PROSPECTUS
THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE.

In consequence Of the popularity which oul
daily paper has gained in all sections of the
country and the numerous demands we arc
receiving from all quarters for weekly jour
nal, We have determined on starting one of thai
description, to be entitled the "TnE WEEKLY
PIcAYUNE.n
Toadopt the same fgurativo style used in our
first prospectus, we have fitted out the "Pica-
yuae" for more distant voyages, and freighted
her with all sorts Of notions in the shape of
readdbleS; and if the same success attends her
which she has met with while coasng nearer
home, we shall doubtless receive rich returns.
To prepare our little craft for the more ex-
tended sea on which she is destined to move,
we have put on her many additions and inn
provoments Some Of her old timbers have
been taken out and replaced by new--sho has
a greater measurement foreand aft, greater
length of beam, and her sheets have been ma
terially enlarged
Notwth |tanding the Increased size, the pub
lie may rest assured that the 'Picdylne' will be
enabled to work in Shoal caicr with the same
facility as heretofore, and form channels Of
communication which it would be folly for the
dull heavy vessels OF present sailing this port
10 navigate.

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
1TIBl&RI '|| ADVOCATE.
JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Editor

| Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure,
which for the last twelve months, has cramp2i
and trammelled every depart nent Of the Nc
ohanicaI, Agricultural and Commercial com.
munity, the unwearied and interchangeable ener
gies Of American enterprise, are once more
giving eyidenceof higher and fairor prospect
before us. That quiescont attribute, which, for
a time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward procliyity to careiessness aud indii.
ference, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially disinthralled
from the fatal influence of too blind credu
lily in the infallibility of those whom we have
elevated above us, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, hap
Ipy result in the experiment Of this last and
once purest Of Republics9
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revolution
which has already commenced, and which is
Istil going on in the opinion of the people, so
far as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER
al Government, the present Proprietor is about
to embark in the publication Of the Liberty
Advocate.
Two years ago, this Journal dated its origln'
at period when, in this County, II had many
difficulties to encounter, and the strongest op'
position 10 contend with. The enduring, and
as we conceive, orthodox principles, when
have nurtured and sustained the journal through
good and through evil reports" had then ID
their infancy, but mere minority when s"s,
tanned it. But, the resistless march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recedc, has brought about
brighter and fairer dawn; and the phlIaa
lhropist and the patriot can now look IN pro-
spectiye upon the revisit of those purer days
which once pointed to the destiny Of our mucO
beloved country. ~.
The political creed of the Advocate will Do
the same which it has heretofore advocated
State Rights and Stale Sovereignty, will be inc
artcrial action which shall give life and amin
alton to its political character.-But, while OK
orcising a tcnacity for those principles whicn
will never yield to caprice, the columns Oh 'lG
journal will, at all times, be open to LIBERIA
and offered as ready channel to lns
tide Of passing events, and an acceptable organ
of general science and useful knowledge.
We cordially invite the patronage oil all nus
who concur with us in sentiment, aswell 40 -.
magnanimity of those who dissent from US y
politics, TO cooperate in sustaining the Pro%V.
The Advocate will in future appear, under Wv
Editorial supervision Of JAMES M. SMILEY, bs4n
and published on the same terms OF thgi0
mer numbers, by A. W. FORSl liz

MARRYING BECAUSE THE WEATHER IS CoLp.
The Philadelphia Ledger advises bachelors
to get married because winter is upon u.s.
How does he know that they will be bettered
by the changer There is no certainty Of get
ting a noarm wife, We sleep comfortably G,
Inough, although we sleep alone. There is no
such bothcration with US as married men have
-snch as your wife bawling out in the middle
of the night when you are enjoying sweet
dream,
"John! take away your elbow"
James, lie further on the other sidc!-
You'll have me out Of bed"
"Josoph! you've kicked The kiver of J"
"Hcnry! get up you lazy dog. It'sday break"
Orchard! turn out, and put on the !eo-kot-
tle!" &c. &c.
/ Nothing Of this kind ever troubles US
There we lie in our little cot, (Which is Just large
enough for one,) with its clean white sheets
over our person, tucked comfortably in about
the sides, and our head raised to dignifed
height, by having our corduroys stuffed under
the pillow. How comfortable! We wish we
were there now instead of here. When we 90
to bed, we never have occasion to cxclaim, with
the yirtuous, yet sofupbrading Roman
"We have lost doyw
out to its full length, 1--WE don't curl ourselves
up in bed, as vuIgorions doD and say, in tone
of seli-satislaclion--
DWELL, here lies single gentleman, and an
honest editor, type-sticker and devil, after a
hard days work"
We then say our prayers, turn over on our
left side, and 90 10 sleep. We always sleep
soundIy, because there's no stains nor grease
spots on our conscience to prevent it. Our
prayer runs something after this wisc:--
"Swcet powers! Grant that the Sun may have
a good sale tomorrow, and the little news boys
may Hork over" the funds punctually.--
Grant that that Mr. will not push his
bill against us TIL we ure a little better off,
Grant that the buckwheat cakes may not be all
eaten before VIC get up We go in for flap
jacks Grant that The banks may resume spe-
clio payments when they have promised TO do so.
Grant that the world may grow better than it
is, 50 that honest people like ourselves may
stand chance Of getting smack when they're
hungry. Amen ~, ~ sun

Victoria.

Bennet's Morning Herald of lbo 10th ult
contains much scandal respecting ,Ae paIaco'o i
| Queen Victoria--such as the locking up by
mistake Of one of the male pages in the little
Iqueenss bed room, and adds
"The London Morning Herald Of December
18th, has asingular story about another young
man, named Edward Cotton, Of highly res
.pocab.e family, who Yves found in the Queens
apartments in the palace, under circumstances
olQn extraordinary nature as the Herald says
A sword was iountin the bed-chamber; two let
ters were found on him, one addressed to the
Queen, and the other to the Hon. Augustus
Murray, son Of the Duke of Sussex; some bears
grease, OF which he had used, was found in the
bed. 1t seems he had been in the palace in the
Queens apartment for some weeks, and had a
iavorite apartment, and was always hid, when
tho Queen had meeting with her ministers,
behind acertain piece of furniture in the room.
The affair created tremendous sensation in
London; it appears pretty evident from his ex
before official digtIitaries, that hcI
has been in the Queens private apartments in-I
GLIDING her bed room at all hours Of the davI
and night for weeks together"
