Lie IroprletOrs OF the SATURDAY ErensNl
Post-'tbe oldest and best Of the Weeklies''-
have the pleasure to announce to the reading
public, that they have made IN ezelxsipe en-
gagement with an Author whose poverfof
stories have of late attracted great attention:
and that they will open the year Of 1860 with
a novelet, seyitten expressly for The Post, called
The EARL'S DAUGHTER. =.
By the Awthor Of ''The Red Court Farm"
':"he Rock," the Hester Uol7ixelr' Sfo,;e,.
t'7he .Si1 Gray Porder.," Tie Diamond Brace
let,'' &C., SC.
In this story, written expressly for Tie
Post, this powerful writer's genius has had full
scope afforded it; snd We are able to state
having read it in manuscript, for it u already
in hand-that it will make i scnsstiou, unless
we are greatly mistaken, as one o. the most
powerful and interesting stories ever published.
10 enable those unacquainted with Tie Post
to judge Of the richness and variety Of its gen
eral contents, we may state that during the
past year we have published novelets, stories,
poems, essays, &C., from the pens Of the fol-
lowing gifted writer's: ..fr-

its ample space to the NEWS of the WEEK,
