tents are agreeably vrried, and ench number
contains more really valuable 'reading mat
ter than is published in week in any daily
paper in the Union.--Itr mammoth dimen-
sions enable its enterprising propietorS,
Mcssrs. WOODWARD g. CLARKE, of Phila-
delphia, to re-publish in its columns, in tho
course OF year, several of the most inter.
esting new works that issue from the British
press; which cannot fail to give to it a per-
manent interest, and render it worthy of
preservation. To meet the wishes there
fore Of such Of their subscribers as desire to
have their numbers bound they have deter
mined on issuing an edition Of the Courier
in the quarto form which will render il much
more convenient Cor reading when It is
bound in u volume, and thus greatly en-
ance is value. .
