They cannot allow themselves to doubt, ar int?with all their former contributors, with the <U ddilion of many new ones, not less valuable and at istinguished?under the conduct still of Mr. W. th rtlmore Simms, its sole Editor during the past ' uj ear?and with the assurance which tlie subscri* ut era now beg leave to give, that the work will be 1 ui lenceforward issued in a style very superior to t|| lint of the past, on better paper, with a fine new ,\ ype, and with n regard to neatness nnd finish, In iiiicli will leave it second to none in the country? 1 m hey \\ ill continue to receive that patronage which 1 el lisir own endeavor and the claims of such an or- | rt an seem reasonably to demand. j T The writers for the Review include the greater ei mnber of the best and ablest names of the j ti ountrv. They represent the highest literary ! dent of the South, and reflect truly, with a na- : '< ivr earneatners, force, and fidelity, the real pol- j ^ cy and the peculiar institutions of our section. W e entreat the people of the South, who feel ! ^ lie importance of such a periodical as the Review, ' '' .0 ozcuhc its deficiencies^ and generously lend iheniaelves to its assistance. With their countc- j nance and concurrence, it can become the estab- | " iiahed tugan of doioestic opinion - tin champion ' of our rights and character abroad?the guide and ; e counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste at home?the arena in which the better minds of ! ' the country nmy always distinguish themselves, and find the proper provocation to execution and 11 performance?the wholesome authority to which j wc may always turn for the correction and re- '' straint of crude and undigested speculation. These J arc nil objects of the last necessity to a civili/cd ' ' people, who luivc anything to gain by enterprise, or any thing to lose by rCininsnrss and imlilfer- 1 cure. Once more, wensk from the patrons of the r Review, indulgence for the past, and such symj 1 ' path v and support for the future, as are due to the vital interests which it liuthlVdly serves, and the character which it Nceks to establish.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE ' A SI) Til K BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS. 1'iculluut's lo New Subset ibevs. OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revolutions among tlie nation* of Europe, which h ive followcd each oilier in quick succession, and of which I fie 44 cihi is not yet" the leading periodicals of<?re.,1 Britain have become mve tid with a degree of interest hitherto unknown. Thev occupy a middle ground between the lusty, disjointed, and 11 rcss.irily imperfect record' of the iicvvsp per . and the c!ab<>rute and ponderous treatises to befuriu-hed by the historian at a lit: ur<' day. The Am. riean Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to call leuexved attention to these Periodicals, and the very low price. at w hich they are otlered to subscribers. The following is their list, viz : THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, I'HE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, PHE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, AND BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE. In these periodicals are contained the views, moderately, t hough clearly and firmly expressed, of the three great parties in England?Tory, Whig ami Radical?" Blackwood " anil the 44 London Quarterly " are Tory ; the. ?Edinburgh K vi v. " Whig; and the 41 Wc.-tmif.strr Review " Liberal. The44 North , Biitish Review " owes its establishment to the last , grc. t ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any lie of the grand departments of tinman knowledge ; it was originally edited \ , by Dr Chalmers, nnd now, since his death, is conducted by his <oii-in-laiv. Dr. Hanna. associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is of the , eery highest order. The 44 Westminster," though reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng- , land under the title of the 41 Foreign Quarterly and 1 \ Westminster;" it being in fact union of the two I, Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-1 , ate titles. It has therefore the advantage by this ! ombination of uniting in one work the best features ', if both as heretofore issued. The above Periodicals are reprinted in New Yolk, innii diatelv on their ariival by the British steamers, 11 a beautiful clear type, on tine white paper, and are faithful copies of the originals.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK. THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS AMERICANS. Daguerreotypes by Brady?Engraved by D'Avignon. KDITKP BY AN ASSOCIATION OK LITERARY MEN. ?TNDER this title will be published, during the v..t v. ;ir 18.10, twenty-four Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Ann-iic,in citizens who have become illustrious in the service of the country. Every portion of the w irk will receive the in -st careful .ittcnlion, and nothing will be spared to render it a Worthy nail enduring mi nurncnt to the great men of the .Republic. Air. Brady has been many years engaged, at great expense, in collecting Portraits fo' a National Uallery, and those which arc being engraved for tliis work are believed to be supciior to any that have ever-irci 11 taken. In tlie accomplishment of this grea1 objoc lie lias experienced the utmost c- urle-y and encouragement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady's reputation has been loo long established to need any recommend# ion. Mis daguerreotypes are in the highest sense the works ot ..rt, glowing with tLeSotil ?f the living countenance. , The drawings and engravings of D'Avignon have been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be lolly equal, ana in some respects superior to innsc 01 inc i best artists nT Uondon and I'aris ; and every jm- | prcssion in this Gallery will be taken under his immediate supervision The typography will be executed as carefully and in as superb a style as the engravings themselves. The entire work will be on i ihe finest imperial folio paper, l(i by '2 b inches, made expressly for this purpose. ; This work has nothing sectional in its scope ; it will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The ] names of those men only are admitted,whose talents and public services have won for thein an honorable t fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de- j partments of life will have its rcprcsentaiiws. Art | ] and literature are universal ill their spirit* and the Gallery is intended to be a worthy and enduring inon- ] uineut to tlic great men of the Republic, whose! achievements and lame constitute the chief glory of j | the nition.

