Among the diversified contents of the MA v

written tale from the London Literary Sot,ieoir,
the production of our towlismati,lf. Sort
In the New ninthly it is noticed as
one of the best prose articles in the book, an d , i 6
pronounced "a tale powerlidly told hy an Ameri
can writer."—Commendation from such a source
is worthy of being repeated. Ti.„ ;snot:
also contains a VIEW CO . Pon. iDELIOIis, front the
Delaware, drawn by heel', and engraved—by
CONE; which has been allowed, by judges whose
tastes may Le depended on, to be the most correct
and graphic sketch of our Leman! riser that is a
ny whore to be found. The Engraver has shown
a master's skill in the execution of the plate

Wo have heard it remarked that woo:1g the
fraternity connected with the press, there prevail
.d to a considerable e.Ntent, (professionally of
cr urse,) a want of !.,•ood feeling towards each other,
a
which betokened degree of selfishness discredit
_ . ' . • • .ited, and - interfered with
the intercha:.;c of those acts of courtesy which
render society to ceable, and - which among per
sons drawn together ill Othcr pursuits are said to
- be freely and generally prmtised. Now all such
assertions v.-e. consider libellous. We have taken
occasion individually frennently to contradict
thorn, and if it were necessary, uhuridant
niony could be produced to prove that they were
fabrications. l'or instance, there is no new publi
cation issuing-from the pross(& who will couiplaiii
that there is a dearth of thane) but you will find, if'
the work deserve a pasing notice, our brethi ell ap.
pear einulons to select such terms of praise as
will be best adapted to mince cordiality with
which the new enterprise is cheered and encour
aged to launch out boldly in the world of letters.
Many go still further—and-with their personal in
fluence, end also the publicity that is given to it,
through the agency of their presses, procure fir
the publication an eXtoiisive patronage, which in
no other way could be obtained so spceilily and
c ago perfectlly sensible of the
obligations which tin UN to gentlemen of the
press generally; the liberality shown to our pro
tege, "The SATuanvv Conuma," has been quite
gratif,ying, and while we conceive it a duty, it will
usrit _times _a_ pleasure _to mote-out- the
kind fbelings to them all. We were about.
to cite several instances of the interest which has
been shown towards literary enterprises, by our
brethren, but one will suffice. Scarcely a paper
which we have an opportunity of perusing—and
they include by far the pater portion . or the
whole that are published in Alto States—from
one extreme to the other—we say that there is
PcarclAy one Of these papers which has not at
times recorded its preference in favour of that
excellent magazine, the "Lsni's Boost." Our co-
temporaries, Messrs. L. A. Goonv and Co., w;arc '
satisfied deserve credit for tlmir taste and indAs-
try in improving the standard of American peri
odicals—for,- wo could name sa‘era,l, if wd ‘‘.iarci
disposed to turn oracles, which, like tho Caineleon
have changed their complexions entirely f:ince
this work was com.nenced. So far then the public
iiave been benefited. hop ourselves, we wish all
enterprising publisheni buccess, and when wo
cannot do ,better for them we will select the no
tices we find oftheir works, and insert them rat
twously. The following are too excellent to be
debarred an insertion in our columns. ":"
