ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS RE* W A R D. WHEREAS it has been reported that there is an outer bar opposite the entrance to the Port of Brunswick, in Georgia, some miles dis tant from that surveyed by three Commission ers of the Navy in 163(5, and having less water upon it; the above reward is offered to any per son who will discover any such bar so situated as to cause a hindrance to ships entering the Port. And whereas it has been also confidently re ported that there is a bar across the inner chan nel of Oglethorpe Bay, opposite the city ot Brunswick, having only the depth of six or eight feet of water on it at low tide; a reward of five hundred dollars will be paid to any per son who shall discover such bar, or any bar so situated, which has not an abundant depth ot water upon it for the passage ot merchant ships of the first class up to the tow n. The inner har above alluded to is probably the one described in the following extracts, Ist, From the report of the State Commis sioners, John C. Polliill, Hugh Lawson and Moses Fort. Esquires : ‘■Between Brandv Point on this island, and Dennis’s Folly on the Brunswick shore, there is an inner bar. upon which there is about twelve feet at low water, and, as the tide rises ten feet, it gives the same depth of water that we find on the outer bar, with this advantage, that the bottom being soft mud creates no damage to ships and may be very easily deepened if it were necessary. But no such necessity exists, ns any ship that crosses the outer har can run over this at high water, and find the best an chorage near the bluff along the whole extent of the town, in from twenty \u forty foot water at the lowest time of tide. This we ascertain ed from careful soundings at low water, and after having finished the soundings for our selves, ascertained that Stockton's report anil diagrams confirmed our own survey.” fid. From the report of the Commissioners of the Navy, made subsequently to the last: ‘•A shoal of soft mini, close to and below the town, on which hut If! feet can he found at low water, seems to indicate some other point in the harbor as a more suitable position for a navy yard. We believe Blythe Island, nil the op posite shore, to he the most eligible.” Any person making the above discoveries, will please give information of the same to the Resident Agent of the Brunswick Com panies, and the reward shall he [laid in each case to the first successful applicant.

Jt is generally conceded that the contents of the Messenger embraces as much originud matter as any other periodical of the present day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome information, with a view to the cultivation of a correct knowledge of l’olite Literature, is the chief object i»1 which it aims. Arrangements have been entered into, liv which the publish er will he assisted in the editorial depart incut by the talents of three or four gentlemen of distinguished abilities—and it is intended to introduce several important improvements, which will bespeak additional popularity lor its columns.

