EDITOR'S TABLE.

It is with unfeigned pleasure, that we present to our readers this month a biography of the late distinguished Chief Justice of New York, AMBROSE SPENCER,-from the pen of an eminent writer, whose name, for certain personal reasons, we are obliged reluctantly to withhold. It will be eagerly perused by the friends of the distinguished jurist and admired by the public at large.

The portrait, which accompanies the biographical sketch, reflects credit on the artist who engraved it, and is copied from what we we believe to be the most accurate and finished picture ever taken of its eminent original.

Mr. STREET who has now in press in London, to be published by Bentley, an epic poem of about six thousand lines and said to be of great merit-kindly furnishes us with a page of verse, which is agreeable in sentiment to the honorable pride of our natures as well as in form acceptable to our tastes.

REV. DR. KIP's interesting translation, is concluded in the present number.

Mrs. SIGOURNEYr's poem is worthy of her genius, and we must express our acknowledgments of her repeated kindness.

The remaining articles will not be complained of, as wanting variety. We shall make an early appearance before the public in December, and hereafter issue the Magazine at the commencement of each succeeding month.
