Prithee do not reject us
Till you've read our Prospectus.
In the course of the month will be published, what every impar-
tial individual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metro-
polis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY
JOURNAL, which it has been determined shall be called
H E W 0 R L D.
Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus,
we do solemnly protest that «e would have given a considerable
sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham
and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by
way of proxy. The one would have described all that
" THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better
than we can ever hope to do; while the other would have en-
shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle
of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et
vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police.
Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who
was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or
the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a
paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete
the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some
notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared
he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned
our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves
under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed
our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a
transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in-
clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had
enough to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place
in our consideration, bat his style would have been too spark-
ling and light for us ; and, moreover, we knew that ha was
busied net only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors
of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the
tallow and molasses trade out of M'Culloch's " Commercial
Dictionary."
Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our
apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un-
dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair
should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and
merry. Conscience whispered that we should spettit the truth,
but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has
denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the
safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, anti has re-
commended that both them and their lucubrations should be
bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like
Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest
prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious-
ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory,
(Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimuin, &c.) where he recom-
mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We
feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned
as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure
which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the
time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and
the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out f k
eity, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human
Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined
us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel
of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and
Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like
varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew
ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so
far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com-
pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint-
ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our
pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com-
plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me-
chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and
sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old-
fashioned plan.

The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re-
cherche repast ; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut
coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuvee pants for the last
new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Klan aline loves an
honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it?
Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ;
we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Libe- x;dr
tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George 'v.' —a`

ars or

po,tape,

dr rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has
...cribed the present generation as downright blockheads; while
Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designatesthe
whole concern

" A PALTRY PRESS."
These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non nester hie
sernto."

It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something i the
shape of an able and honest Journal is required t• " stop the
gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we
think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and
excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A
Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal
placehunter, "or else you will reckon.but few readers." Upon
this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized
humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number
of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup-
port •ne which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them
the truth.

" All that mortal art bath wrought,
In our cell returns to nought ;
The molten gold returns to clay,
The polish'd diamond melts away.
All is altered, all is flown—
Nought stands fast but truth alone."
In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People,
utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the soled and
interested few. Such a course, we know, is alvrtys perilous
and often profitless—
" Hard is his task who edits—thankl:is job--

We elm, always be happy, when we can agree with those
men who, nowever they may sometimes err, have rendered
idieient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of
liberty ; but w shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy
which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never
likely to berg, ealized—

JOHN THOROGOOD has been confined in
the Common Gaol of Chelmsford since the 16th of
January last, for not paying a Church. rate of ss. (id.
In consequence of his long► confinement, his business has re-
ceived so much injury, that his friends propose a public sub-
scription, for the purpose of saving his affairs from utter ruin,
and as a testimony to him and to the country that they sympa-
thize in his sufferings, and honour the principle of religious
liberty, which is violated in his pursotl.
Subscriptions to be paid, in London, to Roger Lee, Esq.,
Treasurer, Clapham Common, and on his account at Messrs.
Rogers and Co., bankers, 29, Clement's-lane ; to Mr. Robert
13esley, 15, Northampton-square ; and Mr. James Dinnis, 62,
Paternoster-row.

—ln the Country—To 'John Copland Esq., Chelmsford;
'Joseph Sturge, Esq., Birmingham ; Sheppard Ray, Esq.,
Ipswich ; and Mr. John Childs, Rungay.
It will be obvious to the Provincial Press, that it is impos-
sible to send Advertisements beyond the Metropolis; but the
promoters of this Subscription confidently rely upon its sym-
pathy to make the case known, and that it will urge persons
throughout the country to undertake the trouble of conducting
Local Subscriptions, and sending the lists and amounts to any
if the above parties.
