PROSPECTUS ”
OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
PARL OUR MA G 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 Neto
Works, tfc.; and embellished with superior En
gravings; Fi nc 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
inerica and half Europe are’open to us; so that
if we fail in this particular, the defect must be
only attributed toour 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 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
i iety, and a piece of original orwell selected
Music, at least twice a month.
Highly finished portraits of all the great
British and American poets,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 ’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, ami stitched
in a handsome cover. JNO. M. MOORE,
Office, 67 Liberty-street, New-York.

THE
oa THE NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE
nrjlH I S 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 Willis Gaylord Clark, of
Philadelphia; and no exertions will be left un
employed to render the work honorable to
American Periodical Literature, ami 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 athoine 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- I
ters, as could not, with propriety, be classed ;
under the above named heads.
If an earnest desire to raise up a National 1
Periodical which shall do honor to American i
| Literature —if unwearied industry and exertion i
I on the part of the conductors —the employment i
in its pages of much of the best literary talent
lof the country —if the beauty of execution, and I
early and punctual transmission, can insure its :
succe it is confidently believed thatthe Knick- !
erbockf.r Magazine will attain to general favor

TYPE FOUNDRY:
E. WHITE * WM. HAGER.
RESPECTFULLY inform the Printers of;
the United States, to whom they have :
long been individually known as Letter Found-!
ers, that they have now formed a Copartner-j
ship in said Business, and hope from their uni- I
ted and extensive experience, to be able to give !
full satisfaction to all who may favor them with !
their orders.
The introduction of Machinery, iu place of!
the tedious and unhealthful process of casting !
type by hand, a desideratum felt by the Euro- i
pean and American founders, was by Arneri-!
can ingenuity, and at a heavv expenditure of i
time and money, on the part of our senior part- j
ner, first successfullv accomplished. Exten- ,
sive machine cast letter has fully te>ted 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. i
Their specimen exhibits a complete series I
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, Composin'? 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 J
dollars in such articles as they may select from
our specimen. E. WHITE.

PROPOSALS.
For Publishing in the Town ol Wetumaka Al
abama, a weekly paper to be entitled the ’
WETUMPKA TIMES.
rriHETownol Wetumka being situated at
M 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 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 Tinies is not to effect any
party views whatever, and therefore, will not
be the organ of 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 of all parties and all opinions—also to a
frank, free and full discussion of all the politi
cal questions vitally affecting the interestsand
well being of 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 summary of all foreign intelligence whether
civil or political, deemed to be of an important
or interesting character, together with a correct
account of the Market of this and other places
will be sevisedby the practical merchant, and
| published weekly.

TO THE PUBLIC,
subscriber, having purchased the
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 withit, 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!
on the same 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
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 issvs
tematic iji 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 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, 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
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 UTHERNA GRICUL TURIS 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
°H r system es Slavery. The subjects of the
discipline, thetreatment, the characters of our
Slaves, are fairly suited to its pages, and con
stitute topics as interesting and important as 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 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
South e r n Agriculturist.

THE SILK ~
Executive Committee of the Hartford
Jt. County Silk Soeietv, have commenced a
publication, called the Silk Cultwiist and Far
mers Manual.
The object of the publication is to disseminate
a through knowledge of the cultivation of the
Mulberry Tree, in all iis 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
if not triple, tothat derived from any other crop
which can be put upon it. It is also a fact, that
very moderate farmer can raise several hun
dred dollars worth ofsilk, without interfering
with his ordinary agricultural operations. But
in order to avail himself of this facility to obtain
competency and wealth, which our soil and
climate have given him, he muss possess him
self of information on the subject—for without
it his attemps 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 sowing the
seed to reeling the Silk, together with such
facts and experiments, as will enable farmers
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.

monthly numbers of Eight Quarto Pages, at

PROSPI3GTUB
OF A MONTHLY MAGAZINE TO BE ENTITLED
THE SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNA
To be published in Charleeton, S. C.
WHILE numerous Literary Periodicals
are issued from the American Press
which are liberally patronized, it has been o
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
1 1S - deraand that the publication ot this
•,, tsptoposed, and that the general and
substantial support of the citizens of the South
is respectfully solicited.
The proposed Magazine will consist of Ori
hfi a «nhip U UUI r a H° nS , on Literar y and Scien
tifiu Subjects; of Popular Tales suggested bv
historical and local associations; of
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
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 tone of thinking of an enthusiastic am!
high-minded people—if, under the enlivening
inspiration oi the Genius Loci, and with the ap
pro vmg 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
ing Hs design will then be fully accomplished,
1 he work will be conducted by the Subscii
bcr, assisted by several Literary Gentlenicft
who have p edged themselves to contribute con*
stantly and liberally to its columns, who are ih*
terested in its success, and who think the pres
ent a favorable juncture for the commencement
oi such an enterprize. It will be printed in an
,orni > on line paper, in monthly numbeis
oi lilt}-six pages each, and will be put to press
as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers
can be obtained to authorize its publication.
I he 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 niy
pasture a sorrel mare, and black horse.
The sorrel mare is 8 years old, and has a
small blaze in her face, and .some few white
hairs on her rump. The biack Horse, is low
and veil 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 Savannah 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 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 River. The above re
ward will bepaid to any one, who will deliver,
the said two horses to me, and any information
wiih regard to them, will be thankfully received
