WXTITH multiplied resources for rendering the
" NEw WonLD more valuable than
a compendious newspaper and repository Of ecg mt
literature, we enter upon the second volume (foio)
on the Gath Of October dressed in beautiful garb
Of ne,c type, cast expressly for the purpose. 1t
will therefore be fitting time to commence new
subscriptions, as well for the renewal Of those
which may then expire.
During the first year of the existance Of the
New WoRLD, it has acquired reputation and
circulation superior to any weekly paper in the
counlry and has furnished to its subscrb RS during
that period, (besides the current news Of the day,
domestic and foreign) new and valuable works by
Tafourd, D'Tsraeli, Thomas Moore, Miss Milford,
Mrs. Jameson, q. Dickens, Ainsworth. Knowles,
Bulwer, Malryat, and others-works, which in Lon
don could not he purchased for fifty times the
amount of the subscription price OF the New
World. In addition TO works of interest by these
eminent authors, it has contained the cream Of the
periodical literature of the day, as well original
articles from the pens Of some OF the most popular
writer's OF America, among whom we may mention
Miss Sedswick, Orvie Dewey, Professor Longfel-
low, the author Of yankee Notions" Simms,
Street, &c. &c.
In po iticks we shall, as hitherto, maintnin an
armed neutrality.-Our columns as heretofore will
he unoljeciionablo in a moral point Of view. In
criticism shall, in justice to the public, MAINTAIN
perfect independence, even though we incur the
vengence OF all the ounces We shall, in conclu-
sion earnestly strive to render sheet not only
worthy of the unparalleled favour II has experienced,
but of continually extending circulation. While
we continue to furnish with all possible promitude
the mos, attractive liter ture Of the day, we shall,
as our means enlarge, afford that compensation to
native authors, which may induce them to N Ike
the New World the medium for presenting TO the
public their best productions. Our excellent Lon
don correspondent will be continued, and due al
tenion will be paid 10 the comercal, agricultural
and news departments Of our paper