Sir: 1 have the honor herewith to transmit copics of a correspondence which has taken place between the Minister Plenipotentiary of Iter Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and this Department lelative to the proposed Industrial Exhibition to be held in Lairuioit in the year 1851. From the circular <>f the Royal Commissioners ot Great Bi itain, hereto annexed, it w ill be observed thai all objects intended to lie introduced from foreign count ins and entered lor that Exhibition are required to have been first submitted to and approved by a central authority or commission of the country from which they shall he birouglit, and tiitt no other will be recognized as a central authority except such as shall have been so certified by the Government of the country in w hich it exists. That American fndiistry and arts may be enabled to appear in tne place allotted to tnein, il will be indispensable that a recognized central authority should lie constituted ; and I am tinder the impression that the National Institute, having been regularly incorporated by act of Congress, and being habitual'y engaged in matters pertaining to the aria and sciences, is the proper body fur taking the initiativo in constituting such a central uutlioiity. 1 therefore beg leave to submit to its consideration the interesting and important subject which has been brought to the attention of this Department by the distinguished Envoy of her Majesty's Government, and to request such action or suggestions as in ay seem necessary in order that the natural productions, the ingenuity, industry, anil arts of the United States may be fully and suitably represented on the interesting occasion herein referred to. 1 have the honor to be, very respectfully, yours, JOHN M CLAYTON. This communication ivus laid before the National Institute, and by it referred to a select committee, which brought forward the following report: Rrport qf the Committee qf the National Institute: The special committee, to which was referred the communication from the Hon. John M. Clayton, Secretary of S'ate, relative to the formation of a central authority for transmitting articles to the Industrial Exhibition to be held in London in 18iil, offers the following report: The committee,impressed wi'h the importance of fhe subject commended to the Institute, have given to il their earnest and careful attention. The resources, the ingenuity, the industry, and arts of the United States arc conceived to merit he best oddeavors to procuic for them the opportunities ol being adequately represented iu the great Industrial Exhibition at Loudon. Aggreeably to the programme adopted by the Royal Commission, no articles are to be received from foreign Exhibitors except those which shall have been approved by a central authority, recognized as such by the Government of the country from which they ate sent. Tliis institute being the only Society for the Prootion of Science and the Arts, directly incorporated by the Government^ the Secretary of State has deemed it the appropriate body to take action or make suggestions relative to the fulfilment of the wishes of the Itoyal Commissioners, by the establishment of such a central authority as the case seems to require. To this voluntary proposal on the part of the Secretary of State, the committee consider the National In-titute in duty bound to respond. In accordance with thin viow, the committee respectfully recommend the following resolution : 1. Resolved. That the lnrtitutc will take action on the subject submitted to it by the Department o( State. ? 2. Resolved, That the Institute do now proceed to constitute a committee suitable to be recognised by the Government as a central b?>dy to hold correspondence with the Briiish Commissioners, and to secure the reception ol' American niodUetLliS at the proposed industrial Exhibition in London.

