PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY COURIER
THE vast patronage which has been awar
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 States, 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 with the usual variety,
the Courier has presented ten .volumes 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
current literature, amounting each year to six
times the price paid for subscription—in addi
tion to the immense quantity ol 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 be anticipated
in other sources. In the future numbers we
shall draw from the pens of such writers as
Disraeli, Miss Mitford,
Capt. Maryatt, Leitch Ritchie,
Miss Landon, J. R. Buckstone,
Charles Dickins, Barry Cornwall,
Cornelius Webb, Douglass Jerrold,
Theodore Hook, Crofton Croker,
Thomas Campbell, Mrs. S. C. Hall,
Haynes Bayly, Mrs. Gore,
And, in short, from the whole 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, j
Besides we have the pleasure of numbering
among our contributors many of the most dis- i
tinguished writers of our country, from whose j
pens ORIGINAL TALES. POEMS, SONGS, I
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 tacts of history, as may be of inter
est.
The Courier is published at the low price of
| Two Dollars. For this small 3um subscribers
get valuable and entertaining matter each week
enough to fill a common book of two 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,
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
every kind.
[pj*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.
THE SOUTHERN MAGAZINE,
IS the name by which the new volume of the
“Bachelor's Button, - ' will be designated.
There will be no material change in its appear
ance. Each paper will contain about ti l pages.
Efforts will be made to improve the quality ra
ther than increase the quantity of the matter.
We do not wish to publish any thing that
might be unreadable; and if we were to prom
ise an hundred pages, half of them would nec
essarily be written carelessly. This magazine
is now larger than the subscription price war
rants. The printing expenses, in Mobile, are
twice as much as they would be in New York.
This magazine has not yet received enough
of patronage to sustain it; yet the Editor has
not despaired of being able to give it a firm
foundation. The effort to establish it has, at
least awakened a lively interest in its behalf,
throughout the State; and a very slight exer
tion, on the part of the talented and intellectu
al portions oi society, will ensure it eminent
success.
One thousand subscribers will sustain the
publication. We have now aboutsix hundred.
These are confined to South Alabama, and al
most exclusively to some half dozen towns
North Alabama has taken no interest and giv
en us no subscribers, with but two or three ex
ceptions; yet this is our own fault, as we have
made very little exertion to extend its circula
tion in that section. These facts lead us to be
lieve that Alabama will eventually sustain us.
So far as we have been able to learn, the
manner in which the Literary department of
this Magazine has been conducted, has met
with general approbation. We have been com
plimented, publicly and privately. This gives
us great gratification; and we confidently prom
ise much improvement.
This prospectus will be sent to the postmas
ters throughout the Slate, who are most re
spectfully requested to exhibit it, together with
this number of the Bachelor's Button, as a
specimen; and to act as agents. Our agents
and friends can promote the complete success
of this Magazine, by making very slight exer
tions. Ten per cent, will be allowed on all re
mittances by agents.
Letters addressed to the editor should be
post paid.
Terms. —The Southern Magazine will be
publishcdin the City of Mobile, on the first of
every month: the first number on the Ist of
January, 1838. Price Five Dollars a year in
advance.

numbers of the “Bachelor s Button,”

success, will please insert the prospectus.

, PROSPECTUS
OF THE
j 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 cn
j tire disdain of tasteful selections , though its
matter has been.as it will continue to be, in
I the main, original.
! Partly Politics and controversial Theology.
as 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
I of the more valuable matter to which they ad
| here : but whenever that happens, they are in
cidental, only; not primary. They are dross,
i tolerated only because* It cannot well be ser
ved from the sterling ore wherewith it is iucor-
J porated.
I Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy
their due space in the work : and it is the Ed
j 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 he burned. In this age of publica
tions that by their variety and multitude dis
tract and overwhelm every undiscriminating
student, impartial criticism, governed by
i the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
| him who docs in?it to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
[or amusement, or both— Historical skktcii
j es— and Reminiscent es of events too minute
[ for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
ing its interest, —inay 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.
J The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but
I 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. \ ice and folly are rioting abroad :—They
should bo 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, soutli 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 t
No : for in wealth, talents, and tasfe, 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, w hicli they enjoy.
it was from deep sense of this local want,
that the word Southern was engrafted on tlie
name of this periodical : and not with any de
sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate
supposed local infeiests. 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- j
ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil- j
ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he i
hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest i
matter thence : and happy indeed will he deem i
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 1a- i
ternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has:
now reached the l{Hh No. of its third volume. (
flow far it has acted out the ideas here uttered, i
is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how- i
ever, that it falls not further short of them,!
than human weakness usually makes Praitice
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, tlie
first number of which will be issued on the Ist
January, 1638.—The price is $5 per Volume,
which must he paid in all cases at the time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to j
now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis- \
understanding—as no order will hereafter be j
attended to, unless accompained with the price i
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE, j
Richmond, Va. Oct. le>37.

