SIXTH YEAR OF WALDIE’S LIBRARY. r|THIS popular periodical, which has been B received with such distinguished favor in all the polished circles in the United States and Canada, entered upon its sixth year on the Ist of January, 1838. Two volumes are published annually, and each complete in itself. The first of every year is the proper time for new patrons to commence their subscriptions. As an evidence of the capacity of the Libra ry to convey intelligence at a cheap rate in the shape of books, it may be mentioned that dur ing the current year it has contained five nov els, four biographies, five travels, numerous re views, fifteen tales, and a great variety of mis cellaneous matter of immediate interest to the literary render.

BOOK AND 108 PRINTING" Dene at this Offie# [CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE | LITERATURE. , rpO say that this is a reading age, implies a I _ desire for instruction, and the means to j gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a i greed ; on the second, there is diversity both jof opinion and practice. We have newspa ; pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of [ all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have j severally their classes of readers and support j ers. And yet copious as are these means ol I intellectual supply, more are still needed. In addition to the review’s of the day nnd 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 of 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 of literature, 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 from the feast of reason and the enjoyment of the covered literary aliment. It is the übjj jectofthe publishers of the Library to obviate these difficul-)ies, 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 compati ble with morality and good taste, w’ill 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, shall he freely put under contribution.— With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in 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. Whilst the body of the work w’illbe a reprint, or at times a translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the 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 full and regular supply of the litqrary, 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 his past literary efforts. TERMS. The work will be published in weekly num bers, in stitched covers, each number contain ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double columns, making two volumes annually, ol more than 520 octavo pages, each volume; and at the expiration of every six months, subscri bers will be furnished with a handsome title page and table of contents. The whole amount of matter furnished in a single year, will be e qual to more than forty volumes of the com mon sized English duodecimo books. The pa per upon which the Library will be printed, will be of the finest quality used for Look work, and of a size admirably adapted for binding.— As the type will be entirely new, and of a neat appearance, each volume when bound, will furnish a handsome as well as valuable, and not cumbrous, addition to the libraries of those who patronize the work. The price of the Library will be Five Dollars per annum, payable in advance. A commission of 20 per ct-nt. will be allowed to agents ; and any agent or postmaster, fur nishing rive subscribers, and remitting the a mount of subscription, shall be entitled to the commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of the work for one year. Editors of new’spapers, to whom this pros pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a bove as often as convenient, and send a copy ot their paper containing the advertisement marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex change for one year.

ON the 24th day of March, 1838, the sub scribers commenced the FiAh Volume of their journal,*both Folio and Quarto edition. No endeavors have thus far been spared to ren der it worthy the patronage and esteem of the public, and a corresponding spirit will animate our future exertions. arrangements have been effected, securing an accession of talent and energy in the editorial conduct of the work, and insuring greater variety as well as strength in this department of the enter prise. It has been deemed a lesson of experi ! ence that the union of all the brunches of edit- ' I orial labor,an a work so comprehensive as ours jin the hands of a single individual—who is thus compelled to pay simultaneous and un j ceasing attention to,Literature, Politics, For eign Affairs, Domestic Occurrences, and every ! subject of interest—is* not so well calculated to secure the highest efficiency in these vari- | ous departments as a system embraces a partial ! though not absolute division of intellectual la bor. Under this conviction, the active assist- ' ance is well as counsel of a gentleman favora- I bly known in the higher walks of Literature,! have been secured lor the ensuing year, and that portion of the paper more especially knowrn . as Literary, will be placed under his charge. The political department, with'a general su- ; per vision of the entire work, will remain with lmn who has hitherto been known to the pub lic as the editor of the work. The City and Foreign Department will devolve more'espe | cially upon Dr. - Eldridge, who will also lend j his aid in advancing the literary reputation of the paper. It is belivedfby this arrangment a I more complete and effective knowledge of the subjects treated of will be insured,' while a | more real and palpable variety—a variety of [ manner as well as matter—will result to‘our journal and its readers Os the general character of The New York er it is unnecessary to speak, since we do not propose to change that which it has borne from its establishment. Circulating for the last two years from <i,ooo to 9,000 copies per week, through every State and city, and nearly every county, in the Union -it cannot he presumed unknown to the educated and intelligent. To those who have not hitherto made its acquaint ance, it may be proper to state that it is charac terized by two objects: the one of combining the greatest practicable amount of useful and elevating information witli the highest general interest; the other, of disseminating truth so far as possible divested of the jaundice of prej udice and the cant of party. In short, our motto is impartiality, as distinguished from the support of this or that party, clique, or faction, whether in literature or politics. In conform ing to this outline, great care isjaken against falling into the pernicious error—more" fatal than the one we oppose—of suppressing or withholding important truth because it has < been made the theme of partisan conflict- In! regard to literature, we shall freely express our ! own opinions, but accord a fair hearing to ] whatever may stand opposed to them. In poli tics, our strictures on public men and measures j and political doctrines will evince a freedom I tempered at all times by courtesy; and it will | he our untiring aim to exhibit the views of al! parties and sects, as set forth by their leaders and oracles. In this manner, we hope to ren der our journal a more lucid and perfect histo ry of the political contests of the times than can fairly be expected from any partisan paper. A concise account of all political movements— conventions, nominations, &c.—will be given, as well ns of the results of all elections and ta bles of the popular votes cast therein. But without entering further into particulars, we may say that wo shall endeavor to publish such a journal as shall be deemed inferior in merit and scope to no weekly periodical; nnd v.e hope to render it popular without emptying in to it whole Novels, Annuals and Jest-Books, and to win readers and patrons without offer ing them n bribe of ad izen romances as a temp tation. The New Yorker is published in two forms— the Folio, or tlie common newspaper form, ev ery Saturday morning, on a large imperial sheet, at Three Dollars per annum, or Fi\’c Dol lars for two copies. Asa further inducement to uniting in subscriptions, five copies will he sent for Ten Dollars remitted absolutely in ad vance, and any larger number in proportion. The Quarto edition is issued every Saturday evening, on a larger and finer sheet, intended expressly lor binding. Each number contains sixteen large pages of three columns each, in cluding a page of popular Music, and exclud ing advertisements. It forms two ample vol umes of 4.12 pages each, per annum, and is af forded at Four Dollars a year. Three copies, however, will be sent for Ten Dollars; and Five Dollars remitted free of charge w ill be credited eighteen months. Subscriptions are respectfully solicited. H. GREELY A. CO.

