REPUBLICATION OP 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 lound 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 -1 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 tation, of uniting in one work the best 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 sac-simile 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 hands 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. *+ * Remittances and communications should be al ways addressed, post-paid or franked, to the pub lishers.

I The water at Bayou Sara is now within a few inches of being as high as it was in the mem orable year of 1828. What effect the Raccour ci Cut-Off has had on the water here, we are unable to determine ; but wo are informed that the banks above the Cut-Off are some three hr four feet above high water. Below the Cut- Off a great many plantations are inundated, j The Bayou Sara Ledger of the same day, states the river was constantly rising at that point, and the town was fully four feet under water. The Baton R.ouge Gazette of the 241 h j says: The river is still ou a rise, and threatens I destruction to all around. Several 'crevasses ; have taken place on the other side of the river, and the whole country in West Baton Rouge i is boundto be overflowed. Even here, with our j elevated position, the levee street for the length of four squares is impassable. The planter* on the coast are unable to ship their crops; all kinds of business is at a stand and our pros pects are still gloomy. From the high stage of water, the Pointe Coupee Echo of the 24th expresses great fear that the planters ou False River will suffer ex tensive damage, with those on Grosse Tete, Fordoche and elsewhere, should a crevasse in that vicinity take place. @ The Ecno says: The levees, as a general thing, are in toler able order from Kaccourci down to the lower mouth of False River, and should the river fall there would be no danger; but, unfortunately the rise is constant and great, for stage of wa ter and for the season of the year, being not less than two inches within the last thirty-six 1 hours. In the Plaquemine Democrat of Saturday ! we find the following: The water is very high at this place, and still continues to rise slowly. It is already within three inches of the high water mark of 1828,and should it continue to rise a few days longer, a general inundation would in - evitably by the consequence. The Levee Above the City.—The Mayor of the citv was called upon yesterday to render assistance in strengthening the levees at Free port. He at once sent up a large force of men, horses and carts, and two breaches which had occurred were temporarily stopped. The t urveyors of the Second and first Municipali ties have reported that the levees at Freeport are in a dangerous state, and they are extend ing their examination to Carrollton. The Mayor will have a large force again at work this morning, and will be guided by the report of the surveyors in taking further steps to pre | vent an inundation. That there is much dan i ger,no one denies, but the authorities are watchful. The whole levee from the lower j limits of the city to Carrollton are exposed to : danger at particular points, but the principal apprehension is of a breach at Carrollton. The Mayor of the city is fully aware of the danger, and will exert his powers to their full i extent to guard against a crevasse. —Pic .2d inst. —— Special Notices, BUSINESS CARDS!?
