BLACKWOOD'S MAUAZI.VKAnil the British Quarterly Reviews.

PREMIUMS TO NEW SCIIHCRIIIERK !

)WING to tiic late revolutions and counterrevolutionsamong the nations of Europe, whichve followed each other in such quick succession, '<d of which "the end it not yet," the leading peri-icals of Great Britain have become invested with MiJegree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc- | Hepy a middle ground between the hasty, disjoint- it, and necessarily imperfect records of the news- ofipers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises to isffurnished by the historian at a future day. The (Inrnerican Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to thi.11 renewed attention to these Periodicals, and rei

e very low prices at which they are offered toibscribers. The following is their list, viz: err

THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW. «

THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, MTHE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,huTHE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, andBLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE. ».

In these periodicals are contained the views, moil--: K"-ately, though clearly and tiriuly cxpre*-*ed, of theirec great parties in England.Tory, Whig, andadical. " Blackwood" and the " London Quurrly"are Tory; the "Edinburgh Review," Whig; |J!.id the " Westminster Review," Liberal. The JNorth British Review" owes its establishment to

re last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, er

nd is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand a

epartmcnts ofhuman knowledge ; it was origin- °*

lly edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since hiseath, is conducted by bis son-in-law, Dr. Ilanna,ssoeiated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary ul

haracter is of the very highest order. The "Westlinster,"though reprintei under that title only, is 11

ublisbcd in England under the title of the " For- OI

ign Quarterly and Westminster," it being, inict, a union of the two Reviews formerly published *

nd reprinted under separate titles. It has, thereire,the advantage by this combination of uniting "

l one work the best features of both as heretofore w

THE REPUBLIC.From the Huston Transcript. ac"The Great Emerson."* jf

) the Editor of the Transcript: n<

A writer in your paper, not long ago, treatedr. Ralph Waldo Emerson with greaf disrespect. *>

employed great severity and force of language, at

reins to me, when he spoke of "the nothingness ft

Emerson." I have lately read, with peculiar sat- traction,the highest laudation of Emerson, from a

pen of Mr. Willis, between whose prose and diit of the gifted Emerson there is often a striking </'ambiance.So far as the great Emerson is a person of prelinentgenius, I consider him a self-made man ri

ogcthcr. Let mc explain. I knew his father, Inr. William Emerson, well; and have listened to li<ndredw of his sermons. He was a man of genteel jfanners, with u good voice, and an easy delivery, riei was exceedingly amiable and pleasant in the Forrochial relation. Before he came to Boston, from dcirvurd.in 1799, he had the sobriquet of the "Jiower- bifrden preacher." He had rather an erect and mili- ,yory walk, which he might have contracted from ofs father, who was a chaplain in the army, and ret

ed such. But he, himself, was a man of scanty sot

arning, and notoriously of no extraordinary pow- jchi' J "-- -. ' r,k. JCWmm, W.-.S ha

The world, 1 am aware, contains u number o piorthy people, who arc partial to plain English p iow, it seems to me to be the design of Providenc heitat our state should be one of probation, and thai mi

c arc destined to win, not only our bread, but a| 1ur earthly enjoyments, by the sweat of our browf so

'here is a pleasurable excitement in strugglin, to'1th difficulties. It is precisely this which render Thie reading of almost every thing from the pan i am

ie great Emerson so very delightful. sai1 once asked an intelligent Jesuit, with whom 1

