the date of the last examination of the other was March, 1560.

Considerable discussion followed this revelation, whieh only strengthened the opinion that Mr, Arbuckle might be the right man (/), but, as In- apector of Schools, he was not in the right place. Iwo Resolutions were then read and carried, viz:

BLACKWOOD’S MAGAZINE

AND THE

BRITISH REVIEWS.

L. SCOTT & CO., New York, continue to publish the following leading British Periodicals, viz:

1 THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conserva- tive).

2 THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig).

3 THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church).

4 THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal).

5 BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGA- ZINE (Tory).

The present critical state of European affairs will render these publications unusu- ally interesting during the forthcoming year. They will occupy a middle ground between the hastily written news-items, crude speca- lations, and flying ramours of the daily Jour- nal, and the ponderous Tome of the future historian, written after the living interest and excitement of the great political events of the time shall have passed away. It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only really intelligible and reliable history ef current events, and as such, in addition to their well-established literary, scientific, and theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading public.
