[The Cashctand Gentleman' s United.'] A new volume uruler the nbove title, of the well established nnd Fashonnble Magazine. The Philadelpna Cnsket in conjunction witJi the Genilenian's Magazine, wliich has been every whcixpronounccd to be ihe most readnble and popula of ilie day, be npened on the iirst day pi January, 1842. wnh an array of coniributüis secured by the union of talent, of' lame, which no periodical in the country can buaet or pr tend to revile. The December number wilt howover, be a specimen ot the new volume. The volume will be opened with a new and beau til ui type, ihe finestwhite paper, and witli the lirsi ui n series of ernbdhshments unsurpaascd by any which have yet appeared in any Magazine. The style ofèlegance the beauty and finish ol these Ilustrations. and the evtënsive mproveuients which will be made in its typoraphical nppenTarroe, nntí ftbove all the tone o! ts literary flepartment, ,y the hriliiant array of contributurs, whose urtieles have enriched the pages of each number. will give it a character, second to no Magazine in the Union. The eharacter of the anieles which shall appear in its pages. will be equally rem ved trom a sickly sentimentality, and irom an effectation of moralitv.bui while a tiue delineation of human nature in evcry vaiiety ot passion is aimed at. nothing' shall be Ibund in its pages to cause a bíush upon the cheek of the most pure. The Literary Character will be sufficiently guaran leed by the reputation of both Magazines thus united. for years past. Writers of ihe firsi rank have been regular contribulors to their pages, and the tales anci sketches published in thom have been widely coj)ied and rena. and the finn and independent tone of the criticisms. upon the current literature of the day has been evcry wherc approved and com 7iendc, The list of' Connibutors embraces the names of most of the principal writers in America, with a respectable number of English authors. In adilition, the diVtinguished services of a host of anonymous writers of no ordinary abilit es have given worth and character to the pages of the Magazines. The series of well known nautical papers entitled '; Ciuising in the Last War," have hnd a run, unequaled by any series publisjjed in any Magazine, for years. The aufhor proniises to open the first of a new series of ;' Tales of the Sea," and from bis known abiliiies as a depicter of sea scènes and life, much may be reliedupon trom hitn in maintaining the popularity ol the Magazine. Papers niay be expected during the volamealso froni the authorof the well unown nrticles entitled "The Log of Oíd Ironsides." - The author oí' 'Syrian Letters.' will also iend his powerful and graceful pen to sustain and increase tlie reputation oí the work. The valuable aid of :he author of' 'Leaves from a Lawyers Port Folio' ías also becn secured - and we rnay expect somethingstill more thiilling írom the spacious stores which a long life in the proiession has cnabled him o amass. An occasional Chit-Chat with 'Jeremy Short' and ; Oliver OIrifelIow' is also promised with q vuriety ofcboicearticles inproseand verse, 'rom various writers of celebrity, as contributors o the prominent Magazines of the country. The Sditors of both Magazines continue their services under the new arrangement. tVith such an aray of talent,, a Magazine ofunrivalled attractions. uay safely be promised the coming volume. FASHIONS AND ENG11AVINGS. In compliance with the ahnost unanimous wish f our lady subscriben, we shall. the ensuing olume. furnish them with a beautiful and correct late of Fashions.

Tliese however, shall in no wise nterlere with the regular and choice engravings nd music which accompany each number of the work. The splendid Mezzotiiu engravings from ie burin of Sartain, which have been so justly dmircd, will be follovved during the volume by everal rom ihe same hand. while the steel engraings in the best style of art from interesting cenes shall still enrich the Magazine.
