Its original domes tic stories have acquired for it a wide popu larity, and, as a vehicle of the earliest news, it possesses a worth not exceeded by any other paper of its character in the United States.

Of the Knickerbocker Maga zine, edited by Lewis Oaylord Clark, it is unnecessary to speak. For twenty years it has been the most genial, humorous, and spicy 'monthly' in the world; and the pros ent volume will be better than any which preceded it. 1 he Homo Journal, edited by Geo. P.

No other paper ha ever presented such a series. They will probably run through nearly half a year, and will bo accompanied and followed by other shorter stories ol equal merit.

The circulation of tho "Newspaper" has increased v ilhui tho last few weeks more rapidly than ever be fore; and that it may not !oso its character of a news paper, by going to press a long time before its date, we have procured two Mammoth printing machines, capable eacli of twenty thousand impressions per hour.. For the last two months we have betn. busily employed in getting tlifm remly for Harper's New monthly magazine. HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAG AZINE has already reached a regular monthly issue of more than 100,000 COP IES, and is still steadily and rapidly in creasing. l'ie 1 uulishers have endeavored, by a well-directed use of the abundant re sources at their command, to render it the most attractive and most useful Magazino for popular reading in the world; and the extent to which their efforts have been successful is indicated by the fact, that it has attained a greater circulation than any similar periodical ever issued. Special eilorts wil' be made to render it still morn interesting and valuable during the coming year. In addition to the usual ample and choice selections of Foreign and Domestic Literature, an increased amount of Original Matter, by the ablest American Writers, will be hereafter furnished. The number of Pictorial Embellishments will be increased ; siill greater variety will be given to its literary contents ; its Editorial and Miscellaneous departments will be still faither enlarged ; and no labor or expense will be spared to render it in every way, and in all respects, still more worthy of the extraordinary favor with which it has boen received.
