No American, ami no European magazine has ever arrayed in its support a more accuiiiplisiied corps of contributors. Minds of the highest order have, rom the first, been employed to write for it.

With a view, however, to draw forth, for the use of their readers, articles of still great er value, the proprietors have determined, in addition to the present outlay for literary contributions, to oiler the sum of fJA'E TIlHSnD MILLARS For Ten Prize Arlicles; To be Dub isiied monthly till the series is completed, i1 This offer is entirely different from the usual schemes bearing thesasie name. Those schemes generally propose an apparently high price for a few stories, without putting any Itmil upon tne lengui, ana claiming as gratuitous all that do not gain a prize. Thus they often, under the appearance of liberal ity, are only lotteries to secur; a large amount of matter at a small price. Thus, also, their proprietors fill out their pmodicals trom mouili to month with stories of interminable length, the author who will DfTer the longest story, being pretty sure to gain the prize. In our plau, on the contrary, the writers are limited as lo space, no article being accepted which exceeds a very moderate length.

We want the BEST articles, not the longest. MoreoveV, all the pieces vhi do sot gain a prize are to be returned to lite authors, unless otherwise negotiated for. In other words, the publishers offer to pay for each of these special articles the sum of ONi. HuN- URlll) JJULLiAKS. Their object is to selhre, besides their usual variety and excellence of matter, a series of monthly articles entirely superior to any thing heretofore published in ihe magazines.

They have determined to place their magazine, in respect to its literary character, beyond the reach of competition. The pieces offered in competition must be presented by the first of April, 1851. They may be tales, essays, or arlicles of a mis cellaneous character, according to the taste Mobile SI tflonen' CR been seized at Burton, by llm Custom House officers, for violating the revenue law 8.
