ABOUT the first of January next, if sufficient oe couragement is received, the Bienville Times will be changed into a religious journal, to be called the "IonsmAxA Barner." It will be the organ of the Baptist denomination in this State, and while advo cating the doctrines and principles of the Baptist de nomination, exhibiting the prospects and condition of the Baptist church, and sustaining realnusy all its benevolent enterprises, it willjbe conductel in a spirit of Christian kindness and charity to all osuer deno"- inations. The Convention having made Mount L~su non the centre of Baptist operations in this State it seems peculiarly desirable that it should have at this point a paper devoted to the advocacy of all its great inrests. Those who desire such a change-who fell the need of a Baptist paper in Louisiana-will pleas .sterest themselves promptly in its behalf, andprocureas many subsertiers as they can, and forward them by the 15th of December. We confidently look to ministers for aid. If a sufficient number of subscribers is not ob tained by that time, the Times will be continued as at present. Brethren, one and all I will you lend a helping hand, and give us a goodly list to begin with?

REPUBLICATION OF THE LONDON QUARTERLY, THE NORTH BRITISH, AND THE WESTMLNISTER REVIEWS, AND BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE. Leonard Scott & Co., Publishers, 79 FULTON AND 54 GOLD STEETS, ewTar Yor3.. ,FESE Periodical are the critical censors of the BI riish scholastic and literary world. By their criticisms, they aid readers in the selection of stand ard valuable books; and by the epitomes which they present, often obviate the necessity of consulting works too voluminous for generalsexamination. They fill a place which American nmagazines canot supply; for they discuss topics relating more strictly to theaffairs, political, religious, scientific, and literary, of the con tinent of Euape. They are conducted by the best talent of Great Britain: and are engaged with the most important questions which interest or agitate the civ ilized world. Whoever subscribes to them all, may read the ablest representatives of the principal parties into which the people of Great Britain are divided. TTHE EDINBURGH REVIEW s the exponent of the Whig party in Great Britain, having from its commencement advocated Freedom and the rights of the people. When the war, appa rently of extermination, was waged against France by British Tory rulers, and during which occurred the o second great struggle of England with our own coun try, this Review first unfurled the flag of reststance, and made, by its unanswerable and eloquent appeals in behalf ofinalienable rights, the halls of British legislation and even the throne itself to tremble. The graphic and stirring delineations of those events, pre sented in the pages of that distinguished journal, ex hibit the truest portraiture of those perilous days to be fonnd, perhaps, in the languge. Its influence was becoming so apparent, that at length the leaders of the Tory party, at whom the thunders of its eloquence were especially directed, found it too powerful an in strument to be resisted by ordinary means, and hence they established the "Quarterly." or as It is distin guished among the American Reprints, TIHE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, whlereby to counteract that influence which its power ful rival exerted against their measures. The two great political parties thus made strenuous efforts through their respectives organs, for the promulga'ion B of their antagoniatical principles; and during a long series of years, these two leading Periodicals have con 5 centrated the labors, the talent. and the influence of the adherents of the Whig and Tory parties of Great t Britain. e Men of the highest literary rank, as well as digni taries,. civil and ecclesiastic, have contributed to the pages of these work,: among there might be mentioned some of the most resplendent names on the scroll of fame. Among the regular contributors to the London Quarterly Review were urmrnev. .cutr, LcussoHAT. (its t present edlitor.) APPELt'xY. FERGtcsO , WORlDSW.RIT. LoaD M..IOs. DR. MuL..s.v, (whose article on Orital r literature have been so highly esteemed.) and that wonderful woman of science. MRaS. SoavII.La, with many others scarcely less celebrated. Then again in -the Edlinugh Reriec., it is enough to mention the following names, any one of which would of itself in sure a high degree of renown to any work with which O it might be associated:-we refer to J-ercrE, NAriRa, BROUtCHaa, MAClrnrrts and 3.srct'L.v;the first of whom during his long connexion wsttl the Review acctually wrote, on the average, one third of the articles that 0 graced its brilliant pages; while the universally ad mired essays of the last, republished so extensively in our own and the parent country, leave us in no h manner of doubt as to their great intrinsic merit.

