ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS RE WARD. WHEREAS it hat been reported that there ia an outer bar oppoaite the entrance to the Port of Bruuswick, in Georgia, aome miles dis tant from that aurveyed by three Commission ers of the Navy in 1836, and having less water upon the above reward is offered to any per son who will discover any such bar so situated as to sause 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 of Brunswick, having only the depth of six or j eight feet of”water on it at low tide ; a reward ; of five hundred dollars will be paid to any per- j son who shall discover such bar, or any bar | sj situated, which has not an abundant depth of water upon it for the passage of merchant ships of the first class up to the town. The inner bar above alluded to is probably the one described in the following extracts, Ist. From the report of the State Commis sioners, John G. Polhill, Hugh Lawson and Moses Fort, Esquires : ••Between Brandy Point on this island, and Dennis's Folly on the Brunswick shore, there is an inner bar, upon which there is about twelve fact at low water, and, as the tide rises ten feet, it gives the same depth of water that we find on ti«e outer bar, with this advantage, that the bottom being soft mud creates no damage to ! ships and may be very easily deepened if it wore necessary. But no such necessity exists, j rs any ship that crosses the outer bar can run J over tills at high water, and find the best an- ; cborage near the bluff along the whole extent of the town, in from twenty to forty feet water) at tile lowest time of tide. Tills we ascertain-1 ed from careful soundings at low water, and after having finished the soundings fir our selves, ascertained that Stockton’s report and j diagrams confirmed our own survey.” lid. From the report of the Commissioners ofl the Navy, made subsequently to the last: “A slinnl oPKßftmuri. close to and below the i town, on which but 12 feet can be found at low water, seems to indicate some other point in the j harbor as a more suitable position for u navy yard. We believe Blythe Island, on the op- ! posite shore, to lie the most eligible.” Any person making the above discoveries, j will please give information of the same to the Resident Agent of the Brunswick Com- ! panics, and the reward shall be paid in each case to the first successful applicant.

A Aew Advertisement, .2 .Yew Year, ami a .Ytw Inducement, for sub scribing to the lYtekltj Messenger! THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop ular Family Newspaper in the U States, with a circulation of many thousand subscrib ers The American Weekly Messenger is published every Wednesday, on beautiful white paper, of the largest class, at $2 per annum, or ten subscriptions for slll. Its contents are adapted to the wants of the Farmer, Mechanic', Tradesman, Agriculturist, Merchant and Manufacturer. This Journal was commenced on the first of! January last, mid, without any previous effort! to herald its success, went into immediate and rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent ed popularity which attended its projection that, in about six months from the period it was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand names were embraced on its subscription lists! which have been ever since constantly and rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super- i cede in extent and stability every other pub- j lication which has existed in the literary world. It is generally coneeded that the contents of the Messenger embraces as much origimal mutter 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 Fol.le Literature, is the chief object at which it aims. Arrangements have been entered into, by which the publish er will be assisted in the-editorial department by the talents of three or four gentlemen of j distinguished abilities—and it is intended to j introduce several important improvements, ! which will bespeak additional popularity for I its columns. As the character and leading features of this Journal are well known throughout the United States, it will he superfluous to enter into a recital of the same. The season is approach- ! ing. however, when the reading public are ex pected to make their selections for the next year, and we deem it advisable, therefor*', to furnish a brief and explicit statement of our ! terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory. ! and be implicitly observed : A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage ! paid, will pay for ten copies of tile Messenger j lor one year ! A five dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for { one year 1 Two dollars, paid in advance, is; the price of an individual subscription for one rear One dollar, in advance, will pay for a single subscription lor six months only.

PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY COURIER I fTUIE vast patronage which lias been awur | A ded the Courier is the best evidence of j its approval. It has the largest subscription j list in this country. It is the lurgestandchea ! pest Family Newspaper ever issued in the U | nited States, containing articles in Literature, j Science and the Arts ; Internal Improvement, | Agriculture, in short every variety of topics j usually introduced into a public Journal. Giv ! ing full accounts of sales, markets and news of the latest dates Without interfering with the usual variety, the Courier has presented ten of the most popular literature of the day within the last year. This feature puts into the hands of its patrons the most entertaining and popular j current literature, amounting each year to six | times the price paid for subscription—in addi i tion to the immense quantity of other matters * which appear in its columns. In the coutin j uation of this feature we shall endeavor to pre- I sent new and popular works with such expedi ! tion that the publication cannot he anticipated |in other sources. In the future numbers we shall draw from the pens of such writers as D Israeli, Miss Mitfurd, Capt. Maryatt, Lcitch Ritchie, •- Miss Lnndon, J. 11. Buekstone, Charles Dickins, Barry Cornwall, Cornelius Webb, Douglass Jerrold, Theodore Hook, Croften Crokcr, Thomas Campbell, Mrs. 8. C. llall, Haynes Bayly, Mrs. Gore, Countess of Blessington,The celebrated “Boz,” And. in short, from the whole range of the current literature of Europe, with which our arrangements w ill supply us at as early a mo ment as they can lie received in the country. Besides we 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 PUBLIC 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 with such descriptions of size and lacts of history, as maybe of inter* I est. I The Courier is published at the low price of I Two Dollars. For this small sum subscribers j get valuable and entertaining matter each w’eek I enough to fill a common book of two hundred J and fifty pages, and equal to fifty two volumes | a year, and which is estimated lobe read, week ly, by at least two hundred thousand people,] scattered in all parts of the country, from | Maine to Florida, and from the sea board to the ' lakes. This approved Family Newspaper is strictly neutral in religious and political matters, and the uncompromising opponent of quackery of j 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 inay oblige us by an insertion of the above advertisement ' Philadelphia, 1637. PROPOSALS For publishing, by subscription, « work to be entitled Flora Georgiensis. THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Y'egeta i ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac i curate description of every plant yet discovered | in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox j l0 “* properties—its English name—its emblem, I language, Ac. 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 few disconnected facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a [few leaves, roots, flowers, Ac. all tending to excite disgust rather than taste. Students should, as soon as possible, be 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. Tnis work will teach pupils, first, the names of the classes and orders in the Linncan system, the method of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to the examining, collecting and arranging of them into an herbarium. A lore for the science be ing thus implanted, it must and will, increase, and urge them ou 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 ramifies, Ac. Finally, it will be enriched with every species of informa tion which ©an 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 work will contain from 5 to 700 pages, octaTO, 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 notice, and forward us a copy of tlieir paper, will be entitled to one copy of the w ork.

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 will act as my authorized agents. T. L. SMITH. •' 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 its performance is its best recommendation. We timed it, and find that w'itli new moulds and inexperienced hands, it made at the rate of two thousand three bund 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, Ac.—together with 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 I 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,2,3oß 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,arc zealously excluded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature 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 because 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 who docs icish 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 work. 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 be employed, than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger; if that plan be but carried out in practice ? The South peculiarly requires such an a gent. In all the Union, south of Washington, j there are but two Literary periodicals ! 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, we may justly claim at least an equality with our breth ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively our own, 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 i name of this periodical : and not with any de- j sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate supposed local interests. Far from any such [ thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see | the North and South bound endearingly togeth- i er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind- 1 ness and affection. Far from mediating lioslil-\ ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he j hopes hereafter to draw, 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 19th 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, j than human weakness usually makes Practice \ fall short of Theory. No subscription will be received for less than a Volume, and must cither begin with the cur- j rent one—or may commence with Vol. IV, the j first number of which will be issued on the Ist I January, kß3S.—The price is $5 per Volume.! ichich must be paid in all cases at the time ofl subscribing. This is particularly adverted to j now, to avoid misapprehension, or future inis- j understanding—as no order will hereafter be j attended to, unless accompained with the price | of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE. Richmond, Va. Oct. 1837. THE lIERALI) AND STAR. IT cannot be denied that the present state of 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 I 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 Ia carefully conducted press to disseminate in- I formation throughout the country, some weeks j since issued the first number of the Semi j Weekly Herai.d and Star, which they have | found to be suitable to the wants of the inland i community, as it furnishes over one hundred ' newspapers in a year, at the very low price ol two 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 1 sales as may be deemed advantageous to the ! yeomanry of the land. ... j 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 itself i 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 tb 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 | months ; $3 at the end of the year. The best method to ensure the reception of the paper is Ito enclose $2 in a letter addressed to the Pro t prietors. HARRINGTON A CO. i Bo*ton, 1837.

Nov. 23. The Eions of Philadelphia. THE architectural beauty of many of the PL BLIC BLILDINGS of this city is pro verbial. 1 hey have not only been the pride ol the city, but excite the attention of all stran gers. Believing that it would 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—we have made ar rangements to bring out a complete series.— They will embrace a correct am. 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. Where it may be expedient we will accompany the engrav ings with such descriptions of size and facts of history, as may be of interest. W e shall begin the publication as soon as we get several engravings from the hands of the artists, who are now at work upon them. On the appearance ol 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. (ETAsa trifling expression of our regard, we shall print the whole series, at their completion, upon fine white paper, in uniform style—form ing a beautiful collection of Views, and present them to such of our country brethren, as may 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. “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 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 will 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. With increased labor and j expenditure, he must hope for increased rc ! ward ; and consequently, the subscription price j for the second volume will be One Dollar in j advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the j expiration of the year. This alteration, it wiU ! be perceived, is not in proportion to the change j of size in the paper; the times being hard, we I 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 j square for each subsequent insertion, j ffTThose who can conveniently pay in ad j vance, by doing so, will not only save them | selves a heavy interest, but enable us, withi ! more alacrity and advantage, to prosecute the work.
