PROSPECTUS ' OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE PARLO UR MAG A ZINE. A weekly paper, devoted to Literature, and the Fine Arts; the Drama; the Fashions; Tales; Essays; Biographical Sketches; the History of Women; Harmless Satire; Reviews of New Works, ts-c.; and embellished with superior En gravings; Fine Wood Cuts; Plates of the Fashions; and Music. Price $3, payable In advance. THE PARLOUR MAGAZINE is now in the meridian of its popularity, and as in spiring hopes without a shadow, and cloudless prospects without a horizon, continue to cheer it on its way, we may reasonably anticipate for it a long day of triumph. For general appearance, mechanical arrange ment, and typographical execution, it may just ly assert its claims to rank among the most beautiful periodicals in the United States. The Literary department is contributed toby many of the ablest writers in the country—men whose names, if they gave us permission to use them, would save us the trouble of circulating onr claims on the public through the medium of a prospectus. For selections, the literary gardensof all A mcrica and half Europe are open to us; so that if we fail in this particular, the defect must be only attributed to our own want of taWe. The “Fashions” shall meet with all due at-i tention. We have made arrangements to ob- j tain the earliest intelligence from London and Paris, in respect of the various changes, which shall be inserted as soon as received. The PARLOUR MAGAZINE shall be oc casionally embellished with beautiful Engrav ings upon interesting subjects; and plates of the newest fashions, plain or colored, as circumstan ces will permit; besides wood cuts in great va riety, and apiece of original or well selected Music, at least twice a month. Highly finished portraits of all the great British and American poets,from Chaucer down wards, are in preparation, and will appear in the Magazine from time to time, with a general critique on the author’s works, annexed to each; the head and review of Shakespeare will be forthcoming in February—Bryant’s will fol low. To this paragraph we would especially call the readers attention, as the undertaking is one of great interest, expense and labor. The likenesses shall all be taken from portraits by the best masters. The PARLOUR MAGAZINE is printed on super-royal paper, in quarto form, and stitched in a handsome cover. JNO. M. MOORE Office, 67 Libertj'-street, New-York. _________ FOR publishing a Miscellaneous Paper to beentitled “THE ALCHYMIST.”’To be devoted to Literature, Science and the Mar vellous.

It will invariably exclude all political, religious, or pro fessional discussions, and stick to useful and en tertaining matter only. The Alchymist will be published weekly in a quarto form, on a super royal sheet, at Colum bns. Geo., by Charles F.

