LADIES' COMPANION.
'ew Volume commenced ,oih the May Number.

Il HE Ladies' Companion, established in MAY,
1854 popular and highly esteemed magazine of
General Literature and the Fine Arts; embellish-
with gorgeous and costly engravings on STEEL and
the Quarterly fashions and also with Fashiona-
BILE and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
Forte and Guitar
Since the publication of the number for Novem-
Der, the demand for the Ladies' Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed,
which was considered at the time adequate to sa-
tisfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subse-
quent calls: The publisher is more than gratfed
in stating that the whole of edition of six thou
sand, five hundred copies, was completely exhaus-
ted before the issuing of the third number of the
volume; and, consequently, he was compelled to
reprint second edition of two thousand copies,
making the circulation of the Ladies' Companion
eight thousand five hundred at the termination of
the tenth volume. In consequence of this great
and unparalleled increase of new subscribers, he
has determined to commence the new volume for
the ensuing year with thirteen thousand: hoping
that he will thus be enabled to supply all the de-
nands for the Ladies Companion, as we'll as those
disappointed in commencing with the tenth vol
ume. The proprietor feels grateful for that en-
couragement which has Geenso lavishly bestowed
to assure the readers of the Ladies' Companion,
that it is determined resolution to meet it with
corresponding libera:y to merit its continuance.
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the finest paper smoothly pressed and neatly
stitched in handsome cover.
| The Ladies' Companion contains larger guam
tity of reading than any other magazine issued in
in this country, and its subscription price is only
! three dollars year, while the great combination
of talent secured for the coming year will render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
| Splendid Steel Engrauings, prepared by Mr.. A
Dick, ornament the work-one of which accompa-
nies each number. These plates are entirely new
and are engraved at heavy expense by one of the
best arststs in America, expressly for the maya
zine. The designs selected with view of in
teresting the general reader, and enhancing the
value of the work, for its superior pictorial embe
lshments. 1t is with pride the proprietor announ-
ces that the Ladies' Companion is the only maga
| zine published, in which new and elegant stee
plates appear regularly. Those accompanying
other monthly periodicals, are generally first worr
out in ANNALS. In addition to the engravngs
mentioned, a correct plate of the @ uarterly Fash
ions for Ladies. will appear in the June, Septem
Der, December, and March numbers, Independent
of the usual establishment. 1t is the determine
tion of the proprietor, that these fashion plates
shall appear in style hitherto unknown. 1t lite
rary character will undergo no change, as it viii
remain under the charge of the same Editors a
heretofore. Articles from the pens of the mos
distinguished writers, will appear in the forthcom
ing numbers among which may be enumerated tn
