THE NEW WORLD.
THE LARGEST, CHEAPEST. HANDSOM-
EST, .4ND MOST MPREHENSIFE
NE EWSPAPER IN THE UNITED
STATES


XXIITH multiplied resources for rendering the
" NEW WonLp more valuable than ever as
a compendous newspaper and repository Of elegant
literature, we enter upon the second volume (folo)
on the Gath Of October dressed in beautiful garb
of neW type, cast expressly for the purpose. 1t
will therefore be a fitting time to commence
subscriptions, as well for the renewal Of those
which may then expire.
During the first year Of the exstance Of the
NEw Worm, it has acquired reputation and
circulation superior to any weekly paper in the
country and has furnished to its subscribe rs during
that period, (besdes the current news Of The day,
domestic and foreign) new and valuable works by
ralfourd, D'Israeli, Thomas Moore, Miss Milford,
Mrs. Jameson, &. Dickens, Ainsworth, Knowles,
| Bulwer, Marryat, and ohers-works, which in Lon
don could not be purchased for fifty times the
amount Of the subscription price of the New
| World. In addition 10 works of interest by these
eminent authors, it has contained the cream OF the
periodical literature of the day, well original
articles from the pens of some of the most popular
! writers of America, among whom we may meuton
Miss Sedgwick, Orville Dewey, Professor Longfe-
low, the author of yankee Notions" Smms,
| Street, &c. &c.
In po.iticks shall, hitherto, maintain an
armed neutrality.-Our columns as heretofore will
be unobectionabe in moral point of view. In
criticism SHALL in justice to the public, mantaiH
a perfect independence, even though we iHcur the
vengence of all the Ounces. We shall, in conclu-
sion earnestly strive to render sheet not only
worthy of the unparalleled favour has experienced,
bu, of o continually extending circulation. While
we continue TO furnish with all possible promitude
the most attractive hlcr.t of The day, we shall,
as our means enlarge, afford that compensation to
native authors, which may induce them to m Ike
the New World the medium for presenting 10 the
public their best produ tlols. Our excellent Lon
don cores spondent will be continued, and due al
teniion will be paid the commercial, agricultural
and news departments OF our paper.
