THE NEW-YORKER, the 21th dnv of March nex*, the subscribers null c intnwnlec die Fifth Volume of their journal, both bio and Quarto editions. No endeavors have thus ar been spared to render it worthy the patronage and st’em of the public, and a corresponding spirit will an mate our future exertions. Recent arrangements have itiea effected, securing an accession ot talent and cn t.’v’ in the editorial conduct of the work, and insuring reiter variety as well as strength in this department ot raultaneous and unceasing attention to Uierature, Pol itics. Foreign Affairs, Domestic Occurrences, and even subject ot interest —is not so well calculated to secure the highest efficiency in these various departments as a system which embraces a partial though not absolute division of intellectual labor. Under this conviction, the active assistance ns well as counsel of a gentleman favorably known in the higher walks of Literature have heeicsecured for the ensuing year, and that portion of the paper more especially known as Literary will be placed under his charge- The Political department, with a general supervision of the entire work, will re main with him who has hitherto been known to the pub lic as the Editor of the work. The City and Foreign Department will devolve more especially upon Dr. Eld- TUDoE, who will also lend his aid in advancing the liter ary reputation of the paper. It is believed that by this arrangement a more complete and effective knowledge of the subjects treated of will be insured, while a more real and palpable variety—a variety of manner as well |aa matter—will result to our journal and its readers. Os the general character of The N-r- Yorh-r it is un- I necessary to speak, since we do not propose to change •that which it ha3 borne from its establishment. Circu lating for the last two years from 6,000 to 9,(XX) copies per week, through every State and city, and nearly ev ery countv, in the Union —it cannot be presumed un known to the educated and intelligent. I<> those wlio have not hitherto made its acquaintance, it may be prop er to state that it is characterized by two objects : the one, of combining the greatest practicable amount ot i useful and elevating information with the highest gen eral interest; the other, of disseminating truth so far as possible divested of the jaundice of prejudice and the cant of party. In short, our motto is Impartiality, as dis tinguished from the support of this or that party, clique, or faction, whether in literature or politics. In conform ing to this outline, great care is taken against falling in to the pernicious error—more fatal than the one we op pose—of suppressing or withholding important truth be cause it has. been made the theme of partisan conflict. In regard to literature, we shall freely express our own opinions, but accord a fair hearing to whatever may stand opposed to them. In politics, our structures on public measures and political doctrines will evince a freedom tempered at all times by courtesy ; and it will be oar untiring aim to exhibit the views of all parties and sects, as sc. forth by their leaders and oracles. In this manner, we hope to render our journal a more lucid and perfect history of the political contests of the times than can fairly be expected from any partisan paper.— A concise account of all political movements —conven- tions, nominations, &c. will be given, as well as of the results of all elections, and tables of the popular votes cast therein. But, without entering further into partic ulars, we ntay sav that we shall endeavor to publish such a journal as siiall be deemed inferior in merit and scope to no weekly periodical; and we hope to render •t popular without emptying into it whole Novels, An nuals and Jest Books, and to win readers and patrons without offering them a bribe of a dozen romances as a temptation. The New-Yorker is published in two forms —the folio, or the common newspaper form, every Saturday morn ing, on a large imperial sheet, at three dollars per an num, or five dollars /or two copies. Asa further in ducement to uniting in subscriptions, five copies will be sent for ten dollars remitted absolutely in advance, and any larger number in proportion. The quarto edition is issued every Saturday evening, on a larger and finer sheet, intended expressly for bind ing Each number contains sixteen large pages of three columns each, including a page of popular Music, and excluding advertisements. It forms 2 ample volumes of 432 pages each per annum, and is afforded at four dol lars a year. Three copies, however, will lie sent for ten dollars ; and five dollars remitted free of charge will lie credited eighteen months. Subscriptions are respect fully solicited. H.

Behind him lay His lovely country, bold and beautiful — Before him, proud Britannia's chivalry Formed the long line, and yelled the battle-word; And from his eyrie swooped the wild sea-bird, And on the echoing hill-tops bleak and cold The eagles screamed —then Victory's voice passed on, And the rejoicing cannon pealed the name of Wash ington !

