Til K "WESTERN ilOXTHLV."' The October number of this work, is just i--sued, containing, as we think, many exceptionable things. e a'so have adtnitted into our eo'umiis an ait.cle h omone ofour coerespondents, containing, or consisting of a strain of mock 'praise of the week mentioned. Whether or not, it is unexceptionable we w.Il not aver; but a it sin trios out some of the striking delects of the "Western JTonth'y"' we cive it insertion. We suppose Judge Hall would r.t condescend to notice an admonitory hint from us, belonging to the "small frv" as he is pleased to denominate Newspaper Editors. We are not frightened, however, bv such epithets. and must be permitted to express our sentiments on : i'.s. as veeU na : nc- inma V r.ssnre Judge Hall, that, however safe he may fee! i;i the supposed popularity of his work in iho -ct a feeling of dissatisfaction, is hy no means rarmv expressed, and it would no! bo sui-nrisin r it" an effort should !;e made to establish a literary periodical, which shall have higher claims to its title. Tiie Editor of the "Jlonthly," however ably he m.r.y wield a pen in the production of a tale, shows that ho is net at all opiahfled lor a literary reviewer. His crincisms are seldom, or never, either mamy, discriminating or just. There is always too much of Judge Hall, in these criticisms, especl illy if he feels himself, j 7t,'c cut. We seldom get ati hones: and candid representation of the work reviewed. How jur.i these remarks are. will be f It by hisii. who has read the Journal of Messrs. deed ami Mathcson. and the remarks in the lasi number of the "Monthly."' We hr ve here an r.tIrr w;-.nt of a diserimiuatim: judgment. It is true, thai hord, s of Fritish tourists, have come to this country, travelled through it in a mail coach, and returned tosupp'v the "London Quarterly," "Edinburgh Review," and "Flack woods rdagaritie," w;th their accustomed nutriment slandeious abuse of America; but he who can find p.odif- ! erep.ee between the writings of such tourists and 'he Journal of l'r. Feed, surely is not fit to mould the lite rature of the W st. We he.-itate not to say, that Judge Hall's critical notice, is an abusive ;. l-repre-entatlon. Even if Dr. Feed had "'-'d ou so-i.e of our j.ectilia; itles lor virulent ; territi.en, it wen! i be in exceeding had taste for a critic to gi t into a lit of wrath about it. Put this is n: the fact. It is manifest that Dr. Feed, was favourably impressed nay, delighted with his visit to America, an i lie speak- ofour government, ami institutions in a lan r si age scrupulously respectful. The few national or sectional pecuiiarities. wh;eh he mentions, ho does not misrepresent, but merely states them as novel and amusing. Now how utterly ridiculous it is to get in a pe! about this. Pr. Reed does not say a thing en this point, which Judge Hall does no: know to b. te:ir. Perhaps the Editor of the "Monthly" has too intimate a connexion wiiii some of ihe little vulgarities which are so offensive to traits-Atlantic taste; if so. We wool i rocom.iiend io him to profit by our occcasioiial hint; or. at least to keep his ,c;.iper when he sees that others are arou.-ed at wh.it they are pleased to call our rudeness. At any rate, it. ill becomes the writer of a Review, to suffer corroded feeling to prevent him from doing justice to a work, even if the author charges our country with the dime of not being quite so oh! as r-ome r inch are some h ill" do;:on centuries our sen iors. ne ..-..! itor is at .i :erty, oi course, to treat us he dors other "smalt fry," but we can not help t hat , wo tell him the ,',a.'.'i, w hen we say ho is iosingthe confidence ami popularity which he hai hitherto en loved.. Tun Mail. One of the greatest obstacles to the success of a publisher of a newspaper, is the irregularity of the mails. We frequently hear complaints of this kind from our patrons. We have, old i'e. often heard, that our subscribers in Hami!tn, Dayton, Oxford, and other places in that region, did not receive their papers until Mondav. and sometimes Tuesday morning. After some trouble, we have found the reason of dilay, and have invented a remedy. We issue so many paper? in a wee k, thai the post master of this pla-e has never been able to send them away. We have been under the necessity of sending them toJIad-i-son, every week, at our own expense. We had suppoeed ihat they could ail be regularly sent from he re. Put the Madison Post Master, not having mom to semi all away at once, has been obliged, (he siav-) to ret..i;i some of them, fi rcpeont !y for tlua ( d;-;e. This has 1 era the cam e of complaint an 1 ; j remedy it, we h.ivo procured tiro l.,igs. , atl.ed ".S'M.na'';-!, . to be rent weekly a lib; our i'i ()'!! fiiu-iiniuii . emmVV, are.! to ! e retuno-.l to us mm: diately.

