HARPERS MAGAzINE.-We are indebted to Mr..
Pomeroy for the February number OF Harper. The
list of contents embraces several articles of peculiar
interest The publishers have made arrangements
with the author, by which they to receive the
monthly parts of Thackeray's new novel "Lovel the
Widower," in advance of its publication in England
and the first part appears 10 the number before
We make the following extract from the prospectus
which we find on the cover of the Magazine:
1.-The Publishers renew the assurance which they
have so often made, that Harper's Magazine will
continue to maintain the sound conservative posi-
ton which it has assumed They do not undervalue
the importance of the questions at issue between the
different sections and parties of the country. Each
of these has organs especially devoted to its advo
cacy and maintenance. The Publishers of Earper's
Magazine deem it of paramount importance that
there should be periodical which, leaving the dis
cuSsion of these veXed questions to their own espe
cia advocates and opponents shall inculCate those
principles and set forth those opinions only in which
wise and patriotic citizens of every section can
heartily concur. Their Magazine will be- as hereto
fore the organ of no party in politics sect in re
gion but National work, drawing materials and
welcoming contributions from every quarter. The
Contributors whose papers appear in its pages, resi-
ding in every section of the country have of course
different personal opinions upon the exciting ques
tons of the day. What these private views are,
or how they are expressed beyond the pages of the
Magazine the Publishers think it out of their pro-
vince to inquire; but they will exercise the most
watchful care that nothing shall find place in any
department of the Magazine which shall render it an
unwelcome visitor any household"

We take pleasure in assuring those who take an
interest in the Standard that its subscription list
increasing more rapidly at this time than at any
former period. In other respects also the establish
ment is in fourishing and prosperous condition.
sY@ The press of the State of both parties seems
to approve of the determination at which Gov Ellis
has arrived of not converting the Legislature this
time. The Washington Dispatch says:
''Some of our contemporaries have been urging
Gov Ellis to call an extra session of the Legislature
and some of the people have backed the CALL but
the Governor is imperturbable He no doubt has
his eyes and ears open but he moves in such mat
tiers at the nod of the masses. He is right There
is wisdom in waiting in a grave matter of this kind
when people at their wits end. What is neces-
sary to be done now, ought to have been done be-
fore now, and it may be DONE if ever twelve months
hence as well-nay, great deal better no doubt"
