Emigration, is now the order of the day, and every one is setting off from town that can possibly escape. The demand for summer quarters on the coast never was brisker; and, as the steam-boat tax is not to be levied this year, we are likely to have a merry summer-if a brief one, for it has not yet begun the weather still retaining all the chill of February, while the sun shines with a Mayday length and brightness.

EVENING POST and SCOTTISH LITERARY GAZETTE, beg, in justice to themselves, at this time to call the attention of the Public to the great advantages which that Journal holds out to Advertisers. To Publishers-the Post, from its well-known status as a literary Journal, presents obvious attractions. To Gentlemen of the Law-from its extensive circulation amongst the profession, and the landed gentry of Scotland and England, as well as in the Colonies, the Post offers advantages which no other Journal possesses. To Merchants and Shopkeepers-the widely-extended and daily increasing circulation, now amounting to upwards of 800 in Edinburgh alone, affords very superior prospects of utility. To Miscellaneous Advertisers, and to Political Agents-the high character of the Post, as well as its extensive general circulation, need only be referred to as its most effectual recommendation. The Proprietors, in conclusion, beg to state, that the actual circulation of the Post is 1700-a circulation which, in Edinburgh, is equalled only by one paper, and surpassed by no other in Scotland. To obviate the needless, but common practice of proving such an assertion by means of affidavits, the advertising public may ascer tain the good faith of this statement by an examination of the books, which are open to their scrutiny at the Publishing Office, 20, Shakspeare Square, where advertisements are received, ders, Taylor, and Careless.-IX.
