PROSPECTUS OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE PARLOUR MAGAZINE. A weekly paper, devoted to Literature, and the Fine Arts; the Drama; the Fashions-, Talcs; Essays; Biographical Sketches; the History of Women; Harmless Satire; Reviews of New Works, 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—meh 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 mericaand 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 intelligence from London and Paris, in respect ot 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, aseirctimstan ces will permit; besides wood cuts in great va liety, and apiece of original or well selected Music, at least twice a month. O’Highly finished portraits of allthe 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 readersattention, 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.

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 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 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 works, of proper distinction, with such extracts , as may be necessary to add interest, or to | evince the justice of the accompanying criticism ; A Monthlj* Compendium will also be given, I comprising, in a succinct form, all events of ■ importance whir 1- may have occurred during j the month, with .%nch remarks, or illustrative I 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 early and punctual transmission, can insure its succe it is confidently believed that the Knick erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor LEWIS GAYLORD CLARK, CLEMENT M. EDSON. TYPE FOUNDRY- - E. WHITE WM. HAGER. RESPECTFULLY inform the Printers of the United States, to whom 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 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 i 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 above three insertions, will be entitled to five dollars in such articles as they may select from onr 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. rriHETownoi Wetumka being situated at JL the head vi 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 to the people who reside in the Town, and to those who must trade there, as a sort of Messenger between the agiicultural and commercial population—he, therefore proposes to establish a Journal in the Town of Wetump tus UUt 61 heads this prospec- Ihe object of the Times is not to effect any h^ r </.

Wetumpka, Aro,. 22d 1835. TO THE PUBLIC, FTFIHE subscriber, having purchased the ja- 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 with it, through out ti ie Southern States. He has published this work for Mr. Legare from its commence ment, in the year 1828, and hersthus practical ly acquainted with the mode in which it should be conducted. Its publication will be continue 1 on the sazzre Jems 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 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 alter 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 ot his failures as well as of his successful ef forts, will be acceptable. If the last are worthy ot being recorded that they may be imitated, the first merit to be noted in order to be shunned. 1 he 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 wasnot onlyrear ingforus a well merited fame as a literary 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 “ SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE T” in some measure supplies the place of the Southern Re view, so far as regards the circumstances last, alluded to. It serves as a Register not only of methods of Husbandry, but also of facts relating to our system es Slavery. The subjects of the discipline, the treatment, the characters of our Slaves, are fairly suited to its pages, and con stitute tapics as interesting and importantas any which can engage either our own attention or the attention of those abroad, w T ho feel a legit 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 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 wanting on he part of our Planters, neither the liberality nor mental energies necessary to sustain the Southern Agriculturist. A. E. MILLER. Charleston, S. C., Dec. 1, 1834. THE SILK CULTURIsK [ j PIgYIIE Executive Committee of the Hartford JRL County Silk Society, have commenced a publication, called the Silk Cuituiist and Far mers Manual. The object of the publication is to disseminate . a through knowledge of the cultivation of the . i Mulberry Tree, in all iis varieties—the rearing J of Silk Worms —the production of Cocoons, j and the reeling of Silk, in the most approved ■ method. The importance of this knowledge I will appear from the fact that the nett profits ot I of landdevoted to the culture of Silk, is double, I if not triple, tothat derived from any other crop ’ ’ which can be put upon it. It is also a fact, that i very moderate farmer can raise several hun ; dred dollars worth of silk, without interfering j with his ordinary agricultural operations. Bui 5 in order to avail hnnself of this facility to obtain i competency and wealth, which our soil and ! climate have given him, be must possess him j self of information on the subject—for without !it his attemps will be fruitless.

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 which 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 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 ginal Communications bn Literary and Scien tific Subjects; of Popular Tales suggested bf 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 munity. If it shall become, what its name im ports, a Journal of strictly Southern Literattire —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 and with 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 seeure for the South that elevated Literary position to which it is entitled, and which it is capable of maintain in7k s . tben be fully accomplished. Ihe work will be conducted bj r the Subscri be t, assisted by several Literary Gentlemen u ho have pledged themselves to contribute con stantlyand liberally to its columns, who are in terested in its success, and who think the pres ent a lav orable juncture for the commencement of such an enterprize. It will be printed in an octavo form, on fine paper, in monthly numbers ot fitty-six pages each, and vv r ill be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained to authorize its publication. The Journal wilt 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 bld, both nags in good order, and looked to haye 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 citr, on the Savanuuh road. It is sup posed they 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 hesold him to Mr. Chavers, he got out and crossed the Riverand went back again. I am under the impression the mare would not cross the River with him, altho following him in that direction to the River. The above re ward will be paid to any one, who will deliver, the said two horses to me, and any information wiih regard to them, will be thankfully received ROBERT W. McKEEN.
