Here is a series ot stories by writers of
acknowledged ability. No other paper has
ever presented such a series. They wilt
probably run through nearly half a year,
and will be accompanied and followed by
other shorter stories ot equal merit. Th

best that money and industry can command
shall be given.
Immense JLdition. - Ihe circulation ot
the "Newspaper" ha3 increased within th
last few weeks more rapidly than ever be
fore ; and that it may not lose its character
of a news paper, by going to press a long
time before its date, we have procured two
Mammoth printing machines, capable each,
of twenty thousand impressions per hour.
For the last two months we have been
busiiy employed in getting them ready for
use, and expect to have them ready for tho
next number of the "Newspaper." With
our new presses we are also making prepa
rations lor a suit of new type, with which
we hope to make the "Newspaper" in ap
pearanco all that wo labor to have it in sub

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE.
Greatly increased in size, and improved
in elegance and merit. Edited by Mrs.
Ann S. Stephens, and Charles J. Peter
son. The great increase in the circulation
of this Magazine for 1852, has determined
the publishers to spare no expense for the
ensuing year, in order still further to in
crease its list. Ho will therefore, add
greatly to the number of pages, without, as
other Magazines have done, decreasing the
quantity or elegance of the embellishments.
The price, too, will remain u dollar less
than its co temporaries. As the postage
also, is less, he looks for 100,000 Subscribers
in 1S52.

years, this magazine has been confessedly
the best in the country for Ladies. It has
published more brilliant tales and novels in
that period, than all its cotemporarlcs to
gether. During 1853, it will bo better
than ever. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the best
romance writer in America : the author of"
