A NEW Volume, under the above title, Of the
n well established and fashionable Magazine,
The Philadelphia Caskc, ia-eef Junction with the
Gen,emans Magazine, which has been every where
pronounced the most readable and popular Of the
day, will he opened on the First of January, lS4l,
with array Of Contributors secured by the union
Of talent and fame which no periodical in the coun-
try can boast or 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 its Typographical appearance, aud
above ALL the of its literary department, by the
brilliant array Of contributors, whose articles have
enriched the pages Of each number, will give it char
actcr, second TO no Magazine in the Union. The
character of the articles which shall appear in its
pages, will I've equally removed from a sckiy senti-
mentality, and from an ai1ectaon Of morality, but
while true delineaton 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 be sufficiently guar
anteed by the reputation of both Magazines thus
have been regular Contributors to their pages, and
the tales and sketches published in them have been
wild, ly copied and read, and the firm and indepen-
dent tone of the criticisms, upon the current hteia-
ture of the day, has been every whe,e approved and
commended. The list Of contributors embraces the
names of mos, of the principal writer's in America,
with respectable number of English authors.
The series of well known nautical papers, enti-
tied "Cruizing in the last War;" have had a run,
hi,
for years-The author promises 10 open the first OF
new series of Tales of the Sea, and from his known
abilities as depicer of sea scenes and life much
may be relied upon from him in maintaining the
popularity of the Magazine Papers may he expect
cd during the volume, also from the author of the
well known articles, entitled "Ihe Log of Old Iron
side" The author of "Syrlan Letters" will also
lend his powerful and grateful pen, to sustain and
increase the reputation Of the work.-The valuable
aid Of the auhor Of "Leaves from Lawyers Port
Folio" hos also been secured, and we may expcc,
something still more thrilling IRON the cOpac.ous
stores which long life in the profession has ena-
bled him TO amass An occasional Ch-Cha with
Jenny Short" and "O,iver Oldiellow," is also
promised; with a variety Of choice articles in prose
and verse, from various writers OF celebrity, con-
trbutors to the prominent Magazines of the coun-

an array of talent Magazine of unrivaed atIac.
tions, may safely be promised the coming volume.
