IT speaks favorably, we think, for the intelh- t gence and sound national feeling of the people of this country, that Messrs Little, Brown & Co. r have been called upon to issue the sixth edition of Mr. r Webeter'a Works. We have been struck with the * justice of the opinion expressed by a distinguished 1 clergyman of Philadelphia, in a discourse on the character of Mr. Webster, that "the beat thing we can do for training our young men is to place in their hands the works of this great statesman:" f and also of t is remark upon the influence of that * recommendation. "I feel that I have rendered everv family a useful service, which may have been in- ] duced,through my recommendation, to give it a place among their household books " From a general conviction of the truth here expressed, in addition to the interest which every intelligent reader who once enters upon the perusal of Mr. Webster's speeches or writings, either from the importance of the subjects treated, the soundness and force of the vie*i expressed, or from thecharm of the style and manner of discussion, we have no doubt that these works will attain a much wider circulation and a far more general perusal, than those of any other American author. The excellent manner in which the work is published, and the reasonableness of the price, recommends it to a general circulation We learn that an idea baa been entertained, to I some extent, that the edition above referred to, edited by Mr Everett, may be hereafter superseded by another and more complete edition. This is a mistake. This edition was compiled and edited with great care during the lifetime of Mr Webster, w ith all the assistance which he could afford for rendering it complete, and no new edition can supersede it Should there be a further publica tion of correspondence or miscellanies, it will be in the form of an addition which will in no degree impair the value ol the present edition, bu would tend to increase its interest. in confirmation of this fact wc are authorized to publish the following letter from Mr. Fletcher Webster, one of the executors of the late Mr. | Webster: "Boston, January 10, 1353. "Missis. Littli, Brows &l Co.? GentUrran : I have been informed that frequent inquiries are made of you as to the completeness of your edition of Mr W ebster's works. "The present volumes, edited by Mr Everett and published by you, contain every thinir, up to March, 13o'2, which was intended to be Included in bis entire published works. "his probable that one or two volumes of correspondence may hereafter be collected and published in the same style with your six volumes This cannot be considered as definitively decided upon; but it is certain that no publication will be made which will render your edition incomplete, or in any way diminish its value. "Yours, very respectfully. "FLETCHER WEBSTER." "We have already expressed, very decidedly the opinion that the Boston Webeter Memorial, also published by Messrs Little, Brown & Co., is the most satisfactory and interesting of all the f books w hich his death has called from the press. ? Ti e subject? presented are well selected and treated with excellent taete and feeling, and ft contains the moat valuable of the tribuUs to the memory of ( thedecessed statesman."?Boston Daily Advrrtuer j "These volumes are a collection of imperishable ( models in constitutional law, jurisprudence, international law, diplomacy, finance, legislation, and literature?a collection not to ho matched by ; ( this, and hardly by any other country, in capital i J and multiform excellence. There is not a page in j these books which may not give the world assurance of a transcendent intellect; not a page which will not make posterity prouder of the land of their i fathers. These productions will be perpetuated as long as the English language endures." 1 [ .Vrtc York Courier and Enquirrr "Distinguished men have monuments erected for them by their grateful countrymen, and sometimes by the people of another nation, or by a remote posterity. Daniel Webster has taken care to build hla own, and in his lifetime The six ample I volumes of his works just published by .Messrs Little & Brown, of Boston, will constitute a more precious and durable memorial of his existence and his greatness, than die granite column, the { marble or braaen bust. "We shall not attempt to mention,nor even hint I at, the deserving* of Mr Webster, still leas to j compare him wiih other men. There is a shorter j course, which is to invite the community to weigh and value them for themselves. There are his ! works, such of them as have been collected. There they stand They thall speak for him. They want only to have reader* to create admirers." [.Vricurt Daily Adcerltttr. "In company with the writings of Washington and Franklin, they constitute a most rss-utial part of the huilory of our Republic. So lapse of time can destroy their value so long as the world hall feal in internal in knowing' how the great- | ncss of the American nation wti built up ami pre- j served, and how the genius and spirit of the peo- 1 pie in the nineteenth century were embodied and personified in one eminent individual?emphatically the Ajssrican Statissas." [ Botlnn Courier.

THE SUBSCRIBERS, responding to the repeated and urgently expressed wish of eminent and judicious persons in various sections of the country, have decided <o commence, on Ike (lr?/ o/ January, 1853.. AN ENTIRELY ORIGI NAL PERIODICAL, under the above title. It is intended to combine the lighter characteristics of a popular magazine with'the higher and zraver qualities of a quarterly review, filling a position hitherto unoccupied in our literature. While attractive variety for the general reader is thus obtained, there will bean attempt to secure lubslantial excellence in each department. To accomplish this we intend that the work in ill its mechanical and business aspects shall be >uch as will meet the views of our most distinguished writers?such a medium as they would trek for in communicating with the world, and luch as may tempt some to write ably and profitably who have not hitherto contributed to periodi:a!s. We intend that all articles admitted into the ivorlc shall be liberally paid for. We believe that an ample material exists for luch a work; that there is no lack either of talent unong our writers or of appreciation on the part of he reading public; and that a properly conducted beriodical of this kind may bring to light much ;rue genius as yet undeveloped. "Putnam's Monthly" will be devoted to the in erests of Literature, Science and Art?in their best ind pleasantest aspects. Entirely independent of all merely selfish interests, or partisan or sectional leanings, in its management, it will be open to competent writere [or free discussion of such topics as are deemed imbortant and of public interest. The critical department will be wholly independent of the publishers, and, as far as possible, of all bersonal innuenceor bias. W holesome caetigations >f public abuses will be allowed a fair field without fear or favor. An elevated national tone and spirit, American md independent, yet discriminating and just, both to the literature and to the social condition nd prospects of both hemispheres, will be culti ated as a leading principle of the work. Special attention will be given to matters conaected with social policy, municipal regulations u?I?L. . juuuu iiccliiu biiu satety, ana ine practical economies of every-day life. While a subject needs illustration, or pictorial example, such iflustrations will be occasionally given; but it is not expected that the success of the work is to depend on what are termed "embellishments." The following, among many others, have expressed their hearty approval of the plan, and will all give it their general co-operation, while nearly ! all of them will be contributors to the wor * Washington Irving, Prof. Lieber Nathl.

GRAHAM AND GODEV, BOTH FOR #4 PER ANNUM. THE WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and acknowledged ability of these popular Magasines, render long descriptions and elaborate puffery unnecessary. They are known and read in every corner of our country, and are as household words in the mouths of those who pretend to judgment in Literature or taste in Art. The pens ol our most accomplished writers, as well as the burins of the ablest artists, are enlisted to enrich and adorn their pages?and all that is now famous in letters or beautiful in engravings, in the world of periodical literature, is owing to the fostering care and lavish expense of these two prominent American periodicals. Their imitators fail always in equalling them, for want of public support, and the poor dupes who are led to subscribe to the hastily-born enterprises which spring up every year to delude the public, with promises of wind and words of sound, find that these welt-established works are, as yet, the only reliable sources to which they can look for a faithful performance of all contracts entered into with subscribers. The publishers of Godcy and of Graham have determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the cheapness, elegance and merit of their periodicals, all that has ever been attempted, and as the works are dissimilar, have resolved to place both within the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly posted up in the rapidly-improving periodical literature of the age. The best and freshest, both in Literature and Art, will be found in their ample and greatly mul tiplied pages, and they challenge the world to excel or equal the forthcoming volumes, either in the beauty and cost of their adornments, the merit and amplitude of literary matter, or in the cheapness and accomodating terms with which they are presented to the American public.
