[The Cas!; ft nnd Gentleman' s Unilad. A new volume undcr the abovc tule, of the svell estnblished nnd Fashonable Magazine. I he Philadelphia Caeket in conjunction with the tentlcman's Magazine, which has been every where pronounced to be the most readable and popuia of the day, wil bo oponed on the first day ol January, 182. with an array of contribulors secured by tlieunion of talent, of fame, which no periodical in the country can boast or pretend to revile. The December number will however. bc a specimen of the new volume. The volume will be opened with a new and bcautiiul type, the finestwhite paper, and with the first of n series of cmbellishments unsurpossed by any which have yet appeared in any Magazine. The stylo of elegancc the beauty and iinish oJ these iliustrations, and the evtensive iniprovcments which will be made in its typoraphical appearance. and above all the tone of itsliterarydcpartmcnt, by the brilliant array of contributors, whose articles have enriched the paces of each number. will give it a characler, second to no Magazine in the Union. The character of the anieles which shall appear in its pages, will be equally remeved trom a sickly sentimentality, and from an cffectation of moralitv.but while a true dclineíition of human nature in every variety o passion is aimed at, nothing sh;ill bc found in its pages to cauae a blushupon the check of the most pure. '■ , ,The Literary Character will bc sutiiciemiy guaranteed by the reputation of both Magazines ihus united. Tor years past. Writers of the firsi rank have been regular contributors to their pagys. and thé tales and sketches publi&hed in thoin have been widely copied and rcad. and the firm and independent tone of the criticisms, upon the currentliteratureofthe day hasbeeu eveiy where apnroved and com Tiende, The list of Coíitvibutors embraces the names of most of the principal writers in America, with a respectable nuniber of English authors. In addition, the diftinguished services of a host of anonymous writers of no ordinary abilit es have "iven worth and character to the pages oi the Magazines. The series of well known nautical papers entitled " Cruising in the Last War," have had a run, uncqualed by any series published in nny Magazine, for ycars. The author promises to open the first of a nevv series of " Tales of the Sea." and from iiis known abilitiesas a depicter of sea scènes and life, much may be relied upon trom hioi in maintaining the popularity of the Magazine. Papers may be expected dunng the volamealso from the author of the well known articles entitled "The Log of Old Ironsidcs."- The author of ' Syrian Letters,' will also Iend his powerful and graceful pen to sustain and increase the reputation of the work. The valuable aid of the author of 'Lcaves from a Lawyers Port Folio' has nlso been secured - and we may expect something stil! more thrilling irom the spacious stores which a long life in the profession has enabled him to amass. An occasional Chit-Chat with 'Jercmy Short' and ' Olivcr Oldfellow' is also promised with a varicty of choice articles in prose and verse, from various'writers of celebrity, as contributors to the prominent Magazines of the country. The Editors of both Magazines continue their services ünder the new arrangement. tVith such an array of talent, a Magazine ofunrivalled attractions, mav snfelv be promised the coming volume.
