PROSPECTUS
OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
PARLOUR MAGAZINE.
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, d'C-; and embellished with superior En
gravings; Fine Wood Cuts; Plates of the
Fashions; and Music.
Price S 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- 1
ly assert its claims to rank among the most |
beautiful periodicals in the United States.
The Literary department is contributed toby I
many of the ablest writers in the country —men
whose names, if they gave ns permission to use j
them, would save us the trouble of circulating j
our claims on the public through the medium of;
a prospectus.
For selections, the literary gardensof all A- :
merica 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 taste.
The “Fashions” shall meet with all due at
tention. We have made arrangements to ob
tain the earliest intellige»crr 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
iogsupon 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.
O Highly finished portraits of all the great
British ami American poets,from Chaucer down
wards, are in preparation, and will appear in
the Magazine fromtime to time, wiih agenerab
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 Liberty-street, New-York.

THE
OR THS NEXV YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE
THIS Periodical having passed into the
hands of the undersigned, will hereafter be
issued xvith punctuality on the first of everj’
month, and in a style of typographical execu
tion, which it is designed shall fKrt be surpassed
by any similar Periodical in this country. The
proprietors will use their endevors to avoid the
eXStrrples of their predecessors, in liberal prora
' ises and scanty fulfilments. The xvork is here
after to depend, rather upon the character 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
xvorks, of proper distinction, xvith such extracts
as may be necessary to add interest, or to
evince the justice of the accompanying criticisin'
A Monthly Compendium will also be given,
comprising, in a succinct form, all events of
importance which maj' 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, xvill be embraced in this depart
ment. Brief Obituary Notices of eminent per
sons who may have deceased during tlie month,
will likewise be given.
The Editor’s Table xvill be devoted to the
familiar discussion of such local or geneal mat
ters, as could not, xvith 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 emploj'ment
I in its pages of much of the best literary talent
I of the country —if the beautj' of execution, and
! early and punctual transmission, can insure its
succe it is confidently believed thatthe Knick
erbocker Magazine xvill attain to general favor

~i’YPE FOUNDRY?"
E. WHITE & WM. HAGER.
■gl® ESPECTFULLY inform the Printers of
the United States, to whom they have
longbeen individuallj’ known as Letter Found
ers, that they have now formed a Copartner
ship in said Business, and hope from their uni
ted and extensive experience, to be able to give
full satisfaction to all xvho may favor them with
their orders.
The introduction of Machinery, iu place ol
the tedious and unhealthful process of casting
type by hand, a desideratum felt 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- i
ner, first successfully accomplished. Exten- i
sive machine cast letter has fuiTy tested and es- |
tablished its superiority in every particular, ■
over that cast bj’ the old process.
The Letter Foundry Business xvill 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
News Type being in the most modern a*nd 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
everj' 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
above three insertions, will be entitled to five
dollars in such articles as they may select from
onr specimen. E. WHITE.

PROPOSALS!
For Publishing in the Town of Wetumpka, Al
abama, a weekly paper to be entitled the
WETUMPKA TIMES.
FIAHETownoI 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 papef being deemed by the sub
scriber 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.
lhe object of the Times is not to effect ftnj'
party views whatever, and therefore, will not
be the organ ol anj' faction, or the tool of anj r
party hut wilibe deVoted to the dissemination of
collect 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 ol all parties and all opinions—-also to a
fr3.HK, iieo find full discussion ot all the polili
cal questions vitally affecting the interests and
i well being ol National the Government and the
cause of liberty against anarchy and misrule.
A summary view of all important events
, happening in any part of the United states, and
! a s qmmary ot all loreigii intelligence whether
| civil or political, deemed to be of an important
or interestingcharacter, together with a correct
account ol the Market of this and other places
will be sevised by the practical merchant, and
published xveekly.

