Various Journals. — We can only name, 



1. The Indian Review of works of Science, and Journal of Foreign 

 Science and the Arts, embracing Mineralogy, Geology, Natural His- 

 tory, Physics, &c. Edited by Frederick Corbyn, Esq. The three first 

 numbers are missing — also the 13th, and the last received is No. 18, 

 September, 1837, with an extra copy of 15. 



2. The Hawaiian Spectator. Honolulu, Oahu, Sandwich Islands, 

 No. 1. By an association of gentlemen, pp. 112. 



3. The Gardeners' Magazine, and Register of Rural and Domestic 

 Improvement. Nos. 36, 37, 38, and 39,— the latter for April, 1838.

 rapeutical Journal, by A. M. Bureaud Riofrey, M. D. Nos. 10, 11, and 

 12— the latter for February, 1838. 



The Indian Review and Hawaiian Spectator, are memorable in the 

 history of periodical literature, on account of the countries from which 

 they come, and we cannot doubt, that they are an acceptable acquisi- 

 tion to the intellectual and moral world. 



We hope hereafter to draw upon their pages to enrich our own.
