near the NEW YORK. E. Steiger, Publisher, Importer, and Bookseller, has removed to 25 Park Place, Post Office, In consequence of his removal to the spacious and advantageously located building 25 Park Plac, Mr. STEIGER is, at last, in a position to make a proper display of his attractive and carefully-selected Stock- the largest in its special lines of German Publications, Globes, Kindergarten Literature, Material and Occupations, etc. He is also enabled to make additions to the various Departments of his Business and would call especial attention to the fact that, in connection with the Office of the Cyclopædia of Education and the Year-Book of Education, and of STEIGER'S Educational Directory, he has established a Free Educational Bureau, through the medium of which Teachers and Kindergartners desiring positions, Institutions needing Teachers, and Parents or Guardians seeking information respecting Educational Institutions or Private Teachers, may all be accommodated without being charged the customary fee. These, together with the additional advantages which will hereafter be offered by Mr. STEIGER'S Establishment, are intended and cannot fail to render it a desirable, convenient, and widely patronized Headquarters for Educators. With constantly increasing facilities and connections Mr. STEIGER is, therefore, enabled to represent satisfactorily and profitably, in the New York market as well as throughout the United States and Canada, and also in Europe, the interests of Publishers of Educational Books, Manufacturers of School Supplies and School Specialties of particular merit. Acceptable Proposals in this direction will be duly considered, and, if made without delay. can be included in the extensive arrangements already in preparation for the coming season.

Illustrated, 12mo, cloth extra, Price, $1.25. He THE great interest now taken in everything pertaining to Russia and the manners and customs of her people, makes the publication of this work very opportune. Under the title of "A Trip up the Volga," with the Fair of Nijni-Novgorod, which is described in detail, as his ultimate object, the author takes a comprehensive glance at the vast empire of the Russias, its trade, its resources, and its mingled subject races. portrays the wonderful progress of Russia since the Crimean war. This war regenerated Russia by showing her the weak points in her cuirass, the corruption in her administration, the absence of means of internal communication, and the want of vigor and intelligence in a portion of her population. In fact, great, rapid and astounding progress has been made in all the relations of social, moral and political life. We know of no other work of the kind that contains in such small compass so much valuable and entertaining information. PORTER & COATES, Publishers, PHILADElphia.
