RlCHLY COLORED FASHIONS.
In compliance with the almost unanimous wish
of orr lady subscribers, we shall furnish them
with beautiful and correct plate oiFas1ions and
shall also give the style, for gentlemen, which
has been decidedly popular with both sexes, and
has rendered the work the Text Book of Fashion,

drawn from original designs from Paris and
London; and may always be depended upon as
the prevailing style III Philadelphia and scw
York iorthc month in which they are issued
These, however; shall in 10 wise interfere with
the regular and choice cngravings, and music
which accompany each number ofthe magazine;
as we shall not suffer ourselves to be surpassed in
number or beauty Of illustrations by any other
work, but shall maintain the position which we
have assumed Of leading all Others in the rich
ness, beauty, excellence, and variety ofmagazine
establishment.

In addition to the old contributors whose names
and articles have givcn a high celebrity to the
Magazine, number of new ones are added, Of
worth and note, SO that we may fairly say that

The Strength Of ANIERICAN Talent Ealis-
bet in The Work.
The distinguished services of a host ofanony-
NOUS writers Of no ordinary abilities will give
worth and character to the pages of the Maya
zine. The series Of the well known nautical pa
pcrs entitled Cruising in the Last War" and
"'rhc ReelGr of 49," have had Il run uncquallcd
by amy series published in any magazine for years.
The author promises to open Il new series Of
'E'agcs OF the sea.
and from his known abilities as Il dcpcter of sea
scenes and life, much may be relied upon from
hia III maintaining the popularity Of the maya
zinc. Papers may be expected during the vol
unc also, from the author Of the well known ar
ticlcs entitled Tie Log of Old ronsdc'', bcsid-
variety OF choice articles in prose and verse,
from various writers ofcclebrity, as Contributors
TO the prominent magazines Of the country.
Sterling Criticisms.
The critical department shall still form distinc-
tive charater OF the work, and is under the con-
troll Off gentleman Of critical acumcn and rcputc
long established and held every where second to

pcndonco.
The review ofbooks may therefore be expected
be candid and entirely free from the ininc putin

SPORTS and pASTIMES
This interesting feature of the Magazine shall
be preserved important to Young sportsmcn,
and III fact TO all young and old, who delight in
the sports of the rod and the gun. Articles in
this department shall be from acknowledged pens
and OF the very best authority.
TINE t PUBLICATION
The work will be published on the first of the
month in every quarter tho Union. The most
distant subscriber will consequently receive it on
that day, as well as those who reside in Philadel-
rha. In all the principal cities, agents have
been established, to whom The Magazine is for
wardcd, prior to the time Of issuing it, so that
they may be delivered to resident subscribers on
the first Of the month. This is an important ar
rangcment 10 distant subscribers, who become
tired, importunarc, and eventually discontinue
many works, in consequence Of the great delay
by publishers.
