THE Ladies Companion, established in Nav.
ls34--a popular and highly esteemed magazine If
General Literature and the Fine Arts: embelish
with gorgeous and costly engravmgs 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 Nav.
the demand for the Ladies' Companion has been
Unprecedented and beyond the most saDguine
anticipatons. At the commencement of the vol
ulne an additional number OF copies were printed
which was considered at the time adequate to sa-
tsty all the orders which might be received, and
leave considerable number on hand Tor subSe-
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratiEed
IN stating that the whole of an edition of SIX thou
sand tve hundred copies, was completely exhaus-
ted before the issuing of the third number of tie
volume; and, consequently, he 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 10 commence the new volume for
the ensuing year with thirteen thousand boniug
that he will thus be enabled to supply all the de-
mands for the Ladies' Companion, as well as those
disappointed IN commencing with the tenth vol
ume The proprietor feels grateful for that en-
couragement which has beenso lavishly bestowed
upon his ma gaZne, and at the same time he begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies' Companion,
that it is determined resolution TO meet it with
corresponding liberality to merit its continuance.
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the finest paper; smoothly pressed, and neatly
stitched in a handsome cover.
The Ladies Companion contains a 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.

MES each number. These plates are entirely new,
and are engraved at heavy expense by one ofthe

The Musical Department of the Ladies' Conpa-
Mon has ever commanded large share of atten-
ton, and has been looked upon with no little in
terest by its readers, and more especially the La
dies, whom the publisher is anxious to please. 1t
will continue to be subject of more than usual
care to him, and to the Professor under whose su-
pervison it is placed, to make that portion of the
magazine deserving of the countenance of every
| lover of music.

equally careful supervision will be strictly exer-
cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expendi-
lures will be literally bestowed, as it is the de-
sign of the publisher, with the aid of his contrbu-
tors and the advice of his friends to make the La
dies Companion distinguished for the beauty and
accuracy of its Typography, the variety and high
tone of its literary articles, the quality and value
OF It's music, and the unequal splendor of its pic
toral embellishments, and the accuracy of its quar-
tery fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to
use all honorable means to maintainthe superiori-
ty which the Ladies' Companion has obtained-
For five years he has steadily pursued a course of
improvement, and he latters himself that his pre-
sent facilities are such to give the work eminent
advantages over ali other publications.
From the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies' Companion embraces every department
within the range Of Beles-Let and the Fine
Arts and no exertions or expense will be deemed
too great to render the work equal to any other
extant. The fiattering and general testimonials

States, and in fact, many on the other side of the
