The Publisher is pleased TO annouce that ow-
ing to the extraordinary favor with which his Mag.
azine has been received by an appreciaive public,
he has resolved to extend bis arrangements with
the best American Authors, and has accordingly
contracted with ore Of our most popular Nouel.
ists for series o Sketches ilustl alive OF Lite in
the Metropolis, entitled "Fdn,tlidr Places and Fla.
miiiar Faces about Gotham" This feature must
prove exceedingly attractive, especially to country
readers, whose facilities for studying City Lite and
Manners are somewhat limited. Each sketch will
be ga plain unyarnished tale." in which he will
''nothing extenuate ar aught set down in malice"
but endeavor to portray with fidelity tho various
phases of life in Town ,.'.
Since the issue OF the January number the Pub
fishers has received proposals from well known
English author, whose opportunities for observa-
ton in the most distinguished Society in London

Being fortunate enough to secure the services
Of one of the most eminent critics, the department
OF X, UietcS will be made a feature seldom seen IN
any Periodical In the ,corid. Books will be i'm
partially reviewed at length. if deserving particu-
lar attention, and those desiring record of the do.
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 Addisons
time, and Backwood and our own Quarterlies of
the present day; and though confessing himself in.
debted 10 some of our first authors for their con-
tributions to each number, he has given every ar
ticle to the world anonymously. The Spectator
owed much of its success to the mystery in which
its essays were shrouded, and could the world but
know whence emanated some of the scorching ar.
ticles furnished US bv Blackwood within the past
few months. New York would probably be the
scene OF another Literary War The proprietor
is confident: that this plan must eventually be the
pan for Periodical Literature, and he only asks
from the lovers OF Good Reading an inspection Of
his Magazine. ~-' 'f.
