[Tlie Caskítand GvvÜm:ns Untm. A new volume under the obovë title, of the weü estnbhshcd ;ind Fashonnhle Magazine. The Ptiilarlelpli'u Ciisket in conjufiction with the Gen[lenian'8 Magazine, which has been eVe.-y where pronouncëd to bt the most readable and popuia ol the d;iy, wil be opened on the firet ti.iy ot January, 1812. with an .irray of contrihüiors seCnied by the union of taleni.ol lame, which no periódica! in the conr.try can biatt or pr lend to revde. The December number will however, be a specimen ot the new volume. The volume will be opened with a new and bcautmil type, ihe finestwhite nuper. and with the first oí a Reries ol erabellishmems unsurpassed by any wlnfh have yei appeared in any Magazine. The sty! nfelegance the beauty and finish ol these illustrations. and the evtensive improvements which will be made in its typoraphicnl appearance, and above all the tone ol its literary department, by the brilliant array of contributors, whose articles have enriched the pages of each number, will give it a chnracter, eecond to no Magazine in thd Union. The character of the article; which shall appear in its pages, will be equülly rem ved irom a sickly sentimentality, and trom an effectation of moralitv,biu whilea true delineation of human nature in every vaiiety oi passion is aimed at. nothing sh; 11 he found in iis pages to cause a bíush upon the cheek of the most pure. The Literary Character will be sufficicntly guaranteed by the reputation of hoth Magazines thus united. i'or years past. VVritcrs of the firsi rank. have been regular contributors to their pages, and the tales and sketches published in tlium have been widely copied and read, and the fimi and independent tone of the criticisms, upon the current Iüerature of the day has been every wheru approved and com Tiende, The list oí" Contributors embraces the name? oí most of the principal wriiers in America, with a respectahle number of English authors. Jn addition, the di? lingiiished services of a hosi of anonymous writers of no ordinary abilit es have given wortl and characfer to the pages ol the Magazines. The series of' well known nautical papers entitled fi Ciuising in the Last War," have had a run, unequaled by any series published in any Magazine, for years. The author promises to open the first of a new series of " Tales of the Sea," and Trom his known abilitiesas a depicter of sea scènes and life. inuch may be relied upon trom hitn in maintaining the popularity ol the Magazine. Papers may be expected during the volamealso from the authorof the well Known anieles entitled "The Log of Old Ironsides." - The anihor of ' Syrian Leiters,' will also iend his powerful and graceful pen to sustain and increase the reputation of the work The valuable aid of the author of' 'Leaves from a Lawyers Port Folio' has also heen secured - and we may expect something still more thrilling from the spacious stores whicn a long life in the profession has enabled him to amass. An occasional Chit-Chat with 'Jeremy Short' and ' Oliver Oldfellow' is also promised with a variety of choioe anieles inproseand verse, from various wriiers of celebriry, as contributors to the prominent Magazines of the country. The Editors of both Magazines continue their services under the new arrangement. Vith such an array of talent, a Magazine ofunrivalled attractions, may safely be promised the coming volume. FASHIONS AND ENGRAVINGS. In compliance witli the almost unanimous wish of our lady subscriben, we shall. the ensuing volume, furnish them with a beautiful and correct plate of Fashions. Monihly, a feature, it is believud, thatwill neitherhe unwelcome nor unpopular. These fashion pintes shnll be drawn from original lesigns from Paris and-London, and may always be depended upon as the prevailing style in l'hilalelphia and New Yotk ibr the month in which hey are issued. These however. shall in no wise nterfere with the regular and choico engravings nnd music which accompany each number of the work. The splendid Mezzotint ciigravinga from the burin of Sartain, wliich have been so justly sdmired, will be followed during the volume by several from the same hand, while the steel engravings in the best style of art from interesting ■sccies shall still enrich the Magazine. The choice--t pieces of music for the Piano and Guitar shall accompany each nnniber of the work. TIMF. OF PUBLIC ATION.

In all the principal cities. agents have been established, to whom the Magazine is forwarded, prior to the time of issuing it, so that they may be delivered to resident subscribers by the first of the month. This is nn important arrangement to distant subscrihers. who beconie tired. importúnate and eventually discontinue many work 8, in consequence of the great delay by publishers.