'as travelling, and who had assured me of his p«r Shjet belief in tne doctrine of transubstantiation', an upa the miraculous liquefaction of the blood yf Sair mianuarius, if he could reason upon these matter^ "c'God forbid," he replied, "that I should pretend t) thiomprchcnd things past finding out." Such is in br<

eply, when 1 am asked if I understand the writingf tne great Emerson. I look upon nine in ten wc

lie sentences of this self-made man as high conui gnIral mysteries. tri

His lectures have given great satisfaction; fl "jelhere is a larger proportion than some folks wl paif, in almost every auditory, who have more pie) in|iurc in being amazed and stupefied, than in beid lilinlightened. And it cannot be denied, that ti lis;rcai Emerson deal* in a species of dcmi-delicia| prlumbfoozleinent, and fudgemistical humors, whij liflave seldom been surpassed, in this or any otlf upountry. fo<One of the great Emerson's works was loan)

lie, this morning. 1 find a few passages of peq- qular merit, underscored ; and I cannot, in cO- peK'ience, withhold them. The casket, where 1 fi|l wl.hrse geins, is called ".Yature." is" Embossed for a season in nature, whose flodfl sh

if lite stream around «nnd through us, and in\K he.is, by the powrr* they supply to action propf d!lioned to nature, why should we grope among m sii

Jry bones of the past, or put the living generate < a

into masquerade out of its faded wardrobe? Vjun shines to-day also. There is more woo! ^d w

rtax in the fields. There are new lauds, new np, b<new though ft. Let us demand our own wojs, Gand laws, and worship"A few more of these jewels, taken almost at in- u<

dom, may be worth the exhibition, ns specimet of w

the great Emerson. y«'Wlien we speak of Nature, in this manneifwe si

have a distinct but most poetical sense in the oftd. dWe mean the integrity of impression inadjby icmanifold natural objects." y

Again: " In the presence of nature, a wilddqght u

runs through the man, in spite of real soriws. v

Nature says.he is my creature, and niaugre A his t

impertinent griefs, be shall be glad with me.' pAgain: " bunding on the bare ground, mprad >

bathed by the blithe air, ami uplifted into ignite I

apace.all my egotism vanishes. 1 become a ftna- IDarent eve ball. I arfi nothing. I see all. "Thecurrents'of the Universal Being circulate thsughme ; ] am part or partirle of God."Again: "The greatest delight, which the lelds n

and woods minister, is the suggestion of an ugult Irelation between man and the vegetable. I an not ialone, and unacknowledged. Tn«v nod to mgand fI to them."Now I take the last two pasagrs, transited c

from the Emerson into the hnglsn languagt, to I;mean precisely this Standing btreheadtd on the 1ground, and at the snme moment Ifted into wjimitspare, I am no longer the grrut timeton, but an rye-bait. J am nothing and tee every tkiig, and Seine reducedto nothing, I am a fraction tf Almighty tlod.IJane no plearurr in the fieldt to grot at that whichproceed* from the conviction that I im related to thetquathrt and pomniont 1 look upoi the cabbagtt at

my cousins of the half blood, and tee keep up a noddingacquaintance.Such h man, so related, is worth running after.

Objections are jna<l<\ I am aware, tothe etyle of thegreat Emerson. Others take an en.irely differentview of the matter, ond make a complaint of a

more eoletnn character. They speai of the great

Knereon-in terms of gross diercape-1. They sayis a tremendous humbug; and thu it is preposterousto complain of a man's stye whose very

substance is nothing hut chaff.Now and then, they idmit, there is s glimmeringof thought; but even that, they sver, has alwaysa rratv crack in it, and is so bandied up in

miserably aftiected verbiage, that It does not payfor the tronhle of extrication frotn its complex envelopes.

Flint, in his Ten Tears in the valley of the Mississippi,relates, that an Indian, with a solemn airof iuy stery, informed him, that if he would come tothe Indian's wigwam, he would show him a greattreasure, the like of which had never been seen before.Flint, from the Adian'a description, Imperfectas it was, supposed it must be a jewel, andmost probably a large diamond. He went to thewigwam. The Indian, with a great desl of ceremoniousmummery, took a large parcel from a

corner and proceeded to unfold it. Wrappers ofbirch lark and Indian cloth were taken off, oneafter another, till the patience of the viailrr was fairlyexhausted; when at length the Indian held up toview a fragment of cut-glasa decanter stopper, forwhich he bail sold packs of valuable beaver. I invariablythink of this anecdote when I think of thegreat Emerson. «

