BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE,
AND TUB
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revolutions
among the na-ious of Europe, which have followed
each other in such quick successiou, and of which " the
end is 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 records of the
newspapers, and the elaborate and ponderous treaties to
be furnished by the historian at a future day. Whoever
reads these periodicals obtains a correct and connected ac
count of all the important political events of the Old
World, as they oocur, and learns the various conclusion
drawn from them by the leading spirit* of the age. The
American publishers therefore deem it proper to cadi re
uewed attention to the works they publish, and the very
low prices at which thuy are offered to subscribers. The
following is their lUt, viz:
The London Quarterly R/.vnw,
The Edinburgh Review,
The North British Review,
The Westminster Review, and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Maoazini.
In these periodical''are contained the views, moderately
though clearly and firmly expressed, of the three greatest
parties in England?Tory, Whig, and Itiulieal; "Black
wood" and the " Loudon Quarterly" are Tory, the " Edin
burgh Review" Whig, and tho "Westminster Review'
Liberal. The " North British Review" owes its establish
ment to the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views on any one of llie grand de
partments of human knowledge. It was originally edited
by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is conducted
by bis son-in-law, Dr. Hanna, associated with Sir David
Brewster. Its literary character is of the very highest
irder. The "Westminster," though reprinted under that
title only, is published in England under the title of the
?' Foreign Quarterly anil Westminster," it being in fact *
union of the two Reviews formerly published and reprinted
under separate titles. It has, therefore, the axivantage,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
(lately on their arrival by the British steamers, in s beau
tiful clear type, on fine white paper, and are faithful co
pies of the originals?Blackwood's Magazine being an ex
act foe simile of the Edinburgh edition.

a new company of youths in tliis city, between
the ages of seventeen and twenty years. 1 he
name of Kossuth, Guards was at first selected;
but at a meeting on Friday evening, at which
twenty-six members were present, as we learn
from the Republic newspaper, they unanimously
declared their preference for the name ot " Me
tropolitan Guards," being desirous, as they say
in their constitution, of "encouraging among
young men a military spirit, and ot being pre
pared to defend their homes." A committee was
appointed on the subjcot of a uniform and arms.
We would recommend for the lonner the ap-1
propriate street costume usually worn to church
by genteel young men, and for the latter the
pen, which is "mightier than the sword." We
would also recommend that a good and comfort
able drill-room be procured, thirty by fitty feet
in size, with a ten-feet ceiling, and that they
employ as their instructors in tactics several
gentlemen to teach them history, geography,
and astronomy; chemistry, geology, and natural
history; meutal and moral science, grammar,
rhetoric, and belles-lettres; or any other accom
plishments adapted to render them of the high
est usefulness to the city. We think we can
guaranty to these young gentlemen an accepta
ble lecturer for each of five evenings a week
throughout the winter, and all without expense to
them. We desire the safety of our whole coun
try, and this is precisely the mode of securing
U. We look to our young men for future pro
tection, and would have them prepare them
selves aright for the important work. We offer
our suggestions in kindness and with respect.
May they be so received.

The Organixatton of the House of E*p?
reoentatlves.
To the Editors of the American Telegraph:
Gentlemen: Two or three communications
have appeared in your paper in relation to the
organization of the House of Representatives, |
and a probable change of tho officers in the
Senate. The writers evidently look more to the
individual advancement of themselves, or some
favorite candidate for the various offices, than
an adherence to correct principles and sound
policy.
The officers of the House (for I shall only '
allude to it) should bo selected with a view |
mainly to their qualifications for the various
positions to which they will bo called, and not
I to the advancement of any particular interest, j
or with a view of giving this or that person a
clerkship or any other place within the gift of
said officers.
As an old member of tho Democratic party,
and one who desires that it Bhall have at least a
temporary respite from the agitations which lor
the last two years threatened its demolition as
a national party, 1 desire to urge upon the
minds of members what I conceive to be the
true policy for them to pursue in reference to
the organization.
Three-filths of the officers are now Demo
cratic; that is, the Clerk, Sargeant-at-Arm
and Postmaster. The first two of these were
elected by the last Congress, the Clerk in the
fifth month, the Sargeant-at-Aruis in the first
month of the first session, and the Postmaster
was elected at the commencement of the 27th
Congress; and such has been his popularity,
because he has discharged his duty laithfully,
that even a Whig Cougress declined a change.
