THE CHEAPEST REPRINT FROM ENGLISH PE- RIoDIcALs, EVER OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC.
 COMPANION TO WALDIE.S LIBRARY.

@ EFOiiE the SELECT CIRCULATING LI-
 - BRARy had been long in existence, 1t was discovered that there was still some thing wanting-that many occurrences in the literary world must pass unknown, as regarded our agency, without an exten- sion of the plan. To establish a fuller medium of communication and supply the desid eratuu, the Journuf of Beiles Lettses was added; which we have reason to be- lieve has afforded general satisfactioD.-- The very liberal patronage extended to the Library induced the proprietor to give that gratuitonsly as an evidence of his grateful acknowledgements.
 More extended experience has shown other dcsiderata, which the " Companion" is intended to supply. While reading for the l" Library" large mass of material accumulates on the hands of the editor, of an interesting, entertaining, and in structive description, such as would pro perly come under the designation of .Naga- xiaiana, interspersed with the reviews from the English quarterlies. To publish eve ry thing of thls nature which we deem q e. sirable, would encroach too mneh on the columns of the s' Library" designed for books, and yet to pass them by IS constant ly subject of regret. to concentrate, therefore, the publication of books entire, reviews, lists of new works, the choicest contributions to .Magazines, 8,c &c. the s Companion to Waidie's Library'' will be offered to the patronage of the present subscribers and the public at large. It is believed that with the ss Library,' the l" Journal,'' and the :. Companion,o ,o such an acquaintance with the literature of the age may be cultivated, as 10 leave little else to be desired. Being all published from the same office, more facility offers for subscribing, and haviIg fewer people to deal with, mistakes are less liable to occur, and more readily corrected when they do. The short interval of two weeks between the publication of each number, it is thought, too, will be an advantage over monthlies and quarterlies.
 The following plan is respectfully sub- mitted
 l. The ss CoMPANIoN'' will contain the earliest possible reprints of the best mat ter in the British periodicals.
 2. It will be issued every fortnight, and the form will be the same as that of the Library-each number containing sixteen pages-thns, every six months giving thir- teen numbers, which can be bound with the Library at little or no more expense, and making better sized volume; and to those who do not take the Library itself, volume, every year, of 4l6 quarto pages. of the size of the present.
 3. The price will be three dollars for a single subscrlber-6ye dollars for two and clubs of five and upwards will be sup piled at two dollars each. To individual subscribers to the ]. Library" two dollars and fifty cents.
 4. As the work will not be commenced, unless sufficient patronage be obtained, !, no payment IS required at present, only the name sent free of postage. Those wish ing to support the publication will be pleased therefore to announce their inten- ton as early as possible, as it is intend ed to commence the work on the first of Jan uary next. On the issuing of the second number, payment will be expected, as its appearance will eyince a suficiency of patronage.
 The proprietor of the {. Select Circula- ting library fully aware from experience of the advantages to the public of the rap i'd diffusion of cheap and select literature, has been induced to add the above import. ant feature to the work, and of course leaves it optional with the present subscri- bers and others, to take ii or not.
 It is confidently believed, that, with at- tention on the part of the editor, who has already at hand the material for such a work, all the really valuable matter o1 the English literary and amusing publica- tiuns, may be comprised In this form at a rate of subscription and postage, so trifline as scarcely to he felt. 1t will form the cheapest reprint of reviews and magazines euer attempted in any country; compari- son with others il were useless here to en- ter upon, the l. Library" itself being the best test by which to judge of the differ. ence between an octave and quarto page. It will be the study of the edito, to embody a record of tie literature of the day, adapted 10 the wants of this country which can have no competitor for value ol cheapness; how far he is likely to do this hemust leave at present to the decision 0 his readers.
 Clubs of five individuals, who subscribe to the $ Library" and .sCompanions both will obtain the two for six dollars; the posiage, Ia very important consideration, to the most distant post office, on fhe tsDo will be only one doliar and ninety .fpe cents divided into seventy eight payments, and haT thaf sum for 100 miles less dis lance from Philadelphia while the same maffer, in the usual American reprint of reviews and magazines in octave form would be eighteen dollars, and the postage as three to one. " make thi. assertion advIsedly.
 0r1- Subscriptions to the ssCompanion' will be taken either with or without the ssLibrary."