HENRY LYON.
Wetumpka, Ala. Jan. 22d 1835.
TO THE PUBLIC,
subscriber, having purchased the
' -BL Southern Agriculturist from its late Edi
tor and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, soli
cits the support of the friends of Agriculture,
and of the interests connected xvith it, through
out the Southern States. He has published
this work lor Mr; Legare from its commence
ment, in the j'ear 1828, and he is thus practical
lj' acquainted with the mode in which it should
be conducted. Its publication will be continue !
on thesrme femsand in the same manner as
heretofore, with such improvements 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 mid unrestrained communications
from all persons occupied in these pursuits.—
Let no one imagine that solitary facts or iso
lated experiments are too 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 ulany facts to record as ean
be furnished; and from the Planter, who is sys
tematic in his experimental labors, an account
ol his failures as well as of his successful ef
forts, xvill be acceptable. If the last are worthy
of being recorded that they maybe 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, xvill 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 xvas suffered to fall, when it was not onlj' rear
ing for us a well merited fame, as a literarj’
people, but it was also vindicating the Southern
character and Southern habits from the unjust
aspersions which have been so liberally bestow
ed upon us out of our section of country. The
“ So UTHERN AGRICUL TUR IS T' in some
I measure supplies the place of the Southern Re
i vic;v, so far as regards the circumstances last
alluded to. It serves as a Register not only of
1 methods of Husbandry, but also of facts relating
I t*> our system es Slavery. The subjects of the
I discipline, the treatment, the characters of our
' Slaves, are fairly suited to its pages, and con
stitute topics as interestingand importantas any
xvhich can engage either onr own attention or
the attention of those abroad, who fee? a legit
imate interest in our concerns.
The Subscriber begs leave, in conclusion, to
i remark, that if he had not undertaktii 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
be in his power to continue it, will depend not
onlj’ on the pecuniary but the Literary Con
tributions of Southern Planters. He confident
ly now leaves this matter in their hands, feei
ng a full assurance that there is wanting on
he part of our Planters, neither the liberality
nor mental energies necessary to sustain the
Southern Agriculturist.

TO PRINTERS.
FfllHE publication of the “ North Carolina

i the Printing business connected with it, for
j some time under the Editorial management of
! Mr. Roswell Elmer, Jr. beirra about to be relin
[ quished by him, for some other pursuit, it be
' comes necessary to engage the services of anoth
er compe’ent individual, to take charge of the
concern.
The Press is an excellent supep-royal, cast
iron, Washington or Rust Press, equal to anj'
; in the State, to which is attached Composition
; Rollers and Fixtures. The Tj'pes consists of
fonts of Long Primer, 350 lbs.; Brevier 160 lbs-;
! Pica, 60 lbs.; Double Small Pica, 50 lbs.; togeth

rules, &c. «Ssc., carefully selected and suited to
the business of a country Printing Office, all
nearlj- 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 xvho combines practically,
a knoxyledge for printing, with capacity for lhe
I Editorial management oftheconcern, thisxx'ould
doubtless be a profitable situation.
It may not be amiss to say, that the political
■ cour. e and principles hitferto supported by the
i “Spectator,” have been those' of the “ Jefferso-1
I nian School,” and it is believed a majority of
this community entertaining the same princi-}
pies, would be more likely to patronize a con
tinuance than a departure from them. Earlj'
application is desirable to

PROSPECTUS
. Os A MONTHLY MAGAZINE TO BE ENTITLED
THE SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNAD
To be published in Charleston, S. C.
WHILE numerous Literary Periodicals
are issued from the American Press
which are 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 xvhich the opinions of our best writers
might be brought to bear directly and usefully
upon the public mind. It is with a view to
meet this demand that the publication of this.
Journal is proposed, and that the general and
substantial support of the citizens of the South
is respectfully sidicited.
The proposed Magazine will consist of Ori
ginal Communications on Literary and Scien
tific Subjects; of Popular Tales suggested by
historical and local associations; of Poetrv
and Political Intelligence. 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 becofire, what its name im
ports, a Journal of strictlj’ Southern Literature
—if it shall serve to place upon record i
account of the opinions, feelings, habits and
general tone of thinking of an enthusiastic and
high-minded people—if, under the enlivening
inspiration of the Genius Loci, and xvith the ap
proving smiles of the generous and the fair, and
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 is
entitled, and which it is capable of maintain-’
its design will then be fully accomplished'.'
1 he xvork xvill be conducted bj’ the Subscri*
her, assisted by several Literarj’ Gentlemen
who have pledged themselves to contribute con
stantly and liberally to its columns, who are in
terested in its success, and who think the pres-'
ent a favorable junctuie for the commencement?
of such an enterprize. It will be printed in an
octavo form, on fine paper, in monthly numbers
of fifty-six pages each, and xvill be pnt to press
as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers
can be obtained to authorize its publication.
The Journal xvill be furnished to subscribers at
Five Dollars per annum, payable at the expira
tion of six months from the date of the first
number.

The sorrel mare is 8 years old, and has al
small blaze in her face, and t some 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- r
risburg, and the same day were seen to pass
j residence of Gen. Thomas Glascock, 4 miles be
low the city, on the Savannah road. It is sop

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, t
am under the impression the mare would not
cross the River with him, altho following him
in that direction to the Rtver. The abeve re
