It will be continued throughout the year. THE RECOLLECTIONS OF WASHINGTON IRVING, By one of his early friends, will be found to embody many very interesting facts in regard to that eminent man, which have not before been made public.

It will be completed in the July or August issue of THE CONTINENTAL, when it will be followed by other contributions from the same writer. * * * * *