The great commercial revulsion of last year, and the ruinous derangement of the currency consequent thereon, combined with the <rreat inconvenience to which we were subjected by the suppression of Small Notes, absolutely forced upon us an enhancement of our price, originally too low for such a paper ns we have endeavored to present. These evils have in part ceased; we trust they will soon cease alto gether. Under that impression, we now make the following modifications of our terms of subscription, viz: "for our Quarto edition, Three Dollars and a Half in advance, Five Dollars for a year and a half, three copies a year for Ten Dollars, or five copies a year for Fifteen Dollars. Our Folio paper will be afforded for Two Dollars and a Half per annum in advance; five copies for Ten Dollars. These terms ap ply to payments in advance only. New York, March, 1838. A Card.

THE undersigned, late editor and proprietor of the Augusta Chronicle, having the ex tensive business of that establishment to close, and conscious from long experience, how much such a facility is needed, at least by the Press, is disposed to connect with it a General Agen cy for the collection of A’etrspaper and other Debts, in this nnd the neighboring Southern States, and will travel almost continually to present them himself. Should the business' of sered be sufficient, the agency will he made a permanent one—and while his long connexion with the Press and con'sequeHt knowledge of its peculiar requisitions and benefits from such an Agency, and his extensive personal acquain tance with the localities and people of the coun try, afford peculiar facilities for the perform ance of its duties, he trusts that suitable en quiries will leave no doubt of prompt and faith ! ful attention to them.

Stephens, William W. Snowden. Assisted by many of the most Popular Writers. j Since the publication of the May number the I demand for the Ladies’ Companion has been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine anticipations. At the commencement©? the volume, an additional number of copies were I printed, which was considered at the ti me ade -1 »l ua,e to satisfy all the orders which might be received, and leave considerable number on hand tor subsequent calls. The publisher is more than gratified in stating that the whole edition was nearly exhausted before the issuing of the seventh number of the volume; and at this tune but very few complete sets remain on hand, to supply the numerous orders whichare ' ! da, ly received from every section of the Unit ed States. 1 In consequence of this great unforeseen in crease ol new subscribers, he has determined to double the number of impressions for the sub sequent year; while he most gratefully appre ciates the unprecdenled encouragement ex tended to the Ladies' Companion, and at the same tunc lie begs to assure the readers of tho magazine and the public in general, that it is 1 Ins ardent resolution to meet it with a corres ! P Olulin " liberality en his part to merit its con tinuanee. ; Splendid Steel Engravings by onr best artists, accompany each number—illustrated | by 1 ales and spirited Sketches—which will as | heretofore, continue to be magnificent and far superior to those published in any other maga ! zinc in America. ° j Ihe Ladies Companion contains a larger .ijuantityoj reading than any other magazine usued m ill,, country, nnd its subscription price is only three dollars a year, while the great ! combination of talent secured for the coming year will render it unequalled by any other : periodical. J I ,TS Literary Character! Will under go considerable change, as the publisher of the Ladies' Companion, in order to show his appreciation ol the public favor already extend cd t.. him so liberally, lias secured the aid ot Mrs. Ass S. Stephens, ! late Editor of the “Portland Magazine,” and ■ author ol a series of the most beautiful and popular tales ever presented to an American pub!:,:. No lady possessing greater variety of talent, or better calculated to aid in conducting i a ladies magazine, could have been sei«M|ed from the galaxy of female genius which istho j glory of our country. Tm: Musical Department, is under tho j supervision ol Mr. J. M atson, whose qualifica tions for the task are too well known to requiro our testimony. Th i department of the Ladies’ Companion has ever commanded a large share of attention and has been looked upon with no little inter-* csl by its readers, nnd more especially the La dies, whom the publisher is in the highest de i ! T ,r a ”T< us to please. It will continue to be j a sub ret of more than usual care to him, and to the Professor under whose supervision it is I placed, to make that portion of tlie magazine | allotted t,, Music, more than ever deserving of , the countenance of every lover of music.

Over every de ; partment i-n equally careful supervision will be strictly exercised by tin- Editors, and all ap propriate expenditures will be liberally bestow ed, as it is the design of the publisher, with the j aid of Ins contributors and the advice of his | friends to make the Ladies' Companion distin guished lor the beauty and accuracy of its typo graphy—the rnriety and high tone of its literary ' articles—the quality and value of its music— and the unequalled splendor of its Pictorial Em jiei.l: miments. L '-lie determination of the publisher to use [ every means to maintain the superiorly which the Ladies’ Companion has obtained. For four years Ik- has steadily pursued a course of im provement, and he flattershimself that his pres, sent facilities are such as to give the Ladies' Companion eminent advantages oyer all other publications of its character. broiii tin- foregoing it will be perceived that tile Ladies Companion embraces every de partment v\ i tliin the range of liclles-Lettrcs and llu- Fine Arts ; and no exertions or expense will be deemed too great to render the work equal to any other extent.
