THE Weekly PicGy,sne.

tilns Of the country, and the numerous
demands VIC are receiving from all quar-
tiers FRA weekly journal, we have deter
, mined on starting enc of that description
u be entitled ''rnE WEEKLY PICAYI'NE."
TO adopt the same iigaralive STYLE rset
in our first prospectus, we have fitted or
the "PicayaRe" for more distant VOYAGES
and freighted her with all sorts Of notions
IN the shape of reddaLles; and il the same
success attend her which she has met witt
while coasting nearer home,w we shall DOUBT
less receive rich returns.
To prepare orr little craft for the more
extended sea On which she is destined tC
move, we haze put On her manv additions
and improvements. Some of her old tim
bers have been taken out AMI replaced by
new-she has a greater measurement fire
and aft, a greater ledgth ofbeam, and her
sheets have been materially enlarged.
Notwithstc nding The increased size, the
public may rest assured that the 'PicdyHHe'
will be enabled TO work in shout rdicr
with the same facility rs heretofore, and
form chonne!s Of communication which it
would be folly for the dali heavy vessels at
present sailing this port to navigate.
Commission merchants and others hay
/ ing freight in the shape of advertisements
to ship for the country trade, would do
well 70 send them On board our clipper, af
t she is up for eN erv city in the L. S., and
all intermediate landings.
We reiterate to these fanatical pirates
who cruise under the LlGck flag-who OF
pose slavery because they are themselves
the slaves ofignorance and superstition
who pretend to rub clean the upper decks
of their neighbors with holy stone-we
say, look ont for breakers.
To Hotel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her com
mander will be first to lead on the boar
dcrS!
TO the heads of families the trim ap-
pcarance Of our craft vii! he an object of
interest. Most married folks have expo
rienced the effects OF light sparring
We shall endeayor to make those snug
glers, the Bachelors, heaye to--show them
the advantages of the proper g. ompqaion-
trav.' recommending double state-room,
with 6irttS, &C.
We shall send our boat aboard Theatri-
Gals and other amusements; those pretty
pleasnre-boats, which make our passage
over the lake of life 50 delightful. Dane
ing we shall especially encourage; as we
conceive that the safety of a vessel often
depends upon keeping both pumps going.
On first launching the "Picayune'' we
promised to carry press Of sail in case we
were warranted BY sale from the press
Through all the storm which have ragged
since she first sailed she has borne mp I'M
der full sales, without ever being taken
aback, and is now ranked A. ]. at all the
insurance AMI other Offices of the citv.-
Our policy still holds good, and Wa never
intend it shall run ont.
Dropping our fig ire, and returning to
plain lang Iagc, we will now ad that we
intend to make the Picayune vehicle ol
fun, wit, hum0r and sentiment, anil Il lit
tie of every thing that's going on. 1t shall
be oar delight to crack kes, to tell stories
in our own way, to redicnle folly, to cor
rect the manners of the age by exciting
laughter against them. In this, h1wev r
we shall en- leavor to avoid that iicenii)ns
ness which vainly seeks to benefit tn
public by wounding the feelings Of ind
viduals.
A portion of our paper will be occapie
with comprehensive notices Of all pnssin,
eyents-giving the pith of the news of tn
DAY; without burdensomc details.
We eschew partisan politics; vet w
shall continue to express our opinions i'm
partially on all public measures. FIlie
in government as we'll as in social life ar
open to ridcule; anl when the hnmo
seizes US, we shall not spare them, {
whichever party the censIrc may fall.
All local occurrences Of general inter
est shall be promptly noticed, SO that OF
distant readers may see at glance tn
; miniature world which is ccngrcgated i
the emporium,
/, With this oppose Of our intentions, an
determined to endeayor with unremittn
industry to fulfil them, we look with conf
dence for Il continuance of that patrOnlg
which has hitherto been SO cordially e,
tended to us.
The "Weehly Picayune" will be prbjsl
ed every Monday morning, at $500 pc
annum, payable in all cases in advance
and will contain four additional column,
embracing oil the news Of the week, wit
whatever Of interest transpires on San
day.
Those persons at distance who wi
procure loar subscribers. and senl us ?
dollar Lii, shall be entitled to one cop
gratis.
