Y. Herald. Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof fin, now resident in Newburyport, Mass, address ed to the Editors of the “ Casket,” and “ Saturday Evening Post." Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer of your excel lent publication, the “ Casket,” I assure you, meets from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial reception: the plates alone, at the close of a year, would be worth the trilling expense of the subscrip tion ; those representing the Capitol, at Harrisburg, Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. are hand somely executed, and add intrinsic value to the work; in truth, I am free to say, that there is not within the compass of my knowledge, a work of the kind so well calculated to cheer thfe oppressed and languid spirits as the “ Casketthe matter is diversified and useful—so much so, that there must always be found something to please the literary taste of every one, who can be pleased at all. Perhaps, some folks may think me over-earnest in this matter, and that I am only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for the*gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will readily allow that my remarks are just.—I am, gen tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S. COFFIN. The demand for the Casket already has been such as to compel the publishers to re-print a large edition of the two first numbers, the first edition having been nearly disposed of—and as it will be impossible for them again to replace future numbers should they run out, it is respectfully suggested to persons who wish to possess a copy of the work that they send in their names immediately. Post-masters and publishers of papers who will interest themselves in obtaining subscribers, and be responsible for the subscription, shall be entitled to every sixth copy gratis. |CP> All orders for the work, must be post paid, accompanied by one year’s subscription in advance, and addressed to the Publishers in Philadelphia.

The numbers already published, contain January—An excellent likeness of the late JOHN ADAMS, by Longacrc—A \ iew of FAIR MOUNT WATER WORKS, near Philadelphia—and Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the “ School of FlMia,” with cuts.
