The Ijodies l Companion,
[ESTABLISHED IN 1834,]
A popular and highly esteemed Magazine, oj
general Literature and the Fine Arts, ernbell,
ished with Gorgeous and Costly Engravings
on Steel, Copper and Wood; and also with
Fashionable and Popular Music, arranged for
the Piano-Forte- , Guitar and Harp.
EDITORS.
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens,
William W. Snowden.
Assisted by many of the most Popular Writers.
Since the publication of the May number, the
demand for the Ladies' Companion has been
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of the
volume an additional number of copies were
printed, which was considered at the time ade
quate to satisfy all tlie orders which might be
received, and leave considerable number on
hand for 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 time but very few complete sets remain on
hand, to supply the numerous orders which arc
daily received from every section of the Unit
ed States.
In consequence of this great unforeseen in
crease of new subscribers, he has determined to
double the number of impressions for the sub
sequent year; while he most gratefully appre
ciates the unpreedented encouragement ex
tended to the Ladies’ Companion, and at the
same time lie begs to assure the readers of the
magazine and the public in general, that it is
his ardent resolution to meet it with a corres
ponding liberality on his part to merit its con
tinuance.
Splendid Steel Engravings by our host
artists, accompany each number—illustrated
| by Tales and spirited Sketches—which will, as
j heretofore, continue to be magnificent and far
j superior to those published in uny other inaga-
I zine in America.
The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger
quantity of reading than any other magazine
issued in this country, and its subscription
j price is only three dollars a ycur, while the great
combination of talent secured for the coining
year w ill render it unequalled by any other
i periodical.
| Its Literary Character! Will under
go considerable change, as the publisher of
the Ladies’ Companion, in order to show his
appreciation of the public favor already extend
ed to him so liberally, lias secured the aid at
Mks .A n n S. S r li'ii r. ns ,
late Editor of the “Portland Magazine,” and
author of a series of the most beautiful and
popular tules ever presented to an American
I public. No lady possessing greater variety of
j talent, or better calculated to aid in conducting
j a ladies’ magazine, could have been selected
j from the galaxy of female genius which is the
i glory of our country.
The Musical Dli'artmknt, is under the
| supervision of Mr. J. Watson, whose qualitiea
j tions lor the task are too well know n to require
our testimony.
This department of the Ladies' Companion j
lias everroniinanded n large share of attention, !
and has been looked upon with no little inter
est by its renders, and more especially the La
dies, whom the publisher is in the highest de
gree anxious to please. It will continue to he
a subject of more than usual care to him, and
to the Professor under whose supervision it is
placed, to make that portion of the magazine
allotted to Music, more than ever deserving of
the countenance of every lover of music. It
lias ever been and will continue to be the de
sire to have nil pieces of Music printed correct
ly and free from errors.
The Work in General. Over every de
partment an equally careful supervision will
lie strictly exercised by the Editors, and all ap
propriate expenditures will bo liberally bestow
ed, as it is the design of the publisher, with the
aid of his contributors and the advice of his
friends to make the /. adits' Companion distin
guished for the beauty and accuracy of its typo
graphy—the variety and high tone of its literary
articles — the. quality and value of its music —and
the unequalled splendor of its Pictorial EM
BELLISHMENTS.
It is the determination of the publisher to use
every means to maintain the superiorly which
the Ladies’Companion has obtained. For four
years he has steadily pursued a course of im
provement, and he flatters himself that his pres
sent facilities are such as to give the Ladies’
Companion eminent advantages over all other
publications of its character.
From the foregoing it will he perceived that
the I.aoies' Companion embraces every de
partment within the range of BtUes-Lettrts and j
the Fine Arts ; and no exertions or expense will
be deemed too great to render the work equal
to any other extent. The flattering and gener
al testimonials of nearly every cotemporary
journal in the United States, and in fact, many
on the other side of the Atlantic, have strongly
asserted the undeniable claims of the Ladies'
Companion to the support of the public gener
ally. There is no work that gives its readers
such a great return for their subscription.
The Prize Articles will all he published
during the year. These articles will comprise
the successful candidates for the premiums of I
one thousand dollars awarded by a committee of j
literary gentlemen in August last.
TERMS—Three dollars a year in advance,
or four during the year. No subscription re
ceived for less than one year.

