Our friends are informed that this institution
is now in a very flourishing condition, in spite
ot the various rumors attempted to be spread
by those who consider us formidable opponents,
or they would labor to put us down by lair
means. They have reported that we are not
patronized by respectable people, and other
things equally generous and decent. In con
tinuation of the truth of such, we refer all
wishing correct information, to Jesse l'.CirMne.

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 tin? orders which might he
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; am! at
this time but very few complete sets remain on
hand, to supply the numerous orders which are
daily received from every section of the Unit
ed States.
In consequence of this groat unforeseen in
crease of new subscribers, helms 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 he begs to assure the renders 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 Ejoravinos by our best
artists, accompany each number —illustrated
by Tales and spirited Sketches—which will,as
heretofore, continue to be magnificent and tar
superior to those published in any other maga
zine in America.
The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger
quantity of reading than any other magazine
issued in this country, and 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.

ed to him so liberally, has secured the aid ji
Mrs. Awn S. Stephens,
late Editor of the “Portland Magazine," and
author of a series of the most beautiful and
popular tales ever presented to an American
public. No lady possessing greater variety of
talent, or better calculated to aid in conducting
a ladies' magazine, could have been selected
from the galaxy of female genius which is the
glory of our country.
The Musical Department, is under the
ruporvision of Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifica
tions for the task are too well known to require
our testimony.
This department of the Ladies' Companion
has ever commanded a lurge share of attention,
and has been looked upon with no litth* inter
est by its renders, anil more especially the La
dies, whom the publisher is in the highest de
gree anxious to please. It will continue to be
a subject of more than usual care to him, and
to the Pi fessor under whose supervision it is
placed, to make that portion of tin* magazine
allotted to Music, more than ever deserving of
the countenance of every lover of music. It
has ever been and will continue to be the de
sire to have all pieces of Music printed correct
ly and free from errors.
The Work in Genera! - Over every de
partment an equally careful supervision will
be strictly exercised by the Editors, and all ap
propriate expenditures will be liberally bestow
ed, as it is the design of the publisher, with tin*
aid of his contributors and the advice of his
friends to make the l.adns' 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 musie —and
the unequall|A«plendor of its Pictorial Em

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 liimselfthat 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 j
the Ladies’ Comkanion embraces every de
partment within the range of Belles-Lettres a nil
the Fine Arts ; and no exertions or expense will
be deemed too great to render the work equal
tn any other extent. The flattering and gener
al testimonials of nearly every cotcmpnrary
journal in the United States, and in tact, many
on the other side of the Atlantic, have strong] v
asserted the undeniable claims of the Ladies’ '
Companion to the support of the public gener- i
ally. There is no work that gives its nailers !
such a great return for their subscription.
The Prize Articles will all be published
during the year. These articles will comprise
the successful candidates for the premiums of
one thousand dollars awarded by a committee of
literary gentlemen in August last.

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
riAIUS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief-
A ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
scope of Science ; and not professing an en
tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its
matter has been, as it will continue to be, in
| the main, original.
Party Polities and controversial Theology,
as far as possible,are zealously excluded. They
are sometimes so blended w*itli discussions in
| literature or in moral science, otherwise unob
jeetionable, ns to gam admittance lor the sake
of the more valuable matter to which they ad
here : but whenever that happens, they are in*
1 rider,till, only; not primary. They are dross,
tolerated only because- it cannot well be ser
ved from the sterling ore where with it is incor
porated.
Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy
l their due space ill the work : and it is the Ld
j itor’s aim that they should have a threefold
tendency—to convey, in a condensed form,
j such valuable truths or interesting incidents as
are embodied in the works reviewed, —to direct
the reader’s attention to books that deserve to
bo 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 ano multitude dis
tract and overwhelm every uiidiscriininating
student, impartial criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned. is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who does Irish to discriminate.
Kssavs, and Ta lk*, having in view utility
or amusement, or both —Historical sketcii-
Ks _and Reminiscent es of events trto minute
for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
ing its interest, — may he regarded as forming
the staple of the work. And of indigenous
Poet kv enough is published—sometimes of no
mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the
growing poetical taste and talents of our coun
try.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but
many. The public mind is feverish and irri
tated still, from recent political strifes : —The
soft, assuasive influence of Literature is need
ed, to allay that fever, anil soothe that urita
j (ion. Vice and folly arc rioting abroad : —They
Isdinulilbc driven by indignant rebuke, or lash
ed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno
rance lords it over on immense proportion of
our people : Every spring should be set in
motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in
crease their nil.iil er ; 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 he employed,
tlian a periodical, on the f.lu nos the Messenger;
if that plan lie hut carried out in pract ice !
The South peculiarly requires such an a
gent. In all the Union, south of Washington,.
there are but two Literary periodicals I 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 pen- i
pie, compared with tiiose of the Nolhern -
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, v. e may
justly claim at least an equality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
tnr own,beyond all doubt afl’-*rds un. if we
choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
' ting, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense ol this local want,
that the word Soil uin n uiis nigra (t i lon the
name of this periodical : and not with any de
sign to nourish local prejudices.or to advocate
supposed local interests. Far lrom any such
thought, it is the Ed.tor’s fervent wish, to see
the North and South hound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken hands of mutual kind
! ness and ntfectioii. Far from m< dialing haslil-
I itii to the North, he has already drawn, and he
hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest
mailer thence : and happy indeed will lie deem
hmiself, should his pages, by making each re
gion know the other better, contribute in any
essential degree to dispel tile I. Wi ring clouds
| that now threaten the peace of both, and to
hiigliten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa-
I teriinl love.
The Southern Litekauv Messeno nt has
now reached the l! ! th No. of its third volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. Ile believes, how
ever, that it falls not further short of them,
than human weakness usually makes Praclin
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 coimm ice with Vol I\ , the

