VXTITH multiplied resources for rendering the
w New WoRLD more valuable than ever az
a compendious newspaper and repository of elegant
literature, we enter upon the second volume (folo)
on the Gath Of October, dressed in beautiful garb
OF neo type, cast expressly for the purpose. 1t
Will therefore be fitting time to commence new
subscriptions, as well as for the renewal of those
which may then expire.
During the first year of the existance Of the
NEW WoRLD, it has acquired a reputation and
circulation superior to any weekly paper in the
county and has furnished to its subscribers during
mat period, (besides al the current of the day,
domestic and foreign) new and valuable works by
Iafourd, D'Israeli, Thomas Moore, Miss Milford,
MIS-. Jameson, Z. Dickens, Ainsworth, Knowles,
Bulwer, Marryat, 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, 1t has contained the cream Of the
periodical literature OF the day, as well original
alicles from the pens of some of the m ost popular
writers OF America, among whom we may mention
Miss Sedswick, Orville Dewey, Professor Lonefe-
low, the author of yankee Notions" Simms,
Street, &c. &c.
In po'iicks we shall, as hitherto maintain an
armed neutray.-Our columns as heretofore will
be unohjectionable in a moral point of view. In
criticism we shall, in justice to the public, mantain
perfect independence, even though we iHcur the
vcngence OF oil the ounces We shall, in conclu-
sion, earnestly strive to render our sheet not only
worthy of the unparalleled favour il has Iperianccd
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 IN Ike
the New World the medium for presenting TO The
public their best productions. Our excellent LON
don correspondent Will be continued, and due at
ten'ion will be paid 10 the comercisl agricultural
and news departments of our paper.
