BRITISH PERIODICAL
LITERATURE.
REPUBLICATION OF
The London Quarterly Review,
The Edinburg Review,
The North British Review,
The Westminster Review, and
Blackwood’s Edinburgh Maga-
ZINE.
The wide-spread fame of these splendid periodi
cals renders it needless to say much in their praise.—
As literary organs, they stand far in advance of any
works of a similar stamp now published, while the
political complexion of each is marked by a dignity,
candor, and forbearance, not often found in works of
a party character.
They embrace the views of the three great parties
in England—Tory, Whig and Radical —Blackwood
and the London Quarterly are Tory; the Edinburgh
Review, Whig; and the Westminster Review Radi
cal. The North British Review is more of a reli
gious character, having been originally edited by Dr.
Chalmers, and now, since his death, being conducted
by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna, associated with Sir
David Brewster. Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The ‘ Westminster,’ though re
printed under that title only, is published in England
under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and West
minster, it being in fact a union of the two Reviews
formerly published and reprinted under separate ti
bles. It has, therefore, the advantage by this combi-
Ution, of uniting in one work the best features of
both as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York,
immediately on their arrival by the British steamers,
in a beautiful clear type, on fine white p aper, and are
faithful copies of the originals, Blackwood’s Magazine
being an exact fac-siraile of the Edinburgh edition.

EARLY COPIES.
Our late arrangement with the British publishers
of Blackwood’s Magazine secures to us early sheets
of that work, by which we are enabled to place the
entire number in the bands of subscribers before any
portion of it can be reprinted in any of the American
journals. For this and other advantages secured to
our subscribers, we pay so large a consideration, that
we may be compelled to raise the price of the maga
zine. Something may therefore be gained by sub
scribing early.

than any Northern marble, and when fairly tested
will be equal to Italian. We have secured the ser

fully understand all the various branches connected
with the business, and we pledge ourselves, in point
i of workmanship and durability, to give entire satis
faction, or no charge will be made. To all those

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE.
EDITED BY DANIEL LEE, M.D.
Illustrated with numerous elegant and costly
Engravings.
TERMS.--ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM,
IN ADVANCE.
The character and object of the SOUTHERN
CULTIVATOR are so well known, .wherever it has
been read, that the Publishers deem it scarcely ne
cessary to say anything in reference thereto in sub
mitting a Prospectus, for the SEVENTH VOLUME.
To establish an
AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL
worthy of the South, and her varied and diversified
products, industry and resources, has been their
highest ambition; and although their efforts have been
but poorly rewarded, they, flatter themselves their
labor has not been in vairf. The services of an
Editor, Dr. LEE, one of the first practical and scien
tific Agriculturists in the Union, have been secured
at a heavy expense; and the work, is embellished by
a most accomplished Artist, whose labors are exclu
sively devoted to its illustration. Indeed, no effort nor
expense has Deen spared to render the work most
useful and instructive to those for whose exclusive
benefit it is designed. Having performed fully, as
we think, our duty, it remains to be seen whether
the Planters of the South will “ put their shoulders
to the wheel” and aid us and themselves in this great
work of improving the husbandry and meliorating
the social condition of the whole people. We think
they will, and it is our confidence in their intelligence
and liberality which has sustained us through years
of unrewarded toil. The Work should be in the
hands of and read by every one who has the charge
of a family in the Southern States; and to show how
earnest we are in our desire to excite an effort among
our friends to extend its circulation and usefulness,
w? offer the following splendid Premiums to those
who may interestthemselves in procuring subscribers :
$750 in Premiums.
f3 > F° r the highest number of subscribers, not less
than one hundred, sent by any one individual, a
premium of twenty-five dollars.
HIT F°r the next highest number, not less than
eighty, twenty dollars.
3£jpFor the next highest number, not less than
sixty, fifteen dollars.
f~V For the next highest number, not less than
fifty, ten dollars.
For the next highest number, not less than
forty, live dollars.
These Premiums will be paid in the most approved
Agricultural works, and will apply to each of the fol
lowing named ten States, viz : North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkar.sf; s and Texas. So that
each State may secure an t .ire list of premiums, it
the friends of Agriculture bestir themselves. They
will receive the work at the Club price.
The premiums to be uworcUH on the ft rut «Uy of
MARCH, 1849.
All persons who desire to enter the list for Pre
miums must notify us on forwarding the first names.
The first number of the Seventh Volume will be
issued on the FIRST OP JANUARY, 1849. It will
be published monthly, on fine paper, in quarto form,
each number containing SIXTEEN PAGES of close
ly printed matter, 9 by 12 inches square, forming a
volume in the course of the year, of 192 pages.

CHRONICLE & SENTINEL
MISCELLANY.
The Subteranean Lake os the Central
i Road Route, (Michigan.)—We some time
since gave an account of the singular discove
j ry of an underground lake, on the line of the
Central Road west of Niles about two miles.
In crossing a low swale, or marsh, it became
necessary to make an embankment about twen
ty feet high, to correspond with the grade of
the road, and the narrowest part of the marsh
was chosen, being about 1000 feet across, on
either side of which was high level ground.
After the embankment had been carried about
40 feet on to this low ground, the earth gradu
ally gave way and sank down into what seem
ed to be a bottomless pit. The sudden disap
pearance ofthe embankment was accompanied
by tremendous convulsions of the ground for
some distance around where the casualty oc
curred. and cracks were caused by the upheav
ing ofthe ground, deep and large enough to
bury a cart and horse in. From exploration
and researches made, it appears that the piece
of ground over which the grading was to be
made had once been a lake, bnt was now cov
i ered by a soil of roots, muck, &c. to the thick
| ness of from ten to twelve feet. The submerg
ed lake is abont two miles long, and is in some
parts half a mile wide. At the place where
this railroad track crosses it is the narrowest.
At one end ofthe lake is what appears to have
been an island, as there are trees of large growth
standing, while on nearly the entire circuit of
the lake the ground or surface of ten feet has
become so hardened that the best of grass is
grown, and the spot has been regularly mowed
this several years. We believe, in some parts
of it, good potatoes have been grown. The
depth of the lake is ascertained to be about 80
feet in the deepest part, and water as clear and
pure as that in the river at this city.
After the sinking of the first grading the
work was pushed ahead with increased strength
and for eight months, 80 hands were employ
ed continually, day and night, one set retiring
as the other came on to the work. As the em
bankment gradually extended out over the
part that sank, into the sod and crust, again it
would become so heavy that another sinking
would take place, and in this manner the work
has been going on. The excavation and em
bankment was after awhile commenced on both
■ides of the lake, and last week the contractor
says the filling in had met at the bottom, and the
prospect was that no more trouble would be
found in rapidly completing the work. The
above number of workmen have been engaged
at this point for fifteen months. Eight months
of the time as before.mentioned, day and night.
It has cost an immense sum to accomplish the
original,'plan adopted, of crossing at this point,
but like every thing else undertaken by this
Company, goes straight forward. We lately
saw an account of a similar lake on some of
the Southern roads, but not as extensive a one
as this. The soil on the surface of the lake is
of a rich black color, and in some places has
bean plowed and planted. The grass grown is
i of a good quality, and the pasturage during
the season of the very best. It is certainly
strange that the discovery had not been made
hefnrft, but tho oldaot inhabitants never thought
of the matter —and in all probability it would
never have been brought to light had not this
road caused it.
The ground was as solid, seemingly, as any
marsh, and at all events, sufficiently so for all
practical purposes, except railroad embank
ments.—Detroit Free Press .