JOHN M CLAYTON. Might Honorable Sir H. L. Btiatti, fce. Extract from tlu Circular of the Royal Commitairmen. "The Commissioners have feltlliut it would he deeiruble, aa far as possible, to prevent any persons from sending hither articles which cannot he idmitted, rather than to reject the articles alter their arrival in London. They feel also that the delicate and responsible task of deciding on the admission or rejection of articles destined for exhibition by foreign contributors ought not to be imposed upon uny Fnglish tribunal, but should be referred to one aving the confidence of the exhibitors tlien-vc.ves, and standing entirely free from possibh ..iputations of national partiality. They ac.ce .ngly propose to admit to exhibition sueh foreign articles only aa may be forwarded to them by the Centrul Authority (whatever may be its nature) in euch country. They will communicate to such Central Authority the amount of space which can be allowed to the productions of the country for which it acts, and will also state the conditions and Imitations which may from time to time be decided 011 with respect to the admission of articles. All articles forwarded by such Central Authority will then he udinitted, provided they do not require a greater aggregate amount of space than that assigned to the productions of the country fVom which they come; and, provided, also, that they do not violate the conditions and limitations of which due notice shall hav? ?.???. given. It will rest with the Central Authority in each country to decide upon the merits of the several articles presented for exhibition, and to take care that those which are sent are such as (airly represent the industry of their fellow-countrymen. " Her Majesty's Commissioners will consider that to be the Central Authority in each ceme which is stated to be to by the Government of iti country. Having once been put in t^mmunication with a* Central Authority in any cimntry, they must decline, absolutely and entirely, any communication with private and unauthorized ^individuals ; and, should any such be addressed to them, they can only refer to a central body. This decision is essentially necessary, in order to prevent confhsion. ? No articles of foreign manufacture, to whomsoever they may belong, or wheresoever they mav i be, can be admitted for exhibition unless they come with the sanction of the Central Authority of the country of which they are the produce. The Commissioners do not insist upon such articles being in all cases uclually forwarded by the Central Authority, though they consider that this would generally be the most satisfactory arrangement ; out it is indispensable that th?? such authority should in all cases be expressly given, and that it be held responsible for the fitness of such articles for exhibition, and for not authorizing the exhibition of a greater quantity than can be acconunodated in the space assigned to the productions of the country in question." A fttll discussion was then had of the Bubject thus laid before the committee, and, on motion of the Hon, W. W. Seaton, it was? Resolved, That the Committee of live first charged with this subject by the Institute (substituting Mr. Kennedy for Mr. Greenough, who is absent) be an Executive Committee to take all necessury steps to carry out the views of the general coin mittee. The following gentlemen constitute the Execu tive Committee : Col. Peter Force, Prof. Walter R. Johnson, Prof. Joseph Henry, J. C. G. Kennedy, Esq., Capt. Charles Wilkes. On motion? Resolved, That the Secretary be requested to 1 prepare the proceedings of this meeting for pub- I Mention. And the Committee adjourned. 1 CHARLES F. STANSBURY. J Secretary of the Meeting. fl N.

K SOUTHERN M I ERA RY GAZETTE, 1 Was commenced on Saturday, the 4th of May, 1 18i>0, under its original name?instead of Richards' 9 Weekly Gazette?as more significant ot its peculiar 1 character, it being the only weekly organ or Litera- ? ture in the entire South! It is | Greatly Enlarged and Improved, '<1 Containing weekly Thirty-two Columns oi i matter. It is, moreover, in an Entirely New Dress j "from head to fool," and upon beautiftil wmre J paper, so that, in mechanical excellence, it is not ] surpassed by any paper whatever in the United j States! It continues under the same Editorial J direction as heretofore, and no nqins or expense 1 will be spared to niuke it Choice Family Netcspaper, "as cheap as the cheapest, and us good as the best!" Utterly discarding the notion that a Southern journal cannot compete with the Northern weeklies, in cheapness and interest, The Southern Literary Gazette rivals the best of them in ail the characteristics of a truly valuable fireside Journal. Its aim is the diffusion of cultivated and refined taste througliov' the community?and it embraces in its nmple folds ever species of intelligence that can tend to this result. Original Contributions, < from many of the ablest writers in the South, chietiy occupy its columns, but not to the exclusion of choice miscellany, selected front the best American and European sources. The tone of the "Gazette" is independent ,n criticism and in the discussion of every legitimate topic, but it is strictly Neutral in Politics and Religion ! Its columns are occasionally entbe'lished with Southern Portraits and engraved expressly for the wft, an<f accompnnied by biographical and '?>p >graphical sketches. Its General Information is copious, but ctiietully condensed from the lending journals of all parts of the world.