This able Journal was established under the patron age and support of the ultra-liberals, so styled in the British House of Commons; among whom Roiruiex, MILts, BownMNG, PRomsoa Lo.e of the London Uni versity, Mics MAIranecAr, and others whose names need not be quoted, conspicuously figured. It was for some 6 years under the editorial supervision of Jerem- Beth am. from which fact it obtained the sobriqud of the mouth-piece of Benthamism. This work has ever hben especially devoted to thegreat topics which inter est the mass of people: its pages have been rife, it will be remembered, with a series of powerful articles, ten d ding to the reduction of Tory and exclusive privileges. hereditary rights, kingly Jerogatives, &c. The as tounding developments mite a few years since, re specting the wretched and. till then, unheard sf hor. rors of somine branches of the mining population of England. first appeared in its pages. Not only have its articles ever been directed against the afore-men tioned abuses; the work has also maintained an unre lenting crusade against the alliance of Church and n State, thus virtually seeking to abolish the "Parlin ' inmentary Religion" of England, and eventually to re move the still existing remnants of feudalism. which 15 continueto afflict the British natfron. It is has recently t. become the medium through which Cobden promul. gates his Free-trade doctrines. which will give it in creased interest to the numerous admirers, here and elsewhere, of that great Reformer. In many particu lars, the Westminister Review espouses a political ° faith closely allied to that of our own country:and therefore we may, without any extraordinary effort of charity, be induced to cherish it as an exotic worthy s of being engrafted into our more genial soil. It has r. recently been united with the Foreign Quarterly Re vo iew, the more attractive features of the two Reviews being now combined in the Westminister, and tims adding greatly to its value as a literary periodical. 0 THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW is a work of more recent origin than those already described-but is, nevertheless, destined to occupy a place in the Republic of Letters. The great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland led to its establishment. There was no JorrA*L in the LUn Tan KranGOM, which appeared to meet the necessities of this Anti-National-Church agitation. Indeed, the revolution caused by the disruption induced a new state of things, placing the actors in a new position of observation: nor could they give utterance to their new pereeptions of State and Church Polity-their new sympathie--their new emotions, without some or other organ of thought than any extant. Hence the spontaneous agreement of the great master of minds among them, in the necessity of a new outlet of opin ion, and the immeeiate creation of the Noarr Batrrns Rmasw. The basis of this Journal is the Evangelism of the Nineteeenth Century; nor is it to be overlooked as one of the striking characteristics of the times, that the grand prine.ple which Robertson, Smith, and many of the eminent men of Scotland took the field a century ago to write down, is now adtas.ted and sindi cated in this able work, and in the same literary me tropolls. This Periodical is not ultra in I.s views on any one of the grand departments of human knowledge: at the same time it never drifts from its moorings on the shores of pure Evangelical religion of the Bible. Nor will it fail to compare most favorably with every other cotemporary in the amount of talent, energy and spirit, enlisted on its side. The names of Sir David Brewster, Drs. Hanna, Cunningham, Lorrimer, Can dlish, Gordon, Buchanan, Smith, &c., are a host with in themselves. Much foreign talent is also pledged to adorn and enrich its pages. It is not to be consideraed strictly ao Theological Review, for topics of every ind calculated to occupy and inter est the well cultivated mind are introduced. Political questions, not so much in their party aspects as their general character, are considered. Literature and the literary merits of works are discussed, and discoveries in mental pnd physical science unfolded; the discuss ion of relegions subjects, however, in a dispassionate and Christian spitit, form adistinct feature of the work, and will continue to occupy a prominent place in its pages. The lamented DR. Cutrsus was the founder and principal Editor of this Review, and since his death has been ably conducted by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna. BLACKWOODS1 EDINBURG MAGAZINE is less exclusive in its character than the works al ready noticed; its contents may be considered under the general heads of classical literature, biography, narratives, historical and fictitious poetry, critical analyses