Recollections of n Medical Student* NO. IV. THE DOOMED. [continued.] As I returned homeward I called to see my friend C and communicated with him in relation to matters of importance, which were calculated to tell feelingly upon my des tiny. As usual our conversation turned upon K— ", and among other things I mention ed the melancholy which seemed to per vade her spirits during my visit, and wonder ed what it could have reference to. “I will tell you,” said C— ■, “for I wit nessed the whole circumstance myself. Hut first answer me a question. Did you show the letter you received from Matilda, to Col. I ?” “I did,” returned I. “Well, thus far, at least, you did wrong; though it is too late now to regret that which it is impossible to cure. This morning a par ty of young gentlemen and ladies were form ed to attend a public meeting and listen to the eloquence of some of our orators. Whilst the exercises were in progress Col. L came to UNI iss It and addressed her in these words, 44 Good morning Miss Matilda.” R—- immediately hurst into a flood of tears, which was seen by all around her, and produced no little excitement among her friends. Colonel L after endeavoring to conciliate with her, had to retire in confusion, carrying in his own breast the consciousness of having taken advantage of a lady’s weakness at an hour when, whether she was guilty or not, the same effect may have been produced.” “So I. thought he would avenge himself on the innocent girl Ueuuuse shu tuulJ not love him. This was too cruel, and a clear proof that a man who could have so little honor aLxout him, was unworthy the affections of so noble and virtuous a lady.” At the appointed hour the next evening, I found myself once more happily seated beside the lovely 11 . I thought her, if possi ble, more beautiful and more interesting than ever. 'There was something like a shade of disappointment, however, occasionally steal ing over her cheeks, the cause of which I could not imagine. My enquiry however, was at length solved by a knock at the parlor door. R started from her chair and exclaimed that it was Mr. D ,to whom she had engaged herself for the evening to attend the theatre. “ Well then,” said I, “ you arc bound to him of course. I will retire.” “No, no,” said she “if you recollect I en gaged vour company for this evening, 'ond a lady lias a right of choice among lier friends. I shall be displeased with you it you do not stay. I can satisfy Mr. I) on the subject very easily.” 1 could say no more in the way of reinon stranco, and was obliged very willingly, how ever, to submit to her determination. Mr. D came in, and R soon found it convenient to make known to him, that on account of her delicate health, her physicians had prohibted lier attending the theatre on such unpleasant evenings as the present was. lie signified his assent to what she had said, but 1 fancied that I could see the scowl of disappoint ment brooding on his brow, and being possess ed naturally of very sensative feelings, I was not destined to enjoy myself much more dur ing the remainder of the evening. It was not long after D was seated, before another tap at the door announced the arrival of ano ther visiter. Sure enough, Mr. C , a young lawyer from New York, and an admir er of Miss S entered the parlor and took his seat among us, in a very easy and graceful manner, with a pleasant smile dancing on his cheeks. I immediately prec ieded to a phy.sb logical investigation of my new made acquaint ance, but had scarcely arrived at any definite conclusions in relatoin to his character, when another knock at the door, rather louder than usual, broke the thread of my investigations. Mr. L* was announced and introduced to the company. He was rather bustling and uncouth in his manners, though the son of a wealthy planter, and had just finished his col legiate education at a college in Virginia. Nor was it long before Col. W entered, and made up the company for the evening. 1 must confess my meditations were not of the most pleasant cast for some moments, as 1 sat among those who I fancied my superiors in some resjiects }past; especially as I was so anxious to make an impress the mind ol one, who seemingly was but to be known in order to be loved. The evening, however, passed ofl rather pleasantly than otherwise, more especially when R seemed to dis cover my disappointment, and addressed as much of her conversation to me as she could, without giving offence to the ballance of the company. Among other tilings peculiarly flattering to me, she requested that I should call again the next day. After this signal evi dence of her esteem, I was preparing to take my departure, when several »f the other gen tlemen left, and I found myself once more alone With her and -Mr. C —y who soon with drew himself, and I enjoyed the remainder of tiie evening in the happiest manner, returning home at a late hour. , It \v ould be needless in the further course of this narration, to enter into a minute detail of all the particulars, which, though interesting to myself, might pall upon tiie taste of die fastidi ous reader. I remained about three weeks in the town of , during which time, scarce a day rolled around which did not find me en ]o\ ing t.ie company’ of the accomplished Miss diat in most instances, by herespe cial appointment or approbation. On many occasions, tis true, T mot with disappointments by finding otaers who were desirous ot sipping sweets at the same delicious fountain; but in no one instance, did I have cause to lie angry wilii her for any supposed neglect, while, on the contrary, I frequently fancied that others were made to writhe beneath tiie biting sar casm ol beauty, in order to convince ihem sel\e.-> and me, tout there was a preference* I he evening before my departure, I called on her lor the last time, and spent a most delight, lul time in conversing over matters, which this fair sheet might blush to contain. She earn estly protested to me on this occasion, that she was free from all engagements with any young gentleman, nor did she think she would ever marry. i hen, said I, “it is useless for a gentle man ever to address you, and cruel for him to love you.” u • sa *d she, “ I desire to attain the love of ull. Luf (lipi-r* with my history, and thrown around my des tiiy, over w liich I have no power, that must render marriage at most, a painful duty. I have no prouder ambition, than the fond hope which struggles in my bosom, of discharging the filial duties I owe to my mother, in a man ner \\ hieh God would bless. And then when she dies, the last tie which binds me to earth, will have been dishevered by the fatal sisters, and I shall have nothing to do but to lie mo down and die, and let my fond spirit go mingle with tier’s in heaven.” “ R »” said I, “ you talk mourn* fully to-night; but the very expressions that have just fallen from your lips, have rendered you a thousand times dearer to me than ever, and though the consummation of our affection may never l>c completed on earth, how joyful the hope that it may be in the holy fruition of heaven.” “ Thrice blessed is that hope,” said she, “ when associated with such a noble Triend as you. And from this time I shall be ‘proud to claim you as my—” she hesitated for a mo ment. “ Brother,” said I, in breathless ecstacy; “and you my own dear sister,” I added eager ly grasping her hand. “Yes,” said she, “and through whatever lands you may roam, where’er your destiny in life may be cast, I wish you often to think of me as you would of a sister. And whenev er you hear of my death, which I am premon ished will be ere many years, I wish you to write my epitaph.” This I promised to do, if the nature of the case would permit. I also gave her a keep* sake, upon which was inscribed, “ remember me, and asked one of her, which she promis ed to give at some future time, when it could be made. I then remarked to her, that I could not see any impropriety, when there was such an intimacy existing between two, for a friend ly correspondence to be kept up, and I would be very glad to be permitted to write to her, and receive communications in turn. This she assented to, after a great deal of equivoca tion, and many efforts to deny. As it was a late hour at night, and I had obtained an im portant item in iny wishes, I arose to take my departure. The moon was up in the high heavens, and her silver rays were dancing brightly on the fringes of the fleecy clouds which wore gaily fluttering around her. An occasional one fell faintly through the window casement on the paleoountenance of my friend, where she had seated herself to enjoy the beau ty o. the romantic hour, that hung so swoctlv over the face of nature. Long since had tho embers died upon the hearth, and th» Irght which glimmered from the tall old astral, gave 1 quite a sombre aspect to every thing in apart qient. ' NO. 26.
