OWING to the late revolutions and counter re volutions among the nations of Europe, which have followed each other in such quick suc cession, and of which "the end is not yet," the lead ing periodicals of Great Britain hove become:in vested With a degree of interest hitherto unknown '1 hey occupy a middle ground between the! hastv, disjointed and necessaiily imperfect records'of ithe newspapers, and the elaborate and ponderous tre.v Uses to be furnished by the historian at a future'day. Whoever reads these periodicals obtains a correct and connected account of all the i-nportnnt 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 Pub hshers therefore deem t proper to call renewed at tention to the works they republish, and the very low prices at which they are ofTercd to subscribers '1 lie following is their list, viz: The London Quarterly Review—The Edin burgh Review—The North British Re view— Tie Westminster Review and Blackwood s Edinburgh Magazine. In these periodicals are combined the views, mo dera'ely, though clearly and fitmly expressed *of the three great parties in England—Tory, Whig and Radical—Blackwood and the London Quarterly are Tory; the Edinbnrg Review, Whig: and the \V estminster Review, Liberal. The North British Review owes its establishment to the last great ec clesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not ultra in its views 011 any one of the grand departments ol human knowledge; is was originally edited by Dr. Chalmeft, ahd now, since his death, is con ducted by his son inlaw, Dr Hanna, associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is of the very highest order. The Westminster, thoueh reprinted under that title only, is published in Enle kind 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, hjias, therefore the advantage bv Uns combination of uniting in one work the best both, as heretofore issued YoTkimmT , P ? riodica ' s . are ^Printed in New iork immediately on their arrival by the British steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white paper, nnd are faithful copies of the originals— $3 per annum. 5 do. 7 do. 8 do. 3 do. do.

The Louisville Journal says: "Dr. Rogers' Liverwort and Tar not only gives immediate relief in Coughs and Colds, but from the testimony of men of the highest standing hero and elsewhere, it is making some very remarkable cures *of Consumption." The Railway Register adds: "We have heard it stated by persons of great respectability, who have used this medi cine, that it is one of the most remarkable medicines of the age, fer Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Bronchitis, Asthma, Pain in the Side and Breast, Spitting of Blood, Whooping Cough and all Lung Complaints, which if neglected,usually termi nate in Consumption; and the certificates attached to the advertisements would seem fully to justify this statement."« LIVERWORT. This plant has for many years been found to he of singu lar virtue in the cure of affections of the Liver. More re cently jt was ascertained that it possessed great power ii arresting Bleeding at the Lungs, Coughs of a chronic cha racter, &c., and of essential service in ail diseases of a pul monary character. TAR. This article is now universally acknowledged to lie tin most healing and ertieient application fordiseased or decay ing lungs, or any portion of the fleshy or muscular partso the human body. Its medicinal and preservative qualities were understood liy the Egyptians in the early apes of the world, and no doubt now exists among scientific men, that the preparation used in the embalmment of bodies, composed principally of this ingredient. In later ngei was found to be in universal use among the aboriginies of America, and at this day it is their principal, aud, in fact, only medicine for an unsound state of the lungs, or any ap proach toit. Those who are acquainted with the history of this hardy race of men, know thata death from Covmimp tion is unknown umong them! The medical faculty in all countries appear to have become aware of the great healing properties of this article, and are now introducing it into their practice. Dr. Buchau of England, Dr. Crighton of St Petersburg, Dr. La Prieure of Paris, and the distinguished Dr. Cooper, have been in the habit of combining it with oth er articlesintheir prescriptions,and with entire success.
