Local committes will speedily he formed, and communica-
tions on the subject are desired is soon as convenient.
The names of bankers, directors, solicitors, and secretary,
with a full, ample, and satisfactory prospectus, will be issued
in a few days, and may be obtained at the office of the Metro-
politan Literary Journal, 13, Wellington-street, Strand, Lon-
don; where, in the meantime, applications for shares may be
made, and will be duly registered and laid with the bankers.
For the satisfaction of those numerous parties in the country
interested in the present undertaking, it is necessary here to
state generally the object and intention of the committee of ma-
nagement, and further information will afterwards be afforded.
This new political journal is instituted under powerful pa-
tronage for the purpose of thwarting in some measure the
avowed designs of the numerous radical newspapers lately
sprung up—of acting as an antidote to the objects and opinions.
of such papers as the Spectator, Examiner, and Atlas, hitherto
unopposed by any antagonist of their own form and character
—of spreading more widely and generally throughout the coun-
try (by a proper explanation, which is never attempted), prin-
ciples of a Conservative tendency—and of procuring a distinct
organ of Conservatism to communicate the proceeding of the
different Conservative Associations.
The principles upon which this journal will be conducted, are
of a very simple and intelligible character, for they have been
advocate'd by the greatest and wisest men this country his ever
produced, and are those now upheld by his Grace the Duke of
Wellington and Sir Robert Peel.
They are to defend at all times, and with all earnestness, the
strict and inviolable union now happily existing between church
and state; tomaintain the throne in all its integrity, and against
all arbitrary encroachment whether from within or from without;
to uphold the full and entire independence of both Houses of Par-
liament against the monarchy and the people on the one hand,
and their own mutual inroads on the other; and to teach the
people obedience to the laws, attachment to their established
faith, loyalty to the King, and justice to each other.
The " Metropolitan Conservative Journal" is also especially
intended to represent the shipping, the agricultural, and other
depressed interests; and will devote a careful attention to the
proceedings of the various railway, mining, canal, and other
companies.
Shareholders are more particularly sought 6r among the
clergy, the Conservative clubs, and associations, the shipping
and agricultural districts and associations.
Each Shareholder is expected to take a copy of the "Metro-
politan Conservative Journal," and in order to vary and widen
its circulation for the benefit of the shareholders, no one is
allowed to subsciibe for more than two shares ; for this purpose
also they have been made small. It will thus commence with
such an extensive and immediate circulation, as to allow at once
a large per centage for capital advanced; and to subscribers, in
addition; a considerable per centage will be allowed on adver-
tisements , sufficient to repay them for their outlay.
In order, moreover, to meet with the literary taste of the
British public, the " Metropolitan Literary Journal," which is
edited by a gentleman of high standing in contemporary litera-
ture, will, as soon as the duty is removed, be immediately stamped
and sent to all parts of the empire, thus allowing the Conserva-
tive Journal more entire and exclusive space for the diffusion of
its political opinions. Letters (post-paid) addressed to J.
WALKER Ono, Esq., office of the "Metropolitan Literary
Journal," 13, Wellington-street, or 29, Northumberland-street,
Strand, London, will he laid before the committee, and all in-
quiries replied to. Early applications fur shares are also re-
quested, as a considerable number are .already secured by
immediate friends of the undertaking, and in the country.
N.13.—1t may not be out of place here to add, that this was
the first journal proposed to be established on the present
principle, and the announcement was only delayed from the
uncertainty existing in the present stamp regulations. •
