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 Tly the British steamers, in a beautiful clear.U’pe. onfline white paper, and faithful copiJSofthecjiginals, Blackwood s Maga zine being extract sac simile of the Edinhitrndi Juir,,, Qfc Terms.

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.
