The Pliiladclpim Oasket in coiijunction wiih the Genileman's Magazine, which has been every where pronounced to be the most readable and popula of the dny, be opened on the first day öi'J&nuary. 1842. wiih an arrny of conirilmtors secwed by tlie union of talent, of (nme, which no periodical in the country can bonst or pr tend to revile. The December number will however, bea specimen of the new volume. The volume will be opened with a new and beaumul type, the fine3twhite paper, and wirh the firs; ql n series o( embellrshmènta unsurposeed by any which have yet appeared in any Magazine. The stylö of elfiffance the beauty and finish ol these illustnfions. and the evtensjve imprövëtnents which will be (nade in its typórnpbical appeRraDce, and above all ihe tone o its li ter.tt y dcpnrtnient. by the brilünnt array of contributpra, whose nrticles have eiKiched the pages of each number. will give it a character, stcond to no Magazine in the Union. The character of the articles which shall appear in its pages, will be equally rem' ved irom a sickly sentimentality. and trom an effectntion of moralitv,but while a tiue delineation of human nature in every variety ot passion is aimed at, nothing shall be bund in iis pages to cause a blush upon tlie cheek of the most pure. The Literary Character will be suffieiently guaran teed by the reputation of both Magazines thus unitcd. for years past. Writers of the first rank have been regular contributors to their pages, and the tales and sketches published in thom have been widely copied nnd read. and the firni and independent tone of the criiicisms, upon the current literatureof the day bas been every where approved and com tiende,The list of Contributors embrnces the names of most of the principal writers in America, with a respectablenumber of English authors. In addition, the diftinguished 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 u Cmising in the Last War." have had a run, unequaled by any series publishcd in any Magazine, for years. The author promises to open the first of a new series of " Tales of the Sea," and from his known abilitiesas a depicter of sea scènes and life. much may be relied upon irom him in maintaining the popularity ol the Magazine. Papers may be expected during the volamealso from the aurhorof the well Known articles entitled "The Log of Old Ironsides." - The author of ' Syrian Letters.' will also end his powerful and graceful pen to siistain and increase he reputation of the work The valuable aid of lie author of 'Leaves from a Lawyers Port Folio' hns also been secured - and we may expect somethingstill more thiïlling from the spacious stores whicn a long life in the profesión has enabledhim to amnss. An occasional Chiü-Chat with 'Jeremy Short' and l Oliver Olrifellow' is also promised with a variety of choice articles in prose and verse. from various writers of celebrity, 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 snfely be promised the coming volume.
