in our paper to-day, worthy the attention Of
the reader.
5No. G. SAKE, the great Wit and Poet,
being thoroughly informed of the character
of the New Institution, thus remarks concer-
ming it:
"The reader who is lover of Literature
or Art, will consult his interest by looking al
the advertisement of the Cosmopolitan Art
and Literature Association" We venture
to say that no similar or equally useful pro-
ject for the distribution of the products o.
Literature end Art was ever devised in this
country. The difference between this ant
every other plan that we have yet seen i:
this. The subscriber gets the full ualolc ofhi
money at the start, with chance for higl
premium besides. One word more. W.
personally know Mr.. Derby, the Actuary
and can assure the public that he is a mai
ofintegrity and enterprise, is associated will

Compromise was altogether unasked, and
referred TO the recent elections as an evil

member of the present Congress was elect

have a majority in the House. A popular
feeling exists against the appointment of
soule, Belmont and Owen, which think

one member who spoke to-day, except Witte
