{The Cflshctand Gentleman' s Untzd.'] A dow volume under the abuvo titlo. of the well established uncí Fashonable Magazine. The Philadelpfiia Casket in conjunction with the Geniloinan's Magazine, which has boen every where pronounced tü be the most readable md popuia of the day, wil' be opened on the first day of Jan - uary, 1812. with ;.n árrny of comribuiors secured by tlie union of talent,'' (ame, which no periódica! in the country eau bonst or pr tend to revue. The December number will howcver. bea specimen of the new volume. The volume wil! be opened with a new and bcautuu! type, ihe fincstwhitenuper, and with the first pf a series of embellishmems unsurpasped by any which have vet nppëafed in any Magazine; The style of elegance the beauty and finish of these illustrations. and the evtensive improvements which will be made in its typoraphical appearance. and above all the tone of its literary department, by the brilliant array of contributors, whose articles have enriched the pages of each number. will give it a cliaracter, second to no Magazine in the Union. The charactcr of the articles which shall appear in its pages, will be cqually remrved trom a sickly sentimentality, and lrom an eifectation of mornlitv,liut while a true delineation of human nature in every variety ot passion is aimed at, nothing shiill be found in its pages to cause .1 bhish upon the cheek of the most pure. The Literary Character will be sufficiently guarantced by the repuiation of both Magazines thus united. for years past. Writers of the first rank have boen regular contributors to their pages, and the tales and sketches published in them have been widely copied and reaa. and tlie firm and independent tone of the criticisms, upon the current literature of the day has been every where approved and com diende, The list of Contributors embraces the names of most of the principal writers in America, with a rcspectable number of English authors. In addition, the diptinguished services of a host of anonymous writers of no ordinary abilit esnave given worth and characier to the pages of the Magazines. The series of well known nautical papers entitled " Ciuising in the Last War," have had a run, unequaled by any series published in any Magazine, for years. The auihor promises to open the flrst of a new series of " Tales of the Sea," and from his known abilitiesas a depicter of sea scènes and life. mueh may be relied upon from him in maintaining the popularity of the Magazine. Papers may be expected during the volume also from the authorof the well known anieles entitled "The Log of Old Ironsides."- The author of ' Syrian Letters.' will also iend his powerful and graceful pen to sustain and increr.se the reputation of the work The valuable aid of the author of 'Leaves from a Lawyers Port Folio' has also been secured - and we niay expect somethingstill more thrilling irom the spacious stores which a long life in the profession has enabled him to amass. Anoccasional Chit-Chat with 'Jeremy Short' and Oliver Oldfellow' is also promised with a variety of choice anieles inproseand verse, from various writers of celebrity, as contributor to theprqminent Magazines of the country. The Editors of both Magazines continue their services under the new arrangement. tVith such an array of talent, a Magnzine ofunrivallcd attractions. may safely be promised the coming volume FASHIONS AND ENGRAVINGS. In comphance with the alsiost unanimous wish oí our lady subscribers, we shall. the ensuing volume, furnish thfrn with a beautiful and correct plate of Fashions, Monthly. a feature, it is believed, thatwill neitherbe unwelcome nor unpopular These iashion plates shall be drawn from original designs from Paris and London, and may altvays be depended upon as the prevailing style in Philadelphia and New York for the month in which they are issued. These however, shall in no wise ínterfere with the regular and choice encravings and music which accompany each number of the work. The splendid Mezzotint engravings from the burin of Sartain, which have been so justly sdmired, will be followed during the volume by several irom the same hand. while the steel engravings in the best style of art from interesting scènes shall still enrich the Magazine. The choicet pieces of music for the Piano and Guitar shall accompany each number of thejvork.TIME OF PUBLICATION. The work will be published on the first of the month in every quarter of the Union. The most distant subscriber will consequently raceive it on that day, as well as those who reside in Philadelphia. In all the principal cities. agents have been estabhshed. to whom the Magazine is forwarded prior to the time of issuing it. so that they may be dehvered to resident subscribers by the first of the month. This is an important arrangement to distant subscribers, who become tired. importúnate and eventually discontinue many works. in consequence of the grent delay by publishers.
