GR. GARRETSON, iiag removed hi*
• wholesale and retail Agricultural and
Garden Seed Wharehousc, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends dealing exten
sively in the above business, and will be at all
times enabled to furnish dealers and others with
every article in his line of business. And as
the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised
nnder his personal attention or direction, or
where it'is necessary to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most respectable
Seed establishments there, and their qualities
being tested to his own satisfaction, their accu
racy and vitality are expressly warranted.
The vending of Seeds is a business deserv
ing much greater attention from the mercan
tile community than is at present bestowed up
on it. There is scarcely a farmer or planter
who would not purchase an assortment ot su
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them
easily. And ns they yield a handsome profit,
some explanations may be requisite in regard to
making sales, Ac. They are usually supplied
by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
of 100 per cent, or more, at the New York re- ,
tail prices. For convenience they can be neat
ly papered a»d labelled and assorted into boxes
(or put up in strong papers, thereby saving the
expense of box) each suitable fora family gar
den, which will be supplied at from $1 to $2.,
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can be put into li 1-4 and
12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, and assort
ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by
the quantity will be charged so as to allow a
profit of 60 per cent, on the New York retail
prices. Any one wishing to engage in the
vending of seeds, and not having experience,
by addressing the proprietor will have the ne
cessary information given, and they may feel j
confident they will be served with none but ar- ,
ticks of the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to state, that he I
is enabled to furnish all kinds of llooks on Ag
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture. Aboricul
ture, Rural Economy, Ac. &c. Also, Agri
cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, 1 ruit and
Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous 1 lowering
Plants, Roses and Green House Plants ol a very |
great variety; all of which can be packed so
as to be transported to any part of the United
States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at
tention has been paid to obtaining both from j
foreign countries and at home, the finest agri
cultural seeds, all of which can be furnished in
large quantities, and where the purchase is
made for cash a discount will be allowed A j
liberal credit will be given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no d.i- j
ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con
venience, and on this, and every other subject, j
the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
60,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry j
or Morus multkaulis, for sale. Ol all the va- j
rieties of Mulberries for silk, tins appears most i
eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re- j
place every where the common Y\ lute Mulber
ry for the nourishment of silt worms, such is j
its superiority over all others. The tree is
beautiful and of a rapid growth, and will thrive
well in almost any situation, and a few years
are sufficient to raise considerable fields ol them
in full vigor, sufficient to support rni immense
number of silk worms. The raising ol silit is
as easy as the raising of wheat and much less j
laborious. Fora number of years past it has I
been a regular and profitable employment ot j
many of the farmers of Connecticut,during tie j
early part of the summer, and is emphatically •
a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a ,
simple labor, in which females and children ,
who do not essentially aid in supporting a fain- j
iiyonay turn their services to profit. Every j
family of the most limited means can raise the j
mulberry and produce cocoons, anil for a tr■ tlv j
can procure a pamphlet which will give them j
the necessary information of reeling. Ac. The j
plants can be packed so as to be transported ft* j
any part of the Union and will be furnished in i
quantities to suit purchasers,and at very mod- |
crate rates. Ntv 1C

to whom they have been individually known
as established letter founders, that they have
now formed a co-partnership in said business,
and an extensive experience, they hope to be ’
able to give satisfaction to all who may favor .
them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in place of
the tedious and unhealthy process of casting 1
type by hand, a desideratum by tiie European
founders, was by American Ingenuity, a heavy
expenditure of time and money on the part ot j
our senior partner, first successfully aecom
plished. Extensive use of tho machine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established its su
periority in overv particular, over those cast
by the old process.
The letter foundry business will hereafter
be carried on by the parties before named, un

one of the great objects of- Waldie s Library,”
| j u to make good reading cheaper, and to bring
1 Literature ~10 every man's door.” This object
has been accomplished ; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
1 society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
rary. information to all. We now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet, mere than tv. o fold ac
cessible; we gave, and shall continue to give, 1
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day : we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, lor iess than four rents a
tree/,-, and to add. as a piquant seasoning to the ,
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters, '
and a summary of the news and events ol the
day. We know, bv experience and calcuia- ;
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and we feel, that theic is still .
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an j
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 for
binding and preservation, and its price and j
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 j
America, but on very superior paper, also, fill
eel 1' itii boohs, ofthe newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments ol j
Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, Ac., select in j
their character, joined with reading, such as
should till a weekly newspaper. By this meth- ■
oil, we hope to accomplish a great good ? toen- !
liven and enlighten the family ci:r!e, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to anv, a mass of reading, that, in
book form, would alarm the pockets ot' the pru
dent. and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge tiie power ol
concentration can no farther go.” No book,
which appears in Waldie t Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which wili be an
entirely distinct periodical.

