The present critical state of European affairs will render these publications unusu- ally interesting during the forthcoming year.

It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only really intelligible and reliable history ef current events, and as such, in addition to their well-established literary, scientific, and theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading public.

GRAND MIRROR OF AMERICAN GENIUS. “ Correct with spirit, elequent with ease, liteut tg reason, or polite to please.” The New York Mercury FOR THE NEW YEAR. T is with ne fear of War's effect upon their literary fortunes, that the publishers of Tne New York Mercury acknowledge the un- wavering loyalty of their TWo HUNDRED THOUSAND sUBsCluBERS, and announce to them and to all, that the New York Mercuny for this year (1863) will be richer in every luxury of Polite Literature than ever before. Jt isno upstart speculation, no tempo- rary “sensation,” but a first class literary weekly, which has been familiar to the United States for a quarter of a century; and while the wishy-washy mushroom prints of yesterday are entting down their talenteven while they raise their subscription- price, Tue New York Mercury maintains all its xreat Stall of Romancers, Poets, Humorists, Essay- ists, Story-Tellers and Editors, and promises to mako it still greater for 1863. It is the one paper for every home. Its forty columns of reading matter por week constitute an unparalleled ‘ CONSERVATORY OF THE ENTERTAINING, and its Novels, Miscellaneous Tales, Reanties of Verse, Gossip, Feuilletons, Broadsides of Humor and Polished Editorials, combine to epitomize all the charms of WIT AND SENTIMENT! The husband reads it to his wife, the mother to her children, the lover te his sweeheart, the soldier to his comrades, and the village schoolmaster to the circle around the stove. It is familiar to the sight of every man, woman, and ehild in our country, and has regular subscribers in several countries of Europe. Tue New York Mercury is also identi fied with the grandest patriotism of the age, for se- veral members of its brilliant Sta hold high rank in our noble army, and have made themselves as famous with the Sword as with the Pen. The great illustrating artistof Tux New York Mercvny, the inimitable Darcey, gives the paper the highest attributes of Fine Art; aud yet his lannest literary weekly of the day promises to surpass itself in ali these respects during the New Year! The first New York Mercury Novelette for the New Year to be commenced in the issue of Jawaary 3, 1844, is called VICTORIA; or, BATTLE of PITTSBURG LANDING. at Liverpool to Mesers. D.

Public opiuion has long since pro- nounced them superior to any other novelettes pub- lished on this sideof the Atlantic ; and the true test of their merit is found in the fact that they are eagerly reproduced, after their publication in the Mercury, by the English press. We may add that the new tale, * Victoria,” is fully equal in interest and depth of plot to either of those which have se- cured so large a share of public approval, and we can earnestly recommend it to all story-readers.

The Liverpool and Lendon F. &L. Tusurance Company has been i successful operation since 1836, with agencies over the world, and has paid in losses about two millions and a Gomes sterling. Its subscribed ea- pital is £2,000,000 sterling, and its invested funds alone amount to £1,312, ty. ; und the fire pre- miums for _— ae £360,130 198 9d: and in ad- dition to this very large capital, the Compar having been established Vefore the recent Linsees Liability Act, the individual fortanes of each of the shareholders, comprising some of the wealthies merchants in Liverpool] and London, are liable for the losses, should the whole of the cnpeaal be swept away. In this respect it differs, it is believed, from any other rerery established here, And lastly, the Agent being appajnted by Power of Attorney directly from England, is authorised to draw Bills the moment a loss qceurs, and without referring to the Home Company, to the extent of one thousand pounds sterling. With these superior adv. . the Company is not disposed (though it might be well j ) to ask a higher me of premiym than other Engli Companies, whieh nul present the same advan tuyeous feataves, and the Agent has been advised that uz guiform rate has been aged upon bythe | Dimers of this Company oot 1 paeei ey ee t the nis re shou in ** act ‘ocean Ww.
