and viii present a copy of it to every three-dolar
subscriber for the year 1853. 1t was engraved at
a cost of over 1000, by the late celebrated A. L.
Dick, from the original of Raphael Morghen, after
Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the largest steel-plate
engraving ever executed in this country, being
three times the size of the ordinary 50 engravings
The first impressions of this engraving are held
at Sl0 and it the intention of the artist that
none of the engravings should ever be offered for
less sum than So, being richly worth that amount.
Thus every three-doIlar subscriber will receive
the Magazine year-cheap at S3--and this
splendid engraving, richly worth So; thus get
ting for So the value of Eight dollars.
We shall commence striking off the engravings
Immediately, yet it hardly be expected that
impressions of so large plate be taken fast
they will be called for by subscribers We SHALL
therefore, furnish them in the order in which SUBJ

The Election To-Day.

1t is great boon in the Old Charter that
it enables the Council. in levying taxes, to
discriminate in favor of Improvements erect
ed by enterPrising residents, and the dwelling
house, or shop, or factory Of the laboring
man, and agains. the vacant, unused lots Of
the resident and nonresident spcculator.--
The Council may, at its discretion, take i'm
provements at only part of their value, whilst
it can tax the naked ground at its full value.
The New Charter, therefore, favors the spec
ulators and Expresses the improvers of the
city.
