nUTNAMs MONTHLY-On the first of

~ -oA thC hIot VI
July was commenced the second volume OF
Putnam's Monthly. It's success, remarkable among
literary undertakings, proves the genuineness OF
The national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, and the manner in which lis pro-
mise has been fulfilled.
To have demonstrated that an original Ameri-
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support of the American Public, and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is a
success of which the publishers are proud.
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, as they said at
the commencement of the undertaking., that, "a
popular magazine must aniuse, interest, and in
strnct." They have still undated "faith in the
oppuience of our own native resources and they
appeal 10 the experience of the last six months 10
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete, and may be
had neatly bound in cloth, price 81 90.
The first edition of the June number consists of
,hiriy-five thousand copies-a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or in
Europe.
TERMS: 81 per annum; or 25 cents a number.

TIARpER,s NEW MONTHLY MAGA-

Ill zine has now reached a 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 to extraordinary means for
printing the work with the requisite rapidity, and
at the same time preserving the typographical ele-
gance by which il has always been distinguished.
1t IS now eectrOtyped by a new process, which
makes il easy TO print any number Of copies from
the same plates, without in the least impairing the
clearness and beauty Of the impression. The
publishers desire TO repeat their cordial acknowl-
%edgments 10 the press and the public for the ex-
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts 10 interest and instruct the great body
Of the American people, and to renew their as
surances that every possible effort will be made
to increase still further the claims of their maya
zine upon public favor and support. II will con-
time TO 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 accompaniedby
the finest pictorial illustrations which a lavish ex-
p%enditure of money can command. They appeal
with confidence TO the past, as 4 guarantee that
their promises for the future will be abundantly
fulfilled.

unies will be issued simultaneously, one being ex-
cluslveiy devoted 10 eastern and the other 10 wes-

th. volume OF the eastern section will represent

But IL excellence has thus been aimed at in the
engravings, the literary department also will have
every attention bestowed upon il. No expense

ECLECTIC MAGAZINE FoR ,sa.-The

Ia sphere and the utility OF the EcLEcTIc MAGA-
ZINE have become too well defined TO require ex-
PLANTATION. Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying a want which is widely and increas-
ingly felt by a more educated and intelligent por-
ton of the community, il fills n place which could
be filed in no other method than by the principle
of selection which it adopts. The great reviews
and magazines of Great Britain and the Continent,
through which the leading minds of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, 10 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 a temporary or local interest,
and which is worth 10 the American reader neither
the price nor time required 10 peruse il. To select
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 incumbrance Of
the local or feeble parts of any. The main portion
of the ECLECTIC will continue 10 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,
viii be 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.. SARTAIS, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style Of the mezZotint.
TERMs-The Ededic Mogasinc is issued on the
first OF every month, in numbers Of III large Svo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
a year, with title pages and indexes. Price SIS per

Il ventor (Dr. kidder) OF TINS economical and

the use of il will be found fully IS per cent. in ev-

that of the street, and when once adjusted, the
Regulator will continue 10 supply the gas at that
pressure uniformly, without requiring further care
or attention, and independent Of all the fuctua-
tons of the street pressure. An additional advan-
tage obtained by this Regulator is a light of a more
agreeable quality, in place Of the blush white
color of the ordinary gas light, occasioned by the
high pressure al which the gas is consumed. As
an evidence of its practical utility, it is now in OPP

stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony 10 its value. 1t has also received the
