JlUE anxiety to bring into activity the talent LL of the country, induced the piihiishers ot the NOVELIST'S 'MAGAZINE to oiler a preuiiuiii of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR for thk LKST Novix, on a National subject, for that publication. But, by the Report of the Committee, which is subjoined, the manuscripts submitted to their perusal, are not ol that haracier which would warrant the award of that premium. The time is therefore extended, as is also the amount, which, it U to be hoped, will induce native talent to exertion : "The undersigned, a Committee selected for that purpose, have examined a number of Manuscript Novels, offered as competitors for a premium, proposed lo be given bv the publishers of the NOVELIST'S MAGAZINE, Ho the Author of the best Novti., on u National subject ' "While tlte undersigned are of opinion that several of the Novels submitted to (heir inspection, possesses considerable merit, tbey do not think any one of them is altogether of such a description as would warrant theui in awarding the premium.

Thcre is no country which, for the time of f(s civilized and political existence, offers so wide and untrodden afield for the enterprise of the Novelists as this and it is not alone the interest, but the duty of those who possess mind for the task, to occupy the field of competition, and thus probably establish hi3 own reputation, and promote that of his country Iudepender.it of the national inducement, the attention of the literary aspirant is directed to the following: In order to assist in advancing American Literature, and cive the readers of ihe NOVELIST'S MAGAZINE a share in the advantage of meritorious talent, w hich iho country pos-e-ses, the Publishers of that work, satisfied that the best way to promote talent 13 to reward it, offer a Premium of 750 dollars, TO THE AUTHOR OF THE Upon a National subject to be presented on cy txforc the first of 1pril, 1B34. This Premium will be awarded by a chosen Committee; and the successful Work will be printed in a handsome book-form, corresponding with the best London Editions of popular Novels ; in order that the manner of its publication may correspond with the merit ol the Author. The competitor for the Premium will understand that, in addition to the SEVEN HUNDRED and FIFTY DOLLARS, he will be entitled to FIFTY DOLLARS for every Thousand Copies of ihe Work which may be sold, during tin: continuation of the copyright, or FIVE DOLLARS for every Hundred; which, when competent talent is exercised on Ihe Work, H not unlikely to produce a fair remuneration. The Manuscripts for competition must be delivered by the first of April, under an envelope, addressed to C.

The new and very popular Novel entitled, "t illage Belits is now in course of publication for the Novelist's Magazine, and will he issued in the next number ( f that Work. It is a pro duction of more than ordinary excellence, and will be read with much interest and anxiety.
