EST, and MOST COMPREHENSIVE
NEWSPAPER IN THE UNITED

WAIITH multiplied resources for rendering the
Wv New WoRLD more valuable than ever as
a compendous newspaper and repository of elegant
literature, enter upon the second volume (foio)
on the Gath Of October, dressed in beautiful garb
Of new type, cast expressly for the purpose. 1t
will therefore be fitting time TO commence new
subscriptions well as for the renewal of those
which may then expire.
During the first year of the existance of tho
NEw WoRLp, it has acquired reputation and
circulation superior to any weekly paper in the
country and has furnished to its subscribers, during
that period (besides all the current news ofhe day,
domestic and foreign) new and valuable works by
Talfourd, D'lsraeli, Thomas Moore, Miss Milford,
Mrs. Jameson, G. Dickens, Ainsworth Knowles,
Bulwer, Marryat, and others-uorks, 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 tho
periodical literature of the day, as well as original
aiticles from the pens of of the most popular
writers Of America, among whom we may mention
Miss Sedswick, Orville Dewey, Professor Longfe-
low, the author of yankee Notions" Simms,

In po,iticks We shall, as hitherto, maintain an
armed neutrality.-Our columns as heretofore will
be unobeconable in moral point of view. In
criticism we shall, i'll justice to The public, mantan
| a perfect independence, even though iHcur the
vengence of sll the ounces. We shall, in conclu-
sion, earnestly stTi"c to render our sheet not only
worthy of the unparalleled iavourit il has experianced
but of a continually extending circulation. While
we continue 10 furnish with all possible promtitude
the most attractive literature of the day, shall,
our means enlarge, afford that compensation TO
native authors, which may induce them to IN ,ke
the New World the medium for presenting TO the
public their best productions. Our excellent LON

tention will be paid to the comercial, agricultural
and news departments of our paper.
