T EONARD SCOTT .t CO., New York, eon1J tinun to publish llio following British Periodicals, viz: 1. The London Quarterly, (Conservative.) 2. Tiik Edinburgh Review, (Whig.) 3. Tiii: North Bjutisii Review, (Free Church.) 4. Tiie Westminster Review, (Liberal.) 5. Bi.ack wood's EoiNuunuu Magazine, (Tory.) The ureal and important events?Iteli-.'inus, 1'oliltcal, and .Military?now agitating the nations of the Ol.l WorM, give to tlic.se Publications an interest anil value they never before possessed. They occupy u middle ground between the hastily written news-it in?, crude speculations, and living rumors of the newspaper, and the ponderous Tome of the historian, written l?ng after the living interest in the facts he records shall have passed away. The progress of the War in the liasl occupies a large space in their pag? s. Every movement is closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all sliurt-coinings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from the (Jl>l.MI'A and from the liALTIC in IJlackivoodV Magazine, from two of its most popular couliibutois, give a more intelligible and reliable ae.eoiint of the movements of the great, belligerents than cuu elsewhere be found. These Periodicals ably represent the three great political parties of (/rent iirilain?Whig, Tory, und Radical,?but polities forms only one feature of their character. As Organs of the most profound writers on Science, Literature. .Morality, and Religion, they stand as they ever have i-lood, unrivalled iu the world of letters, being considered indispensable to the scholar and the professional man, while to tlio intelligent reader of every class they furnish a more correct and satisfactory record of the current literature of the, day, throughout the world, than can be possibly obtained from anv other source.

THE undersigned propose to commence, nt an early date, in the Town of Newberry, the pnblication of a Weekly newspaper, to be callcd "T11E SUU," designed for general circulation. Its columns will contain the news of the day, foreign nnd domestic: und accurate review of iho - - ...v ...umvio. ? nj iii/|)His 01 me proceedings of Congress during iis session : articles on ngiiculture, and interesting miscellaneous mutter. A portion of it will be devoted to literature, origintil and selected. It is the intention of the undersigned to make The Hun un agreeable and instructive visitor, dispelling error and ignorance, and diffusing genial and healthy influences wherever its rayB may ponetrate. It will be political, but liherul, owing no slavish or rervile allegiance to parties or politicians. It will advocate measures, not men; and will labor only for the success of principles. In a word, it will be the organ of no man or clique. It will bo American in tone and sentiment, yet repudiating nothing foreign, because it is so; believing and maintaining that the good, the wise, the honoiuble, and useful, are indigenous to no clime, nor the property of any peculiar people, bnt arc the common right of all. IU aim will be to advance, reform and improve; not to crush, depress and destroy. It wil! hold up to light and reflection, the ruthless and savage deeds and pructices of thpliines; defend pnro morals in all the social relations of life; and scont at all attempts at scribbling blackguardism. It will be progressive, but not I recklessly so. F>ntertaining fixed and decided yicws on the Sreftt questions of the day, it will vindicate the onqr, protect the rights,and defend the cause, I aftd tfae institutions of the South. | It will number in its corps of contributor* some able political and literary writers.
