The following list, made up for us on the last day of the session of Congress by a friend, is incomplete, and does not include many names which were given.

"The undersigned, Members of Congress, take great pleasure in recommending De Bow's REVIEW to the People of the Southern and Western States, a work which has been edited and published in New Orleans for the last five years, by J. D. B. De Bow, and which embraces in a monthly series of numbers, the most complete and reliable facts and statistics relative to the progress and development of all the great branches of industry in the States, whether in Commerce, Agriculture, Manufactures, or Internal Improvement; as also the growth and progress of Population and Improvement; the question of Slavery in all its bearings, social and political, Slave Products, &c. The published volumes of this work constitute an invaluable library of Southern and Western Statistics, and have already become a standard authority."

NEW-ORLEANS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, May 14, 1846.
Be it Resolved, That this Chamber highly approves of the Commercial Review, a periodical established in this city by

SAMUEL J. PETERS, President.
CHARLESTON MERCANTILE LIBRARY SOCIETY, Feb. 1847.
In exercise of the power given them by the Constitution, the Board have unanimously elected as Honorary Members,
Freeman Hunt and J. D. B. De Bow, Esqrs. These gentlemen are entitled to wide and honorable distinction. The
former in originating the Merchants' Magazine, the first successful attempt of its kind in the United States, sustained and
conducted as it has been by marked ability. The latter, one of our own citizens, in the laudable spirit which prompted
the establishment of the Commercial Review of the South and West, and the masterly pen which he has wielded in elu-
cidation of the commercial interests of the South, have richly earned our most grateful acknowledgments.

A. O. ANDREWS, President.
CHARLESTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Oct. 26, 1846.

eitizen, J. D. B. De Bow, Esq., is a work well calculated to exercise a most favorable influence on the commercial inte-
rests of the South and West.

Resolved, That the zeal and talent with which it has been commenced, and the able articles which have appeared in
Its pages (as foreshadowing on the future the promises of the past,) strongly recommend the Review to the patronage of
the Southern community, and that the Chamber of Commerce of Charleston feel gratified at the opportunity of presenting
to the public this testimony in its favor.
W. B. HERIOT, Secretary.

Resolved, As the sense of the Mercantile Library Association of Cincinnati, that De Bow's Commercial Review of the

comprehensive views and practical attainments of Professor De Bow are special qualifications for conducting such a perio
dical, and that this Association very cordially recommend the Commercial Review to general favor, and the specia