of new works, &c., Ac. The high order of its disquisitions has long rendered it poudly distinguished in the department of Greek and Roman archeology, while its range of elegant fiction may be said to is cover a masterly power and skill, unsurpassed by any of its numerous contemporaries. Again, in its bio graphical department, and narratives of voyages and travels, no.less than in its papers on subjects purely scientific, this admirable Periodical has ever displayed resources unquestionably superior to any similar work in the world. As to its political opinions, although deeply infused with Troyism, to an extent the most zealous partisan could desire; yet, so witching is its rhetoric, and so consistently uniform is it in its anti republican obliquity, that, however obnoxious its ten ets, it is impossible for the reader to fail of being charmeed by the perusol bf its brilliant pages. The fact of this distinguished Magazine having, for a series of years, maintained a circulation in Great Britain of about 40,000 copies-a prodigious and unequalled cir eclation for that country, where the price is $7 50 a year, will alone settle the question of its presminent merits. The same remark is equally applicable to this country: it is well known that its circulation, even inthe United States, is already far above that of any other work of its class, notwithstanding the un palatable character of its politics, a fact which can only beacconned forbythetranscendsntability which characterizes its pages. Whe.we call to mind the mames of the contributors to this sterling work, it is not surprising that such BOOKS & PERIODICALS. high meed of praise should be awarded it in the re public of letters. Of the eminent writers who have raced its pages, may be mentioned the following: of. Wilson, better know as Ceriatopher North, its renowned editor; tDr. Warren, the graphic and brilliant author of the "litary of a late Physician," and of "Ten Thousand a-year," works which have been so extensively popular l a" republiehed form; R. P. Gilly, Anster, Jeffrey Lockhart, James, Lytton Bulwer, Dr. Maginn, Sydney Smith. and the author of "Tom 'rin gle's Log," "Cruise of the Midge," etc., works which have been the delight of thousands of readears It is at this time unusually attractive from the se rial works of Bulwer and of other distinguished writers which grace its pages as original contributors, appear ing first in this Magazine, both in the British and American Editions. By an arrangement with the British Publishers early sheets of the Magazine are regularly forwarded to this country so as to enable the American Publishers to ilsue their re-print before the original edition arrives. Notwithstanding they are thus sure to get in market before any of its contents can be published in other forms, still the popularity of these serial works is so great that several of the lead ing publishers in this country are content to issue other reprints of them copied from the reprint of Blackwood after it has already been placed in the hands of its numerous subscribers. "Ta CAxTows.," and -"My New Nov1r," by Bulwer; "My PLauvsnLAu lMapAL' "Ten Ga~ n HAND," and other serials of a similar stamp are among the works alluded to. Their great popularity in this country will show, in this feature alone, the attractions of Blackwood's Maga zine, and it is well to remember, in this connection. that twenty-five cents will purchase a monthly noas ber. Sustained, then, as these distinguished works are and ever have been, by the highest order of scholastic ability and political sagacity, we need not be surprised to find them occupying such a proud preeminence among the literary productions of the world- and the neglect of theia high claims upon the consideration of all classes of the intelligent community, would neces sarily argue a corresponding indifference to the great interests of the common weal. But a spirit of philo sophical inquiry is abroad among the people; and to the honor of the age may it be stated, that ignorance is no longer deemed a misfortune, but a fault: and as suredll the fault is not lessened when we find such rare advantages thus placed within our grasp: and however trite, also. may be the remark, it is not the less true, that if the cultivation of literature brings its own reward, the neglect of it brings its punishment - With these views, therefore, the American publishers respectfully beg to invite the especial attention of their fellow-citizens to the Reprints of the several Period icals her, referred to, feeling couldent that in doing so they will not only observe the best interests of pop clar intelligence, but will, at the same time, add to the general happiness of the nation, by imparting to the public mind a healthful stimulus for a high order of intellectual pleasure.
