(THe Cdsket and The Gentlemdn's United)
A NEW Volume, under the above title, of the
n well established and fashionable Magazine,
The Philadelphia Casket in conjunction with the
Genemans Magazine, which has been every where
pronounced the most readable aud popular Of the
day, will be opened on the First Of January, ls4l,
with an array of Contributors secured by the union
of talent and fame, which no periodical in the
try can boast OF pretend to rival. The December
number will, however be a specimen of the new
volume. The Volume will be opened with new
and beautiful type the finest white paper, and with
the first of series of embellishments unsurpassed
by any which have yet appeared in any Magazine.
The style of elegance, the beauty and finish of these
illustrations, and the extensive improvements which
will be made in It's typographical appearance and
above all, the tone of its literary department, by the
brilliant array Of contributors whose articles have
enriched the pages of each number, will give il char
acler, second TO no Magazine in the Union. The
character of the articles which shall appear in its
pages, will I've equally removed from sicky senti-
mentality, and from aileotation of morality, but
while true delineation of human nature in every
variety of passion is aimed at nothing shall be
found in its pages to cause blush upon the cheek
of the most pure.
The Literary character will he sufficiently guar
anteed by the reputation of both Magazines thus
united, for years past. Writers of the first rank
have been regular Contributors to their pages, and
the tales and sketches published In them have been
widely copied and read, and the firm and indepen-
dent tone of the criticisms, upon the current litera-
ture Of the day, has been every who approved and
commended. The list Of contributors embraces the
names of most OF the principal writer's in America,
with a respectable number of English authors.
The series of well known nautical papers, enti-
tied "Cruzing in the last War;" have had run,
unequalled by any series published in any Magazine
for years.-The author promises TO open the first Of
new series of Tales of the Sea, and from h- known
abilities as a depcter of scenes and life, much
may be relied upon from him in maintaining the
popularity of the Magazine Papers may he expect
ed during the volume, also from the author of the
well known articles, entitled "The Log of Old lron-
side" The author of "SyTian Letters" will also
| lend his powerful and grateful pen, to sustain and
! increase the reputation of the wOrk.-Tbe valuable
! aid of the author Of "Leaves from Lawyers Port
/ Folio" has also been secured, aud we may expect
something still more thrilling from the capacIous
stores which long life in the profession has ena-
/ bled him TO amass. An occasional Chit-Cbat with
! "Jemmy Short" and "Ohver Odlellow," is also
promised with a variety of choice articles in prose
and verse; from various writers OF celebrity, as con-
tributors to the prominent Magazines OF the coun-
Try. The editors of both Magazines continue their
! services under the new arrangement. With such
an array Of talent Magazine OF unnvalled attrac-
tlols, may SatIy DC iIOnls'u ule CohihS Noluule'
