DROSPECTUS or A NEW VoLuMK.-The
great increase in the subscription list of the
Casket since the first of the year. warrants the
most extensive improvements on the first Of July
next-at which time new volume will be COM
menccd with increased vigor. Nothing need be
said OF the firm basis on which the Casket stands,
i being already the Oldest magazine in the county.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The Va ket is printed with a clrar and silvery
type, upon the finest white paper The illustrations
are not surpassed 10y those of any periodical at
home or abroad and beside the monthly steel en-
cravings quarterly p ate of colorcd fashions has
lately been added. The style Of these embellish.
ments is uncquaed, aud they are always accom-
panied with an appropriate sketch. No wood cuts
disgrace The work. Whatever appears in the casSet
is Of the first order of the art.
LITERARY CHARACTERS.
The literary character of the Ca,ket is well known
II Is wholly oiginil, of the highest order, and
sustained by WEITERS OF THE FIRST
RANK. Essays. Tales, Sketches, and Travels
compose its prominent prose articles while the
poetry is cqualled y that of no other magazine OF
like character. The variety for which the Ca ket
is celebrated, shall suffer no diminu,on; but on
the contrary, every exertion shall be made to in-
crease its interest.
SEVERAL ROMANCES OF ruE REVOIU-
TlON have already appear ed, and Others shall follow
in the course of the volume, presenting when finish
ed, complete picture Of the manners and his

sentimentalities, aims at true de.ineaton of
human nature in every variety of passion.

The first years publication, comprising the first
volume, containes a mass of valuable inoi mstioil,
and It will he the ol CT of the editor to make
the secord equal in oil respects, if not superior, TO
the first. The important fact is now ests lishtd be-
yond any question: that the people OF the United
States can make silk CHEAPER and BETTER than
any other nation upon earth. 1t has been proved
10y unimpeachahle testimony, tina, the entire cost
Of producing silk ready for ma kct, does not exceed
TWO DOLLARS AND TwENrY-FIyE CENTS PER
PoUND, and Its lowest value Is FuUR DOLLARS AND
FIFTY CENTS; also, that ONE ACRE of ground plant
ed in muTus mucaulis, will produce the fist ear
the trees planted, FOURTY-EIGnr rounds OF
SILK, leaving clear profit TO the producer OF ONE
HCSnREU ASD EIGHT DOLLARS! ! Ii has also been
proved thai the children and females ufuny farmers
f.mily can, with the create possible ease, produce
from fifty 10 hundred p unJs of silk every year
without any cost whatever to the expenses OF the
farm after the trees planted; and h,r fore, that
the whole amount Of silk will be so much clear in
say from S225 10 $3.50. With these facts we sub
