Ladies
TERMS THREE DOLLARS A YEAR.
THE LADIES COMPANION, a month
ly periodical, commenced on the broad
grounds of diffusing general information, tar
and wide—at a price, which is within the reach
ol all classes ol the community. The plan lias
succeeded beyond the most sanguine anticipa
tions of tlie proprietor. The first nuiuht r was
Issued to the public, with only m itith to names
of subscribers, and at tins day it boasts of a cir
culation nearly double that of any monthly
Magazine in America; and is daily increasing,
at an average of twenty subscribers. In tin
pages of the Ladies Companion, every 1 lass ol
readers will find that which will tend to their
enjoyment; tales, of every nature, pathetic and
humorous; choice essais and sketches by the j
best writers of the day ; literary and scientific
ntelligence ; copious extracts from American
and English Annuals; strictures on the drama
ind fine arts ; not ires of all the new publications
as they issue from the press; translations from
the French, Spanish, Greek, German, 1 Lai. an
and Hebrew languages; original and selected
poetry; original music and Engravings, with
fine wood cuts and patterns ol embroidery ot
vvery description, independent of an immense j
eariety of miscellaneous articles on every sub- j
ject ol the least interest to the most casual :
reader, embracing passing events; biogruplii- j
cal sketches of noted individuals; discoveries |
in the arts and sciences, Ac. Ac. Ac.; accounts
of colleges and American institutions; sketches
from scenery of our own country ; public as
semblies, painting. popular lectures, speakers j
and authors ; view of olden times of the city of
gotliam ; Broadway Analyzed; comments on |
G lod Society, Ac. Ac. Embellished monthly 1
with a splendid Steel Engraving; popular mu
sic—original and selected ; and Embroidery for
the working of lace patterns. In short nothing
required to insure interi st, amusement, or the
improvement of the mind in the pages of Un-
Ladies Companion, will be wanting on tin
part of the proprietor, and it will be—
"With sweetest flowers enrich’d,
From various gardens cull’d with care.”
Articles from the pens of the first authors in
either Europe or America have appeared in tin
pages of the Ladies Companion, during the two
last volumes, without reference to expense, too
numerous to name, which stamps it the cheap
est and most diversified periodical issued m A
merica
Negotiations have been commenced with an
additional number of popular writers, for orig,-
nal contributions for the ensuing year, among
them are—

In conjunction with those who have, hereto
fore favored the Ladies Companion with origi
nal contributions.
It has ever been the aim of the proprietor to
inculcate and promote the cause ol morality.—
It cannot be denied that the periodical press
exercise a decided influence upon the moral
and intellectual character; and where that
press is uniram.lu lled by mercenary consider
ations or vicious principles, its effect must be
elevating and reliniug to u community, like
thutol America. \\ it ti these views, every tiling
operating injuriously to morals or religion have
been studiously avoided and not allowed u place
i;i the Magazine; for, we hold those men as
traitors to their country, who would seek to de
Btroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion,
either* by open opposition or secret intrigue
In sustaining the literary character of the La
dies Companion, the proprietor u ill not routine
himself to the mere task of pleasing, without
imparting vigor to the nnml; but will endeavor
to present both, that which will be attractive
to superficial readers, us well as that winch
will furnish subjects tor reflection to the stu
dent. No work in America presents its sub
scribers with such a lnelenge- of invaluable
reading as the Ladies Companion, for its ex
tremely low price (three dollars a year;) and
letters are continually being received from Eu
rope. inquiring bow it is possible lor a periodi
cal to be issued at sueli a small rate, winch
proves its undeniable chums to the support ot
the American people, particularly those of tin
state ot New \ ork and adjacent ones.
It is not generally known to the public that
each number of the Ladies Companion con
tains more reading than any other Magazine m
America ; and its subscription price is two dol
lars lc: . than those issued m New York. A
single page contains more than two pages ol
the other Magazines, and some of them three.
The terms are three dollars a year, payable
in advance, and no subscription taken for less
than one year. It is published on the loth ot
each month, stitched m a colored cover and for
warded to subscribers out of the citv by the
earliest mails, strongly enveloped in double
wrappers to prevent lru-te n. Oilice. I]o Wil

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CIIIOCE
LITERATURE.
TO say that this is a reading age, implies a
desire for instruction, and the means to
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
grt-ed ; on the second, there is diversity both
of opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of
all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have
severally their classes of readers and support
ers. And yet copious as are these means ol
intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
addition to the reviews of the day and passing
notices of books, the people in large numbers,
in all parts of our great republic crave the pos
session of the books themselves, and details,
beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress
oi discovery in art and science. But though it
be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it
is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis
tance from the emporium ofliterature, engross
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation of even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people al
way lrom the feast of reason and the enjoyment
of the covered literary aliment It is the ob
ject ot the publishers of the Library to obviate
these difficulties, and to enable every individ
ual, at a small cost and without any personal
effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his
favored friends or family, valuable works, com
plete, on all the branches of useful and popular
literature, and that in a form adapted to the
comfort of the reader.
The charm of variety, as far as it is cornpati
ble with morality and good taste, will be held
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to fill the pages of which the current literature
of Great Britain, in all its various departments
of biography, history, travels, novels and poe-
I try, shall be freely put under contribution.—
I With perchance occasional exceptions, it is m
j tended to give entire the work which shall be
selected for publication. When circumstances
authorize the measure, recourse will be had to
the literary stores of Continental Europe, and
translations made from French, Italian or Ger
man, as the case may be.
YV Inlstthe body of the work will be a reprint,
or at times a translation of entire volumes, Un
cover will exhibit tlie miscellaneous character
of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, and notices of novelties in literature
and the arts throughout the civilized world.—
A lull and regular supply of the literary, month
ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain
and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals ol
a similar character, cannot fail to provide am
ple materials for this part of our work.
Tlie resources and extensive correspondence
of the publishers are the best guarantee for tin
continuance of the enterprize in which tin*)
are about to embark, as well as for tlie abun
dance of the materials to give it value in the
eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec
tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to be fully satisli
ed, as the editor of the Library is not a strun
ger to tliem, but lias more than once obtumeil
their favorable suffrages for his past literan
efforts.

