NEW YORK WEEKLY WHIG.
July Is

weekly paper has induced us TO COM
mence "THE NEw-YoRK WEEKLY WIG -
We have incurred considerable expense in
order TO furnish our readers with sheet suf-
ficiently large to contain all the necessary
matter expected in weekly paper. We
now present them with the largest paper in
the United States.
ON PoLITIcs our course is already known /;
our articles will be comprehensive, moder.
ate and candid, with enough frmness and
decision to convince our adversares that
! they cannot drive us from the field while there
is rag of the Wing banner for us to rally
under
SCIENTIFIC SKETCHES will also appear
regularly.
We have made arrangements by which
we will be enabled to present every week.
excellent MEDICAL REPORTS This depart
ment will be under the supervision of one of
the most eminent, experienced and skifuI
surgeons OF this city, and cannot fail to be
exceedingly interesting. There is not a
medical Journal published in New York, and
something of the kind has been much need
ed. We trust our medical department will
IN great measure supply the want of so
desirable a publication.
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC News, we shall
give as fully as possible, and we intend TO
copy largely from the French and English
papers.
FOREIGN LITERATURE will meet with care
tul attention. Our resources in this depart
ment are lnexhaustible. German and

ticed. This department is supplied by one
of the first scholars of the country.
HISTORICAL SKETCHES will appear fre-
quenty, and care will be observed to have
them correct.

the Weekly Wing. 1t is our intention to
furnish accurate wood cut likenesses of our

The DRAMA we shall take under our es-

to do justice to the talented, we shall also
closely crticise the wretched murders so
constantly committed upon the stage.
READINGS FOR CHILDREN will be furnish
ed, with wood cut generally accompany
ing. Our object here will be to interest and
amuse the ing generation.
THE Music of the stage needs reforma
ton and il will become our duty to point out,
as far as possible, several Improvements
which are absolutely required by the rapidly
increasing intelligence of the community.
10 THE LADIES we have a word to say
we shall not forget their interes is balls,
parties and the fashions will claim our no
iIce frequently, and receive such attention
as will please. We are fully aware, that to
render our paper agreeable, we must re-
ceIve the patronage and encouragement of
our fair friends, We shall endeavor to de-
serve it by always furnishing something
suitable to their tastes.
TALES of engrossing interestSwil always
be found in the Weekly Whig&
REVIEWS of late publications, and notices
of Novels and Romances, will be regularly
given.

which we shall soon insert.

will add much to the value of the paper.

ployed, who for long time has been en-
gagged in procuring commercial intelligence
