+ ARPER's NEW MONTHLY MAGA-

I'LL zine has now reached monthly edition of
over One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand
copies, and the demand for il is still increasing
with greater rapidity than ever. This unparal-
leled and unexpected success has compelled the
publishers 10 resort 10 extraordinary means for
printing the work with the requisite rapdity, and
al the same time preserving the typographical ele-
gance by which il has always been distinguished
Ii is now eAectrotyped by new process, which
makes il easy TO print any number of copies from
the same plates, without in the least imparing the
cearness and beauty of the impression. The
publishers desire TO repeat their cordial acknowl-
eagments TO the press and the public for the ex-
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts to interest and instruct the great body
OF the American people, and TO renew their as
surances that every possible effort will be made
10 increase still further the claims of their maya
zine upon public favor and support Ii will con-
tnue 10 present, at the cheapest price, the most
interesting and instructive literary matter original
and selected, domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient style, and accompanied by
the finest pictorial illustrations which lavish ex-
pcnditure OF money can command. They appeal
with confidence TO the past, as guarantee that
their promises for the future will be abundantly
fulfilled. H.. ..

TCLECTIC MAGAZINE FOR ,ss.-The

IL
IL sphere and the utility of the EcLEcTIc MAGA-
ZINE have become too well defined 10 require ex-
PLANTATION. Differing in aim from other magazines
and supplying a want which is widely and ncreas-
ingy felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton of the community, il fills place which could
be filled in no other method than by the principle
of selection which il adopts. The great reviews
and magazines of Great Britain and the Continent
through which the leading minds of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively to express them
selves, are too numerous 10 be reprinted as well
as too costly to be imported by the general reader
They contain, likewise, much, with their desirable
articles. that has but temporary local interest
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price nor time required TO peruse it, Toselect
from the whole field of journalism all that is really
valuable, both the graver dissertations and discus
sons OF the reviews. and the lighter and more
versatile contents of the magazines, is the pur-
pose of the ECLECTIC. The best parts of all are
thus secured, without the cost or ncumbrance of
the local or feeble parts Of any The main portion
Of the EcLEcTIc will continue TO be composed of
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly Of Great Britain,
will he carefully presented. A richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be furnished than the
contents of any single periodical could afford.
Embellishments of the highest order of subject
and engraving will occupy each number. Among
these will be richly engraved portraits Of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
rature, art, or craftsmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIN, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezZotint
TERNs.-The Eclectic Mdgasiae is issued on the
first OF every month, in numbers of Id large Svo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
year with title pages and indexes. Price SIS per
year, if paid strictly in Observation-Disclosures Sc.