LAIiEY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATE RE,
T’O say that this is a leading age, implies a
desire lor instruction, and the means to
gratify that desire, on the lirst point, all are a
greed ; 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
irs. And yet copious as are these means ol
intellectual supply, more arc still needed. In
addition to the reviews of the day and passing
notices of books,,tlic people in large numbers,
in nil parts of cur great republic crave the pos
session of the books themselves, and details,
beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress
ol' discovery in art and science. But though it
be easy to ascertain and express tlieir wants, it
is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis
tance from the emporium of literature, engross
ing occupations, which prevent personal appli
cation of even messages to libraries and book
sellers, ore so many causes to keep people al
way trom the feast of reason and the enjoyment
of the covered literary aliment It is the ob
ject ofthe publishers ofthe Library to obviate
these difficulties, and to enable every individ
uul, at a small cost and without any personal
effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his
tavored 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 tlie reader.
The charm of variety, as far as it is eompati
hie 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
try. snail be freely put under contribution.—
With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in
tend*’ U to give entire the work winch shall be
selected for publication. 'VYhoii circumstances
authorize the measure, recourse will Le had to
the literary stores oi Continental Europe, and
translations made trom French, Italian or Ger
man, as the ease may he.
A A hilst the body ofthe work will be a reprint,
or at times a translation of entire volumes, the
cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
ol a magazine, and Consist of sketches of men
ami tilings, and notices of novelties in literature
and the arts throughout the civilized world.—
A full and regular supply ofthe literary, month
ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain
and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of
a similar character, cannot fail to provide am
ple materials for this part of our work.
The resources and extensive correspondence
of the publishers are the best guarantee for the
\ continuance of the enterprize in which they
are about to embark, as well as for the 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 satisfi
ed. as the editor of the Library is not a stran
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
their favorable suffrages for Ins past literary
efforts. TERMS.

A \f w Advertisement,
A ,\ew Year , and a .Xctr Inducement,for sub
scribing to the Weekly Messenger !
THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop
ular Family Newspaper in the U States,
with a circulation of many thousand subscrib
ers The Axsrican Weekly Messenger is
published every Wednesday, on beautiful white
paper, ofthe largpsi class, at $2 per annum, or
ten snbscriptions for $lO.
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, and, 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
cede in extent and stability every other pub
lication which hasexisted in the literary world.
It is generally conceded that the contents of
the Messenger embraces as much' origimal
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 Polite 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
distinguished abilities—and it is intended to
introduce several important improvements,
which will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this
Journal are well known throughout the United
States, it will be superfluous to enter into a
recital ol the same. The season is approach
ing, however, when the reading public are ex
pected to make tlieir selections for the next
year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
lurnish a brief and explicit statement of our
terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory,
and be implicitly observed :

HAVIN G received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and now in successful ope
ration in this place, 1 take .his method of an
swer ng them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to con.c and see the opera
tion ofthe machine, and if there be anyone
who says he is disappointed in his expectations,
I bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip.
I do not expect to sell a right to any one with
out tlieir first having seen tile machine ; but in
order to afford an idea of its value, 1 annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
two ofthe most experienced br.ck 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
with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three liund
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 of!', and four to sand
the moulds, Ac.—-together with Tour grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

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, 2,30?* in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

THE subscribers tender their thanks to the
gentlemen of Glynn County for the lib
eral patronage they have received and hope by
their contained exertions and untiring attention
to business, to merit further patronage. They
intend in the fall to open as splendid an assort
ment of GOODS in their line, as will be found
in any other establishment of the kind in the
city ot Darien. They again invite the public
to call and judge for themselves.
Their establishment will remain open during
the Summer and all orders punctually attended

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 ol tasteful selections, though its
matter has been, as it will continue to be. in
the main, original.
Party Politics and controversial Theolooy.
ns far as possible,are 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 w henever that happens, they are in
cidental, only; not primary. They are dress
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 undiscriininating
student, impartial criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries to
him who does 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 work. And of indigenous
Poetry enough is published—sometime's of no
mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the
growing poetical taste and talehts 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
solt, 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 tlieir fitting haunts. Igno
rance lords it over an immense proportion of
our people : Every spring should Le set in
motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in
crease their number ; so that the great enemy
of popular government may no longer broed,
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 requ res such an a
gent. lu all the Union, south of Washington,
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 ce/ualitij with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution cxclus.vely
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
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 wish, 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 has already drawn, and he
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 tics of fa
tcrnal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the 11 th No. of its third volume,
llow far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. lit* believes, how
ever. that it falls not further short of them,
than human weakness 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. TV, the
first number ot which will be issued on the Ist
January, 1638. The price is $5 per Volume,
which must be paid in all rases at the time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis
understanding—as no order will hereafter be
attended to, unless accompanied with the price
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE.

TIIE HERALD 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
in the end reward such persons as exert tlieir
ability tor 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
\V eekev 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
two dollars This paper is made up from the
Daily Herald with such additional matter, in
the shape ol stories, legends, poetry, statements
ofthe 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 itself
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 arc industriously and hour
ly exerting themselves to give strength and a
bility to their various departments.
The Herald and Star is published every Tucs]
day and Friday morning, and mailed on the
night previous in order to ensure its speedy
transmission by the mails.
The price is Two Dollar* 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.
to enclose $2 in a letter addressed to the Pro
prietors. HARRINGTON A CO
