INCREASED ATTRACTION,

WE are gratifed in being able to an
nounce to our numerous readers that we are
nal ing arrangements for commencing our new yo-
lune under the most favorable auspices The con-
stanv increasing patronage of the Chronicle is well
calculated to produce corresponding efforts on the
part of the publishers and it is therefore that we
determined to spare neither pains nor expense in the
determination to render this family newspaper at
least equal, if not superior O any similar publica-
ton in this country. The fourth volume will COM
mence on the 18th of May ensuing, and for that
day we have already secured contributions from sew
eral of the ablest writer's in the country. In evil
dence of this we promise the following articles
A powerfully written tale, Of Domestic Life, by
Robert Morris editor of the PennsylvanaInquirer.
A Poem by Miss Mary Emily Jackson.

Hart Esq John Clarke, Esq. Chas. West Thom-
son, Esq DR.. Alexander &. Draper, and others
whose valuable aid has been secured for the next
volume.
But it is not alone in the original department that
we intend to make improvements Our resources
for elegant and interesting extracts from European
periodicals, and the works OF popular English wri-
tiers, have been greatly enlarged We are now in
the receipt of most of the leading London, Edin-
burgh and Paris periodicals, and from time to time
shall avail ourselves of their contents as they may
fseem calculated to amuse or instruct.
In addition to these features, the new volume
will contain variety of interesting wood cut in
cravings, as well as all the most fashionable ballads
melodies and songs, set to music, that the gen.
ter' portion of our readers may feel assured of OBJ
tanning through this medium every thing that pos
sesses interest or merit in the musical world.
Our object in short throughout our future course
will be to increase the claims and merit, and thus
enhance the reputation of our journal-diligentf from
week to week to Gull out every thing calculated to
entertain inform, and at the time careful to
exclude every thing calculated to offend propriety
and virrue, or to weaken or insult the moral tone Of
the thousands of families to whose tastes curiosity
! and amusement it is our business as well as our
| pleasure 10 administer
Our list is already large-but our expenses arc
| by no means incOnsiderable and while the former
shall continue to increase, through the kindness
and partiality OF our friends, shall not hesitate in
relation to the latter 1t is the object of our amp
| ton tie render the Saturday Chronicle Just such
public journal as the mother may delight in com
mendng to her daughter, the father to the son, ant
| the philanthropist to the community at large.
