A variety of new features will be introduced
into the NOTION, which we feel confident will
make it highly attractive TO every class of readers.
A FARMERS DEPARTMENT will be added,
under which head we shall endeayor TO give a
valuable and seasonable collection of the best ar
lcles that appear in the leading Agricultural pa.
pers of this country and Of England, the leading
Agricultural papers of England being received at
the Office of the Notion by every steamship.
SERMONS BY A LOAFER-Under this head
we shall give, each week, humorous and satiIi-
cal discourse upon the current topics of the day,
fashionable humbugs and charlatans, and popular
tallacies of every description.
THE LITERARY DEPARTMENT will fully
maintain its present high reputation. The best
and earliest selections of TALES, RoMANcEs and
LIGHT MISCELLANEOUS READING will be given from
the English and American Magazines, viz -
Blackwood's.o "Tait's," "Frazer's,', ttDublin
University" "Bentley's,'' ssAinsworth's,'' ssThe
New Monthly'' and "The Metropolitan, y ssSouth-
ern Literary Messenger " Knickerbecker,''
democratic Review,'' ssLady's Book - sGraham's
Magazine,'' "Sargent's Magazine &c &c.
A PRICES CURRENT and THE MARKETS
will be two new features that will also be intro
duced into the NOTION. Particular care will
be taken to procure the earliest advces in refer
ence to the prices of all kinds of Grain, Provs-
ions, Produce, &C., the state of Stocks, Banks,
Money, &C., which will render our PRICES
CURRENT of great value to the Farmer, Mocha
ME and all Business classes.

for they are recognized here almost universally
az IN Great Britain. Articles from its pages have
been copied extensively in our papers, aud the Ame-
rican reprint Of Bentley has enjoyed very extern
sive circulation. But there are Thousands in this
nation of magazine and newspaper readers who
cannot afford to pay the price asked for the only
American reprint in the market; and moreover a
delay occurs in the republication alluded to, which
is far from satisfactory to the public and which our
facilities enable us to obViate.

The great revolution that is now going on in
the publishing of books, by the prompt and extra
ordinarily cheap issues of all new and valuable

great measures with the necessity or policy of pub.
fishing a newspaper in the Quarto or Octave form.
The subscriber has therefore concluded to dis
continue the quarto edition of the BOSSON NO

As weekly newspaper, it is believed that the
:" UNlTED STATES SATURDAY POSTn is
not equalled by any weekly literary paper now
existing. It contains full and well digested ac-
count OF every matter Of news up to the hour OF
printing. This is a great desideratum to those
who take only single weekly paper, and which
means less extensive than those connected with
the establishment cannot accomplish. The num-
Der of persons employed, and the steam-power
engaged in the publication of his paper, altogeth-
er surpasses that of any other of similar char
acter.
In sholt, the UNITED STATES SATURDAY
POST is considered in all respects equal, if not
superior. to any of its class, while in price it is
far cheaper. Instead of three dollars year, which
Is the price OF the two mammoth newspapers Of
New York, and the two of Boston, the subscrip-
ton of the "UNITED STATES SATURDAY
P0ST9 is only Two Dollars a wear. per
