Graham's American Monthly Mnga/.ine, for 1845, will commenco a nevv volume, December 10th, 1844, with the January number.

To his old sub¬ scribers, bo trusts no nssuranecs nre necessnry ofhis lielerininnlion to mainlain ita present nscendency over all rival periodicalsof the country.

Graham's Magazine has been, from its eslnblish¬ ment, more than any other, the favorilc periodical of tho people of the Uniled Slates. Though its ]ilan docs nol entirely exclude arlii-les of the most important character such as hnvo rnised Blackwood nn.l .some olher foreign jourunis totheir high influ¬ ence and reputntion, ilsjiages nro principnlly devo¬ ted to what is usually tertned light literature. Ilis disUnguii.lied I'rom olher iiubliealinns of simrlar aims by I be lilerary aud nrlislic meritof its eonttnts. While llioso of olher works are unknown or an- nonymous, tho eonliibuluis lothis arc themost em¬ inent authors of our ngo nnd country, the very crcntors, fouudris, of our naliunal lileralure. Es¬ pecially il is celebrated ns containing the choicest productions oftho finest female wrilers oflho liine. Every number conlains I'cms wbich may lio appeal¬ ed to with pride by the sex; ns vindicating their intellectual eminence. It may snfely be asserted tbilt Graham's M.-.gazine has regulariiiy engaged a better eo,-ps of writers than auy olhcr iiiagai'.ine; that sinco its establishment it baa been Ike pioneer in magnzine lileralure; and that thc contributors of " (sruhaiii" have, liy dieir nble contributions, givon a higher nalimial characler lo periodicnl literature in die United Stales thnu it ever befoie possessed. Wilh .such a li:4 of writers as our pages exhibil, we may chnllenge the cnticism cf Europe.
While the most able wrilers of the country arc engaged aa  permanent contributors to   Graham'
Editorial and Critical Department. The Edilorial Deparlment will continue to em¬ brace notes on current literature, and reviews of all new American or foreign works of general in¬ terest or value. Tbc criticisms of Graham's Maga¬ zine are acknowledged in all jiarts of thecountry lo be superior in acumen, honesty and independence to those of nny eotcniponiries. Greater scope will bo given lo this de|iarltneiit of tho work nnd topics on all siibjeclN likely lo aUract atlention wili botear- lessly discussed.

Varicly of magnificent lUngravings. No magazine in Ihe world has presented sO grent a varieiy of elegant engravings to its stibseribcro as Graham's.