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
THE SOUTHERN MAGAZINI,
IS the name by which the new volume ofthe
“Bachelor’s Button,” will be designacd.
There will be no material change in its appar
ance. Each paper will contain about G 4 pa, - cs.
Efforts will be made to improve the qualityra
ther than increase the quantity of the mater.
We do not wish to publish any thing hat
might be unreadable; and if we were to prem
ise an hundred pages, half of them would irc
essarily be written carelessly. This magczne
is now larger than the subscription price var
rants. The printing expenses, in Mobile, are
twice as much as they wotlld be in New Yirk.
This magazine bas not yet received en«ugh
of patronage to sustain it; yet the Editor has
not despaired of being able to give it a irm
foundation. The effort to establish it hat. at
least awakened a lively interest in its beialf,
throughout the State; and a very slight »er
tion, on the part of the talented and intellr.tu
al portions of society, will ensure it emiient
success.
One thousand subscribers will sustaii the
publication. We have now aboutsix huntred.
These are confined to South Alabama, attl al
most exclusively to some half dozen tovns
North Alabama has taken no interest and giv
en us no subscribers, with but two or threi ex
ceptions; yet this is our own fault, as we lave
made very little exertion to extend its circula
tion in that si ction. These facts lead us t> be
lieve that Alabama will eventually sustain us.
So far as we have been able ts learn, the
manner in which the Literary departmeit of
this Magazine has been conducted, has met
with general approbation. We have been'om
plimented, publicly and privately. This fives
us great gratification; and we confidently p om
iso much improvement,
Letters addressed to the editor shoull be
post paid.
Terms. —The Southern Magazine wil be
published'in the City of Mobile, on the fi st of
every month: the first number on the lit of
January, 1838. Price Five Dollars a yefr in
advance.
Subscribers can be furnished with the Yack

PROSPECTUS
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
riAIIIS is a monthly Magazine devoted .'Jiiof-
J- ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
scope of Science ; and not professing at en
tire disdain of tasteful selections, thougi its
matter has been, a* it will continue to b(, in
the main, original.
Party Politics and controversial Theology,
as far as possible,are zealously excluded. They
are sometimes so blended with discussiois in
literature or in moral science,otherwise unob
jectionable, as to gain admittance for the ->ake
of the more valuable matter to which they ad
here : but whenever that happens,they are in
cidental, only ; not primary. TheyJare d'oss.
tolerated only because it cannot well be ser
ved from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor
porated.
Reviews, and Criticai. Notices, occupy I
their due space in the work : and it is tin 1 Ed- j
itor's aim that they should have a threefold ;
tendency —to convey, ill 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 Irish 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 enuu
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, assunsive influence of Literature is need
ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita
tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad :—They
should In- 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 in a
gent. In 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 Nutliern ?
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 ami 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
thougflit, 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 , lie 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 ties of fa
ternal love.
The Soithf.rv Literary Messenger has
now reached the liitli 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 weakness usually makes Practice
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will lie 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, ls3S.—The price is jjlio per Volume,
trhich must be 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 will hereafter be
attended to, unless accompained with the price i
of subscription. THOMAS W. WJJITE. j

THE NEW YORKER.
ON the 24th day of March, 1838, the sub
scribers commenced the Fifth 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. Recent 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 branches of edit
orial labor, in a work so comprehensive as ours
in the hands of a single individual—who is
thus compelled to pay simultaneous and un
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 absolut'* division of intellectual la
bor. Under this conviction, the active assist
ance as well as counsel of a gentleman favora
bly known in the higher walks of Literature,
have been secured lor the ensuing year, and
that portion of the paper more especially known
as Literary, will be placed under his charge.
The political department, with a general su
pervision ol the entire work, will remain with
him who has hitherto been known to the pub
lic as the editor of the work. The City and
, Foreign Department will devolve more espe-
I cially upon Dr. Eldriiige, who will also lend
l hi. aid in advancing the literary reputation of
I the paper. It is bclived by this arrangment a
more complete and effective knowledge of the
subjects treated of will be insured, while a
I more real and palpable variety—a variety of
j mainif r as well as matter —will result to our
i 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 lias borne from
its establishment. Circulating for the last two
years from 0,000 to 9,000 copies per week,
through every State and city, and nearly every
county, in the Union —it cannot be 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 with 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 ol this or that party, clique, or faction,
whether in literature or politics. In conform
ing to this outline, great care is taken against
falling into the pernicious error—more fatal
than the one wc oppose—of suppressing or
withholding important truth because it lias
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 inay stand opposed to them. In poli
tics, our strictures on public men and measures
and political doctrines will evince a freedom
tempered at all times by courtesy; and it will
be our untiring aim to exhibit the views of all
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, Ac. —will be given,
as well as 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 we shall endeavor to publish such
a journal as shall be deemed inferior in merit
and scope to no weekly periodical; and we
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 a bribe of a dozen romances as a temp
tation.
The New Yorker is published in two forms—
the Folio, or the common newspaper form, ev
ery Saturday morning, on a large imperial
sheet, at Three Dollars per annum, or Five Dol
lars forjjtwo copies. Asa further inducement
to uniting in subscriptions, five copies will be
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 for 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 432 pages each, per annum, and is af
| forded at Four Dollars a year. Three copies,
however, will be sent fo'r Ten Dollars; and
Five Dollars remitted free of charge will be
credited eighteen months. Subscriptions are
respectfully solicited.