A case of superior white HATS, just received. Darien, July 27, 1637. Increased Alt rad ions ! PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY COURIER FMIIE vast patronage which has been axvar _L ded the Courier is the best evidence of its approval. It lias the largest subscription list in this country. It is the largest and chea pest Family Newspaper ever issued in the U nited Slates, containing articles in Literature, Science and the Arts ; Internal Improvement, Agriculture, in short every variety of topics usually introduced into a public Journal. Giv ing full accounts of sales, markets and news of the latest dates Without interfering xvitli the- usual variety, the Courier has presented ten |Volumcs of the most popular literature of the day within the last year. This feature puts into the hands of its patrons the must entertaining and popular current literature, amounting each year to six times the price paid for subscription—in addi tion to the immense quantity of other matters which appear in its columns. In the contin uation of this feature we shall endeavor to pre sent new and popular works with such expedi tion that the publication cannot lie anticipated in other sources. In the future numbers we shall draw from the pens of such writers as Disraeli, Miss Mitford, (’apt. Maryatt, Leitch Ritchie, Miss Landon, J. It. Buckstoue, Charles Dickius, Barry Cornwall, Cornelius Webb, Douglass Jerrold, Theodore Hook, Crolton Croker, Thomas Campbell, Mrs. S. C. Hull, Haynes llayly, Mrs. Gore, Countess of Blessington.Tlie celebrated “Boz,” And, in short, from the xx hole range of the current literature of Europe, with which our arrangements will supply us at as early a mo ment as they can be received in the country. Besides wo have the pleasure of numbering among our contributors many of the most dis tinguished writers of our country, from whose pens ORIGINAL TALES, POEMS. SONGS, NARRATIVES AND SKETCHES, will con tinue to add interest to its columns. The Architectural beauty of many of the IT BLIC BUILDINGS of this city is prover bial. Believing it will be acceptable to our numerous patrons to be presented with EN GRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS of those edi fices, we are engaged in bringing out a com plete series, which will form a collection that may well be termed, THE LIONS OF PHIL ADELPHIA. Where it is expedient, we ac company the engravings xvith such descriptions of size and tacts of history, as may be of inter est. The Courier is published at the loxv price of Txvo Dollars. For this small sum subscribers get valuable and entertaining matter each week enough to fill a common book of txvo hundred and fifty pages, and equal to fifty two volumes a year, and which is estimated to be read, week ly, by at least two hundred thousand people, l scattered in all parts of the country, from Maine to Florida, and from the sea board to the lakes. Th is approved Family Newspaper is strictly neutral in religious and political matters, and the uncompromising opponent of quackery of every kind. O’As a trifling expression of our regard, we shall print the whole series of the Engra ved Illustrations, at their completion, upon fine white paper, in uniform style—forming a beau tiful collection of Views, and present them to such of our Country Brethren as may oblige us by an insertion of the above advertisement. Philadelphia, 1637. PROPOSALS For publishing, by subscription, a work to be rntithd Flora Georgien»is. THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction ary of Botany ;—presenting, first, Vegeta ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac curate description of every plant yet discovered in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox ious properties—its English name—its emblem, language, <fcc. Such a work is much needed, at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We have no text book in Botany, calculated to render the science attractive. Such as we have, are nothing more than a fexv disconnected facts in Physiology, or a dry desc lption of a few leaves, roots, flowers, &c. all tending to excite disgust rather than taste. Students should, as soon as possible, he inducted into the practical part of the science—it is that only which can inspire them with enthusiasm in the prosecution of their researches. We have nev er known a profound botanist, made so, by delving for months over pages treating of sap, alburnum, cambium, and the like. This work will teach pupils, first, the names of the classes and orders in the Linnean system, the method of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to the examining, collecting and arranging of them into an herbarium. A love for the science be ing thus implanted, it must and will increase, and urge them on to further and further investi gations. We intend that our work shall be, at once, a text book for schools—a pleasing companion for ladies in the boudoir and saloon—a useful friend and companion for gentlemen in their travels, their daily rambles, &c. Finally, it will be enriched with every species of informa tion which can render such a work entertaining and instructive. We solicit the assistance of scientific gentle men throughout the State, in furnishing us with information concerning the names, locality and habits of plants in their immediate vicinity.— Such information will be gratefully and proper ly acknowledged. Postmasters are requested to act as agents in receiving and forwarding us subscriber’s names, as early as the Ist November. The xvork will contain from 5 to 700 pages, octavo, and be furnished to subscribers, in boards, at $5 per copy. It will be issued dur ing the next winter, provided the number of subscribers warrant the expense. All Editors throughout the Southern States, friendly to the diffusion of scientific knowledge, who will insert this notiee, and forward us a copy of their paper, will be entitled to one copy of the work.

I do not expect to sell a right to any one with out their first having seen the machine; but in order to afford an idea of its value, I annex the following certificates, one of them signed by two of the most experienced brick masons in the Southern States. In my absence from Macon, the editors of the Messenger xvill act as my authorized agents. T. L. SMITH. We having witnessed the performance of Mr T. L. Smith’s nexx’ Brick Machine, invented by Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this place, take pleasure in recommending it to the public. The fact of its performance is its best recommendation. We timed it, and find that with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it ina<|£ at the rate of two thousand three hund red and sixty-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, &lc. — together xvith four grown men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to make the above named quantity of the most beautiful brick per day. JOHN SPRINGER, DAVID F. WILSON. I have witnessed the performance of Mr T. L. Smith’s new Brick-making Machine, just put into operation in this place : and have no hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful improvement on any other method of brick making 1 have ever seen, both as to the quality of the brick and expedition in making. By re quest I timed the machine for half an hour ; the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands the machine will turn out of beautiful and well tempered brick, 2,306 in one hour, or about 40 to the minute.

PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. THIS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief ly to Literature, but occasionally find ing room also for articles that fall within the scope of Science ; and not professing an en tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been,as it will continue to be, in the main, original. Party Politics and controversial Theology, as far as possible,are zealously excluded. They are sometimes so blended xvith discussions in i<terature or in moral science, otherwise unob jectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valuable matter to which they ad here : but whenever that happens, they are in cidental, only ; not primary. They are dross, tolerated only becausT it cannot well be ser ved from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy their due space in the work : and it is the Ed itor’s aim that they should have a threefold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting incidents as are embodied in the works reviewed, —to direct the reader’s attention to books that deserve to be read, —and to warn him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which mer it only to be burned. In this age of publica tions that by their variety and multitude dis tract and overwhelm every undiscriminating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to him xvho dors wish to discriminate. Essays, and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both —Historical sketch es—and Reminiscences of events too minute for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten ing its interest, —may be regarded as forming the staple of the xvork. And of indigenous Poetry enough is published—sometimes of no mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our coun try. The times appear, for several reasons, to de mand such a work—and not one alone, but many. The public mind is feverish and irri tated still, from recent political strifes :—The soft, assuasive influence of Literature is need ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad :—They should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lash ed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno rance lords it over an immense proportion of our people : Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in crease their number ; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of our country. And to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can he employed, than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger; if that plan bo but carried out in practice ? The South peculiarly requires such an a gent. In all the Union, south of Washington, there are but txvo Literary periodicals 1 North ward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty ! Is this contrast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo ple, compared with those of the Nothern ? No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, xve may justly claim at least an equality with our breth ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively our oxvn,beyond all doubt affords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri ting, which they enjoy. It was from deep sense of this local want, that the word Southern was engrafted on the name of this periodical : and not with any de sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate supposed local interests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor’s fervent xvisli, to see the North and South bound endearingly togeth er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil ity to the North, he lias already drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draxv, much of his choicest matter thence : and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by making each re gion know the other better, contribute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa ternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now reached the lftth No. of its third volume. How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered, is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how ever, that it falls not further short of them, than human xveakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. No subscription will be received for less than a Volume, and must either begin with the cur rent one—or may commence with Vol. IV, the first number of which will be issued on the Ist January, I>636.—The price is $5 per Volume, | which must he paid in all cases at the time of subscribing. This is particularly adverted to now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis understanding —as no order xvill hereafter be attended to, unless accompanied xvitli the price of subscription. THOMAS YV. YVIIITE. Richmond, Y’a. Oct. 1637. THE HERALD AND STAR. IT cannot be denied that the present state ol our country demands peculiar and well di rected activity on the part of the press to make known the features of the various topics which are now agitating the various portions of the national confederacy. To supply, at a low price, the inland towns with information, at a little delay only, after it has been received in the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should in the end reward such persons as exert their ability for the successful furtherance of this ob ject. The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol a carefully conducted press to disseminate in formation throughout the country, some weeks since issued the first number of the Semi Weekly Herald and Star, which they have found to be suitable to the wants of the inland community, as it furnishes over one hundred newspapers in a year, at the very low price ol txvo dollars This paper is made up from the Daily Herald with such additional matter, in the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements of the markets, and such information respecting sales as may be deemed advantageous to the yeomanry of the land. The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will be found to be in the fact that while it is not engaged in party politics, it reserves to itgelt the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on every subject which concerns the weal of the whole country—and summons to aid, besides the constant supervision of the Editors, valua ble assistants, who are industriously and hour ly exerting themselves to give strength and a bility to their various departments. The Herald and Star is published every Tues day and Friday morning, and mailed on the night previous in order to ensure its speedy transmission by the mails. The price is Two Dollars a year payable in advance ; $2,25 in three months; $2,50 in six mouths ; $3 at the end of the year. The beat method to ensure the reception of the paper is to enclose $2 in a letter addressed to the Pro prietors. HARRINGTON & CO. Boston, 1837.

THE architectural beauty of many of the PUBLIC BUILDINGS of thiscity is pro verbial. They have not only been the pride ol the city, but excite the attention of all stran gers. Believing that it xvould be highly accep table to our numerous patrons, scattered as they are from the Lakes to the Ocean, to be present ed with Splendid Illustrations, from the hands of first rate artists—xve have made ar rangements to bring out a complete series.— They will embrace a correct ani. well executed view of all the PUBLIC EDIFICES, of our city and vicinity, forming in the end a collec tion, that may well be termed the LIONS OF PHILADELPHIA, and which will be present ed to our patrons, without trenching upon the usual variety of our columns. YVhere it may be expedient we will accompany the engrav ings with such descriptions of size and facts of history, as may be of interest. YVe shall begin the publication as soon as xve get several engravings from the hands of the artists, who are now at work upon them. On the appearance of the first view we shall espe cially increase our edition of the Courier, to supply those who may wish to obtain and pre serve these views. The views will also appear regularly in the PHILADELPHIA MIRROR. tETAs a trifling expression of our regard, we shall print the whole series, at their completion, upon fine xvliite paper, in uniform style—form ing a beautiful collection of Views, and present them to such of our country brethren, as inay oblige us by an insertion of this notice. PROSPECTUS OF The Experiment. IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication of 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. “Tiie 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 manifested, 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 xvill contain nearly four times as much matter as it now does. Thus will be afforded greater space for his own lucu brations and those of correspondents, together with Advertisements and judicious selections. It may 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. YVith increased labor and expenditure, he must hope for increased re ward ; and consequently, the subscription price or the second volume will be One Dollar in Advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the e xpiration of the year. This alteration, it will perceived, is not in proportion to the change of size in the paper; the times being hard, we 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 per square for the first insertion, and 25 cents per square for each subsequent insertion. [LfThose who can conveniently pay in ad vance, by doing so, will not only save them selves a heavy interest, but enable us, with more alacrity and advantage, to prosecute the work. F. J. ROBINSON.