The question then is, Has the present Clerk
and Sargeant-at-Arms discharged their duty
with a similar fidelity t Aud if so, shall they
be contiuued, or will thoir party remove theru
to make place for others? These two gentle
men, it must be recollected, were not caudidates
fur the places they now hold, at the organization
of tho last House of Representatives, but were,
like Hercules, called in to the relief of their
Democratio friends, when they found they could
not succeed with their regular nominees. They
are good and truo men, and have the confi
dence of the entire party. Their removal
is not sought on accouut of a faithless dis
charge of their duty; or at least no such
charge has as yet been made. The grounds
urged for the dismissal of Judge \oungare,
first, that, when elected, it was understood that
ho would not be a candidate for re election;
second, that ho did not remove the entire Whig
force in his office; and lastly, "because (to use
the l&ugunge of one of his opponents) he has
been a ponbioner on his party all his lile." To
tho first of these 1 have ouly to' say, that Judge
Young deuies that any such promise was rnado
by him, or by any frieud with hie authority;
nor does he know that the condition of his
election was placed upon any Biich grounds
by tho friends of any person aspiring to the
Clerkship at a future time. If so, let all the
dlory be theirs, for I ntn sure he wants it
not. To the second?that the efficient dis- i
charge of the duties of his office required the
retention of certain employees of the former
Clerk ; aud in this ho has the written opinion
and request of a majority of the Democratic
members. To the last?that if the people of a
State having seen proper to confer the highest
honors in their gift upon one ot her sons is a
sin, then is Judge Young not sinless, but must
submit, with the best grace he can, to be termed
a pensioner, but not an "invalid pensioner,
as the sequel will show.
Judge Young can appeal to Democratic mem- j
bers of the House as to his standing in the
Democratic party, from his odvent as a Jackson |
elector, in 1828, to the present time, with testi
mouials from the lamented Jackson, Grundy,
Silas Wright, Polk, Calhoun, and a host of
others, but must content himself with the ver
dict which will be tendered by the living.
Of Messrs. Glosbrenner and Johnson it is
unnecessary to speak, for as yet they have no
competitors. The manner in which they dis
chargetheir duties is their commendation, and
I presume both will be re elected unless another
gentleman from Pennsylvania should bo electcd
Clerk, then, of course, the Sargeant at-Arms
will fall, and two men, faithful and true, will
be sacrificed, in order that one may be elevated.
This is not written from any unkind feeling
toward Mr. Forney or any other gentleman?
I f,,r him I have tho kindest feeling, and have
always been his warm admirer, personally and
politically?but because I think justice demands
that the course and policy which 1 have marked
i out should be pursued.

JENNY GRAY.
A New Kugliud Sketch.
BY BLLKN U*liAU.VM.
[Concluded.)
The next day being Sunday, Mr. and Mrs.
Thornton rode to church iu the old laahioned
sleigh, while Dick drove the young ladies aud ,
Will in the double sleigh. Miss Gray was so ,
agreeable and entertainiug that the dismal
young gentleman began to open his heart a little j
for sunshine. His moody reserve wore away
by degrees, aud by the tiiuo they arrived at the
church steps, he mentally decided that he had
been too hasty the previous eveuing. During
service some part of the harness became disar
ranged, so that the church was quite empty by
the time he had repaired the mischief an^ driven
round to the steps. But alas for comfort now ;
whom should he see but Garlaud, standing
earnestly talkiug to the young ladies, keeping
them entirely absorbed by his pleasing conver
sation. A cloud gathered ou Dick's brow in an
instant. lie cast a half furtive glance from
under his knit brows towards Miss Gray but
she was completely occupied in listening. This
was enough for our sensitive hero, his dreams
were all over now, and he began to despise
Garlaud, innocent though he wub of any inten
tion to injnre him. In his vexation he nearly
upset the sleigh, but the undaunted music
teacher, unconscious of giving offence, talked
on in the best of spirits, gallantly assisting the
ladies into the sleigh, arranging the buffaloes
with care, and then to crown his audacity, as
Dick thought, jumped in himself and rode down
to biB boarding-house with them.
A few days passed, and the first disturber of
young Thornton's peace of mind left anil went
to the next house to board her allotted time.
But instead of restoring his wonted oheerfulness
and bringing back his old smiles, jokes and
songs, he seemed all the more depressed and
gloomy. The house appeared to him intolerably
dull and lonely, his time hung heavily on his
hands; he had no heart for business; his very
countenance bore the expression of a moody,
dissatisfied man. His mother was truly alarmed
at his unwonted behaviour, and, attributing it
all to the weakness of his nervous system, re
commended valerton, as usual. W hat a remedy
for his disease! So matters stood when it whs
arranged that the two singing-schools should
meet?the singers of Dalton riding over to
WoodBtock, and joining their voices with their
neighbors'. The evenings were bright moon
light, the sleighing fine, and all the young peo
ple were anticipating anxiously the appointed
evening! The girls were busy preparing some
thing a little extra to wear, and the beaux were
employed in negotiations ft$r sleighs, horses,
bells, etc., so that there mi&ht be conveyances
for all. .
