Second Volume, Otla November, 1858- N announcing a new volume of the Scottish Amer . ican- Jovkxai., the Proprietor begs to call atten tion to those features ot the paper wmcii nave aireauy secured for it a large share ot support, aud which ought to commend it to the patronage of a still mori numerous class of readers. The special feature of the paper is that it is a Scot tish, journal, containing notices o'-every event occur ring in Scotland that can be regarded as of the least interest to natives of the country now residing on this continent. The news ot the whole country is careiui- ly collected aud condensed, so that no event wnicn u concerns Scotchmen to kno is ever omitted from the columns of the paper. Articles relating to scottisn subjects, original and selected, are also published Irom time tn timt aiwl the more stiecial character oi iuu .Fonrnal is sustained liv literarv features of national interest in the form of tales, historical aud miscellan eous sketches, anecdotes and tioetrv While thus national in its character fo far. these special features occupy comparatively limited space in the eight large pages of which the paper consists, three-fourths of which are devoted to news and other sreneral matter calculated to be of interest to all clas ses of readers, and not to Scotchmen alone. A care fully compiled epitome of intelligence Irom England. Ireland, the continent of Europe, and all parts of the world is given in every number, with extracts from the leading articles of the British Journals on the most interesting public topics of the day. "With a view to increase the popular interest of the " Scottish American Journal," nd to add to its val ue as a family paper, arrangements have bet;n made for a series of attractive tales, founded chiefly on sub jects connected with Scottish life. The first of these stories, entitled " Clara Howard : a tale of the Cri mean War," commences with the first number of the new volume. A considerable instalment of the storv will be "iven in every number till it is completed. nnd it will form interesting rtading for the winter openings alike for old and young. It will be follow ed by a succession of other tales of equally popular character. TERMS OP SUBSCRIPTION.

Commerce Abroad. - -Last year Lord Clarendon requested those classed as junior members of .the diplomatic corps to send home reports touching the state of trade in various countries, and the result is a parliamentary document, just out, containing three reports. From these it appears that : Sardinia has a debt of 27,000,000, and that the work of tunneling. Mount Ceuis goes on successfully. Belgium within ten years has nearly doubled its foreign trade, the imports in 1857 reaching .27,160,009. The statistics from this country Take the coal trade. lu rdnced was A.500,000 tons 7,t7UUionsf, yue na j mrtort irm only 34,000 tons. The . cotton traAa has trinled durinir the last ten years. wnnl and are offerins to give up all protective ; , -. . duties if allowed to get the raw material they use free. It is stated that there is a strong and growing tendency towards free trade among the leading statesmen of Belgium, and a law on the subject, on liberal principles, has already w nnorl fnr snhmission to the Chambers. Switzerland presents marked evidences of of nrnoTPCS whinh is set down to the account political liberty and free trade. The falling off r oii0.. t.rffi whieh in former times drew awav a large portion of the population from industrial Dursuits, - . a . 1 is cited among the m;nrtP pansPS cf advancement. The present Rn:t;ch OTnnrts to Switzerland, which - -;m,tpj mostly taKe place mrou-ii x' iim-c, - o.. at J22.4UU.UUU JMore ousmess is suuu . have been done ot late years oy owuzenanu with the United States than with any other country, aud the crisis at New Fork last au tumn was consequently severely felt. In rail ways the country is behind most others, and the lines that exist are " not greatly to be admired." The total of nominal capital thus invested is about 12,000,000, of which a large proportion is foreign, the Paris Credit Mobiher being a great holder. In telegraphs there has beenmuch more progress, and the charges for ;i.tornl trfno-fs are extraordinary low, a- ti only to 2s. Gd. for one hundred words, irrespective oi uismutc. Denmark is steadily advancing in commerce, and the progress has been marked for ten years past ; and this, it is stated, has been materially assisted by the breaking down ol restrictions on trade. . ' Frankfort, among other things, contains a company which has met with singular success in preserving and compressing vegetables for naval, military, and other purposes. It was established with a capital of only 10,000, and is now doing much business with almost every nnrt. of thfi world. The first vear it made a return of 13 per cent.: the seeond, in conse quence of enlargements, it paid only 8 per cent., hut. then advanced to 15 per cent. It began y employing six work people, and has at pres- at tart i e"V i 't : -Austria occnpies a low.place in commerce, and the report states that here, to-day, in this nion of the nineteenth century, flourish in their vigor, the " guilds and trades " system of the Middle Ages. These are full of monopolies, and those restrictions are allowed to-day to fet tnr and well nisrh subDress the industry of t nonulation of 38.000,000. Russia, with her sixty millions, is described as making slow but sure progress in commerce Turkey has free trade as to the foreigner, but is strangely restrictive as to her interna transit trade- sso production or the soil or manufactures of Turkey can be transported by sea between any two towns without paying 12 percent, on being shinned, and 1 per cent, on beinor sold for consumption : wVile a3 regards the tributary provinces, an average duty of 15 per cent, is levied on goods merely passing and repassing the frontier. As the country is de void of roads, the tax on sea carriage virtally applies to the only means of cheap transpor at command ; and the mode ot collecting rev enne is described being as barbarous as ever Portugal is described as being at a low state and the emigration to iSrazil to be large and constant. There is barely sufficient com grow to supply the wants of the population, for the ' eason that, owing to the want of roads, and the impracticability or expense of transport, the farraer merely cultivates sumeient land to snp- ply his own immediate neighborhood, anything beyond that remaining a dead loss upon his hands. The Sons of Robert Barns. Liverpool, Friday, Oct. 23, 1858. Last night, Thursday, Mr T. gave a dinner party, which I enjoyed so much, as yon will believe, when I tell yon that I went to the dinner table on the arm of Col.

He spoke of h father, of his mother, of Scotland had lived in India nearly thirty years, never during that time having had a day s sickness. He talks of and sings hisXfather's songs. He sang the air which Robert Barns wrote to his moth er, a very sweet thing, and "John Anderson my Joe." I felt so anxions to send you their autographs that when I found we were to meet them, told W. we must get them. He was detained ' at the office, and had Only time to stop at book , store, where they had not snch a copy Burns as he wished to send you, and he said he I j.j . ... . , . . r I did not like to ask them to write on a piece of : oDer mere v.

(Mr Aikin's father was Robert Burns' most 'ultimate friend ; Mr A. is Col. and W ui.e Burns' most intimate friend ; and Mr A.a daughter Annie and CoJ. Bums' daughter Annie are most intimate friends.) I got np and took the book off the table, and took from the book th piece of paper, and said to Mm, "Now, if I only had their signatures, how glad I should be.