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 bean spared to ren
der it worthy the patronage and esteem of the
public, and a corresponding spirit will animate
our future exertions. Recent arrangements
liave 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 absolute 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 for the ensuing year, and
that portion of the.papcr more especially known
ins Literary, will be placed under his charge.
The political department, with a general su-
I pervision of the entire work, will remain with
him who has hitherto been known to the pub-
I lie as the editor of the work. The City and
Foreign Department will devolve more espe
cially upon Dr. Eldridge. who will also lend
his aid in advancing the literary reputation of
the paper. It is In-lived by this arrangiuent a
more complete and effective knowledge of the
subjects treated of will be insured, while a
more real and palpable variety—a variety of
j inaiim r as well as matter—will result to our
I journ il and its readers
Os the general character of The New York
er it is unnecessary to speak, since we do not
j propose to change that which it has borne from
i .in • sialillsllliienl. V. imitating for tlie tail two
i years from ti.tltHl to 11.000 copies par week,
through every State and city, and nearly every
county, in the Union -it cannot he presumed
unknown to the educated and intelligent. To
tin ; who have not hitherto made its acquaint
ance, it may lie proper to stati* that it is charac
terized by two objects: the one of combining
the greatest practicable amount of useiu! and
elevating information with the highest genera!
interest; the other, of disseminating truth s i
lar as possible divested of the jaundice of prej
udice and the cant of party. In short, our
motto is impartiality, as distinguish) and from the
■ support of this or that party, clique, or faction,
I whether in literature or politics. In conform
j ing to this outline, great care is taken against
tailing into the pernicious error—move fatal
; than the one we oppose—of suppressing or
i withholding important truth because it has
| been made the theme of partisan conflict- In
regard to literature, we shall freely express our
|ow n opinions, hut accord a fa.r hearing to
| whatever may stand opposed to them. In poli
: tics, our strictures on public men and measures
and political doctrines will evince a freedom
i tempered at all times by courtesy; and it will
; lie our untiring aim to exhibit the views of all
parties and sects, as set forth liy their leaders
j and oracles. In this manner, we hope to ren
j der our journal amort* lucid and perfect histo-
Iry 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 bo given.
| as well as of tin* results of all elections and ta*
! Ides of the popular votes east therein. But
j Without entering further into particulars, we
! may say that we shall endeavor to publish such
i a journal as shall be deemed inferior in merit
i and scope to no weekly periodical; and we
! hope to render it popular without emptying in
-1 to it whole Novels, Annuals and Jest-Books,
i and to win readers anil patrons without offer
ing them a bribe of a dozen romances as a temp
tation.

TO OUR PATRONS AND THE PUBLIC.
The great commercial revulsion of last year.
; and the ruinous derangement of.tlie currency
consequent thereon, combined with the great
inconvenience to which wc were subjected by
the suppression of Small Notes, absolutely

originally too low for such a paper as we have

gether. I ndcr that impression, we now make
the following modifications of our terms of

Dollars and a Half in advance. Five Dollars
tor a year and a halt, three copies a year for

PROPOSALS
Fur publishing , by subscription, a tcork to be
entitled
B ? io ra cor glen sis.
rjPIIIS will he, both a Grammar and Diction
a ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
ble Physiology, anil, second, a minute and ac
curate description of every plant yet discovered
in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox
ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, Ac. Such a work is much needed,
at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We
have no text book in Botany, calculated to
render the science attractive. Such as we
have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry dose iption of a
few leaves, roots, flowers, Ac. all tending to
excite disgust rather than taste. Students
should, ns soon as possible, be inducted into the
practical part of the science—it is thatvmly
which can inspire them with enthusiasm in the
prosecution of their researches. Wc have nev
er known a profound botanist, made so, by
delving for months over pages treating of sap.
utlmmuni, cambium, ami the like. This work
will teach pupils, first, the names of the classes
and orders in tin* Linnean system, the method
of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to the
examining, collecting and arranging of them
into an herbarium. A lure for the science be
ing thus implanted , it must and will increase,
and urge them on to further and further investi
gations.
YVe intend that cur work shall he. at mice, 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 iMnblcs, Ac. Finally, it
will lie enriched with every species of informa
tion which can render such a work entertaining
and instructive.
V, e solicit the assistance of scientific gentle
men throughout the State, in furnishing us with
information concerning the names, locality and
habits ot plants in their immediate vicinity.—
Such information will he gratefully and proper
ly acknowledged.
Postmasters are requested to act ns 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
boards, at tjS5 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 totiie 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,

PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY COURIER
IT HE 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 largestand 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
I times the price paid for subscription—in addi
tion to the immense quantity of other matters
j 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
j shall draw from the pens of such writers as
D Israeli, Miss Mitford,
Capt. Maryatt, Leitcli Ritchie,
Miss Landon, J. R. Buckstone,
j Charles Dickins, Barry Cornwall,
j Cornelius Webb, Douglass Jerrold,
J Theodore Hook, Crofton Croker,
j Thomas Campbell, Mrs. S. C. Hall,
Haynes Bayly, Mrs. Gore,
And, inshort, 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 tiie country.
Besides we have the pleasure of numbering
among our contributors many of the most dis”
i tinguished writers of our country, from whose
| ponsORIGINAL TALES, POEMS, SONGS,
j 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
ot size and lacts of Jjistory, as may be of inter
est.
The Courier is published at the low price of
Two Dollars. For this small aura subscribers
get valuable and entertaining matter each week
(nough 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
