TnE ECLECTIC MAGAZINE OF FOREIGN
LITERATURE.-The January number of this
very valuable magazine is on our table. We
find it difficult to express in appropriate
terms our high appreciation OF this periodi-
cal. 1t certainly stands in the first rank, as
it regards embellishments, and literary pro-
auctions, of the monthly visitor of this or
any other country. The engravings which
adorn this number, are among the very finest
we have ever seen. "The Royal Family of
England" and Eugene Empress Of France
and ladies Of her Court" are well calculated
to make an impression favorable to the f.
cLEcTtc. Its literary department is not in
ferior to the artistic. The selections are made
with the most consumatc judgement and taste,
and present the cream Of all the foreign pc
riodicals. We cannot do our readers a bet
ter service than by recommending them to
subscribe for this work Price SIS per an
mum. Published by W. II. Bidwcll, No. 5,

REpoRTFR.- are under obligations to the
publisher for a copy of this valuable work
\ number of Bank note Reporters have pass,
cd under our review, but none Of them have
been at all satisfactory to us-indeed we have
looked upon them as humbugs. To this We
have given patient examination, and hest
tate not to say, that it is the best work OF the
kind that we have ever seen. The Bank
Note Safe Guard at the end Of the Reporter
is something now, and strikes us as being the
beet detcctor that has ever been presented IL
the public. While the country is flooded
will, counterfeit notes, good detector, one
that can be relied is very important to every
y man engaged in business. Oar conviction &c
