(THe Cashet and The Gentlemaa's Untted)

A NEW Volume, under the above title, of the
IA well established and fashionable Magazine,
! The Philadelphia Casket in conjunction with the
Gen cman's Magazine, which has been every where
pronounced the most readable and popular Of the
day, will lie opened on the First of January, is4i,
with array Of Contributors sec ured by the union
of talent and fame, which periodical in the coun-
try can boast 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
Ivy 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, and
above all, the tone of its literary department, by the
bril- liant 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 a sicky sen,i-
mentality, and from atiectation of morality but
while a true ,iuineation of human nature in every
variety Of passion is aimed at, nothing shall be
found in lis pages to cause blush upon the check
of the most pure.
The Literary character will be sufficiently guar
antecd by the reputation of both Magazines thus
united, for years past. Writer'S of the first rank
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 liteia-
ture Of the day, has been every whe 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 "Ciuizing in the last War;" have had run,
unequalled by any series publish;d in any Magazine
for years-The author promises to open the first of
new series of Talts 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.
ed during the volume, olso from the author of the
well known articles, entitled "he Log Of Old Iron
side" The author of "Sy rian Letters" will also
lend his powerful and grateful pen, to sustain and
increase The reputation Of the work.-The valuable
aid If the gu hor of "Leaves from LAWYERS Port
Folio," has also been secured, and we may expect
something still more thrilling from the capaclous
stores which long life in the profession has cna-
bled him TO amass. An occas onel Chit Chat with
Jenny Short" and "Over Oidfellow," is also
promised; with variety of choice articles in prose
aud verse, from various writers of celebrity as con-
uibu,ors 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 uniivalled aitrac.
tons, may safely be promised the coming volume.