OR THE NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE THIS Periodical having passed into the hands of the undersigned, will hereafter be issued with punctuality on the first of everj month, and in a style of typographical execu tion, which it is designed shall not be surpassed by any similar Periodical in this country. The proprietors will use their endevors to avoid the examples of their predecessors, in liberal prom ises and scanty fulfilments. The work is here after todepend, rather upon thecharacter which it shall be able to acquire, than upon extraordi nary announcements of the prospective excel lence to which it is to arrive. The Editor will receive in its subversion the constants assist ance of his brother Willis Gaylord Clark, of Philadelphia; and no exertions will be left un employed to render the work honorable to American Periodical Literature, and accepta ble to the public, whose patronage is only so far solicited as it shall seem to be deserved. The original papers—which it is designed shall be so varied, as to form a combination of the solid and useful with the entertaining and agree able—will be from literary pens of established reputation, (both athome and abroad,) in dif ferent cities and portions of the United States In addition to the original papers, liberal space will be devoted, under the head of Liter ary Notices, to brief and candid reviews of new works, of proper distinction, with such extracts as may be necessary to add interest, or to evince the justice of the accompanying criticism A Monthly Compendium will also be given, comprising, in a succinct form, all events of importance which may have occurred during the month, with such remarks, or illustrative comments, as they may demand. The general intelligence of the several States—political, sta tistical, and domestic—arranged under their separate heads, will be embraced in this depart ment. Brief Obituary Notices of eminent per sons who may have deceased during the month, will likewise be given. The Editor’s Table will be devoted to the familiar discussion of such local or geneal mat ters, as could not, with propriety, be classed under the above named heads. If an earnest desire to raise up a National Periodical which shall do honor to American Literature—if unwearied industry and exertion , on the part of the conductors—the employment in its pages of much of the best literary talent | of the country—if the beauty of execution, and I early and punctual transmission, can insure its ' succe it is confidentlybelieved thatthe Knick- J erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor i LEWIS GAYLORD" CLARK, CLEMENT M. EDSON. TYPE FOUNDRY?" E. WHITE WM. HAGER. RESPECTFULLY inform the Printers of ! the United States, to whom they have ; longbcefi individually known as Letter Found ers, that they have now formed a Copartner- j ship in said Business, and hope from their uni ted and extensive experience, to be able to give full satisfaction to all who may favor them with ! their orders. The introduction of Machinery, in place of 1 the tedious and unhealthful process of casting type by hand, a desideratum fell by the Euro pean and American founders, was by Ameri can ingenuity, and at a heavy expenditure of time and money, on the part of our senior part ner, first successfully accomplished. Exten sive machine cast letter has fully tested and es tablished its superiority in every particular, over that cast by the old process. The Letter Foundry Business will be carried on by the parties before named, under the firm of WHITE, HAGAR & CO. Their specimen exhibits a complete series from Diamond to 14 lines Pica; the Book and j News Type being in the most modern and light | style. WHITE, HAGAR &CO. are agents for the sale of the Smith’s Printing Presses,which they can furnish to their customers at the Manufac turer’s prices. Chases, Cases, Composing Sticks, Ink and every article used in the Printing business, kept for sale, and furnished at short notice. Old Type taken in exchange for new at 9 cents per pound. N. B.—Newspaper proprietors who give the abovethree insertions, will be entitled to five dollars in such articles as thev may select from our specimen. E. WHITE. New-York, August 7. WM. HAGAR. PROPOSALS. For Publishing in the Town of Wetumpka, Al abama, a weekly paper to be entitled the WETUMPKA TIMES. Wetumka being situated at I the head of Steam Boat navigation on the Coosa river, and being justly estimated as an important point where thecommerceof an exten sive, rich productive district of the country must concentrate; a paper being deemed by the sub scribe! necessary to the people who reside in the Town, and to those who must trade there, as a sort of Messenger between the agricultural and commercial population—he, therefore proposes to establish a Journal in the Town of Wetump ka, under the title which heads this prospec tus. Ihe object of the Times is not to effect any party views whatever, and therefore, will not be the organ ol any faction, or the tool of any party but will be devoted to the dissemination of correct and useful information and to the main tenance of the rights and interests of the peo ple. Its columns will at all times be open to men or all parties and all opinions—also to a frank, tree and full discussion of all the politi cal questions vitally affecting the interestsand l well being of National the Government and the i cause ot liberty against anarchy and misrule. A summary view of all important events happening in any part of the United states, and a summary ol all foreign intelligence whether i civil or political, deemed to be of an important ; or interesting character, together with a correct ! account ol the Market of this and other places will be sevisedby the practical merchant, and : published weekly. It will bethe endeavor of the publisher to furnish I his patrons with all important news on any and every subject calculated to benefit the public, . and to present them with such original and se i lectcd articles as may be of an instructive or en i tertaining nature. He, also pledges himself, to : spare no exertion:, on his part io render the Times worthy thepatronagc of an enlightened ! and generous community. TERMS. Ihe Times will be issued on a Superroyal i sheet, at ?>3 50 in advance—s 4if paid within six months—or 5 dollars at the close of a vear. I Advertisements will be inserted at the usual rates. HENRY LYON. . Wetujnpka, Ala. Jan. 22<i 1835. TO THE PUBLIC, subscriber, having purchased the l Southern Agriculturist (voxn. its late Edi j tor and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, soli cits the support bl the friends of Agriculture, and of the interests connected with it, through out the Southern States. He has published this work tor Mr. Legare from its commence ment, in the year 1828, and heisthus practical ly acquainted with the inode in which it should be conducted. Its publication willbecontinue 1 on thes<me 4?and in the same manner as heretofore, with such improvomenls as his ex perience may suggest. As the subscriber is solicitous to make this Journal the vehicle for disseminating useful in formation, not only with regard to established systems of Husbandry, but also experimental efforts in Agriculture and Horticulture, he in vites free nnd unrestrained communications from all persons occupied in these pursuits.— Let no one imagine that solitary facts or iso lated experiments aretoo trivial to be commu nicated. All systematic knowledge is but the aggregate ofhnmble particulars; and Science, in every department, is brought to perfection, not through the instrumentality of a single ex traordinary mind, but by the contributions of particulars by many individuals, and generally after the lapse of many years. He is desirous, therefore, to have as many facts to record as ean be furnished; and from the Planter, who issys tematic in his experimental labors, an account ol his failures as well as of his successful ef forts, will be acceptable. If the last are worthy of being recorded that they may be imitated, the first merit to be noted in order to be shunned. The Subscriber hopes that this appeal to his fellow-citizens of the South, will not be in vain. It would be a reproach to our Planters to suffer this Periodical to meet the fate of the Southern Review. Os the last it may be justly said, that it was suffered to fall, when it was not only rear ing for us a well merited fame as a literary i people, but it was also vindicating the. Southern | character and Southern habits from the unjust ! aspersions which have been so liberally bestow ied upon us out of our section of country. The : “ SOUTHERN AGRICULTURIST" in some measure supplies the place of the Southern Re i view, so far as regards the circumstances last alluded to. It serves as a Register not only of I methods of Husbandry, but also of facts relating m our system es Slavery. The subjects of the i discipline, the treatment, the characters of our 1 Slaves, are fairly suited to its pages, and con- I stitute topics as interesting and important as any , which can engage either our own attention or ; the attention of those abroad, who feel alegit i imate interest in our concerns. The Subscriber begs leave, in conclusion, to remark, that if he had not undertaken to con ; tinue the publication of this Periodical, it most ' probably would have been either removed from ; our city, or been suspended. Whether it will I be in his power to continue it, will depend not ; only on the pecuniary but the Literary Con tributions of Southern Planters. He confident ; ly now leaves this matter in their hands, feel -1 ng a full assurance that there is wanting on he part of our Planters, neither the liberality nor mental energies necessary to sustain the 1 Southern Agriculturist. A. E. MILLER. Charleston, S.C., Dec. 1, 1831. TO i»RINTERS<‘ FWIHE publication of the “ North Carolina JL Spectator and Western Advertiser,” and , the Printing business connected with it, for some, time under the Editorial management of Mr. Rus well Elmer, Jr. bein" about to be relin- I quishedby him, for some otfier pursuit, it be comes necessary to engage the services of anoth ! er competent individual, to take charge of the i concern. The Press is an excellent snpep-royal, cast ; iron, Washington or Rust Press, equal to any in the State, to which is attached Composition Rollers and Fixtures. The Types consists of fonts of Long Primer, 350 lbs.; Brevier 160 lbs.; Pica; 60 lbs.; Double Small Pica, 50 lbs.; togeth er with a complete assortment of job type, cuts, rules, &c. &c., carefully selected and suited to the business of a country Printing Office, all nearly new, and in good condition. The Spectator has enjoyed a liberal patron age, and has now quite a respectable list of sub scribers, and an extensive and profitable circle of job work. It is proposed to lease it for a term of one or more years. Toone who combines practically, a knowledge for printing, with capacity for the Editorial managementoftheconcern, this would doubtless be a profitable situation. It may not be amiss to say, that the political cour.'e and principles hitherto supported hv the “Spectator,” have been those of the “ Jefferso nian School,” and it is believed a majority of this community entertaining the same princi ples, would be more likely to patronize a con tinuance than a departure from them.

