The volume will be opened with a new and beautnul type, ihe finestwhitenaper, and with the first of a series oi embeliishment8 unsurpassed by any whmh have yet appeared in nny Magazine. The stylo ofclegance the beauty and finish ot these illustrations, and the evtensive improvements which will be made in us typoraphical appearance. and above all the tone ol its literary department, by the brilliant array of contributors, whose anieles have enriched the pages of each number, will give it a character, second to no Magazine in the Union. The character of the articles which shall appear in its pages, will be equnlly rem ved irom a sickly sentimentality. and Irom an eflectation of moralitv,but whilea truedelineation of human nature in every varie:y ol passion is aimed at, nothing shnll be tóund in its pages to cause a bíush upon the cheek of the most pure.

Anoccasional Chit-Chat with 'Jeremy , Short' and c Oliver Oldfeliow' is also promised with a variety of choice articles in prose and verse, "rom various writers of celebrity, as contributors ' o the prominent Magazines of the country. The Editors of both Magazines continue their services under the new arrangement. iVith such an array of talent, a Magazine ofunrivalled attractions. ' may aafely be promised the coming volume.
