The Publisher is pleased 10 annouce that ow-
ing to the extraordinary favor with which his Mag
azne has been received by an appreciative public,
he has resolved to extend his arrangements with
the best American Authors, and has accordingly
contracted with ore Of our most p"puiar .Noref-
lists for series of Sketches illusu alive OF Lille IN
the Metropolis. entitled "FdmaiiW Places dnd Fd-
nriiiar Faces about Gotham" This feature must
prove exceedingly attractive, especially to country
readers, whose facilities for studying Clty Lie ana
Manners are somewhat limited. Each sketch will
be ga plain unyarnished tale" in which he will
snothing extenuate or aught set down in malice,
but endeavor to portray with fidelity the various
phases of a life lr Town
Since the issue of the January number, the Pub
fishers has received proposals from well known
English author, whose opportunities for obserya-
ton in the most distinguished Society in London
and vicinity are unsurpassed by any oi his cotem-
porares, and has concluded an arrangement with

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 Holdens Magazine has adopted the sys-
tenn of the Spectator of Johnson's and Addison's 5
time, and Blackwood and our own QuarterlIes oil
the present day; and though confessng himself M
debted TO 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 scorchlng ar
tcles furnished us by Blackwood within the past
few months, New York would probably be the
scene of another Literary War.. The proprietor
is con6den: that this plan must eventually be the