EotToits: The 3 tth No. of (he oracle of ' western literature has just readied these parts; and as the Standard professes to be in favor of the advancement of ihe literature ofour countrv. it will be deemed proper to take occasional notice of this periodica!. It must lie a matter of unfeigned gratitude to every scholar in the west, that the great guardian of the literature of the ac the advocate of all religions, down to anti-religion, alius Catholicism, is issued on the right side of the Alieghiny mountains. How consoling, especially to him who is engaged in promoting the cause of l etters, to he ever and anon, just as he is ready to sit himself down in discouragement. 'now consoling, 1 say, to be served up with an exquisite dish ef "Eovi: and MesociTOF.s to be regaled with laudatory apologies lor that most useful and pious institution, the inquisition to be feasted with "critical notice."' "as fierce as a voting dove," or to be thrown into ecsfacy at ihe one thousand and first No. of "Travels ix Hot Watiiii:;.'' Another of these ( be .-ioa! productions appears, in the last No. and we are informed of a mo-t remarkable ph. -nontoncn. don't be incredulous, "trontlo reader." u is aa.-.eurtced on the authority of that most veracious peregrinator. who. by his ihn.lm ss for calorie, we sti ppose to be journeying to the smithy ol Vulcan , and we cannot doubt it. We are told, that costs he j dolbtrs more to ride from. ''ArcuVir to I'rcdi rid: i:i the .V.i7 .S'ug-e, than it docs to ride i t the .lcro-i.-,uvluli(:. Such facts as these are pricehss. an. I well worthy the high source vrliet.ee they emanate. Whose heart does not thrill with delight at such assurances, that the literature of the west is keeping pace with our political and commercial prosperity! And recollect, "gentle r cadi r," that the editor of our redoubtable pamphlet is one of our own citizens. To be sere, he is gut! of having been born on the wrong side of the Aho-hanies; but, then, you know he has told ! us, that im has condescended io adopt the west as 1 his Hep-mo'.her; and why may we not claim him i as a western man! He was born a great while ago, and we shall soon forget that he is an eastern man. He has alo told us how he feels quite sure th it his western brethren will allow him to express his tender condolence with his dear Catholic friends, 6ec. i-ee. We are delighted with the stately and dignified character of the woik before us. The writers, and especially the editor, evince a liberal range j e f thought on their various topics. A ud this is the reason, (.oabpess, that in the "; W''t.," we always have the general jdun and outline of the works reviewed presented to us, without any of the sum!! things that will creep into even the best works. To justify this eulogy, we beg leave to refer our readers to the notice of the Journal of b)rs. Reed and Mathero:-., in the last No. We might also refer to an article in a recent number, in which a most tragical affair was depicted, with appropriate grandeur and pathos. The particulars are detailed with praise-worthy minuteness, it appears, that after a certain traveler, doub:le.-s he of "hot weather," had retired , and was just tumbling into toe arms of the "sweet restorer' a terrific animal, called, in a modem language, MHSjiiitoc, burst into the room, and, with most ma lign intent, poised himself upon the very tip end of our hero's proboscis. The hero expostulates, hut the beast is inexorable. Whereupon a dire conflict ensues, ore. For further particulars of this a mi 8-ceiic, we reier io ute article. W e can giv e but a laint idea of its graphic beatify. Homer's " J2atraclt.iiiacfiii" is a mere story to it. The great advantage of a work of (his kind our readers wiil perceive. We are not compelled to move forward in the slow ploddings of the ordi nary growth of a literary character. The "Western Monthly" wiarc literature for us, and goes forward so fast, that it is as much as we can do to keep up with it. Wo cannot do justice to the work in one short article, but we intend to give hequetii notices of it, so that the readers of th Standard may know how things are getting along. .Already our editor has the reputation of firing the ablest defender of Papacy, since the days of his compeer, the Rev. Mr. Hughes. The Pone will show himself' no gentleman, if he does n -t gin him at least a gold modal era bishopric!-:. His no lice of the Journal of Messrs. Reed ami hlatht sou is worthy of all praise it giv es such a line idea of t ii o work! The striking defects of Dr. Reed aie pointed out and rebuked wiih deserved severity The most prominent fault which the editor finds is , that the Dr. had the most disgusting habit of washing himself in clean wafer! and another is like unto it he insisted on having something Io eat in bis travels. Put the most shocking of a i which the modesty of our Editor v.muhl not stifle i him to notice ho do-..? not rav a w-j;d not
