Al/I/HESS TO THE Pi 'HIM'.

The infinite number of periodical works which are at present ex-
tant in the metropolis, may render the Proprietors of a new :Bags-
rine liable to the imputation of presumption. Arithout seeking to
depreciate the merits of their contemporaries, the Proprietor, of
the bonitos/ Joy a NAL D.:t Monet may flatter themselves that
their work will be so constructed. as to supply the deficiencies ob.
.enable in the most popular weekly papers of the day. To the gay
p,rtion of the world it will present intelligence of great interest,
not merely confined to a dry routine of movementa, but compesing
a lively account of fashionable amusements, manners, and costume
in London and Pais, at Court, In watering-places. and every re-
sort of the leaders of ton. To the I, rent of literature it will offer
a copious fund of information and entertainment, from the exertion
of talent already known and appreciated by the public, and which
will be displayed in light essays, amusing tales, illustrations of
history, vivid delineations of scenes and customs in foreign earn-
tri A, and poetry of a superior order. 't'he notices of new books
will be ample; yet care will be taken to prevent the work from de-
generating Into a mere Review—an error which marks the conduct
orf contemporary journals, and which renders the publication of a
I Weekly 31o„ comprehending no, e liberal and expanded
views, a desideratum to the reading world. The criticisms will be
characterized by impartiality and candour ; and a fair and just tri-
bunal will be established for the drama, tending to the encourage-
ment of merit in the performer', and aiming at an inipmeemer.t in
the present .ystrtn of theatrical arrangements, by occasional com-
ments on the audience, the actors, and the managers of the national
theatres. The absence of all party spirit, the wane patronage of
the arts and sciences, and eh,. 4,,,,d taste and feeling which will b.,
found to pervade a work intended to please, instruct, to polish and
refine, will, it is presumed, insure a commenaurate return front
the British public: and the proprietors, whilst earnestly inviting
the assistance which can alone give stability to their undertaking,
pledge themselves to the strict performance of their engagements.

TO A D‘'ERTISE Ws.
As one of the features of the work will he that of rendering it a
medium of information, for the guidance of the fashionable, in
their various undertakings and purchases, es well es their recrea.
tiuns and amusements, it is aalutaittcd to the proprietors of the most
fashionable establishments, the managers of theatres. exhibitions,
&c. as the most advantageous medium foe their Advertisements,
not only from the extensive circulation which it will ever command,
but on account of the class of readers among whom it will be dia.
tributed, and the nature of the publication, which, so far from
being thrown b 7, like a Newspaper, will form, for months after the
period of insertion, • constant remembrancer, to the families and
connielions of the whole nt' the subscribers.

Advertisements of Miscellaneous Sni;lccTs will be inserted on the
Covers, at the usual rate of Newspaper charges; hot, a limited
number of those connected with Litetature and the Fine .Irts will
