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.

Assisted by many of the most Popular Hntirs. 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. lrs Literarv CnAßJtcTr.it'. Will under go considerable change, ns the publisher of the Ladies’ Companion, in order to show his appreciation of the public favor already extend 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 bellish«*>*nr 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.

(post paid.) WILLIAM W SNOWDEN, Pronrietor. Jan. 1838 BOOK Ai\D JOB PRINTING, at tka 08ie v PROSPECTUS OK Till* 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 first number of which will be issued on the Ist January, 1838. The price is S5 per Volume. which must be paid in uH rases at the time es subscribing. This is particular!v adverted to now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis understanding—as no order will hereafter he attended to. unless accompanied with the price of subscription.

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.

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.
