VICTORIA;

THE HEIRESS OF CASTLE CLIFFE. By Cousin May Carleton, Author of "Gipsy Gower," "Sybil Campbell" "Erminio," s.La Masque," &c. The productions of this distinguished au- thoress need no eulogy. Public opinion has long since pronounced them superior to any other Novelettes published on this side of the Atlantic 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, ''Victoria," 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 to all story readers.
 The New York Mercury is sold by all news. men and periodical dealers in America. To subscribers, it is regularly mailed every Sat- urday morning, for $2 year three copies for $5; six copies for $9; eight copies for SIP, with an extra copy, free, to the getter up of the club.

A FTER an extensive practice of upwards ol A. twenty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States ; also in Great Britain, France and other foieign countries. Caveats, Specifications, Bonds, Assignments and all Pa pers or Drawings for Patents, executed on lib eral terms, and with despatch. Researches made into American or Foreign works. to test the validity or utility of Patents or Inventions and legal or other advice rendered in all matters touching the sstfne.sT Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by remitting one dollar Assio n,nents recorded at Wash ington.
 The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but through it, inventors have ad- vantages for securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentabil;ty of inventions, unsurpassed by, if not immeasurably superior to, any which can be offered them elsewhere. The Testimo- nials given below prove that none is MORE SUCC CESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE, than the subscriber and as SUCCESS IS THE ITY, he would add that he has abundant req son to believe, and can prove, that at no oth- CT office of the kind are the charges for pro- fessiOnal services so moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past has enabled him to accumulate vast collection of specifications and official decis- ions relative to Patents.
 These, besides hlS eXtenSlve 1Drafy OI leSal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Eu- rope, render him able beyond question, to of- fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents. All necessity of a journey to Washington, to procure a patent, and the usual great de- lay there, are here saved inventors.
 TESTIMONIALS.
 1T regard MT. Eddy as one of the MOST CA FABLE AND SUCCESSFUL practitioners, with whom I have had official intercourse.
 CHARLES MASON,
 Commissioner of Patents. I have no hesitation in assuring inventors that they cannot employ a person MORE COM PETENT and TRUSTWORTHY, and more capable of putting their applications In form to secure for them an early and favorable consideration at the Patent Ofice.''
 EDMUND BURKE,
 Commi ssioner ot Patents. "Mr. R. H. Eddy has made for me THIR. TEEN applications, on all but ONE of which patents have been granted. and that is NOW PENDING Such unmistakable proof of great talent and ability on his part leads me to re- commend aU inventors to apply to bim to pro- cure their patents, as they may be sure of having the most faithful attention bestowed on their cases, and at very reasonable char ges."
 During eight months. the subscriber, in the course of his large practice, made on TWICE rejected applications, SIXTEEN APPEALS, EVERY ONE of which was decided in HIS FAVOR, by the Commissioner of Patents.

THE NEW YORK MERCURY.
For the New Year.

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 (lS63) will be richer in every luxury of polite literature 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 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 Romancers, Poets, Humorists, Essayists, Story Tellers and Edi- tors, and promises to make it still greater fer 1868.
 It is the one paper for every home. Its forty columns of reading matter per week constitute an unparalleled
 Conservatory of the Entefaining. and its Novels, Miscellaneous Tales, Beauties of Verse, Gossip, Feuilletons, Broadsides of Humor, and Polished Editorials, combine to epitomize all the charms of
 WIT AND SENTIMENTi The husband reads it to his wife, the mother to her children, the lover to his sweetheart, tte soldier to his comrades, and the village SC ho ,lmaster to the circle around the stove. It is familiar to the sight of every man, wo- man and child in our country, and has regular subscribers in several countries of Europe The New York Mercury is also identified with the grandest patriotism of the age, for several members of it's brilliant Statf hold high rank in our noble army, and have made themselves as famous with the Sword as with the Pen.- The great Illustrating artist of the New York Mercury, the inimitable Darley, gives the pa- per the highest attributes of Fine Art; and yet this largest literary weekly of the day promises to surpass itself in all these respects during the New Year!
