Notices.

in all respects, with superb new head
ing, new type and dress throughout, and
will be printed upon the finest paper.
As the proprietor of the Pictorial has
purchased the entire goodwill of Bar
NUNS New York ILLUSTRATED NEws,
and has merged that journal in the
Pictorial, the public will reap the advan-
tage Of this concentration of the strength
of the two papers upon one, both in the
artistic and literary departments. The
same brilliant host of contributors and
artists will be engaged on Gleason's
Pictorial as heretofore, and large addi-
ton is also made to the corps, both in
talent and number. The most liberal
arrangements have been completed, and
such as will enable the proprietor to
produce by fa: the finest illustrated
journal yet published, and much superior
to the present issue of the paper. The
columns of the Pictorial will constantly
be beautifed by all that can please and
instruct in art and nature, and its literary
department will fully sustain the high
reputation it has so long enjoyed.
The pages of Gleason's Pictorial will
contain views of every populous city in
the known world, of all buildings of note
in the eastern or western hemisphere
of all the principal ships and steamers
Of the navy and merchant service, with
fine and accurate portraits of every noted
character in the world, both male and
female. Sketches of beautiful scenery,
taken from life, will also be given, with
numerous specimens from the animal
kingdom, the birds Of the air, and the
fish of the sea, and will present in its
mechanical execution an elegant speci-
men Of art. 1t will contain fifteen hun
dred and sixty-four square inches, giving
a great amount of reading matter and
illustrations-and forming a mammoth
weekly paper of sixteen octave pages !;
So per annum published by F. Gleason,
corner ofTremont and Bromfeld Streets,
Boston, Mass.
Arrangements have been made by
which the Home Journal (Which is So
a year) and the N. Y. Musical World
and Times (which is So year) will
both be furnished for three dollars, to
all who subscribe or renew their sub
scriptions before the first day of January,
1854. These papers are leading jour-
nails of their kind. The Home Journal
is so we'll known that any description of
it would be superAuous. It is enough
to say, that, in addition to the articles
of its editors Morris & Willis), it is
enriched by the contributions of many
of tho most brilliant pens now at work
on either side of the Atlantic. 1t is, in
brief, a superior family newspaper. The
Musical World and Times give over two
hundred pages Of choice, new music,
annually, which would cost at the stores
some thirty dollars; and the editor
Richard Storrs Willis, furnishes the
best possible musical instruction and
criticisms on music and musicians. I'll
also gives vast amount of useful and
interesting musical information, furnish
ed by Lowell Mason, Thos. Hastings,
Root, Bradbury and others, just what
teachers, scholars, clergymen, choristers,
orgsnists and singers need; while Fanny
Fern contributes one of her best original
articles every week. Both papers con-
tanning all this literature, music, amuse-
ment and instruction, are furnished for
the small sum of three dollars. Address
either Morris & Willis, publishers of the
Home Journal or, Dyer & Willis,
publishers of the Musical World and
Times, New York.
PuTNAM's MONTHLY, for December,
completes the second volume, and first
year of its existence. No reading man
can well afford to be without this valua-
BILE addition and exponent of American
literature. New attraction will be added
to the forthcoming numbers. A new
