the great pres
sure caused by the affrighted children.
The following deaths are additional to those
sent yon yesterdayGertrude \ an Huren,
Henry Cares, Miss Bogart, Mary Marsh, Albert
Lawrence, Thomas llamsey, Catherine Coon,
James ltycr, Julia Herschell, Louisa Allen,
Frederick* Miller. Six more are reported dau
gerously wounded. Sixty-one are known to be
dead.
The police station-house presents the most
sorrowful aspect, and the upper part of tho city
wears a universal gloom.

[From tliw New York BftiaM.]
Tl>? MctliiiK of Con?r?n,
The first session of the thirty-second Con
gress commence? on tLe first Monday of De
cember, which, in this instance, will be the first
day of December, or next Monday week, lhere
is no constitutional limit to the first session of
u Congress; but, its duration being left to the
discretion of the two houses, it has been uni
formly the long session. Such the approaching
session will unquestionably be. Nobody antici
pates an adjournment short of the dog-days.
If it should take place earlier, it will be to give
all hands an opportunity to mingle iu the work
of the politicians iu the Presidential election.
The House of Representatives consists of two
hundred and thirty-three members, of which
one hundred and seventeen are a clear majority
The grosH number of the Democrats is on? hun
dred and forty-three, or a majority of fifty
three, including Democratic Southern Rights
men and Northern Free-Boilers. Deducting an
the impracticables of these classes, 'tnc Demo
crats, it is probable, will still [itive a working
majority, uport all party questions, of from
twenty to thirty.
The iirwt business of the House, after calling
the roll, will bo the election of a Speaker and
Clerk, Do orkeeper, and Postmaster. These are
fat offices ; they always bring into the Capitol
a swarm of candidates; and a swarm, on this
occasion, may be assuredly expected. The
most prominent candidates for Speaker are
Linn Boyd, of Kentucky, Mr. Disney, of Ohio,
and General Bayly, of Virginia. The most
conspicuous candidates for Clerk are Mr. Young,
of Illinois, the lp.st Clerk of the last Congress,
Colonel Forney, editor of the Philadelphia Penn
sylvanian, and Judge Potter, late a member of
Congress from Ohio. Before the organization
of the Vlouse?that is to say, on or before Sat
urday evening, the 29tli day of November, alter
dark; (caucuses are generally held in the dark)?
there will be a caucus held in the Capitol, of
the Democrats, to decide upon their officers. t
The Whigs may also hold a caucus, though it is
not likely any occasion will arise which they
may be able to turn to any profitable account.
If, however, the Presidential question should
be mixed up in these elections, some sport may
be expected in the rivalry for the inside track.
All the hopeful Democratic candidates for 1862,
for tho Presidency and Vice Presidency?not
less than fifty, in the aggregate?may be looked
for in Washington, to assist in pulling the wires
and working the ropes.
In the Senate, the Democrats will have a ma
jority of from twelve to fourteen ; and deduct
ing all who are likely to be impracticable as
Northern or Southern ultras, they will still
havo an efficient working majority. There is
sonic talk of a Democratic demonstration upon
the principal officers of the Senate, who have
been holding over from one Congress to another
for a considerable time. The dignity of the
body, heretofore, lias been so very high that
they have scorned to make an office of the
Senate, of even three thousand dollars a year,
a mere thing of reward among the loaves and
fishes. But among so many hungry Democrats
turned out from the executive departments, to
make room for still more huugry Whigs, there
will bo very apt to be a foray upon the Senate.
The two houses will probably bo sufficiently
orgnnized on Monday to announce to the I resi
dent the fact of their readiness to receive any
communication he may have to make ; so that
on Tuesday, the second day of the session, the
annual message will most probably be read at
each end of the Capitol.
1 After the message is read, we may expect
that it will be vigorously discussed till Christ
mas, and especially, if not exclusively, upon
the various international issues growing out of
the late terrible events in Cuba. From ( hrist
mas till New Year's day, inclusive?all parties
of both houses being occupied in a general
miscellaneous frolio?there will be a suspension
of hostilities. But, from the second day of
January till the meeting of the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Conventions, in May or June, wo
may count upon tho most terrific onslaught
upon the Cabinet, aud upon the most singular,
incomprehensible and abominable bargains, in
! trigues and huckstering among the various
Presidential cliques, to obtain their particu
lar ernlfl. We shall have ft time of it?no
telling to what consequences it may lead ;
they are involved in darkness, mystery, and
obscurity ; but all the symptoms arc now dis
cernible of a horrible squabble. The French,
about the same time, expect a revolution. Wo
trust in Providence, as usual, to escape it; but,
if Moses and the propheU have not deceived us,
the Presidential election of 1852 will cause a
most horrible rattling among the dry bones in
' this country. A new set oi books will be open^'l
upon the meeting of Congress. Old accounts
will have to be squared up. Little is to be ex
pected for cheap postages, steamships, or pro
tective tariffs. The people may be congratu
lated if, after weathering through the long
1 session till the decline of the dog days, those
Mexican claims, those Florida claims, the ( uba
question, and the Presidential question, shall
be settled without ft revolution somewhere. The
I grand Olympian games begin with the meeting
of Congress. The Lord save the Union !
A Ram Ikstahch.-?The Worcester Palladium
stnt'is that an only son, sole heir to a wealthy
I old lady deceased without a will, invitod all her
relatives to examine her papers, and finding
among them loose memoranda showing that she
had at some time contemplated making bequests
to several persons amounting to fifty thousand
dollars, has determined to pay over to them
that amount, which he might just as well have
kept in his own hands. It seems almost in
credible.

' naNCB The New York Herald says: We un
derstand that a large number of official
are on file in the Navy and State Departments
and in private hands, containing a groat many
curious details concerning the sayings and doings
?,f Kossuth at Marseilles, and tho origin and
character of the difficulties which It is said
took nlicebetween him and the American agents
and officers?an account of which was pu
lished in several of the newspapers. The Gov
ernment, it seems, conceals the character of
these letters, but its agents are letting it out in
aome shape or other. We have no doubt that,
as aoon as Congress meets, a demand will be
made for the production of all this oorrespon
' dcnce and for an account of all that transpire!
' during the voyage of the Mississippi up and
down the Mediterranean, and at Marseilles, and
elsewhere. Thefe Is ft great deal of mystifica
