of the forty-second volume of the Knickerbocker
Magazine.
Since the price of subscription has been reduced
from hve to three dollars year, the circulation Of
the knckerbocker has been increased nearly four
TO one In many places ten are sold where there
was but one before and through the year it has
been steadily increasing. II is now offered as
cheap as any of the Magazines all things consider
ed. Instead of making new and prodigious pro-
misses, we submit few extracts from notices Of
late numbers, which we might extend to a number
Of pages.
"Those familiar with the Editors monthly Cos
sipwith his readers have doubtless with ourselves
admired the perennial source Of its pleasant wit
and joyousness. In this number The Gossip
holds ON its waylke some fair rivulet gancing and
dancing in the sunshine of May morning. We
used TO wonder how Mr.. Clark held out, expecting
he must certainly snow brown in the coming
number but this number gives no sign of exhaus-
ton."-NattonaI InteLi gencer, WASHINGTON
The best talent in the country will be enlisted
and no expense or effort spared, to make the
knckerbocker more than ever deserving Of the
first position among our original American Maya
zines.

nUTNAMs MONTHIY.-On the first J

DUTNAMS MONTHLY.-On the first of
IL July was commenced the second volume of
Putnams Monthly Itssuccess remarkable among
literary undertakings, proves the genuineness Of
the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, and the manner in which its 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
success of which the publishers are proud
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor They still believe, as they said al
the commencement of the undertaking. that "a
popular magazine must amuse, interest, and in
struct." They have still undated "faith in the
oppulence OF our own native resources" and they
appeal to the experience of the last six months to
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete, and may be
had neatly bound in cloth, price So 90.
The first edition of the June number consists of
thirty-ive thousand copies--a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or in.
Europe.
TERMS: 50 per annum; or 25 cents number.

The present volume Of the western section will

the volume OF the eastern section will represent

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

The success he has achieved in bringing about
a speedy settlement Of old claims placed in his

With view to the cheap circulation Of the laws OF Con-
gress and the debates contributing to the true
ton thereof and to make free the Communication between
the representative and constituent bodies: m
BE resolved by the Senate and House Of Representdtipes
Of the United States Of A,nerca Congress assembled That
from and after the present session Of Congress- Con-
gressona Globe and Appendix which contains the laws
and the debates thereon shall pass through the mails
long the shall published by order of Con-
gress: PROVIDED That nothing herein shall be construed
to authorize the circulation of the Daily Globe free Of
postage. Approved, August 0, 1852
AS sell the DAILY GLOBE at half the price Of
similar publications., so the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX is sold for half the cost of SO much
composition, press-work, and paper. This / can
afford to do, inasmuch as the subscription of Con-
gress almost covers the cost of composition and
this enables me to sell for little more than The cost
OF press-work and paper. 1t requires the sale Of
about 5000 copies to reimburse expenses. If 500
only were sold, the cost of each copy would be
about Sl04! The debates in the English Para-
ment cost about eieUen times much as charge
subscribers for the debates in Congress, equal in
quantity, and as well reported and printed.
The next session of Congress will be long
one; and il is believed the Congressional Globe
for il will reach 1000 royal quarto pages as the last
long session made 3,S42; and the long one before
that made 1901 royal quarto pages-four large
volumes each session. IL subscribers will be care
ful to file all the numbers received by Them will
supply any that may miscarry in the mails. This
work increases in value as IT grows old The
first seventeen volumes will now command three
times, and some of the subsequent ones ttcice,
their original subscription price.
The subscription price for the Congressional
Globe Including the Appendix and the laws) is
six dollars.
Complete indexes will be made out and for
wardedto subscribers after the session ended
Subscribers for the Daily should have their
money here by the 9Th, and for the Congressional
Globe by the 18th of December The money must
accompany an order for either the Daily or the
Congressional Globe. Bank notes current where
subscriber resides will be received at par.
