best Musical Paper in the world This journal
(Which has heretofore been published monthly

thenceforwarded it will be published every two

more than twice as much matter without any in
crease in price. Each number contains sixteen
quarto pages, four of which are new music con-
slstlng OF gees, hymn tuRes, chants, anthems ded-
cation and holyday pieces, and, in short, every
variety OF music adapted TO purposes of religious
worship, TO public occasions and to the home cir
Gle; all of which will be of practical character,
and such as can be sung by persons of ordinary
musical attainments. In the editorial department
OF the Repiev are engaged, lin addition to Mr..
Cady, the former editor) gentlemen Of the highest
talent and ripest musical experience, among whom
are, George F. Root, Vim. b. Bradbury Thomas
Hastings and Lowell Mason and its circle of cor
respondence, home and foreign, is complete. The
Reuiea0 will also be regular medium for the an
nouncement of new musical publications by all the
leading publishing houses in the Union. The SUBJ
scription list of this paper is larger than that
of any similar journal in the world and the new
arrangements, rendering il the cheapest as well as
lit is hoped) the most valuable paper ever pub
ished must largely increase its already unparal-
elled circulation.
Terms: One dollar per anuun1, or sic copies for
tfue dollars, always in advance.
L4- The music alone in volume would cost
over five dollars in the usual form. Besides this

only one dollar! Every one feeling a particle OF
interest in the cause ofmusic will surely subscribe.

TT HAS BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
IL of this Office 10 pay the drafts drawn and nego-
fiated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails for the amounts respectively, of their
quarterly pay. II was established to accommo-
date the contractors, and meet their necessities in
advance Of the regular and slewer process of pay
ing by the drafts warrants Of the department
and was intended only TO apply TO draft per
route from each contractor for the acIols amount
(deducting fines collections, &c,) of his quarterly
pay; but il has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as to be supposed to allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ing in the aggregate the contract pay for the quar-
ter. privilege conceded for accommodation (for
II was never anything more) has thus been made
10 embarrass materially the business Of this Office,
forced upon it the settlement of the prirate ac-
counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with qnasi sanction OF
this Office, a species OF paper currency unauthor-
ized by the laws.
II not unrequenty occurs, too, that this Office is
exposed 10 great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuneness of the signatures TO
the assignments or endorsements of the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made 10 pass before their presentation.
II is therefore deemed proper TO give this public
notice TO contractors and all concerned, that from
aad after the LIST day OF January 1854, but one
draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will
be payed, or filed for payment, in this Office. This
draft should state upon its face, thar IS the only
for the quarter and tie route both to be speci-
fed) on which ii is drawn: and the signature there
to should be attessd By the postmaster the place

The publishers take pleasure in announcing the
completion Of this, the most elaborate, compre-
hensive, and perfect Gazetteer Of the United
States that has ever issued from the press In its
preparation no considerations Of expense or labor
signed to be as perfect as possible in every de-
partment, and in all of its detail. Nor have the
successive issues Of other Gazettcers, hurried
through the press to claim tho market, tempted
the publishers to offer their book before all the
ample census (of 1850 and other material in the
hands of the editors were fully digesied and accu-
rately arranged. TIA efsss IS, .la
When the Gazetteer was first announced 500
pages, or at the most 900, were designed as the
limit of the book But so vast was the amount of
matter, accumulated through the personal labors
Of the editors and their assistants, as we'll as
through the active efforts Of several thousand
respondents in all parts of United States, the
work has swelled 10 near 1900 pages The
amount of new matter which il contains, all OF a
recent character, is very large, and in many in
stances embracing statistics and populations to
1853 This gives II an intrinsic value over every
other work Of the kind in existence. f
We therefore offer our Gazetteer confidently, as
the only complete and thoroughly reliable Gasn-
feer ofrfhe United Sfafes yet published.
AS above stated, the work Is now ready, and
will be published in December, 1859 Price to
