The Publisher is pleased to annouce that ow-
ing td the extraordinary favor with which his Mag.
azine has been received by appreciatiye public,
| he has resolved TO extend his arrangements with
the best American Authors, and has accordingly
contracted with ore of our most popular .Nouei'
lists for series of Sketches illusti alive OF Life in
the Metropolis, entitled "Fam,iidr Places and Fa-
miiiar Faces about Gotham" This feature must
prove exceedingly attractive, especially to country
readers whose facilities for studying City Lille and
Manners are somewhat limited. Each sketch will
be ga plain unvarnished tale," in which he will
"nothng extenuate or aught set down in malice" "
but endeavor to portray with fidelity the various
phases of life in Town.

poraries, and has concluded an arrangement with
him by which the pages of Holden's Dollar Maga-
zine will be monthly enriched by full detail of all

ings OF the literary world would do well to exam
inc this department. Casting aside the old plan Of
depending solely on names for success, the Pub
Usher of Holden's Magazine has adopted the sys
TEN of the Spectator of Johnson's and Addison's
time, and Blackwood and our own Quarterlies of
the present days and though confessing himself in.
debted TO some Of our first authors for their con-
trbutions to each number, he has given every ar
