Tkm TmUlihtt ef Scott' Weekly Ttft.
The largest Family Journal io the United
States, encouraged by the very liberal pa
tronage bestowed upon his Paper for the
4at seven years, and believing that the
' -great reduction ol postage will materially
aid in extending the circulation of the fa
vorite family newspaper, has spared neither
pains nor expense to make hit popular,
journal still more worthy of public patron
age. He has just put np a new steam-power
jprintin-ress, which was manufactured to
order with an especial view to improve
the mechanical jjearance of the Paper.
IIo has contracted widi a sew firm to fur
nish a hotter atticle of paper than has here
tofore been used. It is to be manufactured
on Fourdrinier's machines expressly for
"Scott's Weekly Papr." He has decorat
ed the Paper wtih entirely new type, a new
heading, and new vignette cuts, increased
the widteof the columns, and extended the
size of the paper, it U now pronounced,
b) all who have seen it, to be the handsom
est and cheapest paper in the union. The
contents of the paper will continue to be
of the very hincst order of excellence.
Preparations hare been made which ena
ble the publisher to assure the public that it
will never be behind with important News:
and anangeineuts have been effected with
same of tke ablest story writers in the coun
try, both snale and female, for a Skbibs op

in which, however, incidents connected
with the Revolution will constitute a prom
inent theme. There arc now on hand ori-
Eiual articles from the first writers in the
inited States, several of which are illustra
ted Noiivelleties, a new feature one that
the publisher trusts will meet with the
view f the reading public The selected
articles from. foreju magazines are gener
ally the very ssxne which appear in the
New York magazines, our weekly issues
giving us great advantages in this respect.

Scott's weekly paper has reached a cir
culation unparalleled in the history of simi
lar udertakings. It owes its success to the
fact, that it presents more reading matter,
of a better quality, ia a more elegant style,
and at a cheaper rate than any other publi
cation ; and that its literary nd news con
tent have met the wants of the great mass
of the American people, by combining in
terest, instruction, and amusement to a de
gree hitherto unequalled. Every possible
effort will be made to increase its merit, in
nmoortion to its constantly increasing cir
culation and success. 1 1 is only by publish
ing a verv edition that a journal o! the size
and character of Scott's Weekly Paper can
be afforded at its extremly low price, and

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. The Publishers have endeavored,
by a well-li reeled use of the abundant re
sources at their command, to render it the
most attractive and most useful Magazine
for popular reading in the world; and the
extent to which their elTorls have been
successful U indicated by the fact, that it
has attained a greater circulation than any
five dollar a year, is a fact truly worthy
the 'Caloric' age, which is just now being
ushered in. Of the Knickerbocker Maga
zine, edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark, it is
unnecessary to speak. For twenty years
it has been the most genial, humorous, and
spicy 'monthly' in the world; and the pres
ent volume will be better than any which
preceded it. 1 he Home Journal, edited by
Geo. P. Morris and N. P. Willis, is well
known as the best family newspaper in
America; and the Musical World and Times,
edited by Richard Storrs Willi, with Low
ell Mason, Geo. H. Curtis, Thomas Has
tings, Wm. P. Bradbury, Geo. F. Root, and
other musical writers coniribulinz; and
which gives, among other things, over $23
worth of music and a full course of instruc
tion ia harmony annually, is the very best
musical journal ever published. These
three publications will post a family up in
regard to everything worth knowing: Art,
Science, Literature; music, painting, sculp
ture; inventions, discoveries; wit, humor,
fancy, sentiment; the newest fashions and
other attractions for ladies; choice new mu
sic for the Sabbath, the church, and ih?
firesides; reviews and criticisms of Musical
Works, Performers and Performances ; ia
short, the very pick and cream of Novelty,
Incident, History, Biography, Art, Litera
ture and Science ; including whatever can
be given in periodicals to promote Healthy
Amusement and Solid Instruction in the
family, and help to make it Better, Wiser,
and Happier, may be now obtained for riva . Club of 13 copies.

Here is a series of stories by writers of
acknowledged ability. No otherpaper has
ever presented such a series. They will
probably run through nearly half a year,
and will be accompanied and followed by
other shorter stories ol equal merit The
proprietors mean that no other family pa
per shall excel it in useful reading. The
best that money and industry can command
shall be given.
Immense Edition. The circulation ot
the "Newspaper" has mcreased within the
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 Ion g
time before its dale, we have procured two
Mammoth printing machines, capable each
of twenty thousand impressions per hoar.
For the last two months we have been
busily employed ia getting them ready for
use, and expect to have them teady for the
next number of the "Newspaper. With
our new presses we are also making prepa
rations lor a suit of uew type, with which
we hope to make the "Newspaper" in ap
pearance all that we labor to have it ia sub
stantial matter; and all for one dollar per
year to single subscribers, aad at the fol
lowing lower rates.

Some five or six weeks ago, we an
nounced that we would publish five first
class novelettes, written expressly for the
"Dollar Newspaper." Four we had in
hand at the time, and the fifth has since
come into our possession. The first is now
nearly half through and has everywhere
been pronounced a story of great merit.
The following is the order of publication:

Greatly increased in size, and improved
in elegance and merit. Edited by Mrs.
Ahm S. Stephens, and Cbarlis J. Prrsa
son. The great increase io the circulation
of this Magazine for 1352, has determined
the publishers to spare no expense for the
ensuing year, in order still further to in
crease its list. Ha 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 a dollar less
than its cotemporaries. As the postage
also, is less, he looks for 100,000 subscribers
in iso.
The fashions exclusively in this Maga
zine. This is now the only Magazine which
Eiublishes colored steel-plate fashions regu
arly. To each is added a full letter-press
description, giving information on all the
Latest-Styles, received direct from London
and Paris. All who wish to know the real
fashions, must take this periodical. In our
Eastern cities, it is the only authority. To
the dress-maker, milliner, etc, it is invalu
able. Most readable and original of the mags
sines. The literary department will be
entirely original, instead of being made op,
as are all the othsr magazines, of second
rate English stories. During the last two
years, this msgazine has been coclesaedly
the best in the country for Ladies.. It has
published more brilliant tales and novels in
that period, than all its cotemporaries to
gether. During 1853, it will be bettor
than ever. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the best
romance writer in America : the author of
"Dora AthertosC and otbars, will eontrib
ate exclusively for 1853. ' The domestic
atoriea for which this magaaioa is Ssanftm,
will be continued from the pens of Ella
