The LITERARY. ARRANcEMENTs for
the coming year must secure a greatim-
provement in this department ofthe Mir
ror: for while our journal will continue
to be mainly supported Morris, Vii
lis, and Fay, new engagements have
been made with Captain Marrydtt, and
several other writers 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
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 ishap-
py to announce that he has made per-
manent arrangement with Mr.. C. z.
Hofmaa, who has for months had charge
ofthis department.. saaa 81 .sisdis
The STEEL ENGRAvINes now in the
course Of preparation for the coming
year are such as we shall be proud to
lay before our countrymen. They COM
memorate the romantic scenery and The
illustrious characters Of our land. The
Landing at jamestown, painted by Chap
man, will appear among the histori-
cal landscapes; and our series of Por-
traits which began with Halleck, will
be followed by those Of BRYANT, Sprague,
Cooper, Irving and Vcrplank: making,
when finished, most valuable portrait
gallery Of Americans ofliterary celebri-
ty, while they illustrate the genius of
Stewart, Inman, Weir, and other native
artists of whom our country is justly
proud. - .ot Sa
The WooD ENGRAvINGs to- which
we have ever paid our attention, as the
branch of the ait to which they belong
is one which our countrymen are rapid
Iy carrying to high degree of perfec-
ton, will assume, new Importance in
this new volume, as all win acknowl-
edge who behold the superb specimen
of Chapman's genius and Adams skill in
an early number. a
The MUSICAL DEpA ARTMENT for the
coming year, will be enriched by many
original contributions by Horn and Rus
sell, alternated with choice lnorceaux
from rare European collections, and oc-
casional selections from new unpopular
compositions, imported expressly for
the Mirror, and newly arranged in this
country. The pieces thus gwen with
every number Of the Mirror, although
they do not occupy one sixteenth. OF the
work, couldanot be purchased in any,
other shape, except alta cost far greats
er than that Of our whole annual SUBJ
scription!
We have thus, as is our usual won't,
glanced at the plan Of the MirrorAa
plan which embraces SO many sub
jects within the range of the BELIEs
LETTREs and the FINE AIRS, that it
would be tedious to- enumerate them
here; and we would rather. appealto
the testimonials of approval which our
Journal has received from the discrinli-s
mating and the tasteful on both sides of
he Atlantic, than add anything here in
ofthe claim Which The New
