THE above periodicals are reprinted in New York immediately on their arrival by the British steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white pa per, and are faithful copies of the originals—Black wood’s Magazine being an exact sac simile of the Edinburgh edition. The prices of the re-prints are less than one-third of those of the foreign copies, and, while they are equally well got up, they afford all that advantage to the American over the English reader.

By a late arrangement with the British Publishers of Blackwood’s Magazine, early sheets of that work will be forwarded to this country, so as to insure the receipt by American subscribers of the entire number of the Re-print, before any portion of it can be made use of by other American publishers. This will make the work far more desirable than heretofore, and it is hoped will lead to an increase of the sales sufficient to justify the cost of the arrangement. Mg* Wm. C.

RICHARDS. THERE is not, south of the Potomac, a single Journal whose sole object is to develope and foster literary taste and talent in the South ; and this fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest at tempt to establish such a journal. The failure of previous efforis cannot be regarded by the intelligent mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those failures may have been, and probably were, the re sult of circumstances no longer existing The need of such an organ in our midst, L so universally ac knowledged. that not to attempt to supply the defi ciency, would indicate a disregard of the signs of the times scarcely more surprising than inexcusable". The progress of the age, and the rapid advance of the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal Improvements, imperatively demand a correspond ing advance in literature. To aid in this great ob ject, he has established a Weekly Journal at the seat of the University of Georgia and rallied around it the best writers of the South. The Editor is assured of the support of his able coadjutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much other assistance from the most prominent writers ot the South. The Gazette is made up of matter both original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays, Sketches ot Travel, Poetry, Criticisms, and a Gener al Miscellany ot information in all departments ot Literature, Art and Science, Particular attention is given to Scientific and Practical Mechanics. In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no con temporary, and the aid ot the fine arts will not be wanting to enhance its attractions. Portraits of South ern writers. and pictures of Southern Life and Scene ry will be presented. Ihe Editor confidently appeals to the friends ot Literature in the South; and he is happy to announce that his enterprise is of uo doubtful issue. By pri vate effort a large and generous list has been obtain ed, and upwards of One Thousand Subscribers have pledged their support to the paper. Until this was accomplished, the editor was unwilling to pub lish his Journal, but it is now given to the public with the unequivocal assurance that it shall be permanent. TERMS.—I. The Southern Literary Ga zette is published weekly, on a handsome imperial quarto of Spaces—printed from new type, on fine white paper. 2. It is furnished to sinel* subscribers at Two Dollars per annum, in advance; and to ciubs of six for Ten Dollars. (C?
