PROSPECTUS ===
OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
PAR LO UR 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, <pc.; and embellished, with superior En
gravings; Fine Wood Cuts; Plates of the
Fashions; and. Music.
Price $3, payable in advance.
rjIHE PARLOUR MAGAZINE is now in
IL 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
menl, 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 th rough the medium ot
a prospectus.
For selections, the literary gardens of 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 intelligence from London and
Paris, in respect of the various changes, which
shall be 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
riety, and apiece of original or well selected
Music, at least twice a month.
O’Highly finished portraits of all the great
British and American j >ets,from Chauccrdown
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 \ve 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.

aits, and a relation of all that is wonderful,rare
and curious, in the history of the day, a list of
deaths, marriages, murders, robberies, arsons
shocking accidents by flood and field, hair
breadth escapes all important criminal trials
mfidl, which will be carefully culled from the
newspapers of the old and new world. It will
invariably exclude all political, religious, or pro
tessmnal discussions, and stick to useful and en
tertaining matter only.
The Alehymist will be published weekly in a
quarto form, on a super royal sheet, at Colum
bus, Geo-, by Charles F. Sherburne, at Three
Dollars per year, one half in advance, the oth

THE KVTCKERBOCKEIR’.
OR THE NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE
HIS Periodical having passed into the
JB- 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 AVtt.Lis 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 onlj’ 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
Litera ture —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 thatthe Knick-
erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor

E. WHITE WM. HAGER.
KESPECTFULLY inform the Printers of
the United States, to whom they have
Ipngbeen 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, ir place of
the tedious and unhealthful process of casting
type by hand, a desideratum fell by the
pean and American founders, was bj’ Ameri
can ingenuity, and at a heavy expenditure of
time and money, on the part of our senior part
ner, first successfullv 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 bj’ the parties before named, under the firm
of , AVHITE, 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 thej’ may select from
our specimen. E. WHITE.

proposals.
For Publishing in the Town of Wetumcka Al
abama, a weekly paper to be entitled the
WETUMPKA TIMES.
riTHETownol Wetumka being situated at
X the head of Steam Boat navigation on the
Coosa river, and being justly estimated as an
impoi taut 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 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 anj’
party views whatever, and therefore, will not
be the organ of any faction, or the tool of any
party but will bo devoted to the dissemination of
collect and useful mfoimation and to themain
tenance of the rights and interests of the peo
ple. Its columns will at all times be open to
men of all parties and all opinions—also to a
frank, free and full discussion of all the politi
cal questions vitalty affecting the interestsand
well being of National the Government and the
cause of liberty against anarchj’ and misrule.
A summary view of all important events
happening in anj’ part of the United states, and
a.summary of all foreign intelligence whether
civil or political, deemed to be of an important
or interestingcharacter, together with a correct
account of the Market of this and other places
will be sevised by the practical merchant, and
published weekly.
It will bethe endeavor of the publisher to furnish
his patrons with all important news on any and

; TO THE PUBLIC,
' subscriber, having purchased the
-H- Southern Agriculturist from its late Edi
tor and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, soli
i cits the support of the friends of Agriculture,
, and ot the interests connected with it, through
j out the Southern States. He has published
I this work for Mr. Legare from its commence
i 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 !
on the.sa»te Zemsand in the same manner as
heretofore, with such improvoments 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 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 many facts to record as ean
be furnished; and from the Planter, who is sys
tematic in his experimental labors, an account
of 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.
Tae 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 lor us 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 circumsti n es last
j 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 topics as interesting and importantas any
which can engage either our own attention or
the attention of those abroad, who 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 tocontinue 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.

THE SILK CUIiTURISIb
FpiHE Executive Committee of the Hartford
i JB. County Silk Soeiety, have commenced a
publication, called the Silk Cullurist and Far
mers Manual.
The object of the publication is to disseminate
a through knowledge of the cultivation of the
Mulberry Tree, in all its varieties—the rearing
of Silk Worms—the production of Cocoons,
and the reeling of Silk, in the most approved
method. The importance of this knowledge
will appear from the fact that the nett profits ot
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
j veryinoderate farmer can raise several hun-
I dred dollars worth ofsilk, without interferin'*
j with his ordinary agricultural operations. But
| inorder toavail himselfofthi.s facility to obtain
I competency and wealth, which our soil and
I climate have given him, he must possess him
self of information on the subject—for without,
it his atteinps will be fruitless. It is, therefore*
the object of the Committee to diffuse this in
formation as extensively as possible, and at the
cheapest rate. The publication will contain a
complete manual or directory from sowin<* the
seed to reeling the Silk, together with such
facts and experiments, as will enable formers
to raise Silk, and prepare it for market, without
further knowledge or assistance. It will also
contain interesting matter on agricultural sub
jects in general.
Terms.—TheCulturist will be published in
monthly numbers of Eight Quarto Pages, at
Fifty Cents a year. No subscription will be re
reived unless paid in advance, and for not less
than a year.
Subscriptions received by F. G. Comstock (

will be attended to.

PROSPECTUS
OF A MONTHLY MAGAZINE TO EE ENTITLED
THE SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNA
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 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 on Literary and Scien
tific. 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 eom
munity. If it shall become, what its name im
ports, a Journal of strictly Southern Literature
it it shall serve to place upon record a true
account of the opinions, feelings, habits and
general tone of thinking of an enthusiastic and
nigh-minded people—if, under the enlivening
inspiration of the Genias Loci, and with the ap
proving smiles of the generous and the fair, a»d
tne concurrence and effective aid of the learned
and talented men among us, it shall contribute,
Jn any small degree, to secure for the South
'at f Literary position to which it is
aand whl , c J l Uis ca pable of raarntain-
Tr.1 1 s esi " n Y’P then be fully accomplished.
The work will be conducted by the Subscri
ber, assisted by several Literary Gentlemen
who have p edged themselves tc contribute con
stantly and liberally to its columns, who are in
terested in its success, and who think the pres
ent a favorable juncture for the commencement
ol such an enterprixe. It will be printed in an
octavo form, on fine paper, in monthly numbeis
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. ®

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 e 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
risburg, and the same day were seen topass the
residence of Gen. Thomas Glascock, 4 miles be
low the city, on the Savannah road. It is sup
posed they’ are making their way to the planta
tion ot Dr. Golphin ol 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. I
am under the impression the mare would not
cross the River with him, altho following him
in that direction to the Rtver. The above re
ward will be paid to any one, who will deliver,
the said two horses to me, and any information
with regard to them, will be thankfully received
