 A WHITE OR SACRED CAMEL,
 OF SYRIA,
 has recently been procured at great expense, and added to the Menagerie. It's kind are objects Of great veneraton by the natives where il was taken. and great danger and difficulty were in- cured in obtaining 1t.
 THE BRAZILIAN TIGER, Is the largest and most magnificent animal of the kind ever seen in this country, and so savage IS his nature that the feat of entering the cage is one ofgreat peril and thrilling interest.

They give their unique vocal and in- strumenlal entertainments, in the Me. nagerie Pavilion, before the perform ances commence in the Hippodrome, at each Exhibition.
 The WAX FIGURES of Gov. KossUTH and GEN. LOPEZ, the former in his na- tional costume as Governor of Hunga. ry,and the latter as he appeared when about to be garrotted in Havana, are rendered exceedingly interesting by the remini ,csnces attached 10 the origi. naIs.

We trust our readers will pardon the scarcity of editorial matter this week. We are again suffering from an affec- tion of the eyes. The scarcity of ed itorial matter, however, will, we think, make no difference with our patrons, for, in lieu of our crude thoughts spread upon paper, they will doubtless find something more entertaining, in the way of news items, etc, Our paper of to-day contains quite variety of news, literary and political matter, which we will endeavor to keep up each succeeding week.

PUTNAM,s MOrTHLY.

THE SUBSCRIBERS. responding to the re-
peated and urgently expressed wish Of emf
nent and judicious persons in various sections of
the country, have decided to commence, the
tyst Of January, 1853. AN ENTIRELY ORIGI-
NAL PERIODICAL, under the above title
1t 10 intended to combine the lighter character
'stics OF popular magazine with the higher and
graver qualities Of quarterly review, filling a
position hitherto unoccupied in our literature.
While attractive VARIETY for the general reader
thus obtained, there will be attempt to secure
substantial ExcELLENcE in each department
10 accomplish this intend that the work in
all lfs mechanical and business aspects shall be
such as will meet the views of our most dstin-
guished writers-euch a medium as they would
seek for in communicating with the world, and
such as may tempt some to write ablyand profita-
bly, who have not hitherto contributed to periodi-
Gals.
We intend that all articles admitted into the
work shall be literally paid for.
We believe that an ample material exists for
such work; that there s no lack either of talent
among our writer's of appreciation the part Of
the reading public; and that a properly conducted
periodical of this kind may bring to light much
true genius as yet undeveloped.
"Putnam's Monthly will be devoted to the in
terests of Literature, Science and Art-n their best
and pleasantest aspects. aafa
Entirely independent of all merely selfish in
terests, or partisan sectional leanings, in its
management, it will be open to competent writers
for free discussion of such topics deemed inn
portant and of public interest
The critical department will be wholly indepen-
dent of the publishers, and, far possible of all
personal influence or bias. Wholesome castigations
of public abuses will be allowed fair field without
ca or favor.
An elevated national tone and spirit, American
and independent, yet discriminating and just,
both to the literature and to the social condition
and prospects of both hemispheres, will be cult
waited as a leading principle of the work.
Special attention will be given to matters con-
nected with social policy, municipal regulations
pubic health and safety, and the practical econo
mics Of everyday life.
While subject needs illustration, or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
given, but 1t 10 not expected that the success of the
ments."
The following, among many others. have ex.-
pressed their hearty approval of the plan, and will
all give il their general co.operation. while nearly
