rpHE LITERARY GAZETTE : —The X LITERARY GAZETTE has passed into the hands of a new Proprietary and Direction , and on and after the 3 rd JULY , 1858 , will appear in an improved form , enlarged to thirty-two pages , m new type ,, and . with important variations in . and additions to . its literary and general characteristics . The new Conductors have elected to retain a title with which the public has' for more than forty years "been familiar . But in aiming to renovate the publication in compliance with the demands of a tasto at once larger more liberal , and more exact than that of the period when tlie Gazette originated , it has been thought well to mark tlie change as the commencement of a New Series . Arrangements have been made , by which ihe assistance of a strong staff of contributors , of established literarv character , lias been secured for the columns devoted to criticism on literature and on the arts ; -the department apportioned to scientific subjects has b « en confided to ¦ vigilant care , and provision has been made for the receiDt of such communications from tho principal foreign cities as will enable tho English reader to note tlie state and nrogress of Continental literature and art . To other details of rearrangement it is not necessary to refer , beyond remarking that the new Conductors have endeavoured so to organize tho co-operation that is to produce the Gazette that no department shall bo inadequately worked . The principles of tho new undertaking may be very brieflv stated . The moat respectful recognition , of literary and artistic excellence , without undue regard to prestiai and position ; and without any regard to private influence interest , or clique . Endeavour to promoto the best interests of literature by inviting attention to its hig-liest productionsbut without neglecting or discouraging efforts of secondary * merit , or of mero promise ; or submitting' to teats of unjust severity works of an unambitious , temporary , or simnlv practical character . But tho homely and wholesome Saxon rule- " Pair Play , " which will guido all who are engaged in producing The Litbkary Gazette , in uo sense promises impunity to the indolent , immoral , or unworthy labourer in tho literary vineyard . . Among the new features in tho Series about to commencewill bo tho Correspondence of tho journal . It is believed that valuable interchange of thought may be promoted bv a reasonable development of this portion of tho Journal and though of necessity tho number of correspondents to whom space can bo afforded will bo email compared to tho number of those who must bo content with knowing that their communications have been respectfully considered the Conductors propose- to try whothor , by condensation and arrangement , readers of tho Gazette may not bo largely admitted to aid in enriching it . In such announcements general promise is necessarily vaguo , and special promise may be undesirably precise . A few numbers of tho Now Series of tho LiTEnAttY ( Ja ^ eiste will'best show tho views and objects of Its Conductors . Thoprico of The Literautt Gazette unstamped will bo Fourpenco ; stamped , Fivcponce . The Literary Gazette will bo published at its New Onico , No . 4 , Bouvoric-strcet , Fleet-street , E . G ., where all communications aro to bo addressed , and whoro advertisements will be received .
