The LADIES' COMPANION, established

magazine Of General Literature and the Fine
Arts embellshed with gorgeous and costly en-
cravings on Steel, and the Quarterly Fashions;
and also with fashionable and Popular Music,
arranged for the PIANO. Forte, Harp and Guitar.
Since the publication Of the number for Mo-
vember, the demand for the Ladies' Companion
has been unprecedented and beyond the NEST
saDguine antlcipatons. Al the commencement
of the volume an additional number of copies
were printed, whloh was considered at the tune
adequate to satisfy all the orders which might be
received, and leave a considerable number on
hand for subsequent calls. The publisher is
more than grati6ed in stating that the whole of
an edition ofSIX Thousand, Five Hundred Cop
les, was completely exhausted before the issu'
ing of the third number of the volume; and,
consequently, he was compelled to re>priGt a
Second Edition of Two thousand copies, maxi
ing the circulation of the Ladies' Companion
Eight thousand FIVE hundred, AT the termination
Of the Tenth Volume.
In consequence ofthis great and unparalleled
increase of new subscribers, he has determined
to commence the new volume for the ensuing
year, with THIRTEEN THOUSAND: hop-
ing that he will thus be enabled to supply all the
additional demands for the Ladies Companion,
as well IS those disappointed in commencing
with the tenth volume. The proprietor feels
grateful for that encouragement which has been
so lavshly bestowed upon his magazine, and at
the same time he begs 10 assure the readers OF
the Ladies' Campanon. that it is his determin-
ed resolution 10 meet it with a corresponding
liberality to merit its continuance. The work

and neatly stitched in handsome cover.
The Ladies' Companion contains larger
quantity Of reading than any other magazine is
sued in this county, and its subscription price is
only three dollars year. while the great COM
| bination of talent secured for the coming year
will render it unequaed by any other periods
