THE LITERARY ARRANGEMENTs for
The coming year must secure agreatim-
provement in this department ofthe Mir
ror: for while our journal will continue
to be mainly supported by Norris, Will
lis, and Fay, new engagements have
been made with Captain Marryaa, and
several other writer's of established
reputation, on both sides of the At
lantic, to give US the aid of their talents;
and enroll themselves with those who,
like DR.. Cox, have become almost iden-
tilted with our columns. These increa-
sed resources must necessarily give a
diversity to the paper; while, in orderto
promote that unity of purpose which is
so desirable in such journal, and which
can only be secured by its having one ac-
ting head, the Mirror hasnow been placed
under the immediate editorial charge of
a single person: and the proprietor is hap
py to announce that he has made per-
nanent arrangement with Mr.. G. +.
Hofmau, who has for months had charge
Of this department.
The STEEL ENGRAv1NGs now in the
course of preparation for the coming
year are such as we shall be proud to
ay before our countrymen. They COM
nemorate the romantic scenery and the
llustrious characters of our land. The
Landing at jamestown, painted by Chap
nan, will appear among the histori-
;al landscapes; and our series of Por.
rats which began with Halleck, will
'e followed by those of Bryant, Sprague,
Cooper, Irving and Verplank: making,
when finished, most valuable portrait

y, while they illustrate the genius of
stewart, Inman, Weir, and other native
rtists of whom our country is justly
