0CtFA new Prospectus or detail of the character
of the BOSTON NOTION, at the present time,
would be almost superhuous and idle were 1t not
that several interesting and valuable features have
been and are about to be added to its heretofore
valuable columns. The NOTION, ever since ii
was first ushered into exisentce, has always been
prompt in procuring, at great expense, and re-pub
fishing the most valuable Of AMERICAN AND For.
EIGN LITERATURE. The best articles OF the peri
odical press of both countries are speedily trans
erred to its immense columns. Among the num-
Der may be mentioned the North American Re-

Mrs. Sigourney, Miss Sedgwick, Miss H. F.
Gould, &C., &c.,--have appeared and will continue

ADDITIONAL FEATURES.
One or more Original Comic Engrauings--de-
signed by D. c. JOHNSTON, Esq, (the Cruickshank
| of America), expressly for the Notiop,--will ap-
pear every week in its columns. Thus at the end of
year, the subscribers to the paper will have nearly
one hundred of as comical designs as, we venture
to say, can be produced by any artist,-These
alone will be worth treble the price of subscrip
ton.
The Notion will also be frequently embeished
,oith other costly and superior Engrauings.
The cost for designing and cutting all the En-
cravings that will appear in the Notion hereafter
will be about SO 900 per year!
Arrangements have also been made, inuoluing
a rery HAIRY expense, for ORIGINAL ARTICLES
from the following distinguished AMERICAN AU.

| others.
Original articles from one or more of the gen
tlemen named, and others, will appear in each
Der of the NoTIoN, involving an expenditure
of nearly yfue thousand dollars per annum.
THREE POPULAR NOVELS are now in the
course of publication in its columns, viz:-OLD
ST. PAULS, by Ainsworth-THE POACHER, by
Narryatt--and GEORGE ST. GEORGE JULIAN,
by the Author of "Nalentine Por."
Thus the public will perceive that an additional
outlay of about $1,000, will hereafter be expended
each year by the introduction of these new fea-
lures. The proprietor fatters himself, therefore,
that it will continue to receive the same unbounded
patronage that has thus far been extended to it by
a generous public.