How pretty she is ! You jump from the trainth six hours' accumulation of appetite. Yourngry eyes survey the stock of pastry and pork's that are arranged mathematically on the BoardIll-Health before you, and, in the tempting valy,you are puzzled which to choose. A fairym with a blond cap Hits before you, and your incisiongrows greater. A silvery little voice, no

jger than a fourpenny piece, asks you "Whatu will please to taker" and in the nervousness

your throat, you murmur cooingly, "Turtle,il turtle." The next minute is handed you a

ip-plate, swimming full of ox-tails.and meinicallyyou dip the silver spoon into it. Youvc scalded yourself, of course.but what matter!le glance from those loving eyes, and the paina sweetened into pleasure. The plate is still beeyou, and you keep blowing, blowing.or rasr,sighing, sighing.hut your eyes and thoughtsfixed on the moving Grace before you.

How good-natured she is ! She has smiles atulange for every one. Her hands fly over the tublcnimbly as those of a German professor over thelano forte. She plays on the teacups with the radityof Thalbebg. Harmony seems to flow from

Angers, and each glass she touches becomes aisical glass.Jut though the Railway Refreshment Girl playsadmirably, yet she is rarely heard to sing. Talkher as much as you please, she seldom repliese fact is, she discourses with smiles, and eachtile is as good as a song, looking almost as if itd aloud, " Wilt thou love tnc then as nowNeatness waits on each little action she performs,e puts in the sugar to the negus herself, screwsuie uiuutii ui cut n pupcr mi utility mm mu

At five o'clock in the morninge looks as sunshiny as at noon; at ten at nightt eyes p*ur out a. much brightness as in the intdeof the day.

He hoped ihey wouldnot have a Trojan war about this modern HelenThis ereated some hilarity.A thind hit, which came down with a crash, wa«

this: The gentleman from North Carolina (MrVenahle) had told the House a day or twoago. thatif, after the separation of the Union, an al>oTitionistshould he found South, he was for hanging him onthe spot. "Very well," said Colonel Hinsell. "Ipresume the lirst man hung would lie the immortalMr. Clay, and some ten thousand Kentuckian*with him, who have voted for emancipation at thelast election, it would be a tine spectacle, indeed,to see so many men hung at once ; and it wuuldproduce such a consumption of the Kentucky sta

pic, (hemp,) that it was hoped the delegation fromKentucky would no longer require an annualcontract for hemp with the Navy Department.(Here the ladies in the gallery almost cried ; butthe members on the tltwr, anil "a great many Senatorsamongst them, almost burst out into u horselaugh.)Colonel Missel| levelled his cannon again. Said

he: The gentleman from North Carolina called this( Washington city) southern ground, and that theSouth could 1m: able to maintain it against theNorth and against all hazards. He iiad no doubtthey were brave'atul valiant men, and tlmt theyhad not deteriorated since 1811, when 4,000 Lnglishmen, fagged out by a long eruiae in the Potomac,lauded with three pieces of artillery, burntthe archives, and left the Capitol a smoulderingruin. (Profound silence and internal reflections.)As to the idea of a (^Southern Confederacy,"

Col. B. treated it with ineffable scorn and con

tempt, emphasizing it in a must hatetul manner.Illinois, he said, had furnished nine regiments inthe war with Mexico; she would double, nay tripleand quadruple that number, to march whereverthe Government might direct to preserve the Union.The hardest blow he struck was against "touthernchivalry " He laughed the idea to scorn that one

portiou of the Union had more courage than theother. He did not doubt southern bravery, thehistory of the country gave abundant proofs of it;but he nevertheless believed the southern chivalrywere guilty of two mistakes.the first consisted inundervaluing the bravery of others, the other heneed not mention.

