The Atlantic Monthly.

The 18th rolulse of this magazine commenced
on the first Of Janvagy- Although hut six years
have elapsed since its first issue, it has becoiac
well known to the reading public, both in America
and Europe, that commtndation is unnecessary.
Corecrang this work, ar able critic says:
The thirteenth volume of this able American peri
odcal begins with the January number. Steadily
increasing in popularity, since its present Publish
ers TiekUor 4 Fields, assumed its management, it
has Row a circulation greater than THAI ever
reached by any American magazine of its class,
and numbers among its regular contributors such
names as LObSfellow, Hawthorne, Emerson, Bry-
ant, AE tssiZ. Holmes, Lowell, Harriet Bcecher
Steve, Whittier and others scarcely less eminent.
Its stereotyped volumes are Il valuable repository
of original papers on very great variety Of sub
iects, and its monthly issues have genuine fresh
ness aud fitness TO the hour. If it is gGod test,
as il certainly is. at the standing of a magazine
that it attracts and introduces new writers, the
Eanes Of Hggnson, of Gail Hamilton, and of the
iamented Winthrop are evidence enough of what
the Atlantic has thus accomplished. Nor can a
better proof be given of the popular estimation in
which it is held than the demand for publication
in separate volumes of many of the serial papers
that first appeared in its pages, such as " The Au
tocrat," "Elsie Nenner," AgasSz," Methods
of Study in Natural History" "The Minister'S
Wooing," " Life in the Open Air." Agnes of Sor-
rents," Outdoor Papers Thoreaus Excur-
sons" Whttier's 4" In War Time," and others.
AS among the chiefcst merits of the Atlantic,
also, let not forget that has honestly held and
freely declared its own opinions, en- other than lit
.erary questions, and that while it has for it.
self in literature position which no other Ameri-
can magazine has reached, it has consistently
spoken true words for Liberty and Progress. In
the present crisis through which the country is
passing, every intelligent American should know
what influences such minds as those of the contrib
utOrs to the Atlantic are exerting upon the progress
ofhpmanity."
This sterling periodical is published by Ticknor
& Fields, Boston, at S. per annum, in advance or
twenty-five cents for single numbers. We will

Abraham Hanson, Esq, has been appoint

Consul General TO the Republic of Liberia.
This is a judicious selection, and cannot fail

written by Mr.. Hanson, he thus speaks of
