PROSPECTUS
OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
PARLOUR MAGAZINE.
A weekly pa.per, 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 $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
our claims on the public through the medium of
a prospectus.
For selections, the literary gardens of all A
merica and half Europe are open to us; so that
if Ave 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 intelligence from London and
Paris in respect of the various changes, which
shall oe inserted as soon as received.
The PARLOUR MAG AZINE shall be oc
casionally embellished with beautiful Engrav
ingsupon interesting subjects; and plates of the
newest fashions, plain or colored, as circumstan
ces will permit; besides wood cuts in great va
iiety, and apiece of original orwell selected
Music, at least twice a month.
£j” 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, wiih 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 Liberty-street, New-York.

TIIE KNICKEKBOCKER.
OR THE NEAV YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE
TH I S Periodical having passed into the
hands of the undersigned, will hereafter be
issued with punctuality on the first of every
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—Avill 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, Avith such remarks, or illustrative
comments, as they may demand. The general I
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 I
under the above r- lined 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 i
in its pages of much of the best literary talent
of the country —if the beauty of execution, and
early and punctual transmission, can insure its
succe it is confidently believed that the Knick-
erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor

TYPE FOUNDRY:
E. WHITE & WM. HAGER.
RESPECTFULLY inform the Printers of
the United States, to Avhom they have
longbeen individually 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 who may favor them with
their orders.
The introduction of Machinery, in place of
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
ner, first successfully accomplished. Exten
sive machine cast letter has fully tested and es
tablished its superiority in every particular,
over that east by the old process.
The Letter Foundry Business ivillbe 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 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 1
above three insertions, will be entitled to five 1
dollars in such articles as they may select from
our specimen. E.” WHITE.

PROPOSALS.
For Publishing in the Town of Wetumpka, Al
abaina, a weekly paper to be entitled the
WETUMPKA TIMES.
rpHE Town ot 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
scriber necessary lo the people who reside in the
Town, and to those who must trade thare, 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.
The object of the Times is not to effect any
P ait y views whatever, and therefore, will not
be the organ of any faction, or the tool of any
paity but will be devoted to the dissemination of
correct and useful rnformation and to the main
tenance ol the rights and interests of the peo
ple. Its columns will at all times be open to
men ot all parties and all opinions—also to a
trank, free and full discussion of all the politi
cal questions vitally affecting the interestsand
I well being of National the Government and the
i cause of liberty against anarchy and misrule.
A summary view of all important events
, happening in any part of the United states, and
I a summary of all foreign intelligence whether
i civil or political, deemed to be of an important
i or interestingcharacter, together with acorrect
■ account of 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
his patrons with all important news on any and
i every subject calculated to benefit the public,
I and topresent them with such original and se
| lected articles as may be of an instructive or en
tertaining nature. He, also pledges himself, to
spare no exertion:, on his part lo render the
Times worthy thepatronage of an enlightened
and generous community.

TO THE PUBLIC,
UE subscriber, having purchased the
-H- Souther.-i Agriculturist from its lats Edi
tor and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, soli
cits the support of the friends of Agriculture,
and ol the interests connected with it, through
out the Southern States. He has published
this work for Mr. Legare from its commence
ment, in the year 1828, and he is thus practical
ly acquainted with the mode in which it should
be conducted. Its publication will be continue 1
on thesawie terms and 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
iormation, not only Avith regard to established
systems ot 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 eontribulions of
particulars by many individuals, and generally
atter 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 is sys
tematic in his experimental labors, an account
ot 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
tellow-citizens of the South, will not be in vain.
It rvould 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
people, but it was also vindicating the Southern
character and Southern habits from ths unjust
' aspersions which have been so liberally bestow
ed upon us out of our section of country. The
“ SOUTHERN AGRICULTURIST' insome
measure supplies the place of the Southern Re-
I I’icw, so far as regards the circumstances last
j alluded to. It serves as a Register not only of
! methods of Husbandry, but also of facts relating
■ \°. o V r 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 importantas any
j which can engage either our own attention or
j the attention of those abroad, who feel alegit
; imate interest in our concerns.
| The Subscriber begs leave, in conclusion, to
| remark, that if he had not undertaken to con-
J tinue the publication of this Periodical, it most
1 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
only 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 Avanting on
he part of our Planters, neither the liberality
nor mental energies necessary to sustain the
Southern Agriculturist.

TO PRINTERS.
THE publication of the " North Carolina
Spectator and Western Advertiser,” and
! the Printing business connected with it, for
I some time under the Editorial management of
Mr. Roswell Elmer, Jr. being about to be relin
quished by him, for some other pursuit, it be
comes necessary to engage the services of anoth
er competent individual, to take charge of the
concern.
The Press is an excellent supep-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
I fonts of Long Primer, 350 lbs.; Brevier IGO lbs.;
Pica, 60 lbs.; Double Small Pica, 50 lbs.; togeth
er with a complete assortment of job type, cuts,
rules, &e. &c., carefully selecteii 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. To one who combines practically,
a knowledge for printing, with capacity for the
Editorial management ofthe concern, this would
doubtless be a profitable situation.
It may not be amiss to say, that the political
cour. e and principles hitherto supported by 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. Early
application is desirable to

PROSPECTUS
OF A MONTHLY MAGAZINE TO BE
THE SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNAL
To be published iu Charleston, S. C.
■WMfHILE numerous Literary Periodicals
w V 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 which the opinions of our best writers'
might be brought to bear directly and usefully
upon the public mind. It is with a view Id
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.
The proposed Magazine will consist of Ori
sinal Communications on Literary and Scien-'
tifiu Subjects; of Popular Tales suggested by
historical and local associations; of Poetry,-
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 J
munity. If it shall become, what its name inn
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 tone of thinking of an enthusiastic and
high-minded people—if, under the enlivening
inspiration of the Genius Loci, and with the ap-'
; proving smiles of the generous and the fair, and
I the concurrence and effective aid of the learned
and talented men among us, it shall contribute,-
i in any’small degree, to secure for the Soutlf
I that elevated Literary position to which it is
, entitled, and which it is capable of maintain
in mi' ts es i" n y’Bl then be fully accomplished.
Ihe work will be conducted by the Subscri
j ber, assisted by several Literary Gentlemen
: who have pledged themselves to contribute con-
I stantlj' and liberally to its columns, who are in
terested in its success, and who think the pfW*
ent a favorable juncture for the commencement
I of such an enterprize. It will be printed in an
i octavo form, on fine paper, in monthly numbers
. of fifty-six pages each, and will be put to press
I 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 tlie date of the first
number.