j A \ew Advertisement,
| A Xetc 1 ear, and a .Yew Inducement, Jor 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 American Weekly Messenger is
published every Wednesday, on beautiful white
paper, of the largest class, at $2 per annum, or
ten subscriptions 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. Sucli 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
namc9 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 has existed 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- J
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 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, therefore, 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 the Messenger
for one year ! A five dollar bill, forwarded by
mail, postage paid, will pa}' for four copies for
one year ! Two dollars, paid in advance, is !
the price of an individual subscription for one
year One dollar, in advance, will pay for a
single subscription for six months only.
A live dollar note will pay one year’s sub
scription to the Weekly Messenger and also
the Gentleman's Magazine, edited by W. E.
Burton, Esq.
[fj'Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled
to tin’ full advantages of the liberal terms here
offered, must be made in sums of five sand
ten’s of current Bank notes—any lesser a
mount, forwarded by mail, will be classed a
long with individual subscriptions.
A premium of FORTY NOVELS, neatly
am! appropriately bound, containing the pro
dui tions of many of the celebrated writers of
the present day, will be presented to any Agent
forwarding forty subscribers, and the pay in
advance, as heretofore stipulated.
At the expiration of the term subscribed for
and paid by clubs, the paper will invariably be
discontinued,unless the advance money is for
warded previous to that time, and the subscrip
tions renewed, in the manner above specified.
It will be a great saving to the publisher,
and facilitate the early mailing of the paper, it
the individual forwarding the sum required lor
four, or ten, or more subscribers, when they
are located together, will allow the package to
be addressed to tire Postmaster, or someone a
mong themselves, who being made acquainted
with the names of the Club, can as readily dis
tribute them as if directed separately.
All letters innst be post paid, or they will
not be taken out of the office. Address

TO PRINTERS.
Ijl WHITE &. WM. HAGER, respectfully
• inform the Printers of the United States,
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
type by hand, a desideratum by the European
founders, was by American ingenuity, a heavy
expenditure of time and money on the part of
our senior partner, first successfully accom
plished. Extensive use of the machine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established its su
periority in every particular, over those east
by the old process.

be carried on bv the parties before named, tin

To I'tlcrchants, Agricultursts,
AND GARDENERS.
GR GARRETSON, has removed his
• wholesale and retail Agricultural and
Garden Seed Whorehouse, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends dealing exten
, sively in the above business, and will be at all
I 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
under his personal attention or direction, or
where it is necessary to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most rospectable
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 of su
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them
easily. And as they yield* a handsome profit,
some explanations maybe requisite in regard to
making sales, &c. They are usually supplied
by the pound or bushel, and will atFord a profit
ol 100 per cent, or more, at the New York re
tail prices. For convenience they can be neat
ly papered and 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 $25
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can he put into 0 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
confident they will be served with none but ar
ticles of the very best quality.
The Proprietor lias further to state, that he
is enabled to furnish all kinds of Books on Ag
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul
ture, Rural Economy, &c. &c. Also, Agri
cultural Implements ofHusbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, Fruit and
Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Flowering
Plants, Roses and Green House Plants of a very
great variety ; all of which can be packed so
as to be transported to any part of the United j
States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at- i
tention has been paid to obtaining both from
foreign countries and at home, the finest agri
cultural seeds, nil of which can be furnished in
largb quantities, and where the purchase is
made lor cash a discount will be allowed. A
liberal credit wilHie given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no dif
ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con
venience, and on this, and every other subject,
tlie suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
60,000 PLANTS of the Clsjpesd Mulberry
or Moms multicaulis, for sale. Qf all the va
rieties of Mulberries for silk, this appears most
eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re
place every where the common White Mulber
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is
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 of them
in full vigor, sufficient to support an immense
number of silk worms. The raising of silk is
as easy as the raising of wheat and much less
laborious. For a number of years past it has
been a regular and profitable employment of
many of the farmers of Connecticut, during the
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 fam
ily may turn their services to profit. Every
family of the most limited means can raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and for a trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling, dtc. The
plants can be packed so as to be transported to
any part of the Uniou and will be furnished in
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod
erate rates. Nov. 16
PROSPECTUS OF
The 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. “Tin 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
expenditure, he must hope for increased re
ward; and consequently, the subscription price
for the second volume will be One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the
expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
be 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 atso cents per
square for the first insertion, and 25 cents pci
square for each subsequent insertion.
QjTThose 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.

entitled
Flora Ueorgiettftis.
THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
ble Physiology, and. second, a minute ana ac
curate description of every plant yet discovered
in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox
ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
; language. &o. 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 we
I have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a
few leaves, roots, flowers, &c. all tending to
, excite disgust rather than taste. Students
should, as soon as possible, be inducted into file'
practical part of the science—K 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 nezt,*to the
examining, collecting and arranging of them
into an herbarium. A love for the science be
ing thus implanted, it must and trilL increase,
and urge them oil to furthei 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 Wiltl
information concerning the names, locality and
habits of plantain 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,
aa early aa the let November.
The work 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 notice, and forward us a
copy of their paper, will be entitled to one copy
of the work. L. LATASTE,

has been accomplished; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown 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 the 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 news 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 therp is still
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it crax’es.
The Select Circulating Library, now aa ever
so great a favorite,, will continue to make ita
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for
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 , fill
ed with hooks, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voyages,Travels, &c., select in •
their character, joined with reading, such as
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; to en
liven and enlighten the family 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 he 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
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume,embracing Novels,Travels,
Memoirs, &c., and only chargeable with News
paper postage.
2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notice*
of books, and information from “the world eif'
letters,” of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
merica.
The price will be TWO DOLLARS toelubn
of five subscribers, where the paper is forward
■ed to one address. The cluba of two individ
; uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib
ers, THREE DOLLARS. The discount 'na
I uncurrent money will be charged to the remit-,
ter; the low* price and superior paper, shea lata -
ly prohibit paying a discount.
tq-On no condition will a jgfcfe
until the payment is received us advance. m
As the arrangements for the prosecution of"
this great literary undertaking, are attmfedo,
and tne proprietor has redeemed, pledges
to- a generous public for many years, no fear of
non-fulfilment of the can tract can be iblt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter eqaal in a
mount to two volumes of Rees’ CrdMedie, Ibr*
the small sum mentioned above. Address (past
