We began to think, with the public, that the Westminster Review had descended to the tomb of alt the Capulets. We have just learned, however, from one of our own advertisements, that the ensuing January is to witness a recovery, if not a resurrection ; and that the Westminster, retaining its indefeasible philosophical character, is in future to live like a punctual, well-behaved, and exceedingly agree. elite citizen of the world. The Westminster Review is to be a "Book with Two Lives."

The LondonReview, edited by the Rev. J. Blanco White, will, we are informed, appear early in February. The editor, in a brief prospectus, states, that the London Review is not established, as has been surmised from his former writings, with the design either of opposing or assisting the claims of the Roman Catholics. He also asserts independence of all parties ; attaches great weight to questions of political economy ; professes religious moderation; and his determination to advocate the Interests, rea lor supposed, of no class, however powerful, in opposition to those of

the community. ,
