THE PROPRIETOR feels an indescribable pleasure in
being the hUmble instrument of introducing to the no-
tice of a liberal and diScriminating public, the inestimable
production of departed genius, whose talents, like a meteor
of transcendent light, hare reflected glory on the country of
his birtb,.aind shed lustre on civilized Europe, giving impetus
to, and '
promoting that refinement of taste, veneration for
and deviation of soul which true greatness dime inspires;

A NEW AND INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER.

On ➢IO)NDAY, the 6111 of AUGUST,

WILL BE PUBLISHED
IN MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL,
And from thence forwarded by Express anti rapid Convey-
ances to all parts of the Country,
ruins. First Number of a New County Journal, entitled
1 THE LANCASHIRE HERALD. Price Fivepence.
It has long been a matter of surprise that Lancashire
alone; netwithstanding its immense importance, wealth, and
pitpulatiOn,. should hitherto have been without a County
Paper; - thus leaving the great body of agriculturists, and
Many of the manufacturing districts scattered throughout
the county, without an organ to watch over and represent
their interests. It is. therefore, presumed that a fair oppor-
• • tunity 'presents itself for the successful establishment of such
- a Paper, especially as the projectors have been -encouraged
by many promises of favour and support.
The l'imscietits of the Larscssnine HER 41,0 willbe is/-
dependent and decicredits tone that of argumentative and
temperate diScussion. We shall appeal to the reason, not to
the passions of our readers; and, while prepared to defend to
.thcutinost every thing that appears precious in our political
and religious institutions, and consequently worthy of preser-
vation, we shall be found equally determined to root out all
that we conceiver to be obnoxious or injurious. Those who,
with the sante feelings, pursue a course different from ours,
and, therefore, in our opinion, erroneous, shall meet from us
the respect due to honourable antagonists. Against all that
is mischierous and designedly destructive we shall raise our
Ir”ice,.but not mere loudly than against that which is corrupt,
servile,` And -oppressive.
OierieWS•on. general Politics, and the tone in which we
advocate them, will be better appreciated after a few num-
bers, 144d-dal experience, than by promises and professions.
Iw Ltical and Provincial matters we shall do our best to pro-
'cure that species of infolmation which, in commercial dis-
tricti,it iriost desirable. Our arrangements to present 6ur
reader, With accurate and late reports of Markets, Funds,
Manufactures, Shipping, Mining, Sporting, and in short, all
branches of Trade, Agriculture, Commerce, or Speculation,
are elready equal to those of any other establishment, and
we shall spare neither pains nor expense to render them still
More perfeet; •
TO the toeitione more peculiarly connected with our ma-
nufaCtbring districts we come with minds altogether unbi-
assed- Warped neither by the suggestions of sordid selfish-
Hess, nor unreflecting prejudice, it shall be our business to
advocate whit are at once the true interests of the employer
and'the'eMployed—interests which, if properly understood,
are-iWtetality the sall,. •
In the important body-of LICENSED VICTUALLERs we have
induential friends, and we shall endeavour to supply them
with'ijoutnal such as they can conscientiously patronise,
and which Veill-Nedrocate their special interests, and strongly
oppose artyrundue interference with their vested rights. In
short,- there' is no class of the community in this hive of
bustling and ever-moving trade, which may not command
our services for the promotion of honourable and English
pe rposteir And dentands.•
Though we shall not be insensible to the fascination of
graceful wit;. nor the piquancy of delicate satire, yet all per-
sonality'ilhall be excluded from our columns.
In a word: we promise to give a journal conducted in a
plain,"itrightforward, honest manner,—" Fearing,"—as the
best book in the world says, with a slight variation for which
we have no reason to offer anything like an apology—
' "Fearing tiod and Honouring the Queen !';—
contending fairly with fair antagonkts —maintaining crpe-
rally the cause of England, to the -hest of our abilities, at'hoeme
and abroad; and,' Locally, all, those interests 'which, in a
space of time not very much exceeding the age,.so long ago
naerked to that of man, has raised -Liverpool,: Manchester.
and their sister towns, from poor' hamlets in rude and path-
less districts, to the rank of merchant-cities,' cOmbinin i
the lintalivfl space the most dense population and thernnsnt
productive -wealth.
In the-minor departments—we mean minor as regards the
"anitrlne*a of a newspaper—Literature. Drama, Music,
w
e have engaged more talentali than, we believe, vas ever
heft" elliagekttitdnnaeels:rnotrtierincti 'aper ; and we can. promise
iatparlialitv, ton and generosity in the exer
Cm of the powers committed to the hands of out: critics.
