Its long and uniformly success ful career, from its commencement with a few hundred subscribers, until the present time, when it has a circulation exceeding by some thousands all others, is perhaps as god an evidence of its great and con stantly increasing merit as the publishers have it in their power to offer. To its old subscribers, they trust, no asurances are necessary of their determination to maintain its present ascendency over all "the rival periodicals of the country.. The engagement of such men as Bryant, Long fellow, Cooper, Dana, Hojfinan, Mannrr and others, of high reputation in .the lite rary world, as regular contributors, in ad dition to a list embracing many of the first names in the nation, is a sufficient guaran tee that the work will cAnthme to be the principal medium of communication be tween the best authors and the public.— The following more complete list of con tributors will convince the reader that it is impossible to have a superior corps in the present age : Win C Bryun.

OUR ELEGANT PARIS FASHION PLATES The splendid - fashion with which. we shall adorn each number of "Graham" for 1846, have already awakened the jeal ousy of our cotemporaries, and they show their annoyance by' all manner of torture of the word "rAnts. ' It seems to be both a charm and a bane to' them. We have only to, say that our December number contains a specimen of what "Our Paris Fashions" are and will be, aiid we must trust the eyes of the public to, detect the superior value of these, "designed, engra ved,printed and colored at the herd-quar ters of the fashionable world," over the vapid imitations, which 'are got up here at least sixty days old, and' palmed off as cor reet. In January,' we shall have a most elegant • style of cloak patterns, and as it will be issued .early, say by December 'loth, we advise our fair readers not to spoil their material by following the blind guides of last year, but to Anarr TILE TRUE FASHIONS FOR 1846.
