II knowledged ability of these popular Maya
zines, render long descriptions and elaborate puff
cry unnecessary. They are known and read in
every corner of our country, and are household
words In the mouths of those who pretend to iudg-
ment in Literature or taste in Art. The pens OF
our most accomplished writers, as we'll as the bu-
rims OF the abest artists enlisted to enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in engravings, in the world of
periodical literature is owing the fostering care
and lavish expense of these two prominent Anne
rican periodicals.
lHeir imtators fail al,oays in equalling them, for
want of public support, and the poor dupes who
are led to subscribe to the hastilyborn enterprises
which spring up every year to delude the public,
with promises of wind and words of sound, find
that these soe established tcorks are as yet the only
reliable sources to which they look for faith
full performance of all contracts entered into with
subscribers. -.-
The publishers of Cooley and of Graham have
determined that for 1853 they will surpess in the
cheapness, elegance and merit of their periodicals.,
all that has ever been attempted and as the works
are dlssimiar, have resolved to place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the rapidly improving periodical lite
nature of the age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature and
Art, will be found in their ample and greatly null
tiplied pages and they challenge the world TO ex-
eel or equal the forthcoming volumes either in the
beauty and cost of their adornments the merit and
amplitude ofliterary matter, in the cheapness
and accommodating terms with which they are pre-
sented to the American public.

The LAST WIFE WHIPPING CAsE-Tuesday
night about 8 O'clock, office Wheat, of the night
watch, heard considerable cutlery issuing from
house situated on an alley near the Old Market
House. Knowing chat the tenement was occu-
pied by an Irish family, and suspecting that the
inmates ware engaged in regular shindy, he
marched over to the house, and entered unbid-
den. He found two men and woman in the
room. One of the mon was seated quietly at
atable, while the other, who turned out to be the
master of the house, was engaged in the pleasant
and manly pastime of slapping and cutting the
woman. Officer Wheat speedily ended the sport
by arresting the pugnacious master of the house,
aad lodging him in the cage. Yesterday he was
brought up to the City Hall and confronted with
stern Justice--or, rather. an amiable represen-
tative of that dnme. He gave his name as Tim
othy Nowland; but was not permitted to make
any statement concerning the row. James Welsh
however, fellow countryman of Tmothy's, and
the individual who was seated at the table when
officer Wheat entered the house-was called to
the witness stand, After taking the customary
oath, he proceeded to relate all he knew about
the matter He said that while seated at the
supper table with Timothy Rowland and
his wife Ellen, Tim drank draught of water
from tin cup and then smashed the vessel over
madame Ellen's head. She screamed abound;
the watchmen rushed into the room, and in a
moment poor Tim was prisoner in their clutches.
This was about the amount of Welsh's informa-
ton; and we hope we may not subject ourselves
by publishing it tc the imputation of giving and
erparte statement. Alderman Evans held Tim to
bail in the sum of 500 to keep the peace, and
in default of security committed him to jail for
fifteen days.
