A NEW SKA STUKY.-We shall commence, in the
July number OF the Magazines, New Sea Story,
en'lled "THE SlA7ER,' which, for power Of ces-
crplion and truthful incident, We regard as one OF
tie most brilliant and effective articles We have ey-
er given 10 our readers. This story wi. run Ikro'
three numbers, and will be widely sOugh, after and
read. In addition 10 the above, we have on hand
several long stories, written By writers Of ability,
which must assist materially to render the ueXI
volume attractive and popular.

Graham has become the standard of taste in mat.
ters OF establishment, and has led the way in Cv.
cry thing really beautiful Published in the Maga-
zines. The voice OF the public press, while il pla-
ceS the wok at the HEAD OF AMERICAN LiTECATCRE,
Is unanimous in The announcement that no work
ever started in the country has been so el, glnl!y
enlhellished Or has so rapidly increased.
OUE IEAUTFUL MEzzoTINT ENGRAvINGs.-Ii az
fords Us much satisfaction to be able to state, that
we have made arrangements with Mr.. Sarlan, the
accomplished mezzotnt engraver, whose plates
have contributed so much 10 the beauty OF the Mag
azine heretofore, by which we secure his splendid
mezzutnls for this work alone. Those beautiful
engravings will therefore, form a feature OF Gra-
HAMS Magazine, so that we shall be able TO dis
tance any thing Ike competition on this ground.
Our BEAUTIFUL FASHION PLATES, ES,-ThOFe PXquis-
e creations Of taste and skill we have engaged,
exclusively, from the publisher OF 'Le FoIet," and
all other efforts 20 get them have failed. An at
tempt has been made 20 deceive the public, by re-
engraving the old designs; but The duplicates are
so for beneath the original Paris designs sent 10
Graham, that they excite only contempt. Our ar
rangcments are complete, and We cannot be equal
ed in the beauty and correctness of this dcpat-
ment Of this Magazine.
