It is with no fear of Wars effect upon their literary fortunes, that the publishers of The New York Mercury acknowledge the unwayer- ing loyalty of their two hundred thousand subscribers, and announce to them, and to all, that the New York Mercury for this year (1s63) will be richer in every luxury of polite literaturc than ever before. It is no upstart speculation, no temporary .ssensation," but first class literary weekly, which has been fa- miliar to the United States for . quarter of a century; and while the wishy-washy mush- room prints of yesterday are cutting down their talent even while they raise their sub seription- price, The New York Mercury main tains all it's great Staff of Romaneers, Poets, Humorists, Essayists, Story Tellers and Edi- tors, and promises to make it still greater for 1868.

 The productions of this distinguished au thoress need no eulogy. Public opinion has long since pronounced them superior to any other Noyelettes published on this side of the and the true test of their merit is found in the fact that they are eagerly repro duced, after their publication in the Mercury. by the English press. We may add that the new tale, 'sVictofia,' is fully equal in interest and depth of plot to either of those which have secured so large share of public appro- val, and we can earnestly recommend it tc all story readers.