C« WHILE numerous Literary Periodicals are issued from the. American Press which arc liberally patronized, it has been a subject of general regret, that since the discon tinuance of that able work, the Southern Re view, there has been no Magazine established in South Carolina affording a suitable medium through which the opinions of our best might be brought to bear directly and usefftlly upon the public mind. It is with a view W meet this demand that the publication ot this Journal is proposed, and that the general and substantial support of the citizens of the South is respectfully solicited. .

Its columns are in tended to afford a vehicle for the free but tem perate discussion of all questions, which from! their importance, interest or attraction are de serving of the attention of an educated com munity. If it shall become, what its name im ports, a Journal of strictly Southern Literature —if it shall serve to place upon record a true account of the opinions, feelings, habits and' general lone of thinking of an enthusiastic and high-minded people—if, under the enlivening inspiration of the Genius and with the ap-? proving smiles of the generousand the fair, ant? the concurrence and effective aid of the learned and talented men among us, it shall contribute,’ in any small degree, to secure for the South' that elevated Literary position to which it isf entitled, and which it is capable of maintain ing, its design will then be fully accomplished; The work will be conducted by the Subscri ber, assisted by several Literary Gentlemen' who have pledged themselves to contribute con stantly and liberally to its colffmns,; who are in terested in its success, and who think the preiM ent a favorable juncture fur the commencement of such an enterprise. It will be printed in an octavo form, on fine paper, in monthly numbers of fifty-six pages each, and will be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained to authorize its publication. The Journal will be furnished to subscribers at Five Dollars per annum, payable at the expira tion of six months from the date of the first number. DANIEL K. WHITAKER. Charleston, March 24, 1835.

ON Sunday 24th May, was turned from my pasture a sorrel mare, and black horse. The sorrel mare is 8 years old, and has a small blaze in her face, and jsome few white, hairs on her rump. The black Horse, is low and well sett, about 7 years old, both nags in good order, and looked to have been stolen. These two horses was seen topass through Har risburg, and the same day were seen to pass the residence of Gen. Thomas Glascock, 4 miles be low the city, on the Savanuah road. It is sup posed.thty are making their way to the planta tion of Dr. Golphin of South Carolina, who was once the owner of the small black Horse, and after he sold him to Mr. Chavers, he got out and crossed the River and went back again.
