Our new enterprise has met with the most marked and decided approbation.

We are gratified with this prompt approval, because our earnest endeavors have ever been to render our Illustrated Newspaper not only amusing and interesting, but useful to that great public which so liberally sustains usin our exten- sive and costly enterprise. As to the perfect, the life-like accuracy of our portraits, the following letters speak so authoritatively that we need no other endorsement : Office of the General Superintendent of Police, 413 Broome street, corner of Elm. New York, April 21st, 1859. Frank Lesiie, Esg.—My Dear Sir—The perfect apccess you have made in transmitting to your Illustrated Paper the like- nesses of missing persons, has secured to you not only the eternal gratitude of the friends who are immediately in- terested, but also the approbation of the entire community, for supplying a medium through which a knowledge of lost ones can be traced. The exact truthfulness with which you have portrayed these likenesses, and placing them on the first page of the paper, will, I have no doubt, subject them to the inspection of at least one million persons within one month from the time of their publication. I have received from Mrs. Harrington and also from James L. Mingle, Chairman of the Yeager Com- mittee, attestations of the entire correctness of the likenesses you have published. Yours truly, SAMUEL BREVOORT. Exrract from a letter to 8. Brevoort, Esq., from James L. Mingle, Chairman of the Yeager Committee : “We have no tidings of Mr. Yeager. The likeness in Leslie’s is a faithful likeness. Yours, &c., “JAS. L. MINGLE, “ Easton, Pa.” Office of the General Superintendeni of Police, 413 Broome street, corner of Elm.