TO OUR PATRONS AND TIIE PUBLIC. I
The groat commercial revulsion of last year, I
and the ruinous derangement of the currency!
consequent thereon, combined with the great'
inconvenience to which we were subjected bv j
the suppression of Small Notes, absolutely
forced upon us an enhancement of our price,
originally too low for such a paper as we have
endeavored to present. These evils have in j
part ceased; we trust they will soon cease alto- J
gether. Under that impression, we now make I
the following modifications of our terms ofl
subscription, viz: for our Quarto edition. Three j
Dollars and a Half in advance, Five Dollars
for a year and a half, three copies a year for i
Ten Dollars, or five copies a year for Fifteen 1
Dollars. Our Folio paper will be afforded for j
Two Dollars and a Half per annum in advance;
five ropies for Ten Dollars. These terms ap- j
ply to payments in advance onlv.

PROPOSALS
For publishing, by subscription, a work to be
entitled
Flora Georgiensis.
THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ary of Botany ; —(fresenting, first, Vegeta
ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac
curst, description of every plant yet discovered
in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox
ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, &c. 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, dfcc. 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. 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 lore 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 onr 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 work will contain from 5 to 700 pages,
| octavo, and be furnished to subscribers, in
j boards, at $5 per copy. It will be issued dur-
I ing the next winter, provided tire number of
subscribers warrant the expense.

they arc 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 of su
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them
easily. And as they yield a handsome profit,
some explanations may be requisite in regard to
making sales, &c. They are usually supplied
by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
ol lUO 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 be put into 6 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 80 per cent, on the New York retail
prices. _ Any one wishing to engage in the
vending of seeds, and not naving 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 has 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 ofllusbandry 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
States, YVest Indies or elsewhere. Great at
tention has been paid to obtaining both from
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
liberal credit willjbe 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,
the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
50,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Moms multicautis, for sale. Os 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 evt.._, “where the common White Muiher-"
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is
its superiority over all others. The tree is
| beautiful and of a rapid growth, and w-ill 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 j
mulberry and produce cocoons, and for a trifle !
can procure a pamphlet which will give them !
the necessary information of reeling. Ac. The I
plants can be packed so as to be transported to
any part ot the Union and will be furnished in '
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod-1
crate rates. Nov. 16 1

TO PRINTERS.
E WHITE &WM. HAGER, respectfully
• inform the Printers of the United States,
to whom they have been individually known
as established letter founders, that tney 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 furor
them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in place of
the tedious and unhealthy proeess 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
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' cast
by the old process.

PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY COURIER
THE vast patronage which has been awar
ded the Courier is the best evidence of
its approval. It has 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 new*
of the latest dates. i»
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 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 be anticipated
in other sources. In the future numbers we
shall draw from the pens of such writers as
D’lsraeli, 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 sange 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 we have the pleasure of numbering
among our contributors many of the most dis”
tinguished writers of our country, frpm whose
pens ORIGINAL TALES, POEMS, SONGS
NARRATIVES AND SKETCHES, will con
tinue to add interest to its columns.
The Architectural beauty of many bfihe
TUBLIC 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 w ell be termed, THE LIONS OF PHIL
ADELPHIA. Where it is expedient, we ac
company the engravings with such descriptions
of size and (acts of history, as may be of inter
est.
The Courier is published at the low price of
Two Dollars, For this small sum subscribers
get valuable and entertaining matter each week
enough to fill a common book of tUfo 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 1 lorida, and from the sea board to the
lakes.
