BRITISH PERIODICAL LITERATURE, 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 completion of each is marked by a dignity, candor, and forbearance, not cften found in works of a party character. They embraee 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 tation, 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 whitepaper,and are faithful copies of the originals, Blackwood’s Magazine being an exact fac-sirniie 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.

POETRY AND MISCELLANY THE RAINBOW— by amelia. 1 sometimes have thought in my loneliest hours, That lie on my heart like the dew on the flowers, Os a ramble I took one bright afternoon, When my heart was as light as a blossom in June ; The green earth was moist with the late fallen show ers, The breeze fluttered down and blew open the flowers. While a single white cloud in its haven of rest, On the white wing of peace floated off in the west. As I threw back my tresses to catch the cool breeze, That scattered the rain-drops and dimpled the seas, Par up the blue sky a fair rainbow unrolled Its soft-tinted pinions of purple and gold ; ’Twas born in a moment, yet, quick as its birth, It had stretched to the uttermost ends of the earth, And, fair as an angel, it floated all free, With a wing on the earth and a wing on the sea. How calm was the ocean ! how gentle its swell! Like a woman’s soft bosom it rose and it fell, While its light sparkling waves, stealing laughingly o’er, When they saw the fair rainbow knelt down -to the shore; No sweet hymn ascended, no murmur of prayer, Yet I felt that the spirit of worship was there, And bent my young head in devotion and love, Neath the form of the angel that floated above. How wide was the sweep of its beautiful wings j How boundless its circle ! how radiant its rings! If I looked on the sky ’twas suspended in air, If I looked on the ocean the rainbow was there; Thus forming a girdle as brilliant and whole As the thoughts of the rainbow that circled my soul; Like the wing of the Deity, calmly unfurled. It bent from the cloud and encircled the world. There are moments, I think, when the spirit receives Whole volumes of thought on its unwritten leaves, When the folds of the heart in a moment unclose, Like the innermost leaves from the heart of the rose; And thus, when the rainbow has passed from the sky, The thoughts it awoke were too deep to pass by ; It left my full soul like the wing of a dove, All fluttering with pleasure, and fluttering with love. 1 know that each moment of rapture or pain But shortens the links in life’s mystical chain; I know that my form, like the bow of the wave, Must pass from the earth and lie cold in the grave; Yet, oh! when death’s shadows my bosom uncloud, When I shrink from the thought of the coffin and May hope, like the rainbow, my spirit enfold [shroud , In her beautiful pinions of purple and gold. Ice and Steam —The ice houses are filled, and the dealers are now engaged in stacking the ice—to be covered unless exported, here after. A stack of clear, blue, transparent ice. of the size of a meeting house, is no ordinary sight, but is a sort of Yankee pyramid worth going to Fresh Pond to behold. To show the rapidity with which the ice is taken from the water, under favorable circumstances, we are told that Mr. Wyeth has put into his ice house, with the aid of a steam engine and his machinery, no Jess than eight hundred tons of ice in one hour and a half! This is a degree of expedition in the work, that has probably never been exceeded.— Bunker Hill Aurora.
