a new Volume, under tie above title, Of The
well established and fashionable Magazine, Ths
! Philadelphia Casket, in conjunction with the
I Gentlem4n'S Magazine, which has every where
Z beeh pronounced the most readable and popular
Of the day, ~iil be opened on the Fist Of yanu;..
~, l54l, with an array Of eontrlb1tors secured
by the union, oftalent and fame, which no peri.
odical in the country can boast or pretend 10 ri-
val. The Ds;smbsr number, will, however, bs
specimen Of Inc new volume. The Volume
will be opsns5 with a new and beautiful type,
the finest white paper, and with the FIRST Of a se-
ries Of embellishments UNsURPAssED BY any which
have yet appeared in any Magazine. The style
of elegance, the beauty and finish Of thess illus
tratioDs, and the extensive Improvements which
will be made in its typographical appearance,
and, above all, the tone offs literary depart
ment, by the brilliant array OF fconErbutors,N hose
articles hsye enriched the pages OF each num-
Der, will give it a character, second 10 M Jd0gG-
zine IN He Union. The character Of The aTIi-
cles which shall appear in its pages, will Be
equally removed from a siekly sentimentality,
and from an affsct4lion Of morality, but wbils
a true dsnealion Of human nature in every vaTi-
ETY. OF passion is aimed at, nothing shall be
found in its pages TO crimson tie cheek Of the
most pure.
The Literary Character will be sufficiently
guaranteed By the reputation of both Magazines
taus united. for years past. Writers Of the first
rank have been regular contributors to their pa
gss, and the tales and sketches published in them
have been widely copied and read, and the firm
and indepe ndent tone Of the criticisms upon thu
current literature Of the day, has been every
where approved and commended.
The List of Contributors embraces the names
of most Of the principal writer's in America, vita
a respectable number Of English authors.
Original articles have appeared, during the
last year, from the pens of the foIlowing:-
Professors Ingrsbam, John Frost, N
c Brooks and G F Wines; Captain Mar
ryatt, Morton. McMchael, ESQ, Hon +

In addition to this brilliant array Of names
known to fame, the distinguished services of
host of anonymous writers ofno ordinary abili-
ties, ha We given worth and character to the pa
ges Of the Magazine. The series oiwel known
nautical papers en- tied, ''Cruizins in the Last
War" have had run, unequalled by any series
published in any Magazine, for years. The au-
thor promises 10 open the first of new series Of
Tales OF the Sea, and from his known abilities
as a depictor Of sea scenes and life, much may
be relied upon from him in maintaining the pep
ulnrity of the Magazine. Papers may be ex-
Dected during the volume, also from the author
Of the well known articles entitled, "Ihe Log Of
Old Ironsde." The author of"'Syrian Letters"
will also lend his powerful! and graceful pen, to
sustain and increase the reputation Of the work.
The valuable aid of the author of''Leaves from
/ LAWYERS Port Folio" has been secured, and
We may expect something still more thrilling
rom the capacious stores which long life in
he profession has enabled him TO amass An
Chit-Chat, with "Je7emy ShOrt," and

iety of choice articles, in prose and versa fsom
