Commission merchants and others hauinn
freight in the shape Of advertisements TO shipoS
for tho country trade, would do well to send
them on board our clipper, as she is up for eve.
ry city in the U. States, and all intermediate
landings.
We reiterate to those fanatcal pirates who
cruise under the black fag-who oppose slave,
ry because they are themselves the slaves r.
ignorance and uperstition--who pretend ~
rub clean the upper decks of their neiphho.s
with holy stone--we say look out Tor breal,ot.,
To Hotel keepers we recommend our pano,
in every engagement her commander will bo
first to lead on the boarderS!
To the Heads of Families the trim apDeor
ance of our craft will be an object of neeres,
Most married folks have experienced the eff.
fects OF Hght-Sparring.
We shall endeavor to make those smugglero
the Bachelors, heave to--show them the advon'
tages of the proper "coslpaRiOnway,n recon.
mending a double stae-room, with births 90
We shall send our boat aboard Thea,ricolo
and other amusements; those pretty pleasure
boats, which make our passage over the laka
of ike so delightful. Dancing we shall espe.
cially encourage; as we conceive that the safe.
ty of vessel often depends upon keeping both

pumps going.
On first launching the "Picayune" we prom.
iscd to carry a press Of sail in case we were
warranted by sale from the press. Through
all the storms which have ragged since she first
sailed she has borne up under full sales, with.
out ever being taken aback, and is now rank.
ed A. /. at all the insurance and other Offices
of the city. Our policy still holds good, and
we never intend it shall run ont.
Dropping our figure, and returning to plain
language, we will now add that we in tend to
make the Picayune vehicle of fun, wit hu-
NOR and sentiment, and little Of every thing
hats going on. 1t shall be our delight to crack
okes, to tell stories in our own way,to ridicule
folly, and to correct the manners Of the age
by exciting laughter against them. In this,
however, we shall endeavor to avoid that licen-
iousness which vainly seeks to benefit the pub
ic by wounding the feelings of individuals.
A portion of our paper will be occupied with
notices of all passing events
giving the pith of the news Of the day, with
out burdensome details.
We eschew partisan politics; yet we shall
continue to express our opinions imparhally
On all public measures. Folies in govern
ment as we'll as in social life are open to rid
cue; and when the humor seizes US, we shall
not spare them, on whichever party the cen
sure may fall
All local occurrunces of general interest
shall be promptly noticed, SO that our distant
readers may see at a glance the miniature
world which is congregated in the emporium.
With this erpose of our intentions, and de-
termined 10 endeavor with unromittng indus
try to fulfil them, we look with confidence for
a continuance of that patronage which has
hitherto been so cordially extended to us.
The "Weekiy Picayune" will be published
every Monday morning, at IS 90 per annums
payable in all cases in advances; and will con-
tain four additional columns, embracing all
the news of the week, with whatever Of in
terest transpires on Sunday.
Those persons at distance who will pro-
cure four subscribers, and send us a $50 bill,
shall be entitled to one copy gratis.
