ITS LITERARY CHARACTER.— Whatever mar have been the attractions of the thirteen preceding volumes of the New York Mirror, the arrangements entered in to and consummated for the routimumrn, the first number of which will he published un ti4e second of July next, warrant us in the pledge that, in every respect, but pal tieularly in the Literary Department, it will greatly surpass all its predecessors, fully maintaining its preeminent position among the periodicals of the country, and offering a successful rivalry with the must vaunted popular periodicals of the British and Pari sian press. ITS STEEL ENGRAVINGS.—The most distinguished artists have been employ ed 1. , ) furnish designs and execute the plates for the Beautiful Series of Pictorial Einbet : lishments, illustrative of American scenery) incidents, and personages, intended to grime the new 'volume; among which, from a chrf d'teuvre of INMAN, will be a splendid en graving and perfect likeness of Mr. BAL.

LECTION OF CHOICE AND RAIiE riEcEs,which, although occupying but little more than one sixteenth part of the work, could nut ho purchased in any other way, except at a cost ar greater than that of our entire annual subscription! • From the foregoing it will be perceived that the plan of the Mirror embraces every subject within the range of the FINE ANTS and the BELLES.LE'II'RES, and no expense will be spared to render it equal to any other publication extant. The fiat. ering and generdt testimonials of writers, scholars, and contemporary journals,on bot h sides of the Atlantic, have unequivocally as serted that there is no work which gives such valuable equivalents Jur the amount of subscription, (fie dollars per annum,) or which pussesses wor e strong; mid undeniable claims to tie efficient support of the Ameri can people.