In conclusion, he alluded to an historical factwhich created eonie sensation. He spoke of thebattle of Buena Vista, where the gallant Colouclhad so signally distinguished himself; hut he wascareful not to introduc e himself. He merely spokeof the fact that when the Indiana regiment, by theawkwardness of its leaders, gave way, it was notsouthern chivalry which gained the day, but northernvalor; the Illinois regiment and another Indianaregiment, with a portion of the Kentucky regiment,coming to the rescue aud driving back lueMexicans; while the Mississippi regiment stood &tnile off and had not pulled a trigger. This was "alittle more grape" into Colom-l Davis's war-horse,which at the same time is the Trojan horse of Mr.Calhoun. Colonel Bissell ended in a little uproar,when Mr. Winthrop obtained the floor and commencedbelaboring the Free-Soil wing on the otheiside. He did it ttcundnu artcm, after all the approvedrules of scientific tactics. He was to Bissellas <he scientific Scott to the Rough and Ready Toy-

_

lor. Root and Giddings received a caning; forthere is no other figure of speech which can adequatelyconvey an idea of the sort of chastisementtney received but that.Root was overwhelmed, but not at once ; Mr. W.

cut him to pieces by the inch; pausing every five ,minutes to sharpen his knife, to recommence operationswith additional gusto. lie said that theFree-Soil party, properly so called, under the cloakof philanthropy, did more real intentional mis< hicf,were guilty of greater calumnies, and were instigatedby more despicable selfishness than any regu- r

Iarly organised party that ever existed.[immenseapplause from the galleries.] He compared them(after Rurkc) with half a dozen grasshoppers, buzzingand humming through a field, and makingmore noise than a thousand head of cattle quietlyfeeding on the grass. He would follow no sucnlead.he had no connexion with them, and he ronIaidered them a nuisance even to the very principlethey proclaimed, merely to make capital out of itto satisfy their sordid selfishness.On the whole, this was a good day's work,and if

the belaboring of the two extreme wrongs willbring the centre together, we need not regret theseverity of execution, which, on a less serious occasion,would, perhaps, be inexcusable.

Considering thaitbey have no covering or protection whatever afterplanting, iu conaequence of my abacncc in NewYork, und a aevere froaty winter to encounter, itcould not be eapected that they would regelate.Whether the Maine aeaaon of the year adapted tothe planting of the lea-nut in China, Java and India,will be equally favorable in thia country, willsoon be proved by the reault of tea-nuta planted inOctober. The fact that the tea-plant i>uda anubloeeoma at the aatrie tunc of lite year in this climateaa it does in Aaia, is in favor of an identity oftune in planting. At the same liine I think earlyin the soring will be more certain. The tea-nut,generally Denominated tea-seed, is of the site andcolor of a haxlr nut, and equal in weight to eightcotton seeds. The bulk of a full ailed tea-nut istwo and a quarter inches in circumference.a middlingaired nut one and a quarter inch ; average,perhaps about one aud a lialf inch. Like all nuts,it contain* an oily kernel, which is covered with a*hcll thicker than that of a coliun-secd, but ratberthinner than that of a h trie-not. The public mindis misled by calling it tea-seed. It should be calledtea*nut, denoting more definitely its true character.Many persons hfcve written to me from a distance,requesting me to forward a *mall quantityol tta trfd in a teller, evidently misled by railing fttea-seed, and unacquainted with the size to whicha letter would be swelled by such an enclosure, besidesthe insecurity of such a mode of conveyance.The nut. therefore, should be packed and'transplantedin boars proportioned to the quantity andbulk of the nuts.To avoid misconception, and convey a more distinctidea, it may be well to call it by its true name,

tea- nut.There was not a man in Asia, nor a man in

America, who had any correct idea of the propermanner of packing tea-nuts for transportation upona long voyage of twenty thousand miles. I did notknow myself; and could not give practical instrur-iiuiii rmjMA iiiik »" » nr*ir r«mi«U. humnot to lie expected that people residing in the interiorof A#ia, nnnecuntomcd to picking ten-nut* andplants for foreign countries, nntl with no other guidebut mere guess-work. should innke n successfulshipment.

Plants and nuts, now on their passage home,were parked according to my instructions, and ifthey fail so far as the manner of pa king is concerncd, the error, as well as tin '.use, will be hit ow n
