r Ills PARLOUR MAGAZINE is now in
3 the meridian of its popularity, and as in
spiring hopes without a shadow, and cloudless i
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 j
whose tames, 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 prospect us.
For selections, the literary gardensof all A
inerica 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.
1 he PARLOU R MAG AZINE shall be oc
casionally embellished with beautiful Engrav
ingsupon interesting subjects; and platesof the
newest fashions, plain or colored, as circumstan
ces will permit; besides wood cuts in great va
i iety, and a piece 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, 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
cal! 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.
Ihe P.l RLOL R 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
rgl tl I S Periodical having passed into the
-H- 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
bj- 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 Ci. ark, 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 tube 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 athomc 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 i
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- ,
inent. 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 i
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
enrlj r and punctual transmission, can insure its
succe it is confidently believed thatthe Knick-
erbocker Magazine will attain to general favor

TYPE FOUNDRY:
E. WHITE & SVM. HAGER.
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 maj- 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- j
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 ofd'process.
The Letter Foundry Business will be carried I
on by the parties before named, under the firm I
of WHITE, HAGAR & CO
Their specimen exhibits a complete series j
from Diamond to 14 lines Pica; the gook and
News Type being in the most modern and light [
style.
WHITE, HAGAR & CO. are agents for the i
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
our specimen. E. WHITE.

i TO THE PUBLIC,
i Fgp HE subscriber, having purchased the
j -SL Southern Agriculturist from its late Edi
tor aiid Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, soli
. cits the support of the friends of xlgriculturc,
I 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 heisthus practical
ly acquainted with the mode in which it should
be conducted. Its publication will be continue 1
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
ciforts 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 can
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 maybe imitated, the
first merit to be noted in order to be shunned.
d he Subscriber hopes that this appeal to his
fellow-citizens of the South, will not be in vain,
j It would be a reproach to our Planters to suffer
. this Periodical to meet the fate of the Southern
i Review. Ofthe last it may be justly said, that
I it was suffered to fall, when it was not only rear
; tng 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 1 iberally .bestow-
Icd upon us out of our section of country. The
“ SOUTHERN A GRICUL TURIS T’ in some
measure supplies the place of the Southern Re
'vicu},so far as regards the circumstances last
alluded to. It serves as a Register not onlj r of
methods of Husbandry, but also of facts relating
j’. 01,r 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 nuportantas 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
j 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 but the Literary Con
i tributions of Southern Planters. He corifident-
■ ly now leaves this matter in their hands, feel
ing a full assnrance that there is wanting on
I he part of our Planters, neither the liberality
nor mental energies necessary to sustain the
Southern Agriculturist.

ths: silk culturist?
FEpHE Executive Committee of the Hartford
I Ja. County Silk Society, have commenced a
publication, called the Silk Cullui island 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,
1 and the reeling of Silk, in the most approved
I 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
j in order to avail himself of this facility to obtain
j competency and wealth, which our soil and
! climate have given him, he muss possess him
j sell of information on the subject—for without
it his attemps will be fruitless. It is, therefore
; the object of the Committee to diffuse this m
! formation as extensively as possible, and at the '
j cheapest rate. The publication will contain a
complete manual or directory from sowing the '
■<eed to reeling the Silk, together with such !
facts and experiments, as will enable farmers !
to raise Silk, and prepare it for market, without 1
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 Paces, 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 (

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
yievy, 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 tear 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 thatthe general and
substantial support of the citizens of the South
is respectfully solicited.
1 he proposed Magazine will consist of Ori
ginal Communications on Literary and Scien
tific Subjects; of Popular Tales suggested by
historical and local associations J of Poetry,
and Political Intelligence. Its columns ate 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 atteurion of an educated com
munity. If it shall become, what its name im
ports, a Journal of strictly Southern Literature
if it shall servfc 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 ol the Genius Loci, and with the ap- 1
proving smiles of the generous and the fair, and
e concurrence and effective aid ofthe learned
amt 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-'
in ? lUlts I U lts f^eS jo n will then be fully accomplished..
1 lie work will be conducted by the Subscri
ber, assisted by several Literary Gentlemefi
who have pledged themselves to eon tribute con
stantly and liberally to its cofomns, who are in
terested in its success, nnd who think the pres
ent a favoiable juncture for the commencement
of such an enterprize. It will be printed in atl
octavo form, on fine paper, in monthly numbers
of fifty-six pages each, and will be put to press
as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers
ran be obtained to authorize its publication.
I he Journal will beiurnished to subscribeis at
biv e Dollars per annum, payable at the expira
iron of six months from the date of the first
number.