Dick met knots of young men talking eagerly
every time he passed through the village, and
saw sigus of the approaching festivity with no
very enviable feelings. A new sleigh, lustrous
with fresh paint and gilding, was pointed out
to him by some communicative individual, as
being engaged for the occasion by the master
himself. " So he'8 going to take Miss Gray,"
thought Dick, with a sigh, as he turned away,
and a feeling of envy flashed through biB mind,
as he suffered himself to think of the enjoyweat
it would afford him to be in Garland's place.
He had just turned his horse's head toward
home ou the very morning when the important
ride was to take place that following evening,
when hearing his name called he looked around,
and saw no other than Mr. Garlaud approach
ing him. Dick gave him a very cold nod. ac
companied by a look which might have told the
schoolmaster, had lie not been too busy to study
expression, that he was not regarded with much
affection in that quarter. But intent ou hi*
own affairs, he begged Mr. Thornton's pardon
for detaining him, but wished that lie would
oblige, him by taking a message to Miss Oray
on his way home, as he was too much occupied
to go over himself. Dick looked more majes
tic, dignified, aud awful than ever, while Gar
land went on.
"Obligo me then," said he, after Dick had
muttered something expressive of his willing
uess, or rather unwillingness, to deliver the
message, "by telling Miss Gray that Mr. Con
nor, who is going to take bis niece, Miss Willis,
to the singing school to-night, will call lor her
This arrangement will be much more pleasant
for her, than being crowded with a dozen others
into a double sleigh, as she expecfcd to go at
first. I would take her myself, he added, "but
I can only procurc a single sleigh, and that
will of course be fided with Lucy and myielf."
A new light flashed over Dick's miud, his
eye* brightened, ami he became wonderfully
cordial in taking leave of Mr. Oarland. "What
a duuee I have been !" thought he; "so it is
Lucy, only Cousin Lucy ho admires. Why
didn't I sec it before?" said he, as he called to
mind certain blushings and stammerings, which
had affected her wheucver Garland's name had
been mentioned, and which he had been too
much blinded to construe aright.
Young Thornton rode toward home in the j
best of spirits, delivered a certain message to
Mfcs Grny, at which she turned "delightful,
rosy red," and ho looked very much pleased
aud very happy. As may be suppose'!, Mr
Connor was informed that Miss Gray was en
gaged, and everything looked bright to our
hero "Richard was himself again." His spir
its were a little damped by finding that his old
friend, Aunt Clary, was favoring his mother
with a visit that afternoon, and no doubt, rely
ing on his constancy, auticipatcd a ride iu his
?leigh that evening.
" Why, Richard, you are in haste, sua
Squire Thornton, as Joe led his horse to the
door; "perhaps Aunt Clary will spend the even
ing with us; you can drive her home by and
by; the evenings are almost as bright as day
now." . , . ?
"Father, I?I am going away tonight,
stammered Dick. " Will must take 'old Sorrel
! and drivo her home." , ,
A meaning smile gathered about the squire ?
mouth as he saw how affairs were turning out
What the result of this rido to Woodstock
was, may be inferred from various circum I
stances. After the school closed in the "Thorn
ton district," Dick seemed to have a great deal
of business at B , the residence of some
one?l can't say whom. Two or tim e times a
week his horse's head was turned that way,
and his horse's feet allowed no rest till be ar
rived at a little white cottage, a very comfort
able place, if we may judge by his unwilling- j
ness to leave it.
CHAPTER III.
"Lucy, Lucy; come here," said Richard
! Thornton, one bright morning the following
rmnir; "here is something tor you.
1 I ticv ran to the door and actually clapped
her'hands with delight as she saw ^eaaUful
j grey colt "all saddled and bridled, stand paw
ing the ground.
" How beautiful J" said Lucy, as she stroked
the arched neck of the graceful creature. "What
I a superb saddle! Are you really going to give
it to mo ?"
" Tbe colt is yours already, cox, you hare
fairly won it. So take it, you little witc^, and
you can ride to your beurt's content."
" liut I luust give my treasure a name?yuu
have always called it Little Gray, hut I shall
christen it Jenny?Jenny Gray. You will not
be angry, will you ? It will do no barm if there
are two Jeutiy Grays."
"Name her that by all means; it will recall
such delightful associations. Two Jenny Grays!
l'ray what tire you thinking about? In one
short week your little colt will be the only one
of that mime; the other will be changed, I hope,
to Jenny Thornton."
And so it was.
FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Atlantic.
The steamer Atlantic arrived at New York
yesterday morning, bringing Liverpool dates to
the 12th instant, and sixty-four passengers.
Among the latter is E. II. Thompson, bearer of
despatches from London. The Atlantic encoun
tered rough weather on tLe coast.
