Premiums to JYcw Subscribers.
/"XWING to the late revolutions and
counter revolutions among the na
tions of Europe, which have follow
ed each other in quick succession, and
of which ‘‘TUB KNI) IS NOT yet,” the
leading periodicals of Great Britain have
become invested with a degree of interest
hitherto unknown.—They occupy a mid
dle ground between the hasty, disjointed, |
and necessarily imperfect records of the j
newspapers, and the elaborate and ponder- j
ous treaties tribe furnished by the historian
at a futureViay. The American Publish
ers, therefore, deem it proper to call re
newed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are of
sered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz:—The London Quaiterly
Review, the Edinburg Review, the North
British Review, the Westminister Review,
and Blackwood's Edinburg Magazine.
In these periodicals are contained the
views moderately, though clearly and
firmly expressed, of the three great pap
ties i” England—Tory, Whig 3nd Radi
*sd “Blackwood” anil the London Quar.
te ly are Tory; the Editing Review
Whig; and the “Westminister Review”
Liberal. The “North British Review”
owes its establishment to the last great ec*
clesiastical movement iri Scotland, and is
not ultra in its views on any one of the
grand departments of human knowledge; ]
it was originally edited by Ur. Chalmers, 1
and now since his death, is conducted by i
his soniin-lavv, Dr. Hannah, associated ;
with Sir David Brewster. Its literary;
character is of the very highest order.
The “Westminister” though reprinted un- !
der that title only, is published in England
under the title of the “Foreign Quarterly
and Westminster,” it being in facta union
of the two reviews formerly published and
re-printed under separate titles. It has
therefore the advantage by this combina
tion, of uniting in one work the best fea
tures of both as heretofore issued.
The abovciperiodicals are re-printed in
Njyw York, immediately on their arrival

“From this, those who have paid attention to
the fluctuations of our paper currency, will pej
ceive that the Bank e-pansion which began in
1343, continues to advance. The amount of
Bank paper money now afloat is greater than it
was at any previous period, although, even now
! it is not so great, perhaps, considering the eir
| cumstanees of the country’, as to give cause for
l immediate alarm
! The increase in the Bank note circulation,
I between January 1, 1851, was about 22 millions,
| or at a rate of about 18 per cent., while, at the
1 same lime, the increase in the Specie was but
; little more than 3 millions, at at a rate little ex
j ceeding 7 per cent. M
j This small increase of S™p ,e ln the Vaults of
U tile Banks is well worth,.
j from California. There uasTio be cure, an in
crease, in addition, of betwqen 3 or 4 millious
in the item of “Specie funfisr;” but there is ev
ery reason to believe that ajvery small amount
of the precious tnetals is included under this * e
ry indifferent heading. ‘Spfc-ie funds’ consist,
for the most part, of Notes aid Checks on oth
er Banks, and other obligatmns payable on de
mand, which the Bank officers have not time
properly to rpport at the moment of making ud
the accounts.”

Correspondents, through whom till intelligence

generosity of their fellow citizens of the South
