LADIES' COMPANION.
A Circulation OF 10000.
Ne,O Volume commenced with the Nor. N,

IS34-a popular and highly esteemed magazine Of
General Literature and the Fine Arts; embeLlsh
with gorgeous and costly engravings on steel, ana
the Quarterly fashions and also with Fashiona-
BILE and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
Forte, and Guitar. sf
Since the publication of the number for May,
the demand for the Ladies Companion has been
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations At the commencement Of the vol
ume additional number of copies were printed,
which was considered at the time adequate to sa-
usfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave considerable number on hand 1or subse-
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratlhed
rs statlng that the whole of an edition OF SIX thou
sand hve hundred copies, was completely exhaus-
ted before the issuing of the third number of the
volume; and, consequently, he was compelled to
Ireprlnta 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 TO commence the new volume for
the ensuing year with thirteen thousand hoping
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-
couEagement which has been 50 lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same time he begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies Companion,
that II is determined 10 meet IL Win
corresponding iberality to merit its continuance
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the finest paper; smoothly pressed, and neatly
stitched in handsome cover.
The Ladies' Companion contains larger guam
titY of reading than any other magazine issued IN
in this country, and its subscription price is only
three dollars a year, while the great combination
Of talent secured for the coming year vii render
I it unequalled by any other periodical.

MES each number. These plates are entirely new,

best arstists in America expressly for the naga-
zine The designs are selected with view of in

value of the work, for its superior pictorial enbel-
lishments It is with pride the proprietor announ-

Der, December, and March numbers, independent

! TIE Musical Department of the Ladies' Compa-
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 a subject OF more than usual
care to him, and to the Professor under whose SUI
pervison it placed, to make that portion OF the
magazine deserving of the coantenance of every
lover of music.
! Tae Work sn General OF every department an
equally careful supervision will be strictly exer
cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expeAdi-
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 aud
accuracy of its typography, the variety and high
tone of its literary articles, the quality and value
of its music and the unequal splendor of its pic,
toral embellishments, and the accuracy of its quar-
terly fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to
use all honorable means to mantainthe superiori-
ty which the Ladies' Companion has obtaned.-
For five years he has steadily pursued course of
improvement, and he flatters himself that his pre-
sent facilities 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 Belles-Lettres and the Fine
Arts and no exertions or expense will be deemed
too great to render the work equal TO any other
extant. The flatterng and general testimonials
of nearly every contemporary journal in the United
States, and in fact, many the other side of the
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable
