OF THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
PAU L 0 UR MA GA 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 New
Works, <pc.; 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.
Forgeneral appearance, mechanical arrange
ment, and typographical execution, it may just
ly assert its claims to tank 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
mericaand half Europe arc 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
ings upon 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.
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 rea U s 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 KNICKERBOCKER.
OR THE NEW YORK MONTHLY MAGAZINE
TH I S Periodical having passed into the
hands of the undersigned, will hereafter be
issued Avith punctuality on the first of every
month, ami in a style of typographical execu
tion, Avhich 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 Avhich it is to arrive. The Editor Avill
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 Avork honorable to
American Periodical Literature, and accepta
ble to the public, whose patronage is only so
far solicited as it shall seem to be desewed.
The original papers—which it is designed
shall be so varied, as to form a combination of the
sol id and useful with the entertaining and agree
able—will be from literary 7 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 neAV
Avorks, of proper distinction, Avith 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 Avhich 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, Avill be embraced in this depart
ment. Brief Obituary Notices of eminent per
sons who may have deceased during the month,
Avill likeAvise be given.
The Editor’s Table will be devoted to the
familia r discussion of such local or geneal mat
ters, as could not, Avith 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 th at the Knick
erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor

CLEMENT M. EDSON.
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
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 bv 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. I
Their specimen exhibits a complete series ,
from Diamond to 14 lines Pica; the Book and j
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 "mav select from
our 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.
f 85 HE Town oi Wetumka being situated at
S the head of Steam Bout navigation on the
Coosa river, and being justly estimated as an
important point where thecoinmerceof an exten
sive, rich productive district ofthe-country must
concentrate; a paper being deemed by the sub
scriber necessary to the people who reside in the
Toavh, and to those Avho 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
ka, under the title which heads this prospec
tus.
The object oi the Times is not to effect any 7
party views whatever, and therefore, will not
be the organ of any faction, or the tool of any
party but wilibe 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

TO THE PUBLIC,
SIME subscriber, having purchased the
. Southern Agricullurist from, its late Edi
tor and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, soli
cits the support of the friends of Agriculture,
and oi 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 Avith the mode in which it should
be conducted. Its publication Avill be continue 1
on thtisame Icrmsund 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 Avith regard to established
systems of Husbandry, but also experimental
efforts in Agriculture and Horticulture, he in
vites tree 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
traordinary7 mind, but by the contributions of
particulars by 7 many individuals, and generally
alter the lapse of many years. He is desirous,
therefore, to have as mrmy facts to record as ean
beiurnished; andfromthe Planter, who issys
tematic in his experimental labors, an account
oi his failures as well as of his successful ef
forts, Avillbe acceptable. If the last are worthy
oi being recorded that they may be imitated, the
first merit lo be noted in order to be shunned.
The Subscriber hopes that this appeal to his
felloAv-citizens of the South, will not be in vain.
It Avould 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, Avhen it was not only rear
ing for us a well merited fame as a literary
jx'ople, but it Avas also vindicating the Southern
character and Southern habits from the unjust
aspersions Avhich have been so liberally bestoAV
ed upon us out of our section of country. The
“ ROUTHERNAGRICULTURIS T' in some
measure supplies the place of the Southern Rc
wicw, 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
G 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 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
I only on the pecuniary but the Literary Con
tributions of Southern Planters. He confident
i ly now leaves this matter in their hands, feel
; ng a full assurance that there is wanting on
i he part of our Planters, neither the liberality
: nor mental energies necessary to sustain the
Southern Agriculturist.

THE SIEK CULTURIST?
FBIHE Executive Committee of the Hartford
! Ji. County Silk Society, have commenced a
publication, called the Silk Cultuvist 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,
i and the reeling of Silk, in the most approved
; method. The importance of this knowledge
. will appear from the fact that the nett profils of
1 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 <an 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 anti
climate have given him, he must posse> him
: self of information on the subject—for without
it his attemps will be fruitless, ft is, therefore
■ the object of the Committee to diffuse this in
i formation as extensively as possible, and at the
; cheapest rate. The publication will contain a
| complete manual or directory from sowing the
1 seed to reeling the Silk, together with such
I facts and experiments, as will enable farmers I
to iai.se Silk, and prepare it for market, without
further knowledge or assistance. It will also
| contain interestingmatter 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
Sec’y, Hartford, Conn., to whom also, Comma’
nicationsmay be addresesd, which if postpaid
will be attended to.
Editors who will copy the above, shall
receive the publication for one year.

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 rhe discon
tinuance of that able work, the Southern Re
view, there has been no Magazine established
in South Carolina affording a suitable medium
through Avhich 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 7 solicited.
The proposed Magazine Avill consist of Ori
trinal on Litertyy and Scien
tific Subjects; of Popular Tales suggested by
historical and local associations; of Poetrj'
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
-I’a J°i |rna l strictly Southern Literature
—it it shall serve to place upon record a true
account of the opinions, feelings, habits and
general t me of thinking of an enthusiastic and
hi,gh-unn.led people—if, tinder the enlivening
inspiration >f the Gcni'ii.- Loci, and with the atH
proving sanies G the generous and the fair, and
the conem rencc and effective aid of the learned
ana talented men among us, it shall contribute,
in any small degree, to secure for the South
that elevated Literary position to Avhich it is
entitled and Avhich it is capable of maintain
design will then be fully 7 accomplished.
I he work Avail be conducted by the Subscii
ber, assisted by several Literary Gentlemen
who have pledged themselves to contribute con
stantly and liberally to its columns, who are in
terested in its success, and Avho think the pres
ent a favorable juncture lor the commencement
of such an enterprize. It will be printed in an
octavo form, on fine paper, in monthly numbers
oi fifty-six pages eachj and will be put to press
as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers
can be obtained to authorize its publication.
The Journal Avill be furnished to subscribers at
Five Dollars per annum, payable at the expira
tion of six months from the date of the first
number.
