Jul zine has now reached monthly edition of

gance by which it has always been distinguished.

edgments to the press and the public for the ex-
traordinary favor which has thus far attended

to increase still further the claims Of their maya
zine upon public favor and support. 1t will con-
tinue TO present, at the cheapest price, the most
interesting and Instructive literary matter original

been steadily increasing. II is now offered as
ed Instead of making new and prodigious pro-
misses, we submit few extracts from notices of
late numbers, which we might extend to number
of pages.
'sThose familiar with the Editors monthly Cos
sip with his readers, have doubtless, with ourselves,
admired the perennial source of its pleasant wit
and joyousness. In this number The Gossip
holds its way like some fair rivulet gancing and
dancing in the sunshine Of May morning. We

he must certainly snow brown in the coming

MAGAZINE FOR ,sa.-The


IL 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 want which is widely and increas-
ngy felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton of the community, il fills place which could
be filled 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, to express them
selves are too numerous to 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 temporary local interest,
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price nor time required to peruse it, 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 to be composed of
the great and eloquent articles Of the reviews;
while everything valuable brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly Of Great Britain,
will 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
nature, art, or craftsmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr., SARTArN, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint
