 The productions of this distinguished au- thoress need no edfogy. Public opinion has long since pronounced them superior tor 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 itethe 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 renders. Ns4 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 $2a year three copies for $5; six copies for $9; eight copies for $12, with an extra copy, free, to the getter up of the club.

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 unwaver- ing loyalty of their two hundred thousand subscribers, and announce to them, and to all, that the New York Mercury for this year (1863) will be richer in every luxury of petite literature than ever before. It is no upstart speculation, no temporary ''sensation," but a first class literary weekly, which has been fa- miliar to the United States for quarter of Q century and while the wishy-washy mush- room prints of yesterday are cutting down their talent even while they raise their sub scription- 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 for 1863. es# ael
 It is the one paper for every home. Its forty columns of reading matter per week constitute an unparalleled

This is to certify that, about eighteen months ago, commenced using STERLING's s sAABRosIA, My hair was short, thin, and rap idly falling out. had tried many Hair Tonics, Invigorators. &c.,, without receiving any benefit. Soon after using the Ambrosia my hair ceased falling out, and commenced growing so rapidly as to astonish me. Now my hair is, thick, soft and glossy, and is five feet and four inches in nlength-whenl let down reaching to the floor. This wonderful result attribute solely to the use of STERLING's AMBRosIA, as since commenced using it have applied nothing else to my hair:
 e--sg.gy Mrs. L. A. BROWN,
 No. 439 Broadway, New York.
 We advise young persons, whose hair IS be- ginning to fall out, to take warning in time, and save their hair, by using the Am brosia. To these who have already lost their hair, the free use of the Ambrosia will surely restore it, as it has done for thousands.
 Dr. Sterling's Ambrosia is stimulating oily extract of Roots, Barks and Herbs. It will cure all diseases of the scalp, and itching of the head; entirely eradicates dandruff, pre-. vents the hair from falling out, or from turn ing prematurely gray, causing it to grow thick and long. It entirely different from all other preparations, and can be relied on, It is we'll known fact to thousands in the city of New York that this is the only article yet discovered that will cure the Disease of the Scalp and cause the Hair to grow.