ON the first of September next, will be is
sued the first number of the Southern Lit
erary Aspirant , in quarto form, medium—to be
conducted by the present Editor of the ‘- News
Carrier;” at which time that paper will merge
into the former.
Such a work is offered to tlie public from a
firm conviction of its necessity and importance;
anil the editor has only to regret that abler
hands have not undertaken to accomplish so
desired an object as the advancement of L.tera
ture in the South, before him. To effect which
will lie his constant and unerring aim. The
Ed,tor lias received the assurance of assistance
from many, upon whom he relies, with a pleas
ing confidence, that himself nor the public,
through him, will be disappointed in tlit-ir ex
■peetations of its character and success.
VY'e intend that our paper shall be a faithful
vehicle of general News. The cause of the
South, will be its cause, and the advancement
of her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa
paper, it will espouse no party ; the important
affairs of Government, however, will not be
suffered to pass unnoticed—and all sensible,
judicious communications on this subject, pro
vided they art- free from party spirit, will re
ceive particular attention.
Persons obtaining ten responsible subscribers
to the Aspirant, will be entitled to one copy

We having witnessed the performance of Mr
T L. Smith s new Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this
place, take pleasure in recommending it to the
public. The fact of ts performance is its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three hundg
red ands xty-eight brick per hour. By mould
ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore turn
out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.
It requires six boys to bear off’, and four to sand
the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautitul brick per day.

Debts, in this and the neighboring Southern
States, and w’ill travel almost continually to
present them himself. Should the business of
tered be sufficient, the agency will be made a
permanent one—and while his long connexion
with the Press and consequent knowledge ol
its peculiar requisitions and benefits from such
an Agency, and his extens.ve personal acquain
tance with the localities and people of the coun

ful attention to them.

WALDIE'S LITERARY OMNIBUS—
JVorct and Important Literary Enterprizc!
A'ovcls , Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
Reticles, and the Acws of the Day. It was
one of the great objects of “Waldie's Library,”
“to make good reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man’s door.” This object
has been accomplished ; we have given to
books wings, and they have Hown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
rary, information to all. We now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render tire access
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible ; we gave, and shall continue to give,
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, for less than four cents a
week, and to add. as a piquant seasoning to the
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the new r s and events of the
day. We know, by experience and calcula
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and we feel, that there is still
verge enougli for us to aim at offering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form lor
binding and preservation, and its price and
form will remain the same. But we shall, in
the first week of January, 1837, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also,fil
ed with books, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voy ages, Travels, &c., select in
their character, joined with reading, sucii as
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; to en
liven and enlighten the lamily circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge “ the power of
concentration can no farther go.” No book,
which appears in Waldie's Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an
entirely distinct periodical.
Terms. Waldie’s Literary Omnibus, will
be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa
per of a quality superior to any other weekly
sheet, and of the largest size. It will contain,
Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
Ih> procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, &c., and only chargeable with Acres
paper postage.
2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices
of books, and information from “the world of
letters,” of every description.
3d. The new's of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sulticient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
inerica.
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where the paper islurward
ed to one address. The clubs ol two individ
uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single, mail subscrib
ers, THREE DOLLARS. The discount on
uncurrent money will be charged to the remit
ter ; the low price and superior paper, absolute
ly prohibit paying a discount.
HIT On no condition will a copy ever be sent,
until the payment is received in advance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed ail his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no tear oi
non-fulfilment of the contract can be felt. Ihe
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal un
mount to two volumes of Rees’ Cyclopedia, lor
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post
paid,) ADAM \VALDIE.

(LF Editors throughout the Union and Cana
da, will confer a favor, by giving the above one
or more conspicuous insertions, and accepting
the work for a year as compensation.
PROSPECTUS OF
Tlie Experiment.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication ol
a paper, the undersigned will depart from a
usage more honored in the breach, than in the
observance, and make no promises which it is
not his design to fulfil. “The Experiment,
after a trial of almost 12 months, has not failed in
recuring for the Editor, the attention and pat
sonage desired; and it is confidently believed,
in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified for the encouragement
inanilested, desirous of making his little paper
worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
generous public, the subscriber has determined
to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly lour
tunes as much matter as it now does. Thus
will be afforded greater space for his own lucu
orations and those of correspondents, together
with Advertisements and judicious selections-
It inay not be inappropriate here to remark, that,
for want of room, some of the best communica
tions have been excluded, and occasionally in
teresting matter,(difficult to condense within so
small a compass. With increased labor and
< xpenditure, he must hope for increased re
ward ; and consequently, the subscription price
for the second volume will be One Dollar <n
advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at t ®
expiration of the year. This alteration, it
be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
of size in the paper; the times being hard, wt?
are willing to work as low as we can, to save
ourselves from debt, to please our patrons and
ourselves also.
Advertisements, as heretofore at 50 cents pci
square for the first insertion, and 25 cents per
square for each subsequent insertion.