Cotton has been very active, with a further
advance of ?d.?the. sales averaging 12,000
bales daily; of which 4,000 bales are for spec
ulation and export. The stock is gradually de
creasing.
The supplies of grain and flour continue light
and unequal to the great consumption and ship
ping. Prices are iu consequence firmer at an
advance.
The Manchester market was improving, and
a more speculative inquiry existed.
The London money market continued easy,
and consols had further advanced, closing at
98J@98$.
The steamer America arrived out on tbe 9th.
Kossuth was making preparations for bis de
parture on the 14th. He was everywhere re
ceived with the greatest euthusiasm, and in his
various addresses had been loudly applauded.
The Times describes Kossuth's reception at Man
chester as the most enthusiastic he has yet met
with.
The now Lord Mayor of London was inaugu
rated on the 10th.
It has been proposed that search be made for
Sir John Franklin on tho coast of Asia.
Letters from Paris state that o( tbe commit
tee appointed to examine and report upon the
bill proposed by the ministry for the repeal of
the law of the 31st of May, only two are in fa
vor of the bill. The Socialists are enraged at
Louis Napoleon for having permitted the elec
tions of representatives to bo made under the
electoral law of May. The debate on the elec
toral law will commence on Thursday. The
Democratic Socialist Committee of Paris has
declared that it will not take part in the elec
tion of the 30th instant, in consequence of the
law of the 31$t of May, which curtails the elec
tive franchise, and recommends all republican
, electors to purBue tbe same course. The Bourse
is dull. Paris was perfectly tranquil.
Iu Spain, the Madrid Cortes wore opened on
the 6th itistunt by royal decrco. No speech
was delivered on the occasion. The accouche
ment of the queen was not expected to take
place till December. The moderate party had
completely triumphed at the municipal elec
tions.
Italy.?Accounts from Rome state that the
French troops wire making new auditions to
tbe fortifications of the Castle of St Augelo.
It is stated that the French and English gov
ernments have presented an explicit note to tbe
Tuscan government, protesting against tho adop
tion of Tuscany by Austria.
A letter from Copenhagen says that tbe ques
tion of tbe succession to the throne of Den
mark hud beeu definitely settled.
Another Arrival.
The steamer City of Glasgow, from Glasgow,
with dates to the 8th, also arrived at New York
yesterday; but her news was anticipated by
the Atlantic.
The Confusions or a Dying Incendiary.?
Unsuspected Parties Accused.?A despatch from
Utica, New York, diiicd on Friday last, says:
"In accordance with the law, II. 15. Conklin
was to-day executed for arson. Throughout
the dreadlul ot1 re monies attend <nt upon his
execution, he manifested great penitence, and
suid that be thought he had made ids peace
with his Creator, lie made a full confession,
which will not be published entire until after
the arrest of tho rest of the gang. Many other
persons are to be arrested, and will doubtless
be indicted by the next pauelof the graud jury.
Conklin was but tweuty-seven years of age at
tbe time he committed tho crime for which he
to day suffered the penalty of death. lie was
six years ago married to the daughter of W. L.
Crosby, who then kept the Westchester House,
No. 10 Bowery, New York city. Ho leavos a
wife aud three small children. In his confes
sion, he mentions the mimes of some of the most
wealthy and respectable citizens of this place,
who furnishod him with money, and told him
they would stand by him in any trouble which
he might get into through them. Of tifty-four
fires which occurred in this city during the past
two years, he applied the incendiary torch to
tbe following places: tbe First Baptist Church,
James Hayor's house, Foster & Dickinson's drug
store, Keyser's barn, Harrington's barn, and
other places. Tho confession u fleets many of
the most respectable men in this city."
Those Pooh Hcsuahians 1?How they do
scramble nnd bang them about! They must
find it infinitely worse than the Turkish impris
onment; that at least was quiet. Last night
the inevitable Breakyournecksy and tho whole
party were arrested by his Honor the Mayor,
and confined in his wife's splendid drawing
rooms until midnight, being meanwhile stuffed
to repletion with boned turkey, (forgetting that
Turkey h^l nearly boned tbein.) champagne
! that made them forget their campaigns, and
I oysters that compensated them for the oj preg
1 sions of Oystria. These outrages upon inuo
oent and unoffending foreigners are ungraceful
and ought to be put a stop to.?Jv. F. Day
Book.
A Novel Grievance.?A correspondent com
plains that the courteous nnd attentive clerk
who receives paid letters at our post office,
stamps them with such tremendous force as to
endanger tbe contents. He has suffered by
having " a diamond ring smashed into a cocked
hat." If this is his only grievance, he may use
the diamond as a brooch, and wear the hat.
But tbe stamper must make an indelible im
pression, and our correspondent should not send
rings to females by the mails.?Hum,
