ANEW NOVEL BY COOPERATIVE IS
LET'S OF THE GULF powerful Sea Story,
in the best style of the author of The Red Rover,
Water Witch sc.
We have the pleasure of being able to announce
to the 30 900 readers of Graham's Magazine, that
we commenced the publication, in the November
number of Graham's Magazine, of a new novel by
James Fennimore Co ,per entitled THE ISLETS
OF THE GULF Sea Novel, written in the
very best vein of that accomplished novelist. This
Story which Is intended to bring out the authors
brilliant covers in the description of Sea Scenes
and incidents, while il will describe most power
fully nautical adventures and engagements, has a
delightful vein of sentiment running through the
| entire work. The heroine, ROSE is one of the
sweetest characters ever drawn by Mr.. Cooper,
and of the old Salts has vein of humor and
home-spun philosophy equal to 'Natty Bumpo' in
his best days. This novel will run through IL or
IA numbers of Graham, and we predict for it a
run unequalled by any thing Cooper has ever
written.
Subscribers TO the January volume of the Mag
azine viii receive the entire sheets of The Isles
OF the Gulf, (which commences in November.-
1t is understood that the novel will make from 10
to 10 pages EXTRA, in each number of the Maga-
zine so that subscribers will receive this novel in
addition to the usual quantity of reading matter il,

Graham pursues the even tenor Of its way, proud

day-wth its 80 900 readers, gradually widening
| its influence and extending its circulation. The
policy adopted in this Magazine, of giving the bes
both in literature and art, has established it upon
the secure basis Of public confidence.
We have resolved, SO far as Graham is con-
cerned, to give proper direction to the popular
taste; and propose iu the coming volume greatly to
ampify the literary department of the work-to
engage none but the very best writers-to open a
field for young writer's of merit-and, in fine, to
cultivate National Periodical Literature, which
shall command respect at home and abroad.
FOR THE NEW VOLUME.
In addition TO the host of able writer's who have
enriched our pages by their productions, we shall
have the advantage of being able to publish some
of the most brilliant articles that have ever appear

OUR MEZZOTINT ENGRAylNGS.
II affords US much satisfaction to be able to state
that we have made arrangements with Mr.. SAR-
TAIN, the accomplished Mezzotint Engraver,
whose plates have contributed so much to the
beauty of the Magazine heretofore, by which we
secure his splendid Mezzotints for this work alone.
These beautiful engravings will, therefore, form
feature of Graham's Magazine, so that we shall be
able to distance any thing like competition on this
ground. ..
OUR BEAUTIFUL FASHION PLATES.
These exquisite creations of taste and skill we
have engaged exclusively from the publisher Of
LIE Follet, and all other efforts ta get them have
failed An attempt has been made to deceive the
public, by re-engraving the old designs; but these
duplicates are so far beneath the original Paris de-
sgns sent to 'Grabcm,' that they excite only con.
tempt. Our arrangements are complete, aud we
| cannot be equalled IN the beauty aud correctness
OF this department of the Magazine. These plates
| appear in every number. ...
